I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL! I LOGGED ONTO MY CREDIT KARMA (TODAY 3/14/2018) AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT 3 RECALLS WERE ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE BACK IN 2016. ADDITIONALLY, MY HUSBAND WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 11/29/2017 AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. HE WAS A TBONED FROM SOMEONE WHO RAN A STOP SIGN AND IS SUFFERING FROM NECK AND BACK ISSUES CAUSED FROM THIS ACCIDENT.
HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HEATING THE CAR WARM ON DRIVER-SIDE, COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE HEATER COIL BY THE DEALERSHIP. IF IT THE HEATER COIL WHY IS IT HEATING ON ONE SIDE?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MONROEVILLE DODGE (3633 WILLIAM PENN HWY, MONROEVILLE, PA, 15146) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED A CASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.
MY ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND ONCE IT WENT OFF THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING THEN IT CAME BACK ON AND THE BRAKES STARTED WORKING AGAIN THIS IS VERY SCARY AND I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING WASN'T DONE PROPERLY THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING HOPING SOMEONE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT SOON. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S ON HIGHWAY OR DIRT ROAD.
ON NOVEMBER 3RD MY CAR OVER HEATED. I HAVE TO GET IT TOWED AWAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. SAME DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM. AFTER THEY DIAGNOSED MY CAR THEY SAID THE HOSE BROKE AND OVER HEATING MELTED MY SENSORS. THEY ASKED ME $773.55 FOR REPAIRING. ON GOOD FAITH I TOOK MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP. JUST AFTER 2 WEEKS, A DAY BEFORE THANKS GIVING MY CAR OVER HEATED AGAIN. AGAIN I HAVE TO GET IT TOWED AWAY AGAIN TO THE DEALER SHIP. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR MORE THAN 12 DAYS. AT FIRST THEY ARE SAYING THAT MY GAS KIT BLEW AND THEN LATER THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. MY CONCERN HERE IS THAT WHY WAS IT NOT DONE ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. I BORROWED MONEY AGAINST MY 401K PLAN AND I CANT TAKE ANOTHER LOAN TO GET IT FIXED. MY WIFE IS STAGE 3 CANCER PATIENT. WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY. I BELIEVE RENTON CAR PROS DODGE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT ON THE VERY FIRST TIME. THEY ACTUALLY SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE CAR. WHICH CAR REALLY BREAKS DOWN WITHIN 4 YEARS.
IT IS THE AIRBAGS BUT I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S CONSIDERED THE TAKATA RECALL. BUT I'VE RECEIVED TWO TO THREE DIFFERENT LETTERS ABOUT THE RECALL AND I'VE GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES. EVERYTIME THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX AND NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF. I CALLED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ONE OF THE TWO RECALLS AND NOT THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS NO RECORD OF A RECALL FOR MY CAR.
TAKATA RECALL. SEAT BELTS WILL NOT CLICK AND COME UNDONE RANDOMLY. MY CAR WENT LIMP AND WOULD NOT DRIVE OVER 10 MILES PER HOUR DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURE WHILE DRIVING.

TAKATA RECALL. WHILE I'M TOLD MY AIRBAG IS TAKATA I'M NOW TOLD IT IS "S61". IN ANY CASE, TODAY MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING LOCALLY IN TOWN AND HIGHWAY; ON AND OFF INFREQUENTLY. I CALLED DODGE AND SPOKE TO A "GLENN" WHO GAVE ME CASE # 32033318 FOR THE AIRBAG. HOWEVER, HE SAID THE "AIRBAG LIGHT" IS A SEPARATE ISSUE, CASE # 32033352. HE CALLED A LOCAL DEALER "FIELDS DODGE IN SANFORD, FL" AFTER TELLING ME DODGE WILL SET UP A DIAGNOSIS AT NO CHARGE, AND PUT ME ON LINE WITH "TOM" AT "FIELDS DODGE." HE SAID THERE WOULD BE A $89.95 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE PLUS WHATEVER THEY FIND. I TOLD HIM WHAT "GLENN" TOLD ME AND HE TOLD ME "GLENN" WAS ONLY A CALL CENTER EMPLOYEE AND WAS MISTAKEN. I TOLD "TOM" I WOULD CALL DODGE BACK. I CALLED AND SPOKE TO A "QUARNEKA" THIS TIME WHO REVIEWED THE NOTES AND COULD NOT FIND "GLENN" TELLING ME NO CHARGE FOR THE DIAGNOSIS TO ME. I ASKED "GLENN", "QUARNEKA" AND "TOM" WHAT THE RISK IS OF DRIVING WITH THE LIGHT ON AND NONE HAD AN ANSWER.

WHAT A DODGE AND DEALER RIPOFF. WE JUST MADE A 4,000 ROAD TRIP FROM FLORIDA TO NEW ENGLAND AND BACK WITH NO ISSUES.

NO FUEL TO RUN OVER 10 MILES AN HOUR. THIS SEAMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH DODGE AVENGERS I HAVE CHECKED OUT
ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL IS NOT WORKING MY CAR LOSES POWER AND WON'T GO OVER 25 MPG IF THAT WHICH COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT IF I AM DRIVING ALONG THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT LIGHT WITH TWO LIGHTING BOLTS COME ON AND THE POWER GOES. I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND WONDER WHY DODGE IS NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THEY MUST KNOW BECAUSE THIS PART IS UNDER WARRANTY FOR ONLY THREE YEARS AND THAT IS WHEN IT GOES IS AFTER THREE YEARS WARRANTY IS UP. I LIKE DODGE AND WILL PROBABLY KEEP BUYING THERE BUT I WISH THEY WOULD LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT THEY COULD GAIN A LOT MORE LOYAL CUSTOMERS IF THEY DID. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN IN DRIVE OR DRIVING SOME WHERE AND IT WILL NOT GO UP HILLS AT ALL STALLS OUT WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING.

ON DECEMBER 10, 2016, I TOOK MY 2014 DODGE AVENGER IN FOR DIAGNOSIS/REPAIR BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS STALLING/SHUTTING OFF WHEN STOPPED OR GETTING READY TO STOP. NOTHING WAS FOUND. ON DECEMBER 13, 2016;MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN TWICE WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH COMING VERY CLOSE TO GETTING HIT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) NEEDED REPLACEMENT. MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THANKFULLY! ! THIS PART HAS A 2-YEAR WARRANTY ONLY! ONCE TOLD OF THE TIPM ISSUE, I WENT ONLINE AND RESEARCHED THIS PART. I SAW MANY MODELS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT CHRYSLER HAD SETTLED A LAWSUIT OVER THOUSANDS/MILLIONS OF 2007-2014 CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH DEFECTIVE TIPM'S. JUST LAST WEEK I SAW A DODGE CHARGER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WONDER IF THIS WAS THE SAME ISSUE AS MINE. AT THIS POINT, I CAN'T REFER ANYONE TO BUY ANY CHRYSLER VEHICLE.....SUCH A SHAME BECAUSE I REALLY LOVE MY CAR, BUT AFTER THIS ORDEAL, I'M PARANOID WONDERING WHAT ELSE WILL GO WRONG!! *TR

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
