| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: With only 4,500 miles on my 2007 dodge nitro, the entire engine stalled, died, while i was driving to work, going about 45 miles per hour. power loss was complete, no radio, no engine, all lights on the instrument panel came on. the outage lasted about , i guess 30 secs to 1 minute, then the engine came back on as did the radio. i was in heavy traffic, on the inside lane and had it not restarted, i was in a wreck for sure as a big truck was behind me, another car next to me in the outside lane. i have taken it to the dealer which says it could be the ignition switch, but after reading for hours on the dodge nitro forum, i find that many have experienced this same issue and not one dealer has been able to find a fix. i have had this vehicle in the shop 7 times since i bought it. all of the problems are a problem for me as this is my only vehicle and being single, i have no other transportation to my teaching job. but this stalling issue, if not fixed, will lead to a major accident any day. chrysler need to be actively pursuing a fix or a recall for this problem before someone is killed. *tr |
