2008 Dodge Avenger

THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON BUT TIRES WERE FINE. AT THAT TIME THE ENGINE WOULD STALL AT TAKE OFF AND FOR A FEW MILES AFTER. AS FOR THE AIRBAG, WHEN I ADJUST THE DRIVERS SEAT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND STAY ON DURING THE DRIVE. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THIS SITE AND FOUND THAT BOTH OF THEM WERE ON BUT WHEN I CALLED THE WARRANTY THEY SAID THAT MY VIN WAS NOT LISTED BUT THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL WAS. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY CHARGED ME $100.00 FOR DIAGNOSTICS! THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT IT STILL STALLS AND THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON.

COULD NOT USE CRUISE CONTROL THEN AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF THEN IT WAS HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC HE FOUND IT TO BE THE CLOCK SPRING HE TELLS ME HE'S NOT SURE IF I HAVE A ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS ARE GOING TO WORK AND I COULD END UP NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT IN MY VEHICLE THE ESTIMATE IS FOR 1000.00 I DON'T HAVE THAT. IF ITS THAT SERIOUS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2008 DODGE AVENGER FOR THE AIRBAGS. SEE BELOW: SUBJECT: SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSORS MAKES/MODELS/MODEL YEARS: CHRYSLER/SEBRING/2007-2008 DODGE/AVENGER/2008 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V-240 MFG'S REPORT DATE: JUNE 5, 2007 COMPONENTS: AIR BAG: FRONTAL POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 798 SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE FRONT SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSORS UTILIZED FOR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. CONSEQUENCE: THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS DURING CERTAIN CRASH CONDITIONS. 1 REMEDY: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSORS AND REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 18, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403. NOTES: DAIMLERCHRYSLER RECALL NO. G14. CUSTOMERS MAY CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV. I CONTACTED DODGE BY EMAIL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAD WENT UNDER THE SEAT AND THE AIRBAG SENSORS WERE LOOSE AND WHEN I TIGHTENED THEM THE AIRBAG LIGHT WENT OFF. MY PROBLEM IS MY AVENGER IS DOING THE SAME THING THAT THE RECALL IS OUT FOR AND DODGE SAID SINCE MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THE SENSORS INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF NEEDED. I FEEL MY CAR SHOULSD OF BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN ON JANUARY 21, 2015 BECAUSE MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING AGAIN BUT THIS TIME IT'S A CLOCKSPRING AND [XXX] AT DODGE TOLD ME THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THIS BECAUSE AIRBAGS WONT WORK, MY CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK AND HE SAID MORE THINGS WILL FAIL. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST BUT IT ISN'T. THERE IS NO WAY THAT I CAN HAVE IT FIXED BECAUSE I GET $800 A MONTH AND TO REPLACE THAT PART IS $579.30. IS THERE ANYWAY TO PUT THIS PART ON THE RECALL LIST BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THANK YOU *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN MOVING SEAT UP OR BACK WHICH MAKES THE SENSOR COME ON, HAVE TO KEEP MOVING THE TRACK UNTIL IT TURNS OFF. IS THIS RELATED TO RECALL G14? FAN IN RADIATOR CONSTANTLY TURNS OFF AND ON, AND NOW MY CAR SEEMS TO HAVE A ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT MAKES A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHEN THE AIR/HEATER IS TURNED OFF, ALSO THE LEFT SIDE OF CAR DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK. MOST RECENT THE LEFT DRIVER SEAT BELT ALL OF A SUDDEN IS NOT RETRACTING, THIS IS NOT SAFE IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, DEALER IS CHARGING AN OUTRAGEOUS PRICE TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 40 MPH ON A MAIN ROAD WHEN I NOTICED MY AIR BAG LIGHT COME. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TALKING ABOUT IT WITH A FRIEND AND MY AIR BAG SUDDENLY DEPLOYED IN MY SEAT. NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP WHERE IT SAT FOR 4 MONTHS. THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAGS BUT I HAD TO PAY $3000 FOR EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WAS WRONG SO THAT THEY COULD FIX THE AIR BAG. THAT INCLUDED THE DAMAGED CRANKSHAFT, THE TIMING CHAIN, THE SENSORS, THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING THE DAY I TOOK IT IN. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO TELL WHEN ALL THIS WAS DAMAGED. I BOUGHT THE CAR AT 53000 MILES AND WAS TOLD IT WAS IN A REAR END MINOR ACCIDENT. BUT NO OTHER ACCIDENT. I GOT MY CAR BACK IN JULY AND IT WAS WORKING JUST FINE FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND NOW ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD BEFORE ARE OCCURRING AGAIN. THOSE PROBLEMS ARE THE STALLING AT STOP LIGHTS, THE RPM REVVING ON ITS OWN WHEN I'M IN PARK, AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT AGAIN KEEPS COMING ON WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS MOVED. ALSO TODAY I NOTICED THAT THE PANELING AROUND MY DRIVERS SEAT BELT ISN'T PUT TOGETHER ALL THE WAY. SHOULD I BE CONCERNED? CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING! *TR
