Dodge Nitro 2008 Power Train Automatic Transmission Review #10226343

DODGE NITRO 2008 car safety problem was reported on Mar 31, 2008.DODGE NITRO 2008, manufactured by DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . chrysler denies responsibility and no lawyer wants to fight chrysler. i am not putting my family's life in jeopardy with that car. on 2/18/08 i leased a 2008 dodge nitro at crestwood dodge. on 3/31/08 my wife routinely started the nitro, put her foot on the brake (and not the gas) and engaged the gear from park to reverse. within a split second, the car made an unusually loud noise and the car bursted backward taking out the right side of our gate and a portion of the fence adjacent to the gate. this took her by surprise. she applied the brake but the brake was not able to engage as the transmission had torqued the engine so hard that it forced her into the side of the house and the rear bumper rammed into a brick pillar supporting the roof of the front porch and damaged the car. the impact of hitting the house and the pillar eventually stopped the momentum of the nitro. i called the service mgr at crestwood to see if there were any known recalls on the transmission malfunctioning on the nitro. he told me no. i asked him for advice on what to do. he referred me to the chrysler customer claims resolution group. (cccrg) i filed a claim with this cccrg. then we received a form letter from them stating that they will send an investigator to see if there was a problem with the nitro. cccrg informed us that an investigation was performed at dearborn collision and that we will receive an answer. they referred me to the case mgr. on 4/9/08 we received a letter stating that the inspector found no indication of a malfunctioning defect. i spoke briefly with dearborn collision and asked about this investigation. they stated that the investigator hardly looked at anything. never even started the car and that he were in and out within a few minutes. on 4/10/08 i spoke to the case manager and discussed how we can just get a new lease. he advised me that if i would have to go to the dealership and arrange a meeting with the district mgr that governs crestwood dodge. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1100 miles.

Dodge Nitro 2008 Exterior Lighting Review #10283611

DODGE NITRO 2008 car safety problem was reported on Feb 03, 2009.DODGE NITRO 2008, manufactured by CHRYSLER LLC had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . inadequate high beam headlights. when the high beams are selected, the roadway actually becomes darker. this vehicle utilizes a single headlight assy on each side consisting of an h13 high/low beam lamp. single beam headlight systems have traditionally powered both the high and low beam filaments when the high beam mode is selected and when low beam mode is selected only the low beam filament is powered. when high beam is selected in this vehicle, both filaments are enable briefly during the transition from low to high. during this transition period the light intensity is at the level one would expect to see when high beam lights are selected. however this ideal illumination is short lived because immediately the low beam filament is extinguished leaving only the high beam filament to light the way and it simply is not sufficient. on a dark road acceptable lighting can only be achieved with the combination of low beam lighting and fog lamps. i carried my vehicle in for service and i was told that the lights were operating properly and that this is the way that chrysler vehicle lighting systems operate. i purchased this vehicle new in june 2008 and after a road trip in jan 2009, i realized that the headlight system on this vehicle is woefully inadequate. i did a google search and discovered online bloggs where other owners complained about weak headlights on the dodge nitro as well as other chrysler products. *tr.Mileage was 9729 miles.

DODGE NITRO 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 13, 2012.DODGE NITRO 2008, manufactured by CHRYSLER GROUP LLC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . i was driving down the highway with the cruise control set to about 70-71 miles per hour when suddenly i heard a ding and check engine light came on. the closest exit was less than a quarter of a mile away so i took that exit. as i began to exit the interstate the truck began to act really strange. the speed of the truck was acting up, slowing down/speeding up unpredictably, and even the steering got really hard to control. at this point a few more warning lights dinged on. as this happened, i quickly pulled off to the shoulder of the frontage road, put the truck into park, and engaged the parking brake. the engine had already shut itself off. at this point i turned off the truck with the keys, opened the door and noticed white smoke coming from under the hood. i pulled the hood release prepared to inspect under the hood and noticed a lot more white smoke than the few moments before. having walked over to the front of the truck, i wondered if it was safe to put my hand under the hood to release the locking mechanism due to the large amounts of white smoke. i decided not to and proceeded to walk around to the passenger side when i immediately noticed fire. up until this point, the total time elapsed from the moment the check engine light came on was no more than a few minutes. because i was driving up state to move into a dorm for my last semester of college, most of my possessions were lost in the fire. *tr.Vehicle was on fire. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 38000 miles.

DODGE NITRO 2008 car safety problem was reported on Oct 22, 2012.DODGE NITRO 2008, manufactured by CHRYSLER GROUP LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . every time i fill my fuel tank in my 08 dodge nitro rt it spills out all over the ground. this occurs when im setting the pump to stop automatically and the pump stops then the tank starts to spill. it seems to a check valve issue with the tank an can be a safety hazard at the fuel stations for myself and others around. a simple spark due to a faulty ground in the area could cause this to ignite and be potentially fatal. i feel chrysler should be held responsible for this and a safety recall be issued. many people have had this problem and it appears that the powers that be are not enforcing chrysler to make this a recall issue. i guess it will take someone to become severely injured or killed before anything is done about it. chrysler has a tsb (14-001-09) in regards to this issue so they know it is a problem and they continue to want to charge customers to fix the issue. someone needs to do something about this asap! *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 60000 miles.

DODGE NITRO 2008 car safety problem was reported on June 01, 2012.DODGE NITRO 2008, manufactured by Chrysler Group LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . a week after i bought the truck i was driving home and all the lights on the dashboard came on. there was a slight shaking from time to time when i would go and stop. it did not do it every time i drove it. i took it to the dealer and told them i did not want the truck. they told me there was nothing they could do that they would fix the problem for free. i had to fight with them for 3 months to figure out what was wrong. they never gave me a direct answer, but said they fixed the problem . the following month the abs light came back on, and i took the truck back again. i described the shaking that didn't happen all the time. they made the light go off, and told me if the shake happened i should bring it while it was happening because they couldn't tell otherwise what the issue was. about 2 months ago, my back brake locked up and started smoking after my vacation which the heat shield was flapping in the wind out of no where on the ride home and fell off when i stopped(still yet to be fixed). i replaced the caliper, brake, and the rotors. i had the front checked and they said the brakes were fine. 2 weeks later the shaking started again, and the front brake locked up and started smoking. i had to repeat replacing all the same parts. 2 weeks later again! the front brake started locking up so hard it pulled to the left, and was glowing red when i pulled over. i took it to dodge this time, and they told me the brake line had collapsed. when will this end and are all these things related to the recalls? if not considering i drive my 4 children in this car and it is a danger what can i do about it? why did they not tell me these cars have these issues, and why are they selling them and not notifying buyers of potential life threatening problems.the coils, and brakes and all are rusty like a old car i don't understand how a car as new and well taken care of could be this way. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 78100 miles.

DODGE NITRO 2008 car safety problem was reported on Nov 28, 2013.DODGE NITRO 2008, manufactured by Chrysler Group LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . the last 2 times i filled my fuel tank in my 08 dodge nitro rt it spills out all over the ground. this occurs when the pump stops...then the tank starts to spill at least a half gallon of gas gets all over my truck and the ground!!! this can be a safety hazard at the fuel stations for myself and others around. a simple spark due to a faulty ground in the area could cause this to ignite and be potentially fatal. i feel chrysler should be held responsible for this and a safety recall be issued. many people have had this problem and it appears that the powers that be are not enforcing chrysler to make this a recall issue. i guess it will take someone to become severely injured or killed before anything is done about it. chrysler has a tsb (14-001-09) in regards to this issue so they know it is a problem and they continue to want to charge customers to fix the issue. someone needs to do something about this asap! *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 107000 miles.
