“Takata recall - the nitro was in motion when the airbag light came on and when the white plastic strip came sticking out of my steering wheel column. Before the white plastic strip came sticking out behind the steering wheel, it sounded like something was rubbing or grinding every time I would turn the steering wheel.

NHTSA complaint #10260306, filed 2009-02, 35,000 miles“We have been having issues with our door locks along with electrical problems that occur while the vehicle is running.

The cost would be $965.90, when doing research I have found that many Dodge nitro owners have been having this same issue if not worse than what we are having. This is the main command center for all electrical functions that when not properly working is an extreme danger to the passengers. …”
