FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
REFUELING SPILLAGE DODGE NITRO R/T WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL OVERFLOWS UP THRU THE FILLER NECK AND ONTO THE PERSON WHO IS REFUELING THE SUV, THUS CAUSING IT TO SPILL OVER THE PAINT OF THE CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 30 - 50OZ OF GAS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS OCCURS ABOUT 70% OF THE TIME THE NITRO IS FUELED UP. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO A RECALL I HAD ON MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO. BELOW ARE THE ISSUES NOTED BY OTHER DODGE NITRO OWNERS ON THE NITRO FORUMS WEBSITE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING AND I ACCELERATED THROUGH A GREEN TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND AS I WENT TO PUSH THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE MY TRUCK ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AS I CONTINUED TO PRESS THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR TO TRY AND STOP BUT IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE THEN I TRIED TO PULL OVER TO GET OUT OFF TRAFFIC TO AVOID HITTING ANYONE AND IT STILL NEVER SLOWED DOWN AS I'M TRYING TO PULL OVER. ONCE I GOT OUT OF TRAFFIC I WENT OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THREW IT IN PARK.I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES THEN STARTED IT BACK UP AND DROVE HOME WITHOUT ANY ISSUE THEN THAT NIGHT MY HUSBAND DROVE IT TO WORK WITHOUT ISSUES BUT WHEN HE GOT OFF THE NEXT DAY AS HE WAS BACKING OUT THE PARKING SPACE HE WAS IN MOTION TO REVERSE OUT THE SPACE AND HE PUSHED THE GAS AND THEN WENT TO PUSH THE BRAKE AND IT ACCELERATED ON HIM SENDING HIM OUT OF CONTROL SPINNING IN A CIRCLE THEN HITTING A PARKED VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, WHEELS
HORN HONKS WHENEVER IT WANTS. ABS, ESP/BAS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. ABS ESP/BAS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WERE INTERMITTENT BUT NOW ARE CONSISTENT. ENGINE CODE COMES AND GOES AND SAYS IT CANT COMMUNICATE WITH TIPM. OCCASIONALLY WHEN PARKING AND PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS NO POWER STEERING/ RUNS ROUGH WHILE TURNING SHARPLY BUT THERE IS NO LEAK IN POWER STEERING AND IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HORN GOES OFF ON IT OWN, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. STARTS WON'T START, BATTERY IS NOT DEAD. DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN. PASSENGER DOOR CONTROLS THE DRIVE SETTING FOR LOCKING AND UNLOCKING CAR, SHUTTING RADIO OFF. THE DRIVE DOOR WILL LOCK AND NOT LET YOU OUT, EVEN TRYING TO PULL IT UP MANUAL AND IT WON'T LET YOU. HAVE TO USE KEY IN DOOR TO UNLOCK AND QUICKLY OPEN BEFORE IT LOCKS AGAIN. IN AN ACCIDENT THIS COULD BE A BIG PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DRIVER SIDE BREAK LIGHT AND REVERSE LIGHT HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED TOO FREQUENTLY. NOW THE GEAR SHIFT - DIAG CODE U0103 SEEMS TO CAUSE THE LOSS OF COMMUNICATION OF THE GEAR POSITION. THAT ONLY ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO ONLY TRAVEL ABOUT 20MPH AND APPROX 3000 RPM , WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THERE IS A UNEXPECTED SLOW DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY

AIR BAGS
THE LIGHT W/ THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT SIGN ON DASHBOARD ARE ON FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. IT WORRIES ME BECAUSE MY TEENAGE TWIN DAUGHTERS DRIVE THIS CAR. SECONDLY, WE HAD WORK ON THE CAR DONE LESS THAN A YEAR TO FIX SHIFTING CABLES OR SOMETHING TO THAT AFFECT, TO WHERE DEALERSHIP HAD TO TAKE THE COMPLETE DASH OUT AND EVER SINCE THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. NOT TO MENTION THE RATTLING THAT GOES WITH IT. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO PREVENT FROM SOMETHING ACTUALLY HAPPENING WHETHER WE ARE STATIONARY OR DRIVING. IT ALSO MAKES A DINGING SOUND WHEN LIGHT COMES ON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR MY HORN START TO HONK. I FEW SECONDS LATER SOME OF MY WARNING LIGHTS STARTED TO LIGHT UP AND I DECIDED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP THE CAR. AFTER I DID THIS I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I ASSUME THIS MIGHT BE THE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I AM UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE OR PLACE IT IN DRIVE. IT IS TOTALLY UNDRIVEABLE.
