2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4 Complaints

WHEN FILLING TANK WITH GAS, FUEL WILL SPEW BACK OUT SPLASHING ALL OVER PERSON, GROUND AND SURROUNDINGS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN FUELING IS COMPLETE AND YOU ARE REMOVING THE NOZZLE AFTER THE NOZZLE IS SHUT OFF.. THE BACK SPLASHIS SO VIOLENT, GAS WILL SPLASH INTO YOUR EYES. *TR

DOOR LOCKS HAVE RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING. THE KEY FOB AND INTERIOR BUTTONS WILL UNLOCK ALL DOORS AND TRUNK BUT RANDOMLY WILL NOT LOCK. WHEN USING THE KEY FOB, THE HORN BEEPS AND HEADLIGHTS FLASH BUT THE DOORS DO NOT ACTUALLY LOCK. AT TIMES THE DOORS STILL DO NOT LOCK EVEN AFTER DRIVING AT 15MPH, WHEN THEY NORMALLY WOULD LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CHARGED ME $100 TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, WHICH SHOWED SOME TYPE OF TRIPPED SENSOR (I THINK RELATED TO THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM OR TRANSMISSION RELATED) AND AN ERROR RELATED TO THE TIPM. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TIPM AND SAID IF THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAY $700 TO REPLACE THE TIPM. THE PROBLEM WITH THE LOCKS SEEMED TO BE FIXED, BUT ONLY LASTED ABOUT 30 DAYS. ALTHOUGH I CAN MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR, I HAVE NO WAY OF LOCKING THE TRUNK AREA AND THE BACK DOORS ARE HARD TO MANUALLY LOCK UNLESS YOU PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN. I THINK HAVING AN UNLOCKED VEHICLE IS UNSAFE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WORK 12 HOUR SHIFTS THAT START WHEN IT'S DARK IN THE AM AND END WHEN IT'S DARK IN THE PM. I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES A COUPLE TIMES WHERE IT FEELS LIKE I'M HYDROPLANING, SORT OF LIKE THERE IS A DELAY IN THE BRAKES GRABBING, BUT THE ROAD WAS COMPLETELY DRY AT THE TIME. THIS ALSO SEEMED TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY 2 OR 3 TIMES, THEN STOPPED. NOT SURE IF SOMETHING DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST CORRECTED THIS. *TR

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. AND THE LAST TIME WAS BACK IN NOVEMBER 2014. WHILE I AM DRIVING MY VEHICLE STALLS, MY BRAKES LOCK UP AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOOSES POWER WITH THE REST OF MY CAR EXCEPT MY RADIO. THIS IS EXTREMELY SCARY BECAUSE I AM PUTTING MY LIFE AND OTHERS IN DANGER. AND CHRYSLER SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON DIAGNOSTIC. BUT WHEN YOU PULL UP RECALLS AND DEFECTS. THE PROBLEM IS RIGHT THERE. WHEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS. I HAVE TO TURN OFF MY KEYS AND RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR IT TO WORK AGAIN. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS AND POWER WINDOWS FAILED TO WORK AND THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I JUST PURCHASED A 2007 DODGE NITRO WITH 57334 KMS. ON MY FIRST REFUELING I WAS ALMOST SOAKED IN GASOLINE BECAUSE OF WHAT I DETERMINED LATER AS A FACTORY FAULTY ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE GAS TANK. THE HOSE CLICKS OFF AS THE TANK IS FULL BUT THEN THE GASOLINE GUSHES OUT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE & GROUND. THE AMOUNT IS CONSIDERABLE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FIRE ISSUE. ON MY 2ND REFUELING WAS THE SAME THING & EACH ADDITIONAL FILL. HASN'T THERE BEEN ANY RECALLS OR FORCIBLE FIX TO GET THE MANUFACTURE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE? *TR

WAS COMING HOME FROM SHOPPING MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN CAR WAS STARTING T O SPRINKLE SO WENT TO TURN THEM ON AND NOTHING CAME ON RADIO ALSO QUIT WORKING CAME HOME IMM EDIATELY BE A Y SEE IF IT RAINED ANY HARDER WOULD BY BE ABLE TO SEE. *TR

MY NITRO WAS BROKE INTO AND THE ALARM DID NOT ALERT ME. NOW THE ALARM GOES OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND THE DOORS LOCKS AND UNLOCKS AND HORN CHIRPS AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT I HAD AN AFTER MARKET SUNROOF AND THAT WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE. BUT READING EVERYONE'S POST. THAT IS NOT TRUE! *TR

MY 2007 DODGE NITRO WOULDN'T CRANK. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE GPS, WELL I PAID TO GET THAT FIXED AND IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING.. SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SHOP WHOM TOLD ME IT WAS THE BATTERY.. OK I GOT THAT FIXED AND WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, THE HORN CONTINUOUSLY GOES OFF, SO DOES THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THE DOORS BEGAN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. SO I TOOK IT TO ONE FINAL SHOP AND THAT'S WHEN THEY TOLD ME ITS A PROBLEM WITH THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. I ASKED COULD THIS BE FIXED AND WAS TOLD ITS BEEN ON BACK ORDER. SO NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH MY VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING.. *TR

FIRST THE DRIVERS WINDOW FELL A LITTLE THEN THE DRIVERS DOOR MASTER POWER SWITCH STARTED SMOKING AND SMOLDERED SO MUCH THAT I HAD TO DRIVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE DODGE AND ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE SWITCH. THE CONNECTOR WAS MELTED AND WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE. RESTARTED VEHICLE TO GO TO DEALERSHIP AND THE SWITCH CAUGHT FIRE. AGAIN TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND PULLED THE SWITCH, IT WAS MELTED AND FELL APART. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE WIRES WERE BADLY MELTED FROM THE HEAT. TOOK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. *TR

MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THAT THE CAR UNLOCKS BY ITSELF, TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND DRAINING THE BATTERY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES RECENTLY AND IS VERY FRUSTRATING. *TR
