2008 DODGE AVENGER Equipment Problems

I GOT A RECALL ON MY DODGE AVENGER, DUE TO A PLATE ON THE SHIFTER, I TOOK IT TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE PART, AND LESS THEN 2 MO. MY CAR LOCKED IN PARK AND UNABLE TO GET TO GO INTO GEAR, HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO DEALER AGAIN AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER, THEY CHARGE ME $100. AND SAID IT WAS DEDUCTIBLE , I FEEL IT WAS NOT MY PLACE TO HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A PART THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED, AND THEY MESSED UP. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD SEVERAL SHIFTER TO HAVE TO REPLACED SINCE THEY CHANGED OUT THE RECALLED PART. *KB

2008 DODGE AVENGER WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. DROVE CAR IN MORNING TO WORK AND 8 HOURS LATER AFTER STARTING AND THEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SHIFT THE SHIFT LEVER WOULD NOT MOVER FROM PARK. BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND IT HAS ONLY 29,000 MILES AFTER 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. *TR

I WENT TO GO GET IN MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AFTER RETURNING HOME 3 HOURS EARLIER AND MY PARK WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. MY WIFE AND I TOOK APART THE CONSOLE TO FIND OUT IF ANYTHING WAS JAMMED IN IT SUCH AS LOSE CHANGE BUT THERE WASN'T. SHE DECIDED TO GO ONLINE TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. I HAVE 88,000 MILES ON MY 2008 DODGE AVENGER BUT I TAKE GREAT CARE WITH MAINTENANCE. OF COURSE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL BUT I HOPE THEY DO. THE PINK BUTTON EVERYONE IS REFERRING TO WE HAVE NOT TRIED YET... *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON I NOTICED THE LEFT 2 VENTS WERE COMING OUT WARM AIR. A COUPLE DAYS LATER THERE WAS A MIST COMING THROUGH THE ONLY 2 VENTS THAT WORK. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD MY HEATERCORE/HEATER HOUSING WAS BROKE. THAT WOULD COST $900.00 TO FIX. ALSO I HAVE HAD MY CAR STALL 6 TIMES, MOSTLY WHEN IT IS RAINING AND I AM COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. I TOOK IT IN FOR THAT BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. I ALSO HAD THE CLOCK RUN 2 MIN FAST EVERY DAY OR TWO. THAT HAD TO BE UPDATED WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SINCE TO ME SINCE IT IS A 2008 CAR. IT SHOULD NOT NEED AN UPDATE ON THE CLOCK. THAT WAS $50.00. THE CAR HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

THE LATCH THAT LETS YOU TAKE THE CAR OUT OF PARK IS MALFUNCTIONING THAT ONLY ALLOWS YOU TO TAKE THE CAR OUT OF PARK BY PUSHING A PINK LATCH BUTTON UNDER THE SHIFTER. *TR

2008 DODGE AVENGER STUCK IN PARK. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 DODGE AVENGER THAT BRAKES ARE BAD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DODGE SEVERAL TIMES FOR SERVICE AND THE BRAKES ONLY LAST 2 MONTHS BEFORE THEY GO OUT AGAIN. FORTUNATE FOR ME I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS YET WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM GOING OUT. DODGE HAS REPLACED THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM AND STILL I HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT THEIR IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THE SERVICE MANAGER, GM OF THE WALDORF DODGE AND CHRYSLER BUT NO ONE HAS RESOLVED THIS PROBLEM OR EVEN HAS GOTTEN BACK TO ME ON THIS ISSUE. I HAVE SEVERAL RECEIPTS FOR PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED ON THE CAR AND CAN PROVIDE THEM UPON REQUEST THE RECEIPTS HAVE THE PART NUMBERS ON THEM. *TR

IM WAS LOOKING AT THE CRASH RATINGS BECAUSE I JUST PURCHASE A 2008 AVENGER, IF THE DOORS CAN OPEN WITH SIDE IMPACT, CAN YOU RECALL THE CARS TO FIX THIS ISSUE, BEFORE SOME ONE LOSES A LIFE OR WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
