WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF. NO LIGHTS ON DASH OR WARNING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES.

TAKATA RECALL- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT MY HOME WHEN I USE MY KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOORS IT TURN THE LIGHTS ON IN MY DASH AND SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, BUT THE DOORS IS STILL LOCK. THEN ONCE I GET INSIDE MY ENGINE LIGHTS STAYS ON.

NO AIR CONDITIOINING PAYING 400.00 EACH YEAR FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS,ONLY TO GET AIR FOR TEN MINUTES. SECONDLY I HEARD ON TV THAT NITRO 2007 HAD A RECALL. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION IN THE MAIL. HOW MANY TIMES DO I PAY ALL OF THIS MONEY GETTING NO RESULTS.
