2007 DODGE NITRO Complaints

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.

THE CAR WITH LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS BY ITSELF AND FLASH LIGHTS ON AND OFF, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE INOPERABLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS DURING DRIVING AND WHEN PARKING. WE WERE ALREADY TOLD THE CONTROLMODULE NEEDS REPLACING BUT BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A 4X4 IT IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. THEN THE BRAKES STOP BUT NOT FULLY AND WILL CAUSE A SLIDE BACKWARDS IF NOT HELD DOWN WHILE IN MOTION, ON AN INCLINE, ON STREET OR RAMP. THE THROTTLE LIGHT AND THE ANTILOCK BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, WHILE TURNING, ON STREETAND HIGHWAY, CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL IN TRAFFIC, WHILE MOVING WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENEDED A COUPLE OF TIMES. WE SEE SEVERAL RECALLS THAT WOULD RELATE TO OUR PROBLEM BUT ALL HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED FOR THE 4X4.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO. WHILE IN PARK, THE REAR AND FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLES FRACTURED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,750.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR HATCH DOOR LOCK FAILED TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHEN PARKED, THE 3 PASSENGER DOORS AND HATCH WILL LOCK BUT NOT UNLOCK. THE ONLY DOOR THAT WORKS PROPERLY (MOST OF THE TIME) IS THE DRIVERS DOOR. CAN'T USE THE KEY ALONE TO UNLOCK DOORS BECAUSE THERE IS NO KEYHOLE EXCEPT THE DRIVERS DOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO 4X2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOORS AND REAR HATCH WOULD NOT UNLOCK UNLESS THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE DETAILS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC COULD NOT BE PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,100.

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!

ELECTRONIC WINDOW SWITCH KEEPS GOING OUT, AND THE TIPM LIGHT KEEPS COMIING ON. WHEN I DRIVING DOWN THE STREET THE TIPM LIGHT STAYS ON DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS, I THOUHGT IT MEANT MY TIRES, SO I PURCHASED NEW TIRES, STILL COMES ON AND NOW MY WINDOW WANT ROLL UP BECAUSE OF THIS MODULE

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.

THE GAS TANK DOESN'T STOP THE PUMP WHEN IT'S FULL RESULTING IN GAS OVERFLOWING EVERYWHERE.
