Driving down road when all of a sudden heard herendous squealing noise so loud couldn't stay inside vehicle while moving. Upon examination I discovered a heat shield had fallen against and wrapped itself around the drive shaft. I now know the aluminum piece to be the heat shield from the transfer case. This shield is one involved for recalls of same year make and model two wheel drive. My Dodge Nitro 2008 is a 4x4 model not included in said recall. My question to the government as well as Chrysler is one of why not??? fix my vehicle safety hazard too. . .

I recently filed a claim with Dodge due to rust developing under clear coat of my 2008 silver Dodge Nitro r/t 4x4, I am the original owner and purchased the vehicle new from dealership. I also purchased the interior and exterior protection package at the time of the purchase, I developed rust on the rear hatch so extensive that it had to be repaired. During the talked to other owners with the same year, color, make and model and all are experiencing the exact same rust developing on entire car. The anti-corrosion perforation limited warranty states all panels 3 years 36,000 miles and outer panels 5 years 100,000 miles in which my vehicle falls under the requirements. I have been denied warranty coverage for the repair under the Dodge case number 22173077 along with one other person who was denied under case number 22212592, I was told that it was rail dust from transporting the vehicle via train, and the dealership should have cleaned the car prior to having the outer protection being applied. Being that it was on the vehicle prior to taking delivery I feel it should be covered under the warranty. Pictures from my and other vehicles are available if needed. ## VIN passed ## Dodge Nitro 4x4 2008 ##.
