2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4 Complaints

I JUST BOUGHT MY NITRO BUT EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK IT WILL CLICK OFF AT THE NOZZLE BUT THEN I GET GAS SPEWING BACK OUT! IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE NOW AT TWO DIFFERENT PUMPS AT TWO DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. IT SCARED ME VERY MUCH AND IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD! MY NITRO IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY BUT I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE WITH HAVING THIS ISSUE. THE ONLY FIX I KNOW OF IS REPLACING THE GAS TANK AT MY EXPENSE. I FEEL AS THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND PREVALENT ISSUE DODGE SHOULD ADDRESS IT ASAP! *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE VEHICLE THE GAS OVERFLOWS ONTO THE CAR AND GAS STATION GROUND. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR A FIRE TO START. I AM WORRIED THAT IT WILL EAT THE PAINT OFF BY THE FILL UP AS WELL. *TR

TOOK CAR IN FOR REPAIRS IN REGARDS TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPER RECALL IN JANUARY 2013. TRUSTING THAT BERGERON DODGE TOOK CARE OF THE RECALLED ISSUE; I NEVER EXPECTED MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO STOP WORKING ALL TOGETHER. ON THE MORNING OF FRIDAY, MAY 3, DURING MY COMMUTE TO WORK, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING ON ALL PAUSE SETTINGS. SINCE IT WAS RAINING PROFUSELY THAT MORNING, THE HIGHER SETTING WAS OKAY TO USE. AS OF TODAY, I CANNOT DRIVE THE NITRO BECAUSE THE WIPERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER AND IS NOW A HAZARD TO DRIVE DURING THE RAIN. NOT ONLY DO I FEEL THE PROBLEM WAS NOT REPAIRED IN JANUARY, BUT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $50 TO LOOK AT THE WIPERS. I AM UTTERLY AND TOTALLY DISGUSTED, FOR THE SIMPLE FACT I HAD TO PAY $150 AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL FOR BERGERON DODGE TO INFORM ME ON THE PRICE TO FIX THE BRAKES, REPLACE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR (BROKE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY/TOLD BY DEALERSHIP PART WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY), AND REPAIR HEAT SHIELD THAT JUST FELL OFF IN JANUARY 2013; NOW I HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY NEVER REPAIRED A PART THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE REPAIRED. *TR

HAD TO MAKE A BANK DEPOSIT ON/AROUND THE EVENING OF 08/15/12. WHEN I LEFT MY HOME AND TURNED ON THE AIR CONDITIONER, I NOTICED THAT THE AIR WAS BLOWING COOL, BUT NOT COLD (ALTHOUGH THE TEMPERATURE WAS SET AT THE COLDEST SETTING). AT FIRST I DID NOT PUT MUCH THOUGHT INTO IT BECAUSE IT WAS A HOT AND MUGGY EVENING. TWO, THE BANK IS RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE AND FIGURED THE CAR HAD NO TIME TO COOL DOWN BEFORE REACHING THE BANK. NOT UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY WAS IT APPARENT THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS NO LONGER WORKING AND ONLY BLOWING WARM/HOT AIR. MY HUSBAND IS A HVAC TECHNICIAN AND WAS ABLE TO REFILL THE FREON FOR THE AIR CONDITION, BUT WHEN FILLING THE FREON HE NOTICED THE DEGREE WAS NOT GETTING COOLER. WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS TURNED ON; ALL THE FREON LEAKED OUT INTO THE NITRO. IT WAS SO BAD, I HAD TO PULL OVER AND ALLOW THE CAR TO AIR OUT BECAUSE THE FUMES WERE CHOKING US. FOR A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD, I FIND THIS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM HAS SUCH A MAJOR LEAK AS THIS ONE. *TR

WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED WITH NEAR 16,700 MILES. SINCE THE DAY WE PURCHASED IT, WE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS OVERFLOWING ON THE 2007 DODGE NITRO WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK. THIS IS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK THAT IS THERE TO PREVENT AN EXPLOSION IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. THE VALVE IS DEFECTIVE, AND THUS THE GAS SPILLS OUT, AND THIS VEHICLE COULD POSSIBLY EXPLODE IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AND THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT. BUT I ALSO READ THAT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I TRY TO DO MY BEST TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT BY LISTENING WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE, AND STOPPING THE PUMP BEFORE IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS NEAR THE TOP. BUT I DON'T ALWAYS CATCH IT IN TIME, AND GAS SPRAYS OUT ONTO THE CAR, MYSELF AND THE GROUND. NOT MUCH I CAN DO IF EVER INVOLVED IN A ROLL OVER THOUGH. *TR

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERYTIME I ALLOW THE PUMP NOZZLE AUTO STOP. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS WITH DIFFERENT PUMPS TO SEE IF IT MADE A DIFFERENCE. MADE NO DIFFERENCE, IT OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME. THE PUMP DOES KICK OFF AND STOP, BUT THE GAS COMES POURING OUT ABOUT A SECOND LATER. NOT ONLY IS THIS A PERSONAL HAZARD AS GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE, IT IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD WHEN THE GAS POURS ON THE GROUND. *TR

EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY 07 DODGE NITRO THE GAS OVER FLOWS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND EVERY ONE I GO TO THIS STILL HAPPENS. I EVEN TRIED FILLING SLOWER AND IT STILL OCCURRED. THIS IS GETTING VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE I USUALLY END UP FULL OF GASOLINE WHEN IT COMES OUT. IT ALSO COULD BE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD IT THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES OCCUR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC ABS CONTROL MODULE CAUSED A DELAY IN BRAKING WHEN COASTING UPHILL. IN ADDITION, BOTH REARVIEW MIRRORS EXHIBITED A BLIND SPOT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,700.

A MONTH AGO STARTED HEARING A HIGH PITCH WHISTLING SOUND. GOT LOUDER AS I ACCELERATED, NOW A CONSTANT SOUND. DRIVING AT 2,000 RPM IT WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" TOOK TO TRANSMISSION SHOP SAID THAT TORQUE CONVERTER WAS FALLING APART AND DEBRIS GOT INTO THE FLUID AND UP INTO PUMP AND.TRANSMISSION. TOLD I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. 7YR OLD VEHICLE NEEDING A TRANSMISSION? HAD CHEVY'S THAT LASTED WELL OVER 210,000 MI. FILLING GAS TANK WAITING FOR AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF. NEVER HAPPENED. GASOLINE SPEWED OUT ONTO GROUND AND ME. THIS IS CONSTANT. TRIED A DIFFERENT PUMP AND STATION, STILL GAS NOT SHUTTING OFF. I NO LONGER FILL UP THE GAS TANK. HAVING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SIZE TANK AND HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN TANK BEFORE ADDING MORE GAS. THIS STARTED 2 YRS AGO. CHRYSLER STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SUBSTANDARD PARTS THAT ARE USED TO BUILD THESE VEHICLES THAT THE PUBLIC PUT TRUST IN!!!!!!! I WILL NO LONGER BUY A DODGE / CHRYSLER PRODUCT. *TR

WHEN I FILLED UP MY TANK & PULLED THE NOZZLE OUT GAS OVERFLOWED OUT OF THE TANK. THIS HAPPENED TWICE AT TWO DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS IN TWO DIFFERENT STATES. *TR
