Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Takata recall - the nitro was in motion when the airbag light came on and when the white plastic strip came sticking out of my steering wheel column. Before the white plastic strip came sticking out behind the steering wheel, it sounded like something was rubbing or grinding every time I would turn the steering wheel. The ebs/bas light and the slippery when wet light also came on. Now the nitro was stationary when it won't start and it will click one time along with the dash board lights coming on and the windshield wipers will turn on automatically. …”

“When driving the vehicle through a left hand turn, does not matter what speed you are driving the esp/tcs indicator light comes on the dash and the anti-lock brake system engages causing loss of power and sometimes steering until you are thru the turn. I went to the dealership,they said they took the vehicle for a test drive and nothing happened. They also informed me that since no code showed up on the computer that there was nothing they could do about the problem. What can I do as a consumer to get this problem rectified. …”

“We have been having issues with our door locks along with electrical problems that occur while the vehicle is running. We took it to Dodge dealership and paid $150 to get it diagnosed. We were told the tipm module is not properly working. The cost would be $965.90, when doing research I have found that many Dodge nitro owners have been having this same issue if not worse than what we are having. This is the main command center for all electrical functions that when not properly working is an extreme danger to the passengers. …”
