2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4 Power Train Problems

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

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

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.

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...

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

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

I STARTED THE CAR TO MOVE IT IN THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER BACKING UP, I PUT IT IN PARK. I THEN TRIED TO PLACE IT IN DRIVE, AND THE SHIFTER LOCK WOULDN'T RELEASE. (IT NORMALLY RELEASES WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED.) AFTER A FEW TRIES, I ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION TO RESTART THE CAR, ALL THE ELECTRONICS ACTIVATED, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FLASHING, THE HORN WAS CYCLING, THE WIPERS AND SPRAYERS WERE RUNNING, ETC. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND POPPED THE HOOD RELEASE. WHEN I GOT OUT AND WALKED TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED LIGHT COMING FROM THE HOOD GAP. WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD, FLAMES WERE SURROUNDING ALL SIDES OF THE TIPM UNIT, AND THE HOOD INSULATION LINER WAS ON FIRE. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. *TR

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...
