NHTSA Complaint #10205845 — 2008 DODGE AVENGER

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, AUTOMATIC IN DRIVE, WHEN SIGNAL CHANGED, REMOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE AND CAR REVERSED WHILE STILL IN DRIVE HITTING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. THIS EVENT HAPPENED AFTER 5 DAYS OF HAVING POSSESSION OF THE CAR. SECOND EVENT HAPPENED 20 DAYS OF OWNERSHIP. AGAIN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, CAR IN DRIVE, WOULD NOT MOVE. CAR HAS TO BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES TO DATE. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP EACH TIME AND PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I FEEL THIS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE CAR GOING INTO REVERSE, WHILE IN DRIVE. *JB
