Filed Oct 19, 2023 · Electrical, Engine · MD

The vehicle throws the abs, esp,break and traction control lights and then while driving completely at random then turns off WHILE DRIVING!!!! which can cause an accident (I and my daughter are lucky to be alive) this is not ok the vehicle drives fine then at random throws those lights and shuts off after restarting it the check engine light comes on and says the transmission shift solenoid b is malfunction and the vehicle wouldn't shift properly. Luckily I had my code reader I. The car with me I cleared the code and now the car drives fine until this happens again I'm scared to drive it this is dangerous their's no warning. I drive on the highway everyday their's no warning it happens at random 2 times I've been lucky. No codes came up driving after clearing it and the car drives fine now but it's happened 2 times while driving this is extremely dangerous and I don't know what to do because with the codes gone the issues are gone but they randomly all the lights mentioned above come on and then the car shuts off with no warning then when you restart it it throws a different code for a different problem the first time was a low voltage code I cleared it and even Tho my battery tested good I replaced it and two days later the same issue and a different code

It started with all dash lights coming on saying it had issues and then just stopped dead in road. I had tpim put in, then alternator , and then new battery. Was fine and then head lights stopped coming on . Next, it starting with horn, and everything under the sun coming on and not stopping. Took to shop and they thought they found it, and drove for a day and as soon as I turned on headlights it stalled. In motion on a street driving.

Vehicle has122000 miles. I am second owner,and have had it for almost 10 years. About 18 mths ago vehicle began locking/unlocking itself. About a year ago, it started shutting down all power while driving, randomly. 3 weeks ago, all warning lights in dash and all electrical systems in vehicle began to malfunction, like it was possessed. Local garage diagnosis was malfunctioning tipm. Repair was completed at $800 cost for remanufactured tipm, and problem still persists.

2008 dodge nitro with 80,000 miles driving in town and all the dash warning lights came on blinking and the engine almost stalled. It continued while driving it. Took it to mechanic next day but lights were not on. 3 pages of "lost communication" codes printed. Mechanic said it was most likely the main computer but the lights were not on so they couldn't fix. The next day lights all came back on driving on highway car almost stalled and it wouldn't shift. We drove it straight to mechanic. It would not restart. Thankfully it was parked at this time. Mechanic said it's the main computer module and will cost $1500-$2500 to fix. If it died while we were driving it would have been tragic! It has under 100,000 miles this should not have happened already. We did not take pictures of all the warning lights that would be the only evidence we have. We can upload a bill once we get it.

I was driving at about 20-30 MPH. My car started making a whining sound then my dashboard lit up with multiple lights starting with the battery and then all of them. Luckily I was able to get to the side of the road before it completely died. I had it towed to a garage. They tried changing the alternator and battery. It still won't turn on. It is now at a dealership and currently can't figure out what is wrong with it.

Vehicle lost power, brakes & steering, all warning lights lit up, wipers and pump running continually, horn blaring continually, and fan motor running even with keys out of ignition. This happened in rush hour traffic on the way to work and I barely got it off the road and out of traffic before coming a stop against a curb! Replaced the tipm & battery within the last 4 months and it's only gotten worse!

On 3/21/18 I was driving through a major intersection when the battery dash light came on in my truck. I found this to be odd since I had just had a brand-new battery installed on in my truck on 1/8/18, then the following events occurred in rapid succession: all of the dash warning lights came on, the A/C which was on at the time and blowing very cold air, began blowing hot air, I attempted to roll down the electric powered windows and they would not work; the windshield wipers came on without prompting. I quickly decided to turn around and go back home since I was a short distance away. I decided to take a route through a residential neighborhood since I was unsure what would happen next and thought it would be best not to be on a major roadway if anything further occurred. I made a left into the residential neighborhood and noticed my truck was moving very sluggish and making a weird noise. I was approaching a stop sign up ahead; however, before I could apply the brakes my truck just cut off. I quickly put the gear in park and attempted to turn on my hazard light for oncoming traffic to go around me but I realized at this point my truck had absolutely no power. A gentleman on a bicycle stopped to assist me and we decided it would be best if he pushed my truck around the corner I was stalled at, to keep from obstructing oncoming traffic. He instructed me to put the truck in neutral but I was unable to do so, I could not turn the car on nor could I move it out of park gear. The street I was stopped on is a major road for entering and exiting the neighborhood that I was attempting to pass through to get home. The street I was on is a major road for entering and exiting the neighborhood that I was attempting to pass through to get home. I called aaa and had my truck towed home; its still sitting broken.
