Service Brakes Problems of Dodge Nitro - part 2

I dropped my daughter off at school and was returning home when all the dash lights appeared and vehicle started to shut down. Had the battery checked and alternator checked both was fine. Similar problems occurred about 8 months earlier replaced battery and battery ends. Took the vehicle to dealer to get checked out. Same problem with battery ends needs replacing. Also have been replacing rear lights every three to six months turns out the switch needed to be replaced. Not sure if these are normal problems for a five year old vehicle.

I have had problems with what I believe is the electrical and I am afraid of it causing a fire. I have had dash lights come on for the breaks only to have the Chrysler dealer tell me nothing is wrong. Then when the turn signal is turned on the dome light was flashing. Then 4 dash lights come on and it has something to do with the break system brought to mechanic he done an analysis said I needed a part. A week later the lights are out so I went back and this time was told as long as the lights are out there is nothing wrong. I am not a mechanic or scientist but I don't think iti takes a rocket scientist to know something is not right with the electrical. The locks lock and unlock by themselves and this zaps my battery. I have a brand new battery which is dead today. I have called Chrysler and they said I have to have another analysis done???? this is crazy!.

1. Every time I fill up gas spilld out all over! 2. The gear shift pops out of first gear on a regular basis when taking of from a stop. 3. The emergency brake has stopped working at all! I contacted my local dealership with a recall I received on the under body transmission tunnel shield and they have yet to fix the problem say im on the list its been months!.

The emergency brake ratchet assembly is broken. There are no replacement parts available in the united states and I was told there 77 customers waiting for the part ahead of me. This is one Dodge dealer in the united states. The safety issue is that when parking on any type of grade ti transmission could slip and allow the vehicle to roll out of control. Additionally with out these part the vehicle will not pass the pennsylvania annual safety inspection.

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Nitro. The contact was driving 50 mph when all of the instrument panel lights started to flicker abnormally. The steering wheel then seized to the point where it was impossible for the contact to steer the vehicle. The brakes also engaged independently and threw the contact forward. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 73,500.

My Dodge Nitro is not able to pass safety inspection due to non-working parking brake. Mechanic inspected rotors and drums. Everything looked okay. Problem seems to be too much slack and brake handle but no way to adjust. I have seen a lot of complaints about similar problem; even a recall but only for manual transmission Nitros, mine is automatic. I feel a recall is warranted.

Was backing out of driveway and was not able to brake. Brake pedal got hard would not let me press all the way. It would only let me press it halfway. Kept pressing until it finally decided to stop. Almost hit a truck that was passing by.

Nhtsa complain report. Done on 08082810 at 754am Dodge Nitro 2007, engine stalling when wet or just after raining - it happen already more than 10 times, went to dealer and they reprogrammed some electronic component, problem went away for a while. But now, not only car stalls, meaning engine shuts off but also the esp/bas, abs, and the skidding car icon lights all are on, suddenly brakes started pulsating when driving probably at about 30/25 mph, decided go back home before getting into the freeway which speed limit is 60/65, so after reading recalls at NHTSA official web page I am going today to the dealer for those two problems, and other one I found in same web page, thanks to the people that works for NHTSA for giving us all this information.

Dodge Nitro 2008 back braking system - little to no notice back brakes have grinded down to the rotor on my Nitro - there are several recalls for 2010 2009 2007 on braking issues but non on 2008 I have had my Nitro two years don't drive it much have 25646 miles total it appear that the brakes are braking even when not in use to cause them to wear out so uneven. Front brakes are fine and have no issues. Called Chrysler called carmax where my car was purchased in or to check out the issue I have to pay for an inspection even though I have an extend warranty brake check or inspection is not covered. Even though I explain there might be some issues with the braking system.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Nitro 4x4. The contact stated that the electronic abs control module caused a delay in braking when coasting uphill. In addition, both rearview mirrors exhibited a blind spot. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 73,700.

My 2007 Dodge "nitro" brake pedal goes to less than one (1) inch of being hard on the floor. On presenting this problem to the local Dodge dealership, their response was that they could show me a 2008 "nitro" with brake pedal the same way. My constant concern is whether I will be able to stop the vehicle safely at all times. I certainly paid for brakes and feel I should have received brakes that are safe and dependable. I reported this condition when I first purchased the vehicle, and told this was normal.

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.
