WE CONTACTED OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND QUESTIONED THEM ABOUT IT, THEY IN TURN CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NONE OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED IN THIS CAR! HOW IS IT THAT THIS CAR HAS NO WARNING ALARMS FOR THIS FRONT SEAT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BACK ROAD COMING UP TO A SEVERE CURVE THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT PUSHED AL THE WAY DOWN BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO SPEED UP. AS I CAME UP TO THE CURVE I COULD NOT MAINTAIN THE CAR ON THE ROAD AND IT FLIPPED FOUR TIMES AND LANDED IN A SWAMP AREA IN ABOUT 2 FEET OR THREE FEET OF WATER. *TR

I FEEL HEAT COMING FROM THE VENT NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE MIDDLE VENTS ALONG WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW VENT ONLY BLOWS ALMOST A/C COOL AIR ALL THE TIME.

I HAD JUST MERGED ONTO 69 HEADING HOME FROM SCHOOL. IT WAS AROUND 930PM. I START TO PICK UP SPEED TO BLEND IN WITH TRAFFIC. THERE WAS A THREE CAR ACCIDENT THAT OCCURRED SO WE ALL SLAMMED ON OUR BRAKES TO AVOID FROM HITTING IT. UNFORTUNATELY I HIT THE BACK OF A FLATBED TOW TRUCK GOING BETWEEN 45-50MPH. TO MY SURPRISE MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. EVEN THOUGH I HAD A RECALL ON MY CAR A FEW MONTHS BACK FOR THE AIRBAGS NOT WORKING RIGHT, SO I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY RECALL FIXED. SO WHEN I GOT IN THIS HEAD ON COLLISION I WAS IN SHOCK MY AIR BAGS STILL DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

THE CAR WILL DOWN SHIFT ON IT'S OWN TO FIRST GEAR WILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS . THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIME WHICH USUALLY CAUSES THE TRANS TO FAIL. WHEN THIS VEHICLE DOWN SHIFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO EXCEED THE RPM THAT THE DASH CAN EVEN SHOW. THE TRANS HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES . BEING REBUILT TWICE AND A FULL NEW REPLACEMENT THE 3RD TIME . THE FIRST REBUILD DID NOT LAST 5 MILES FROM THE DEALER BEFORE IT FAILED . THE SECOND LAST ABOUT 4500 MILES AND FAILED. THE 3RD TRANS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOW BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAS BEEN FORCED FAR PAST WHAT THE RPMS IT SHOULD EXCEED THERE IS NOW A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE . I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO NO AVAIL IT'S STILL NOT REPAIRED I WAS TOLD THE VIBRATION WAS TIRES . DEALER REPLACED RIMS AND TIRES .

I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND POSSES A RISK TO MY SELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER LLC THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT TO DRIVE IT HOW IT IS PLEASE HELP. *TR

2013 DODGE AVENGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE AND RECALL NOTICES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE ESC LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER ALSO BELIEVED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT WAS SITTING AT A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN HIS KNEE ERRONEOUSLY STRUCK AGAINST THE IGNITION KEY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALER STATED THAT IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM STALLING, THE IGNITION KEY SHOULD NOT MAKE CONTACT WITH ANY OBJECT WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OPERATING. ADDITIONALLY, THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE REAR OF VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY A CAR CUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO "JAM" ON THE BRAKES. WHEN I APPLIED THE ABNORMALLY HIGH AMOUNT OF INPUT TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN, LITTLE IF ANY EXTRA BRAKING WAS APPLIED TO THE CAR. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS ROOM IN THE OTHER LANE NEXT TO ME AND I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE LANES AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. BUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM DID NOT ACT PROPERLY. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TWO ADDITIONAL INCIDENTS WHERE "EMERGENCY BRAKING" WAS NECESSARY. IN ALL THREE CASES THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM BRAKING FORCE (CONSIDERABLY LESS BRAKING THAN A MINIVAN I OWN). IN ADDITION, IN NONE OF THE 3 CASES DID THE ABS ENGAGE (PRESUMABLY BECAUSE THE MAXIMUM BRAKING FORCE COULD NOT BE ATTAINED!). I HAVE COMPARED THE BRAKE PEDAL FEEL TO OTHER CARS I OWN, AND OTHER NEW DODGE CARS (I RENTED A CHRYSLER 300 FOR TWO WEEKS AND A DODGE CHALLENGER FOR 2 WEEKS) AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE BRAKES ON THE AVENGER ARE VERY "SPONGY" AS IF THERE IS AIR IN THE LINES. AT LOW SPEEDS THE SOFT FEEL OF THE BRAKES IS SOMEWHAT MASKED. AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND/OR EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, THE BRAKES REQUIRE EXTRA INPUT AND PEDAL TRAVEL TO PROVIDE THE SAME AMOUNT OF BRAKING FORCE WHEN THE BRAKING FORCE SHOULD INCREASE ON THE CAR. SINCE THE INCIDENTS, I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED MY COMPLAINT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, BOOSTER, AND ABS MODULE. WHILE THE FEEL HAS IMPROVED A LITTLE, THE BRAKES ARE STILL SPONGY AND THE PEDAL TRAVEL IS EXCESSIVE WHEN TRYING TO APPLY THE BRAKES HARDER. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT ALL NEW PARTS WOULD HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER IT NOW LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE MAY BE A DESIGN FLAW. DURING THIS TIME I HAVE ALSO LEARNED OF A WOMAN THAT HAS A 2014 CHRYSLER 200 (SAME BRAKE SYSTEM AS THE 2013 DODGE AVENGER) AND SHE HAD VERY SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

PURCHASED CAR 7/11/2013: (THE 7,000 MILES IS A GUESSTIMATE) 11/21/2013 WHILE IN WV FOR MY MOTHERS FUNERAL, PARKED IN GAS STATION, CAR RUNNING, IN PARK, L/R TURN SIGNALS STARTED FLASHING INDEPENDENTLY THEN THE FLASHERS STARTED GOING OFF, STOPPED BY THEMSELVES. THIS HAS CONTINUED, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY CODES, ALL CONNECTIONS LOOKED OK. STARTED KEEPING A LOG OF MILAGE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, STARTING ON 1/4/2014 MILEAGE 10,254 AND HAS CONTINUED TO CURRENT DATE 4/30/2014. THIS MAY HAPPEN ONLY ONCE BUT THEN AGAIN IT MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE SAME MILAGE. CAN NOT COUNT THE TIMES IT HAPPENS WHILE CAR IS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH KEYS IN THE HOUSE AND NO ONE TOUCHING THEM. I BELIEVE IT'S THE CLUSTER IN THE STEERING COLUMN. ALSO, I COULD NOT GET MY WIPERS TO SPRAY/WIPE UNTIL I TURNED THE TURN SIGNALS ON. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS HAPPEN? *JS

I PURCHASED MY CAR (SXT V6) 5/2013 FROM JOE CECCONI'S IN NIAGARA FALLS, NY.. I'VE PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2008 AVENGER WITH THE 4 CYL. ENGINE AND I AM A DRIVING ENTHUSIAST. I FELT THE CAR SHIFTING ROUGHLY AND I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/12/2013 BECAUSE I WAS ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR PULLING HARD TO THE LEFT. THE TECHS ASSURED ME THAT THE CAR WAS ONLY "LEARNING HOW I DRIVE" AND I EXPLAINED THAT MY 2008 DID THE SAME THING. FOR THE PULLING, THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT. WHEN I PICKED THE CAR UP, I DROVE IT AND IT WAS ABOUT 2 WEEKS (10/31/2013) BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT BACK IN DUE TO THE SAME ISSUES; PULLING, SHAKING AND A HARD SHIFTING TRANSMISSION. THE TECH ONCE AGAIN TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT MY CAR WAS WAY OFF ALIGNMENT...EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RECENTLY SERVICED. AROUND 12/5/2013, I TOOK THE CAR BACK ONCE AGAIN AND I SPOKE TO A TECH AROUND 6PM AND HE TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER USES "SNOWMOBILE TYPE TRANSMISSIONS" AND THAT THEY WILL ALWAYS SHIFT ROUGHLY, HE EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS NO FIX. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT SERVICE MY CAR AT THAT TIME OF DAY. ON 12/11/2013 THEY DID A WHEEL ROTATION AND AN ALIGNMENT, THE CAR STOPPED PULLING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, PULLING IS VERY SLIGHT NOW, POSSIBLY DUE TO NEEDING ANOTHER ALIGNMENT NOW. I HAVE AN ISSUE WHERE I WILL ALSO BE TRAVELING IN WHAT SHOULD BE THIRD GEAR SHIFTING TO FOURTH (ATTEMPTING TO PICK UP SPEED QUICKLY, USUALLY THRUWAYS) AND THERE ARE TIMES THAT THE CAR WILL NOT PICK UP SPEED QUICKLY, AS IF IT WAS SITTING IN SIXTH GEAR RATHER THAN THIRD OR FOURTH. THIS ISSUE IS NOT ALWAYS PRESENT AND I HAVE DECIDED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE AUTO STICK SINCE THERE IS NO FAILURE IN SHIFTING THIS WAY. THE ROUGH-SHIFTING TRANSMISSION IS SOMETHING THAT CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT IN THE DODGE AVENGERS FOR A LONG TIME BUT THEY SEEM TO DISREGARD THEIR AVENGER OWNERS. *JS

FROM DATE OF PURCHASE BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT 2013 DODGE AVENGER 3.6L BLACKTOP EDITION. WITHIN A FEW DAYS I STARTED NOTICING THE CAR WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ALIGNMENT LOOKED AT AND FIXED AND THEY SAID THEY RE ALIGNED EVERYTHING AND SHOULD BE FINE. AFTER A WEEK I NOTICED IT STARTED TO PULL TO THE RIGHT AGAIN. AT THAT POINT I TOOK IT INTO A DIFFERENT SHOP WHERE THEY ACTUALLY TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN'T RE ALIGN THE CAR BASED ON THE FACT THAT HOW THE CARS SUSPENSION WAS MANUFACTURED AND DESIGN IS FAULTY TO WHERE THE ALIGNMENT WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BE CORRECTED AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I AM MILITARY AND HAVE MOVED 2 TIMES SINCE THE PURCHASE AND HAVE TAKIN THE CAR TO SEVERAL SHOPS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SAME. THAT THE ALIGNMENT IS AS BEST AS IT CAN GET AND WILL ALWAYS PULL TO THE RIGHT BASED ON THE DESIGN AND HOW IT CAME FROM THE FACTORY. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 3 YRS NOW AND HAVE HAD TO BUY BRAND NEW TIRES EVERY YEAR WHILE ROTATING AND BALANCING MY TIRES EVERY 3 MONTHS. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT AND DODGE WILL NOT TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE FAULT AND HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY HELP IN COMING UP WITH A SOLUTION TO FIX THE SUSPENSIONS ALIGNMENT ALWAYS BEING OFF.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2013 DODGE AVENGER WITH THE 3.6 ENGINE AND SIX SPEED TRANNY ABOUT A WORK LATER I NOTICED ROUGH SHIFTING CLUNKING AND POPPING SOUND FROM THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND CONSTANT THUMPING AND SHUDDERING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. DEALERSHIP KEEPS SAYING IS WRONG WITH IT AND WILL NOT HELP ME. ONE YEAR LATER SAME PROBLEM STILL NO HELP. *TR

REAR BRAKES LOUD NOISE ON REVERSE ( DEALER TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CANT DO AND TO TAKE IT WITH CHRYSLER. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS ABLE TO GO A APPROX 1/4 OF A MILE AND PULLED INTO A PARKING AREA, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. THE CAR SEEMED FINE ALTHOUGH A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I WENT TO PASS A VEHICLE THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER AND THE CAR SMELLED AS THOUGH SOMETHING WAS BURNING. I HAD JUST FUELED THE CAR UP BEFORE THE INCIDENT. A WEEK LATER, I FILLED MY CAR UP AND ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T STALL I HAD THE SAME SITUATION WITH PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS TO PASS A VEHICLE AND NOT GETTING ANY POWER. I HAD THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE CAR WAS BOGGED DOWN IN THE MUD. VERY ALARMING FOR A NEW CAR. ALSO WHEN PASSING A VEHICLE AND GIVING IT THE GAS NOT ONLY DOES THE FRONT END OF THIS CAR LIFT UP IT IS ALMOST AS THOUGH IT FISHTAILS LIKE ON ICE IN THE FRONT END. VERY SCARY AND HARD TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHILE PASSING. *TR

NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING WHEN QUICKLY PICKING UP SPEED TO PASS A VEHICLE. THE STEERING PULLS FAST TO THE RIGHT AND FEELS AS THOUGH THE FRONT END IS FISH TAILING. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL. IT IS CALLED TORQUE STEER AND THAT ALL NEW VEHICLES DO THIS. TRYING TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY HARD. MINE WAS CHECKED, I WAS TOLD IT WAS BAD AND THEY DID ADJUSTMENTS AND AN ALIGNMENT AS WELL AS PUT THE BEST 2 TIRES ON THE FRONT. WITHIN 2 WEEKS MY CAR IS DOING THIS REALLY BAD AGAIN. MY STEERING FEELS LOOSE AND THE CAR IS HARD TO HANDLE AT MOST SPEEDS ABOVE 45 I FEEL AS THOUGH I AM DRIVING ON ICE AT ALL TIMES. WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS NORMAL IS BEYOND ME BUT IT SEEMS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CAN NOT CONTROL THE STEERING IN YOUR VEHICLE. *TR

I'VE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO HAVE IT FIX FROM THE RECALL ISSUES STATED ON THE ANNOUNCEMENT.

FROM THE FIRST TIME I BOUGHT THIS CAR THE BRAKES WOULD SQUEAL WHEN I WOULD BACKUP. I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DODGE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HE SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AVENGER MODELS FROM THE FACTORY. THEY TRIED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM BY CLEANING THE BRAKE PADS BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES DOWN TO THIS DAY. THE CHRYSLER COMPANY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. SO BASICALLY I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM. I GOT THE BBB INVOLVED BUT THEY COULD NOT ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING EITHER. THIS MAY NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IT IS CERTAINLY AN IRRITATION. *TR

SO I LEAVE FRUSTRATED THAT THEY CAN NOT FEEL WHAT I AM FEELING SO I TAKE IT TO MY HOME TOWN DEALERSHIP TELL THEM ABOUT WHAT I FEEL EVERYTIME I TAKE OFF FROM A PARKING LOT. ( FEB 7TH 2013) WHAT THEY BELIEVE IS THAT MY CAR IS "TRYING RO LEARN HOW I DRIVE" THAT THEY UPDATED MY COMPUTER. THEY SENT ME ABOUT MY WAY A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN I TRY TO LEAVE WORK I HAVE TO TRY 4 TIMES WHEN STARTING MY CAR BEFORE IT FIRES OFF! I THEN GO STRAIGHT TO OUR LOCAL AUTOZONE THEY PUT A TESTER ONMY BATTERY IT SHOWS UP WEAK. THEN THEY TEST MY ALTERNATOR IT SHOWS UP BAD.

CAR WAS PURCHASED AT THE END OF OCTOBER WITH 17 MILES ON IT. VERY SHORTLY AFTER, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALERSHIP TURNED THE LIGHT OFF AND IT CAME BACK ON A DAY OR SO LATER. THEY TURNED IT OFF AND SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED THE CAR. A WHILE AFTER NOISES STARTED TO BECOME MORE PREVALENT. THE MAIN NOISE IS COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AREA. IT HAPPENS WHEN THERE ARE SHARP TURNS, BACKING AND TURNING, AND IF ITS COLD. THE NOISE IS HARD TO DESCRIBE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A THUMP/CLICKING TYPE OF NOISE. VERY ANNOYING AND SOMEWHAT ALARMING SINCE THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT IN SEVERAL MONTHS...ANOTHER NOISE IS COMING FROM A LITTLE TO THE LEFT OF STEERING COLUMN. THIS IS MORE OF A FAINT NOISE. SOUNDS LIKE SMALL CLICKING. ONE OTHER NOISE CAME FROM THE CENTER OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING JUST DROPPED. LIKE SOMETHING JUST FELL DOWN. IT WAS VERY SCARY ACTUALLY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS WORKED FOR MONTHS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THIS WAS MY FIRST PURCHASE EVER AND I AM VERY UNHAPPY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I AM NOT CONVINCED. I THINK IT IS AN ISSUE THAT HASN'T BEEN BROUGHT UP VERY MUCH YET. THE CARS ARE BRAND NEW AND PEOPLE ARE STILL BREAKING THEM IN AND SUCH. I DO NOT FEEL AS SAFE AS I HAD IN THIS CAR. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE DODGE AGAIN. *TR

THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT JUMPS A BIT WHEN GOING FROM ACCELERATING TO SLOWING TO STOPPING. FEELS LIKE A VIBRATION SLOWING DOWN. ALSO THERE HAD BEEN NOISES COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AREA. AND YOU COULD HEAR LIKE A CLICKING NOISE. THERE WAS ANOTHER DIFFERENT NOISE FROM THAT AREA AS WELL. THE NOISES ARE HARD TO DESCRIBE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AND THEY ARE BASICALLY NOT FINDING ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE CLICKING/SOUNDS ARE NOT NORMAL AND THAT VIBRATION IS NOT NORMAL REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY SAY. THE CAR DOES NOT RUN AS SMOOTH AS A BRAND NEW CAR SHOULD RUN. WILL NOT PURCHASE A DODGE AGAIN. *TR

TOLD DEALERSHIP IT WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT BUT THEY COULD NEVER SCHEDULE A TIME TO FIX IT. FINALLY TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DODGE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIX THE BACK ALIGNMENT. THEY SAID THAT DODGE HAD INCORRECTLY PUT IT TOGETHER AND THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT! THEY TOLD ME I SHOULDN'T DRIVE MY BRAND NEW CAR BECAUSE IT'S PROBABLY NOT SAFE WITH THE ANGLE IN WHICH THE WHEELS ARE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13.

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON OCTOBER 21 2012 FRONT END CRASH THE AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY THE DAMAGE WAS FROM GRILL TO DRIVER SIDE DOOR. *TR

LIGHTS WERE IN AUTO POSITION, DROVE APPROX. 6 MILES WITH THEM ON AND RUNNING. MAD A STOP AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, WHEN I RESTARTED IT AND STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY I REALIZED MY LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER ON. HAD TO PUT THEM IN THE REGULAR ON POSITION TO RUN THEM. STOPPED THE CAR MANY TIMES, RESTARTED IT TRYING TO GET THE LIGHTS TO WORK IN AUTO BUT HAD NO LUCK. GOT HOME LET THE CAR SET 30 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR WITH THE LIGHTS IN AUTO AND THEY CAME ON FINE. WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 60MPH? SAFETY ISSUE!!! I AM VERY LEARY OF THIS CAR AND ITS SAFETY ON MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS! *TR
