What owners report
I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR STARTING FOR ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS. IT RANDOMLY WILL NOT START AND WILL ONLY CLICK WHEN YOU TRY TO START. IT STARTED OUT TURNING ON AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS AND HAS ESCALATED TO MORE THAN 20 ATTEMPTS BEFORE IT WOULD START. WE HAVE REPLACED A LOT OF PARTS, HAVE CONTACTED DODGE CORPORATE, GOT 2ND OPINION AND STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. TODAY I WENT TO WORK AND HAD TO GO TO A MTG SO DROVE THERE AND WHEN I CAME BACK AND WENT TO START MY CAR IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I HEARD A HUMMING SOUND IN MY CAR BUT NOTICED THE ESP AND BAS LIGHTS WERE ON ON THE DASHBOARD. I THOUGHT OK MAYBE MY FIRST PROBLEM HAS COME TO A HEAD AND NOW WILL NOT START. I CALLED THE DEALER
DRIVING ON HIGHWAY FOR 75 MINUTES. PULLED OVER TO REST AREA- GOT OUT OF VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE BUMPER ON THE BACK RIGHT SIDE WAS MELTED AND VERY HOT TO TOUCH. THEN NOTICED MY TAIL PIPE WAS GONE. MY GUESS IS THE EXHAUST FROM THE MUFFLER WAS HOT AND MELTED THE BUMPER.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE NITRO 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AND LOW TIRE LIGHT CAME ON, LOST ALL AIR IN FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. WHEN I LOOKED THE AIR VALVE WAS MISSING, CHECKED OTHER WHEELS AND FOUND ALLOY LUG NUTS( TIRE PRESSURE MONITERS) WERE ALL CRACKED AND FALLING OFF. HAD TOWED TO CLIO RANDY WISE CHRYSLER. REPLACED ALL 4 SENSORS AND A TIRE $700 REPAIR ! ALTHOUGH IT IS A 2009 I ONLY HAVE 25,000 MILES ON IT. I'M VERY UPSET ABOUT PAYING FOR THIS REPAIR ! I MADE CALLS ONLY TO BE TOLD SORRY ! I SEE THERE ARE RECALLS ON THESE JUST NOT FOR MY VEHICLE.
2009 DODGE NITRO - TPM VALVE STEMS CORROSION AT VALVE STEM RETAINING NUT: WHEN RETAINING NUT FAILS, FALLS OFF, IT THEN CHEWS UP THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE, AND THE VALVE STEM BLOWS OUT TIRE WHILE DRIVING - TIRE GOES FLAT SO FAST OPERATOR MUST STOP BEFORE WHEEL IS DAMAGED AND NOW WE FIND OUT FROM THE DEALER THAT ALL 4 TIRES HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON 4X4 VEHICLES OR IT WILL LEAD TO TRANSFER CASE (TRANSMISSION) ISSUES DOWN THE ROAD. YOU CANNOT JUST REPLACE THE DAMAGED TIRE. DODGE NEEDS TO SEND OUT A RECALL TO INSPECT THE VALVE STEM RETAINING NUT ON VEHICLE WITH TPM SYSTEMS AND REPLACE WITH A STAINLESS STEEL NUT. IF THE TPM IS REMOVED YOU WILL HAVE AN ANNOYING LIGHT ON IN THE DASH COMPLAINING ABOUT A
