Avenger ?

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

While driving down the road several times we have had other drivers flip us off and yell obscene words at us with our kids in the car. Had a gang member chase us asking if we were trying to mess with them for flickering the lights off and on. Scared the hell out of our kids and wife. she had a bad panic attack and we had to take her to the ER. This is a bunch of Bullshit that is causing problems for us! What do we do about the car stalling and lights flickering ???

airbag lights flicker ABS lights and all others inside

All the electrical lights inside the car flicker. As do all my Dodge Avengers. It is a faulty electrical system along with faulty tipm modules. I have 4 Dodge Avengers from 3 2012's and 1 2014. Every single one of them have a knocking under the dash which has not been fixed. And all of them have had problems with tipm modules. The airbags are killing people and I think this is just a fault that they knew about but still sold the cars without fixing the problems. They need to fix these problems, me as a american did not buy a car to get killed in nor to fix and spend money where is unnecessary for someone else to make a profit on mistakes and lives of others. Stop this madness and I for one want to press charges!
