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.
I was driving down the rd and all of the sudden my truck jumps into 2nd gear and looses all power to speed up and it seems like I'm in neutral my relay box is messing up everything electrical now it shuts off at stop signs and if it keeps doing all this I'll have to replace transmission. I've already replace tipm 2 times.
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.
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.
