2008 DODGE AVENGER Unknown Or Other Problems

Breaking system failed, it is available for inspection, I told the state trooper what happened along with several police officers, they agreed that the breaking system was not supposed to lock up which caused the car to skid several feet and the end results are that a very bad wreck happened which left my car undrivable and locked up, the car front disk breaks , front wheel drive,there not suppose to lock up. The air bag did go off, there was no warning sign to let you know you were going to crash, the car picked up speed even while the breaks were fully pushed to the floor when the car did not slow down this caused a wreck and totaled the front of my car resulting in the frame being severely damaged , hood push in, windshield busted, driver hit with air bag, car had to be pulled whiteout being able to be put in neutral which caused more damage to car. There was no warning until the breaks locked up and plowing into another automobile. Two other vehicles involved, could only see one , both were not moving, saw no break lights, no turn signal, this Caused the driver to be injured, driver had cruse control set to speed limit 55, trooper suggested was speeding they were not and they are white not Chinese.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER SHOWS AS AN ERROR MESSAGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WILL NEED LIKELY REPLACEMENT. THE HEATER DOES NOT WORK ON THE CAR, LIKELY DUE TO THE HEATER CORE. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR AND IT HAD A RECENTLY REPLACED O2 SENSOR THAT WAS UNPLUGGED AS ITS INITIAL REASON FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THERE MAY BE OTHER CARS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS, AND I WANTED TO REPORT IT BECAUSE THESE ARE COSTLY REPAIRS.

SOMETIMES WHEN ITS RAINING OR SNOWING WHEN MY CAR IS ON AT LEAST ONCE DURING MY TRIP MY CAR WILL TURN OFF EITHER WHEN I'M AT A STOP LIGHT/SIGN OR WHEN I BRAKE TO MAKE A TURN. I CAN SOMETIMES TELL WHEN ITS GOING TO TURN OFF BECAUSE THE CAR SPUTTERS (I DONT KNOW HOW ELSE TO DESCRIBE IT). EX YESTERDAY ON MY WAY TO WORK IT TURNED OFF AS I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT SO I TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON MORE MORE ISSUES ON MY 10 MILE TRIP. ON MY WAY BACK HOME (CAR SAT IN THE RAIN ALL DAY) MY CAR TURNED OFF AS I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT OF MY JOB. WHEN I SAY MY CAR TURNED OFF I MEAN IT LOSES ALL POWER SO THAT WHEN I PRESS MY GAS CAR DOESNT GO ANYWHERE I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON TO CONTINUE MY TRIP

BRAKES : I NEED TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS EVERY 3 MONTHS. (I RUN OVER 1600 MILES MONTHLY) A/C : THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS FREEZING COLD AIR AND THE DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS HOT. SUSPENSION : THE REAR KNUCKLE BUSHINGS FAILS TOO MUCH.

Mileage: 92,000

THE SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK. FROM MY READING ON THE INTERNET, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE, AND DESCRIBE IT AS SOMETHING HAS BROKEN FROM THE 'PINK THING', THAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. YOU CAN PRESS ON THE PINK THING, AND IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO DISENGAGE THE CAR FROM PARK, AND ALLOW YOU TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, SO THAT'S WHAT I DID... BUT IT DOESN'T SOLVE THE ISSUE, JUST LETS YOU SURPASS IT.

I PURCHASED A 2008 DODGE AVENGER SE 2.4L A FEW MONTHS AGO. CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENED ON VITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY. SO FAR IT STARTS BACK UP BUT THEN WILL DO IT AGAIN UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAVE NEARLY WRECKED DUE TO THIS. I HAVE ALSO MISSED WORK 3 DAYS SO FAR THIS WEEK. I CALLED MANY DEALERSHIPS AND TAKEN TO SHOP WITH NO SOLUTION. I HAVE MINOR PASSENGERS IN THIS CAR WHEN IT IS OCCURING. THE RECALL FOR THIS OSSUE WAS FOR AVENGERS 2007-2008 BEGINNING APRIL 15, 2007...MY CAR STATES IT WAS MANUFACTURED LESS THAN A MONTH LATER WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE.

AFTER HEAVY RAINING WATER GETS IN THE TRUNK WEIGHING IT DOWN MAKING THE HORN AND ALARM GO OFF AFTER I OPEN AND CLOSE THE TRUNK SEVERAL TIMES AND GETTING LOTS OF WATER INTO MY TRUNK ITSELF THEM I'M USUALLY ABLE TO SET THE ALARM AND IT NOT GO OFF ON ITS OWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT OR EARLY IN THE MORNING AS THIS HAPPENS U THINK SOMEONE IS TRYING TO BREAK INTO YOUR VEHICLE IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH AND A HALF PRETTY ANNOYED WATER SHOULDN'T GET INTO THE TRUNK THAT EASY THERE AREN'T ANY HOLES SHOWING WE'RE IT CAN GET INTO SO MUST RUN DOWN THE SEAMS OF THE BACK OF THE CAR SOMEHOW AND ENTERING.ALSO HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED THEY PUT IT ON A LIFT AND HAD A SPECIAL TOOL THEY USED AND HAD TO LET IT RUN AND GET UP TO A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE TO BE ABLE TO TELL ME IF MY FLUID WAS LOW OR NOT AND IT WASN'T BECAUSE THEY SAID IT GOT TO THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE BUT FROM TIME TO TIME WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL JUST JERK AS IF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS LOW OR THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT BUT IT ONLY HAPPENS LIKE MAYBE ONE OR TWICE OVER A 3 WEEK PERIOD SO NOT SURE WHAT IS UP WITH THAT

I JUST BOUGHT MY 2008 AVENGER. EVERYTHING WORKED AS NORMAL UNTIL I WENT TO WARM UP MY CAR TODAY AND LATER REALIZED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE IS ONLY BLOWING COLD AIR. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS ARE HAVING THE EXACT ISSUE. THE ACTUATORS ARE FUNCTIONING. THE BLEND DOOR IS FINE. THE HEATER CORE ITSELF IS FINE DUE TO HOT AIR COMING FROM DRIVER SIDE ONLY. THIS CAN CAUSE A MORE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND MALFUNCTIONS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO POOR HEATING ABILITIES THUS LACK OF DEFROST DURING WINTER MONTHS. I HAVE A SMALL FRAME I'M ABLE TO LOOK OUT AFTER WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN DEFROSTING FOR OVER 20 MINUTES. THAT'S THE WORST PART. THE OTHER ISSUE IS MY CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING ALSO TODAY WHILE GOING 75 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE ONCE IT DISENGAGED, IT SLOWED DOWN TREMENDOUSLY. HAD I NOT BEEN QUICK AT ACCELERATING AGAIN, I WOULD BE PUTTING MY CAR IN THE SHOP FOR REAR END DAMAGE. WHETHER THEY ARE CONNECTED OR NOT, I DONT KNOW, BUT IT IS VERY STRANGE BOTH ISSUE AROUSE TODAY.

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON , I ASKED THE SALES PERSON WHY AND HE SAID HE HASN'T BEEN DROVE IN A WHILE . HE TOOK IT FOR A RIDE AND WHEN HE CAME BACK THE LIGHT WAS OFF . A WEEK LATER IT CAME BACK ON AND I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE THEY SAID IT WAS THE IGNITION COIL . I FIXED THAT AND IT STILL COMES UP RANDOMLY. NOW MY CAR STILL SOUNDS HORRIBLE WHEN I START IT AND I HAVE TO REPLACE THE STARTER AND I'VE BARLEY HAD THE CAR SINCE MARCH . ALSO MY CAR TURNS OFF RANDOMLY NOW WHILE I'M IN A REVERSE MOTION. HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. ALSO THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS ON AND WON'T GO AWAY . I REPLACED TIRES AND THEY SAY IT'S A SENSOR. A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND THE SALES PERSON NEVER TOLD ME THERE WAS ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STALLS THE ELECTRICAL DOES NOT SHUT OFF BUT I LOOS THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE BUT THE CAR STARTS BACK UP IMMEDIATELY THIS HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, ON THE FREEWAY AND WHILE TURNING.

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 10TH 2018 APPROXIMATELY 10:30 A.M. I WAS ON MY WAY TO SMOOTHIE KIND IN COOPER CITY LOCATED INSIDE OF A PLAZA. AS I TURNED INTO THE PARKING SPOT WITH MY FOOT ALREADY ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN INTO SAID PARKING SPOT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I PUMPED THE BRAKES ONCE NOTHING STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND IT WENT OVER THE MEDIUM BETWEEN PARKING SPOTS AND HIT A UNOCCUPIED VEHICLE ON THE LEFT FRONT. THEN STOPPED JUST BEFORE HITTING A TREE. I'AM NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED BUT THEIR SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION BECAUSE MY MILEAGE HAS DISAPPEARED SINCE.

MY 2008 DODGE AVENGER WITH 13800 MILES STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND THE TIRE PRESSURE MONTORING SYSTEM LIGHT STAYS ON

THE HEADLIGHTS AND HORN LIGHT AND SOUND INTERMITTENTLY ALSO INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO FLASH ON AND OFF. HAVING INTERMITTEN PROBLEMS WITH THE WIPERS.ALSO THE BATTERY KEEPS GOIMG DEAD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT NIGHT AS THE CAR IS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A MONTH NOW.

INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN THE SWITCH IS ON THEY WILL TURN OFF AND ON BY THEMSELVES. FAST TO SLOW AND SLOW TO FAST. CAUSES VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS IN ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS MOVING, OBVIOUSLY IN RAINY CONDITIONS. MOST RECENT ACCURATE 2-13-18 HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.. ALSO MY AIR AND COOLING FAN HAS BEEN RUNNING INTERMEDIATE ON HIGH AND NOW IS NOT WORKING AT ALL. NOT TO MENTION ISSUES WITH WIRING HARNESS.

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL IS SHOWING AS "STUCK OPEN" CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE LIT UP AND THE CAR CANNOT BE INSPECTED. I HAVE REPLACED THIS PART 3 TIMES IN 3 YEARS. THE PART IS EITHER DEFECTIVE FROM EVERY SOURCE, THE CAR IS CAUSING THE ISSUE, OR THE COMPUTER ISN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS HAS COST ME THOUSANDS AND LEFT ME WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR. THIS IS A PART THAT SHOULD LAST A DECADE IF YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR AUTOMOBILE.

Mileage: 102,000

CAR HAS BEEN RANDOMLY STALLING FOR NO REASON. AFTER SITTING A FEW MINUTES THE CAR WILL RESTART AND DRIVE OK UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THE HORN RANDOMLY WORKS AND SOMETIMES GOES OFF BY ITSELF. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM CAUSING THE HORN ISSUE BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY IT IS STALLING. POSSIBLY COULD BE THE TIPM AS WELL.

2008 DODGE AVENGER STALLS OUT WHEN WET OR COLD OUT. HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES AND MY HUSBAND HAS ALMOST BEEN HIT. MECHANICS CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

WE WANT TO GET THIS FIXED FOR HER AND WHY IS THERE NO RECALL???? THESE COMPLAINTS ARE ON SO MANY FORUMS HELP PLEASE??!

Mileage: 130,000

THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS THE HORN RANDOMLY HONKING WHICH PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE TO THE POINT IT WAS BLARING AND WOULD NOT STOP WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. WE HAD THE HORN HARD WIRED BYPASSING THE T.I.P.M. RANDOMLY THE THROTTLE IS UNRESPONSIVE AND THEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT RESTART FOR A WHILE. WE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WON'T CLOSE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER AVENGERS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT NOT FOR MY CAR ITSELF. HAD TO DRIVE TWO HOURS BACK HOME WITH THE DOOR TIED SHUT. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE CHECKED INTO FOR OTHER AVENGERS, MAYBE EXPAND THE RECALL? CAR WAS PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

WHILE DRIVING A LIGHTNING BOLT IN PARENTHESES SYMBOL POPPED UP ON THE DASH. CAR BEGAN IDLING AND WOULD NOT EXCEED 10 MILES PER HOUR. THEN THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND LIGHTS BEGAN TO DIM. SO I PARKED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. THE CAR WOULD NOT START BACK UP. I GOT IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BATTERY. SO I GOT IT REPLACED, THAT SAME DAY ABOUT 6 HOURS LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. I RESEARCHED THE SYMBOL AND A LOT OF RELATED STORIES WERE DISCUSSED. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOME NEED FOR A RECALL BECAUSE OTHERS WEREN'T AS FORTUNATE AS US. PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE LIVES ARE AT STAKE. THANK YOU

THE CAR HAD THE SAMW ISSUE A YEAR LATER I JUST GOTBIT FIXED. IT HAS NOW DID THE SAME THING , I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. THE FLASHING LIGHTNING BOLT ON MY DASH CONTINUES TO FLASH. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND WHEN I CONTACTED THEM THEY DID NOTHING. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVERS WINDOW NOT GOING BACK UP. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS AS WELL. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECOUSR WHILE I WAS DRIVING GOING PAST AN INTERSECTION THE CAR SLOWD COMPLETED DOWN AND THEN THE RED LIGHTS OF A LIGHTNING BOLT FLASHED.

I WAS ON HIGHWAY I-80 AND THE HORN STARTED GOING OFF ON ITS OWN. ENGINE STARTED TO LOSE POWER BUT THANKFULLY IT KEPT GOING AND I MADE IT HOME. WENT TO AUTO SHOP AND THEY DISCONNECTED BOTH HORNS.

A WEEK LATER THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. STOPPED AT RED LIGHT ON VERY BUSY STREET AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO MECHANIC. IT STARTED. MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. TESTED THE BATTERY AND IT WAS GOOD. DROVE CAR HOME. 4 DAYS LATER CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WAITED 15 MINUTES AND ENGINE STARTED. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE! I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL STOP. THIS VEHICLE IS HAZARDOUS AND COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT!!!

I BROUGHT A 2008 DODGE AVENGER IN MARCH 2016 AND SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT DID IT SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING TRYING TO START IT AND WHILE IN REVERSE. I NOTICE THAT WHEN IM DRIVING AND I SLOW DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP IT WOULD KINDA SHAKE AND I NOTICE THAT THE RPM SIDE DROPPED BELOW 0 AND THE CAR STALLED. IF I CAN FEEL IT IN TIME I WOULD TAKE MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE AND LET IT GO UP TO 1 AND HIT THE BRAKE AGAIN AND SOMETIMES THAT WOULD HELP. I HAVE BEEN TO MECHANIC SHOPS AND BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WASNT ON IT WAS NOT READING ANYTHING AND IVE CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED WHICH IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE I HAVE A NEW BORN AND IT STALL ON ME IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY WHILE AN 18 WHEELER WAS BEHIND ME SO YOU CAN IMAGINE MY NERVES.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR. SOMETHING IS WRONG AND I CAN'T KEEP PAYING PEOPLE TO DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION. THIS IS SCARY, THANKS IN ADVANCE

HORN STARTED BLARING, LIGHTS WHERE GOING ON AND OFF WHILE SITTING IN PARKING LOT, DRIVEWAY AND WHEN DRIVING. CAR STARTED STALLING WHEN THIS PROBLEM STARTED. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM. SAW WHERE IN 2008 DODGE/CHRYSLER HAD ISSUE WITH THE TIPM BUT THE 2008 AVENGER WAS LEFT OFF. HAVE SEEN ON DODGE TALK AND MULTIPLE OTHER WEB SITES THAT THE 2008 DODGE AVENGER HAS HAD THIS ISSUE AND DODGE/CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF IT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLES. CAR CURRENTLY AT VENICE DODGE CHYRSLER DEALERSHIP. 941-493-7986.

VEHICLE STALLS AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR IN STOPPED TRAFFIC IN WET WEATHER. MOSTLY WET WEATHER, BUT HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST TREE TIMES IN DRY WEATHER. LOCAL GOOD YEAR RAN A "WET TEST" ON IT, COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE STALL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I PUT IT IN PARK, TURN OFF THE IGNITION, PUT ON MY HAZARDS, AND IT STARTS BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM. MECHANIC CANNOT FIND THE SOURCE. THIS IS SCARY AT THE LEAST AND MAKES ME NERVOUS EVEN THINKING ABOUT HAVING TO DRIVE WHEN IT IS WET OUTSIDE. I READ A MENTION OF A WIPER MOTOR.. THAT IT MAY EITHER BE POORLY GROUNDED OR IS FAILING AND DRAWING EXCESSIVE CURRENT., HE RELATES THE STALLING IN WET WEATHER TO THIS AS THE WIPERS WOULD EITHER BE ON OR IN THE DELAY SETTING. ANY OTHER CIRCUITS SHARING THE SAME GROUND CIRCUIT WILL GET A REVERSE POLARITY VOLTAGE BURST EVERY TIME THE WIPERS SWEEP, IT SEEMS THAT WHEN IT IS ON DELAY THE SUDDEN HIGH RESISTANCE OF THE GROUND PATH KNOCKS OFF VOLTAGE SENSITIVE MODULES AND THINGS STOP WORKING FOR A MOMENT, IF YOU ARE OFF THE GAS, THE ENGINE JUST MAY STALL OUT. HE SUGGESTS CHECKING THE GROUNDS, CLEAN AND TIGHTEN THEM. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS COULD BE THE SITUATION OR NOT. I CAN GIVE THIS INFORMATION TO MY MECHANIC, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO GO IN WITH A GUESSING A GAME AND HIT OR MISS, THAT COULD GET EXPENSIVE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS NOW, APPROX.. 95K MILES.
