The first time I was coming down hwy 17 from wilmington when the right front tie exploded and also messed up the rim. Total cost tp me 578. 00. The second time I was coming from murrell inlet, SC and the same tire blew out again. Total cost 134. 00. I had took my car in to get the second tire fixed and told the service advisor that the front end had a poping noise and to have someone drive the car to see what was going on. I picked the car up on 6/3/2014 and asked if anyone had drove it for the noise. Come to find out nobody test drove it after it sat out at addys for 7 days. The whole front rack needs to be replaced. It now been 10 days and my car is still at addys waiting on parts. Looks like to me someone should have found this problem while it was sitting at addys for 7 days. Service mgr was a real asshole and was yelling in my sister face.

From date of purchase brand new off the lot 2013 Dodge Avenger 3. 6l blacktop edition. Within a few days I started noticing the car would pull to the right. I took it back to the dealership to have the alignment looked at and fixed and they said they re aligned everything and should be fine. After a week I noticed it started to pull to the right again. At that point I took it into a different shop where they actually told me that they can't re align the car based on the fact that how the cars suspension was manufactured and design is faulty to where the alignment will never be able to be corrected and there's nothing they can do. I am military and have moved 2 times since the purchase and have takin the car to several shops and have been told the same. That the alignment is as best as it can get and will always pull to the right based on the design and how it came from the factory. I've had the car for 3 yrs now and have had to buy brand new tires every year while rotating and balancing my tires every 3 months. This is a serious defect and Dodge will not take ownership of the fault and has not provided any help in coming up with a solution to fix the suspensions alignment always being off.
While driving at a low speed I put my foot on the gas to speed up and it was as though my car was not running at all. Nothing happened. I coasted to the end of the road and at the stop sign I hit the gas only to get chugging, spitting and sputtering sounds as the car tried to go. I was able to go a approx 1/4 of a mile and pulled into a parking area, shut the car off and waited a few minutes. The car seemed fine although a few miles down the road when I went to pass a vehicle there was absolutely no power and the car smelled as though something was burning. I had just fueled the car up before the incident. A week later, I filled my car up and although I didn't stall I had the same situation with putting my foot on the gas to pass a vehicle and not getting any power. I had the pedal to the floor and it was almost like the car was bogged down in the mud. Very alarming for a new car. Also when passing a vehicle and giving it the gas not only does the front end of this car lift up it is almost as though it fishtails like on ice in the front end. Very scary and hard to control the steering while passing.
