NHTSA Complaint #10356741 — 2007 DODGE NITRO

I PURCHASED A '07 DODGE NITRO BACK IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. RECENTLY IT BEGAN DOING A "SHUT OFF" WHILE GOING ABOUT 80 MPH, DID THAT TWICE WITHIN A FEW MINUTES, SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. THE NEXT DAY IT STALLED WHILE TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, EACH TIME IT HAS STARTED RIGHT BACK UP ON ITS OWN NO PROBLEM. LAST NIGHT I WENT TO GO PICK UP MY SON FROM CLASS GO TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND GOT NO RESPONSE, TRUCK WAS DEAD AS DEAD CAN GET. HAD MY HUSBAND JUMP IT AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS MORNING IT WENT DEAD AGAIN WHILE I WAS WAITING IN A DRIVE-THRU LINE, HAD PEOPLE YELLING AT ME RATHER THEN ASKING IF I NEEDED HELP, FINALLY FLAGGED SOMEONE DOWN AND GOT A JUMP, AGAIN STARTED RIGHT UP NO PROBLEM. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR TIPM ON VEHICLES BUILT BEFORE JANUARY 23, 2007. MINE WAS BUILT IN NOVEMBER OF '06 BUT WHEN I CHECKED THE DODGE SITE AND ENTERED MY VIN AS IT INSTRUCTED IT ONLY PULLED UP THE WIPER RELAY RECALL. I THEN CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM ABOUT MY ISSUE AND HOW I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON CERTAIN VEHICLES FOR THE TIPM CAUSING IT TO STALL OUT, THEY TOLD ME THERE NEVER WAS SUCH A RECALL AND THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THAT EVER HAPPENING. I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT( IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY) AND PRINTED OUT THE RECALL TO SHOW THEM WHEN I GET THERE, UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T GET IN UNTIL THURSDAY WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO DRIVE SCARED OUT OF MY WITS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. IF IT ISN'T FIXABLE THEN I MAY HAVE TO LOOK INTO GETTING RID OF MY BELOVED NITRO AS I CANNOT HAVE THIS HAPPENING WHEN I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. *TR
