2011 DODGE AVENGER Complaints

WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND RIGHT AWAY MY CAR STALLED WHILE IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 70MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF MY CAR THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO GET SAFELY HOME. WHEN I WENT DOWN THE STREET TO CHECK TO SEE IF IT WORKED, IT STALLED ON ME AGAIN.

ENGINE SHUT OF WHILE DRIVING THIS HAPPENS MANY TIMES EVEN NOW I CAN'T DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DINT KNOW WHEN IS GOING TO SHUT OF.

I REPLACED MY CAR WITH NEW BRAKES LAST YEAR AND I AM ALREADY HAVING TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN. ALSO, IT KEEPS DYING OUT. I SEEN ON HERE THERE WAS A RECALL WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I THINK THE ISSUE IS STILL AT HAND. I'VE SPENT MONEY ON TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND THE MECHANICS HERE IN MY AREA CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT. THIS CAR HAS SO MANY ISSUES ESPECIALLY DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. ALSO, MY CAR WILL JERK SOMETIMES WHEN I AM AT A STOP LIGHT. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I AM THINKING OF GETTING ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE THERE IS SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS ONE.

I GOT A LETTER IN MAIL NOV 2016 ABOUT A RECALL. THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE NO PARTS TIL AT LEAST JUNE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE A FAMILY IN THIS CAR. THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING NOW OR CONTACT ME AND GIVE ME A NEW CAR OR RENTAL WAITED LONG ENOUGH . MY CAR ALSO MAKES A NOISE THE COMPANY SAID ALOT OF THE CARS DO IT THEN WHY HASN'T IT BEEN RECALLED. IT IN THE HEATING SYSTEM. I LOVE MY CAR BUT NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IT IN AND WILL NOT BE RECOMMENDING DODGE TO ANYONE FROM NOW ON. THE NOISE HAPPENS 24/7 CAR ON OR OFF. THE RECALL IS FOR AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT SAFETY THAT IS A BIG DEAL. SO WHY ARE THEY DOING NOTHING TO HELP ANYONE WITH ONE OF THESE VEHICLES?? I WORRY EVERYTIME I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND WHEN MY KIDS ARE IN IT IF WE ARE EVEN SAFE. RECALL ISSUED IN NOV 6 MONTHS AGO!!!!

THIS IS AN UPDATE TO A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. I RECEIVED A RECALL BACK ON NOVEMBER 2016 FROM FCA. I CONTACTED FCA REGARDING THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS AND WOULD PUT ME ON A PRIORITY LIST AND CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HAD THE PARTS. STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF CONTACT AND ITS NOW APRIL 24TH 2017. I HAVE EMAILED DODGE CORPORATE OFFICE REGARDING THE SAFETY ISSUE OF MY VEHICLE ASKING FOR A NEW VEHICLE WITH NO SAFETY RECALL ISSUES OR COMPLETE MY RECALL. HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THEM. I WENT TO DODGE AND ASKED WHEN MY CAR WILL BE FIXED, THEY TOLD ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND COULD ONLY DO IT NOW IF IT WAS SAFETY RELATED. "WHICH IT CLEARLY IS." I HAVE RECEIVED NO INFORMATION ON WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE OR OFFERED AN ALTERNATIVE TO ENSURE I AM DRIVING A SAFE VEHICLE. IT IS CLEAR DODGE IS DOING NOTHING TO ENSURE THE DRIVERS OF THEIR VEHICLES ARE SAFE. I'M WRITING ON HERE IN HOPES TO GET HELP TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED OR GET A VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. IT IS DODGES OBLIGATION TO FULFILL ONE OF THESE. I WILL CONTINUE TO CONTACT EVERYONE I POSSIBLE CAN TO MAKE SURE DODGE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AND TO SOLVE DODGES PROBLEM.

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR AND THERE IS STILL NO REPAIR AVAILABLE AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN AS PASSENGERS SEP 13,2016 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBERS61 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER16V-668 RECALL STATUSRECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE SUMMARY THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES.

I RECEIVED A RECALL ON MY 2011 DODGE AVENGER BACK IN NOVEMBER 2016. I CALLED THE RECALL COMPANY LISTED ON THE RECALL NOTICE AND INFORMED THEM OF THE VIN ON MY VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY DID. GREAT!! I THEN CALLED STOCKTON DODGE AND INFORMED THEM IF THE SAME INFORMATION IN WHICH I GOT THE SAME ANSWER. I WAS PRETTY UNDERSTANDING AT FIRST. THEN TWO MONTHS PASS AND NO CALL OR EMAIL. I THEN CALL BOTH BACK AND GET THE SAME ANSWER. AGAIN TRYING TO BE UNDERSTANDING. AT THIS POINT I STARTED RESEARCHING THE RECALL AND FOUND THE INFORMATION ABOVE. I ASKED SEVERAL OUTSIDE SOURCES AND THEY INFORMED ME IF IT WAS SAFETY RELATED. (WHICH IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN IT IS) TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DEMAND TO HAVE THE VEHICLE FIXED. AT THIS POINT IT'S TWO MONTHS LATER AND I HEAD OVER TO STOCKTON DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM . ALSO AT THIS POINT MY SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT IS JAMMED AND THE END IS STUCK BUCKLED. I GO INTO THE SERVICE CENTER AND INFORM THEM THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR AND I'VE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN. I ALSO INFORM THEM IF THE SEAT BELT ISSUE. ALL THEY TELL ME IS THAT THE PARTS AREN'T IN AND THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE IT DONE NOW IS IF IT IS SAFETY RELATED. THEY PULL UP THE RECALL, SCANNING IT AND TELL ME IT'S NOT SAFETY RELATED. I WAS AMAZED BY WHAT I HEARD. THEN THE ONE SERVICE WORKING TOLD ME THERE WAS NO ONE THERE TO CHECK MY SEAT BELT AT THE TIME. I THEN ASKED THE INDIVIDUAL HOW IT WASN'T SAFETY RELATED WHEN THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY MY AIRBAGS WOULDN'T DEPLOY AND MY CARS SEAT BELT WAS ALREADY NOT WORKING. HE LOOKED AT ME WITH A BLANK STARE AND AGAIN TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS. I LEFT PRETTY UPSET. HOW DOES A COMPANY SELL U A CAR THAT IS NOT SAFE, THEN KNOWING IT'S NOT SAFE' DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. IT'S OUTRAGEOUS. TILL THIS DAY MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.
