Consumer Description

I JUST GOT A USED 2007 DODGE NITRO IN OCT. 2016. I HAD IT 2 MONTHS I NOTICE THAT EVERY SO OFTEN I HAD TROUBLE WITH THE POWER DOOR LOCKS NOT WORKING. THEN AT 3 MONTHS I GO TAKE MY CHILD TO SCHOOL, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HORN GOES OFF, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS START GOING OFF AND SPITTING OUT FLUID, EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE STARTS GOING CRAZY AND THEN I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY SHARP CURVE WHEN THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF AND WILL NOT START BACK. I WAS ABLE TO GET PULLED OVER SAFE BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE I WAS IN A CURVE ON A MAJOR ROAD AND SCHOOL TIME RIGHT AT THE SCHOOL. HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) WENT OUT AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT $1000. NOW I SEE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT CHRYSLER NEVER PUT OUT A RECALL ON THIS OR THAT NOTHING WAS EVER DONE ABOUT IT. I PAID ALMOST $2000 FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART EITHER BECAUSE THEY SAY IT'S JUST A FUSE BOX. PLEASE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE OR SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF NOT ALREADY.
