I HAVE HAD MY BATTERY REPLACED (DID NOT HELP MY ISSUES). NEXT I SPENT A COUPLE HUNDRED TO HAVE MY "ELECTRICAL GROUND " REPAIRED (ALSO STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUES). MY ORIGINAL ISSUES (THAT HAVE NOT YET BEEN FIXED): CAR STALLING, CAR UNABLE TO START, ALL LIGHTS ON CAR FLICKERING. NOW MY REAR LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING (THEREFORE I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS DODGE AVENGER SINCE IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD WHEN REAR LIGHTS/BLINKERS DO NOT WORK). . THE DEALER SAYS IT IS THE TIPM THAT HAS CAUSED ALL REAR LIGHTS TO NOT FUNCTION ANYMORE AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL ISSUES I HAD. THIS IS A $1,000 REPAIR THAT I RECENTLY LEARN THOUSANDS OF CHRYSLER/DODGE VEHICLES HAD SAME ISSUE WITH. THIS DOES NOT SEEM FAIR THAT THE CONSUMER SHOULD PAY THE EXPENSE, WHEN CLEARLY THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ITEM. DUE TO THIS BEING A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AMONGST DODGE VEHICLES,. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED MY CAR AS A ROAD SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO NO BRAKE LIGHTS/TURN SIGNALS . *TR

I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ELECTRONICS IN THE FRONT TWO WINDOWS. THE PASSENGER SIDE QUIT WORKING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE CONTROL THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE SWITCH. APPROX. TWO WEEKS LATER THE DRIVER WINDOW WON'T GO DOWN BUT WILL GO UP. ONE OF THE ENGINE PORTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS STUCK OPEN AND I HAVE TRIED USING SEA FOAM. BOTH FRONT STRUTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME A MONTH AGO. REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR THREE WEEKS AFTER BUYING THE CAR THAT WAS THREE YEAR'S AGO. IT SEEMS TO BE ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER HAS TO GET FIXED ON THIS CAR. I HAVE REPAIRED THE A/C UNIT ON IT TWICE THIS SUMMER. NOW THE POWERING STEERING UNIT IS MAKING A NOISE WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED. WOULDN'T RECOMMENDED THIS CAR TO ANYONE. NICE LOOKING BUT FALLS APART TO EASY IN A SHORT TIME FRAME. *TR

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A DROP IN RPM'S IN WET WEATHER, MAINLY AT LOWER SPEEDS DURING A DECELERATION MODE THAT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE WOULD DIE. A SLOW RESPONSE TO A PANICKED FOOT WAS ALWAYS WHAT HAPPENED. THIS BEGAN AT APPROX. 25,000-30,000 MILES. NEVER WHILE IN THE DEALER REPAIR SHOP. WHILE DRIVING OUR 2008 AVENGER, THERE WAS A RAPID DECELERATION THAT OCCURRED ACCOMPANIED BY THE ETC LIGHT COMING ON AND FLASHING. I APPLIED GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENED, THEN A SPLIT SECOND LATER, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, ETC LIGHT WENT OUT. I SLOWLY ACCELERATED TO 55 MPH AND NOTICED THAT THE RPMS WERE HIGHER THAN USUAL (3200) FOR THE SPEED AND ALSO FELT A HICCUP OR CUTTING OUT FEEL. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD LOST 4TH GEAR? MY HUSBAND AND I ARE SEASONED AUTO SERVICE ADVISORS & ARE VERY MUCH IN TUNE WITH OUR VEHICLES. ALONG WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED ISSUES, NOW AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, RPM'S WILL DROP; WHILE THE ENGINE FEELS AS IF IT WILL CUT OFF & ETC LIGHT COMES ON, THEN GOES OUT. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH & FOUND ON THIS NHTSA WEBSITE, APPROX. 90% OF COMPLAINTS FOR LIKE VEHICLES TO BE EXACT OR SIMILAR TO WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING. I STOPPED LOOKING AFTER 5 PAGES.(95% OF 1ST 5 PAGES ARE FILLED WITH LIKE CONCERNS). I WILL BE CONTACTING THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AS WELL. WHY AN OFFICIAL RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ANNOUNCED, BEFUDDLES ME. I HOPE THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE DOES NOT GET IGNORED ANY LONGER. 110,000 IS ON THE VEHICLE ODOMETER NOW. THE MILEAGE WE HAVE ON OUR VEHICLE IS A SIMILAR COMMON DENOMINATOR THAT IS EASILY SEEN ON THE OTHER ETC RELATED COMPLAINTS FOR 2008 AVENGERS. *NOTE-STOP LIGHT SW. & ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR HAVE BEEN REPLACED PER RECOMMENDATION OF CHRYSLER TECHNICIAN. THIS MADE NO DIFFERENCE. (EXCEPT IN OUR BANK ACCOUNT). *TR

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ON MY 2008 DODGE AVENGER BROKE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO DODGE BUT THEY HAVE A 2 TO 3 WEEK BACK LOG ON THE PART TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. NOW I DON'T HAVE MY CAR FOR 2 TO 3 WEEKS AND I NOW HAVE TO RENT ONE. IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WHY HASN'T A RECALL BE PLACED ON THIS PART? WHY IF THIS IS KNOWN DO THEY HAVE SUCH A BACK LOG ON PARTS. IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WHY AM I PAYING FOR A RENTAL CAR? THIS IS A TOTAL LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE ON A CORPORATION LEVEL. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST CAR I HAVE HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM WITH WHEN IT COMES TO DODGE PRODUCTS. AS A LOYAL DODGE DRIVER FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS THIS IS THE LAST STRAW. THEIR INCOMPETENCE AS A COMPANY CAN NO LONGER BE OVERLOOKED AND BRUSHED AWAY. WHEN WILL THEY ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PRODUCT THEY PRODUCE AND STAND BEHIND IT? ALTHOUGH I EXPECT DODGE TO DO NOTHING AS USUAL THEY HAVE JUST LOST ONE MORE CUSTOMER. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 DODGE AVENGER THAT BURST INTO FLAMES ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I WAS HEADED HOME FROM WORK DURING RUSH HOUR ON A CITY STREET DOING BETWEEN 25-30 MILES AN HOUR. THERE WAS NO WARNING WHEN A MAN STARTED SHOUTING FOR ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. IN ANOTHER HALF AN HOUR MY KIDS WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING WITH THIS CHRYSLER MADE CAR, YET THE INSURANCE IS GIVING ME THE RUN-A-ROUND. I'M SURE WITH INSTRUCTIONS FROM CHRYSLER. I NEED THEM TO PAY UP, I NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET TO WORK AND TAKE MY CHILDREN TO DAY CARE. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED CAUSE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE OR FUEL SYSTEM. *TR
