2010 Dodge Avenger

MORE THEN (30) TIMES INTERMITTENTLY ELECTRICAL ISSUES OCCUR CAUSING FLASHING (NUMBERS/DECK/FUSE/BLANK) ODOMETER, POWER FOR RADIO/TIME GOES OUT, SECURITY SYSTEM DOES NOT SHUT OFF OR WILL NOT UNLOCK THE CAR, THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING, THE WINDOWS WONT WORK, AND STARTING THE CAR CAN TAKE SEVERAL CRANKS. MORE IMPORTANTLY AS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, ME AND MY DAUGHTER WERE STUCK INSIDE MY CAR FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF BECAUSE THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE WOULD NOT ALLOW ANY OF THE DOORS TO UNLOCK. THE 2008-2010 DODGE AVENGER IS KNOWN FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND ELECTRICAL FIRES. DODGE IS NOT COVERING THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES UNDER WARRANTY. I DID EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS SUCH AS THE DOOR PANEL BUTTON, TURNING ON AND OFF THE CAR, SWITCHING GEARS, DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT TO TRIGGER THE AUTO SPEED LOCK, GIVING THE KEY TO SOMEONE THROUGH A SMALL GAP IN THE WINDOW TO HAVE THEM USE THE KEY MANUALLY, PRESSED THE UNLOCK ON THE KEY REMOTE, NONE OF THIS WORKED TO UNLOCK THE CAR. I WAS EVEN ON THE PHONE WITH THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHILE THIS OCCURRED AND THEY COULD NOT TELL ME HOW TO GET OUT. WE JUST HAD TO WAIT OUT THE ELECTRICAL "FIT" THE CAR HAS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE IT IS INTERMITTENT, HOWEVER THE CAR WILL BE AT THE DEALERSHIP THIS COMING TUESDAY AT MY EXPENSE. IT IS A HUGE RISK TO DRIVE THIS CAR DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. I DON'T WANT MY DAUGHTER, (STILL IN A CAR SEAT) MYSELF, OR MY HUSBAND TO BURN TO DEATH STUCK IN THIS CAR DUE TO THE LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY FROM DODGE OR MANUFACTURER BECAUSE ITS HARD TO DIAGNOSE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE SPECIFICALLY ELECTRICAL WITH THIS CAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 DODGE AVENGER, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WARNING LIGHT WILL FLASH ON AND THEN GO OFF, WHEN IT IS ON THE CAR DROPS SPEED QUICKLY AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE LAST MONTH. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HAS ALMOST HAD ME GET HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES AS MY CAR DROPS SPEED WITH NO WARNING. THE LIGHT NEVER STAYS ON LONG ENOUGH TO PULL ANY CODES FROM IT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE IS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY'S BEING FAULTY THAT DODGE IS PUTTING IN 2008 - 2010 AVENGERS. I HAVE NOTIFIED DODGE OF MY ISSUE AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THEY WERE SORRY FOR MY ISSUE AND THAT WAS IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AS SOMEONE CAN END BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN THEIR CAR STALLS LIKE THIS WITH NO WARNING. THIS PART IS FAULTY AS PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED AND NOT EVEN 6 MONTHS LATER THEY HAVE HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AGAIN, AS THE ONLY REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE IS FROM DODGE, WHICH SHOWS THE PARTS ARE FAULTY. ONCE THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLS OUT, IT LOSES POWER STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES WHICH IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND GET SOMEONE KILLED. PLEASE RECALL THIS PART ON THE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED, I DO NOT WANT IT TO BE ME OR ONE OF MY CHILDREN RIDING IN MY CAR THAT ENDS UP GETTING KILLED FROM AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT BECAUSE DODGE WAS NOT MADE TO RECALL THESE FAULTY PARTS ON THEIR AVENGERS. I PLAN ON PURSUING THIS ISSUE UNTIL THERE IS SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION FOR CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE THESE MODEL CARS FROM DODGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD, THE ENGINE SEIZED, AND THE ETC WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ETC NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,200.

I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM RYDELL SAN FERNANDO ON 12/2013 AND THE A/C, HEATER, WIPERS WENT OUT ON MAY AND THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. THEN ON 9/2014 THE BREAKS WENT COMPLETE OUT WITHOUT NOTICE NOW THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT THE REPAIR SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT HAS BEEN AT DAVID ELLIS CHRYSLER FOR OVER 2 WEEKS AND THEY CAN'T FIX THE VEHICLE, IT IS A LEMON AND I STILL OWE 12,000 ON IT. *TR

WHEN I GO TO BRAKE FROM SPEEDS OF 25 MPH AND UP, THE CAR STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWLY AND HOLDS THE STEERING WHEEL STRONGER TO COUNTER THE SHAKING AND NOT LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE TO DO WHEN BRAKING. THE FASTER THE VEHICLE IS GOING, THE WORSE IT SHAKE SWHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SEVERAL OTHER CAR PLACES TO HAVE THE BRAKES CHECKED AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY'VE CHANGED PADS, ROTORS, ETC. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO FIX. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE STEERING SHAFT WAS LEAKING FLUID AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.
