1 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 01/28/2015

More then (30) times intermittently electrical issues occur causing flashing (numbers/deck/fuse/blank) odometer, power for radio/time goes out, security system does not shut off or will not unlock the car, the car stalls while driving, the windows wont work, and starting the car can take several cranks. More importantly as a major safety issue, me and my daughter were stuck inside my car for an hour and a half because the electrical issue would not allow any of the doors to unlock. The 2008-2010 Dodge Avenger is known for electrical issues and electrical fires. Dodge is not covering these electrical issues under warranty. I did everything possible to unlock the doors such as the door panel button, turning on and off the car, switching gears, driving through the parking lot to trigger the auto speed lock, giving the key to someone through a small gap in the window to have them use the key manually, pressed the unlock on the key remote, none of this worked to unlock the car. I was even on the phone with the Dodge dealership while this occurred and they could not tell me how to get out. We just had to wait out the electrical "fit" the car has. This issue has been impossible to diagnose because it is intermittent, however the car will be at the dealership this coming Tuesday at my expense. It is a huge risk to drive this car due to the possibility of an electrical fire. I don't want my daughter, (still in a car seat) myself, or my husband to burn to death stuck in this car due to the lack of responsibility from Dodge or manufacturer because its hard to diagnose. This should be recalled as there are thousands of complaints online specifically electrical with this car.

2 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2013

When raining, the vehilce tends to want to "slip out" of gear. It could be at a stoplight or even while I am driving; it feels like when driving a manual car and you're about to stall it, that is how the transmisison/gears feel. I have been driving down the road going approx. 30 mph, it was raining; the rpm's will stay where they are at, but the mph will fluctuate almost as if it is about to stall. However, I have an automatic car. I have been told by several people to take the car in, and have called cutter Dodge (pearl city, hi) about my warrantee, but they don't seem to care too much about my car. Not sure if others are having this issue, but my car is still a "puppy", only has 35,000!! this incident has happened any time it rains, not just on the date given.
