Problems with 2007 Dodge Nitro AIR BAGS

My passenger air bag light came on and want go off when i started my vehicle. sure i be worry?

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.

White plastic strip to airbag coming out from behind steering, takata recall white strip coming out behind steering, speed control not working, horn will not blow, strip is getting longer and is hard to turn steering wheel, on city street and highway

I have already put in problem to this web site but no answers so far, i have a 2007 dodge nitro slt that the air bag strips are hanging out behind my steering wheel and now my horn does not blow, my speed control is not working, and the white strip is interfering with my steering could you please have my car recalled for takata air bag it was on a city street while making a turn.

The light w/ the airbag and seat belt sign on dashboard are on for the last several months. it worries me because my teenage twin daughters drive this car. secondly, we had work on the car done less than a year to fix shifting cables or something to that affect, to where dealership had to take the complete dash out and ever since the light has been on. not to mention the rattling that goes with it. we do not feel safe driving this car because i am trying to prevent from something actually happening whether we are stationary or driving. it also makes a dinging sound when light comes on.

The air bag light keeps coming on and going off sporadically with out provocation, upon contacting dodge they tell me my vehicle isn't part of the recall on air bags for the 2007 nitro - really - so if this air bag explodes without reason who is going to assist me then? obviously after doing some research most nitro's had this problem and they should all be included in this recall. *tr

I had slowed down to look for an address on a dead end street which abutted up to a chain link fence and an embankment just off of i-5 in lakewood, washington. my 83 year old mother was riding in the passenger seat. my nitro rapidly accelerating to approximately 70-80 mph. i crashed through a chain link fence and struck a tree. if it wasn't for the tree i would have ended up on i-5 and possibly collided with northbound traffic. the airbags did not deploy. however i believe this was due to primarily striking the right front side of the car. my mother sustained bruising due to the seat back tightening up and generalized soft tissue injury. i sustained neck, back, left shoulder and leg soreness. my car had 51,000 miles on it. usaa totaled my car. i look on the internet and noticed several other complaints regarding this same issue. in addition to this, i never received a recall regarding this issue. *tr

My child and i were in an accident that resulted in the complete loss of our vehicle. the bottom of car was leaking and it according to bystanders caught fire. the complaint that i have is the fact that i received the recall notice for my vehicle back in the month of may and called the local dealership for 3 months to schedule the safety recall repair of the underbody transmission tunnel shield, but every time i called i was told the parts were not available for the 3 months i tried to follow up only to learn that the transmission was leaking during the accident. i was and am really disappointed at the continuous recall notices after the fact of my attempts. please correct this problem with the dealerships immediately. thank you *tr

We ended up headed towards the sky and took a hard head nose into the earth. we then came up turned in the other directions rocking and rolling in a dry shallow creek bed in nevada. we went up again and landed with two flat tires, in gear, going no where. my air bag did not deploy! my hubby had a huge laceration on the inside of his forearm. found out later in emergency that the dodge emblem propelled into his arm. the emblem is very concerning. it could have knocked out his eye, entered his heart or even slashed his throat. it should be removed from all dodges. *tr

Air bags went off when the driveshaft just blew because apparently it was made out of aluminum which is magnetic and causes it to wear quickly and draws other parts to it causing it to rub and rupture; also the a/c always goes out. i had it repaired 3 times all for freon leaks. nothing gets covered because not all of the vehicles were made with this terrible aluminum. this is a huge safety hazard!!! i was only going 40 mph on a side road when this blew with my girlfriend in the car. the driveshaft blew, side airbags deployed. she injured her neck and back from the jolt. there is no reason corners should be cut to make a cheaper vehicle that is unsafe! *tr
