NHTSA Complaint #10554662 — 2007 DODGE NITRO

IN JULY 2013 MY HUSBAND AND I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 70 THE NITRO SHUT OFF AND DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. HE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. NO PROBLEM SHUTTING OFF AGAIN UNTIL NOVEMBER 9, 2013. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILDREN ABOUT 65 AND IT SHUT OFF. ONCE AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DODGE DEALER THIS TIME THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THE SERVICE GUY INFORMED US THAT THEY HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING WRONG AND THEY WERE IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND AS SOON AS THEY FIND THE PROBLEM THEY WOULD CONTACT US. AFTER A WEEK THE SERVICE GUY CALLED AND SAID THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CHRYSLER AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT. HE STATED "THAT CHRYSLER WANTS THE COILS REPLACED BUT NOT SURE IF THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVEN'T FOUND." THE REPAIR WASN'T COVERED BY THE WARRANTY SO WE PAID THE $400. SO FAR SO GOOD BUT IT WAS 4 MONTHS FROM THE INITIAL SHUT OFF BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED!!! *TR
