ON JANUARY 3, 2015, COMPLAINANT WAS DRIVING A FRIEND TO WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 9 A.M. WHEN COMPLAINANT LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF HIS 2012 DODGE AVENGER DUE TO ICE COVERING THE ENTIRETY OF THE STREETS CAUSING COMPLAINANT TO SLIDE TWO (2) BLOCKS TOWARDS AN OVERHANGING CLIFF WHERE PLAINTIFF HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A HUGE TREE TOTALING HIS 2012 DODGE AVENGER. AT THE INSTANT OF COLLISION, THERE WAS A STRANGE AND PUNGENT ODOR THAT PERMEATED THE INTERIOR OF THE AUTOMOBILE WHEN BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS CAME OUT BUT FAILED TO INFLATE AND TO OFFER ANY SUPPORT. THE AIRBAGS ONLY STAYED LAYING FLAT ON THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD. AT THE INSTANT OF COLLISION, COMPLAINANT STRUCK HIS FOREHEAD AGAINST THE STEERING COLUMN CAUSING COMPLAINT SEVERE NECK TRAUMA, SEVERE SPINAL TRAUMA, SEVERE BACK TRAUMA AND SEVERE HIP TRAUMA...

WITHOUT CAUSE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE, I FIND THAT MY CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THE TIPM, WHICH WAS NOT DONE. I THEN HAD THE TIPM RESET, HOWEVER IT DID NOT TURN THE LIGHT OUT. THEN I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE THAT CAME UP WITH A CODE OF B2208, WHICH OF COURSE WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER. THIS MODULE SHOULD BE REPLACED BY CHRYSLER FOR THE 2012 AVENGER AS WELL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THIS VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING AND ANTI LOCK BRAKES STOPPED WORKING AND THE VEHICLES RPMS WERE AS HIGH AS COULD BE MEASURED BY THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUES MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROADWAY SAFELY. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE PRIMARY ISSUE. THE CONCERN WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THAT IT HAS THE SAME SIZE ENGINE AND AMP ALTERNATOR AS THE CHRYSLER VEHICLES THAT ARE ALREADY UNDER RECALL FOR ALTERNATOR FAILURE 3.6L ENGINE WITH A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR AND THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRING THIS VEHICLE STATES IT IS THE SAME TYPE OF FAILURE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS VEHICLES ALTERNATOR SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED AS IT POSES A DANGER TO THE PEOPLE DRIVING IT AND ANY OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD NEAR THIS VEHICLE WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURS. *TR

THE THROTTLE BODY ON MY CAR HAS TO BE REPLACED. MY SON HAS HAD NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF THE CAR RUNNING ROUGH, SEEMINGLY NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS, AND THE FINAL STRAW BEFORE TAKING TO THE SHOP WAS WHEN IT THE ENGINE DIED AS HE WAS DRIVING. THIS CAR IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD WITH APPROXIMATELY 62,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS NOT AT ALL ACCEPTABLE FOR THIS PART TO GO BAD GIVEN THE AGE / MILES OF THE CAR. AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL SHOP OWNERS AND TECHNICIANS, I'VE FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON FAILURE ON LATE MODEL DODGE VEHICLES. IN ADDITION THE THROTTLE FAILURE, HE HAS NO HEAT COMING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. ONLY COLD AIR AS IF SOMETHING IS STUCK OPEN.
