  ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  MY CAR SHUTS OFF AND THEN TURNS BACK ON WHILE IN MOTION. THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF INCLUDING ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THEN TURNS BACK ON. WHEN IT TURNS BACK ON ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIKE THE ABS AND SRS LIGHTS LIGHT UP AND TURN OFF AS LIKE IF I JUST STARTED THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES. THE THIRD TIME THE CAR DID NOT TURN BACK ON (I THINK BECAUSE I WAS ALMOST STOPPED THE OTHER 2 TIMES I WAS GOING BETWEEN 30-65 MPH AND THE ENGINE STARTED BACK UP AUTOMATICALLY). I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART IT THE 3RD TIME. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 2-3 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM. THEREFORE I HAVE NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER AND YOU THE NHTSA IN HOPES OF RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT CAN BE FOUND AT HTTP://WWW.NITROFORUMZ.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=18 THANK YOU. *JB

  ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 65, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND THE ENGINE STOPPED REVOLVING. THEN, ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED. NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO, I ALLOWED THE CAR TO DECELERATE. THEN, AS QUICKLY AS IT LOST POWER, IT REGAINED POWER. THIS HAPPENED ON THE CAUSEWAY BRIDGE BETWEEN NEW ORLEANS AND MANDEVILLE. THE BRIDGE HAS NO SHOULDERS TO SPEAK OF. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THEY KEPT THE CAR, BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM; THUS, NOTHING WAS FIXED. I HAVE CHECKED THIS PROBLEM OUT ON DODGE NITRO INTERNET FORUMS, AND OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ALSO. *NM
