6 Gasoline Fuel System problem of the 2008 Dodge Avenger

Failure Date: 07/29/2011

I have a 2008 Dodge Avenger that burst into flames all of a sudden when I was headed home from work during rush hour on a city street doing between 25-30 miles an hour. There was no warning when a man started shouting for me to get out of the car. In another half an hour my kids would have been in the car. This is the third time I've heard of this happening with this Chrysler made car, yet the insurance is giving me the run-a-round. I'm sure with instructions from Chrysler. I need them to pay up, I need to be able to get to work and take my children to day care. I could have been killed cause there is obviously a defect in the engine or fuel system.

7 Gasoline Fuel System problem of the 2008 Dodge Avenger

8 Gasoline Fuel System problem of the 2008 Dodge Avenger

Failure Date: 11/01/2010

My 2008 Dodge Avenger r/t at 52,000 miles developed a serious splash back when pumping gas. It doesn't matter if the flow is very fast or very slow. It was so bad the first two times when it happened that gasoline splashed all over the left rear very hot wheel and rotor of my car as I had just gotten off the highway. I am afraid that this will become a more serious problem and possibly a fire if not corrected. Have heard that it is a common problem with some 2008-2009 model Avengers and as I have to get it to the dealer and soon, should be checked for perhaps a vendor issue. Thank you kindly.

9 Gasoline Fuel System problem of the 2008 Dodge Avenger

Failure Date: 11/01/2010

My 2008 Avenger stalls when accelerating. It seems to happen when it is wet and cold out. It happens mostly when you are at a complete stop and push the gas or when you are slowing down and the accelerate. I have almost been in several accidents due to this happening. I have taken it to the Dodge dealership and they said they can't find anything wrong. There is definately something wrong.
