1 Transmission Gear Indicator problem of the 2007 Dodge Nitro

Failure Date: 08/01/2007

This is a follow up on the complaint I made in may. My Nitro is still not fixed. It still has serious shifting problems, now steering problems. It doesn't shift right, the motor bogs down, it has even gotten stuck between 1-2 gears under a red light at a very busy intersection. I've taken my truck to two different dealerships and now it's showing unperformed recalls and customer satisfaction notifications but dealership says they were instructed by Chrysler not to work on my truck because I filed a lemon law complaint. These are safety issues and I don't think it's right I have to drive a car that is not safe and put my life, the lives of my family and others at risk. One dealership says they did the recall, the other says my truck doesn't need it. Meanwhile it still shows on VIN search that it's unperformed. I have been informed by Nitroforum. Com that it is a computer software problem. I think that this should be investigated before someone gets killed.
