Vehicle stalling since date of purchase February 2009. Brought into dealership with complaint and they replaced the fuel pump. Problem continued with the addition of a gas smell after initial start of vehicle. Have brought the car in for service to dealership and they could not find the problem. Brought the vehicle in for other complaints and I again told the service dept that the car continued to have the same issue with the stalling and gas odor. The service dept tool my car for a test drive while I was still there and since they could not replicate the problem my vehicle was not serviced for the issue nor was it fixed. I called to have the vehicle looked at once again in February 2011 and was told I would be called by the new person in charge of my car and I did not receive a call. I did speak with someone giving them the details of the fas smell and the stall issue. After 2 weeks of no return call I called the service dept and was told my warranty had just expired and would not be covered. When I spoke to the service dept in February I asked about serveral recalls that had to do with the electrical wiring of the same model and year as my vehicle and was told it did not include my VIN # but there are numerous complaints of electrical issue of these vehicle and the service dept cannot seem to find the electrical problems until the car completely breaks down. On may 5, 2011 my car stalled again and the dealership says it is an electrical problem with the car. My car would stall several times a week while sitting at a light and the gas smell would occur everytime I start the car. The dealership does not know how to fix/find the problem until the car no longer runs. The electrical issue burned out the battery and could have caused a serious accident.

We own a 2008 Dodge Avenger. We received a recall letter (h07)concerning an electrical wiring problem that could cause the car to cut off without notice. We called the local dealership when we received the letter but they didn't have any information about it and said they would notify us when they received information. We never got a call from them. We experienced the car cutting off on several occasions but never when it was a dangerous situation. On Saturday, may 3rd, 2008 at 7pm in the evening my son was driving the car and was braking to stop at an intersection and the car cut off causing him to lose all power steering and power brakes. He attempted to swerve to avoid hitting the car in front of him but was unable to totally miss the car. He hit the car in front of him because the car was too hard to steer and brake due to loss of power. After the accident we contacted Dodge and our local dealership only to be told that our car is not involved in the recall. Some 2008 Avengers are involved but according to our VIN they tell us our car is not involved. This could have been a very serious accident. I don't know why our car is not involved in the recall because we have experienced the problems that the recall notated. We would like the recall to be reevaluated and our car and possibly other 2008 Avengers be included in the recall. Once the body work is fixed on the car, we will take it to our local dealership and have them check out the problem. We are afraid to drive the car until we know the problem has been fixed because next time the accident could result in injury or death.

A/c is blowing out hot air, I was told by the dealership that I needed to get a replacement computer component. I told them at the time that my car has only 70000+ plus miles and that should not be replaced plus I had older cars and people with older cars never once had to get the ac fix and they have over 150000 to 200000 miles on their car. Mean while back several years ago, my car caught on fire do to hay falling in the road, therefore all wiring/equipment under the hood got replaced. Currently my driver side seat belt does not stay fasten all the time.
