DON'T MATTER WHETHER I AM DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING. THIS VEHICLE WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. YET STALL RIGHT BACK UP. ALL STARTED AFTER THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING LIGHT CAME ON. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM. I HAVE BEEN TAKEN CHANCES, HOPING THAT IT WILL GO AWAY LIKE IT STARTED. MY REPAIR SERVICE CAN'T FINE THE PROBLEM AND SAID TO CHECK FOR RECALLS. THESE UNSAFE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE. HELP NEEDED

HAVE BEEN HAVING MANY ISSUES WITH WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING ALL OF A SUDDEN AND SOMETIMES DO NOT WORK FOR DAYS. WITH NO WARNING WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND STUTTER.

I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH AND THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. CHRYSLER APPARENTLY REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH A FAULTY TIPM. TODAY I EXPERIENCED A TOTAL POWER FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. EVERYTHING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING....NO WIPERS, TURN SIGNALS, HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, INSTRUMENT PANEL. PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AFTER ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED WHILE TURNING. TURNED CAR OFF RESTARTED A FEW TIMES AND THEN EVERYTHING STARTED WORKING EXCEPT WIPERS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED!!

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.

CAME HOME FROM WORK ONE DAY PARKED CAR AND WHEN CAME OUT LATER THAT DAY TO LEAVE MY CAR WOULDNT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. NOW HAVE TO PUSH A PINK BUTTON IN DOWN BY LEFT SIDE OF SHIFTER TO RELEASE IT TO SHIFT. I FEEL THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF BUMPED WRONG ACCIDENT MAT OCCUR IF IT LOCKS UP

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??!

FUI A LA AGENCIA DODGE Y SE ME INFORMO QUE NO HA SIDO LLAMADO PARA REVISION. AUN ESTOY PENDIENTE QUE SE ME AVISE PARA CUANDO.

NEED DEFINITE PROBLEM SOLUTION. OR RECALL IT TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG.ITS BEEN STALLING EVERYWHERE .. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON THE HIGH WAY

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

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.

SPRING BROKE , CAR STUCK IN PARK...

RUNNING RICH AND CODE P2004 HAS TO DO WITH INTAKE BEING STUCK OPEN.

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?

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.

'TAKATA RECALL" I WAS LEAVING THE HOSPITAL ON JANUARY 1, 2017, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND AS I SHIFTED TO DRIVE IT WAS NOTICEABLY SHIFTING ROUGH (NOT THE GEAR, THE SHIFT STICK)I WAS PROCEEDING TO PAY FOR PARKING AND A LADY WAS WAITING BEHIND ME FRUSTRATED. I MADE IT HOME WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAS UNABLE TO START IT AGAIN. I NOTICED ALSO THAT THE SHIFTER SAYS THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND THE DASH READS THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE. *TR

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.

BRAKES : I NEED TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS EVERY 3 MONTHS. (I RUN OVER 1600 MILES MONTHLY) A/C : THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS FREEZING COLD AIR AND THE DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS HOT. SUSPENSION : THE REAR KNUCKLE BUSHINGS FAILS TOO MUCH.

ETC FAILURE ( ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ) APPROX. 100,00O ON VEHICLE, HIGHWAY GOING STEADY 65MPH AND LIGHT CAME ON NEAR TOTAL POWER FAILURE. RESTARTED VEHICLE SEEMED TO CLEAR ITSELF. TOOK TO DODGE MECHANIC THE COMPUTER SAYS IT DID NOT HAPPEN.. REPLACED THE (ETC) AND CAR IS STILL NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY..I HAVE ZERO FAITH THAT THE CAR IS SAFE. RESEARCHED THIS ETC ISSUE WHICH SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD.

WHILE DRIVING A LIGHTNING BOLT IN PARENTHESES SYMBOL POPPED UP ON THE DASH. CAR BEGAN IDLING AND WOULD NOT EXCEED 10 MILES PER HOUR. THEN THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND LIGHTS BEGAN TO DIM. SO I PARKED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. THE CAR WOULD NOT START BACK UP. I GOT IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BATTERY. SO I GOT IT REPLACED, THAT SAME DAY ABOUT 6 HOURS LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. I RESEARCHED THE SYMBOL AND A LOT OF RELATED STORIES WERE DISCUSSED. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOME NEED FOR A RECALL BECAUSE OTHERS WEREN'T AS FORTUNATE AS US. PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE LIVES ARE AT STAKE. THANK YOU

A WEEK LATER THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. STOPPED AT RED LIGHT ON VERY BUSY STREET AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO MECHANIC. IT STARTED.
