“The breaks on my 2008 Dodge Nitro keep locking up completely while I'm driving down the hwy. Which causes my truck to come to a abruptly forcefule stop. Especially when I'm traveling at speeds of 65 or more. I can get the brakes to release by unhooking my battery for about 10 minutes. Long enough for the system to reset. My brake pads are slightly worn . My ABS light is also on / on my dash.”
NHTSA complaint #11144265, filed 2018-10, 165,000 miles“The gas tank overflows when filling. The auto shutoff on the gas tank is faulty, this is a problem with the same year jeep libertys with the same tank. The 20 chrome wheels flake and corrode even when kept clean and out of the elements. This must be fixed!”
NHTSA complaint #10440601, filed 2011-12, 23,000 miles“Esp bas lights (appeared after). As I was driving, the car felt like it hit a brick wall even though it didnt, it slammed me into the steering wheel and then continued driving. At that point, the esp bas light came on. Have attempted to contact Dodge or chrysler by phone with no chance at reaching a person cause of robotic answering services.”
