My car didn’t want to start after seeing a check engine light saying cylinder 2 misfire then 4 had fuel pump replaced still had check engine light and was misfiring afterwards a week or two the truck stalled while driving off freeway in middle of traffic breakers did not work, car frozen almost wrecked. I had it towed back to garage and they replace fuel pump again but car won’t stay on it will turn on then shut off by itself not showing any codes mechanics can’t find issue over 2 weeks at garage already!!.
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.
1. Engine light on reads gas cap . We replaced gas cap numbers times and engine light doesn’t go away. 2. Wipers not working . Water cleaning spray for windows not working front or back windows. 3. I have replaced my windows panel numerous times. The window panels keep braking and my windows stay down. Extremely annoying.
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.
I was sitting waiting add a red light going to make a left turn in my car shut off in the middle of the road now I had to take it to the shop and they saidit was the totally integrated power module on my 2007 Dodge Nitro and I see where there's been a recall under totally integrated power module wayback in 2007 and now my car is in the shop gettingmy totally integrated power module repair and it's doing all the things that other cars have experience such as engine stallingmy horn goes off in the middle of the night whenever it wants there's a fan it comes on and turns all my dash lights on and runs my battery downnow my car is in the shop being having a total integrated power module repair and iwant to know why do I have to pay for a recall that they already knew about.
Every time I pumped gas into my truck, I get a fuel shower from the fuel shooting back out. It has a dangerous projectile and is nearly impossible to stop. Putting gas in my 2007 Dodge Nitro has become a fear to me. Nor was I ever informed of any recall. Most recently, it happed 11/29/2019 when I went to fill up again.
Refueling spillage Dodge Nitro r/t when fueling the vehicle, fuel overflows up thru the filler neck and onto the person who is refueling the SUV, thus causing it to spill over the paint of the car with approximately 30 - 50oz of gas. Unfortunately this occurs about 70% of the time the Nitro is fueled up. This is very similar to a recall I had on my 2005 Dodge durango. Below are the issues noted by other Dodge Nitro owners on the Nitro forums website. . Read more...
At each fuel refill, gas spews out after the pump clicks off at the full stage, very unsafe and messy. Gas gets all over my shoes and clothes and the ground.
Electrical problem when pressing unlock button my doors lock instead. My plug outlet no longer works. When rolling down driver window down. Passenger window will roll down and up also. My gas cap light has stayed and and gas cap has been replaced. Shift solenoid.
My truck is have trouble with timps system and it's a 2007 and I seen it was a recall.
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.
Vehicle just died going down the road electrical quit, engine quite, power steering and power brakes quit working.
Fuel spills from filler neck when refueling.
Every time I go to the gas station to fill up, gas overflows.
Back driver side window has came off the track twice in about 12 months, replaced motor, still did it. Every time I fill up with gas it spills out all over the car and ground. The windshield wipers only work on high some of the time. Driver side door handle broke off, very expensive to fix!.
The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Nitro. The contact stated that whenever she would refuel the vehicle, fuel would spray out and drench her. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 99,000.
Each time I fill with fuel it spits out about a gallon. Very bad. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Every time I fill up the vehicle the gas overflows onto the car and gas station ground. This is a huge safety hazard for a fire to start. I am worried that it will eat the paint off by the fill up as well.
Everytime I fill up my 07 Dodge Nitro the gas over flows out of the filler neck. I have been to several different gas stations and evey one I go to this still happens. I even tried filling slower and it still occured. This is getting very frustrating because I usually end up full of gasoline when it comes out. It also could be a fire or explosion hazard it the right circumstances occur.
Every time I fuel my 2007 Dodge Nitro with gasoline it over fills and pours all down the side of my SUV and all over the ground and splashing gasoline all over me.
Gasoline fill pipe overflows after nozzle automatic shutoff. Gasoline runs down side of vehicle onto ground causing a hazard and release of excessive gasoline vapors.
When fueling my 2007 Dodge Nitro, the fuel kicks back and spills out on car and myself, no matter how slow u put fuel into vehicle. This happens everytime I fuel vehicle. Very dangerous to me and fuel station should someone cause a spark to ignite this fuel spill.
Every time the car is refueled on auto it clicks the pump off and spews gas all down the side of the car. Dodge complaint dept says they have no recall information on this , yet every 2007 owner I talk to has this problem. We all thought it was just our car that did this. Some one is going to pull up to the spot where a Nitro was refilled/spilled with a lit cigarette and there will be a sizable fire, if it has not already happened.
The Dodge Nitro can not be completely filled with fuel. I have tried multiple fueling stations in multiple states across the country and at every one of those the fuel over flows from the filler neck spilling fuel onto the ground and all over its operator. This is a safety concern and an environmental concern. I read an article that the NHTSA is probing the Jeep wrangler about this same issue please include the Dodge Nitro in this probe. If you need one to test, you can use mine.
Towards the end of fueling the vehicle the fuel spills out of the filler tube.
