We were notified that there was a recall on our Dodge Nitro. However Dodge has made it as difficult as possible to have this recall corrected in the hopes you won't take your vehicle in and they won't have to spend money or time correcting the problem. In order to have a our vehicle recall corrected we were told that we had to bring in our vehicle in Monday through Friday so it during normal working hours so it could be inspected. After they inspect it they tell you there is a problem and you will have to make another appointment Monday through Friday during normal working hours. This now requires you to take off time during work twice but you are also without a vehicle for the entire time they decide they want to hold onto it.

Airbags: this vehicle has had a recall for a "ram" emblem being placed over the airbag such that it becomes a projectile in an airbag depleyment. Dodge makes it very difficult to avail of getting it removed. I am not close to the dealership, I am very busy and somewhat disabled. Since the first notice arrived in the mail-- maybe three years ago-- I have returned the notices with a request for them to send a tech to my home and make the repair. I see there has been at least one death due to this obvious flaw, butthey have not cared enough to answer. Why should I take a day so that they can fix this deadly "extra feature" of shrapnel being placed over an explosive? electrical: this is a serious safety issue that Dodge will not recognize or even discuss. Getting the window back up is a matter of finessing the "up" switch every which way, multiple attempts required (switch has now fallen out). Very distracting, after going through a toll booth after dark and 15 degrees. You can't stop and f with it, you have to do it on the move. It can take as long as five minutes to get it back up (window now completely disabled). They will do anything to save seventeen cents per car, who cares if it makes it unsafe for the owner. Not Dodge! I wrote to Dodge (no reply), then the mi attorney general about this, they responded "we have written to this manufacturer twice and have not received a response". Dodge takes no responsibility for their shoddy work. We pay, we die, they keep doing what they do. It disappoints that even the ag's "consumer protection division" has no teeth. Visibility: it would be interesting to learn how many pedestrians have been hit with this particular model. With all the safety regs out there, it's amazing that a design that blocks visibility gets a pass. Unfortunately it is not the kind of thing you can discover in a test drive, but - crosswalks and four-way stops in particular are dangerous. You can hide a ryder truck behind these a pillars.

The complaint that I have is the fact that I received the recall notice for my vehicle back in the month of may and called the local dealership for 3 months to schedule the safety recall repair of the underbody transmission tunnel shield, but every time I called I was told the parts were not available for the 3 months I tried to follow up only to learn that the transmission was leaking during the accident.

We ended up headed towards the sky and took a hard head nose into the earth. We then came up turned in the other directions rocking and rolling in a dry shallow creek bed in nevada. We went up again and landed with two flat tires, in gear, going no where. My air bad did not deploy! my hubby had a huge laceration on the inside of his forearm. Found out later in emergency that the Dodge emblem propelled into his arm. The emblem is very concerning. It could have knocked out his eye, entered his heart or even slashed his throat. It should be removed from all Dodges.
