NHTSA Complaint #10511746 — 2007 DODGE NITRO

AIR BAGS WENT OFF WHEN THE DRIVESHAFT JUST BLEW BECAUSE APPARENTLY IT WAS MADE OUT OF ALUMINUM WHICH IS MAGNETIC AND CAUSES IT TO WEAR QUICKLY AND DRAWS OTHER PARTS TO IT CAUSING IT TO RUB AND RUPTURE; ALSO THE A/C ALWAYS GOES OUT. I HAD IT REPAIRED 3 TIMES ALL FOR FREON LEAKS. NOTHING GETS COVERED BECAUSE NOT ALL OF THE VEHICLES WERE MADE WITH THIS TERRIBLE ALUMINUM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!!! I WAS ONLY GOING 40 MPH ON A SIDE ROAD WHEN THIS BLEW WITH MY GIRLFRIEND IN THE CAR. THE DRIVESHAFT BLEW, SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. SHE INJURED HER NECK AND BACK FROM THE JOLT. THERE IS NO REASON CORNERS SHOULD BE CUT TO MAKE A CHEAPER VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE! *TR
