problem #2

Nitro 3.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

My door locks stopped working at about 80,000 miles just like everybody else. The only door with a manual lock is the drivers side door and the hatchback does not have one at all so I can never lock my Nitro completely.

The windshield washer fluid does not work either. I want to know how this is not a safety problem??? Someone can access my vehicle at any time. If I am in a dust or mud storm I have no way of cleaning my windshield!! When I called Dodge they wanted me to pay to have it evaluated by a technician! What nerve! I loved my Nitro until all of this happened. Everyone in my family has a Dodge but this will be the last one I ever buy. If anybody from Dodge cares or is listening PLEASE DO A RECALL!!!!!!!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!!!

Nitro SLT 3.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 84,000 miles

My 2008 Dodge Nitro door locks quit working. The car will still honk when you press the lock button on the key fob and the lights flash when you press unlock. The door lock/unlock switches inside the car are useless as well.
