WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED A DELAYED RESPONSE WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR, MOMENTS LATER I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR'S ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT APPEARED. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO GO MORE THEN 15 MPH. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. I DID NOT RECEIVE A WARNING BEFORE THIS HAPPENED HOWEVER, I DID NOTICE MY CAR STALLING A LITTLE BIT A DAY PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM, NOW I HAVE TO SEE HOW MUCH MONEY THIS IS GOING TO COST ME. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT AND NEED MY CAR BUT NOT THIS TYPES OF EXPENSE AND SAFETY RISKS IT COMES WITH. THERE ARE 125,000 MILES ON THE CAR AT THIS TIME. *TR

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2008 DODGE AVENGER I HAVE BEEN BURDENED WITH A MULTITUDE OF ISSUES. MY CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, NO WARNING..IT JUST DIED. TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ALWAYS ON. VEHICLE LAUNCHES/ JERKS FORWARD WHEN CRUISING AT A SPEED OF 45 OR BELOW. (AND THIS ALL HAPPENED WITH MY FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THE CAR IN 2008) IN 2011 GEAR STICK GOT STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION..I CAN GO ON BUT SECTION IS FOR AIRBAGS, WHICH DID NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT I HAD LAST YEAR, 2012. I SLIPPED ON BLACK ICE, WHICH SENT MY CAR INTO A TAIL SPIN RESULTING ME HITTING...ACTUALLY BOUNCING OFF OF THE GUARD RAIL A FEW TIMES. PRIOR TO THE 2012 ACCIDENT I HAVE HAD INSTANCES WHERE THE AIRBAG LIGHTS WOULD RANDOMLY TURN ON, INDICATING A PROBLEM..THEN SHUTTING OFF BY ITSELF. I WOULD SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT BY THE TIME THE APPOINTMENT DATE ARRIVES, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD MAGICALLY DISAPPEAR! I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY, AS THE AIRBAG INDICATOR IS BACK ON AGAIN..I WAS TOLD BY THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO FOR ME. SHE BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT I'M FRESH OUT OF LUCK, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL, AND I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT AIRBAG ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, OWN THE EXACT MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE. SHE SAID MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, SO THERE IS NOTHING DODGE CAN DO. I THINK THE ENTIRE 2008 DODGE AVENGER FLEETS ARE LEMONS AND IT IS ABOUT TIME DODGE OWN UP TO THEIR MISTAKES, THEY HAVE NO REGARD FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY. WHEN YOU ARE NOT STALLING ON THE HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS, YOU ARE LEFT STRANDED BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT SHIFT YOUR GEAR OUT OF PARK...OH AND THE AIRBAG ISSUE...ITS CRUCIAL, BUT UNFORTUNALELY DODGE DOES NOT THINK SO. *TR
