DRIVER SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR. WHETHER ON THE WINDSHIELD OR THROUGH THE VENTS. PASSENGER SIDE FOGS UP AND DOESN'T CLEAR WHERE THE DRIVER SIDE IS FINE.

MY NITRO IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEM LOCKING UP OR SOMETIMES CHATTERING THEN LOCKING UP WHEN IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON SLIPPERY CITY AND HIGHWAY ROADS, ADDITIONALLY WHEN I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR IN THAT SITUATION IT ACTUALLY SPEEDS UP.

THE ACCERATOR STUCK IN DOWN POSITION, WENT TO DEALERSHIP STATED MY PEDAL WAS DEFECTIVE REPLACED IT, WHEN I TAPPED ON PEDAL IN WENT ALL THE WAY DAY, MY CARE STARTED TO SPEED PAST 100MPH ON HIGHWAY,

SAFETY RECALL 12V-474 FOR 2010 RAM 1500 COULD NOT BE PERFORMED DUE TO PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. CURRENTLY, SAFETY RECALL 17V-821, WHICH COULD CASE A PARKED VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY ROLL AWAY, DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. BOTH OF THESE RECALLS ARE EITHER UNABLE OR WERE UNABLE TO BE PERFORMED DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. 12V-474 IS THE EXACT SAME RECALL AS 12V474000, CHRYSLER NUMBER M34, "THE NUT SECURING THE REAR AXLE PINION MY LOOSEN BECAUSE AN ADHESIVE PATCH WAS NOT INSTALLED DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY. IF THE NUT LOOSENS, THE AXLE CAN LOCK UP WITH LITTLE WARNING, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND/OR A CRASH". I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER RECALL GROUP THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE BUYBACK PROGRAM, EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS THE SAME MODEL YEAR WITH THE SAME RECALLED ISSUE (12V-474) LOOSE PINION NUT AS THOSE ELIGIBLE. IN ADDITION, THERE IS NOW ANOTHER DRIVE TRAIN RECALL FOR WHICH I CANNOT RECEIVE REPAIR DUE TO LACK OF PARTS.

DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING, SLOWED FROM 25 MPH FOR UPCOMING STOP SIGN. LOST ALL POWER AND STEERING. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE WERE BLANK. SEEMED A BIT DIFFICULT TO STOP BUT NOT SURE IF THAT WAS A BRAKE ISSUE. STORED VEHICLE. PUT IT IN PARK. LIGHTS ON COMPONENTS CAME BACK ON IMMEDIATELY AND BUTTON START INDICATOR STILL LIT IN RUN POSITION. STEPPED ON BRAKES AND PUSHED THE BUTTON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED FINE. NO ISSUES ON RETURN HOME. ALMOST EXACTLY 2 HOURS LATER TRIED TO TAKE MY SON TO SCHOOL. HIT UNLOCK BUTTON ON KEYS, NO RESPONSE. TRIED MULTIPLE TONNES AND ANY/ALL BUTTONS- NO RESPONSE. USED "VALET" KEY TO UNLOCK DOOR. NO COMPONENT LIGHTS OR INDICATORS CAME ON. LEFT THE DRIVERS DOOR OPEN, OPENED HOOD, LOOKED AROUND, NO OBVIOUS PROBLEMS. SHOOK BATTERY CABLES- ALL TIGHT. CLOSED HOOD HAZARD LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. GOT IN AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKES, PUSHED START BUTTON AND VEHICLE STARTED. DID NOT DRIVE IT AT THAT TIME. BARELY 2 HOURS LATER I STARTED THE VEHICLE TOO DRIVE TO WORK. LET IT WARM UP FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES, THEN TOOK CITY STREETS. ABOUT 1 MILE INTO THE DRIVE I STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT. VEHICLE AGAIN LOST ALL POWER, NO LIGHTS ON COMPONENTS, NOTHING. HAD A VEHICLE COMING UP BEHIND ME SO QUICKLY PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. OIL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. LOOKED AT VEHICLE INFO AND TEMPS WERE ALL WITHIN MID-RANGE. GOT TO WORK (APPROXIMATELY 1 MORE MILE AWAY) AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF. I HAVE STARTED IT ON EACH BREAK (EVERY 2-3 HOURS) AND NONE OIL LIGHT IS ON AND NO OTHER ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON JANUARY 5TH, HAVE DRIVEN IT PRACTICALLY EVERY DAY, PUT ALMOST 400 MILES ON IT (NOW AT 14,807) AND NO ISSUES UNTIL TODAY. SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW BUT MUST GET TO WORK TO PAY FOR IT!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH EXITING THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING AND DID NOT COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.
