On 5/24/2019 jones junction t/a jones chrysler jeep dodge diagnosed my 2009 dodge nitro with a failing front drive shaft (the assembly from the transfer case to the differential joint) and recommended immediate replacement. I was told not to drive the vehicle because there was a safety concern that the joint inside the boot could completely fail and the solid metal shaft would drop and snag the road. The part (#52853363af) has been on backorder with dodge chrysler since late may. First delivery date quoted was 6/7/19, then 6/20/19, and now 7/7/19. I have no answers to when this issue will be resolved and when the vehicle will be safe to drive again.

Takata recall / several times my 4WD will get a service 4WD light and I will lose 4WD. This time I was sitting still in neutral and turned my selector switch from 2WD to 4WD and received the serv 4WD light. Dodge dealership as well as locally owned shops are at a loss of what's wrong. After many searches online I find I am not the only person with this problem and no answer. Also, the security light IS flashing, windshield wipers going crazy, horn blaring, and washer fluid squirting our randomly for a long period of time. Help!!! Dodge says 4WD should be fine but IS not... I only have 2WD and the service light IS still on.

While driving over ice on the winter I was approaching a stop sign. I pressed on my brakes lightly to avoid sliding over the ice, the vehicle still slided and, the ABS, bas, brake and slippery lights turned on immediately after it came to a complete stop and the push back on the brakes stopped working. The lights turn off for a week or so and then they turn back on.

The dash lights went off then back on, the headlights went off then back on, the wipers turned on by themselves, engine turned off while going down the road at 60mph, starter keeps turning after the key IS removed, doors lock by themselves with nobody around, and now it wont start. It just cranks over.

While using the remote key to lock/unlock the care, the horn starts blaring, the wipers (front and rear) start going, washer fluid shoots out, doors lock and unlock independently. doors will not unlock/lock with remote. the lights start blinking. I have to physically unlock the car and quickly open before it locks again. the second time my son was driving on the highway and this all occurred while he was driving at night. he was able to pull over but was clearly shook up. when turning on the engine the horn starts blaring again, with lights blinking. if he tuned on/off the windshield wipers the horn starts blaring and the lights start flashing. When pressing the actual door lock the horn starts blaring. it took 3 restarts to try to continue the drive. it IS clearly unsafe to drive this vehicle and IS negligent on our part to try to do so. this IS are main source of transportation. I am really scared of what could happen should the entire system shut down on the highway. what if the steering goes out again and someone IS killed? I looked up similar issues and found that there were numerous other complaints regarding 2008 and 2009 dodge nitros. The diagnosis IS apparently a faulty tipm. there appears to be a national backorder on this part and despite this, still no recall for the 2008-2009 models only the 2010-2012 have been issued. I purchased a dodge because I truly felt that it was a great vehicle and I am worried and disappointed that they are not standing behind their products. what will it take? how many deaths or near freak accidents before they actually make this right?

After locking the vehicle you come back and unlock it and put in the key and it will not allow you to start the vehicle. This has happened to my husbands car on 3 separate incidents the first time they removed the after market alarm and said that caused the second time they removed another part the 3RD time 2 years later they stated it was a different part when I found the following online dodge nitro problem 26 reports me too model years affected: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 average mileage: 67,977 mi (41,000 mi - 107,232 mi) verified the anti-theft system may cause a no start condition due to electrostatic discharge (esd) affecting the wireless control module (wcm). There IS an updated wcm to correct this issue. when I asked about it the dealer told me not to believe blogs and if I had an issue contact dodge when I contacted dodge and asked if this was a known issue I was told they could not help and to ask the dealer.

I was driving the vehicle. I came to a complete stop at a stop sign. for no apparent reason, the air bag light came on and stayed on. I consulted with the manufacturer dealer where the vehicle was purchased. the dealer claimed there was no recall for the nitro air bag when in fact chrysler mini-vans were under recall for a clock spring which IS probably the same part used in the nitro. took it to the dealer and was told IS could be several things beginning with a switch in one seat. replaced the switch and the light IS still on. these parts are $200-400 a piece times two seats because both seats activate the air bags sensors. More importantly, no guaranteed that this IS a solution to the problem. basically, dealer IS no sure why the air bag light IS on. called chrysler customer car they had no answers plus I was told anyone that could help me would require a 24 hour time lapse before they would actually call me back. clerk on the other end of line was asking me what should they do for me to fix the problem. *tr

While pumping my gas the gas began to backflow up in poor everywhere and all over the car and the ground at the gas station and on my hands. This clearly IS unsafe for one it IS a huge fire hazard it IS dangerous towards ones health and also the environment. I have read elsewhere of other people numerous people with this same issue since 2007 in chrysler vehicles and am unsure why they would not yet have a recall on this issue by now. With that said I definitely think that someone needs to put a stop to this fire hazard before some one IS seriously injured. I guess they are waiting for something "dangerous" such as some one seriously getting burned before they actually take this issue seriously.

- Totally Integrated Power Module Failure
In a letter dated August 21, 2014, the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to initiate a defect investigation of alleged failures associated with the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) installed in Chrysler SUV?s, trucks, and vans beginning in the 2007…
In a letter dated August 21, 2014, the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to initiate a defect investigation of alleged failures associated with the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) installed in Chrysler SUV?s, trucks, and vans beginning in the 2007 model year. The petitioner alleges that TIPM defects may result in engine stall, airbag non-deployment, failure of fuel pump shutoff resulting in unintended acceleration, fire, and other symptoms. On September 25, 2014, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened DP14-004 to evaluate the petition for a grant or deny decision. ODI analyzed complaint data provided by CAS as well as complaints submitted to ODI from consumers. In total, there were 296 complaints submitted by the petitioner in the original petition and five supplements, including 271 complaints related to the subject vehicles equipped with TIPM-7. Approximately 3 percent of CAS complaints are related to vehicles equipped with TIPM-6 and ODI?s review of these complaints did not identify any safety defect trends. ODI conducted a detailed review of complaints narratives submitted by CAS and consumers including careful analysis of vehicle repair histories, warranty claims obtained from the manufacturer and any available Customer Assistance Inquiry reports (CAIR). Analysis of the field data indicated that MY2011-2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles exhibited significantly higher complaint rates related to fuel pump relay (FPR) failures than other subject vehicles. In a September 3, 2014 letter to NHTSA, Chrysler submitted a Defect Information Report (DIR) identifying a defect in the FPR within the TIPM-7 which can result in a no start or stall condition in approximately 188,723 model year (MY) 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK) and Dodge Durango (WD) vehicles manufactured from January 5, 2010 through July 20, 2011 (14V-530).In a February 24, 2015 letter, Chrysler submitted a second DIR expanding the scope of the FPR defect condition to include an additional 338,216 MY 2012 through 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured from September 17, 2010 through August 19, 2013 and MY 2012 through 2013 Dodge Durango vehicles manufactured from January 18, 2011 through August 19, 2013 (15V-115).ODI analysis of the CAS allegations of TIPM defects resulting in stall while driving, airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration, fire and other faults identified a single defect condition related to 1 of over 60 different circuits in the TIPM assembly. The most common effect of this defect condition, related to the fuel pump relay, was a no-start concern, but it could also result in stall while driving (76 complaints). No valid evidence was presented in support of claims related to airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration or fire resulting from TIPM faults and these claims were found to be wholly without merit based on review of the field data and design of the relevant systems and components.Except insofar as the petitioner's contentions relate to the defect condition addressed by the Chrysler recalls, the factual bases of the petitioner's contentions that any further investigation is necessary are unsupported. In our view, additional investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists or a NHTSA order for the notification and remedy of a safety-related defect as alleged by the petitioner at the conclusion of the requested investigation. Therefore, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the agency's safety mission, the petition is den

All 3.6L/62TE equipped vehicles. If the vehicle you are repairing has a crack in the flex plate or failed pump bushing inspect and confirm that both (2) dowel pins are present in the engine block, which align the transmission center line to the crank shaft centerline and visually inspect the dowel alignment holes in the transmission case. If the holes are damaged or elongated the transmission should be replaced to prevent further damage to the transmission/flexplate or pump bushing due to the inability to properly align the engine to the transmission during the repair. 3. All 62TE equipped vehicles. If pump bushing is scored or damaged and the dowel pin alignment holes are ok, replace the pump assembly as opposed to complete transmission. 4. All 62TE equipped vehicles. If vehicle is jerking/slipping with MIL code(s) P0740 or P2764, check TCC Solenoid operation. If TCC Solenoid is ok, the codes are indicative of a torque converter failure. Replace the torque converter.
