Consumer Description
I PURCHASED A 2008 DODGE AVENGER LAST APRIL, BRAND NEW. I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE VEHICLE, THE LIGHTING ON THE DASH IS ALWAYS COMING ON, SO I AM CONSTANTLY TAKING IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY RUN THE DIAGNOSTICS AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS EVER WRONG. I HAD TO TAKE THE IT IN FOR A WARRANTY PROBLEM ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT. THEN THIS LAST TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS MAKING A FUNNY NOISE WITH THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID I HAVE A LEAK IN MY TRANSMISSION AND OIL TANK, OF COURSE THE ONLY THING ON THE DASH LIGHTING THIS TIME SAYS "TIRE PROBLEM". IT IS SUCH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, I RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A TURN IN AN INTERSECTION AND MY GAS LIGHT WASN'T ON AND THE GAGE SHOWED I HAD QUARTER OF A TANK. THE CAR HAS CAUSED ME NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THEN TO TOP IT OFF, I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO HOME FROM WORK AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE OUT OF GEAR AND I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR A YEAR, IF I WANTED PROBLEMS WITH A CAR I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. *TR
