FROM DATE OF PURCHASE BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT 2013 DODGE AVENGER 3.6L BLACKTOP EDITION. WITHIN A FEW DAYS I STARTED NOTICING THE CAR WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ALIGNMENT LOOKED AT AND FIXED AND THEY SAID THEY RE ALIGNED EVERYTHING AND SHOULD BE FINE. AFTER A WEEK I NOTICED IT STARTED TO PULL TO THE RIGHT AGAIN. AT THAT POINT I TOOK IT INTO A DIFFERENT SHOP WHERE THEY ACTUALLY TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN'T RE ALIGN THE CAR BASED ON THE FACT THAT HOW THE CARS SUSPENSION WAS MANUFACTURED AND DESIGN IS FAULTY TO WHERE THE ALIGNMENT WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BE CORRECTED AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I AM MILITARY AND HAVE MOVED 2 TIMES SINCE THE PURCHASE AND HAVE TAKIN THE CAR TO SEVERAL SHOPS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SAME. THAT THE ALIGNMENT IS AS BEST AS IT CAN GET AND WILL ALWAYS PULL TO THE RIGHT BASED ON THE DESIGN AND HOW IT CAME FROM THE FACTORY. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 3 YRS NOW AND HAVE HAD TO BUY BRAND NEW TIRES EVERY YEAR WHILE ROTATING AND BALANCING MY TIRES EVERY 3 MONTHS. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT AND DODGE WILL NOT TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE FAULT AND HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY HELP IN COMING UP WITH A SOLUTION TO FIX THE SUSPENSIONS ALIGNMENT ALWAYS BEING OFF.

PURCHASED VEHICLE 02/2013 SIX MOTHS LATER NOTICED BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN COMING TO A STOP GOING DOWN A HILL. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE, TOLD "BRAKE SENSOR IS TOO SENSITIVE." ONE YEAR LATER NOTICED WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION BEYOND 50MPH ENGINE WILL HESITATE- FEELS LIKE IT WILL SHUT OFF. SIMILAR SITUATION WHEN IDLING. TWO YEARS LATER STEERING MAKES LOTS OF NOISE. NONE OF THESE CONCERNS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WHEN BROUGHT TO STAFF'S ATTENTION AT DODGE DEALERSHIP. DODGE REQUESTS I PAY $107+ FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. NOT HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE MORE SO BECAUSE I AM MOTHER TO A THREE YEAR OLD AND EXPECTING...I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS CAR.

THIS WEEK, MY AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN TO BLINK INTERMITTENTLY, USUALLY WHEN ACCELERATING. AFTER A DAY, THE LIGHT CAME TO BE ON CONTINUOUSLY. I GOT THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP ON SATURDAY AND WAS INFORMED THE ACTIVE HEADREST ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAD AN OPEN CIRCUIT AND THAT THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS DISABLED UNTIL WE CAN REPLACE THE CURRENTLY BACKORDERED PART AT A COST OF ~$300 PLUS LABOR. THIS IS A PART THAT WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL FOR MY MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR FOR THE ACTIVE HEADREST, BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SEEM TO BE INCLUDED. AT THIS TIME, I AM DRIVING OVER 100 MILES A DAY WITH NO AIRBAGS IN A 3 YEAR OLD CAR. IT IS NOT SAFE AND IT IS A PART THAT APPARENTLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. A PART THAT IS NEVER USED IN A 3 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT FAIL AND DEFINITELY NOT DO SO IN SUCH A CRITICAL SYSTEM. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THEY'D ADD MY VEHICLE TO A LIST FOR REVIEW AND LET ME KNOW IF THEY'LL COVER THE PART OR NOT. MEANWHILE, MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT BECAUSE THEY FEEL AS I DO THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD.

RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND AFTER A WEEK AND A HALF, NOTICED THAT MY CAR IS NOT GEARING CORRECTLY ON ITS OWN AND AT TIMES DECELERATES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. ALSO WHEN SHIFTING VEHICLE FROM PARK, REVERSE, DRIVE, ETC... IT MAKES A JUMP WITH A LOUD NOISE.
