2007 Dodge Nitro 4x4: check engine light

Filed Oct 12, 2018 · Electrical, Steering · 100,000 miles · IL

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.

2007 dodge nitro slt - car sitting in driveway overnight the vehicle listed, on multiple occasions, will go into a state where attempting to start the vehicle causes multiple odd things to simultaneously happen: loud clicking noises can be heard from engine compartment headlights / tail lights flash wipers start and stop randomly all dash lights randomly turn on and off radio clock is reset to 12:00 as if the battery was disconnected radio sometimes randomly turns on/off fuel pump can be heard starting and stopping, sometimes will not stop sometimes putting a battery charger on the car's battery will make it start. Sometimes it only makes the clicking louder, along with random other events listed above. Sometimes the only thing that fixes the problem is a thump with a small rubber mallet to the black box just to the rear of the main 12 volt battery. This seems to be more likely to happen in colder weather, but is not limited to happening during cold weather. Sometimes, just unlocking the car doors with the dodge key fob will cause some issues to happen. Sometimes the issues are followed up with check engine light coming on, but when codes are pulled they are invalid codes (codes checked at dealer).

I have problems when fueling my vehicle. I do not top off. When the auto shut off on the hose clicks, gas will shoot out of the vehicle. This will happen every time if I don't stop the fuel before I know it is almost full. Because of this back flush of fuel, the check engine light will come on along with the gascap light. Had this checked and dealership put a new gas cap on and changed a filter in the gas tank. A few months later the same problem happened. I was told that I needed an entire new gas tank. I was not about to spend that much money, so I said I would just be sure not to fill the tank to full. Again, I have the check engine light on and the gascap light. When will a recall be issued so the tank gets replaced on chrysler's dollar? Shouldn't the gas tank have a lifetime warranty unless there is neglect or an accident?

Hi I bought my 2007 dodge nitro in 2007, I have not had many issues a few minor ones no biggie. But recently the last year and a half my check engine light kept coming on then going away coming on then going away. It was getting me aggravated. Everytime I took it in to the dealer they said no everything is fine ok sure. Lately everytime I go to fill up my tank it has been overflowing. So I was really fed up I took it in and explained the situation to them (dealer) they informed me that it will need a new fuel tank and fill neck. Now I have done some research and apparently im not the only nitro owner going through this issue. I hear that the valve is defective and that it's a manufacturer defect and that chrysler knows about it. Now bear in mind we have all been driving a car god forbid got into an accident and the car blows up because of that. I am not happy I will pursue this and my service better get covered thank god I got the extra warranty!!!! I suggest on everybody's behalf that a recall is issued and if I pay the decidable I want my money back!!!!
