I have already put in problem to this web site but no answers so far, I have a 2007 Dodge Nitro slt that the air bag strips are hanging out behind my steering wheel and now my horn does not blow, my speed control is not working, and the white strip is interfering with my steering could you please have my car recalled for takata air bag it was on a city street while making a turn.
Takata recall I was driving and I accelerated through a green traffic light on a city street and as I went to push the brakes to slow down for another vehicle my truck accelerated on its own as I continued to press the brakes to the floor to try and stop but it continued to accelerate then I tried to pull over to get out off traffic to avoid hitting anyone and it still never slowed down as I'm trying to pull over. Once I got out of traffic I went off on the side of the road and threw it in park. I sat there for about 20 minutes then started it back up and drove home without any issue then that night my husband drove it to work without issues but when he got off the next day as he was backing out the parking space he was in motion to reverse out the space and he pushed the gas and then went to push the brake and it accelerated on him sending him out of control spinning in a circle then hitting a parked vehicle.
My vehicle brake lightm, abs light,retraction lightm, and esp light remains on, when the car is in motion, its affects the alecelaration and the stability of the vehicle, result of an diagnoistic test, I was told that the vehical maybe recalled.

Approx. The week of June 9,2015, the indicator lights on the dash came on, anti skid light etc. I took my vehicle in to local auto shop,they ordered the computer module and they couldn't get it to sync. They took to Dodge dealership for them to program. When I picked up, lights on dash still all on. Auto shop spoke with Dodge and person who programmed said they programmed the module, but something else was causing dash to light up. Auto shop tells me, I have to buy a 2nd module. After a weeks time of not having a vehicle and Dodge trying to address, they realize the 1st module was faulty so they ordered a new one. Vehicle then drove fine after installation, but as of Friday, July 24, 2015. As I was crossing a major light intersection, 3/4 way across the Nitro dies out on me and the dash light anti skid comes on, I coast to the side of the road and I was fortunate the cars behind me were paying attention otherwise I could have been rear ended! I put the car in park, restart the car and it turns on fine, no lights on dash. I continue to head home and upon the turn into my neighborhood ( a slow turn), the Nitro dies on me again and the same anti skid light comes on again. Road is dry weather is clear. I pull off to shoulder on road and repeat the put into park and start engine. I get home and called Dodge and explained situation. They see in vehicle record that they did replace the computer module. Dodge is taking in my Nitro to service on tues. July 28,2015. There has got to be an electrical issue with these computer modules and for me is a safety issue when your driving fine and then your vehicle suddenly shuts down because of this module.

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.
