Consumer Description

I HAVE CONTACTED LOCAL DODGE AVENGER DEALERS AND MECHANICS AND FOUND THE HEAD GASKET PROBLEM TO BE A DEFECT IN THE MANUFATURING OF THE AVENGER. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. RECENTLY I RECEIVED A RECALL ON THE FRONT SUSPENSION BALL JOINT BOOTS ON MY CAR. THESE ARE EXPENSIVE ITEMS A SINGLE MOTHER CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION IN IT'S ENTIRETY AND CONTACT ME UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR INVESTIGATION. THANK YOU.
