NHTSA Complaint #10535235 — 2013 DODGE AVENGER

BOUGHT A 2013 DODGE AVENGER IN JAN 2013 WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I START HAVING "TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS".. WHEN I WOULD TAKE OFF FROM MY WORK PARKING LOT AT LUNCH MY CAR WOULD SHUTTER.. A FEW TIMES AT LUNCH IT WOULD NOT START! I CALLED DEALERSHIP ABOUT HOW STRANGE MY CAR FEELS . SEEMED LIKE IT WAS SLOW AT CHANGING GEARS AND WOULD SHIFT HARD. DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND ANY THROWN CODES AND DOESN'T FEEL ANYTHING! SO I LEAVE FRUSTRATED THAT THEY CAN NOT FEEL WHAT I AM FEELING SO I TAKE IT TO MY HOME TOWN DEALERSHIP TELL THEM ABOUT WHAT I FEEL EVERYTIME I TAKE OFF FROM A PARKING LOT. ( FEB 7TH 2013) WHAT THEY BELIEVE IS THAT MY CAR IS "TRYING RO LEARN HOW I DRIVE" THAT THEY UPDATED MY COMPUTER. THEY SENT ME ABOUT MY WAY A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN I TRY TO LEAVE WORK I HAVE TO TRY 4 TIMES WHEN STARTING MY CAR BEFORE IT FIRES OFF! I THEN GO STRAIGHT TO OUR LOCAL AUTOZONE THEY PUT A TESTER ONMY BATTERY IT SHOWS UP WEAK. THEN THEY TEST MY ALTERNATOR IT SHOWS UP BAD. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN TWO MANUFACTURE ADVISORS AND HAVESINCE BEEN TO RED RIVER FOR DIAGNOSIS YET TO GET ACCOMPLISHED! IT IS NOW AUG 2013 THIS PAST SUNDAY I PICKED UP MY 6 YR OLD FATHER AS I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT MY CAR SHIFT HARD THEN DID RIGHT BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC!!! WHICH IS NOT THE FIRST SCARY CAR TRAFFIC INCIDENT WE'VE HAD IN THIS CAR! WE WERE OUT FOR THE WEEKEND HERE IN AR. WE WERE ON LANDERS ROAD WHICH IS A COMPLETE CIRCLE ALMOST THAT EXITS INTO HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC WHERE MY CAR THEN PROCEEDS TO SHUTTER AS I TAKE OFF FROM THE EXIT WHICH WAS EXTREMELY TERRIFIC CONSIDERING IT WAS COMING A DOWN POUR! AT THIS TIME RED RIVER DODGES SERVICE MEN SAYTHEY KNOW WHAT I AM CLAIMING TO FEEL THAT IT IS THE WAY DODGE HAS MADE THEIR TRANSMISSIONS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE PAST AND THAT THEY ARE STILL SEEING THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER NEW MODELS. SAY I'M STUCK W/IT BC THEY REP. *TR
