2011 Dodge Nitro Brakes Problems

“While driving, when brakes are applied after hitting a pothole or indention in the road, the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. The vehicle eventually stops. Brakes will eventually come back up to normal position. This has happened exiting the freeway, and on city streets.”

“My SUV keep having problems with the electrical issues, first it started with the radio and then my brake light keep bowing and we replaced the circuit board and bulps and within three days they blowed again and at night when I turn my lights on my brake lights or turn signals do not work,”

“For the second time my master cylinder has gone out. No warning or noise at all; my breaks when pressed just go straight to the floor. I replaced it the first time and in less than 3 weeks it has already gone out again. I was driving when this happened the first time in the rain going down hill, second time on the interstate.”

“The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Nitro. While driving 60 MPH, the contact heard an abnormal noise coming from the steering wheel as it became very loose. The contact had to steer the vehicle in excess to keep the vehicle in position. The traction control warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering rack fractured and the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. After the vehicle was repaired, the traction control warning light illuminated intermittently and the brakes independently engaged. …”
