I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT DODGE MUST THINK IS NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH TO FIX. ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE HORN KEPT GOING OFF. IN AN HOURS TIME THE THING MUST'VE GONE OFF AT LEAST 30 TIMES! I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME 5 POSSIBLE CAUSES AS THE COMPUTER SCAN DIDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES/CODE. TODAY IT STARTED GOING OFF AGAIN. I WAS IN MY HOUSE, SO THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING. WHEN I WENT OUTSIDE THINKING I COULD POSSIBLY UNPLUG THE HORN, I NOTICED THAT THE RADIO WAS ON. NO KEY IN THE IGNITION! OVER THE LAST 5 MONTHS, THE HORN HAS GONE OFF BOTH WHILE AND WHILE NOT DRIVING IT, THE RADIO HAS COME ON WHEN NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR AND NO KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 DODGE NITRO (N/A). THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CONTROL THE STEERING AND APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT HAD A DIFFICULT TIME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EVERY LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED ONCE MORE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50000. UPDATED 07/17/12*LJ

I PURCHASED A 2007 DODGE NITRO FOR DRIVERS SELECT ON RL THORNTON FREEWAY IN DALLAS. UNBEKNOWNST TO ME DODGE HAD A RECALL FOR THE TIPM WHICH TO MY KNOWLEDGE HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTLY FIXED ON THE CAR I BOUGHT. I HAD NITRO SERVICED BY HUFFINES IN PLANO TX ONLY FOR NITRO TO GO OUT AGAIN. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING SERVICED AGAIN AND DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME AROUND 500.00 FOR A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED FOR FREE DUE TO SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

USED THE KEY FOB TO LOCK THE CAR, WALKED OUT ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER TO FIND THE COOLING FAN RUNNING ON THE CAR EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAD NOT MOVED. UNLOCKED THE CAR THE FAN STOPPED RUNNING BUT HE BATTERY WAS DEAD. CHARGED THE BATTERY AND ALL WAS FINE TILL TRYING TO LEAVE FOR WORK ON MONDAY MORNING WHEN BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN AFTER USING THE KEY FOB TO LOCK THE CAR. NO LONGER USING THE KEY FOB UNTIL WE CAN FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT ANYTIME AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V291000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) ANY DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WITHOUT WARNING OR VEHICLE HESITATION, THE MOTOR STALLED AND I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND I PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO RE-START MY VEHICLE WITHOUT SUCCESS. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) HAD FAILED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $625.00 +$85.00 TO THE TOWING COMPANY. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE WIPER RELAYS TWICE (WHICH ARE PART OF SAFETY RECALL J28) ONCE BEFORE THE RECALL UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW HAD IT REPLACED WITH THE TIPM. SINCE THE WIPER RELAY IS PART OF THE TIPM, I WONDER IF THE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE TIPM IS RELATED OR MAYBE FAULTY TIPM;S ARE CAUSING THE WIPER RELAY PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE NITRO. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN BECOME HESITANT, STALL AND RESTART INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, AND BOTH ADVISED HER THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, ALL OF THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WERE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HER THAT SHE NEEDED TO REPLACE ALL OF THE DOOR HANDLES. ALL OF THE DOOR HANDLES EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE WERE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, ALL OF THE WINDOWS WOULD ONLY OPERATE PARTIALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN AND CLOSE THEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

THE WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING DURING A RAIN STORM AND THE TURN SIGNALS WOULDN'T WORK, COULDN'T TURN THE HEAD LAMPS OFF OR ON.

FIRST REPAIR: VEHICLE WOULD JERK (AS IF IT WAS SHIFTING TOO HARD) WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND WOULD STOP (RPM GAUGE DROPS TO 0, LOSE POWER STEERING, WOULD HAVE TO COAST TO SHOULDER AND RE-START VEHICLE). FUEL INJECTOR WAS REPLACED. SECOND REPAIR: VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WITHOUT SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, ONCE IT STARTED IT WOULD STOP DRIVING (RPM GAUGE DROPS TO 0, LOSE POWER STEERING, WOULD HAVE TO COAST TO SHOULDER AND RE-START VEHICLE). RELAY WAS REPLACED. THIRD REPAIR (ABOUT TO GO BACK TO SHOP TOMORROW)- CAR STARTED NORMALLY AND THEN STOPPED WHILE DRIVING (RPM GAUGE DROPS TO 0, LOSE POWER STEERING, WOULD HAVE TO COAST TO SHOULDER AND RE-START VEHICLE). THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN 2 WEEKS THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICING FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE MANUFACTURER'S DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BECOME A...

I PURCHASED A '07 DODGE NITRO BACK IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. RECENTLY IT BEGAN DOING A "SHUT OFF" WHILE GOING ABOUT 80 MPH, DID THAT TWICE WITHIN A FEW MINUTES, SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. THE NEXT DAY IT STALLED WHILE TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, EACH TIME IT HAS STARTED RIGHT BACK UP ON ITS OWN NO PROBLEM. LAST NIGHT I WENT TO GO PICK UP MY SON FROM CLASS GO TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND GOT NO RESPONSE, TRUCK WAS DEAD AS DEAD CAN GET. HAD MY HUSBAND JUMP IT AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS MORNING IT WENT DEAD AGAIN WHILE I WAS WAITING IN A DRIVE-THRU LINE, HAD PEOPLE YELLING AT ME RATHER THEN ASKING IF I NEEDED HELP, FINALLY FLAGGED SOMEONE DOWN AND GOT A JUMP, AGAIN STARTED RIGHT UP NO PROBLEM. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR TIPM ON VEHICLES BUILT...

MY 2007 DODGE NITRO SPONTANEOUSLY LIT ALL WARNING INDICATORS AND STALLED. WHEN I CONTACTED DAIMLER CHRYSLER ABOUT RECALL G25 OR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 07V291. THEY INDICATED THAT ONLY CANADIAN MADE VEHICLES WERE PART OF THIS EARLIER RECALL. *TR

MY 2007 DODGE NITRO HAS BEEN HAVING STALLING ISSUES THE LAST TWO WEEKS. WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, IT HESITATES AND ALMOST CUTS OFF. THERE IS NO PATTERN AS TO WHEN IT HAPPENS; IT IS INCONSISTENT. YESTERDAY, AFTER I PICKED UP CARPOOL AT MY SON'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, I MADE A RIGHT TURN, AND THE CAR COMPLETELY CUT OFF WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP (I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES) AND RESTART THE CAR. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A BUSY ROAD OR INTO AN INTERSECTION AS THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT WITH 2 SECOND GRADERS IN THE BACK SEAT. IT WILL BE HEADING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED OUT. *TR

ALARM SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. ALARM WOULD ACTIVATE AND STOP, ACTIVATE AND STOP. ACCORDING TO NEIGHBORS, THIS HAPPENED ON AND OFF FROM FRIDAY NIGHT 11/13/09 THROUGH SUNDAY 11/15/09. I WAS OUT OF TOWN AT THE TIME. VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN DRIVEWAY. THIS ISSUE ANNOYED MY NEIGHBORS BIG TIME. THIS PROBLEM HAS ANNOYED A NEIGHBOR SO BAD, THAT I FEEL THREATENED BY HIM, AND HAD TO CALL TO STATE POLICE ON HIM FOR PARKING ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE AND REVVING HIS TRUCK ENGINE, FLASHING HIS HEADLIGHTS AND HONKING HIS HORN WHILE FACING MY HOUSE. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASE THE NITRO. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ALARM SYSTEM, BUT I DO NOT BUY THIS AT ALL. SOMETHING HAPPENED TO CAUSED THE ALARM SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION OVER A 2 DAY PERIOD. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP, ONCE AN ALARM IS...

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE NITRO THAT I PURCHASED IN 2007. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF OWNING I TOOK IT TOO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE BELOW RECALL ITEM FIXED. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS RECENTLY (3 TO BE EXACT) WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50-60MPH THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL COME ON.

CANT BE FIXED BY DEALER CAUSE DOESN'T SHOW CODE OR ABLE TO DUPLICATE WHEN THEY HAVE IT , ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO PUT IN NEUTRAL AND KILL ENGINE .

FIRST THEY SAID THE COMPUTER HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED THAT DIDN'T FIX IT, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SO, THERE HAS TO BE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. THANKS. *JB

THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT I HAVE FILED WITH NHTSA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, THE FIRST IN JUNE 2007 WAS SUBMITTED AFTER AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY ENGINE STALLING ISSUES. DURING THE TIME MY CAR WAS AT THE BODY SHOP TO REPAIR DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE ACCIDENT, CHRYSLER ISSUED THE SAFETY RECALL G25. THE DODGE DEALER HONORED THE RECALL AND I WAS RETURNED THE REPAIRED VEHICLE WITH THE ASSURANCE THE STALLING ISSUE WAS REMEDIED. ON AUGUST 17, 2007 AT 5:10 PM I WAS TRAVELING AT FULL SPEED ON THE FREEWAY AND I LOST ALL POWER (SAME AS THE PREVIOUS 5 TIMES). I PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, AND TURNED THE IGNITION, IT STARTED AND I CONTINUED ON MY WAY WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. DIDN'T CHRYSLER SAY THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED WITH THE RECALL? I COULD HAVE DIED IN THE ACCIDENT, OR YESTERDAY WHEN MY NITRO STALLED AGAIN...AND NOW...
