2007 DODGE NITRO SLT - CAR SITTING IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT THE VEHICLE LISTED, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WILL GO INTO A STATE WHERE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE CAUSES MULTIPLE ODD THINGS TO SIMULTANEOUSLY HAPPEN: LOUD CLICKING NOISES CAN BE HEARD FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT HEADLIGHTS / TAIL LIGHTS FLASH WIPERS START AND STOP RANDOMLY ALL DASH LIGHTS RANDOMLY TURN ON AND OFF RADIO CLOCK IS RESET TO 12:00 AS IF THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED RADIO SOMETIMES RANDOMLY TURNS ON/OFF FUEL PUMP CAN BE HEARD STARTING AND STOPPING, SOMETIMES WILL NOT STOP SOMETIMES PUTTING A BATTERY CHARGER ON THE CAR'S BATTERY WILL MAKE IT START. SOMETIMES IT ONLY MAKES THE CLICKING LOUDER, ALONG WITH RANDOM OTHER EVENTS LISTED ABOVE. SOMETIMES THE ONLY THING THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM IS A THUMP WITH A SMALL RUBBER MALLET TO THE BLACK BOX JUST TO THE REAR OF THE MAIN 12 VOLT BATTERY. THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN IN COLDER WEATHER, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO HAPPENING DURING COLD WEATHER. SOMETIMES, JUST UNLOCKING THE CAR DOORS WITH THE DODGE KEY FOB WILL CAUSE SOME ISSUES TO HAPPEN. SOMETIMES THE ISSUES ARE FOLLOWED UP WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, BUT WHEN CODES ARE PULLED THEY ARE INVALID CODES (CODES CHECKED AT DEALER).

THE VEHICLE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WONT TURN OFF AND TURN ON, AND TURN ON BY THEMSELVES WHEN YOU USE THE TURN SIGNAL, OR THE WIPERS DO NOT WORK AT ALL. WHENEVER THIS RANDOM SITUATION OCCURS THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO NOT START. THE STARTER TURNS BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT KICK OVER. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF AT 25,000 MILES AND THE DRIVERS SIDE CONTROLS FOR THE WINDOWS AND LOCKS OPERATES AT ABOUT 25% FUNCTIONALITY.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MASTER UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILED AND ALL OF THE DOORS HAD TO BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED FROM INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE LIFTGATE NOT TO OPEN.

BACK DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAS CAME OFF THE TRACK TWICE IN ABOUT 12 MONTHS, REPLACED MOTOR, STILL DID IT. EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS IT SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE CAR AND GROUND. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY WORK ON HIGH SOME OF THE TIME. DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF, VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX! *TR

TOOK CAR IN FOR REPAIRS IN REGARDS TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPER RECALL IN JANUARY 2013. TRUSTING THAT BERGERON DODGE TOOK CARE OF THE RECALLED ISSUE; I NEVER EXPECTED MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO STOP WORKING ALL TOGETHER. ON THE MORNING OF FRIDAY, MAY 3, DURING MY COMMUTE TO WORK, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING ON ALL PAUSE SETTINGS. SINCE IT WAS RAINING PROFUSELY THAT MORNING, THE HIGHER SETTING WAS OKAY TO USE. AS OF TODAY, I CANNOT DRIVE THE NITRO BECAUSE THE WIPERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER AND IS NOW A HAZARD TO DRIVE DURING THE RAIN. NOT ONLY DO I FEEL THE PROBLEM WAS NOT REPAIRED IN JANUARY, BUT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $50 TO LOOK AT THE WIPERS. I AM UTTERLY AND TOTALLY DISGUSTED, FOR THE SIMPLE FACT I HAD TO PAY $150 AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL FOR BERGERON DODGE TO INFORM ME ON THE PRICE TO FIX THE BRAKES, REPLACE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR (BROKE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY/TOLD BY DEALERSHIP PART WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY), AND REPAIR HEAT SHIELD THAT JUST FELL OFF IN JANUARY 2013; NOW I HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY NEVER REPAIRED A PART THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE REPAIRED. *TR
