Owners/service Manual Problems of Dodge Nitro

After parking car any where and locking doors with fob or manually the locks will unlock themselves within seconds to hours multiple times causing battery to deplete. Replaced batteies in fobs and car-didn't correct problem. This is a safety issue not being able to keep doors locked.

The power door locks quit working with the key fob or manually pressing the switch . Lights flash like it is working. Have to lock the car by pushing the manual lock plunger for the back doors and the passenger door. This is a safety problem because I was driving and had the child safety locks on and had to stop and quickly get the children out but couldn't open the doors without climbing into the back seat and pulling up the lock plungers.

Thismay be the resistor but can't look into thisbecause car sont start or do anything!!!!!.

My car will not lock. About a year ago the "lock-unlock key" stopped working and no one could figure out what was wrong with it. Since then I've had to manually use the key to unlock the driver door and then manually use the door lock/unlock button for the rest of the doors. Last month (March 2015), the locks completely stopped working. After 2 days the unlock button on both the driver and passenger sides starting working, but the lock button is completely non-functional. I have to manually lock every door to keep my car somewhat secure, however my trunk is now stuck unlocked with no way to lock it. I have brought my car to 3 mechanics and none of them can figure out the problem. After doing some research it seems many people are having this same problem.

Two years ago my locks just stopped locking and unlocking. My windshield wiper fluid also stopped working. This presents a safety problem because on this vehicle there is only a manual key lock on the drivers side door. There is no way to lock the hatchback either. Anyone can have access to my vehicle at any time. When I'm driving if there is a dust storm I have no way to clean the windshield as the fluid does not dispense. I have contacted Dodge and they want me to pay to have it evaluated. I understand from a Dodge forum website that this is a common problem in the 2008 and Dodge does not want to take responsibility.
