problem #3

Jun 172014

Nitro 4x4 V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 84,000 miles

Was driving home from work going 55mph down the road and all of a sudden the horn started blowing, front and back wipers came on including the water spraying out, doors were locking and unlocking, scared the crap out of me. Was almost in a accident had to pull off the road. Sat there for about 5 minutes. I shut off the engine and pulled out the key and everything was still blowing etc. Started the engine and it was still doing the same thing. Finally, it stopped. I sat another 5 or 10 minites. then stated it up and it was fine. When I got home I took off the battery cable to reset my Nitro. This is just the beginning of my nightmare.. A week later.....

the horn would start honking in the middle of the night while I was asleep. I was sure the neighbor thought I was doing it on purpose. then it started doing it while I was driving it. people looked at me like I was nuts.
