WHEN PUTTING FUEL INTO THE TANK AT A GAS STATION PUMP, THE FUEL DOESN'T STOP WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE CAR. DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM PUTTING FUEL INTO THE TANK. DODGE, YOU HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS SINCE 2008. WHY HAVE YOU NOT ISSUED A RECALL?

LAST NOVEMBER, YOU NOTIFIED ME OF A RECALL ON MY 2007 DODGE NITRO FOR THE DRIVER AIR BAG EMBLEM. I CALLED BILL LUKE DODGE IN PHOENIX FOR AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY SAID THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL DECEMBER, AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED. I HAVE NEVER BEEN CONTACTED . . . AND NOW YOU SENT ME A 2ND NOTICE. I CALLED BILL LUKE DODGE AGAIN AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS ON BACK ORDER NOW UNTIL JUNE. INSTEAD OF YOU SENDING ME PAST-DUE NOTICES, WHY DON'T YOU CALL THE DEALER TO GET THE PART AND PERFORM THE SERVICE. NOVEMBER TO JUNE WILL BE SEVEN MONTHS. THAT IS A LONG TIME FOR A SAFETY DELAY! AND I AM CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE BETWEEN YOU AND THE DEALER.

VEHICLE HAS122000 MILES. I AM SECOND OWNER,AND HAVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS. ABOUT 18 MTHS AGO VEHICLE BEGAN LOCKING/UNLOCKING ITSELF. ABOUT A YEAR AGO, IT STARTED SHUTTING DOWN ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING, RANDOMLY. 3 WEEKS AGO, ALL WARNING LIGHTS IN DASH AND ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN VEHICLE BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION, LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED. LOCAL GARAGE DIAGNOSIS WAS MALFUNCTIONING TIPM. REPAIR WAS COMPLETED AT $800 COST FOR REMANUFACTURED TIPM, AND PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.

I RECENTLY HAD A RANDOM DEPLOYMENT OF MY SIDE AIRBAGS. I WAS NOT IN A COLLISION AND HAD JUST DROVE OVER A POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. ALTHOUGH NO SERIOUS INJURIES, MY FAMILY AND I HAVE NECK SORENESS AND ARE SHAKEN. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED SPONTANEOUSLY ON A FREEWAY OR BUSY ROAD, I AM NOT SURE I WOULD BE ABLE TO SAY 'NO SERIOUS INJURIES'.

ON 09/08/2020 BOUGHT A 2007 DODGE NITRO WAS A DAILY COMMUTE NOTICED IT WAS JERKING OR MISFIRING. I ORDERED SPARK PLUGS AND COILS. ON 09/14/2020 GOING TO WORK IT WAS JERKING MORE THAN USUAL WHEN I WAS ALMOST TO WORK.. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. MADE IT TO WORK COULD SMELL SOMETHING ELECTRICALLY NOT RIGHT A FAINT BURNING SMELL AFTER I GOT OUT AND HAD PARKED IT. I WAS ON THIRD SHIFT IT WAS DARK I KNEW I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIND IT TILL THE NEXT DAY. HOUR LATER MY DODGE NITRO BURNED TO THE GROUND. TOTALED THE TRUCK NEXT TO IT TOO. HAD I HAD IT HOME CHANGING SPARK PLUGS AND COILS IT COULD HAVE BURNED MY HOUSE DOWN WITH MY FAMILY IN IT. CHRYSLER HAS A PROBLEM WITH TIPM'S STALLING NITROS AND CATCHING FIRE. I NEVER KNEW WHAT I WAS UP AGAINST TILL IT WAS TOO LATE.
