AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON A WEEK AGO AND WONT GO OFF. VERY NERVE WRACKING. IF I FILL GAS TANK GAS COMES BACK OUT OF TANK ALL OVER ME AND TRUCK. KEY FOB STOPPED WORKING SETTING OFF ENGINE IMMOBILIZER COSTING ME $207 FOR A NEW KEY BECAUSE THE ONE THAT CAME WITH TRUCK COULD NOT BE JUST REPROGRAMMED. I LOVE MY TRUCK, BUT IT IS BECOMING ONE THING AFTER THE OTHER AND AS A SINGLE DISABLED MOM OF AN 8 YEAR OLD, I CANT AFFORD THIS MONEY PIT. ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT MY LOAN COSTS ME EVERY MONTH. I SERIOUSLY THING CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROBLEMS IN THEIR VEHICLES ESPECIALLY SINCE I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES. I CAN SAY I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. WE LITTLE PEOPLE PAY MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR THESE VEHICLES, TO JUST HAVE TO TURN AROUND AND INVEST THOUSANDS MORE. I WOULD NOT COMPLAIN IF IT WAS JUST MINE, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AND SEE ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES, THEN ITS TIME TO COMPLAIN BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT JUST MINE AND NOT JUST BECAUSE ITS AN OLDER VEHICLE WHICH I HAD THOUGHT TIL I SAW THE OTHER COMPLAINTS!!!!!!!!!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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).
