What owners wrote
Uncontrolled accelleration of 2007 dodge nitro, w/3.7 litre, has happened 5 times in six months of owning . Cant be fixed by dealer cause doesn't show code or able to duplicate when they have it , only way to stop it is to put in neutral and kill engine . Have had other problems like idle rough and surging , and like someone turning key off and on for split second while driving at highway speeds. There has not been any pattern to when sudden acel happens , it has been random and can seemingly happen w/out notice.
Fuel tank burps back after pump clicks off spilling approx. A quart of gas on the side of vehicle and the ground. 2007 dodge nitro 4x4.
