Anti-theft Devices Problems of Dodge Nitro

I had 2 consecutive instances yesterday where, while driving, all of the notices came on on the dashboard display, my anti lock brakes locked up and then released, along with my horn and front and rear wipers engaging and not being able to be turned off. Also, once I pulled over and removed the keys, these issues continued, and the vehicle was still running despite no key being in the ignition. After waiting approximately 20 minutes, and once all of the anti theft features had stopped, I got back into my car, started it, and no more than 40 feet down the road, the vehicle repeated the earlier issue with the anti lock brakes locking up momentarily, the horn was blaring, and both the front and rear wipers started and wouldn't stop even when trying to use the wiper control to turn them off. Again, the vehicle appeared to still be running even after shutting the key off and removing it from the ignition.

After locking the vechicle you come back and unlock it and put in the key and it will not allow you to start the vehicle. This has happened to my husbands car on 3 seperate incidents the first time they removed the after market alarm and said that caused the second time they removed another part the 3rd time 2 years later they stated it was a different part when I found the following online Dodge Nitro problem 26 reports me too model years affected: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 average mileage: 67,977 mi (41,000 mi - 107,232 mi) verified the anti-theft system may cause a no start condition due to electrostatic discharge (esd) affecting the wireless control module (wcm). There is an updated wcm to correct this issue. When I asked about it the dealer told me not to believe blogs and if I had an issue contact Dodge when I contacted Dodge and asked if this was a known issue I was told they could not help and to ask the dealer. If this is a know problem why does the consumer have to pay to fix this issue last time it was 446. 71.
