Consumer Description

2007 DODGE NITRO WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL NOT WORK. MY VEHICLE WARRANTY WILL BE UP ON 12-15-09. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER -ALL HE WANTED WAS TO SELL A BRAKE JOB. I REFUSED AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. HE SAID I COULD GET A BRAKE JOB IN A FEW MONTH, BUT THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT WORKING. THERE IS NO ADJUST FOR IT. THE LIGHT COMES ON IN THE DASH WHEN IT IS PULLED. I HAD NO REASON TO KNOW IT DOESN'T WORK, EXCEPT FOR THE INSPECTION DECLINED. I LIVE IN HOUSTON, TEXAS AND THERE ARE NO HILLS TO PARK ON . THE MAC HIAK SERVICE MAN SAID THEY WOULD NOT GET IT WORKING. PLEASE HELP ME, I ALREADY PUT OUT 39.75 FOR AN INSPECTION STICKER I CAN NOT GET FOR FAULTY MANUFACTURE DEFAULT PART. I HAVE READ ONLINE THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM YEAR AND MAKE WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I WILL ALSO NOTIFY THE DEALER, BB, AND ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE OF THIS REPORT THAT I HAVE SENT TO YOU. *TR
