“The car horn honks non-stop for hours sometimes... Then nothing for a week or two. Almost had an accident when this horn went off. I read read that many 2007 Dodge Nitro's have this problem!! They say it could be the horn switch or tipm module (totally integrated power module). Started months ago but stopped, as of 11/01/19 it is happening often and I have to disconnect the battery. I heard it could start fire!!”

“While driving on the highway at speeds of 70mph my vehicle threw itself into 2nd gear and has been stuck in this position for over the last couple days.

I am having to order the part and get it replaced. I was driving with my 2 year old son in my vehicle I thank god that nothing worse happened.”
