What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge nitro. While the vehicle was stationary, the front driver's side door would not lock when prompted. In addition, the power windows would not roll down and the headlights malfunctioned. Asheboro dodge (1709 east dixie dr, asheboro, north carolina 27203, (336‑625‑6123) diagnosed that the fuse box needed to be replaced. The dealer stated that the part was no longer manufactured. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 210,000. The VIN was not available.
My vehicle headlights will not cut on. Though it is not all the time it does happen a good 80% of the time and more now than ever. When you unlock the lock the lights will flicker. Then when you go to cut the lights on they will flicker on and off until they cut completely off and will not come back on until either the next day or the next couple of days. The lights will not cut on in motion or at a complete stop. This is a serious hazard especially for those who go in and get off work at night. This can cause accident and is definitely considered endangerment.
Low beam headlights do not work most of the time. One or the other might work at random times. Removed horn fuse as the horn would honk at random times for various amounts of time. Can not drive this vehicle safely in the dark.
Headlights come and go car dies and can not steer in rain wipers quit working the tpim module is going out chrysler has been in a class action suit for this and is claiming they are not responsible but the problem is so bad that the tpim module is on national back order 2 to 3 months to receive the new module plus 1200 dollars have contacted chrysler corporate office numerous times and no help so far.
