"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.

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.

WHEN FILLING THE TANK ALL THE WAY TO FULL FROM EMPTY GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AND YOU WILL HEAR THE "CLICK" NOZZLE IS STILL IN FUEL HOLE AND FUEL SPRAYS EVERYWHERE. RUNS DOWN VEHICLE ONTO BRAKE SYSTEM. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. VEHICLE WAS OFF AND PARKED.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN THE SWITCH IS ON THEY WILL TURN OFF AND ON BY THEMSELVES. FAST TO SLOW AND SLOW TO FAST. CAUSES VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS IN ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS MOVING, OBVIOUSLY IN RAINY CONDITIONS. MOST RECENT ACCURATE 2-20-17 HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WON'T CLOSE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER AVENGERS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT NOT FOR MY CAR ITSELF. HAD TO DRIVE TWO HOURS BACK HOME WITH THE DOOR TIED SHUT. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE CHECKED INTO FOR OTHER AVENGERS, MAYBE EXPAND THE RECALL? CAR WAS PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

OUR 2008 DODGE AVENGER SPEWS FUEL OUT OF THE FUEL PORT WHILE FUELING AT ANY GAS STATION EVERY TIME WE PUT FUEL IN THE CAR. OUR DODGE 2008 DODGE NITRO HAD A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS REPAIRED, WHY ISN'T THERE ONE FOR THE AVENGER?
