3 DIFFERENT TIMES I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY IN MY NITRO DUE TO THE STEREO. THE RADIO IS NOT POWERING DOWN PROPERLY AND KEEPING THE COMMUNICATION BUS AWAKE CAUSING PARASITIC BATTERY DRAW. I HAVE A MYGIG HEAD UNIT WITH NAVIGATION AND SIRIUS SATELLITE DVD PLAYER. AT TIME THE THE NITRO WILL LOCK ME IN OR OUT DUE TO THE STEREO NOT POWERING OFF PROPERLY DUE TO THIS ISSUE YOU ALSO CAN NOT GET SATELLITE SERVICE TO WORK. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ISSUE AS WE DID NOT ASK FOR THE ISSUE. ALSO WHEN FILLING UP WITH FUEL IT DOES NOT STOP ON IT IS OWN LIKE OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS, IT SPITS FUEL BACK OUT AT YOU AND SPILLS EVERYWHERE ON YOU THE CAR AND GROUND. THE BATTERY PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN IT IS TURNED OFF WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION.

THE TIPM ON THIS NITRO IS CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES. ITS STALLED GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT CRANKS BUT DOESN'T START. THE WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF. IT THROWS UP STRANGE ERROR CODES THEN THEY JUST GO OFF. MY STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS AND CRUISE CONTROL WORKS WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT. SOME ISSUES HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING , BUT SOME HAPPEN WHEN STATIONARY. *TR

WHEN REFUELING, GASOLINE SPLASHES FORCEFULLY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK EVERY SINGLE TIME, NO MATTER HOW CAREFULLY OR SLOWLY THE VEHICLE IS FUELED. THE QUANTITY EJECTED IS SUFFICIENT TO CREATE A SIGNIFICANT FIRE HAZARD. I HAVE LEARNED TO STAND FAR TO THE SIDE TO AVOID BEING SOAKED WITH GASOLINE.

4 BIG THINGS WRONG: FIRST, THE FUEL SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND WHEN FILLING IT UP AT GAS STATION BECAUSE IT DOES NOT CLICK OFF. I AM ALWAYS IN A HURRY TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION SO NO SPARKS IGNITE THE FUEL ON THE GROUND AND THEN BLOW UP MY TRUCK. SECOND, THERE ARE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. NONE OF THE INNER DOME LIGHTS WORK AND THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT HAS A SHORT IN THE WIRING. 3RD, THE HEATER STOPPED BLOWING THROUGH THE MAIN VENTS AND ALSO IT GETS COLD THEN HOT THEN COLD AGAIN. THE TEMPERATURE ON HEATER WONT STAY WARM. 4TH:THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND WONT RUN RIGHT. IT WILL NOT MOVE WHEN GAS IS PUSHED THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT WILL KICK IN AND GO. THEN IT SLIPS BETWEEN GEAR SHIFTING. ITS AN AUTOMATIC

I JUST BOUGHT MY 2008 DODGE NITRO. EVERY TIME I FILL IT WITH GAS AND TOP THE TANK OFF, THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND A SECOND LATER, ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE VEHICLES GAS TANK, DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY FOR NITRO OWNERS BUT FOR THE PUBLIC AROUND US AS IT COULD POSSIBLY LEAD TO AN EXPLOSION IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER NITRO OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. A FEW HAVE TAKEN THEIR VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE'S A FACTORY DEFECT INSIDE THE TANK WHICH IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE TANK AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. PLEASE... WE NEED TO GET THESE VEHICLES RECALLED AND FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!

I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, THE GAS PUMP WILL CLICK OFF WHEN FULL AND AS SOON AS IT SHUTS OFF, ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF GAS WILL BURP OUT OF MY GAS TANK AND COVER THE SIDE OF MY NITRO AND THE GROUND. I'VE READ A LOT OF REVIEWS OF A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THEY HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE FUEL TANK AND THE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD!!! WHAT IF I WERE IN A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT? THE FUEL WOULD POOR OUT AND ONE LITTLE SPARK, I'D BE BLOWN TO SHREDS!!! OR SOMEONE COULD HIT ME IN THE TANK AREA AND ONCE AGAIN, AN EXPLOSION!!! SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE, I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS FROM SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE RECALL THESE DODGE NITROS FOR THE OWNERS SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE AROUND US!!! PLEASE!!! IT'S A FACTORY DEFECT WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED BY DODGE FOR THE CONSUMER'S SAFETY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $500 OUT OF POCKET FOR A MISTAKE THAT DODGE MADE. PLEASE HELP GET THESE VEHICLES RECALLED FOR THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE IT IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD!!!

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, IT OVERFLOWS AND SHOOTS OUT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AND ANY THING OR ANY PERSON THAT IS CLOSE BY. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE AND IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED.

EVERY TIME THAT I FILL UP, THE GAS COMES OUT OF THE TANK. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOW ISSUES AND IT IS A PART INSIDE THE GAS TANK AND THE ENTIRE TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK UP AS THE PUMP KICKS OFF AT LEAST HALF A GALLON OF GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK SPLASHING ONTO MY LEGS AND SPILLING ON TO THE GROUND. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT A DODGE DEALER ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THERE ISN'T A RECALL BUT THEY'VE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. ALSO, RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO LOCK MY VEHICLE BECAUSE A FEW SECONDS AFTER ACTIVATING THE LOCKS EITHER MANUALLY OR USING THE KEY FOB THE CAR UNLOCKS AND THE HEADLIGHTS COME ON. I HAD TO TAKE THE BATTERY OUT OF MY KEY FOB AS IT WOULD CONTINUOUSLY UNLOCK AND ACTIVATE THE HEADLIGHTS DURING THE DAY AND NIGHT. WHEN MANUALLY LOCKING THE VEHICLE IT STILL UNLOCKS ITSELF A FEW SECONDS LATER BUT DOES NOT CONTINUALLY UNLOCK LIKE WHEN THE KEY FOB IS IN USE.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANT CENTER WHICH STATED THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE IN CARS LIKE MINE WERE DEFECTIVE AND THEY WOULD REPAIR IT AT NO COST TO ME. I SEDUCED AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL DODGE/CHRYSLER SHOP. THEY FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS ORIGINALLY OWNED AND REGISTERED IN CANADA. I CONTACTED THE COMPANY WHO SENT ME THE LETTER. THE PERSON I TALKED TO SAID THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THE LETTER THAT WAS SENT TO ME. HE ASKED IF I COULD FAX HIM THE LETTER, WHICH I DID. HE SAID THERE SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM AFTER THAT. HE LATER LEFT A MESSAGE ON MY PHONE AFTER HE RECEIVED THE LETTER AND SAID THEIR COMPANY WAS NOT GOING TO PAY FOR MY REPAIRS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN CANADA. I CALLED CANADA AND UPDATED THE INFORMATION THEY HAD ON MY CAR. I BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO AT MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND I'M FINANCING THE CAR. IF I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THEY WERE GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE CHECK VALVE THEY NEED TO HONOR THAT.

MY TRUCK HAS A TENDENCY TO STALL WHEN AT IDLE SPEED. HAPPENS ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. I FIRST TOOK IT TO ALLEN SAMUEL'S DODGE ON 610 FREEWAY IN HOUSTON, TX. THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, SUGGESTED THROTTLE BODY SERVICE WHICH WAS PERFORM. DIDN'T CORRECT THE ISSUE. TOOK IT TO GILMAN CHRYSLER ON 59 SW FREEWAY IN HOUSTON, THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS HAVE HAD FUEL INJECTOR SERVICE, SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT AND FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE, ALL AT THE ABOVE DEALERSHIPS. VEHICLE NOW HAS ABOUT 75,000 MILES. PROBLEM STILL EXIST ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. I AM AFRAID THAT IT MAY STALL IN TRAFFIC WHILE AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OR FREEWAY TRAFFIC JAM WHICH COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE 2007 DODGE NITROS WERE RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I SHOWED THE DEALERS THE RECALL FORM SAFECAR BUT THEIR COMMENT WAS THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALL AND SINCE THEY WERE NOT GETTING ANY CODES MY PROBLEM WAS DIFFERENT. I DISAGREE, IT HAS TO BE COMPUTER SOFTWARE AS WITH THE DODGE NITRO 2007. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2008 AND AM THE ONLY OWNER. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN OCTOBER 2014 FROM A FRIEND AND EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP AT THE GAS STATION , THE GAS OVER FLOWS WITH FORCE AND GETS ALL OVER MY HAND AND FEET, SOMETIMES IT GETS ON MY BODY TOO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT DOESN'T STOP WHEN IT GETS FULL.? *TR

Mileage: 152,200

VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING AND I WAS TOLD BY LEITH DODGE THAT IT WAS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP WHICH WAS REPLACED. THEN THE SAME ISSUE HAS COME UP AGAIN. AFTER READING ABOUT THE PROBLEM I HAVE DISCOVERED IT IS SOMETHING KNOWN TO DODGE AT THE TIME OF MY PURCHASE WHICH THEY LIED TO ME WHEN I ASKED THEM ABOUT SAID ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS TIME IT IS A FAULTY TIPM. IN RESEARCHING I FOUND OUT THAT DODGE HAS KNOWN THIS FOR YEARS. *TR

WHILE PUMPING GAS, THE GAS POURED OUT THE FILLERNECK AFTER FULL. THIS WOULD HAPPEN ALL THE TIME UNTIL I HAD ENOUGH OF IT AND ON FEB. 2014 I TOOK IT TO D DODGE DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT WAS A WRONG PART NUMBER AND REPLACED MY FUEL TANK NO CHARGE EVEN THOUGH MY WARRANTY WAS USED UP. AFTER I GOT IT HOME AND A FEW DAYS LATTER IT WAS TIME TO FILL IT UP AND I DID SO. NOW GAS IS FLOWING FROM THE TANK FROM AN UNKNOWN PLACE TO ME WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY EITHER SLOWED WITH FRONT OF VEHICLE HIGH OR REAR OF VEHICLE SLOWED HIGH OR ON LEVEL GROUND WITH VEHICLES RIGHT SIDE HIGHER THAT THE LEFT BY EVEN THE SMALLEST AMOUNT. NOW I MUST BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE UNTIL THEY FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAT IT WAS BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THEM TO BE FIXED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND COULD PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK. THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT BUT I WOULD HAVE TO RENT A CAR BUT IT IS THEIR FAULT IT IS LEAKING AND I HAVE TO DRIVE 180 MILE ROUND TRIP TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED. *TR

THIS IS A HUGE FIRE HAZARD AT GAS STATIONS AS WELL AS SOMETHING THAT CAN POTENTIALLY DAMAGE THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE. DODGE IS CLAIMING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE. *TR

PURCHASED 2008 DODGE NITRO SXT USED WITH 61,500 MILES ON IT. GAS TANK FILL TUBE OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME YOU FUEL UP VEHICLE. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU ADD FUEL IT OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME. CONTACTED MY MECHANIC AND HE STATED TO CONTACT DEALER AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECKED FOR PLUGGED VENT AND SAID IF NOT THAT MUST BE TANK ITSELF. TONS OF COMPLAINTS AND DODGE SEEMS TO SWEEP IT UNDER THE RUG,VERY DISSAPPOINTED.

GAS OVERFLOWS FROM TANK WHEN FILLING UP. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP IT. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS WITH A DEFECTIVE SHUTOFF VALVE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO STOP THE FUEL TANK FROM EXPLODING IN THE CASE OF A BAD ACCIDENT. SEEMS LIKE A ISSUE TO ME... *TR

WHEN I FUEL THE VEHICLE UP FUEL BURSTS OUT, AND DOESN'T SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. I'VE TRIED NUMEROUS DIFFERENT STATIONS AND EVEN DIFFERENT PUMPS BUT THIS STILL HAPPENS. GAS POURS OUT OF THE CAR AND DOWN THE SIDES AND EVEN ONTO ME..A PAIN AND WASTE OF MONEY. THERE ARE SEVERAL SITUATIONS AND CLAIMS THAT I HAVE SEEN LIKE THIS THAT NEED TO BE RECALLED AND ADDRESSED. I HAVE HEARD (FROM A FAMILY MEMBER WHO IS A MECHANIC)THAT THIS IS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK THAT TO PREVENT AN EXPLOSION IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT THE VALVE IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND NOW NOTHING IT STOPPING IT FROM EXPLODING FROM A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER MANUFACTURE DEFECT (RECALL) PLEASE FIX THIS AND ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP! *TR

PROBLEM WITH THE GAS OVERFLOWING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK - MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK THAT IS THERE TO PREVENT AN EXPLOSION IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. THE VALVE IS DEFECTIVE, AND THUS THE GAS SPILLS OUT, AND COULD POSSIBLY EXPLODE IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AND THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT. I AM POSSIBLY DRIVING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. THIS IS ABOUT MORE THAN GASOLINE SPILLING AT THE GAS STATION !!!! *TR

DURING MULTIPLE INCIDENTS, THE VEHICLE HAS "BURPED" GAS WHEN THE TANK FILLS.ABOUT A 1/2 GALLON OF GAS SPILLS OUT THE FUEL FILLER NECK AND ONTO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. I SEE INTERNET SITES CLAIMING THIS TO BE A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THERE IS NO INDICATION WHEN THE GAS WILL SPEW FROM THE TANK AND THIS OCCURS DURING MANUAL PUMP OPERATION AS WELL IS IF THE PUMP HANDLE IS ON AUTOMATIC FILL. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, WHEN THE PUMP CLICKS OFF GAS SPEWS FROM THE FILLER TUBE. IT RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ALSO GETS ALL OVER WHOSOEVER IS FILLING THE VEHICLE.

DURING FUEL FILLING, FUEL INTAKE VALVE DOES NOT WORK, CAUSING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF GASOLINE TO SPILL (GUSH) OUT ONTO PAVEMENT. THIS IS SUFFICIENT TO POSE ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AS WELL AS FIRE HAZARD. DISCUSSED WITH DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. WILL NOT COVER REPAIR. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP THE VEHICLE WITH GAS IT OVERFLOWS. IT DOESN'T SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. GAS THEN POURS OUT OF THE CAR AND DOWN THE SIDE. MANY TIMES THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS GETS IT ALL OVER THEMSELVES. IT IS NOT THE GAS PUMP, I'VE TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS. *TR

WHILE FUELING MY 2008 DODGE NITRO R/T AS THE FUEL REACHES FULL AND THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF, FUEL BURPS UP AND SPILLS TO GROUND/ON TO SIDE OF VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS EACH TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY FUEL TANK IN MY 08 DODGE NITRO RT IT SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS OCCURS WHEN IM SETTING THE PUMP TO STOP AUTOMATICALLY AND THE PUMP STOPS THEN THE TANK STARTS TO SPILL. IT SEEMS TO A CHECK VALVE ISSUE WITH THE TANK AN CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD AT THE FUEL STATIONS FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS AROUND. A SIMPLE SPARK DUE TO A FAULTY GROUND IN THE AREA COULD CAUSE THIS TO IGNITE AND BE POTENTIALLY FATAL. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND A SAFETY RECALL BE ISSUED. MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS THAT THE POWERS THAT BE ARE NOT ENFORCING CHRYSLER TO MAKE THIS A RECALL ISSUE. I GUESS IT WILL TAKE SOMEONE TO BECOME SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. CHRYSLER HAS A TSB (14-001-09) IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE SO THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM AND THEY CONTINUE TO WANT TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS TO FIX THE ISSUE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ASAP! *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE GAS OVERFLOWS OUT ONTO THE CAR AND THE FLOOR.

Mileage: 50,000

THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BUT IT HAS CAUSED THE GASOLINE TO SHOOT OUT OF MY GAS TANK AND DRENCH ME IN GAS SEVERAL TIMES. I BELIEVE IF THERE IS A SENSOR IN MY GAS TANK THAT IT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ENOUGH TO INDICATE THAT THE TANK IS FULL OR CLOSE TO FULL WHEN I'M PUMPING GAS. WHEN I PULL OUT THE NOZZLE THE GAS SHOOTS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE ( THIS IS AFTER THE GAS HAS SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP). DON'T KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR INCIDENTS REPORTED BUT IT IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR ME TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. THE DODGE DEALER THAT SOLD US THE VEHICLE WHEN NEW DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO INVESTIGATE MY COMPLAINT SO I'M LOOKING TO OTHER SOURCES TO SEE IF THIS IS JUST A RANDOM PROBLEM OR ONE THAT IS WORTH INVESTIGATING FURTHER FOR EVERYONE'S BENEFIT. *TR

STARTED DRIVING A 2008 NITRO THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. UPON REFUELING THE VEHICLE, EVERYTIME THE SOME PART OF THE FUEL TANK CAUSES GAS TO OVERFLOW ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. WHETHER THE HOSE IS BEING PUMPED MANUALLY OR TRIGGERED TO STAY ON DOES NOT CHANGE THIS OUTCOME. THIS IS AN EVIRONMENTAL AS WELL AS A SAFETY CONCERN. UPON SOME RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED ON PREVIOUS MODELS. WHY HASNT A RECALL BEEN ISSUED? THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT INCUR A COST DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN THE COMPANY SHOULD HAVE FIXED. *TT
