Brake light have stopped working randomly. Were working fine one day then next day I have no brake lights, I've had several people see if they could find the problem with no success. Could possibly be faulty wiring to the brake lights? Put just normal tail lights work with only those lights when breaking. I've also seen several same make and model vehicles with the same issue in the same town that I live

were replaced, the failure recurred. Additionally, the turn signals were inoperable. The vehicle was previously taken to an unknown dealer for recall regarding the wiper motor and was repaired. The contact also stated that the vehicle failed to start on several occasions. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure several times and confirmed that the vin was not subjected to a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
I started my car then after 5 miutes my radio and lights turned off the my engine turned off. At 3am we heard someone honking outside and it went on for 20 minutes until a neighbor knocked to tell me it was my car honking but there was nobody in the car. I pressed my alarm key off and on but nothing would stop it finally I took the horn fuse out and disconnected the car battery. A person on the web told me he had a similair problem and it was a recall "electrical system" nhtsa vehicle safety recall. I typed in 2007...

dodge nitro slt and that was one of the recalls on mine. So the car turned off while parked and car on and also at he lights and the horn goes off. A mechanic told me it sounds like the (tipm).
The driver side break light and reverse light has had to be replaced too frequently. Now the gear shift - diag code u0103 seems to cause the loss of communication of the gear position. That only allows the vehicle to only travel about 20mph and approx 3000 rpm , which can be very dangerous if there is a unexpected slow down on the highway
My low beams stopped working, it is not the bulbs. High beams work and so do the fog lights, just not the low beams. Very dangerous situation at night.
For over the last year my car has been locking and unlocking on its own . My horn had been sounding off even while im driving without me utilizing the horn and even when im at home without the alarm on. I also have had repaet issue with the headlight and taillights because the wires keep burning out .
During the summer or winter time the remote control don't work. Also the front planel show me some blinker lights when I use the directional light. The remote control issues in very unsafety because this car have just a door with the key access. If you have some emergency inside or fire, you can't open the doors. If you have children this issue will be a potential fatality because the others door are locked to access from outside. Please put attention in issue because I read more electrical problems in other websites in the same way. For this reason I started this petition.
The vehicle windshield wipers wont turn off and turn on, and turn on by themselves when you use the turn signal, or the wipers do not work at all. Whenever this random situation occurs the vehicle will also not start. The starter turns but the engine will not kick over. The driver side door handle broke off at 25,000 miles and the drivers side controls for the windows and locks operates at about 25% functionality.
My vehicle completely shut down twice while I was driving. Another problem I have with this vehicle is that the car unlocks by itself, turning on the headlights and draining the battery. This has happened several times recently and is very frustrating. *Tr
Was driving and was flagged down and told my right and left tail light was not working. The middle brake light comes on but the right and left do not work. I have had the brake light switch replaced, checked the fuses and replaced both tail light circuit boards with nothing working. *Tr
Interior door handles keep breaking easily. Would result in fatality in case of fire. Brake lights keep going out with new bulbs. It's electrical problem. Very dangerous to other drivers on road as well as passengers. *Tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge nitro. The contact stated that both rear brake lights malfunctioned. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the bake light assembly had overheated causing the wiring to melt. The light assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 87,107.
(1) The brake light on top of my tail gate is out. The cost of this light is $79.50. The cost of the other 2 side brake lights is $2.50 Each. I will go to jail for having a light out before I pay $80. For this 3rd light. What do I do? (2) The front amber marker lights have gone out. These lights are only $2.50 Each but it will cost me $95 to change one of them because the front of the car has to come off to change it. This should be illegal. What do I do? (3) The door mounted rear view mirrors are too big and...

mounted too high. The mirror along with the windshield post creates a huge blind spot when looking for traffic coming from the right or when turning to the left. At least once a month I almost pull out into a car in that blind spot. Very dangerous and poor engineering. What do I do? *Tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge nitro. The contact stated the tail lamps stopped working continuously. The contact also mentioned that all of the lights on the instrument panel were flickering. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the lamp, the bulb holder and the wiring harness needed to be replaced in order to remedy the short within the wiring. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance and referred her to nhtsa. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000 and current mileage was 90,000.
The wiper blades stopped working during a rain storm and the turn signals wouldn't work, couldn't turn the head lamps off or on.
Interior hazing of the headlamp lenses. Both replaced at 16,000, right side replaced again at 30,000, left side starting to show slight signs of same problem at 33,000. *Tr
I have had a continuous problems with stalling, transmission, and braking with my new vehicle! The dealer did the recalls the reprogramming for all compontents and even replaced a kinked fuel line and they did not document that they replaced it, they told me that it wasn't available from dodge so they said they pulled it off one on the lot! The transmission slips, chugs, chatters, shudders,everything that a transmission is not susposto do! So they replaced the torque converter,i got it back and after about 20...

minutes of driving the same problems started again just not as bad, each time I drive it it gets worst just not as frequent,now with the brakes, the esp/bas light comes on, when its on the brakes are real touchy like sudden stopping ,and lunging you forward, the dealer cut the rotors for a pulsation but did nothing about the light coming on! I guess if the computer doesn't say there is something wrong then nothing is, a computer is only as smart as who programmed it! There are many other problems, its been in the dealer 3 times for a total of ten days so far mainly the same three components well I have to take it back again because there is still something wrong with it, and now the engine has a loud tick, and a hissing sound along with the same concerns as before. *Tr
