The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated that the upholstery on the front passenger door pulled back. The contact glued the fabric back by himself, but the failure recurred. The contact also stated that the three climate control buttons in the vehicle were about to detach. The contact noticed that the plastic around the buttons was melted and caused the buttons to become loose. The vehicle was taken to freeland Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (615-270-8499. Located at 5800 crossings blvd, antioch, tn 37013) where the technician stated that the upholstery failure was a known issue.

Electrical system has critical internal errors where car will just shut-off completely. I've been on highway many times where my 2014 Dodge Avenger SE V6 has lost power and completely idles. The battery is still working but car will no longer start. I have infant child and this defect has become a source of anxiety every time I drive this vehicle. Also, the nuts and bolts seem to come undone from the side frames below the driver and rear doors, as well as bolts under hood such as on the engine compartments. Finally, royalty auto informed me that the oil filter housing unit on this vehicle is stocked with plastic, when it should be made from alloy metal to ensure quality and safety.

I was not notified of this recall! I logged onto my credit karma (today 3/14/2018) and they notified me that 3 recalls were issued for this vehicle back in 2016. Additionally, my husband was in an accident on 11/29/2017 and the air bags did not deploy. He was a tboned from someone who ran a stop sign and is suffering from neck and back issues caused from this accident.

I was involved in an accident. My car had 21000 miles. Someone ran a light through an emergancy lane the front of our vehicles collided. No air bags deployed, my engine ended up on the ground as well as my radiator. It was a total loss. Shouldn't there have been airbags deployed?

While I was driving, the hood of my car became unlatched and inverted onto my windshield and warping to my windshield, and denting the roof of my car. These cause the hinges, roof, hood and latches to be replaced. Nearly 4000$ in damage.
