3 different times I have had to replace the battery in my nitro due to the stereo. The radio is not powering down properly and keeping the communication bus awake causing parasitic battery draw. I have a mygig head unit with navigation and sirius satellite dvd player. At time the the nitro will lock me in or out due to the stereo not powering off properly due to this issue you also can not get satellite service to work. Dodge needs to recall this issue as we did not ask for the issue. Also when filling up with fuel it does not stop on it is own like other cars and trucks, it spits fuel back out at you and spills everywhere on you the car and ground. The battery problem happens when it is turned off with no key in the ignition.

The tipm on this nitro is causing safety issues. Its stalled going down the highway. It cranks but doesn't start. The wipers will not turn off. It throws up strange error codes then they just go off. My steering wheel controls and cruise control works when they feel like it. Some issues happen while driving , but some happen when stationary.

When refueling, gasoline splashes forcefully out of the filler neck every single time, no matter how carefully or slowly the vehicle is fueled. The quantity ejected is sufficient to create a significant fire hazard. I have learned to stand far to the side to avoid being soaked with gasoline.

4 big things wrong: first, the fuel spills out onto the ground when filling it up at gas station because it does not click off. I am always in a hurry to leave the gas station so no sparks ignite the fuel on the ground and then blow up my truck. Second, there are electrical problems. None of the inner dome lights work and the passenger headlight has a short in the wiring. 3rd, the heater stopped blowing through the main vents and also it gets cold then hot then cold again. The temperature on heater wont stay warm. 4th:the transmission is slipping and wont run right. It will not move when gas is pushed then after a few seconds it will kick in and go. Then it slips between gear shifting. Its an automatic
