 After having a vibration in the under carriage of my dodge nitro; i then carried it to a dodge dealership and was told that it needed an induction service. i being totally displeased with the reccomendation; i decided to seek some assistance at a local garage and an investigation was done of the vehicle. as a result of the mechanic doing a few test and driving the vehicle; it was said that the vehicle had a chattering feeling coming from the drive train {automatic transmission}. the mechanic also did a google search to find that a lot of other vehicles are having the same problem!!! it was also recorded that there's some issues with the electronics and a few other parts; yet dodge is sitting back making money off the consumers for these known defects in their vehicles. why??? also is it just the manner of business now to build vehicle to breakdown on an annual basis??? see nbc nightline news invetsigation on dodge dealerships!!! please research!!! thank you a concerned consumer seeking assistance. would this be a good time to start a world wide class action lawsuit??? please reply as i seek legal counsel
