I was told they replaced it but did not show me the proof nor did they give me a valid warranty card. There is something wrong with the electrical system everything flickers and it just sounds really bad. The driver side passenger side window broke because it's made of plastic. The front both passenger and driver side door handles broke off. I had to Jerry rig it. And the reason I think this would be dangerous is if we were to need to get out of the car we would not be able to in case of an emergency. I've looked under the items that were recalled on this vehicle. But I get a notification that says I'm not allowed to have it fixed. Unless it's out of pocket. I purchased this car in August 2015 or 2016. The dates on the calendar below are inaccurate because the catalytic converter was done the very next day and the driver side indoor handle has been broken off for quite a while. But recently in the last week or so the other one snapped off.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2007","productMake":"DODGE","productModel":"NITRO","manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)"}]},{"odiNumber":11661958,"manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":1,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"02/19/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"05/19/2025","vin":"1D8GT28K87W","components":"POWER TRAIN,AIR BAGS,STRUCTURE","summary":"The contact owned a 2007 Dodge Nitro.

Most recent today 12-17-21 was placed in extremely dangerous situation and was almost rear ended 5 times by other vehicles traveling at speeds greater than 55 mph.  1st instance occurred back in 2007 traveling West bound on I635 in Dallas (speed of 65mph) engine shut off, loss of power steering coasted to side of road.  2nd incident Fall 2007 - from complete stop to turn left and cross divided highway, the engine shut down right in the middle of the intersection and was nearly broadsided by oncoming car traveling at 45 mph.  3rd incident happened while driving in my neighborhood, engine shut down and loss of power to steering.  Daimler Chrysler issued a recall to reprogram the TPIM module back in 2008 to address the problem.  Nothing since then until today.  I am the original Owner of this car and it has been well maintained and is still covered under the manufacturers warranty for as long as I own the vehicle.  What has prompted me to report this problem is the fact that I could have been seriously injured. There was no warning whatsoever and the place where this took place had a blind spot as the car lost power during the climb and coasted at 2 mph down slope on a bend on the bridge.  Cars traveling towards me had no visibility to my vehicle which was for all practical purposes at a stand still. I notified the Dodge Chrysler dealership of what took place and will also contact MOPAR to raise this serious problem.  If a vehicle doesn't start is one thing, but to have a car loose power out of nowhere without warning has almost cost me serious harm on multiple occasions. Daimler Chrysler should do something before loss of life takes place.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2007","productMake":"DODGE","productModel":"NITRO","manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)"}]},{"odiNumber":11434312,"manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"09/20/2021","dateComplaintFiled":"09/25/2021","vin":"1D8GU58677W","components":"POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"I noticed a few months ago my dash lights and radio lights at night when I turn my headlights on would flicker on and off several times then stop and do it again repeated process.

With practice I have been able to minimize the fuel spillage on my part but it still happens. I am in violation of state laws regarding refueling and pollution each time there is an incident. Further more, I have had a major safety issue resulting from loaning the vehicle to another driver. Post fill up resulting in said spillage; it was reported to me that a cigarette was tossed from a vehicle immediately after pulling from the pump, hitting the rear quarter panel covered in gasoline. Fortunately it just missed the fresh spill.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2007","productMake":"DODGE","productModel":"NITRO","manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)"}]},{"odiNumber":11407918,"manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"04/08/2021","dateComplaintFiled":"04/13/2021","vin":"1D8GT58K27W","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM","summary":"I WAS SITTING WAITING ADD A RED LIGHT GOING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN MY CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD NOW I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAIDIT WAS THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE ON MY 2007 DODGE NITRO AND I SEE WHERE THERE'S BEEN A RECALL UNDER TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE WAYBACK IN 2007 AND NOW MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP GETTINGMY TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE REPAIR AND IT'S DOING ALL THE THINGS THAT OTHER CARS HAVE EXPERIENCE SUCH AS ENGINE STALLINGMY HORN GOES OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHENEVER IT WANTS THERE'S A FAN IT COMES ON AND TURNS ALL MY DASH LIGHTS ON AND RUNS MY BATTERY DOWNNOW MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP BEING HAVING A TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE REPAIR AND IWANT TO KNOW WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR A RECALL THAT THEY ALREADY KNEW ABOUT","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2007","productMake":"DODGE","productModel":"NITRO","manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)"}]},{"odiNumber":11407721,"manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"04/05/2021","dateComplaintFiled":"04/12/2021","vin":"1D8GU28K37W","components":"FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM","summary":"WHEN GETTING FUEL, THE VAPORS IN THE TANK WILL NOT ALLOW THE TANK TO FILL UP WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE THE GAS NOZZLE UPSIDE DOWN.

I HAD MY BLINKER ON AND WAS READY TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AS SOON AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN.  WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I LIGHTLY STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR WHEN A LOUD EXPLOSION WAS HEARD AND FELT IN THE VEHICLE UNDERCARRIAGE.  THE VEHICLE'S DRIVE SHAFT HAD EXPLODED UPWARDS, HITTING THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND THEN DROPPING TO THE FLOOR.  THE VEHICLE LOST COMPLETE POWER AND STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE DRIVELINE FELL OFF.  MY DAUGHTER AND NIECE FELT THE HIT IN GREATER MAGNITUDE AS THEY WERE SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT.  MY INSURANCE COVERED THE WRECKER AND TRANSPORTED THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DODGE DEALERSHIP.  THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY HEATSHIELD THAT FELL OFF THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE ALUMINUM DRIVESHAFT.  SINCE THE HEATSHIELD IS MADE OF ALUMINUM AND FIBERGLASS, THE RUBBING OF ALUMINUM AGAINST ALUMINUM HAS A CUTTING EFFECT THAT CAUSED THE DRIVESHAFT TO CUT OPEN AND THEN EXPLODE CUTTING IT IN HALF.  LUCKILY, I WAS MAKING A TURN GOING NO MORE THAN 10 TO 15 MILES AN HOUR.  HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THIS ISSUE WOULD HAVE LIKELY CAUSED A FATAL AND CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT.  THERE IS NO RECALL THAT I KNOW OF.  MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE REPAIR AS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POLICY.  MY CAR INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER THE REPAIRS AS IT IS CONSIDERED A MECHANICAL FAILURE AND NOT A COLLISION.  DODGE SHOULD CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION ON THE CAUSE OF THE HEATSHIELD COMING OFF FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE, AND RECALL VEHICLES TO PREVENT ANY FUTURE CATASTROPHIC EVENTS.   *KB","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2007","productMake":"DODGE","productModel":"NITRO 4X2","manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)"}]},{"odiNumber":10441558,"manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"10/19/2011","dateComplaintFiled":"12/28/2011","vin":"1D8GU28K47W","components":"FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE","summary":"WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, THE AUTO SHUT OFF DOES NOT WORK.
