NHTSA complaint: 2008 DODGE AVENGER — ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
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. *TR
