Six problems related to instrument panel have been reported for the 2007 Dodge Nitro. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
December 12, 2007: I started my vehicle and I did not have any headlights, any turn signals, back windshield wiper was running and would not turn off, no heated seat, etc. Etc. I had to wait until daylight to go to the dealership. They have had my vehicle ever since. It has only 4,000 miles. They state it that they will have to replace the entire instrument cluster. It has been 17 days now and still no parts to fix my vehicle. From reading all the complaints on electrical in relation to this vehicle. It sounds like there is an on-going problem w/the lights and electrical system in this vehicle. It is a poor system when the dealership can't get parts for a new vehicle.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Nitro 4x4. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer to have the electronic stability program (esp) light repaired. While driving 55 mph in dry conditions, all of the warning lights on the instrument panel illuminated, blinked, and then the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer on March 14, 2007 and they replaced the pdc sensor. Approximately a week later, the vehicle stalled again. The vehicle returned to the dealer on April 6, 2007 and they cleared all of the error codes. On may 4, 2007, the vehicle stalled again while driving 55 mph in normal conditions. The instrument panel lights illuminated before the vehicle stalled. The failure occurred two more times under the same conditions. The current mileage was 8,700 and failure mileage was 1,801.
On 2 separate occasions while driving between 35 to 50 mph the electrical system just ceased generating power for about 5 seconds and then all instrument panel indicators would illuminate simultaneously,only for vehicle to gain electrically power and continue as if nothing ever happened.
