Wiper problems of the 2007 Dodge Nitro

The day after I bought this vehicle it had to go directly back because of the catalytic converter. I was told they replaced it but did not show me the proof nor did they give me a valid warranty card. There is something wrong with the electrical system everything flickers and it just sounds really bad. The driver side passenger side window broke because it's made of plastic. The front both passenger and driver side door handles broke off. I had to jerry rig it. And the reason I think this would be dangerous is if we were to need to get out of the car we would not be able to in case of an emergency. I've looked under the items that were recalled on this vehicle. But I get a notification that says I'm not allowed to have it fixed. Unless it's out of pocket. I purchased this car in August 2015 or 2016. The dates on the calendar below are inaccurate because the catalytic converter was done the very next day and the driver side indoor handle has been broken off for quite a while. But recently in the last week or so the other one snapped off.

Our heater core has gone out twice now, preventing us from properly being able to defrost our windows /windshield in winter and remove moisture during cooler days. It creates a substantial risk by reducing, or in some cases, completely removing visibility.

Took car in for windshield wiper safety recall on 3/24/23. Before the recall the wipers worked perfectly. After the dealer serviced the wipers they sometimes would not go off and then seemed to be stalling a lot but I did not have many occasions where I needed to use the wipers as I work from home and have a second car in the household. Today I was driving in a severe thunderstorm when they stopped working completely. In fact, they are now stuck in the upright position and will not move. This is extremely dangerous and exactly what the recall was meant to avoid! it makes me wonder if the mechanics actually did anything to my car at all.

Windshield wipers stopped working while in the “on” position on the windshield. I replaced the wiper motor but the wipers still do not work. Yes, this issue was inspected by several reputable mechanics and service centers. This issue causes safety issues as I live in a region who experiences most of almost all precipitation including rain, hail, snow and etc. I am unable to drive under these conditions because I am unable to use my wipers. There were no warning signs or messages before the wipers failed. I was informed by the Dodge/Chrysler dealership that this is a common issue with this truck and year.

Wipers have stopped working after the recall was repaired.

The vehicle windshield wiper system comes on while driving constantly. It is very distracting and definitely causes an obstruction in your visibility. It is very annoying as well. It acts as if the wiper system does not want to go in the park position on the wiper motor.

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.

I was driving in town, just pulled forward from a stop light. My wipers started running, my entire instrument cluster started flashing. That included, check engine, oil pressure, low voltage, abs, eps, lost all speedometer reading, rpm reading, fuel level, engine temperature. On the odometer screen it displayed no bus. Now it does it while running, moving, stationary, and not running with the key turned in the on position.

Driving my 2007 Dodge Nitro on a secondary road twice and also on the highway doing 75 I had a loss of power, put my pedal to the floor and nothing. This was a recall back in 2007 but of course my VIN# was not included and it expired. How can you determine which vehicle and when it will be affected when you send out a recall? I bought the vehicle second hand and do not know what the previous owner did or did not have done. I drive my elderly mother and grandchildren in this vehicle and now I do not feel safe. When I called I was told "too bad" so now it costs me 1200. 00 for a safety recall that should be honored on all of Chrysler vehicles. Hopefully someone in the Chrysler family will not have a bad outcome in one of their faulty vehicles.

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Dodge Nitro. The contact stated that the windshield wipers worked intermittently ever since owning the vehicle. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that the windshield wipers were included in NHTSA campaign number: 09v438000 (visibility). The contact spoke with jeff wyler springfield auto mall (1501 hillcrest Ave, springfield, OH 45504, 937-325-4601) who confirmed that the windshield wiper recall repair was completed by the previous owner. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 110,000.

In the past two years I've had to disconnect battery several times because wipers would continuously turn on and lights on and not shut off. Air conditioner stopped working out of no where after it had been professionally refilled just a year ago. Since I purchase the vehicle from a used car dealer 3 years ago, the power train feels like it pulls on take off also makes an airplane like noise and after picking up certain speed it then drives normal. Once in a while on acceleration it feels like it loose speed or stalls. Engine light went on with code p0507 which can be any issue pertaining to higher fuel pressure. I just replaced battery last month and decided to put a more powerful one to see if maybe issues would resolved but it did not help. About 2 days ago I got the air bag light turn on. When I purchase vehicle there was a recall for the drive shaft heat shield. I took vehicle to dealer to resolve recall and at the same time I mentioned concerning how the vehicle felt and the hissing sound like an airplane taking off when first accelerating. Dodge dealer advised stated that there was a computer (pcm) update that includes some of the issues mentioned but I would have to pay. I found it funny that I would have to pay for something that they claim resolves known issues but I went ahead and paid for it specifically since in the state of florida there is no lemon law when purchasing a used vehicle is purchased as is and I'll go ahead and to mentioned the loan which did not allow me to bargain because they claim to have to used book value. Too bad for Dodge not taking responsibility because the car has good power when its in working condition and it is a good looking car plus roomy for a small SUV; however, a dealer that does not take responsibility for there fault is one to stay away from.

Wiper fluid shoots out the windshield wipers turn on the alarm goes off and car shuts off does all this at once.

Passenger side wiper does not work.

Takata recall the radio cigarette port and wiper motor stopped working.

Wipers operate on there on as soon as key is turned on. Replaced multifuntion switch, wiper switch and wiper motor. Wipers still on. Taken to dealer did recall for new relays, wipers still on. Dealer will not look at it says recall completed. Taken to independent repair shop and tipm is whats causing issue. Dodge won't fix it under recall which is causing the issue from the begining.

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).

So I responded by turning the wiper's on and to know effect at all they did not work. Since then the weather has not been favorable. It is the only vehicle I can use that is serviceable. No crash,fire or fatality.

The wind shield wiper will not turn off , the turn signals don't work and the high beams of the car does not work. I have contacted Chrysler Dodge last week they have stated it is not a safety recall. My question is would this be a safety issue? thank you.

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!.

Took car in for repairs in regards to the windshield wiper recall in January 2013. Trusting that bergeron Dodge took care of the recalled issue; I never expected my windshield wipers to stop working all together. On the morning of Friday, may 3, during my commute to work, my windshield wipers stopped working on all pause settings. Since it was raining profusely that morning, the higher setting was okay to use. As of today, I cannot drive the Nitro because the wipers have stopped working all together and is now a hazard to drive during the rain. Not only do I feel the problem was not repaired in January, but the dealership wants to charge me $50 to look at the wipers. I am utterly and totally disgusted, for the simple fact I had to pay $150 at the time of the recall for bergeron Dodge to inform me on the price to fix the brakes, replace driver side window regulator (broke while under warranty/told by dealership part was not covered under warranty), and repair heat shield that just fell off in January 2013; now I have to pay more money for them to tell me they never repaired a part that was suppose to be repaired.

Driving north on interstate I-75 in heavy traffic due to an accident, my horn started sounding, my windshield wipers activated and windshield washer fluid started flooding the windshield. I pulled over and shut the vehicle off and restarted the vehicle normally. Approximately, two months later, I attempted to unlock my car remotely using my key and the horn started blaring, the windshield wipers activated and the windshield washer fluid sprayed continuously. I called Dodge Chrysler corporation to see if they could offer assistance. They told me which fuses to pull. I had to disconnect the battery to stop the horn, then pulled the fuses and reconnected the battery. I was able to replace the fuses and drive home. Dodge Chrysler told me to contact my dealer if it did it again. On September 14, 2013. I attempted to unlock my car using my remote key and everything happened again. I disconnected the battery and pulled the fuses but after reconnecting the battery and reinstalling the fuses, the problem persisted. I contacted Dodge Chrysler and they transferred me to my local dealer. I took the car in first thing Monday morning but the service department could not replicate the problem and no codes were stored. I picked up my vehicle that evening and within 3 miles of the dealership, my Nitro horn, wipers and washer fluid all activated. I immediately returned to the dealer and left my car. The service department was able to replicate the problem but Dodge Chrysler would offer no cost assistance to replace a faulty tipm (totally integrated power module). I was informed that I would have to pay for the $750 repair myself. There are numerous reports of this and other incidents involving the tipm for not only Dodge but Chrysler and Jeep products. Dodge Chrysler Jeep corporation needs to be held accountable.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Nitro. The contact stated that after the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 09v438000 (visibility) and driving approximately 25 mph, the right turning signal and the windshield wipers powered on independently. The wipers stopped in the middle of the windshield. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure and did not offer any further assistance. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 53,000 and the current mileage was 53,300. The VIN was not available.

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.

The vehicle windshield wipers wont turn off and turn on, and turn on by themselves when you use the turn signal, or the wipers do not work at all. Whenever this random situation occurs the vehicle will also not start. The starter turns but the engine will not kick over. The driver side door handle broke off at 25,000 miles and the drivers side controls for the windows and locks operates at about 25% functionality.
