| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought the 2007 dodge nitro in november 2006. i had several problems with this car. brakes made a horrible squeaking noise, passenger window rolled down, but not up intermittently, very cheap interior, these were all small problems . but, 8 times now have been driving at various speeds between 30 and 70 mph and the vehicle had shut off with no warning. the vehicle coasted some where between 10 and 30 seconds and then came back on. while the vehicle was off electrical system shut off, including the power steering. the first time i took to dealer, they said there was a recall just that day so they apparently performed the recall repairs and gave the car back. a few days later this happened again, and they wouldn't even give the car back to us because they considered it unsafe to drive. this happened probably three times. the beginning of july when it happened again they miraculously that morning received another recall on the vehicle. i guess the first one didn't work so they kept the car for a week supposedly fixed it and 5 days later it happened again. my husband drove it to the dealer ,and the service representative knew of us by first name at this point. saw him driving in and ran to the vehicle telling my husband that there was now a recall on the last recall!!! i have two children, the youngest being 16 months. and the oldest twelve. i didn't feel safe driving this car alone let alone with my children. the service manager told my husband today that we should contact chrysler to begin the buy back procedure. i did contact them ,and they could take all information over the phone and start the review process. i would encourage everyone experiencing the same problems to contact chrysler and make them accountable. don't let you or your children lives become endangered. if this problem continued someone will end losing his life. *ak |
