Consumer Description
3 WEEKS AFTER HAVING MY 2011 DODGE NITRO DETENATOR WOULD STICK BETWEEN GEARS, AT BOTH SLOW AND HIGH SPEEDS AND I WAS BURNNING THROUGH GAS WAY TOO FAST. NISSIAN FOUND MY TANSMITTION OIL TO BE BLACK, I PAID FOR FLUSH AND TOLD IT WAS GOOD TO GO. NEXT DAY THE CAR DIED, THE THROTTLE BODY INDICATOR CAME ON, THIS WAS FIXED, STILL BURNING THROUGH GAS! COUPLE WEEKS LATER NOW IT SOUNDS LIKE A DISEL ENGINE IDLE, I CAN NOT AFFORD ALL THESE PROBLEMS. I FOUND SEVERAL OWNERS OF THIS CAR HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEMS ALONG WITH ELECTRICAL AS I HAVE HAD AS WELL, MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CUTS OUT RANDOMLY AND A FEW TIMES MY KIDS AND I HAVE SMELT WHAT SEEMED TO BE THAT OF BURNT RUBBER OR SOMETHING. IM VERY DISPLEASED AND UPSET WITH MY PURCHASE.
