Dodge Nitro

The overall experience was great with the dealer. But the vehicle I purchased was a Dodge Nitro 2007 and every time I fill my tank with gasoline, it spills all over my truck, myself and on the ground. I work with the disabled and that's why I purchased this vehicle. 4x4, good gas mileage, reliable, roomy. I brought this back to the Subaru dealer I bought it from and I purchased a 2-year warranty that will not fix the problem.

My concerns are that there are numerous complaints regarding the same thing. Why has there not been a recall? Is Dodge waiting to have a lawsuit from a consumer or a place of where gas is purchased due to the over-spillage on their property (at least 4 or 5 cups)? Now that being said, I work in a field which this is a hazardous and extremely dangerous for my clients to be breathing in the fumes for 30 minutes after this happens. I will wait for a response.

I own a 2007 Dodge Nitro. The A/C compressor and dryer went out on the vehicle. I have never had an A/C compressor go out on a car that is less than five years old. I was told that it is my responsibility to get the car fixed. I asked to speak to a customer service supervisor and was told that that wouldn't happen. As a consumer, I have the right to speak to a supervisor. I chose a rating of one because zero wasn't available.

I purchased 2007 Dodge Nitro from Bruce Campbell Dodge, Inc. This automobile has been nothing but trouble since I've had it. It was brought in on five different occasions for the windshield wipers that would go out while I was driving in pouring rain. The problem was never resolved and they are still malfunctioning today. I pulled the sun visor down to block the sun and the mirror part broke , the door handles broke off and I have to let the windows down to open both the passenger and drivers door to exit the vehicle. My passenger seat in the front was never fixed properly. The door lock on the drivers side broke off.

This vehicle has been nothing but a headache especially since the warranty has ended. Most of these problems occurred while under warranty and the dealer fixed the problems but they kept recurring. I will never buy another Chrysler product as long as I live and something should be done about putting faulty vehicles on the market for sale. I am a 64-year-old senior, this was to be my last car that I would purchase for a long time and when this is paid off you can believe I will never purchase another Chrysler product. I have always purchased American-made vehicles and I will continue to do so in the future. So, I bought a total disaster in Chrysler but I won't make that mistake again.

We had purchased a dodge nitro 2007 from Dodge dealer. Unfortunately, we have had electrical problems with the vehicle. We have taken the truck to the dealer many times for the same issue and yet not resolved. I called the company and told them how they can help me with the problem. Their response was that they could not help me. I have 2 kids and the car left me stranded in the street. I explained the issue and they just wanted to keep selling me warranties. I told them that they never fixed the problem to begin with, why do I have to continue paying when the problem was not resolved, they did not want to hear it. I need help with this matter. Can someone call me and help me? Thank you.

I just found out that there is a "Silent Recall" going on only to those buyers that raise a fuss over their defective "Leather Seats".They sent my Nitro to R.I. to have "REAL" Leather seats installed. I also learned that so far 2100 replacements have been done..Dodge is going to pay for my new seats..but they first tried to say that it was "normal Dodge wear".I feel bad for all the trusting people that beleive that.

On December 22, 2007, I pulled into service station,put vehicle into what I thought was PARK, removed key, exited vehicle when it started to roll back. I tried to get back into vehicle to stop it and the door knocked me to the pavement. The car's left front tire ran over my left leg causing injury.

Injury to left leg between ankle and knee, heavy bruising. Off work for three days. I received EMS treatment at site, where they determined that there were no broken bones. However on Tuesday morning (Christmas)I was in a lot of pain so I went to Emergency Room at Hill Country Hospital. There are no broken bones but heavy bruisning of leg with abrasions. After contacting the dealership where I purchased the vehicle on 9-8-07, they requested that I bring it in for them to look at. It was determined that a linkage was not attached properly to the ignition either when it left the factory or has come loose causing you to be able to remove the key from the ignition while still in gear, not in PARK. I believe this is something that Chrysler needs to be aware of. The next time it could be a CHILD.

My daughter has called me in the last week on two occasions to inform me of scarry experiences when her new 2007 Nitro just stopped running. She was doing about 45 mph at night with someone behind her the first time, and all of a sudden her lights went off and the car quit running. The second time, today, was when she was doing about 35 mph, and her car quit running, and she had no brakes!!! Both times, she was in the car with her 20 month old baby. Someone should be shot for this terrible atrocity!

On both occasions, she and her son could have easily been killed, had there been more traffic in the area. She has been traumatized. Big deal, Nitro has a 5 star safety rating. What a joke! And then the dealership wants her to believe that everything will be just fine after they take care of things!?! Somehow, I think an intelligent person, might doubt that.

I purchased a 2007 Nitro in March and in May at less than 3000 miles it stalled on the freeway for a brief moment and then started back up. When it stalled all the dash lights came on and steering seems to lock. It was a very frightening experience. When I called the dealer they said they hadn't heard of such a problem and just updated the computer and sent me on my way. I haven't had any problems since, but received a recall notice yesterday.
