WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY (55 MPH), DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER SUDDENLY WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKES AND ELECTRICAL POWER WAS LOST. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. VEHICLE LOSING ALL POWER SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WHY NO WARNING WAS GIVEN AS TO ANY ISSUES THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SAFETY HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING FULL SPEED DOWN THE INTERSTATE. APPROX. 75 MPH. THE SOUND WAS SO SUDDEN IT STARTLED ME AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK. NOW THE HEADREST WILL NOT "POP" BACK INTO POSITION AS DOCUMENTED BY DODGE LEAVING THE HEADREST FULLY DEPLOYED AND COMPLETELY USELESS. *TT *TR

MY FIANCE'S GRANDSON BUMPED THE BACK OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE HEAD REST BLEW OPEN. LUCKILY I, WAS SEATED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT BUT WAS LEANING FORWARD AT THE TIME. WE WERE SITTING STILL AND GETTING THE GRANDCHILDREN IN POSITION AND SEATBELTED IN.

I RECEIVED AN EMAIL MONTHS AGO THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY AIRBAGS AND AN ISSUE WITH THE SEATBELTS THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY DURING A CRASH. A JUST RECENTLY RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM CARMAX WARNING ME OF THE SAME. I NEVER RECEIVED A REMEDY-IS-AVAILABLE EMAIL SO I LOOKED IT UP ON THIS SITE AND WAS INFORMED THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE RECALL IS INCOMPLETE. IT HAS BEEN CLOSE TO A YEAR, AND I WOULD LIKE THIS REMEDIED SO I AND MY PASSENGERS ARE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE IN MY CAR. THANK YOU!

MY AIRBAG SENSOR HAS BEEN ON HAD A MECHANIC HOOK IT UP TO THE DAIGNOSTIC MACHINE AND WAS TOLD IT STILL HAD TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG IN THE HEAD REST WHICH WAS ALREADY SUPPOSED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.

I HAVE TODAY OWNED THIS USED 2013 DODGE AVENGER AND THERE ARE 3 PROBLEMS THAT MAKE ME CRINGE. FIRST SOMEHOW THE BACK BUSHINGS ARE DONE ON THE CONTROL ARM, IT MAKES A VERY LOUD NOISE OVER BUMPS. SECOND THE AC IS LEAKING AND NOW HAVE TO TAKE IT TO DODGE BECAUSE THEY MAKE IT SO I CANT DO IT MYSELF AND WANT ME TO PAY 1000 BECAUSE ITS A NAME YOUR PRICE KINDA THING, JERKS. LASTLY AFTER ONLY 6 YEARS I HAVE RUST EVERYWHERE. I WASH MY CAR EVERY 2 WEEKS BUT DODGE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO USE THE CHEAPEST METAL TO BUILD THEIR CARS. NEVER GONNA BUY A DODGE AGAIN, THEY MAKE AMERICA LOOK BAD WITH THE GARBAGE IT PUTS OUT, HOW CAN ANYBODY TAKE PRIDE IN THE CAR THEY OWN IF ITS CRAP.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY HUSBAND WENT TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE ETC LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER, WENT FROM 40MPH TO 30MPH!!! WE COULDN'T PASS AND LUCKILY THERE WASN'T AN ACCIDENT! ANOTHER TIME AT A STOP SIGN, HE ACCELERATED AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE COULD ONLY GO 20 MPH, THANK GOD NO CARS WERE COMING!! WE'VE BE TOLD IT'S THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS WE ARE! THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE, IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT! HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE INVESTIGATED SOON!!! I'VE ALSO NOTIFIED DODGE, THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME I'M ON MY OWN!!

AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE AVENGER ON THE TURNPIKE AT SPEED OF 75MPH MY RED WARNING LIGHT THAT LOOKS LIKE A LIGHTNING BOLT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION WARNING LIGHTS. MY VEHICLE TENDED TO HESITATE ,JERK AND REDUCE SPEED DRAMATICALLY. THE VEHICLE WOULDNT EXCELLORATENO MORE THAN 10MPH. I ATTEMPTED TO STEER OFF TO A BRAKEDOWN LANE BUT WHILE DOING SO I NEARLY GOT SIDESWIPED AND REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REVOLVING AROUND THIS ISSUE. I AM NOT THE ONLY DRIVER THAT HAD NEAR MISSES WITH AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER PLEASE, FOR THE SAFTEY OF ALL DRIVERS. THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. DRIVER EXPERIENCED IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER IN VEHICLE & INABILITY TO INCREASE SPEED, CAUSING REAR TRAFFIC TO TAKE CAUTIOUS ACTION. VEHICLE SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 10 - 20 MPH. CAR WAS PARKED FOR A DAY. UPON STARTING AGAIN, NO ISSUE/ WARNING LIGHTS. ONE MONTH LATER, SAME ISSUE. UPON RESTART, WARNING LIGHTS PERSIST. VEHICLE AT OVER 90,000 MILES

RECALL ON THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN REMEDY YET...THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED

CAR OVERHEATS WHEN STOPPED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY (BUMPER TO BUMPER, RUSH HR. )AND ON LOCAL STREETS AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. COOLING FANS NOT COMING ON. HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH COOLING SYSTEM THAT WAS UNDER RECALL. I CONTACTED DEALERSHIP WHO ASKED FOR MY VIN # AND SAID THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE PERTAINING TO THE COOLING SYSTEM.

TAKATA RECALL THIS CAR KEEPS BURNING OUT 15AMP FUSE. WE'VE NARROWED IT DOWN TO SOME FAULTY WIRES CONNECTED TO RAMPSHIFT SENOR, BUT THE CONNECTOR TO THE SENOR IS NOT AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE.

AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING. IT CAN STAY ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES THEN TURN OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. CAR HAS 60,000 MILES. LOCAL DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT WILL COST OVER 120 TO DIAGNOSE. I WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS PROBLEM IF THE VEHICLE IS TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT WAS A REPRESENTATIVE OF A DEALER THAT CURRENTLY OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, ABRASIVE DEBRIS WAS FOUND IN THE BALANCE SHAFT BEARING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE BALANCE SHAFT MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V552000 (ENGINE); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,866.

WHILE STATIONARY, SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE FAILED. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) INDICATOR LIGHT AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) WERE BOTH ILLUMINATED FOR EVERY FAILED ATTEMPT. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF ACCOMPANIED BY A CLICKING SOUND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE. THE ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION WAS HUMID AND COOL. THERE WAS CONDENSATION PRESENT ON THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL HOURS LATER, ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE. IT HAD A WEAK IGNITION WITH THE INSTRUMENTS LIGHTS BRIEFLY DIMMING, BUT THE ENGINE STARTED. ATTEMPTED ADDITIONAL START-UP CYCLES TO CHECK IF THE ENGINE WOULD START AGAIN. THE ENGINE STARTED EACH TIME. THE ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION DURING THE SECOND SET OF START-UP ATTEMPTS WAS WARM AND HUMID. NO CONDENSATION WAS PRESENT ON THE VEHICLE.

I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY, GOING ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT ON MY DASH CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. ONCE I SHOWED TO A STOP I CUT THE ENGINE OFF, WHICH STALLED AND SHOOK WHILE IT TURNED OFF. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON, AND AFTER A QUARTER MILE THE RED LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD TO RESTART THE PROCESS. HAD A MECHANIC READ IT WITH A COMPUTER BUT NO ERROR CAME UP, AS THE LIGHT WASN'T ON AT THE MOMENT. ON THE WAY HOME IT CUT OFF AGAIN.

8-21-2017 HAD A RECALL PREFORMED FOR A AIRBAG ISSUE. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE THERE WAS STILL A CODE IN THE SYSTEM FOR THE DRIVER ACTIVE HEADREST CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN. I HAD ALREADY INVESTIGATED THE AIRBAG LIGHT ( MARCH 2017) AND FOUND MANY SITES STATING A BROKEN WIRE IN DRIVERS SEAT. WHEN I GOT THE CAR HOME I FINALLY INVESTIGATE THE WIRE ISSUE AND FOUND THE BLACK WIRE APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES BEFORE A YELLOW CONNECTOR WHERE A PLASTIC STRETCHER WAS APPLIED BROKEN INSIDE THE FIBER COVERING OF THE 2 WIRES. I WAS A MECHANIC FOR 30 YEARS SO I STRIPPED THE WIRES AND REATTACHED. THE LIGHT IS STILL ON SO I AM THINKING WHEN IT BROKE OR WHAT EVER IT CAUSED A SYSTEM ISSUE AND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER AT NO CHARGE. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST CHRYSLER PRODUCTS I HAVE OWNED. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID IT COULD COST AROUND 400 TO FIX.

THE HEAT DOES NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS RARELY BEEN TESTED AS THE CAR DOES NOT GET USED IN THE WINTER MUCH.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AROUND 30MPH THE VEHICLE LOSS SOME POWER AND DROPPED TO 10-15MPH. DROVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF TO SEE IF IT WOULD STOP. TURNED CAR ON WITH NO TROUBLE THEN STARTED DRIVING THEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. *TR

AND MY CAR DID HAVE A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2016 BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY DODGE OR TAKATA. I HAVE OWN THIS CAR SINCE 2013 BRAND NEW AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 3 YEARS, AT ANY POINT IN TIME DURING THAT ME AND MY WIFE COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT AND DIED BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T WORK. I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR IF I KNEW THIS, I WAS LIED TO BY DODGE AND SPORT DURST WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND I WANT JUSTICE. *TR - (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS
