2007 Dodge Nitro window and wiper problems

VISIBILITY/WIPER

The day after I bought this vehicle it had to go directly back because of the catalytic converter. I was told they replaced it but did not show me the proof nor did they give me a valid warranty card. There is something wrong with the electrical system everything flickers and it just sounds really bad. The driver side passenger side window broke because it's made of plastic. The front both passenger and driver side door handles broke off. I had to Jerry rig it. And the reason I think this would be dangerous is if we were to need to get out of the car we would not be able to in case of an emergency. I've looked under the items that were recalled on this vehicle. But I get a notification that says I'm not allowed to have it fixed. Unless it's out of pocket. I purchased this car in August 2015 or 2016. The dates on the calendar below are inaccurate because the catalytic converter was done the very next day and the driver side indoor handle has been broken off for quite a while. But recently in the last week or so the other one snapped off.

Our heater core has gone out twice now, preventing us from properly being able to defrost our windows /windshield in winter and remove moisture during cooler days. It creates a substantial risk by reducing, or in some cases, completely removing visibility

Took car in for windshield wiper safety recall on 3/24/23. BEFORE the recall the wipers worked perfectly. After the dealer serviced the wipers they sometimes would not go off and then seemed to be stalling a lot but I did not have many occasions where I needed to use the wipers as I work from home and have a second car in the household. Today I was driving in a severe thunderstorm when they stopped working completely. In fact, they are now stuck in the upright position and will not move. This is EXTREMELY dangerous and exactly what the recall was meant to avoid! It makes me wonder if the mechanics actually did anything to my car at all.

Windshield wipers stopped working while in the “on” position on the windshield. I replaced the wiper motor but the wipers still do not work. Yes, this issue was inspected by several reputable mechanics and service centers. This issue causes safety issues as I live in a region who experiences most of almost all precipitation including rain, hail, snow and etc. I am unable to drive under these conditions because I am unable to use my wipers. There were no warning signs or messages before the wipers failed. I was informed by the Dodge/Chrysler dealership that this is a common issue with this truck and year.

The vehicle windshield wiper system comes on while driving constantly. It is very distracting and definitely causes an obstruction in your visibility. It is very annoying as well. It acts as if the wiper system does not want to go in the park position on the wiper motor.

1. Engine light on reads gas cap . We replaced gas cap numbers times and engine light doesn’t go away. 2. Wipers not working . Water cleaning spray for windows not working front or back windows. 3. I have replaced my windows panel numerous times. The window panels keep braking and my windows stay down. Extremely annoying.

DRIVING MY 2007 DODGE NITRO ON A SECONDARY ROAD TWICE AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 75 I HAD A LOSS OF POWER, PUT MY PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING. THIS WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2007 BUT OF COURSE MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED AND IT EXPIRED. HOW CAN YOU DETERMINE WHICH VEHICLE AND WHEN IT WILL BE AFFECTED WHEN YOU SEND OUT A RECALL? I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE SECOND HAND AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID OR DID NOT HAVE DONE. I DRIVE MY ELDERLY MOTHER AND GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I DO NOT FEEL SAFE.WHEN I CALLED I WAS TOLD "TOO BAD" SO NOW IT COSTS ME 1200.00 FOR A SAFETY RECALL THAT SHOULD BE HONORED ON ALL OF CHRYSLER VEHICLES. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE IN THE CHRYSLER FAMILY WILL NOT HAVE A BAD OUTCOME IN ONE OF THEIR FAULTY VEHICLES.

IN THE PAST TWO YEARS I'VE HAD TO DISCONNECT BATTERY SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE WIPERS WOULD CONTINUOUSLY TURN ON AND LIGHTS ON AND NOT SHUT OFF. AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING OUT OF NO WHERE AFTER IT HAD BEEN PROFESSIONALLY REFILLED JUST A YEAR AGO. SINCE I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALER 3 YEARS AGO, THE POWER TRAIN FEELS LIKE IT PULLS ON TAKE OFF ALSO MAKES AN AIRPLANE LIKE NOISE AND AFTER PICKING UP CERTAIN SPEED IT THEN DRIVES NORMAL. ONCE IN A WHILE ON ACCELERATION IT FEELS LIKE IT LOOSE SPEED OR STALLS. ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON WITH CODE P0507 WHICH CAN BE ANY ISSUE PERTAINING TO HIGHER FUEL PRESSURE. I JUST REPLACED BATTERY LAST MONTH AND DECIDED TO PUT A MORE POWERFUL ONE TO SEE IF MAYBE ISSUES WOULD RESOLVED BUT IT DID NOT HELP. ABOUT 2 DAYS AGO I GOT THE AIR BAG LIGHT TURN ON. WHEN I PURCHASE VEHICLE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE DRIVE SHAFT HEAT SHIELD. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER TO RESOLVE RECALL AND AT THE SAME TIME I MENTIONED CONCERNING HOW THE VEHICLE FELT AND THE HISSING SOUND LIKE AN AIRPLANE TAKING OFF WHEN FIRST ACCELERATING. DODGE DEALER ADVISED STATED THAT THERE WAS A COMPUTER (PCM) UPDATE THAT INCLUDES SOME OF THE ISSUES MENTIONED BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. I FOUND IT FUNNY THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY CLAIM RESOLVES KNOWN ISSUES BUT I WENT AHEAD AND PAID FOR IT SPECIFICALLY SINCE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA THERE IS NO LEMON LAW WHEN PURCHASING A USED VEHICLE IS PURCHASED AS IS AND I'LL GO AHEAD AND TO MENTIONED THE LOAN WHICH DID NOT ALLOW ME TO BARGAIN BECAUSE THEY CLAIM TO HAVE TO USED BOOK VALUE. TOO BAD FOR DODGE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THE CAR HAS GOOD POWER WHEN ITS IN WORKING CONDITION AND IT IS A GOOD LOOKING CAR PLUS ROOMY FOR A SMALL SUV; HOWEVER, A DEALER THAT DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THERE FAULT IS ONE TO STAY AWAY FROM.

BACK BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT CONTINUOUSLY. I HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. LIGHTS ARE STILL GOING OUT BUT NOW MY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS OVER. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BEFORE THEY COULD FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE IT IS A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM SINCE THE FIRST YEAR I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2007 AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. MY REAR WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING, HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED WHICH I FOUND ODD BECAUSE I HARDLY USED THE BACK WINDOWS. DRIVER'S SIDE HANDLE HAS SNAPPED IN HALF. THIS MAKES FOR A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I CANNOT GET OUT OF THE CAR WITHOUT ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW AND THEN UNLOCKING MYSELF THEN ROLL UP THE WINDOW BEFORE TURNING OFF MY CAR. ALSO, THE POWER WINDOW CONTROL HAS SNAPPED OFF AS WELL FOR CONTROLLING THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW. I'M CONCERNED I WILL BE TRAPPED IN MY VEHICLE IF I CONTINUE TO LOSE POWER FUNCTIONS TO THE CAR. HEATING UNIT WORKS SPORADICALLY. TOOK IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC HE FIXED IT. IT WORKED TEMPORARILY AND THEN STOPPED. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND ONCE AGAIN WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST; WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE IF THIS WAS THE ONLY PROBLEM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS NOT.

DRIVING NORTH ON INTERSTATE I-75 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC DUE TO AN ACCIDENT, MY HORN STARTED SOUNDING, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED AND WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID STARTED FLOODING THE WINDSHIELD. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE NORMALLY. APPROXIMATELY, TWO MONTHS LATER, I ATTEMPTED TO UNLOCK MY CAR REMOTELY USING MY KEY AND THE HORN STARTED BLARING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED AND THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID SPRAYED CONTINUOUSLY. I CALLED DODGE CHRYSLER CORPORATION TO SEE IF THEY COULD OFFER ASSISTANCE. THEY TOLD ME WHICH FUSES TO PULL. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO STOP THE HORN, THEN PULLED THE FUSES AND RECONNECTED THE BATTERY. I WAS ABLE TO REPLACE THE FUSES AND DRIVE HOME. DODGE CHRYSLER TOLD ME TO CONTACT MY DEALER IF IT DID IT AGAIN. ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2013. I ATTEMPTED TO UNLOCK MY CAR USING MY REMOTE KEY AND EVERYTHING HAPPENED AGAIN. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND PULLED THE FUSES BUT AFTER RECONNECTING THE BATTERY AND REINSTALLING THE FUSES, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. I CONTACTED DODGE CHRYSLER AND THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO MY LOCAL DEALER. I TOOK THE CAR IN FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING BUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NO CODES WERE STORED. I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE THAT EVENING AND WITHIN 3 MILES OF THE DEALERSHIP, MY NITRO HORN, WIPERS AND WASHER FLUID ALL ACTIVATED. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND LEFT MY CAR. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT DODGE CHRYSLER WOULD OFFER NO COST ASSISTANCE TO REPLACE A FAULTY TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE $750 REPAIR MYSELF. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS AND OTHER INCIDENTS INVOLVING THE TIPM FOR NOT ONLY DODGE BUT CHRYSLER AND JEEP PRODUCTS. DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP CORPORATION NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

WITHOUT WARNING OR VEHICLE HESITATION, THE MOTOR STALLED AND I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES.

VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) HAD FAILED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $625.00 +$85.00 TO THE TOWING COMPANY. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE WIPER RELAYS TWICE (WHICH ARE PART OF SAFETY RECALL J28) ONCE BEFORE THE RECALL UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW HAD IT REPLACED WITH THE TIPM. SINCE THE WIPER RELAY IS PART OF THE TIPM, I WONDER IF THE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE TIPM IS RELATED OR MAYBE FAULTY TIPM;S ARE CAUSING THE WIPER RELAY PROBLEM.
