What owners wrote
Last friday evening I left downtown columbus headed north to the subarbs and I had been driving for appx 1 hr with temperatures around 35 degrees that evening. I parked my 2007 dodge nitro 4x4 in the residential driveway, locked it with the remote doorlock, and went inside. Appx. 1 hr and 35 minutes later I went back outside to bring in several items from my truck and suddenly see the shocking situation unfolding before my eyes. In total disbelief, I realize that the entire inside of my truck is violently burning.
My vehicle completely shut down twice while I was driving. Another problem I have with this vehicle is that the car unlocks by itself, turning on the headlights and draining the battery. This has happened several times recently and is very frustrating.
