NHTSA Complaint #10340303 — 2008 DODGE AVENGER

WE WERE ON OUR FIRST DAY OF VACATION. WE ORDERED SOME TAKE OUT AND WERE GOING TO PICK IT UP. WE PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT TO GRAB OUR DEBIT CARD OUT OF OUR CONSOLE. WE PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN TRIED TO CONTINUE ON OUR WAY WHEN IT WOULDN'T COME OUT OF PARK. THE CAR NO WARNINGS THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO CALL OUR SISTER AND BROTH IN LAW TO HELP US. OUR TWO YEAR OLD WAS IN THE BACK SEAT. WE HAD TO TAKE HER OUT AND PUT THE CAR SEAT IN OUR SISTERS CAR. THEN WE HAD TO CALL AND CANCEL OUR TAKE OUT. WE EVENTUALLY PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE MANUALLY TEARING APART THE CONSOLE AND DRIVING IT TO DODGE. THIS WAS THE WORST START OF ANT VACATION WE HAVE EVER BEEN ON. WITH ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE GEAR SHIFT LOCKING UP AND THERE IS NO RECALL YET. SERIOUSLY, THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE. NOW I JUST BLEW 300$ OF OUR VACATION MONEY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR
