We were driving like every morning to our work and when we try to pass the intersection we have to stop on a yield sign to let the other traffic pass. When I try to hit the accelerate all the lateral air bags exploded without reason and the1st thing we thought was that someone hit us. I try to move the car and the car wasn't running at all also I cannot stop it so I have to turn in off. We go out of the car to see if we got hit but the car didn't have anything so we try to see under the car and all the drive shaft was cracked in half! the sheriffs come to the scene and they can't believe that the car was in that condition if we didn't have a wreck or anything! they say that everything looks like a safety recall, we did a research online and was right my car has a safety recall since 2013 and they never send me a letter or call me to let me know about it! I drove that car everyday to work,to pick up my kids from school etc. . Etc. . And I can't believe what happened I could die if my car wasn't stop! I was very lucky that I was on a yield sign when everything happen. Now my car insurance didn't want to pay anything because they found out about the recall and told me that the agency has to pay for everything because that was a manufacturer problem! but the Dodge don't want to pay or fix anything they also have the nerve to told me that my car didn't had a safety recall at all even when the mopar page say that my car did had a recall! now I'm without car and dealing with the expenses of towing my car etc. . Etc. .

The heater core on my car has cracked and is leaking fuel into the driver side floor. This should not be happening on a car with 60000 miles that is only 3 years old. I was told that an average of 178 heater cores are being bought per week for Dodge Nitros. This seems like a very high number and I would hope a recall is being looked into.

As I was driving down I-459, there was a large piece of a 18 wheeler tire going across the interstate. The car in front of me in the other lane swerved to miss the tire which knocked it directly in front of me. I had no choice but to go over it. Immediately after I rolled over it my vehicle began to overheat. I stopped my car and had to call a tow service to come and pick my vehicle up to be serviced. I had a busted radiator, condensor, and radiator bracket.

I have had nothing but problems with the vehicle since I purchased it less than a year ago. The drivers side door handle broke. The only way to get out of the vehicle is to put down the window and open the handle from the outside handle. The driver side door panel is loose. The electrical panel with the power window and door locks occasionally comes right out of the door on the driver side. Roof rack has started to come off in the upper right hand corner near passenger side. Side panels of the front driver and passenger seats are loose and when you go to get out of the vehicle they catch on your clothing. They are unable to be repaied as they are made of plastic. The paneling under the steering wheel became loose and almost caused an accident as it got stuck on the brake pedal. I feel that this vehicle was made with poor quality and is unsafe with all the problems that keep happening.

I have had my luggage rack/rail bar replaced over ten times by Dodge. They now say warranty is up. There is obviously a defect with the part seeing the rack I have never used comes loose and breaks from wind speed. This part needs to be recalled and replaced to the owners and the dealership needs to guarantee their work and parts.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Nitro 4x2. While driving between 60-65 mph, the transmission pulls, stutters, vibrates, and shakes. The vehicle jerks when the contact depresses the accelerator pedal. The vehicle also has difficulty shifting into the correct gear. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer more than ten times for the transmission. The o-ring has been replaced, the computer has been adjusted, and finally the torque converter was replaced; however, the failures persist. Daimler Chrysler stated that nothing could be done. The cable cord inside the rear passenger side door snapped when the window was rolled down. The contact was informed that the window could not be replaced until after the holidays. While driving between 25-30 mph, the luggage rack holder on the driver side snapped off. The current mileage is 16,595 and failure mileage was 400. Updated 01-29-08.
