Consumer Description

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE NEVER WORKED LIKE IT SHOULD, EVEN WHEN NEW, THE ELECTRIC WINDOW SWITCHES AND POWER DOOR LOCKS WORK WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT, AND THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES BREAK FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN POOR WORKMANSHIP AND POOR CHOICE OF MATERIALS (PLASTIC) RENDERING THEM USELESS. THESE ARE ALL KNOWN PROBLEMS FOR YEARS WITH DODGE NITROS . THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THEM FOR THESE REASONS, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL DANGEROUS. IT'S LIKE THE MONEY PIT. DODGE WANTS $150.00 PER DOOR JUST TO REPAIR THE HANDLE ASSEMBLIES. ARE THEY KIDDING ME? WHO MAKES A DOOR HANDLE OUT OF CHEAP PLASTIC? WE TAKE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE LIKE ITS A NEW CAR, AND NEVER ABUSE IT. IT HAS ONLY 60,000 MILES ON IT. THE FIRST DOOR HANDLE BROKE WITH 30,000 MILES. DODGE HAD BETTER DO SOMETHING BEFORE I NO LONGER OWN THIS VEHICLE OR I WILL CROSS THEM OFF MY LIST FOR GOOD. I HAVE NO PROBLEM GOING BACK TO FORD AND STAYING THERE.(OR HYUNDAI FOR THAT MATTER). *TR
