On 3/21/18 I was driving through a major intersection when the battery dash light came on in my truck. I found this to be odd since I had just had a brand-new battery installed on in my truck on 1/8/18, then the following events occurred in rapid succession: all of the dash warning lights came on, the A/C which was on at the time and blowing very cold air, began blowing hot air, I attempted to roll down the electric powered windows and they would not work; the windshield wipers came on without prompting.

I quickly decided to turn around and go back home since I was a short distance away. I decided to take a route through a residential neighborhood since I was unsure what would happen next and thought it would be best not to be on a major roadway if anything further occurred. I made a left into the residential neighborhood and noticed my truck was moving very sluggish and making a weird noise. I was approaching a stop sign up ahead; however, before I could apply the brakes my truck just cut off. I quickly put the gear in park and attempted to turn on my hazard light for oncoming traffic to go around me but I realized at this point my truck had absolutely no power. A gentleman on a bicycle stopped to assist me and we decided it would be best if he pushed my truck around the corner I was stalled at, to keep from obstructing oncoming traffic. He instructed me to put the truck in neutral but I was unable to do so, I could not turn the car on nor could I move it out of park gear.

The street I was stopped on is a major road for entering and exiting the neighborhood that I was attempting to pass through to get home. The street I was on is a major road for entering and exiting the neighborhood that I was attempting to pass through to get home. I stood at the back of my truck and directed traffic to go around me, I called AAA for a tow, when the driver arrived he attempted to jump the battery but it would not turn on or over. He had to slide under my truck to disconnect something in order to place the truck in neutral to get it on the tow truck.

I have not had any work or diagnostics performed on my truck as I am recently unemployed and do not have the funds to pay for the costs associated with either. However, I have conducted research online and discovered a multitude of reviews, blogs, news stories and feedback from others who experienced the same issues which appear to be associated with the TIPM’s (Totally Integrated Power Module known as a faulty manufacturers issue.

Not long after I purchased my Nitro I have had many electrical issues with it that no one can tie to a specific problem. My wiper blades randomly come on without touching the switch. More often as soon as I start the truck they just start running. After some time I figured out that when this happens, I turn them all the way on high and then turn them off and it stops. This also happens sometimes when I run over small bumps in the road. No one can diagnose this issue and I have taken in into various places. No one can figure out why they are doing that, so I just deal with it.
