ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2014 DODGE AVENGER HAS A FAULTY TIPM. THIS HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO LOSE ALL ELECTRICAL POWER INCLUDING ENGINE STALLING, LACK OF POWER STEERING, AND NO LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TURNING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION! NOW IT HAS CAUSED MY WIPERS TO STOP WORKING! THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD. CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS AND HAS TRIED TO IGNORE, DENY, EVEN COVER IT UP SINCE BEFORE 2008. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OWNERS HAVE BEEN DANGEROUSLY AFFECTED BY THIS. I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS HASN'T BEEN FRONT PAGE NEWS! AS AN UBER AND LYFT DRIVER I CAN'T MAKE A LIVING NOW BECAUSE OF THIS. CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY BEEN SUED OVER THIS AND NEED TO BE CONTINUED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THEY HAVE GIVEN NO EFFORT TO RECALL ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES YET, ONLY A FEW MODELS THAT WERE HEAVILY MENTIONED IN THE LAWSUIT. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. THIS PART COSTS AT LEAST $1000 FOR THE CONSUMER TO REPLACE ONLY TO BE ENDANGERED BY IT YET AGAIN. CHRYSLER HAS ACTED LAZILY AND UNSCRUPULOUSLY REGARDING THIS MATTER AND I NEED MY VEHICLE FIXED. AMERICAN CONSUMERS DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS. THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR FROM A CAR MANUFACTURER IS UNACCEPTABLE. WE MUST HAVE A NO CHARGE RECALL ASAP.

I PURCHASED MY DODGE AVENGER IN THE MONTH OF JUNE AND IT HAS BEEN RUNNING FINE. THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WITH MY CAR IS THE FACT THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE BLOWS OUT COLD AIR. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE CAR DID THAT UNTIL THE WEATHER CHANGED AND IT WAS TIME TO USE MY HEAT. I LOOKED ONLINE BEFORE FILLING OUT THIS FORM AND IT TURNS OUT THAT ALMOST EVERYONE WHO PURCHASED THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS WELL. ALSO EVERYONE SAYS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHY THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. I'VE ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR 4 MONTHS AND EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS FINE.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, SEAT BELTS
ON 10/1/2016 A RECALL FOR CALLED FOR MY 2010 DODGE AVENGER SXT. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 16V-668. THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS. I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE, AND TOLD THEM THAT THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT MUST BE REPLAYED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE CURRENTLY ARENT ANY PARTS AVAILABLE, AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. THAT POSES A HUGE SAFETY RISK BECAUSE IN EVENT OF A CRASH AIRBAGS ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP SAVE LIVES. WITH THESE ISSUES GOING ON AND IF I WERE IN A WRECK MY LIFE IS AT STEAK. I ASKED HER ABOUT LOANER CARS, OR IF ANYTHING ELSE COULD BE DONE TO INCREASE SAFETY. THE ONLY THING SHE SAID THAT CAN BE DONE IS JUST WAIT IT OUT. WITH MY SAFETY BEING AT RISK EVERY TIME I DRIVE, I COULD BE KILLED BEFORE PARTS EVEN COME IN. I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL JUST WAITING IT OUT, AND PUTTING MY LIFE IN THE HANDS OF DODGE. I FEEL LIKE IF THEY CANT CURRENTLY REPLACE THE PARTS, THEY EITHER NEED TO REPLACE THE CAR OR LOAN ONE THAT WORKS EFFICIENTLY. ALSO BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BREAKS ON 2010. IT STATED THAT THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH AN IMPROPERLY FORMED OR MISSING BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS COULD RESULT IN BRAKE FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH. CHECKING THE CAR-FAX THAT I WAS GIVEN THIS WAS NOT REPLACED OR LOOKED AT, AND NOW I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES. SO NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS AND BREAKS, BUT A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY LIFE BEING AT RISK.
