Has anyone out there had any transmission shuddering, 4-wheel drive shuddering with their 2007 Dodge Nitro. I have had my Nitro in the shop 4 times for this problem and they keep saying all it needs is to have the computer "flashed", but this has not corrected the problem........also, while driving 55-60 miles per hour sometimes a beeping sound is heard and all the dash lights come on, brake light, seat belt light ( as if you have just turned the key to start the car), the last 2 times it has done this the radio has cut off, but the car does not seem to lose power. It is going back into the shop again tomorrow for this same problem, but of course the dealer says he has no "bulletins about this problem and actually suggested that the car is "possessed".....................I think this is the only Nitro I will ever own. Had a 2004 Durango before this and it was wonderful......should have my head examined for trading!!!!!!!!

Replying to: rfloyd4 (Feb 06, 2007 10:30 am) I have only used the 4 wheel drive one time and it drove about 10 miles and then shuddered so bad I had to stop and try to pull out again and finally put it back into 2 wheel drive to go on my way.......in 10 inches of snow!!! Of course the dealer found no problem with it.............if I slow down going up a hill there is a transmission shudder and vibration of the whole car.......this is a continuing problem everytime I drive the vehicle. I have also had problems with the dash lights coming on while driving at 55-60 miles an hour, and the radio cuts off when this happens. It only lasts about 10 seconds and then the lights go off.....as of yet I have not lost power during these episodes........the dealer finds no problems to repair for this either....suggests the car is "possessed". |

Replying to: barbara22 (May 21, 2008 11:12 am) I am having a lot problems with the vibration in the engine at a steady speed 40-45. there is a definate problem with the Nitro 3.7 and Chrysler is not on top of it. At one point they told me there was not fix Here is what they have done 4/18 Torch Converter replaced. did not work Reprogrammed power train 4/18 Gas additive - Did not work 4/18 5/3 tansmission Friction Modifier 5/3 - Did not work 5/9 Cylinoid pack for Torch Converter which Made it worst, Darin said the factory thinks its a bad Torch converter and is shipping another one. 5/12 Picked up from Dodge and was told to pursue the Lemon Law on this car 5/12. Was told Their is a problem and the factory has no fix for it. ( see purchase order included) 5/15 sent certified letter to diamler defect notification. 5/27 factory called and wanted to attempt more repairs they have representative in town. I was told that, that did not work but they want to keep another day to work which is today) 5/28 Chrysler factory technician came in to work ont the car. this is what he did Applied TSB 02-005-07 - No change (Chrysler tech words) Adjust front and rear suspension -- no changes Shimmed transmission crossmember 1/2” to change angle - a little better Shimmed it another 1/2” - no better (Chrysler tech words) Shimmed it another 3/8” (Chrysler tech words) Swapped out drive shaft for a stock unit - no change (Chrysler tech words) Repositioned rear support links to adjust pinon angle - a little better (Chrysler tech words) Replaced crankshaft damper - good (Chrysler tech words) The dealer ship said I could pick the car up and that it was 90% better. I drove it and Instead of vibrating at 40-45mph it does it 44-46 mph I am getting everything together an contacting an attorney.
