Four total incidents of the vehicle engine shutting off while driving the car. Most recent today 12-17-21 was placed in extremely dangerous situation and was almost rear ended 5 times by other vehicles traveling at speeds greater than 55 mph. 1st instance occurred back in 2007 traveling West bound on I635 in Dallas (speed of 65mph) engine shut off, loss of power steering coasted to side of road. 2nd incident Fall 2007 - from complete stop to turn left and cross divided highway, the engine shut down right in the middle of the intersection and was nearly broadsided by oncoming car traveling at 45 mph. 3rd incident happened while driving in my neighborhood, engine shut down and loss of power to steering. Daimler Chrysler issued a recall to reprogram the TPIM module back in 2008 to address the problem. Nothing since then until today. I am the original Owner of this car and it has been well maintained and is still covered under the manufacturers warranty for as long as I own the vehicle. What has prompted me to report this problem is the fact that I could have been seriously injured. There was no warning whatsoever and the place where this took place had a blind spot as the car lost power during the climb and coasted at 2 mph down slope on a bend on the bridge. Cars traveling towards me had no visibility to my vehicle which was for all practical purposes at a stand still. I notified the Dodge Chrysler dealership of what took place and will also contact MOPAR to raise this serious problem. If a vehicle doesn't start is one thing, but to have a car loose power out of nowhere without warning has almost cost me serious harm on multiple occasions. Daimler Chrysler should do something before loss of life takes place.

Significant amount of fuel spills from tank, down the side of vehicle and onto the ground during refueling. Unavoidable unless stopped at least a gallon prior to filling tank. This requires guessing the amount of fuel the tank can hold based off miles driven and/or fuel gauge readings. With practice I have been able to minimize the fuel spillage on my part but it still happens. I am in violation of state laws regarding refueling and pollution each time there is an incident. Further more, I have had a major safety issue resulting from loaning the vehicle to another driver. Post fill up resulting in said spillage; it was reported to me that a cigarette was tossed from a vehicle immediately after pulling from the pump, hitting the rear quarter panel covered in gasoline. Fortunately it just missed the fresh spill.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON A WEEK AGO AND WONT GO OFF. VERY NERVE WRACKING. IF I FILL GAS TANK GAS COMES BACK OUT OF TANK ALL OVER ME AND TRUCK. KEY FOB STOPPED WORKING SETTING OFF ENGINE IMMOBILIZER COSTING ME $207 FOR A NEW KEY BECAUSE THE ONE THAT CAME WITH TRUCK COULD NOT BE JUST REPROGRAMMED. I LOVE MY TRUCK, BUT IT IS BECOMING ONE THING AFTER THE OTHER AND AS A SINGLE DISABLED MOM OF AN 8 YEAR OLD, I CANT AFFORD THIS MONEY PIT. ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT MY LOAN COSTS ME EVERY MONTH. I SERIOUSLY THING CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROBLEMS IN THEIR VEHICLES ESPECIALLY SINCE I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES. I CAN SAY I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. WE LITTLE PEOPLE PAY MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR THESE VEHICLES, TO JUST HAVE TO TURN AROUND AND INVEST THOUSANDS MORE. I WOULD NOT COMPLAIN IF IT WAS JUST MINE, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AND SEE ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES, THEN ITS TIME TO COMPLAIN BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT JUST MINE AND NOT JUST BECAUSE ITS AN OLDER VEHICLE WHICH I HAD THOUGHT TIL I SAW THE OTHER COMPLAINTS!!!!!!!!!!

WHEN I FILL THE FUEL TANK THE FUEL SPILLS OUT ON ME, ON THE CAR AND THE GROUND, THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY AND FILL THE GAS TANK. I WAS ON DODGE FORUM AND TOLD THIS HAPPENS TO ALL 2007 AND 2008 DODGE NITROS AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A VENT VALVE/CHECK VALVE DEFAULT AND THIS VALVE IS SUPPOSED TO SHUT DOWN THE GAS TO PREVENT AN EXPLOSION IN AN ACCIDENT. DODGE HAD A RECALL FOR THEIR JEEP BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE NITRO!! DODGE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE FUEL TANK WITH NO COST TO ME.

DURING REFUELING MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN "BURPING" GAS BACK WHEN NEAR FULL. AT FIRST THIS WAS OCCURRING WHEN USING THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ON GAS PUMP HANDLES, BUT IT CONTINUED TO DO SO EVEN WHEN MANUALLY OPERATING GAS PUMP HANDLES. AFTER SEARCHING THROUGH FORUMS WITH THIS ISSUE, IT APPEARS IT'S A KNOWN FAULT WITH THE ROLL-OVER VALVE WHICH DODGE IS CORRECTING AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. HAVING A KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT THAT CAUSES FUEL TO SPILL IN QUANTITY (ESTIMATING A PINT OR MORE) WHEN REFUELING AND THE DISTINCT PROBABLY THAT FUEL WOULD SPILL IN THE EVENT OF A ROLL-OVER IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE FORCED INTO PAYING FOR.
