The abs, traction, bas esp lights came on just a week after I purchased the vehicle after I took it in to have a recall completed. Yesterday the vehicle's brake light illuminated red and the vehicle came to a brief stop abrupt while I was driving. The light went off and I continued driving. The a few miles down the road the vehicle suddenly locked up causing the gas meter, speedometer and rpm to all fall to zero and the steering wheel became difficult to turn. I made it off of the road by coasting the car and put it in park. The engine was still running so it wasn't the battery. I turned the vehicle off and proceeded to my destination and the brake light came back on briefly and along with the check engine light then went away. Imagine my dismay as I had just had a recall completed and was not informed as to what the other issues with the vehicle may have been. I honestly and truthfully believe that this vehicle should have a recalled placed on it for the antilock brake system. I could have died because of the malfunctioning of this vehicle.

I purchased a 2008 Dodge Nitro about 2 years ago. Everything was great until about a month ago. First the heater went out. Next the dash lights and radio started to flicker and dim. Now the only time the lights turn on in the dash area and radio area, is when I turn my right blinker on. I was pulled over last week and was told my 2 brake/tail lights were out, and only the brake light bar on the lift gate was working. I replaced the bulbs and still no lights. I have all the fuses check and also had the brake switch changed. . . And nothing! I took my car to 1 mechanic who could not find the issue. Now, my check engine light went on so I was able to take my car back to the mechanic. He found an abs brake sensor issue. . . But that was not causing 2 of my 3 brake lights to malfunction. He believes the issue is with my tipm and it will cost me a few hundred more, just to confirm this was the issue. Dodge also wants to charge me a few hundred to look at my car and diagnosis this issue. Its very frustrating to know that this car manufacturer is aware of all the issues with the tipm and they are not willing to cover the cost. I feel like I bought a lemon. I loved Dodge before this. My other car is a 2006 Dodge magnum and its still hanging in their just great. I really hope this part is recalled on all models.
I have filled my brake fluid twice in the last 6 month and have noticed brake fluid in my driveway. I was first alarmed of low fluid when a brake warning light came on the dash display. I brakes felt extremely spongy.

All things electrical go crazy, locks are locking and unlocking on there own, even when I am driving down the road and eventually don't work at all. Lights don't work on drivers side of car. I push the brake and the dome light in the hatch area on passenger floor light up. All sensor lights are on, in the dash area, seat belt, brake, air bags, etc. Brake light is flashing on and off and dinging when it feels like it. This is an on going problem for a lot of the 2008 Dodge Nitro and I see 152 complaints alone on this website and a lot more on the carcomplaints. Com. Since they are no longer making this vehicle, but a majority of people that bought this 2008 Nitro are having this problem. I beg you to please look into this and have a recall on this! thank you!.
Power locks don't work, windshield wiper spray doesn't work, brake lights won't work have replaced the bulbs several times paid to have diagnostics the tipm is out.
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 am having multiple issues. The gas tank overflows every time I get gas, the air conditioner only cools while driving and sometimes produces heat instead, the locks do not work 4 out of 7 days a week, the tpm signal comes on every few days even though the tires are fine, and the windows do not work on occasion. Although this appears to me there is an electrical and gas tank issue, there are not any recalls issued at this time. I have called the dealer several times and have been told that I will need to bring it by when things are not working in order for them to do any type of diagnostic testing. I consider both electrical and gas to be a safety issue and would like for someone to address this concern. In addition, but I am not sure if it is directly related to the electrical issue, both brake lights stopped working.
