1996 Dodge Avenger transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Transmission failed.
Car was parked with shifter in "p" and engine off. When I turned the key in the ignition the car took off like a banshee at full revs. I hit a building, some stone steps, went over a curb, and barely managed to make a 90 degree turn to avoiding running down two pedertrians. When key was turned off the car was still in "p". It appears that there may have been a recall (98v183000) for this problem, however we were never notified of it. We will never trust this car to drive again and are requesting that chrysler replace it.
