2011 Dodge Nitro Engine Problems

“After getting a routine oil change on january 4, 2006. My car stop running while exiting the freeway and would not start again. Called the dealership after finding out that there was a recall on my car engine for january 11, 2016. He told me that the engine had been locked up after checking to make sure this was correct. To no avail the dealership will not honor the recall and I am still stuck without adequate transportation. Need this issue resolve so I can get back to work.”

“We were on vacation in st augustine fl in the middle of an intersection getting ready to turn and the engine just completely shut off for no reason at all , thank goodness it was around 11:00 at night and there wasn't much traffic because we had a semi truck coming at us , luckily it started right back up and we got out of the way because it could have been a horrific accident ! This vehicle also sputters from time to time like the engine is going to die and also the windshield wipers come on by them selves for no reason ! Updated 09/15/15”

“Driving on 2 lane highway and had to brake hard as another vehicle cut me off. As soon as I did (brake) my SUV shut off...all the lights flashed on the dash board. I immediately put the flashers on and hoped I didn't get rear-ended. I tried 3x to restart my 2011 Dodge Nitro- it finally started. I was near the dealership where I purchased the vehicle, I pulled in, told them what just happened. They hooked it up to the computer and reported 'no errors'. It was a near miss on a busy highway, and I am worried if this were to happen again. I don't feel safe in my Dodge Nitro. …”
