What owners report
So a month ago the car started running hot Iâm unsure what the cause maybe and my reservoir has cracked. When I turn the ac or heat on the car begins to run hot as well.
My 2008 Dodge Avenger airbag light has been on for a while, I believe thatâs something that is defective and should be fixed by the manufacture. Iâd called a dealership and was told it was not a recall and therefore not covered. When the wipers are turned on in the morning and then turned off, they continue to wipe even turned off. When I use the right blinker, the light in the dashboard dims seems like an electrical problem. I believe other things might be wrong but Iâm not a mechanic. I would like my car to get inspected for safety. Thank you.
Breaking system failed, it is available for inspection, I told the state trooper what happened along with several police officers, they agreed that the breaking system was not supposed to lock up which caused the car to skid several feet and the end results are that a very bad wreck happened which left my car undrivable and locked up, the car front disk breaks , front wheel drive,there not suppose to lock up. The air bag did go off, there was no warning sign to let you know you were going to crash, the car picked up speed even while the breaks were fully pushed to the floor when the car did not slow down this caused a wreck and totaled the front of my car resulting in the frame being severe
The recalls associated to my vehicle are the same exact problems I am experiencing. My car is stalling and stalled on the highway. I couldnât accelerate and had to drive with my hazards.
