In owners' words
What Nitro 4X2 owners report
Recent electrical system complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
THE DRIVER SIDE BREAK LIGHT AND REVERSE LIGHT HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED TOO FREQUENTLY. NOW THE GEAR SHIFT - DIAG CODE U0103 SEEMS TO CAUSE THE LOSS OF COMMUNICATION OF THE GEAR POSITION. THAT ONLY ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO ONLY TRAVEL ABOUT 20MPH AND APPROX 3000 RPM, WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THERE…
ELECTRONICAL ISSUES, LIKE I'M UNABLE T OK OPEN TRUNK OR LOCK AND UNLOCK VEHICLE WITH KEYS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AS WELL AS AN EXCLAMATION POINT TURNS ON AND OF WHILE CAR IS ON DRIVE. AIRBAG LIGHT DOESN'T TURN OFF EVEN IF BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER HAVE SEATBELTS ON IT BEEPS WHILE DRIVING
FOR OVER THE LAST YEAR MY CAR HAS BEEN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON ITS OWN. MY HORN HAD BEEN SOUNDING OFF EVEN WHILE IM DRIVING WITHOUT ME UTILIZING THE HORN AND EVEN WHEN IM AT HOME WITHOUT THE ALARM ON. I ALSO HAVE HAD REPAET ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHT AND TAILLIGHTS BECAUSE THE WIRES KEEP BURNING OUT.
