DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, CAR STALLED, ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, CAR RESTARTED. YESTERDAY THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME TRACTOR-TRAILER BEARING DOWN ON MY HUSBAND, HE TRIED FOR THE SHOULDER, HIT SOME DEBRIS THERE, BROKE THE FRONT FASCIA, CAR RESTARTED. MANY OCCURRENCES LISTED ON WWW.NITROFORUMZ.COM FROM MANY DODGE NITRO OWNERS AROUND COUNTRY AND IN CANADA. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, LIFE-THREATENING FLAW IN THE 2007 DODGE NITRO. *JB

WELL I BOUGHT MY 2007 DODGE NITRO IN JAN.07 AND AFTER 1 MONTH I ENCOUNTERED STALLING PROBLEMS, ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU WILL BE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH OR LESS AND THE ENGINE WOULD STALE OUT AND ALL LIGHTS COME ON THEN THE CAR MIGHT CONTINUE ON OR YOU HAVE TO RESTART IT. THE PROBLEM IS I ALMOST GOT T-BONED IN AN INTERSECTION WHICH COULD OF KILLED ME SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *JB

OVER THE LAST MONTH I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY DODGE NITRO SLT. THE MOST SERIOUS WAS IT SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. TWO LESS SERIOUS ISSUES WAS THE DRIVER'S WINDOW OFTEN STALLING AND A TSM ALERT SOUNDS. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME ISSUES.*AK
