2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4 Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

FOR 4 MONTHS SINCE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE 2007 DODGE NITRO IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 8 TIMES FOR ISSUES SUCH AS; GAS TANK LOOSE, STALLING, LACK OF POWER, ESP/BAS LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING, TRANSMISSION MIS-SHIFTING, AIR BAG MALFUNCTIONING. THE DEALER KEEP SAYING THEY ARE RUNNING UPDATES BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. I AM FEARFUL OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO ME AND MY CHILDREN WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND IT MALFUNCTIONS AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE HAD A CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH STALLING, TRANSMISSION, AND BRAKING WITH MY NEW VEHICLE! THE DEALER DID THE RECALLS THE REPROGRAMMING FOR ALL COMPONTENTS AND EVEN REPLACED A KINKED FUEL LINE AND THEY DID NOT DOCUMENT THAT THEY REPLACED IT, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T AVAILABLE FROM DODGE SO THEY SAID THEY PULLED IT OFF ONE ON THE LOT! THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS, CHUGS, CHATTERS, SHUDDERS,EVERYTHING THAT A TRANSMISSION IS NOT SUSPOSTO DO! SO THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER,I GOT IT BACK AND AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE SAME PROBLEMS STARTED AGAIN JUST NOT AS BAD, EACH TIME I DRIVE IT IT GETS WORST JUST NOT AS FREQUENT,NOW WITH THE BRAKES, THE ESP/BAS LIGHT COMES ON, WHEN ITS ON THE BRAKES ARE REAL TOUCHY LIKE SUDDEN STOPPING ,AND LUNGING YOU FORWARD, THE DEALER CUT THE ROTORS FOR A PULSATION BUT DID NOTHING ABOUT THE LIGHT COMING ON!...

MY 2007 DODGE NITRO HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES, SURGING ETC. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW, STOPPED AT A SLIGHT INCLINE WHEN I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE IT ROLLS BACKWARDS. DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THIS IS NORMAL. UPDATED 09/18/07 *TR

NITRO VIBRATES BETWEEN 38- 42 MPH AS THOUGH IT WAS IN OVER DRIVE. NOT ENOUGH POWER AT THAT SPEED IN OVER DRIVE. V-6 ENGINE WAS SUPPOSED TO GET 18-24 MPG, WE GOT 14 CITY ,18 HIGHWAY. VERY HARD SHIFTING. BEEN TO DEALER 4 TIMES SO FAR WITH NO CORRECT RESULTS. ALSO, DIED AT STOP SIGNS AT TIMES. *AK

2007 DODGE NITRO SAFETY ISSUES CUSTOMER STATES THAT AFTER 3 MONTHS HE NOTICED A HESITATION IN POWER AN HARD SHIFTING**CC THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WHICH INCLUDED REPLACEMENT OF THE TORQUE CONVERTER, THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THE CONSUMER THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE PROBLEM TO BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTER, LOOSING POWER IN FORWARD AND REVERSE AND HARD SHIFTING. *JB
