Consumer Description

COMPLAINT CONCERNS ENGINE STALLS. DODGE NITRO (07) PURCHASED IN JANUARY 1. 2007. UNDER 5000 MILES ON CAR: IN MARCH WHILE DRIVING A T 65 MPH VEHICLE STALLED. DASH LIGHTS TURNED ON, CAR COASTED, THEN RESTARTED ON ITS OWN AFTER 2-3 SECONDS. SCARED THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME. DRIVING CONDITIONS, WET, MID-40S, NIGHT. NOTIFIED DEALER, BUT UNABLE TO SCHEDULE DUE TO UPCOMING 3-WEEK VACATION. SECOND INSTANCE MAY 21, DRIVING 65, FELT A 'CLUNG' CAR STALLED, COASTED TO COUNT OF 3-4 SECONDS, THEN CAR RE-STARTED. DEALER NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY, ALSO THAT CAR WAS SHIFTING ROUGH AND CLUNKY. MAY 24, DEALER CHECKED FOR TECH BULLETINS, WIPED OUT TRANSMISSION MODULE PROGRAMMING AND RE-PROGRAMMED. DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS FIXED...SOMETIMES STILL SHIFTS HARD, AND THERE WAS SOME TIME BETWEEN FIRST TWO ENGINE FAILURES. HAVE HAD OTHER LITTLE GLITCHES LIKE ONE CAR DOOR LOCK DOES NOT WORK WITH KEY FOB. I AM WEARY OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN AND ME BEING IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT...GOD HELP EVERYONE AT THAT POINT. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE AND GET THIS DONE IMMEDIATELY. OR RECALL CAR. *AK
