Transmission Noise Problems of Dodge Nitro

Had made and apt to take truck in for recall for underbody transmission tunnel shield at 1 pm on sat . On the way to work . No warning signs truck no light indicator on truck started to make loud noise while my husband was driving . We pulled up to the stop light and turned the truck off and turned it back on it started to make a loud noise again so he pulled to the side of the road into a parking lot and then it just stop would not go into reverse or turn back on and the transmission light came own . We had it towed to the dealership . Ask them to do the repair on the recall still not done 3 days later so I cannot even tow vehicle to my house . To figure out where to go from there have contacted the recall hotline they said they can not do anything . Filed a complaint to them they said they would look in to it and get back to me . The dealership said for 700 dollars they can break the transmission down to see if the two are connected who has money to was this is crazy and I see you have other complaints about stating vehicles and transmissions this is dangerous thankfully it was a sat and no traffic when this happened we could have been killed and my son was in the car in the back seat and it would have been a rear end accident which is were most children ride in the back for safety that is a joke with the Nitro I hope you take this as serious as I do a s a concerned parent it is alarming to know that vehicles with these kinds of issues are still being sold and nobody wants to fix the problems it is more about money than accidents and death . This is probably why people have stop supporting Dodge and Chrysler because they are not about safety and ownership of there brand and responsibility for there defects we also had a door handle on driver side broken this seems to be common as well . I will also make a formal complaint to Chrysler.

Chrysler denies responsibility and no lawyer wants to fight Chrysler. I am not putting my family's life in jeopardy with that car. On 2/18/08 I leased a 2008 Dodge Nitro at crestwood Dodge. On 3/31/08 my wife routinely started the Nitro, put her foot on the brake (and not the gas) and engaged the gear from park to reverse. Within a split second, the car made an unusually loud noise and the car bursted backward taking out the right side of our gate and a portion of the fence adjacent to the gate. This took her by surprise. She applied the brake but the brake was not able to engage as the transmission had torqued the engine so hard that it forced her into the side of the house and the rear bumper rammed into a brick pillar supporting the roof of the front porch and damaged the car. The impact of hitting the house and the pillar eventually stopped the momentum of the Nitro. I called the service mgr at crestwood to see if there were any known recalls on the transmission malfunctioning on the Nitro. He told me no. I asked him for advice on what to do. He referred me to the Chrysler customer claims resolution group. (cccrg) I filed a claim with this cccrg. Then we received a form letter from them stating that they will send an investigator to see if there was a problem with the Nitro. Cccrg informed us that an investigation was performed at dearborn collision and that we will receive an answer. They referred me to the case mgr. On 4/9/08 we received a letter stating that the inspector found no indication of a malfunctioning defect. I spoke briefly with dearborn collision and asked about this investigation. They stated that the investigator hardly looked at anything. Never even started the car and that he were in and out within a few minutes. On 4/10/08 I spoke to the case manager and discussed how we can just get a new lease. He advised me that if I would have to go to the dealership and arrange a meeting with the district mgr that governs crestwood Dodge.
