I BOUGHT A 2008 DODGE AVENGER IN JULY OF 2009. FROM THE TIME THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR LATCH WOULD MALFUNCTION CAUSING THE DOOR TO COME OPEN AND/OR NOT SHUT AT ALL. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. DODGE CORRECTED IT THE FIRST TIME BUT REFUSED THE SECOND TIME. MY LEFT SPEED SENSOR WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED; THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND STAY ON AND DODGE TOLD ME THE DEFECT DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER; MY CAR GOUT STUCK IN PARK AND DODGE WOULD NOT HELP ME WITH THAT EITHER. ON JUNE 30, 2010 WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 41 IN PORT CHARLOTTE FLORIDA MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT BURST INTO FLAMES. THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR AS TO THIS DEFECT ALSO BUT, ONCE AGAIN, I WAS TOLD BY DODGE THAT IT DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER. I HAVE BEEN RAN IN CIRCLES FOR ONE WEEK WITH NO ANSWERS OR ASSISTANCE FROM DODGE. I HAVE ONLY ASKED THAT THEY PROVIDE ME WITH TRANSPORTATION UNTIL THE CAUSE OF MY ENGINE FIRE CAN BE DETERMINED AND YET AGAIN, NO RESPONSE FROM DODGE. I FELT IN FEAR OF THIS VEHICLE AND CALLED DODGE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ASKING THAT THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR
