2008 Dodge Avenger

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE IN THE ENGINE AREA. THE CONTACT DROVE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND STATED THE ENGINE LOCKED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I WAS FILLING MY GAS TANK UP AND THE HANDLE DID NOT TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY. I KNOW THAT THE NOZZLE WAS FULLY INSERTED, I AM CAREFUL ABOUT THIS SINCE SOMETHING SIMILAR HAS ALREADY HAPPENED WITH THIS CAR. THE FIRST TIME I WAS CLEANING MY WINDSHIELD SO I DID NOT IMMEDIATELY NOTICE THAT GAS HAD SPILLED OUT AND WAS ACTUALLY POURING ONTO THE GROUND. NOW I AM EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN I FILL UP. I DON'T THINK THAT THE PUMPS ARE THE PROBLEM, I THINK IT IS SOMETHING WITH THE CAR. *TR

I OWN A 2008 DODGE AVENGER R/T. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF DOES NOT ENGAGE AND THE FUEL ERUPTS OUT OF THE CAR. THE ONLY TWO OPTIONS FOR A FIX ARE TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK OR GUESS THE AMOUNT OF FUEL TO PUT INTO THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS ON ANY AND EVERY PUMP THAT I USE REGARDLESS OF WHAT PUMP OR WHAT STATION I GO TO. *TR

PURCHASED MY 2008 DODGE AVENGER IN APRIL 2008 AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM WITH IT FIRST THE AIR BAGS WERE RECALLED THEN THE LATCHES ON THE DOORS WERE RECALLED. THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT JUST NEVER GOES OFF MOST RECENTLY THE FUEL PUMP WENT ON THE VEHICLE COSTING ME CLOSE TO 700 AND NOW THE ALTERNATOR WHICH IS GOING TO COST ME ANOTHER 600. WHAT KIND OF VEHICLE DID DODGE BUILD. THIS IS SOME BS AN ALL OF THIS IS WHILE THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 65000 MILES OR LESS N IT. *TR

IN LESS THAN TWO MINUTES MY ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS IN FLAMES. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS. DODGE IS RESPONSIBLE! *TR
