The interior door handle broke. I have been researching forums and it has happened a lot. I also called dodge customer service and they gave me your number.

Door lock module has failed posing a safety hazard as only one door has a key lock. Rear hatch has become non functional as there is no way to release the latch as the electronic latch is inoperable and no manual key lock exists. The part is on national back order due from overwhelming failures. I have an infant and this poses serious risk to my children as I can only unlock the doors from inside. This needs to be a mandated recall to fix this issue. This happened after the vehicle was parked and started intermittently, and now has reached total lock system failure. This is more than a common problem with widespread 2011 dodge nitro owners.

The door locks quit working and then they jam. The inside handle breaks and the lock knob wont move up so your trapped inside so these no way to get out without climbing over the seats. If you were to cash and there was only one way out of the car it better not be the doors that have stopped working.
