THE 2008 DODGE NITRO SLT'S ALARM RANDOMLY WENT OFF IN THE PARKING LOT AND WOULD NOT STOP EVEN AFTER ATTEMPTS TO TURN OFF THE ALARM WITH REMOTE KEY. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ALSO TURNED ON WHILE THE FLUID WAS CONSTANTLY SQUIRTING OUT. EVEN AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ALARM AND WIPERS WOULD NOT STOP. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME UNTIL ONE DAY WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPPED MAKING ANY TYPE OF SOUNDS (NO HONKING, NO ALARM). PROBLEM IS SAID TO BE CAUSED BY THE TIPM. LACK OF HONKING CAUSED NUMEROUS POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS BY FAILING TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS. I AM COMPLAINING SO THAT CHRYSLER ISSUES AN OVERDUE RECALL FOR THE TIPM AS NUMEROUS OTHER CONSUMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
