Consumer Description

I OWN A 2007 DODGE NITRO. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM CORTEZ, CO IN SEPTEMBER 2007. WITHIN A WEEK OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I WAS PARKED ON A SMALL INCLINE, PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED FORWARD. I HAD TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES UNTIL WE WERE READY TO GO AGAIN. I HAVE TO DO THIS IN OTHER SITUATIONS OR JUST SHUT THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM AND IT WAS RECENT, PERHAPS WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. AGAIN, THE EMERGENCY BRAKES ARE FAILING. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN BECAUSE OF THIS BECAUSE AS BEFORE THEY WOULD SAY I HAVE TO BRING IT IN AND GET REPAIRS AT MY COST. THEIR EXPLANATION THE FIRST TIME A WEEK AFTER I GOT THIS VEHICLE WAS, " NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR." THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 50 MILES ON IT. *TR
