Avenger

  • 171,215 miles
I was driving home and the car bucked like it was going to stall, just then I lost my dashboard lights, car kept running but sluggish. Got home to see if anyone else had this problem and found out that there was a recall for this issue, exactly what had happened to me was described on Chrysler's recall page. So I called Chrysler and they told me it wasn't my model, yet everything I read, even on your page, says 2008 Dodge Avenger and the problems I know have are described to a tee. Any help in this situation would be greatly appreciated as I don't have the money to fix Chrysler's problem. Thank you! recall id #74738 NHTSA campaign id- 08V152000 Chrysler recall no. H07.
