1 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2007 Dodge Nitro

Failure Date: 11/13/2019

My airbag light came on a week ago and wont go off. Very nerve wracking. If I fill gas tank gas comes back out of tank all over me and truck. Key fob stopped working setting off engine immobilizer costing me $207 for a new key because the one that came with truck could not be just reprogrammed. I love my truck, but it is becoming one thing after the other and as a single disabled mom of an 8 year old, I cant afford this money pit. Especially with what my loan costs me every month. I seriously thing Chrysler should take some responsibility for problems in their vehicles especially since I see a lot of people have complained about the same issues. I can say I will never buy another Chrysler product again. We little people pay more than enough for these vehicles, to just have to turn around and invest thousands more. I would not complain if it was just mine, but when you look and see all the other people that have complained about the same issues, then its time to complain because it is obviously not just mine and not just because its an older vehicle which I had thought til I saw the other complaints!!!!!!!!!!.

3 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2007 Dodge Nitro

Failure Date: 04/17/2019

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.

5 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2008 Dodge Nitro

Failure Date: 09/01/2018

I was driving my 2008 Dodge Nitro and felt a jerk then air bag tried to deploy and vehicle lost power while driving down the road. It did this twice and air bag on drivers side is trying to deploy with light and dinging every time driven. The gas cap will not seal causing check engine light to stay on and there has been contant electric issues. Head lights and tail lights have to now be constantly replaced and air bag light is always coming on with dinging noise. I believe I'm having issues with the drive train and several other issues that are all recalls in this year of Dodge Nitro.

Failure Date: 02/15/2018

The airbag light keeps popping up. When parked or moving, it's always on and chimes from time to time. The vehicle has not been hit or in any car accidents. Dealer is unaware of any issues but I've talked with other Nitro owners that are having the same issue. My clock was losing time for a long time I took it to the dealership and they said nothing was wrong. Finally they had a recall and then wanted to charge me for the repair even though it had been in a couple of time for the issue before. I love my Nitro but I don't think I will ever purchase another Dodge vehicle again because of how my issues have been handled.

16 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2007 Dodge Nitro

Failure Date: 09/14/2016

Takata recall - the Nitro was in motion when the airbag light came on and when the white plastic strip came sticking out of my steering wheel column. Before the white plastic strip came sticking out behind the steering wheel, it sounded like something was rubbing or grinding every time I would turn the steering wheel. The ebs/bas light and the slippery when wet light also came on. Now the Nitro was stationary when it won't start and it will click one time along with the dash board lights coming on and the windshield wipers will turn on automatically. Could this be an electrical problem or something to do with the airbag?.
