HORN HONKS WHENEVER IT WANTS. ABS, ESP/BAS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. ABS ESP/BAS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WERE INTERMITTENT BUT NOW ARE CONSISTENT. ENGINE CODE COMES AND GOES AND SAYS IT CANT COMMUNICATE WITH TIPM. OCCASIONALLY WHEN PARKING AND PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS NO POWER STEERING/ RUNS ROUGH WHILE TURNING SHARPLY BUT THERE IS NO LEAK IN POWER STEERING AND IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM.

HORN GOES OFF ON IT OWN, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. STARTS WON'T START, BATTERY IS NOT DEAD. DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN. PASSENGER DOOR CONTROLS THE DRIVE SETTING FOR LOCKING AND UNLOCKING CAR, SHUTTING RADIO OFF. THE DRIVE DOOR WILL LOCK AND NOT LET YOU OUT, EVEN TRYING TO PULL IT UP MANUAL AND IT WON'T LET YOU. HAVE TO USE KEY IN DOOR TO UNLOCK AND QUICKLY OPEN BEFORE IT LOCKS AGAIN. IN AN ACCIDENT THIS COULD BE A BIG PROBLEM.

THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT ESP/BAS, ESP/TCS, ABS, AND AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE (NO FLASHING) WITH LOSS OF CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOTABLE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING OCCURS WHEN ALL LIGHTS TURN OFF! WITH NO WARNING MALFUNCTION LIGHTS, THE ENGINE MISFIRES AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 55MPH, BREAKS LOCK UP WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BREAK AT ANY SPEED (EVEN COASTING W/DRY ROAD CONDITIONS, AND THERE WILL BE COMPLETE LOSS OF CRUISE CONTROL FX. WHEN THE LIGHTS TURN BACK ON, THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONS PROPERLY W/NO MISFIRING OR BREAKING ISSUES. WHHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED, CRUISE CONTROL WOULD WORK AT THIS TIME ALSO, UNTIL THAT FUNCTION COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AFTER A FEW INSTANCES AS STATED. IN ADDITION, THE HORN STOPPED SOUNDING, RADIO RANDOMLY TURNS ON WHEN CAR DOOR IS OPENED W/3 BUTTON KEY FOB (NO ENGINE STARTER), RADIO/DISC PLAYER FREEZES INTERMITTENTLY WITH LOSS OF FUNCTION/ABILITY TO CHANGE ANYTHING BESIDES TURNING ON OR OFF. BREAK ILLUMINATION LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY TURNS ON, THEN WILL TURN OFF (NO E BREAK BEING ACTIVATED). WHEN WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON, NO CAR DEALERSHIP OR SERVICE IS ABLE TO OBTAIN CODES AND ADAMANTLY STATE THIS IS NOT OKAY/NORMAL FOR ANY VEHICLE TO BE HAVING THESE SERIOUS ISSUES W/NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATING AND FOR VEHICLE TO IMPROVE WHEN WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON. MORE SO, THAT THE SYSTEMS LARGE AMOUNT OF ERRATIC INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONING IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD!! CURRENTLY NO RECALLS FOR VIN # BUT 2007 NITROS HAVE RECALLS-MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR SAFETY ISSUES WITH AN EMERGENT NEED TO REPORT IMMEDIATELY TO NHTSA. I WILL RESUME OPERATING VEHICLE REGULARLY WHEN RESPONSIBILITY IS TAKEN, ADMITTANCE TO THERE BEING PROBLEMS OF NO FAULT OF MY OWN (OWNER 2009 APPROX 2000 MILES AT PURCHASE W/ALL PROPER MAINTENANCE PERFORMED TO DATE). EAGERLY AWAITING NHTSA'S REPLY IN ORDER TO PROPERLY DOCUMENT AND CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH OUR DOOR LOCKS ALONG WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. WE TOOK IT TO DODGE DEALERSHIP AND PAID $150 TO GET IT DIAGNOSED. WE WERE TOLD THE TIPM MODULE IS NOT PROPERLY WORKING. THE COST WOULD BE $965.90, WHEN DOING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY DODGE NITRO OWNERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE IF NOT WORSE THAN WHAT WE ARE HAVING. THIS IS THE MAIN COMMAND CENTER FOR ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS THAT WHEN NOT PROPERLY WORKING IS AN EXTREME DANGER TO THE PASSENGERS. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP US. SO YOU MAKE A PART IN A CAR THAT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO ITS PASSENGERS AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME? WITH THIS MODULE BEING OUT YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF RIDING A BIKE TO WORK THAN DRIVING IN THIS VEHICLE!

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF. NO LIGHTS ON DASH OR WARNING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. AFTER GETTING IT STOPPED AND RESTARTING IT WILL DRIVE FINE. OTHER TIMES THE REMOTE WILL NOT WORK THE LOCKS, IT WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEM SELVES AFTER YOU OPEN THE DOOR AND TRY TO START VEHICLE . YOU CAN PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT WILL NOT START LIGHTS ON DASH WILL GO OFF AND ON AND AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS IT WILL START. THERE ARE TIMES YOU CAN NOT PUT IN IN PARK YOU CAN SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT PRESS BRAKE PEDAL AND NOTHING WORKS TO PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN IT WILL JUST GO IN PARK LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPEN UP ON OCCASIONS WITH NO WARNING. IT ALL WILL WORK FINE FOR WEEKS OR MONTHS AND THEN IT WILL ACT UP AGAIN. THE HEATER DOES NOT BLOW HOT AIR ON ONE SIDE, EVERY YEAR YOU CAN FLUSH OUT HEATER HOSE AND RADIATOR AND IT WILL BLOW HOT AIR FOR A MONTH OR SO AND THEN IT WILL GO BACK TO ONLY BLOWING WARM AIR OUT ON ONE SIDE. NO CODES ARE EVER THROWN WHEN THE THINGS HAPPEN. THERE IS NEVER A WARNING AND WHEN YOU TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP OR A MECHANIC THEY CAN NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.

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 NO WHERE IT WOULD JUMP TO HOT,LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULL OVER ANYWHERE I COULD. AFTER 5 TIMES OR MORE HERB CHAMBERS COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY KEPT MY TRUCK FOR SEVERAL WEEKS FIXING MY HEAD GASKET , WATER PUMP AND 5 OTHER PARTS, THEY TOLD ME I WAS ALL SET TO GO. I DROVE OFF LOT 10 MINUTES UP THE HIGHWAY TO HAVE IT OVER HEAT LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AGAIN WITHOUT POWER BACK IT GOES TO REPLACE THE HEATING CORE ELEMENT. SIX MONTHS LATER I LOSE POWER AROUND A ROTARY, ON HIGHWAY AND IN A FEW PARKING LOTS.I DECIDE TO INVESTIGATE MY OPTIONS TO DISCOVER THERE IS A RECALL AND PURSUE THE DEALER ABOUT HOW UNSAFE THIS VEHICLE IS AND NO ONE EVER TOLD ME IT HAD A RECALL AND DID NOT FEEL SAFE GOING ANY FURTHER. I WAS TOLD TO SETTLE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND DIDN'T SEEM WORRIED SENDING ME &MY KIDS BACK INTO AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I BECAME SICK DURING THE LAST FEW YRS OF THIS AND AM STILL BATTLING WITH MY HEALTH. SOME OF THIS PROLONGED TIME HAS BEEN A RESULT OF NOT HAVING THE MENTAL OR PHYSICAL CAPABILITY. *TR

2007 DODGE NITRO SLT - CAR SITTING IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT THE VEHICLE LISTED, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WILL GO INTO A STATE WHERE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE CAUSES MULTIPLE ODD THINGS TO SIMULTANEOUSLY HAPPEN: LOUD CLICKING NOISES CAN BE HEARD FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT HEADLIGHTS / TAIL LIGHTS FLASH WIPERS START AND STOP RANDOMLY ALL DASH LIGHTS RANDOMLY TURN ON AND OFF RADIO CLOCK IS RESET TO 12:00 AS IF THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED RADIO SOMETIMES RANDOMLY TURNS ON/OFF FUEL PUMP CAN BE HEARD STARTING AND STOPPING, SOMETIMES WILL NOT STOP SOMETIMES PUTTING A BATTERY CHARGER ON THE CAR'S BATTERY WILL MAKE IT START. SOMETIMES IT ONLY MAKES THE CLICKING LOUDER, ALONG WITH RANDOM OTHER EVENTS LISTED ABOVE. SOMETIMES THE ONLY THING THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM IS A THUMP WITH A SMALL RUBBER MALLET TO THE BLACK BOX JUST TO THE REAR OF THE MAIN 12 VOLT BATTERY. THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN IN COLDER WEATHER, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO HAPPENING DURING COLD WEATHER. SOMETIMES, JUST UNLOCKING THE CAR DOORS WITH THE DODGE KEY FOB WILL CAUSE SOME ISSUES TO HAPPEN. SOMETIMES THE ISSUES ARE FOLLOWED UP WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, BUT WHEN CODES ARE PULLED THEY ARE INVALID CODES (CODES CHECKED AT DEALER).

APPROX. THE WEEK OF JUNE 9,2015, THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, ANTI SKID LIGHT ETC. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO LOCAL AUTO SHOP,THEY ORDERED THE COMPUTER MODULE AND THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO SYNC. THEY TOOK TO DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO PROGRAM. WHEN I PICKED UP, LIGHTS ON DASH STILL ALL ON. AUTO SHOP SPOKE WITH DODGE AND PERSON WHO PROGRAMMED SAID THEY PROGRAMMED THE MODULE, BUT SOMETHING ELSE WAS CAUSING DASH TO LIGHT UP. AUTO SHOP TELLS ME, I HAVE TO BUY A 2ND MODULE. AFTER A WEEKS TIME OF NOT HAVING A VEHICLE AND DODGE TRYING TO ADDRESS, THEY REALIZE THE 1ST MODULE WAS FAULTY SO THEY ORDERED A NEW ONE. VEHICLE THEN DROVE FINE AFTER INSTALLATION, BUT AS OF FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2015. AS I WAS CROSSING A MAJOR LIGHT INTERSECTION, 3/4 WAY ACROSS THE NITRO DIES OUT ON ME AND THE DASH LIGHT ANTI SKID COMES ON, I COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I WAS FORTUNATE THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE PAYING ATTENTION OTHERWISE I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED! I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, RESTART THE CAR AND IT TURNS ON FINE, NO LIGHTS ON DASH. I CONTINUE TO HEAD HOME AND UPON THE TURN INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD ( A SLOW TURN), THE NITRO DIES ON ME AGAIN AND THE SAME ANTI SKID LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. ROAD IS DRY WEATHER IS CLEAR. I PULL OFF TO SHOULDER ON ROAD AND REPEAT THE PUT INTO PARK AND START ENGINE. I GET HOME AND CALLED DODGE AND EXPLAINED SITUATION. THEY SEE IN VEHICLE RECORD THAT THEY DID REPLACE THE COMPUTER MODULE. DODGE IS TAKING IN MY NITRO TO SERVICE ON TUES. JULY 28,2015. THERE HAS GOT TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THESE COMPUTER MODULES AND FOR ME IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR DRIVING FINE AND THEN YOUR VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUTS DOWN BECAUSE OF THIS MODULE.
