NHTSA Complaint #11241829 — 2007 DODGE NITRO

DRIVING MY 2007 DODGE NITRO ON A SECONDARY ROAD TWICE AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 75 I HAD A LOSS OF POWER, PUT MY PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING. THIS WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2007 BUT OF COURSE MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED AND IT EXPIRED. HOW CAN YOU DETERMINE WHICH VEHICLE AND WHEN IT WILL BE AFFECTED WHEN YOU SEND OUT A RECALL? I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE SECOND HAND AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID OR DID NOT HAVE DONE. I DRIVE MY ELDERLY MOTHER AND GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I DO NOT FEEL SAFE.WHEN I CALLED I WAS TOLD "TOO BAD" SO NOW IT COSTS ME 1200.00 FOR A SAFETY RECALL THAT SHOULD BE HONORED ON ALL OF CHRYSLER VEHICLES. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE IN THE CHRYSLER FAMILY WILL NOT HAVE A BAD OUTCOME IN ONE OF THEIR FAULTY VEHICLES.
