We were notified that there was a recall on our dodge nitro.

On august 20th, 2014, I noticed that my power door locks and front windshield washer pump had both stopped working. Looking this up online, I saw that there were numerous complaints with the tipm system for my nitro as well as other chrysler models. Since the repair costs were estimated at more than $1000, I decided to go without getting this repaired for the time being. Today, while heading into a local supermarket, I noticed a horn beeping, and turned around to find that it was my nitro! The horn was going...

Drivers side front door handle snapped while trying to exit the vehicle. I had just purchased the vehicle (used) and asked about it being replaced and was told that it was not covered. I was told it would cost about $300 to replace (the handle was only about $70, the rest was labor). I did not feel that I should have had to pay for this expense and I did not have the "extra cash" at this time so I opted out for repair. A year later, the front passenger door handle snapped while trying to exit the vehicle. I refuse to pay for this unacceptable defect. This is a life threatening hazard and needs to be recalled. *Tr

I have had my luggage rack/rail bar replaced over ten times by dodge. They now say warranty is up. There is obviously a defect with the part seeing the rack I have never used comes loose and breaks from wind speed. This part needs to be recalled and replaced to the owners and the dealership needs to guarantee their work and parts. *Tr

On 2/22/10 I took my dodge nitro slt in for the windshield washer recall to the dealership. Every since the wiper washer (t.I.P.M) was replaced I've had the mil light come on three times, stalling and the panic alarm going off when I use the remote to unlock the car. The dealership has taken the nitro on the road to reset the mil light, intermittently the panic alarm still goes out, they're replaced the t.I.P.M on 5/19/10; suggesting that I got a bad one a day later the panic alarm went off again. The only way it stopped was to drive it. *Tr

I own a 2007 dodge nitro. I purchased this vehicle new from cortez, co in september 2007. Within a week of driving this vehicle, I noticed the emergency brakes were not working properly. I was parked on a small incline, pull the emergency brake and the vehicle rolled forward. I had to keep my foot on the brakes until we were ready to go again. I have to do this in other situations or just shut the vehicle completely off. There was a recall on this particular problem and it was recent, perhaps within the last...

I brought this vehicle new on 1/10/07 and cannot understand why the dealer did not fix it properly. *Tr
