VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY, GOING ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT ON MY DASH CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. ONCE I SHOWED TO A STOP I CUT THE ENGINE OFF, WHICH STALLED AND SHOOK WHILE IT TURNED OFF. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON, AND AFTER A QUARTER MILE THE RED LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD TO RESTART THE PROCESS. HAD A MECHANIC READ IT WITH A COMPUTER BUT NO ERROR CAME UP, AS THE LIGHT WASN'T ON AT THE MOMENT. ON THE WAY HOME IT CUT OFF AGAIN.

"TAKATA RECALL " RECENT AND ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY 08 DODGE AVENGER IS THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON RANDOMLY, FROM START UP AND WHILE DRIVING. AIRBAG HAS NEVER DEPLOYED OR NO INJURIES TO VEHICLE, HAS BEEN ON AND OFF SINCE LAST YEAR. OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ALSO ON, GOT THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACED, WOULD START OFF FROM START UP AND WOULD COME ON AND OFF CONSTEADLY. FRONT DRIVERSSEATBELT ALSO STOPPED RETRACTING HAVE RECENTLY HAD THAT CHANGED AS WELL. THE TPMS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW, TURNS ON AT START UP AND STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALSO BEEN ON FOR AWHILE NOW TOO, FROM START UP AND WHILE DRIVING, JUST STAYS ON, SINCE A FEW MONTHS OF VEHICLE PURCHASE, WAS ACTUALLY STILL MAKING PAYMENTS WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT, CAME OFF AND BACK ON 2 MONTHS LATER, BEEN STRUGGLING WITH IT EVERY SINCE. JUST HAVE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND TPMS LIGHT ON AS WELL. HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE ALTERNATOR 3 TIMES ON THIS CAR ALREADY TOO. MY CAR DRIVES FINE NOW, DON'T WANT TO JUST KEEP IGNORING THE PROBLEM, WOULD REALLY LIKE THAT FIXED.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET WITH MY VEHICLE IN REGARDS TO THIS RECALL, BUT AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED IN REGARDS TO THE SAFETY FEATURES (AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER) THAT WERE DETERMINED AS DEFECTIVE BY THIS RECALL. ONE OF THE PRIMARY REASONS THAT I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WAS DUE TO THE GOOD SAFETY RATINGS IT RECEIVED, SO I AM VERY UPSET THAT THIS IS NOT BEING FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE FORCED TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE DUE TO THIS RECALL, BUT WITHOUT ANY ESTIMATE ON WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE, I DO NOT APPRECIATE THE PREDICAMENT I AM IN WHERE I DO NOT HAVE A SAFELY DRIVABLE VEHICLE AND AM ESSENTIALLY ROLLING THE DICE BY DRIVING AROUND IN A DEATH TRAP ANY TIME I DO USE IT. I AM HOPING THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL A BAD THING HAPPENS BEFORE I CAN GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED PROPERLY. ANY INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION OF THIS REQUEST TO EXPEDITE THE RESOLUTION OF THIS ISSUE.

WE HIT A PATCH OF SLUSH AND ICE, THE REAR TIRES LOCKED AND THE CAR SLAMMED HEAD-ON INTO A CONCRETE PILLAR. THE CAR'S BUMPER, GRILLE, SUPPORT BAR ETC WERE SEVERELY DAMAGED AND THE CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE RADIATOR WAS FOLDED INTO A "V". THE DRIVER'S HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL RESULTING IN A CONCUSSION. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS FLASHING ON/OFF WHEN WE USED THE TURN SIGNAL. THE CAR DIDN'T START OR SHUT OFF AT TIMES. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM/AIRBAG. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I WAS IN A RECENT ACCIDENT THAT CAUSED OVER $4,500 IN DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF MY 2011 DODGE AVENGER. I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TRAVELLING AT OVER 20MPH AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I BRACED MYSELF AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL AND THANKFULLY WAS NOT INJURED. THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO OPEN RECALLS FOR THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT RESTRAINT. THE POLICE OFFICER ON SCENE WAS BEWILDERED THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD NOT DEPLOYED, AND I'M NOT CERTAIN THEY WOULD WORK OR NOT WITH THE ACTIVE RECALL DUE TO THE TWO MAIN SAFEY FEATURES OF THIS VEHICLE. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE IS BEING "TESTED" BY DODGE/CHRYSLER GROUP BUT THEY HAVE YET TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE TILL THEY DEEM THE CAR IS IN FACT SAFE TO DRIVE AND OPERATE. I REFUSE TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR IN THE EVENT I'M IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT AND THE TWO SAFETY DEVICES I RELY ON DO NOT WORK. DODGE/CHYSLER IS REFUSING TO ANSWER ANY INQUIRIES I HAVE AND I AM TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THEM AT THIS TIME.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH OUR CAR LATELY. FIRST PROBLEM WE HAD WAS WITH OUR ALARM SYSTEM. THE ALARM HAS GONE OFF ON US BOTH WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND WHEN THE CAR IS ON. THE HORN STARTS AND WON'T GO OFF UNTIL AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES NO MATTER WHAT WE DO. WE HAVE TRY TURNING IT OF WITH OUR KEY ALARM, TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF, UNLOCKING THE DOORS BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. YESTERDAY WE WERE DRIVING OUR CAR AND THE CAR STALL AND WE WERE LUCKING TO BE ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE SAFETLY SINCE WE WERE COMING TO A STOP. AFTER A COUPLE ATTEMPTS, WE GOT THE CAR BACK ON AND RUNNING. I HAVE SEARCH THIS PROBLEM AND I FOUND THAT IT COULD BE THE TPMS. AS TO WHAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE CAR LATELY, WE ARE ALMOST SURE IT IS THIS. WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS RECALL WAS PERFORM BACK IN APRIL OF 2008 AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THE CAR IS GOING THROUGH NOW AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART FOR US AGAIN. CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THE DEALERSHIP IS REQUIRED TO SWITCH THIS PART FOR US AGAIN SINCE OUR CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE OR IF WE WOULD HAVE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
