ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO, MY CAR WOULD NOT START. SINCE IT HAD ABOUT 55,000 MILES ON IT, I HAD A NEW 5-YEAR WARRANTY BATTERY PUT IN ON APRIL 5, 2015. HAD IT SERVICED ON APRIL 18 AND 25 BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START; AFTER HAVING TO HAVE IT JUMPED A FEW TIMES REPLACED BATTERY ON AUGUST 28. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES IT NOT STARTING, TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP ON OCTOBER 29, 2015 AND THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AGAIN. ON DECEMBER 1, 2016, IT WOULD NOT START, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS CORROSION. WOULD NOT START DEC. 5, DEALERSHIP SHUT THE A/C COMPRESSOR OFF ON DEC. 6. FEBRUARY 12, 2017, MY CAR WOULD NOT START, ONCE JUMPED, DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS NOW. WHEN I AM HOME, I ALWAYS KEEP MY CAR IN A GARAGE EVERY NIGHT.

WE HAVE NEVER HAD A FLAT TIRE UNTIL WE BOUGHT THIS CAR, THE MONITORING VALVE STEMS HAVE TO BE DEFECTIVE. WE HAVE HAD THREE BLOWOUTS ALL ON THE HIGHWAY WITHIN THE PAST THREE YEARS DUE TO THESE STEMS. IS THERE A RECALL? IF NOT THERE SHOULD BE. WE WOULD GET RID OF THEM BUT THEY TELL US THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WILL STAY ON. THERE IS NO WARNING, THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON AND WE CHECK OUR TIRE PRESSURE. I SEE DODGE HAS HAD RECALLS ON THESE STEMS BUT NOT FOR THE AVENGER. EACH TIME WE LOSE THE TIRE TOO, BY THE TIME WE CAN PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. IT COSTS US $120 DOLLARS EACH TIME FOR THE TIRE NEW MONITORING VALVE STEM, HAVING IT PROGRAMMED AND A TIRE, ALREADY $360.00 AND THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING KILLED CHANGING THE TIRE EACH TIME. CAN YOU HELP US? WE HAVE ONE ORIGINAL ONE LEFT AND WE KNOW IT IS GOING TO GO? THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM MILFORD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DEALER, MILFORD PA 18337, PHONE NUMBER [XXX].
