Nitro 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 7,000 miles
While driving the 2007 Dodge Nitro rt at about 50-55 mph on a phoenix freeway during rush hour traffic all the warning lights came on, the radio and air conditioning (A/C) stopped, and it seemed like the vehicle was stalling. About 2-3 seconds later the radio and A/C came back on, and the lights on the dashboard went back to normal. It should be noted that I had lifted my foot off the gas as I approached some traffic. Also, I frequent an online site called nitroforumz.com and as of today there were thirty three pages about this problem with numerous complaints of the same problem.

Nitro 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,619 miles
With only 4,500 miles on my 2007 Dodge Nitro, the entire engine stalled, died, while I was driving to work, going about 45 miles per hour. Power loss was complete, no radio, no engine, all lights on the instrument panel came on. The outage lasted about, I guess 30 secs to 1 minute, then the engine came back on as did the radio. I was in heavy traffic, on the inside lane and had it not restarted, I was in a wreck for sure as a big truck was behind me, another car next to me in the outside lane. I have taken it to the dealer which says it could be the ignition switch, but after reading for hours on the Dodge Nitro forum, I find that many have experienced this same issue and not one dealer has been able to find a fix. I have had this vehicle in the shop 7 times since I bought it. All of the problems are a problem for me as this is my only vehicle and being single, I have no other transportation to my teaching job. But this stalling issue, if not fixed, will lead to a major accident any day. Chrysler need to be actively pursuing a fix or a recall for this problem before someone is killed.
