NHTSA Complaint #10286277 — 2008 DODGE AVENGER

MY GEARSHIFT SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I HAD NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS OR ANY INDICATIONS THAT IT WAS GOING TO BREAK AND LEAVE ME STRANDED AT MY HOUSE. I CONTACTED COFFEE CHRYSLER IN DOUGLAS GA AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. SHE INFORMED ME MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM LATELY. I TOLD HER I NOTICED THE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT IT AND SUGGESTED THAT DODGE NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL. SHE INFORMED ME, THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY CONSUMERS NOT ENGAGING THE BRAKE WHILE ENGAGING THE GEAR SHIFT. YOU HAVE TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO ENGAGE THE GEAR SHIFT. IT COST ME $226.22 TO REPAIR. I WAS LUCKY THIS HAD HAPPENED AT MY HOUSE. I WOULD HAVE BEEN BEYOND FURIOUS IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ANYWHERE ELSE. I FEEL DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND PAY FOR IT. MY CAR IS A 2008. THIS KIND OF THING SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. *TR
