Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A 2007 DODGE NITRO. I NOTICED AFTER I BOUGHT IT THERE WAS HESITATION WHEN IT GOT TO ABOUT 40 MPH. I ALSO EXPERIENCED WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT THAT THE RPM WOULD DROP WAY DOWN AND THE CAR WOULD ALMOST STALL THEN RPM WOULD COME RIGHT BACK UP. MY HEAT QUIT WORKING ALONG WITH THE DOOR LOCKS AND THE WASHER FLUID WOULD NOT SPRAY OUT. I CHECKED THE FUSE AND ONE WAS BLOWN SO I CHANGED IT, THAT ONE BLEW AS WELL AND ALL POWER TO THE CAR WAS LOST. COME TO FIND OUT THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAY THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFE TIME OF VEHICLE. I AM LUCKY MY CAR DIDN'T CATCH FIRE AS A RESULT OF THIS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THERE WERE ACTUALLY WIRES MELTING UNDER THE FUSE BOX. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON THIS. I HAVE OWNED A DODGE RAM BEFORE AND LOVED IT THAT'S WHY I WENT WITH DODGE AGAIN BUT NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS IN THE 4 MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. *TR
