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

I WENT TO ROLL MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOWN AND IT FELL OFF THE TRACK DOWN INTO THE DOOR. MY MECHANIC SAID THE MOTOR WAS BROKEN AND REPAIRED IT. A YEAR LATER TODAY MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I WONDERED IF IT COULD POSSIBLY BE A DEFECT IN THE FACTORY MOTOR OR IT IS JUST A COINCIDENCE AND IF ALL MY WINDOWS ARE GOING TO DO THIS EVENTUALLY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 DODGE AVENGER TO WORK ON 01/12/12. IT WAS RAINING THAT MORNING. I ATTEMPTED TO MERGE TO MY RIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED AND MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO TURN 360 DEGREES HOWEVER MY TIRES WERE NOT MOVING. I BANGED IN THE MEDIAN. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS UNCONSCIOUS AND THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER IS SOMEONE CUTTING MY DRIVERS DOOR OFF TO GET ME OUT. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OF A VEHICLE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW? I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RETURN TO WORK DUE TO MY INJURIES AND DODGE COULD CARELESS. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE THAT DAY....THANK GOD I DIDN'T. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT? *TR

I HAVE HAD MANY MALFUNCTIONS WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT THIS ONE TOPPED THEM ALL. I HAVE BEEN OUT OF WORK SINCE THIS DAY WITH INJURIES CAUSED BY THIS ACCIDENT, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I CONTACTED THE CORPORATE OFFICE OF DODGE AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD I WAS S. O. L. . NOW I'M STUCK WITH NO VEHICLE AND I'M OUT OF WORK BECAUSE OF IT. MY WARANTY ON MY CAR HAS EXPIRED AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY WILL ONLY PAY FOR THE DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSED FROM THE ACCIDENT NOT THE PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. SO WHAT AM I TO DO? *TR
