I got out of my Nitro and popped open the hood and looked inside and saw that the battery had exploded, both caps had blown off and the top of the battery was cracked wide open with battery acid pouring out. This was a very loud thump when I turned the key.

Numerous times over the past few months I have pulled out of my driveway or out of a parking lot and my vehicle has stopped running,forcing me to pull over quickly before my steering locks up,which then requires me to put the vehicle in park and restart it.

They could not reproduce the problem, suggested throttle body service which was perform. Didn't correct the issue. Took it to gilman Chrysler on 59 sw freeway in houston, they couldn't reproduce the problem. Within the past two years have had fuel injector service, spark plug replacement and fuel pump replacement in an attempt to correct this issue, all at the above dealerships. Vehicle now has about 75,000 miles. Problem still exist on an intermittent basis.

It is my understanding that the 2007 Dodge Nitros were recall for the same problem. I showed the dealers the recall form safecar but their comment was that my vehicle was not recall and since they were not getting any codes my problem was different. I disagree, it has to be computer software as with the Dodge Nitro 2007. I bought the vehicle new in 2008 and am the only owner.
