NHTSA Complaint #10794703 — 2011 DODGE NITRO

MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT DUE TO A FAILURE WITH A DEFECTIVE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER MAKING THE REPAIR WIRES LEADING TO THE ALTERNATOR AND WIRES LEADING TO THE PCM WERE FRIED. THE WIRING ISSUE APPEAR TO BE A FIRE HAZARD. MY FIRST CONCERN IS THIS DEFECTIVE PART HAS CAUSED ME ABOUT $2,000 IN REPAIRS FROM REPLACING THE BATTERY, 2 ALTERNATORS AND TOWING. MY SECOND CONCERN IS THAT IN BOTH SITUATIONS THE CAR DIED ON ME IN TRAFFIC ONE ON A SIX LANE ROAD AND ANOTHER TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. I ALSO HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE MOTOR DIED WITH ONLY 30K MILES ON IT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
