I got my Dodge Nitro 4 months ago first month I noticed my engine was starling and I know is I had electric issues I told my dealership and they said that if the car still running it's nothing they can do about it some days my windshield wiper will cut on by itself some days my blinker don't work I have 6 month warranty . So I was on my way going home coming off the freeway stop at the red light the light hit green I press the gas my wheels lock up my brake lock up and the car keep going into oncoming traffic my car is going into the wrong lane I have pictures of that making. Hard for me to turn my wheel now my car been in the shop for a month still paying payments.

Tipm flashing , wipers do not work, abs light on- speed will not go over 40 and takes a while to reach speed. Acts as if the vehicle is running out of gas, brakes not working properly.

Door locks dont work rite ! broke something on inside of door now passenger cant get out . Have this problem on 2 of 4 doors. Also on startup twice now eletrical system goes nuts ,have no cluster lights and cant get it out of park but it starts . I unplugged battery then its fine again.

Tipm issues.

While driving vehicle shuts off without any warning indicators. There is check engine light. The seatbelt warning lights come one but we all have the belts buckled. This happened about 3 times since purchasing it. I have taken in to get checked but they have not been able to detemine malfunction. This is very scary cause I loose sterring control when it shuts down.

My vehicle headlights will not cut on. Though it is not all the time it does happen a good 80% of the time and more now than ever. When you unlock the lock the lights will flicker. Then when you go to cut the lights on they will flicker on and off until they cut completely off and will not come back on until either the next day or the next couple of days. The lights will not cut on in motion or at a complete stop. This is a serious hazard especially for those who go in and get off work at night. This can cause accident and is definitely considered endangerment.

I attempted to start my vehicle one afternoon when I turned the key the radio turned on, the windshield wipers turned on (but were not turned to the on position) but the vehicle never turned over. I checked to make sure the vehicle was in park (it was). I tried three more times to start the vehicle with the same results. Each time checking that the windshield wipers were in the off position and again making sure the car was in park with my foot on the brake. Vehicle after another attempt started. This has not happened again since?? I have noticed in my rear view mirror that the rear windshield wiper will turn on and off every once in a while randomly (without my turning it on).

After locking my car and leaving it I come back to find it unlocked and the windows down constantly. Now my brake lights wont work on the sides but the top brake light does. Bulbs and fuses are fine. All three lights are connected by wire so they all should be on or off together. Today my battery just up and died. Just wondered if its all related. I have read other people complaining about the same electrical problem with windows and door locks. It happens anywhere anytime overnight or in the pouring rain when im out and about. After the car is parked and locked. The two side brake lights are out all the time the top one lights. The brake light issue just happened 5/2019 the window issue has been a few years 2015.

I have had problems ever since I have had this vehicle. First my a/c unit went out, the Dodge dealership put a dye in my unit to find a leak, there was not leak so they filled it with freon and I was on my way. A few months later the same think happened again and they filled it again and could not find a leak. Then it happened again and finally they said my compressor went out (mind you this was a brand new vehicle!!) so they replaced it. This was the first 2 years I had it. Then I had issues with my gear shifter and some wire that attached it to my gas pedal or something according to them. I had taken it in and told them my car kept stalling and would not start at all, they took a look at it and the cable had snapped, so they replaced it. This was the second year I have had it. Now the past month or so, all my lights are coming on and the bright red brake light comes on and stays on for a few minutes. Then my car will stall in the middle of traffic at a red light and sometimes when I get started driving. I seriously loved this car at first, but I would never recommend this vehicle to anyone, nor would I ever buy one ever again. I think they need to get me another vehicle ASAP, cause this one is a death trap waiting to happen!.

I have a 2010 Dodge Nitro. Sunday night I had the scariest episode of uncontrollable acceleration. The pedal was not blocked by anything, it moved freely. But when I pressed on the accelerator, it kept accelerating. Nothing stopped this short of putting the car in neutral, even pressing on the brakes with all my weight only slowed the car down. I was scared out of my mind. Nothing worked except for to slam on the brakes, put the car in neutral, then park, and turn the car off. When I turned the car back on, everything was fine. I have never had any other problems with my Nitro. It may be a glitch but this is too scary to not report. No one was hurt thankfully, but we were seconds away from being automatically forced into an intersection of oncoming traffic if my boyfriend hadn't been Smart enough to tell me to put the car in park and turn it off. I immediately took it into the dealership (its there right now, I immediately called the dealer after this happened). I could have seriously hurt or killed myself, or someone else. I know I have read other forums where people have had the same issue with their Nitro. I am seriously considering getiing a new car and never buying from Dodge again. I have a brand new baby I have to think about and that was too scary to even risk happening again. Dodge needs needs to do something about this, its unacceptable for any vehicle to perform like this, even once. Especially when lives are at stake.

My vehicle continues to stall without warning. I have taken my vehicle to the dealer on numerous occasions they continue to say nothing is wrong with the car, and they are not aware of any problems with the vehicle. I also have taken it to independent mechanics they say it doesnt give any codes. It seems there is a recurring issue with the Nitro that is at this point becoming a safety hazard. The gas spews out when I fill the tank again they say there is no problem.
