Consumer Description

THE DODGE NITRO HAS TO BE THE MOST POORLY MADE CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. THEY JUST REPLACED MY ENTIRE GAS TANK 2 WEEKS AGO AND ANOTHER LETTER CAME IN THE MAIL, REGARDING A RECALL WITH THE DRIVE SHAFT. SO FAR 2 RECALLS AND NOW MY CAR IS UNLOCKING ITSELF AND TURNING ON ITS INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON ITS OWN. MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND KEYS IN THE HOUSE. A YOUNG MAN FROM NEXT DOOR CAME TO MY DOOR TO INFORM ME THAT MY LIGHTS WERE ON. WE LOCKED THE DOORS AND WATCHED THE LIGHTS GO OFF, ONLY TO FIND THEM BACK ON AN HOUR LATER AND DOORS UNLOCKED. WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING TO FIND MY CAR DEAD. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY AND REPLACED IT FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 5 YEARS, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. A FRIEND OF MINE ALSO HAS A NITRO THAT EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. SHE HAD TO PAY $600 FOR THEM TO REWIRE HER CAR. *TR
