2008 Dodge Avenger

I PURCHASED A 2008 DODGE AVENGER SE 2.4L A FEW MONTHS AGO. CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENED ON VITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY. SO FAR IT STARTS BACK UP BUT THEN WILL DO IT AGAIN UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAVE NEARLY WRECKED DUE TO THIS. I HAVE ALSO MISSED WORK 3 DAYS SO FAR THIS WEEK. I CALLED MANY DEALERSHIPS AND TAKEN TO SHOP WITH NO SOLUTION. I HAVE MINOR PASSENGERS IN THIS CAR WHEN IT IS OCCURING. THE RECALL FOR THIS OSSUE WAS FOR AVENGERS 2007-2008 BEGINNING APRIL 15, 2007...MY CAR STATES IT WAS MANUFACTURED LESS THAN A MONTH LATER WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE.

ON 3-31-19 ME AND MY 2 DAUGHTERS WERE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY, I STARTED SMELLING BURNING AND SEEN SMOKE COMING FROM HOOD ON DRIVER SIDE OF CAR, IT APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM THE ENGINE UNDER HOOD AND PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. I TURNED CAR OFF AND I TOLD KIDS TO GET OUT AND WE WALKED DOWN EXPRESSWAY. I TOLD KIDS TO STAY THERE AND WENT TO WALK BACK TO OPEN HOOD AND CHECK IT, ON MY WAY BACK TO IT, IT HAD STARTED ON FIRE. I WENT BACK TO MY KIDS AND CALLED POLICE. WITHIN TEN MINUTES THE WHOLE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF BEFORE I CAN GET IT CHECKED FOR THE CODE AND ONE DAY AS THE CODE READER WAS BEING PLUGGED IN THE LIGHT WENT OFF SO STILL HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET A CODE FOR WHATEVER IS CAUSING IT TO COME ON AND OFF BUT DOES IT RANDOMLY AND THE EMERGENCY BREAK LIGHT COMES ON WHEN IT'S IN DRIVE AND THE EMERGENCY BREAK ISN'T ENGAGED BUT AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES IT GOES OFF I HAVE CHECKED THE BREAK FLUID EVERYTIME BUT IT'S READING FULL IT'S HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN DECEMBER OF 2018 AND AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN JANUARY AND 2 TIMES IN FEBRUARY 2019

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE AVENGER. WHEN THE HEATER WAS ACTIVATED, HOT AIR BLEW OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE VENT AND THE REST OF THE VENTS BLEW OUT COLD AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 160,000.

WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I ASKED THE DEALER AND HE SAID HE WAS JUST SITTING FOR AWHILE WHEN I DROVE AWAY IT WAS OFF THEN 2 WEEKS LATER CAME BACK ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO EUROZONE THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE HEADS NEED REPLACED THAT'S 2900.00. I LOOKED TO SEE IF THIS PART WAS RECALLED AND IF IT HAD BEEN REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE I AM UNABLE TO SEE WHERE IF AT ALL THIS HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE DODGE MAKERS??? I LOVE MY VEHICLE I JUST WANT IT TO RUN LIKE ITS SUPPOSE TO ALSO MY TIRE LIGHT IS ON AND HAVE REPLACED ALL TIRES AND STILL WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER BEING RESET. ALSO MY CAR HAS AN ANTIFREEZE SMELL LIKE THE CAR IS HOT BUT NEVER SHOWS THAT IN THE TEMP GAUGE IT'S GETTING HOT AT ALL. PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME INFO ON WHAT I CAN DO TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS???? NOW THE NEW LIGHT IS MY BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHEN I AM DRIVING THEN SHUTS ITSELF OFF.

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON , I ASKED THE SALES PERSON WHY AND HE SAID HE HASN'T BEEN DROVE IN A WHILE . HE TOOK IT FOR A RIDE AND WHEN HE CAME BACK THE LIGHT WAS OFF . A WEEK LATER IT CAME BACK ON AND I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE THEY SAID IT WAS THE IGNITION COIL . I FIXED THAT AND IT STILL COMES UP RANDOMLY. NOW MY CAR STILL SOUNDS HORRIBLE WHEN I START IT AND I HAVE TO REPLACE THE STARTER AND I'VE BARLEY HAD THE CAR SINCE MARCH . ALSO MY CAR TURNS OFF RANDOMLY NOW WHILE I'M IN A REVERSE MOTION. HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. ALSO THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS ON AND WON'T GO AWAY . I REPLACED TIRES AND THEY SAY IT'S A SENSOR. A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND THE SALES PERSON NEVER TOLD ME THERE WAS ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE.
