general problems of the 2012 Dodge Avenger - part 1

I was driving and I stopped at a stop sign. When I got ready to go, the car stalled and stopped and wouldn't start. After 30 minutes, it started but I ended up having it towed. My mechanic was able to replicate it after putting the car in the sun, running it for 10 minutes and then driving it. When the mechanic tried to look at it, he couldn't find anything to cause it to stop. I look it to the dealership. They were unable to replicate it or find the problem. It seems to happen when the car gets hot it stops without warning. Other people in the Dodge Avenger online group have experienced the same thing. The horn also keeps beeping without warning and the airbag sign is on. I think all of these items are connected. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

We received a safety recall for our 2012 Dodge Avenger that our seatbelts and airbags may not work in a crash. Of course we were very concerned as this was our only car. When we called to make an appointment to have this very dangerous safety recall fixed, they lied and told us it would take a while for the parts to become available. We got tired of waiting and went to trade this car in for a Toyota. We were shocked to hear that this safely recall was stamped with "no fix" available. Dodge will not fix this issue and we lost over $7,000 in trade in value due to this "no fix" safety recall. How can these companies get away with not fixing such a dangerous safety recalls at the expense of the consumer?.

Had recalls done on vehicle but dash light for airbags is on and stays on for last 3 years now.

Nothing has happened yet with my vehicle in regards to this recall, but am extremely concerned in regards to the safety features (air bag and seat belt pretensioner) that were determined as defective by this recall. One of the primary reasons that I purchased this vehicle was due to the good safety ratings it received, so I am very upset that this is not being fixed in a timely manner. I don't feel like I should be forced to buy a new vehicle due to this recall, but without any estimate on when the parts will be available, I do not appreciate the predicament I am in where I do not have a safely drivable vehicle and am essentially rolling the dice by driving around in a death trap any time I do use it. I am hoping that I do not have to wait until a bad thing happens before I can get my vehicle repaired properly. Any information and assistance would be appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration of this request to expedite the resolution of this issue.

According to the recall information on your site, my car has a serious safety recall which is incomplete, and states I should file a complaint.

I was informed of the recall in October of 2016 and I have just recently been told that Dodge will not have a part to fix the recall until at the earliest June 2017. This is unacceptable because we have already waited five months for a fix and my wife is pregnant and we already have a toddler.

I received a recall notice for the airbags and seat belts in my Avenger. They are saying that the restraints and protective equipment may or may not work properly in the event of an accident. I frequently carry my children and grandchildren in that vehicle. Chrysler is saying that there is no fix for this problem at this time. They are saying that the parts are not even designed - or available, and will not be until the second quarter of next year. I am in contact with Chrysler - and they have offered to pay for a rental vehicle using my credit card - and then reimburse me. However, this could go on for months and months. I do not think that they have properly notified the american public of the dangers of the failure of the safety equipment. I do not think that I should have any responsibility for providing them with my credit card to obtain a safe vehicle when I purchased the vehicle in good faith that it was safe and sound. Please help me.

I was making a right turn onto a street coming from a parking lot. Because this is a busy street there is a traffic light at this location. I had a green light to turn. Another driver traveling about 40 mph or more in a pick-up truck, ran a red light and slammed directly into my driver side door. My head and my shoulder took the brunt of the impact. My collarbone was fractured at the tip where it connects to my acromion bone, and my car was totaled. None of my airbags, not even the side impact air bags, deployed.

The vehicle was traveling straight forward down a flat three-lane road. The vehicle was going about 45-50 miles per hour. The driver fell asleep and it crossed two lanes and rolled multiple times down a 30 foot embankment. It came to a rest right side up. None of the airbags deployed despite extensive damage resulting in a total loss of the vehicle. In the six months prior to this there was intermittent electrical problems affecting interior lighting and power window functioning that couldn't be identified.

I received notice stating that there is a current safety recall for : the potential loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability in such crash events may increase the risk of injury in a crash. It was recalled in oct2016 we are in jan2017 and I have yet to hear anything and we have two of these same vehicles. We have young children riding in these vehicles and we commute for work daily. This is a great concern.

Takata recall also heater core issue. Heat only blows on drivers side when set to heat and cold air blows on passenger side. Seems to be a known issue with Chrysler but they do not want to force a recall. Transmission also slams into gear when stopping and at times before acceleration. No dip stick to verify fluid level. Dealer states nothing wrong with it. They stated they flushed heater core and still have same issue. This happens driving in winter or summer on highway, city streets.
