2008 Dodge Nitro

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AWAITING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN WHEN THE ENTIRE POWER ON MY CAR SHUT OFF. THERE WAS TONS OF CARS BEHIND ME AND I HAD TO FLAG THEM AROUND ME. THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN MID-DRIVE AND HAD I BEEN DRIVING FASTER, MAY HAVE LED TO LOSING CONTROL OF MY CAR. I WAITED AND AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES, I TURNED THE IGNITION AND THE CAR TURNED ON AGAIN. VERY SCARY SITUATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET WHERE I HAD NO STOP SIGNS OR STOP LIGHTS AND AT THE CROSS STREET, I WAS HIT (T-BONE) BY SOMEONE . THE PERSON HAD JUST BEEN AT THE STOP SIGN BUT DID NOT SEE THAT I WAS PASSING BY AS I HAD NO STOP SIGN. THEIR CAR COLLIDED WITH MINE ON THE DRIVER / LEFT PASSENGER SIDE. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN IN ON TO MOVE IT. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS JAMMED SHUT. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 30 DAYS DUE TO THE DAMAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE NITRO. THE CONTACT STATED UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IF A BUMP OR KEY RING HIT THE IGNITION THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AT RANDOM ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHENEVER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT REMOVED ANY ADDITIONAL KEYS AND ONLY LEFT THE FOB AND THE KEY ON A KEY RING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS RANDOM HONKING OF HORN WHILE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND PARKED IN STORE PARKING LOT. SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 30-35 MILES PER HOUR ON ACCESS ROAD THEN ON TO HIGHWAY AND IT STARTED TO HONK CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT STOP OR PAUSE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND LOCATE THE FUSES AND REMOVE SO HONKING WOULD STOP. BOUGHT BRAND NEW FUSES AND REPLACED BUT STILL DOES THE SAME THINGS. AND IN ORDER TO GET CAR INSPECTED, YOUR HORN HAS TO BE WORKING CORRECTLY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. *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

I PUSHED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON MY KEY AND OPENED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR TO GET IN AND THAT'S WHEN THE PROBLEMS BEGAN. THE HORN STARTED BLARING NON STOP, THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE GOING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MY LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AND THE BLINKERS WERE GOING OFF. I TRIED TO PUT MY KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TRIED TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON BUT NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS ON EVEN THOUGH I HADN'T TURNED IT ON BUT WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE IT DEFINITELY SHOWED SIGNS OF BEING ON. AFTER JUST ABOUT 30 MINUTES EVERYTHING STOPPED BUT MY HORN WILL NO LONGER WORK AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. THIS IS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE SO WE WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE GOT IT FROM SINCE WE HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE AND BEEN DRIVING IT FOR 2 DAYS. *TR

1. EVERY TIME I FILL UP GAS SPILLD OUT ALL OVER! 2. THE GEAR SHIFT POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR ON A REGULAR BASIS WHEN TAKING OF FROM A STOP. 3. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS STOPPED WORKING AT ALL! I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH A RECALL I RECEIVED ON THE UNDER BODY TRANSMISSION TUNNEL SHIELD AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THE PROBLEM SAY IM ON THE LIST ITS BEEN MONTHS! *TR

INTERMITENT PROBLEM ONLY CORRECTED BY REMOVING THE BATTERY CABLE AND RECONNECTING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL START WORKING AT START UP OF ENGINE, NO LIGHTS WILL RESPOND, SIGNAL LIGHTS, HORN, HEADLIGTHS AND WIPERS CANNOT BE TURNED OFF. CAR IS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN DURING THIS MALFUNCTIONS MAKING IT UNSAFE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. ALSO DURING NORMAL DRIVING DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK ON INTERVALS OF ONE SECOND OR TWO, RADIO CHANGES STATIONS ON ITS OWN CONTINUOUSLY. PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN NOW, ALMOST DAILY. *TR
