Owner report 10454298 · 2012-04-05 (April 5, 2012)
WHEN FILLING A EMPTY GAS TANK, I CAN GET ABOUT $2.00 OF GAS IN BEFORE GAS SPLASH BACK OCCURS. THIS CAUSES LARGE AMOUNTS OF GAS TO POUR ONTO THE GROUND AND ON MY SHOES AND CLOTHES. I HAVE TRIED 6 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND EACH GAS STATION DOES THE SAME THING. SO ITS NOT THE PUMPS. IT TAKES IN UPWARDS TO 10 MINUTES JUST TO PUMP $7.00 IN GAS INTO THE VEHICLE WHILE STILL SPLASHING GAS ON THE GROUND. IM TOLD THIS HAS TO DO WITH FAULTY ROLLOVER PROTECTION VALVES STICKING. WHEN FILLING UP VIA GAS CAN THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT PRESENT ITSELF. ITS JUST WHE…

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 DODGE AVENGER SXT IN LIGHT RAIN, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. EACH TIME THE CAR STALLED THE WIPERS WERE ON. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALER AND WERE TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM. A DAY AFTER HAVING THE CAR LOOKED AT IT STALLED AGAIN, ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION. CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER IMMEDIATELY, THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR 1 1/2 DAYS AND TOLD US THE SOLENOID VALVE IS GETTING RAW GASOLINE IN IT DUE TO US "TOPPING OF THE GAS TANK WHEN WE FILL IT UP" (NEVER HAVE DONE THAT). THEY…

CAR PURCHASED 2/08 WITH 8999 MILES. IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS A STARTING PROBLEM. USING FACTORY REMOTE STARTING THE CAR WOULD STALL AFTER A FEW SECONDS. ONCE IT FLOODED AND WOULDN'T RESTART WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL (A NO NO FOR THIS TYPE OF INJECTION SYSTEM). LOOKED AT BY DEALER THREE TIMES WITH NO PROBLEM FOUND AND NO FIX MADE. THE FOURTH TIME WE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THEY FOUND(NOW APPROX. 21000 MILES) IT BUT STILL NO CODE VISIBLE FROM COMPUTER. SERVICE WRITER SAID WE NEEDED A FUEL INJECTION SERVICE SO I SAID DO IT. HE SAID IT W…

I HAVE A DODGE AVENGER 2008 WHICH A COMPLETE LEMON. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO SEVERAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS (~15X) AFTER SPEAKING THE CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS AND ALL HAVE REFUSED TO FIX THE CAR STATING THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM WITH IT. I CURRENTLY HAVE AN EXTENDED CONTRACT 7YRS/70K WARRANTY WHICH I PICKED AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE AND IT IS STILL VALID, HOWEVER NO DODGE DEALER WILL SERVE MY CAR. EVENTUALLY I HAVE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND REPLACE AT LEAST ONE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BECAUSE, DODGE DEALERS WOULD NOT FIX…
