NHTSA Complaint #10347011 — 2008 DODGE AVENGER

I HAVE A 2008 DODGE AVENGER AND JUST THE OTHER DAY A LITTLE PIECE OF PLASTIC IN THE GEAR SHIFTER BROKE, LUCKILY IT WAS IN PARK AND NO ONE WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN IT BROKE. I SPOKE TO DODGE AND THE EXPLAINED TO ME BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THAT IT WAS NOT A DEFECTIVE PART BUT IF YOU LOOK ON THE INTERNET THE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. SO EITHER THIS PLASTIC PIECE IS DEFECTIVE OR DODGE MAKES PARTS JUST TO LAST UNTIL THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT WHERE THEY CAN GET MORE MONEY OUT OF THE CONSUMER. THE PART CAN BE REPLACED BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY THE HOLE ASSEMBLY FOR ONE LITTLE PLASTIC PIECE. *TR
