We have had three instances of our 2007 Nitro dying while on the road, fortunately we were able to get it off the road. we took it to the local Dodge dealer in 2015 on a drive shaft Recall and after getting it fixed asked dealer to check Electrical recall, dealer said that recall had been fixed in 2009. In 2016 my wife had one stall on the road in the Nitro and then we went to the dealer again and reported the stalling but they did nothing to correct the Electrical Problem, saying it had already been handled. I told them the recall of Electrical problem was far from fixed because on the way home from the dealership, the Nitro acted up and when we got home, It died. I charged the battery that had been drawn down by something and could only be started by Fully charging the battery. The Dealership let us leave the dealership in a defective dodge Nitro and have not contacted us since. Holy Toledo!
