Consumer Description

MY DODGE AVENGER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT EVERYONE ELSE'S CAR HAS WITH A 3.6L VVT IN THE CAR, THE ENGINE OIL COOLER CRACKS, AND SPRAYS OIL EVERYWHERE, THE PROBLEM IS THAT IF IT ISN'T CAUGHT THE OIL GET ALL OVER THE PLACE AND CAUSES BELTS TO SMOKE BECAUSE THE OIL AND ANTIFREEZE ARE LEAKING FROM THE OIL COOLER. CONSIDERING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE MOTORS, THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, SO THE OIL COOLER CAN BE RECALLED, SO DODGE WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM!! IT IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRIP AND IT DECIDES TO CRACK WHILE YOU'RE DOING 70 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY AND ALL THE OIL AND ANTIFREEZE BLOWS OUT THE CAR. AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE PROBLEM IS UNTIL THE CAR IS STOPPED AND YOU GET IT TOWED HOME, YOU CHECK ALL THE FLUIDS AND REFILL THEM THEN YOU COME OUTSIDE THE NEXT MORNING AND YOU SEE THE BIG LEAK FROM THE OIL ALL ON THE GROUND AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM TEAR THE CAR APART BECAUSE THERE IS OIL ALL OVER THE PLACE UNDER THE HOOD.
