“I have a 2007 Dodge nitro. Since about 400 miles there has been a hesitation/bucking while trying to maintain a steady speed. It has been to the dealership 3 times, once a month since purchased on nov 25, 2006. The problem has still not been corrected and I am now told that the hesitation/bucking at all speeds is normal .”

“Takata recall I leased my Dodge nitro in 2007 and decided to buy it out due to over mileage allowance. Issues with this car started slowly and escalated over time. My tires lost air constantly. New tires didn't help. Winter I have to put air in all tires once a week. Possibly due to rims. When backing up this vehicle would jolt out on its own not giving me enough time to react to hitting something or someone. The engine was sporadic with the way it handled power and administering it throughout functions. Constant leaking of fluids. …”

“I started the car to move it in the driveway. After backing up, I put it in park. I then tried to place it in drive, and the shifter lock wouldn't release. (it normally releases when the brake pedal is depressed.) after a few tries, I attempted to turn off and restart the car. When I turned the ignition to restart the car, all the electronics activated, the headlights were flashing, the horn was cycling, the wipers and sprayers were running, etc. I turned off the ignition and popped the hood release. …”

“For 4 months since purchase of this vehicle 2007 Dodge nitro it has been in the shop 8 times for issues such as; gas tank loose, stalling, lack of power, esp/bas lights malfunctioning, transmission mis-shifting, air bag malfunctioning. The dealer keep saying they are running updates but the problem still occurs. I am fearful of what could happen to me and my children while driving this vehicle and it malfunctions again.”
