Two problems related to gas recirculation valve (egr valve) have been reported for the 2011 Dodge Nitro. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My vehicle stalled out due to a failure with a defective totally integrated power module. According to the dealer making the repair wires leading to the alternator and wires leading to the pcm were fried. The wiring issue appear to be a fire hazard. My first concern is this defective part has caused me about $2,000 in repairs from replacing the battery, 2 alternators and towing. My second concern is that in both situations the car died on me in traffic one on a six lane road and another time on the highway. I also had a similar incident on the highway when the motor died with only 30k miles on it and had to be replaced by the manufacturer.
I bought my 2011 Nitro brand new. . . List of problems: drivers side seat belt keeps hanging up as well as the drivers seat have hard time adjusting. . . . A/c stop blowing some type of controll valve was replaced. . $345. . . Evap leak $100 to diagnose recommended factory gas cap 6 caps later $140. . Engine light still on replaced purge valve. . . $300. . . . . Replaced egr valve and vacuum hose. . . $475 when getting gas it just starts spewing out when close to filling up. . . When driving accelerator gets stuck and engine revs really high until I push it again. . . . I thought it was dirty on the fenders realized it was small paint chips. . . . Engine light started coming on about a 1 1/2 after buying it but it would always go out I use premium gas and the engine light would still come on about every 3 months.
