FLOOR HEATING ISSUE. WARM ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE WINTER. THE OPPOSITE IN THE SUMMER. ALWAYS WHILE DRIVING. SUMMER WITH WINDOWS DOWN HEAT IS DRAWN OUT ON THE DRIVERS FEET. WINTER WITH THE HEAT ON DRIVING HIGHWAY, COLD AIR RUSHES IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR.

LA BOMBA DE GASOLINA SE HA DAADA 2 VECES, YA QUE SE QUIEBRA EL TUBITO DONDE SE CONECTA LA MAGUERA DE GASOLINA. SE ENCIENDE Y SE APAGA LA IMAGEN DE LA BOLSA DE AIRE DE ACUERDO AL CLIMA Y MAS CUANDO HACE CALOR. EL SISTEMA ELECTRICO POR CAMBIO DE BUJIAS SE TIENE QUE RESETEAR LA COMPUTADORA YA ES LA SEGUNDA VEZ QUE PASA Y ME ESTA CONSTANDO, GRACIAS.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND AND A CAR CROSSED INTO MY LANE TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN RT INTO MY VEHICLE. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE ADMITS TO LOOKING AT HIS PHONE PRIOR TO TURNING. HE HIT MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TRAVELING HEAD ON WITH A TURNING MOTION WITH BOTH OF US TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35 M.P.H. MY AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED AND MY SEATBELT UNLOCKED ALLOWING ME TO HIT MY HEAD ON THE CEILING/ROOF OF MY CAR.

CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ONLY UP TO 40 MPH. ANY ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL BEYOND 40 MPH IS FUTILE. IT DOES NOTHING.

THE FILE SHOWS THAT THIS CARS HAS HAD THE FUEL TANK STRAP WE'RE REPLACE AS THE RECALL STIPULATED BUT ON OCTOBER 2013 THE FUEL TANK STARTED TO LEAK. AFTER INSPECTION, THERE WAS A LOT OF WEAR BETWEEN THE FUEL STRAP AND THE TANK ITSELF, ENOUGH WEAR TO START LEAKING. WHEN REMOVING THE STRAP, THE FUEL STARTED LEAKING A LOT MORE. THERE WAS ENOUGH MOVEMENT THAT THE STEEL ON THE TANK WHERE THE TANK PASSES WAS SHINY. HAD TO REPLACE THE TANK AND PAY FOR IT MYSELF. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVE IN THE ROAD A LITTLE TOO FAST AND THE CAR SLID ON LOOSE GRAVEL. IT SPUN AROUND ONCE AND HIT A TELEPHONE BOX, SPUN AROUND A SECOND TIME AND SLAMMED AGAINST THE INSIDE OF A DITCH. IT CAUSED ENOUGH DAMAGE THAT THE DRIVERS FRONT TIRE TURNED ALL THE WAY OUT AND MY KNEES KNOCKED OUT THE DASHBOARD. THE AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY CAUSING ME TO HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVEN'T FELT OKAY SINCE THIS HAPPENED AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I WAS IN A WRECK IN A HONDA ACCORD BEFORE THAT WASN'T HALF THIS BAD AND THE AIR BAG SAVED ME FROM BEING INJURED. IT DEFINITELY SHOULD'VE DEPLOYED IN THIS INCIDENT! *TR

WHILE DRIVING, MY ETC LIGHT CAME ON. IT STAYED ON. NO ISSUE WITH DRIVING. I JUST HAD $900 WORTH OF WORK ON THIS CAR DUE TO A FAULTY COMPUTER. I NOW AM FINDING THE ETC LIGHT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND NO SOLUTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE AVENGER AWD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WAS DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEAT, HARNESS AND SENSORS BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,323.

2008 DODGE AVENGER R/T. AWD. THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM FAILS. THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY CLOSED NOR WILL IT LOCK. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT ONCE FOR $100.00. AFTER A FEW MONTHS, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. DOOR FLIES OPEN, WILL NOT STAY CLOSED. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, NOW THEY WANT $211.00 TO TRY AND FIX IT A DIFFERENT WAY BECAUSE THE FACTORY CLIPS (REQUIRED) AREN'T WORKING. THEY HOPE (BUT WILL NOT GUARANTEE) THAT THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. CALLED DODGE, THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT, (SO RUDELY PUT)! NOT CONCERNED WITH THE DOOR FLYING OPEN. THEY ACTUALLY TOLD ME TO MAKE SURE MY CHILDREN WEAR THEIR SEAT BELTS SO IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, THEY WON'T FALL OUT OF THE CAR. *TR

CAR WAS FINE AND ONE DAY WENT TO DRIVE IT AND IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. TRIED FIR DAYS AND STILL IT WOULDN'T BUDGE. CALLED DODGE TO SEND OUT A FLAT BED TRUCK AND THE DRIVER SAID THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE AVENGER SO HE KNEW TO TAKE OFF THE SILVER SHIFT RIM AND RELEASE THE CAR FROM PARK TO AT LEAST GET US TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST 2 DAYS TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 DODGE AVENGER ABOUT A YEAR AGO, A FEW DAYS AFTER I GOT THE CAR THE GEAR SHIFT GOT STUCK AND I COULDN'T GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SALES GUY WHO SOLD ME MY CAR TOLD ME THAT I WAS PROBABLY DOING SOMETHING WRONG, ABOUT AN 15MINS LATER THE CAR WENT IN TO DRIVE, AND I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ABOUT IT. TODAY I TRIED TO UP MY CAR IN DRIVE AND IT WOULDN'T GOING IN TO DRIVE AT ALL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH DODGE BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF THE 30DAYS. I THEN CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND HE TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ABOUT $1300 TO GET MY CAR FIXED. *TR

2008 DODGE AVENGER: SHIFTER ASSEMBLY PRONE TO BREAK. CHRYSLER IS AWARE, BUT HAS NOT RECALLED THE PART. WHEN THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY BREAKS, SHIFTING BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN TO BE A FAULTY DESIGN AND THE USE OF A BRITTLE PLASTIC COMPONENT WITHIN THE ASSEMBLY. *TR
