What owners wrote
On 5/11/10 my 2008 dodge nitro crashed into a light pole in a parking lot service lane. I was driving when the vehicle started acting like it was going to shut off. It continued intermittently and when I turned to get out of the service lane the steering wheel would not move. As a result of my not being able to control the vehicle it crashed causing severe injuries to me .
The total integrated power module has gone, car won't run, anti-theft alarm won't stop going off. The car is stationary, only way to stop alarm was to unhook battery cables. Lights flashing, windshield wipes going, windshield fluid pouring out, horn blurring, this has happened 6 time, now car won't start, but the anti-theft alarm keeps going
