Description of the problem | I have been a police officer for over 21 plus years of my life worse dodge vehicle i have ever owned. This vehicle is a 2008 dodge nitro. I am praying that this will help before somebody gets killed in this vehicle. The road noise in this vehicle is so loud u cant hear yourself talk. The vehicle started shooting wiper fluid driving down the roadway, turned windshield wipers on and they don't work. Stopped the vehicle without wrecking because of traffic they come on and wont turn off. Horn goes off all the time going down the roadway. The headlights will turn off without any notice. The transmission will stop shifting, stops u in the roadway. The back running lights go off and on. The air conditioner has now stopped working. The window will roll down at any given time. This has happened several times in rain storms where nothing works vehicle will shut off. I know the 2007 had a recall on the tipm but nothing yet on the 2008. I had this vehicle in the shop sense may i had no other means of getting to work so i'm driving this vehicle now and letting my wife drive my truck. The mechanic said i should sell this death trap. I cant do that i will trust that someone on this site will help. Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you. Please help with getting these problem placed on an active recall. Been making payments on a vehicle i cant even drive. I would even be glad to let yall run test on this vehicle. They call me moparlawman. I don't know how long i can stay fateful to a company putting vehicles out for sale like this. Thanks *js |
