Electronic Stability Control Problems of Dodge Nitro - part 2

While driving on asphault and dip, slope, and curve, the vehicle wanted to stalled and looses power. Brake light for entire ride. This power lost is consistance when going over railroad track or slope and dip motions. It been like this with power and stability since it was purchase new from the dealer. I'm the owner. The suspension system is the worst, it feel like you going to roll-over when there's a dip on the roadway.

Since March 2014. The horn has gone off by itself (3), the truck has died while driving at a speed of 30 mph (1), truck has failed to start (1).

My vehicle was parked in the garage and I tried to start it numerous of times and nothing happened. A diagnostic test was done and nothing could be found. I had it towed to Dodge dealership and three days later I received a phone call stating that it was my tipm. I have read a lot of complaints and I see even if replaced it may still have issues. I feel like something need to be said to the manufacture and this issue should be consider a recall so no one would have to come out of pocket for these issues because it is not the buyers fault, there is nothing that we could do to prevent this. . . This is not safe for anyone. I have children and if my truck would have started blaring out of control and stopping in the middle of the street I don't know what I would have done. What will it take for them to take this situation seriously. Do someone need to have a horrible accident??? I am having to pay 1254. 00 for an issue I had no control of. This is not fair.

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.

The widow control panel on driver side the two front button broke off. Have to replace the whole arm control panel.

On 5/11/10 my 2008 Dodge Nitro crashed into a light pole in a parking lot service lane. I was driving when the vehicle started acting like it was going to shut off. It continued intermittently and when I turned to get out of the service lane the steering wheel would not move. As a result of my not being able to control the vehicle it crashed causing severe injuries to me .

2007 Dodge Nitro on two occasions as I was pulling onto a highway the esc system actived when the rear wheels spun on ice ,cutting power and leaving me part way on raod in line of oncoming traffic with no accelerator responce. Then when I had accel. Depressed full power came on. Which almost caused a accident with a vehicle on other lane of road.

When driving the vehicle through a left hand turn, does not matter what speed you are driving the esp/tcs indicator light comes on the dash and the anti-lock brake system engages causing loss of power and sometimes steering until you are thru the turn. I went to the dealership,they said they took the vehicle for a test drive and nothing happened. They also informed me that since "no code" showed up on the computer that there was nothing they could do about the problem. What can I do as a consumer to get this problem rectified. My vehicle has a 36,000mile warranty and I have 35,000 miles to date on the vehicle. I feel the dealership should take a little more responsibility towards my situation but they do not want to be bothered. What course of action does a consumer have under these conditions?.

Back break lights go out continuously. I have had them replaced several times while under warranty. Lights are still going out but now my extended warranty is over. Dealership said they would have to run a diagnostic test before they could find out what is wrong. This is very concerning because it is a documented problem since the first year I purchased the car in 2007 and the problem still exists. My rear windows stopped working, had to have them replaced which I found odd because I hardly used the back windows. Driver's side handle has snapped in half. This makes for a safety issue because I cannot get out of the car without rolling down the window and then unlocking myself then roll up the window before turning off my car. Also, the power window control has snapped off as well for controlling the front passenger window. I'm concerned I will be trapped in my vehicle if I continue to lose power functions to the car. Heating unit works sporadically. Took it to local mechanic he fixed it. It worked temporarily and then stopped. Called dealership and once again was told that they would have to perform a diagnostic test; which is understandable if this was the only problem, but unfortunately this is not.
