Consumer Description

ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER BACK HUMP BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK DUE TO WATER POURING INTO THE TRUNK. (THRU THE TRUNK LATCH; SMELLS LIKE A CAT USED AS A LITTER BOX)! NO LIGHT GOES ON TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT NO LONGER WORKS. CARPET IN TRUNK IS RUINED FROM THE WATER. LEAVES KEEP SHOWING UP INTO A CLOSED TRUNK? HOW ARE THEY GETTING IN? CAN NOT USE THE TRUNK FOR ANYTHING! CALLED DODGE AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEN; THEY TOLD ME I WAS THE ONLY REPORT AT THIS TIME. ON THE ROAD MY HUSBAND AND I NOTICED THAT ALMOST ALL 2008 DODGE AVENGERS ON THE ROAD MUST HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. CHECK YOUR MIDDLE BACK BRAKE LIGHT; IT'S BURNT OUT TRUST ME WE SAW MANY ON THE ROAD. THEN CHECK FOR WATER IN THE TRUNK IT WILL BE THERE. CALL DODGE PLEASE' *TR
