Takata recall engine locked up while driving on the highway while moving from one state to another. oil in engine, didn't know why engine locked up. replaced transmission, starter and a/c condenser leaked.
Takata recall. my 2010 dodge nitro makes a very loud, almost diesel truck like sound, whenever my car is running. it almost sounds like a vacuum cleaner inside the car. the steering wheel, seats, pedals, body, and gear shift of the dodge shake constantly. this happens sitting still and in motion. the anti theft light turned on when the car was running, then the car turned off and would not turn back on for at least fifteen minutes. the drivers side window is starting to not work.
While driving vehicle shuts off without any warning indicators. there is check engine light. the seatbelt warning lights come one but we all have the belts buckled. this happened about 3 times since purchasing it. i have taken in to get checked but they have not been able to detemine malfunction. this is very scary cause i loose sterring control when it shuts down.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge nitro. while driving at an unknown speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. the failure recurred on numerous occasions. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic multiple times who diagnosed that the number two cylinder needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired numerous times; however, the failure persisted. the dealer diagnosed that the valve and cylinder head were not properly seated. the technician stated that both cylinder heads needed to be removed and rebuilt. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 100,000.
Upon filling up gasoline at two separate gas stations on two separate days, gasoline was observed to spew out even though the gas pump itself had shut off. possible inlet control valve defect, filler tube defect. unsure but gas simply spews out, about a half gallon before stopping. *tr
At 10 mph it accelerator pedal no response to engine and brake booster was lost but engine still running. *tr
