Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 DODGE NITRO AND FELT A JERK THEN AIR BAG TRIED TO DEPLOY AND VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT DID THIS TWICE AND AIR BAG ON DRIVERS SIDE IS TRYING TO DEPLOY WITH LIGHT AND DINGING EVERY TIME DRIVEN. THE GAS CAP WILL NOT SEAL CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO STAY ON AND THERE HAS BEEN CONTANT ELECTRIC ISSUES. HEAD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS HAVE TO NOW BE CONSTANTLY REPLACED AND AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS COMING ON WITH DINGING NOISE. I BELIEVE I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DRIVE TRAIN AND SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE ALL RECALLS IN THIS YEAR OF DODGE NITRO.
