Takata recall I was driving and I accelerated through a green traffic light on a city street and as I went to push the brakes to slow down for another vehicle my truck accelerated on its own as I continued to press the brakes to the floor to try and stop but it continued to accelerate then I tried to pull over to get out off traffic to avoid hitting anyone and it still never slowed down as I'm trying to pull over.

2008 Dodge nitro rt loved the car until the car would not come out of cruise control. I attempted to break which break went to the floors causing me to swerve out of a pedestrians way and wreck my vehicle info a wall. I still have vehicle and never made a claim on my I stance because dodge needs to take the car back I have dash cam footage of the whole situation which I will not turn over unless this goes to court. So dodge you got a lawsuit coming your way.
It constantly honks horn, flashes lights and locks and unlocks unattended with or without keys in ignition.Its so bad runs battery down. Noticed it's tried to stall while driving going around curves or turns. It's been diagnosed as the tipm and warranty won't cover it. I've disconnected the battery due to annoying others as well plus running battery down.This is getting to be a bigger problem.More and more issues .It's definitely a safety issue and needs to be fixed by chrysler!
Started suv sounded very loud. Put in park sounded better. Started to drive and suv accelerated on its own, not sure how fast it would of gotten up to, only way to slow down, step on break with both feet. I was close to home so just wanted to get home. Turned into driveway unable to stop in time drove right through garage door. Luckily no one was hurt , garage door demolished, car dents and many scratches. Very dangerous situation.

The steering and everything seized up and then the car just shut down. A red lightning bolt popped up on the dash right before it died. This happened once in 2015, once in 2016, and twice in 2017. I was told over and over by ed shults of jamestown that it is not an electrical issue. Then I filed a report in june of 2017 cause it happened again, and again they just charged me and said it wasnt electrical. Now yesterday 9/27/2017 the vehicle did it again so I called ed shults and they wanted me to pay a daignosis fee again and to pay to have it towed 45 miles away, so I sent it to dave warren in jamestown ny instead and he is a dodge dealer, and they informed me today that it is electrical. I am so upset because this vehicle has almost killed me, its under warranty but the warranty doesnt seem to cover much of anything or even the diagnosis, and I am still paying on this vehicle that is costing so much in repairs. Please help.
