2008 DODGE AVENGER Complaints

AIR BAG CONTINUOUSLY GOES ON. CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. TIRE PRESSURE WAS AN ISSUE BUT HAD THAT FIXED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE READER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, LOOSE FUEL CAP, AND THE BATTERY INPUT VOLTAGE WAS LOW. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION AND THE LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT SPOKE TO JENKINS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (2561 US-27, LAFAYETTE, GA 30728) WHO STATED THAT LABOR WOULD COST $85 PER HOUR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. HAD THE WIPER MOTOR AND SWITCH REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. WIPERS WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND INCH UP AND DOWN BUT NEVER GOING BACK TO ORIGINAL POSITION. I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY PUSH THE WIPERS BACK DOWN EACH TIME. ALSO, HEADLIGHT FLICKER. VEHICLE HAS ALSO STARTED BY ITSELF WITHOUT THE KEY OR REMOTE STARTER FUNCTION. THIS ALL POINTS TO THE TIPM SINCE IT CONTROLS ALL OF THESE FUNCTIONS.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE MY CAR ALSO HAS THE SAME AIR BAG LIGHT PROBLEM THAT HAVE BEEN LISTED NUMEROUS TIME (BUT FOR SOME ODD REASON MY VIN ISN'T ONE OF THE RECALLED CARS) ONLINE. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL COME ON AND GO OFF CONTINUOUSLY. READING AROUND I HAVE FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM LIES WITHIN THE SEAT TRACK SENSOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ON ALL CARS AND NOT JUST THE ONES CHRYSLER DEEMS TO WANT TO FIX. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD LEAD TO SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO MAKE THEM DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX ALL THE CARS, NOT THE SELECT FEW THEY (CHRYSLER) DEEM TO MIGHT BE HAVING PROBLEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED, THE HORN, HAZARD LIGHTS, TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR REPRODUCE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EXHAUSTIVE RESEARCH CONCLUDED THAT THE TIPM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V152000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,000.

I WAS DRIVING AND AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND GOING OFF. EVEN AFTER I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT DID THE SAME THING.

2008 DODGE AVENGER STALLS OUT WHEN WET OR COLD OUT. HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES AND MY HUSBAND HAS ALMOST BEEN HIT. MECHANICS CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. JUST HAD A SENSOR REPLACED AND TIME UP BC WE SOLD THE CAR AND BOUGHT A NEW CAR BIT A FAMILY MEMBER BOUGHT IT AND IN AFRAID NOW I'M READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS! WE WANT TO GET THIS FIXED FOR HER AND WHY IS THERE NO RECALL???? THESE COMPLAINTS ARE ON SO MANY FORUMS HELP PLEASE??!

THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS THE HORN RANDOMLY HONKING WHICH PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE TO THE POINT IT WAS BLARING AND WOULD NOT STOP WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. WE HAD THE HORN HARD WIRED BYPASSING THE T.I.P.M. RANDOMLY THE THROTTLE IS UNRESPONSIVE AND THEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT RESTART FOR A WHILE. WE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.
