2007 Dodge Nitro 4x2 engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driving at steady rate of 70mph on interstate. Vehicle lost all power and speed dropped to 40mph. Power came back on a few seconds later.
I have owned my nitro for 3 months and have experienced complete electrical failure on 2 occasions. The first time was about 6 weeks after purchase. I had just left my driveway and was going less than 15 MPH. I had to coast to the curb and turn the key to restart it. It happened again yesterday. I had my cruise control set at 75 MPH around 9 pm. My headlights, AC and radio were also in use at the time. The car lost all power...all lights went off, the engine stopped. Thankfully no one was behind us or my family and I could have been killed. Within 5 seconds it restarted as if nothing had happened. All the lights on the dashboard illuminated as if I had just started it. The only thing that did not come back on was the cruise control. I will advise the dealer first thing monday morning, but from reading the other owners posts, it doesn't appear they will know how to fix it.
I purchased a 2007 dodge nitro slt 4x2 on february 23rd, 2007 from san marcos auto outlet. Since buying it has stalled out while driving 4 times. It has stalled out at lights, parking lots, etc. While driving. However, it got much worse as on the fourth time it stalled out at 70 MPH on the highway and than came back on. My daughter and I were very fortunate to not get seriously injured. This could have been fatal. We took it into the dealer 4 times and they can not get it to fault the same way. We refuse to put ourselves at risk in this vehicle and we told the dealer we want our money back. It is still sitting on his lot with no resolution at this time. We are working on this situation still with the owner. We have no plans of taking the car back.
I am the owner of a 2007 dodge nitro. Since I have owned the vehicle it has died once, and a second time all the service lights came on, and the vehicle bogged down like it was going to die. The second incident was scary, as I was on a 55 MPH highway going up on a small incline with cars behind me and no shoulder to pull off. Neither dodge nor the dealership had any clue on the problem or how to fix it.
