Avenger 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles
Have replaced brake pads and tires numerous times. Check engine light stays on, except for when it starts blinking(will blink 100 times or more before it stays illuminated) maintenance schedule has been followed, most things were replaced before scheduled. Door handle broke off when opening the unlocked door. The car now stalls at red lights and sometimes does not want to start at all. The car does not idle correctly ever, usually about 300 rpms.

I got a flat tire and I thought it was a nail. But there was a pair of pliers inside of the tire, underneath the rim. This had to have been there before I bought the car because the head of the pliers would not fit into one of the holes in my rims. Upon contacting Chrysler consumer hotline, I was lied to, told that Goodyear ships the tires and the rims. They obviously don't want to do anything to satisfy an unsatisfied customer. I had to spend 120 dollars for a new tire. I think that they should do something about this. They are totally trying to run around me and blame it on someone else. Please help me.( dot number: Tire size: 55R16 )
