Avenger

  • 80,000 miles
The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated that while in his driveway the vehicle was stuck in a snow drift, he attempted to release the vehicle by revving the engine so the vehicle could rock back and forth. The contact stated the cabin filled with smoke but he was still able to drive the vehicle however as he was driving a fuel odor was detected. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was discovered that the exhaust insulation had burnt as result the plastic gas tank was damaged with holes. The contact was concerned if he drive the vehicle a fire would ignite. The contact also mentioned that a few years ago, that snow had entered the radiator fan and blew out a motor instead of a fuse.
