Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Had my car into dealer 2 times for the same problem. it shuts down while in motion. have had 5 incidents of stalling. the 5th time was the same thing, it completely shut down. unable to steer and brake. i ran off the road, through a chain link fence, down an imbankment into somebody's back yard, the only thing stopping my vehicle was a large car trailer. i was slightly injured (bruising). it is my opinion that dodge has a serious safety issue here, that they are not addressing. the dealer has made failed attempts to fix the problem by replacing the torque convertor and the clk spring. i now have a brand new crashed car. i could have killed someone or myself. searching the your nhtsa site, i have found 32 complaints for this stalling problem on all dodge nitro models listed on this site. why hasn't nhtsa insisted on a recall of these vehicles or at least a warning to the drivers, this appears to be negligence on your part. please contact me as to why no action has been taken.
