ELECTRICAL SYSTEM |
I NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR ON MARCH 29, 2012 AS I ATTEMPTED TO GET INTO MY CAR TO RUN AN ERRAND. MY CAR WOULD NOT START...CRANKED UP BUT WOULDN'T START. NEVER, EVER, HAD THAT PROBLEM SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SINCE IT WAS ABOUT 7:30PM. I LEFT WELL ENOUGH ALONE UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING. ATTEMPTED TO START CAR AT THAT POINT AND MY CAR STARTED. I DROVE OVER TO A GOODYEAR FACILITY TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIND OUT THE PROBLEM AND I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT WHATEVER PROBLEM I HAD THE PREVIOUS NIGHT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS STARTING UP. OKAY, FINE. WELL, ON APRIL 1, 2012, I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD GOING ABOUT 45MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR JUST STOPPED ON ME WHILE DRIVING. AS I TRIED TO TURN, MY STEERING WHEEL WAS LIKE IT WAS STUCK AND WOULDN'T MANEUVER. AT THAT POINT, I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE SINCE I WAS CLOSE TO A SIDEWALK. I TURNED MY IGNITION OFF AND WAITED A FEW MIN BEFORE TRYING TO START MY CAR AGAIN. TRIED 2 TIMES, BUT DIDN'T START UP. THE THIRD TIME I TRIED, MY CAR STARTED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN AROUND TO HEAD BACK HOME BEFORE THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR BACK IN TO GOODYEAR THE NEXT MORNING AFTER EXPLAINING ABOUT MY CAR STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THEY RAN A SCAN AND FOUND NOTHING. AFTER THAT, I WENT ONLINE AND SAW ON MOTORTREND.COM THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED ON APRIL 2, 2008 WHICH WAS THE SAME MONTH I PURCHASED MY CAR. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECALL BECAUSE I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER. WAS TOLD TO BRING IT INTO A DODGE DEALER, WHICH I DID THIS AFTERNOON ON 4/3/12, AND THEY FOUND NOTHING AFTER RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR, THAT'S FOR SURE. BECAUSE A CAR JUST DOESN'T KILL IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING FOR NO REASON. A RECALL IS NEEDED FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT APPEARS A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR |

AIR BAGS |
I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 DODGE AVENGER TO WORK ON 01/12/12. IT WAS RAINING THAT MORNING. I ATTEMPTED TO MERGE TO MY RIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED AND MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO TURN 360 DEGREES HOWEVER MY TIRES WERE NOT MOVING. I BANGED IN THE MEDIAN. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS UNCONSCIOUS AND THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER IS SOMEONE CUTTING MY DRIVERS DOOR OFF TO GET ME OUT. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OF A VEHICLE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW? I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RETURN TO WORK DUE TO MY INJURIES AND DODGE COULD CARELESS. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE THAT DAY....THANK GOD I DIDN'T. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT? *TR |
