I bought a Nitro SLT three weeks ago and had it back in the shop today to review a couple of my concerns.
1) Binding and Squeaky Noise when turning
2) Inconsistent Shifitng
3) ESP Light remained on.
1) The response I received from the dealership is that the noise is normal and I should try not to turn the wheel all the way when pulling out of a parking spot. When the steering wheel is cranked one way, you begin to turn and can hear a very uncomforting grinding noise. The dealer stated that it is metal on metal and that is what happens when you grind metal with metal. I explained to him that I find that very hard to believe as I has never experience this with any other vehicle I have owned. Also, how could Dodge allow this when car production quality assurance is of very high standards in the automotive industry. Basically, I am not comfortable with this response seeing as common sense tells me that a brand new vehicle should not be making any abnormal noises.
Has anybody else had this issue? Can someone please rest assure me that I am not crazy?
2) They boiled this down to the break-in period. I can see that. However, I will keep an eye on that.
3) I apparently hit the gas and brake at the same time????? Another thing I'll keep an eye on.
If anbody can relate to this, please let me know. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks to all for taking the time to read my short novel.....lol
