| When filling up the gas tank, the pump clicks off but then a bunch of gas spurts out of the tank onto the car and ground. this is incredible unsafe and environmentally hazardous. repair is about $1000. given the number of previous reports on relatively low mileage vehicles, this should be a recall. | |||

| When filling the car up you cant get 1.5 gals in before it spits fuel out on you and the side of the car. the fuel tank is collapsing and pushing fuel out of top of tank and onto the ground while parked and driving really worried about causing undercarriage fire and i have research this and a lot of people are having the same issue. the dealer cost almost $1,000 to fix it, we need to make this a recall for the people's safety as well as my family's thank you | |||

| When filling the gas tank the gas comes shooting back out of the tank. this has happened since i purchased the vehicle in 9/2010 and has consistently gotten worse. it now happens every time i fill the tank unless i stop it before it is completely full. i have been completely soaked in gasoline because of the velocity of the gas coming back out of the tank. i have contacted dodge as there are recalls on jeeps for the same issue and there is currently not a recall on the dodge vehicles. *tr | |||

| Received indicator light that electronic throttle control failed, in the middle of traffic my car dropped speed to 20 miles an hour, i was almost rear ended with two children in my car. i have spoke to several dodge certified mechanics and they has all attested that this is a known issue but not being fixed. i called dodge and they said my issue was an isolated incident. when i told them that i spoke to their mechanics and research and found hundreds of other customers with this issue they said and i quote you can find anything you want if you search long enough. some one is going to get killed if their car drops to 20 miles an hour on a freeway. *tr | |||

| My 2008 dodge avenger will spill fuel at every refueling regardless if i use the locking mechanism on the fuel pump or if i fill by hand when the tank gets to full tank. it's almost like there is too much pressure built up that it spits fuel back out. this is a common occurrence with a lot of new avengers. just do a simple google search on dodge avenger gas overflows. dodge please issue a recall. *tr | |||

| Tl-the contact owns a 2008 dodge avenger. the contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the voltage indicator began to illuminate and the engine would not accelerate. the contact was able to maneuver the vehicle into a turning lane with less traffic. the vehicle was then towed to the dealer. the dealer diagnosed the vehicle and informed the contact that they were unable to find a failure. the vehicle was taken to a personal mechanic and the alternator was replaced. two weeks later, the failure recurred and the contact remained on the side of the highway for three hours, at which time she was able to successfully start the vehicle. a week later, the failure recurred again. in each instance the vehicle would start and have power, but would not accelerate. the vehicle had not been repaired. the failure mileage was 91,631 and the current mileage was 93,046. sm. | |||
