Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle in motion most on highway and sometimes city streets. Sometimes the car will bog down usually between 40--65 MPH when accelerating and also while not. Took to dealership they keyed it (test) and said manifold sensor or sensor about $1500.00 repair. Got this fixed and car still doing it. This has been going on for at least 5 years that I know of. I don't drive vehicle all the time but when it gets drove it happens. The last time this happened was 2 weeks ago. Its was going on at about 50000 miles”
NHTSA complaint #11254675, filed 2019-09, 104,000 miles“When I refuel my 2009 Avenger the fuel comes back out the filler tube. I can't even set the lock on the pump to the first click or it will burst gas out and splatters the car and myself. Looks like the 2008's had the problem also.”
NHTSA complaint #10537403, filed 2013-08, 48,000 miles“My check engine light came on p2004. I then took it to a shop and was advised it was the electronic throttle control. They have been getting many customers taking their cars in for the same problem. Was advised to take it to Dodge because there should be a recall. The shop did not even charge me for the diagnostic. The car is not drivable. I stalled and was almost hit at a light. I called Dodge and it is going to be $105 for a diagnostic and once they find out what needs to be done they will give me a price. The information from the other shop told me to start looking online. …”
