TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE NITRO. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE ALTERNATOR WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THREE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V291000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE WIPERS AND FLUID WILL START GOING OFF BOTH WIPERS FRONT AND BACK AND THE HORN WILL START BLARING, HAVE TO PULL OVER AND POP OPEN THE HOOD AND BANG ON THE FUSE BOX, EVERYTHING WILL STOP AND I AM ABLE TO START THE TRUCK UP AND GO ON. NOW THE HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING, I TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY COME ON FOR A SPLIT SECOND AND THEN OFF, ONLY THE RUNNING LIGHTS WILL STAY ON. I HAVE OPENED THE DRIVERS DOOR AND THE HORN WILL HONK AND THE WIPERS WILL MOVE UP BRIEFLY. OTHER TIMES NOTHING HAPPENS FOR DAYS. *TR

I DRIVE A 2008 DODGE NITRO, HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS, HAD NO ISSUES UNTILL THIS YEAR 2016, AT THE BEGINNING OF 2016 I HAD MY CAR ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS A RED LIGHT, THAT ALMOST CAUSED AND ACCIDENT, TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THAT CHECKED OUT BUT AFTER PAYING $140 THEY DID NOT DO A THING BECAUSE, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE?? THEN MONTHS LATER, IT HAPPENED A FEW OTHER TIMES, ONES ON MY DRIVE WAY AND ANOTHER IN A PARKING LOT AT WAL-MART, HAD.NO ISSUES FOR ABOUT AFEW MONTHS, BUT THEN SUDDENLY JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO I HAD A SUDDEN SCARE OF MY CAR TURNING IT SELF OFF ON THE FREEWAY, I HAD MY KIDS IN THE BEHICLE AND IT WAS AT NIGHT, GLAD NOTHING BAD HAPPENED, BUT THEN I STARTED TO NOTICE THE LIGHTS ON MY PANNEL STARTED TO TURN ON, FIRST IT WAS THE SECURITY RED LIGHT, THEN, TIRE GAUGE, THEY TILL THIS DAY KEEP TURNING ON AND OFF, BUT THE LATEST ISSUE AND MOST FREQUENT IS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THEY STAY TRUNED ON, THE PANNEL LIGHTS AND WINDSHIELD WIPER ISSUE ALL STARTED TO HAPPEN SINCE JUNE2016 I CALLED DODGE NOT THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEIR ACTUALLY OFFICE, AND ALL THEY KEPT DOING WAS GIVING ME THE RUN ARROUND, ASKING ME TO GO SPEND MY HARD OWNED MONEY TO GET IT CHECKED OUT, YET I HAD ALREADY DONE THAT WHEN THAT FIRST STARTED, AND THEY COULD NEVER "DUPLICATE" IT, AND THAT WAS WHEN IT WOULD JUST TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN, I RECENTLY DID A SEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT ALL DODGE NITROS WERE GOING THRU THE SAME ISSUES, YET NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN DONE, NOT SURE WHAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR, BUT THESE ARE VERY DANGEROUS ISSUES, WHY A LAWSUIT HAS.NOT BEEN FILED??? PLEASE OF THERE IS A LAWSUIT IM NOT AWARE OFF PLEASE POST IT, WE ALL NEED SAFE CARS TO DRIVE, ALSO IM CURIOUS HAVE ANY OF YOU NITRO OWNERS HAVE HAD DODGE TRYING TO BUY YOUR CAR FROM YOU, I HAVE HAD OFFER AFTER OFFER, I FIND THIS SOMETHING STRANGE

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK UP AS THE PUMP KICKS OFF AT LEAST HALF A GALLON OF GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK SPLASHING ONTO MY LEGS AND SPILLING ON TO THE GROUND. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT A DODGE DEALER ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THERE ISN'T A RECALL BUT THEY'VE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. ALSO, RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO LOCK MY VEHICLE BECAUSE A FEW SECONDS AFTER ACTIVATING THE LOCKS EITHER MANUALLY OR USING THE KEY FOB THE CAR UNLOCKS AND THE HEADLIGHTS COME ON. I HAD TO TAKE THE BATTERY OUT OF MY KEY FOB AS IT WOULD CONTINUOUSLY UNLOCK AND ACTIVATE THE HEADLIGHTS DURING THE DAY AND NIGHT. WHEN MANUALLY LOCKING THE VEHICLE IT STILL UNLOCKS ITSELF A FEW SECONDS LATER BUT DOES NOT CONTINUALLY UNLOCK LIKE WHEN THE KEY FOB IS IN USE.
