4 Engine problem of the 1997 Dodge Avenger

Failure Date: 01/07/2002

This should be a recall. I have low miles on my car & their should be no reason why my head gasket needs to be replaced. I have my car serviced for oil changes on a regular basis. I read people's complaints & the amount of people that had to replace their head gasket is riduculous. This should definantely be a re call. I contacted cyrsler but it seems they cannot be bothered. I also found that the Dodge neons have the same problem. I don't understand why crysler does not look into this further. Their are numerous complaints.

6 Engine problem of the 1996 Dodge Avenger

Knocking under hood. Dealer has inspected the vehicle and have not been able to correct or determine the cause.

7 Engine problem of the 1996 Dodge Avenger

I have contacted local Dodge Avenger dealers and mechanics and found the head gasket problem to be a defect in the manufaturing of the Avenger. This issue needs to be addressed. Recently I received a recall on the front suspension ball joint boots on my car. These are expensive items a single mother can not afford to pay. I hope that you will investigate this situation in it's entirety and contact me upon receipt of your investigation. Thank you.
