AFTER HAVING A VIBRATION IN THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF MY DODGE NITRO; I THEN CARRIED IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDED AN INDUCTION SERVICE. I BEING TOTALLY DISPLEASED WITH THE RECOMMENDATION; I DECIDED TO SEEK SOME ASSISTANCE AT A LOCAL GARAGE AND AN INVESTIGATION WAS DONE OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT OF THE MECHANIC DOING A FEW TEST AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE; IT WAS SAID THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A CHATTERING FEELING COMING FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN {AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION}. THE MECHANIC ALSO DID A GOOGLE SEARCH TO FIND THAT A LOT OF OTHER VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM!!! IT WAS ALSO RECORDED THAT THERE'S SOME ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRONICS AND A FEW OTHER PARTS; YET DODGE IS SITTING BACK MAKING MONEY OFF THE CONSUMERS FOR THESE KNOWN DEFECTS IN THEIR VEHICLES. WHY??? ALSO IS IT JUST THE MANNER OF BUSINESS NOW TO BUILD VEHICLE TO BREAKDOWN ON AN ANNUAL BASIS??? SEE NBC NIGHTLINE NEWS INVESTIGATION ON DODGE DEALERSHIPS!!! PLEASE RESEARCH!!! THANK YOU A CONCERNED CONSUMER SEEKING ASSISTANCE. WOULD THIS BE A GOOD TIME TO START A WORLD WIDE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT??? PLEASE REPLY AS I SEEK LEGAL COUNSEL. *TR

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVERS DOOR BROKE LEAVING THE DRIVER UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVE WAS ABLE TO EXIT BY USE OF THE EXTERIOR HANDLE ON THE SAME DOOR BUT THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE CASE IF THE WINDOW WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. *TR

I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE ACCELERATOR BECAME STUCK. I WAS RIDING THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS STILL STUCK. I DROPPED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE AND THE ACCELERATOR REMAINED STUCK. I DROPPED THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL FOR THE SECOND TIME AND IT FINALLY CLICKED OUT. *TR

I AM HAVING MULTIPLE ISSUES. THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I GET GAS, THE AIR CONDITIONER ONLY COOLS WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES PRODUCES HEAT INSTEAD, THE LOCKS DO NOT WORK 4 OUT OF 7 DAYS A WEEK, THE TPM SIGNAL COMES ON EVERY FEW DAYS EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES ARE FINE, AND THE WINDOWS DO NOT WORK ON OCCASION. ALTHOUGH THIS APPEARS TO ME THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL AND GAS TANK ISSUE, THERE ARE NOT ANY RECALLS ISSUED AT THIS TIME. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I WILL NEED TO BRING IT BY WHEN THINGS ARE NOT WORKING IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DO ANY TYPE OF DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. I CONSIDER BOTH ELECTRICAL AND GAS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN. IN ADDITION, BUT I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE, BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. *TR
