2007 Dodge Nitro 4x4

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME THAT WE FILL THE TANK. WHEN THE GAS IS FILLED, THE NOZZLE IS FULLY INSERTED IN THE TANK AND WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT-OFF SPILLING GAS EVERYWHERE UNTIL I MANUALLY STOP THE NOZZLE.

PASSENGER SIDE WIPER DOES NOT WORK

DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR WON’T LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH REMOTE OR BY BUTTONS IN THE CAR. IT HAS TO BE DONE BY HAND.

TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO. DOOR LOCKS IN OPERABLE, NEITHER FOB NOR BUTTON WORKS, KEYFOB LOCKS BUT NOT UNLOCK VEHICLE NOT DIAGNOSED NEITHER DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER CONTACTED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE, THE KEYFOB FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEYFOB WILL LOCK THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, HAS FAILED IN EVERY ATTEMPT TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE INTERNAL LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTONS WERE ALSO INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. AH

REFUELING SPILLAGE DODGE NITRO R/T WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL OVERFLOWS UP THRU THE FILLER NECK AND ONTO THE PERSON WHO IS REFUELING THE SUV, THUS CAUSING IT TO SPILL OVER THE PAINT OF THE CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 30 - 50OZ OF GAS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS OCCURS ABOUT 70% OF THE TIME THE NITRO IS FUELED UP. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO A RECALL I HAD ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO. BELOW ARE THE ISSUES NOTED BY OTHER DODGE NITRO OWNERS ON THE NITRO FORUMS WEBSITE.

WIPER FLUID SHOOTS OUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON THE ALARM GOES OFF AND CAR SHUTS OFF DOES ALL THIS AT ONCE.

TAKATA RECALL THE RADIO CIGARETTE PORT AND WIPER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING

HORN HONKS WHENEVER IT WANTS. ABS, ESP/BAS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. ABS ESP/BAS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WERE INTERMITTENT BUT NOW ARE CONSISTENT. ENGINE CODE COMES AND GOES AND SAYS IT CANT COMMUNICATE WITH TIPM. OCCASIONALLY WHEN PARKING AND PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS NO POWER STEERING/ RUNS ROUGH WHILE TURNING SHARPLY BUT THERE IS NO LEAK IN POWER STEERING AND IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM.

HORN GOES OFF ON IT OWN, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. STARTS WON'T START, BATTERY IS NOT DEAD. DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN. PASSENGER DOOR CONTROLS THE DRIVE SETTING FOR LOCKING AND UNLOCKING CAR, SHUTTING RADIO OFF. THE DRIVE DOOR WILL LOCK AND NOT LET YOU OUT, EVEN TRYING TO PULL IT UP MANUAL AND IT WON'T LET YOU. HAVE TO USE KEY IN DOOR TO UNLOCK AND QUICKLY OPEN BEFORE IT LOCKS AGAIN. IN AN ACCIDENT THIS COULD BE A BIG PROBLEM.

LOCKS QUIT WORKING THE FOB WILL ONLY UNLOCK THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. ALL OTHER DOORS HAVE TO BE DONE MANUALLY AND I CAN'T OPEN THE BACK HATCH BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLACE TO PUT IN A KEY AND UNLOCK IT.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF AND VEHICLE WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT TO CAUSE THIS OCCURANCE! MY SON AND FIANC WERE JUST N A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT IN MY FIANC'S CHEVY AVALANCHE THAT CAUSED THE TRUCK TO ROLL AND OUR FRIEND, PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE, TO BEN KILLED. NOW MY SPECIAL NEEDS 10YEAR OLD WON'T GET IN THIS NEW CAR BECAUSE BABY HE'S AFRAID SINCE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON IT WILL CAUSE US TO GET INTO A VEHICLE. I NEED A SOLID RESOLUTION TO THIS ASAP! I JUST FINALLY GOT HIM TO RIDE IN A VEHICLE AGAIN!

HORN HONKS RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES BLARING, WHEN I PRESS IT DOESN'T WORK. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING AND WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING. I FOUND SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM FROM CHRYSLER WITH THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULES (TIPMS).

SO WHY DRIVING THIS 07 NITRO IMEDITALY YOU GET A CHIME FROM THE AIRBAG LIGHT IT VERY SCARY KNOWING THAT YOU GET IN ACCIDENT AND LOOSE YOUR LIFE THINKING AIR BAGS WONT DEPLOY DUE TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT NEVER GOING AWAY AND WHEN IT DOES NOT LONG AND IT RIGHT BACK ONI FEEL THIS BE A RECALL ONLY BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH ANY VEHICLE OUT IN THE WORLD

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT OUT UNEXPECTEDLY, CV AXEL BOOT TORE, TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD

ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONER IS NOT WORKING IN THE DASH ALL THE LIGHT IS ON SAY IS NOT BUS

THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT ESP/BAS, ESP/TCS, ABS, AND AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE (NO FLASHING) WITH LOSS OF CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOTABLE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING OCCURS WHEN ALL LIGHTS TURN OFF! WITH NO WARNING MALFUNCTION LIGHTS, THE ENGINE MISFIRES AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 55MPH, BREAKS LOCK UP WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BREAK AT ANY SPEED (EVEN COASTING W/DRY ROAD CONDITIONS, AND THERE WILL BE COMPLETE LOSS OF CRUISE CONTROL FX. WHEN THE LIGHTS TURN BACK ON, THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONS PROPERLY W/NO MISFIRING OR BREAKING ISSUES. WHHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED, CRUISE CONTROL WOULD WORK AT THIS TIME ALSO, UNTIL THAT FUNCTION COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AFTER A FEW INSTANCES AS STATED. IN ADDITION, THE HORN STOPPED SOUNDING, RADIO RANDOMLY TURNS ON WHEN CAR DOOR IS OPENED W/3 BUTTON KEY FOB (NO ENGINE STARTER), RADIO/DISC PLAYER FREEZES INTERMITTENTLY WITH LOSS OF FUNCTION/ABILITY TO CHANGE ANYTHING BESIDES TURNING ON OR OFF. BREAK ILLUMINATION LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY TURNS ON, THEN WILL TURN OFF (NO E BREAK BEING ACTIVATED). WHEN WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON, NO CAR DEALERSHIP OR SERVICE IS ABLE TO OBTAIN CODES AND ADAMANTLY STATE THIS IS NOT OKAY/NORMAL FOR ANY VEHICLE TO BE HAVING THESE SERIOUS ISSUES W/NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATING AND FOR VEHICLE TO IMPROVE WHEN WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON. MORE SO, THAT THE SYSTEMS LARGE AMOUNT OF ERRATIC INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONING IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD!! CURRENTLY NO RECALLS FOR VIN # BUT 2007 NITROS HAVE RECALLS-MY VEHICLE IS EXPE

WIPERS WILL NOT SPRAY FLUID.

CAR CUT OFF DRIVING DOWN THE STREET TAKING MY KID TO SCHOOL. HAD IT TOWED TO FIND OUT ITS A SHORT IN THE TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) WHICH IS BASICALLY THE BRAINS OF THE CAR. ALL ITS FUNCTIONS RUN THIS THIS OVERLY POORLY THOUGHT OUT COMPUTER. REPAIRS WILL RUN ABOUT 1,200. THE RECALLS FOR THIS PETITION HAS BEEN DECLINED. REAL CLASSY DODGE. I REFUSE TO PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS ANYMORE.

MY LOW BEAMS STOPPED WORKING, IT IS NOT THE BULBS. HIGH BEAMS WORK AND SO DO THE FOG LIGHTS, JUST NOT THE LOW BEAMS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AT NIGHT.

FAILURE OF DRIVE TRAIN AND TRANSMISSION AT 94,000 MILES. AUTHORIZED DODGE DEALER SHOP IS SAYING $13,000 TO FIX.

MY NITRO HAS ENGINE LIGHT ON , MY TIRE SENSOR SHOWS THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY TIRE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR , AIRBAG LIGHT ON . VERY SCARY TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON . THIS CAR HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS SINCE DAY ONE. WINDOW PANEL DON'T WORK , PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE CAR BREAK . AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATER DON'T WORK . CAR TURNS OFF BY ITSELF . READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINT ONLINE ABOUT THIS CAR AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE . 2007 NITRO SHOULD BE BAND IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4. WHILE DRIVING ON A RAINY DAY AT 55 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO WORK AND MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED NOR MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TAKATA RECALL THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM WITH WIPER AND THERE STUFF GOING WRONG FROM C7 AREA OF THE TIPM ON 07 DODGE NITRO SLT

TAKATA RECALL - THE NITRO WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN THE WHITE PLASTIC STRIP CAME STICKING OUT OF MY STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. BEFORE THE WHITE PLASTIC STRIP CAME STICKING OUT BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL, IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS RUBBING OR GRINDING EVERY TIME I WOULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE EBS/BAS LIGHT AND THE SLIPPERY WHEN WET LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. NOW THE NITRO WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT WON'T START AND IT WILL CLICK ONE TIME ALONG WITH THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS COMING ON AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL TURN ON AUTOMATICALLY. COULD THIS BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE DOORS FAILED TO PROPERLY LOCK AND UNLOCK WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UDATED 10/26/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED DOORS WILL LOCK MANUALLY, BUT NOT ABLE TO LOCK THE REAR HATCH. *TR

VEHICLE HAS A NEW TRANSMISSIO NOW.FUEL BACKFIRES OUT THE TANK EVERYTIME I GO TO FILL UP THE TANK.THEN,MY INSURANCE GAVE ME A RECALL LIST TO HAVE IT TAKEN IN.TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS OF TIMES AND SAME PROBLEM OCCURS AND THEY SAY IN THEY'RE DATABASE ITS NOT SHOWING ANYTHING ON MY VIN NUMBER.AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF ALLDAY.CAR BEATS AND AIRBAG LIGHT BLINKS ON AND OFF AND IS VERY ANNOYING.A/C COMPRESSOR IS NOW OUT AND WORKING ON GETTING IT REPLACED BUT OTHER THAN THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING PERFECT.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH OUR DOOR LOCKS ALONG WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. WE TOOK IT TO DODGE DEALERSHIP AND PAID $150 TO GET IT DIAGNOSED. WE WERE TOLD THE TIPM MODULE IS NOT PROPERLY WORKING. THE COST WOULD BE $965.90, WHEN DOING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY DODGE NITRO OWNERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE IF NOT WORSE THAN WHAT WE ARE HAVING. THIS IS THE MAIN COMMAND CENTER FOR ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS THAT WHEN NOT PROPERLY WORKING IS AN EXTREME DANGER TO THE PASSENGERS. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP US. SO YOU MAKE A PART IN A CAR THAT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO ITS PASSENGERS AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME? WITH THIS MODULE BEING OUT YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF RIDING A BIKE TO WORK THAN DRIVING IN THIS VEHICLE!

MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. IT WOULD NOT START OR ROLL UP THE WINDOWS BUT AT TIMES IT WOULD BLOW THE HORN AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD TURN ON BUT CAR WOULD NOT START. THIS WAS AFTER I DROVE IT HOME AND TURNED IT OFF. ALSO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO CHARGED ME $1200 TO REPLACE MY TIPM.

WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE SWITCHED FROM LOW TO HIGH BEAM OR HIGH TO LOW BEAM , ONE HEADLIGHT GOES OFF TEMPORARILY. IT CAN LAST SECONDS OR DAYS.

LOWER TRACK BAR REAR IS A BOX TUBE WITH WELDED EYELET AT EACH END . THEY RUST AND BREAK AND CAN FALL DOWN TO ROAD SURFACE WHICH COULD CASE ACCIDENTS

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF. NO LIGHTS ON DASH OR WARNING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. AFTER GETTING IT STOPPED AND RESTARTING IT WILL DRIVE FINE. OTHER TIMES THE REMOTE WILL NOT WORK THE LOCKS, IT WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEM SELVES AFTER YOU OPEN THE DOOR AND TRY TO START VEHICLE . YOU CAN PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT WILL NOT START LIGHTS ON DASH WILL GO OFF AND ON AND AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS IT WILL START. THERE ARE TIMES YOU CAN NOT PUT IN IN PARK YOU CAN SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT PRESS BRAKE PEDAL AND NOTHING WORKS TO PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN IT WILL JUST GO IN PARK LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPEN UP ON OCCASIONS WITH NO WARNING. IT ALL WILL WORK FINE FOR WEEKS OR MONTHS AND THEN IT WILL ACT UP AGAIN. THE HEATER DOES NOT BLOW HOT AIR ON ONE SIDE, EVERY YEAR YOU CAN FLUSH OUT HEATER HOSE AND RADIATOR AND IT WILL BLOW HOT AIR FOR A MONTH OR SO AND THEN IT WILL GO BACK TO ONLY BLOWING WARM AIR OUT ON ONE SIDE. NO CODES ARE EVER THROWN WHEN THE THINGS HAPPEN. THERE IS NEVER A WARNING AND WHEN YOU TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP OR A MECHANIC THEY CAN NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.

TAKATA RECALL I LEASED MY DODGE NITRO IN 2007 AND DECIDED TO BUY IT OUT DUE TO OVER MILEAGE ALLOWANCE. ISSUES WITH THIS CAR STARTED SLOWLY AND ESCALATED OVER TIME. MY TIRES LOST AIR CONSTANTLY. NEW TIRES DIDN'T HELP. WINTER I HAVE TO PUT AIR IN ALL TIRES ONCE A WEEK. POSSIBLY DUE TO RIMS. WHEN BACKING UP THIS VEHICLE WOULD JOLT OUT ON ITS OWN NOT GIVING ME ENOUGH TIME TO REACT TO HITTING SOMETHING OR SOMEONE. THE ENGINE WAS SPORADIC WITH THE WAY IT HANDLED POWER AND ADMINISTERING IT THROUGHOUT FUNCTIONS. CONSTANT LEAKING OF FLUIDS. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH POWER LOSS WAS GETTING ONTO HIGHWAY, SPED UP LOSING POWER AND LUCKILY ABLE TO REACH THE BREAK DOWN LANE SAFELY.AFTER SEVERAL TIMES THE DEALER TOOK IT IN AND SAID THEY FIXED IT. THEN TRUCK STARTED TO OVER HEAT AND ANTI FREEZE WOULD NOT STAY IN ENGINE AND OUT OF NO WHERE IT WOULD JUMP TO HOT,LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULL OVER ANYWHERE I COULD. AFTER 5 TIMES OR MORE HERB CHAMBERS COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY KEPT MY TRUCK FOR SEVERAL WEEKS FIXING MY HEAD GASKET , WATER PUMP AND 5 OTHER PARTS, THEY TOLD ME I WAS ALL SET TO GO. I DROVE OFF LOT 10 MINUTES UP THE HIGHWAY TO HAVE IT OVER HEAT LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AGAIN WITHOUT POWER BACK IT GOES TO REPLACE THE HEATING CORE ELEMENT. SIX MONTHS LATER I LOSE POWER AROUND A ROTARY, ON HIGHWAY AND IN A FEW PARKING LOTS.I DECIDE TO INVESTIGATE MY OPTIONS TO DISCOVER THERE IS A RECALL AND PURSUE THE DEALER ABOUT HOW UNSAFE THIS VEHICLE

WHETHER DRIVING, SITTING STILL, OR THE VEHICLE NOT BEING USED, THE HORN RANDOMLY BEEPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RELAY SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RELAY MODULE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONED AND ALL FOUR DOORS WOULD LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V438000 (VISIBILITY), WHICH STATED THAT THE RELAYS AND MODULES WOULD BE UPDATED AND REPAIRED. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE MODULE NOT ONLY NEEDED TO BE UPDATED BUT REPLACED AS WELL. THE DEALER DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE ONCE THE FAILURE RECURRED TO IDENTIFY ANY FURTHER REPAIRS. THE REPAIR WAS NOT COMPLETED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG ATTACHED TO THE STEERING WHEEL JUST FELL OFF AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. LUCKILY IT DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT SHE WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT JUST FELL OFF AS SHE WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN FROM THE CITY STREET. DANBURY DODGE REFUSES TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG SAYING IT IS OUT OF ITS WARRANTY PERIOD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE POWER LOCK FAILED TO FUNCTION WHEN ATTEMPTED REMOTELY OR MANUALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

THE INSIDE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE BROKE. THE NEW REPLACEMENT HANDLE BROKE. I HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN TO OPEN MY DOOR. IF I EVER GET IN AN ACCIDENT I WILL BE TRAPPED.

EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK THE PUMP AT THE GAS STATION SHUTS OFF BUT I HAVE FUEL THAT BURPS BACK OUT. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND ABOUT THESE CARS IS THAT THERE IS A FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE ON THE GAS TANK TO PREVENT FIRES/EXPLOSIONS IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT THAT IS DEFECTIVE. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS CAUSES ME CONCERN FOR MY AND OTHERS SAFTEY. I WOULD LIKE CHRYSLER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF POCKET AS THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS.

HORN STARTS BLOWING FOR NO REASON REGARDLESS OF IT RUNNING OR PARKED. HAZARD FLASHERS ACTIVATING FOR NO REASON. ANTILOCK BRAKE LIGHT FLASHING, LIMITED SLIP LIGHTS FLASHING. HEADLIGHTS FLASHING OFF AND ON

2007 DODGE NITRO SLT - CAR SITTING IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT THE VEHICLE LISTED, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WILL GO INTO A STATE WHERE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE CAUSES MULTIPLE ODD THINGS TO SIMULTANEOUSLY HAPPEN: LOUD CLICKING NOISES CAN BE HEARD FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT HEADLIGHTS / TAIL LIGHTS FLASH WIPERS START AND STOP RANDOMLY ALL DASH LIGHTS RANDOMLY TURN ON AND OFF RADIO CLOCK IS RESET TO 12:00 AS IF THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED RADIO SOMETIMES RANDOMLY TURNS ON/OFF FUEL PUMP CAN BE HEARD STARTING AND STOPPING, SOMETIMES WILL NOT STOP SOMETIMES PUTTING A BATTERY CHARGER ON THE CAR'S BATTERY WILL MAKE IT START. SOMETIMES IT ONLY MAKES THE CLICKING LOUDER, ALONG WITH RANDOM OTHER EVENTS LISTED ABOVE. SOMETIMES THE ONLY THING THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM IS A THUMP WITH A SMALL RUBBER MALLET TO THE BLACK BOX JUST TO THE REAR OF THE MAIN 12 VOLT BATTERY. THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN IN COLDER WEATHER, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO HAPPENING DURING COLD WEATHER. SOMETIMES, JUST UNLOCKING THE CAR DOORS WITH THE DODGE KEY FOB WILL CAUSE SOME ISSUES TO HAPPEN. SOMETIMES THE ISSUES ARE FOLLOWED UP WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, BUT WHEN CODES ARE PULLED THEY ARE INVALID CODES (CODES CHECKED AT DEALER).

WHEN DRIVING, OVER THE PAST YEAR, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. I HAVE BEEN IN AN AREA THAT I CAN STOP AND RESTART BUT THE STEERING IS LOCKED UP SO I CAN'T MOVE THE VEHICLE. I AM VERY SCARED THAT IT WILL DO IT WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AND I WILL BE HIT AT HIGH SPEED ON THE FREEWAY.

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE, PRESSURE USED TO OPEN DOOR NOT MUCH, ONLY WHAT IS NEEDED TO TRIP THE LATCH AND OPEN. HAD TO LOWER WINDOW AND USE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE TO GET OUT, REMOVED PANEL FROM FRONT AND BACK DOORS, MOVED THE REAR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE TO THE FRONT FOR A QUICK TEMPORARY FIX, WAITING FOR THAT TO BREAK ALSO. THE COMPLAINT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ADDRESSED OR FIXED BY DODGE... BUT YOU CAN BUY A $40+ HANDLE FROM THEM, THE SAME KIND THAT HAS THE CHANCE TO BREAK AGAIN. YOU CAN SEE THIS BY JUST LOOKING ON DODGES FORUMS FOR THIS EXACT COMPLAINT - WITH NO RESOLVE

APPROX. THE WEEK OF JUNE 9,2015, THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, ANTI SKID LIGHT ETC. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO LOCAL AUTO SHOP,THEY ORDERED THE COMPUTER MODULE AND THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO SYNC. THEY TOOK TO DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO PROGRAM. WHEN I PICKED UP, LIGHTS ON DASH STILL ALL ON. AUTO SHOP SPOKE WITH DODGE AND PERSON WHO PROGRAMMED SAID THEY PROGRAMMED THE MODULE, BUT SOMETHING ELSE WAS CAUSING DASH TO LIGHT UP. AUTO SHOP TELLS ME, I HAVE TO BUY A 2ND MODULE. AFTER A WEEKS TIME OF NOT HAVING A VEHICLE AND DODGE TRYING TO ADDRESS, THEY REALIZE THE 1ST MODULE WAS FAULTY SO THEY ORDERED A NEW ONE. VEHICLE THEN DROVE FINE AFTER INSTALLATION, BUT AS OF FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2015. AS I WAS CROSSING A MAJOR LIGHT INTERSECTION, 3/4 WAY ACROSS THE NITRO DIES OUT ON ME AND THE DASH LIGHT ANTI SKID COMES ON, I COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I WAS FORTUNATE THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE PAYING ATTENTION OTHERWISE I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED! I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, RESTART THE CAR AND IT TURNS ON FINE, NO LIGHTS ON DASH. I CONTINUE TO HEAD HOME AND UPON THE TURN INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD ( A SLOW TURN), THE NITRO DIES ON ME AGAIN AND THE SAME ANTI SKID LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. ROAD IS DRY WEATHER IS CLEAR. I PULL OFF TO SHOULDER ON ROAD AND REPEAT THE PUT INTO PARK AND START ENGINE. I GET HOME AND CALLED DODGE AND EXPLAINED SITUATION. THEY SEE IN VEHICLE RECORD THAT THEY DID REPLACE THE COMPUTER MODULE. DODGE IS TAKING IN MY NITRO TO SERVICE ON TUES. JULY 28,2015. THERE HAS GOT TO BE

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING SINCE THEN AND CHIMES EVERY FEW MINUTES.

STOPPED FOR GAS, AFTER FILLING UP VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. NO LIGHTS, NO SOUND OF ANY KIND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN.THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DODGE DEALER WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE STARTER BUT I'M SURE IT WAS THE TOTAL POWER INTERFACE MODULE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED TO START AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE DOORS FAILED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

THE VEHICLE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WONT TURN OFF AND TURN ON, AND TURN ON BY THEMSELVES WHEN YOU USE THE TURN SIGNAL, OR THE WIPERS DO NOT WORK AT ALL. WHENEVER THIS RANDOM SITUATION OCCURS THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO NOT START. THE STARTER TURNS BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT KICK OVER. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF AT 25,000 MILES AND THE DRIVERS SIDE CONTROLS FOR THE WINDOWS AND LOCKS OPERATES AT ABOUT 25% FUNCTIONALITY.

CONFUSED WITH DIFFERENT INFORMATION REGARDING REPLACEMENT / REPAIR OF THE DRIVESHAFT OR BOOT. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS CORRECT... REPLACE THE WHOLE DRIVESHAFT REPLACE JUST THE BOOT ONE MECHANIC SAYS THE SHAFT THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IS FROM THE TRANSFER CASE TO THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL IS THIS A AFTER MARKET PART OR DEALERSHIP PART? CONCERNED - RECALL DRIVESHAFT ISSUES WITH 4X2 2007 NITRO - WHY WOULD 4X4 AND 4X2 HAVE DRIVESHAFT ISSUES BUT RECALL ON THE 4X2 ONLY. *TR

ON FEBRUARY 26, 2015. WHILE DRIVING ON THE 605 NORTH IN THE #2 LANE. I NOTICED MY CAR TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT STRAIGHT TO HOT. I SLOWED DOWN AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND PROCEEDED TO GET TO THE SHOULDER BY SAFELY PASSING INTO THE NEXT LANES WHILE OTHER CARS WERE TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEED LIMITS. ONCE ON SHOULDER SHUT OFF CAR AND KEPT HAZARDS ON. AND SAT IN MY CAR APPROX 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. I NOTICED IT DID NOT IMMEDIATELY GO TO HOT, STILL DRIVING IN THE SHOULDER WITH HAZARDS ON FOR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AT A SLOW SPEED PROCEEDED TO NEAREST OFF RAMP AND EXITED. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT A LOWER RATE THAN THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE STARTED TO GO TO HOT AGAIN I REACHED THE CAR REPAIR SHOP I HAD BEEN TO BEFORE WHICH WAS 2 MILES FROM THE OFF RAMP. I PULLED INTO THE CAR REPAIR SHOP AROUND 5:00 PM. I STATED TO THE RECEPTIONIST THAT MY CAR WAS OVERHEATING. THE NEXT DAY AFTER DIAGNOSTIC TESTS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE WATER PUMP HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PREVIOUSLY ON 3/14/2014 ANOTHER WATER PUMP FAILED AND WAS INSTALLED BY THE DEALER GLENN THOMAS DODGE. IN REVIEWING THE CAR'S RECORDS WITH DODGE CORPORATION DURING WARRANTY THERE WAS ANOTHER WATER PUMP WHICH FAILED AND WAS REPLACED IN 2011 BY GLENN THOMAS DODGE. THIS HAS MADE THREE (3) TIMES THAT THE WATER PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED IN MY DODGE NITRO 4X4 2007.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB, THE LOCKS FAILED TO DISENGAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAD TO BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED WITH THE KEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MASTER UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILED AND ALL OF THE DOORS HAD TO BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED FROM INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE LIFTGATE NOT TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V438000 (VISIBILITY). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,200.
