When i tried to start the dodge nitro the doors locked , horn blows, wipers and fluid run. and now the car wont start at all. unhooked the battery terminal and hooked it back up, doors all lock with keys inside. there was a recall on 2007 nitros for the same reasons. why wont they fix the 2008 models as well. there really needs to be a recall on this
The door locks for the rear doors do not work. the engine heater core also stopped providing heat to the car. even after cleaning it out.
2008 dodge nitro with 80,000 miles driving in town and all the dash warning lights came on blinking and the engine almost stalled. it continued while driving it. took it to mechanic next day but lights were not on. 3 pages of "lost communication" codes printed. mechanic said it was most likely the main computer but the lights were not on so they couldn't fix. the next day lights all came back on driving on highway car almost stalled and it wouldn't shift. we drove it straight to mechanic. it would not restart. thankfully it was parked at this time. mechanic said it's the main computer module and will cost $1500-$2500 to fix. if it died while we were driving it would have been tragic! it has under 100,000 miles this should not have happened already. we did not take pictures of all the warning lights that would be the only evidence we have. we can upload a bill once we get it.
