Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH THE 2007 DODGE NITRO 4X4 STALLED AS I WAS ENTERING A RIGHT HAND CURVE. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND POWER TO THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID AN EMBANKMENT. THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST ON ITS LEFT SIDE AS IT ROLLED OFF THE EMBANKMENT. THIS RESULTED IN SUBSTANTIAL COSMETIC AND UNDERCARRIAGE DAMAGE. BOTH CEILING/ CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. POLICE AND AMBULANCE ARRIVED ON SCENE , AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST SHOP. THE NITRO STALLED A COUPLE OF INSTANCES BEFORE THIS CRASH AND WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION AND SERVICED BY THE LOCAL DEALER THAT IT WAS PURCHASED FROM.*AK
