Dodge Avenger Reviews

Bought my 2012 Dodge Avenger R/T with 7 miles on it. Looks great but within the first week, my back brakes were screaming. I took it in right away and the dealership said it was fine. They still scream! Very embarrassing!! I've replaced my front struts 4 times!! In the past year, my check engine light has come on. I quickly had a diagnostic (185.00) that came up with an exhaust code but nothing was wrong with it. They cleared the code and sent me on my way. My brake light comes on at random times. Again took it in and they say nothing is wrong.

Bought this vehicle brand new in January 2013. I loved the way it handled in the snow with the abs. We even drove it to Florida that February. Now exactly 2 yrs from the date we left for Florida I was driving in town and a car in front of me suddenly decided to turn. I hit the brakes and..... NO BRAKES!! Not even a skid mark! The car kept going and I hit the vehicle in front of me totaling my Avenger and me a trip to the hospital, very badly bruised and banged up from the airbag!

Brake squealing yes. Dealer no solution - rough shifting transmission water leaking into trunk and back seat floor power window stopped working. Many problems with the dealership and Chrysler. I've always been Mopar man. I own 4 Dodges - this Avenger RT is by far the worst I've had but it also makes you rethink your dedication to Chrysler. My next new car will not be Chrysler but I will research my choice next time instead of trusting the quality of Chrysler. It's almost paid for with 65000 miles on it so good luck to whoever gets it when I trade. I think I'll research Lexus. Never owned anything but Chrysler GM and Ford. Maybe I'll try a foreign-based car now at 53 yrs old. Yes I know the big 3 are mostly foreign now. Detroit is dead.

As someone else mentioned right away after buying my 2011 Dodge Avenger my batteries squeaked also when I back up! Ever since I got the car! I have had it looked at and they can't do anything about it... Now my battery light is coming on so we went and got a new battery. After that now the light is still coming on so it has to be something else! Probably the alternator! Does anyone else know what it can be? I'm not too happy about this car!

We bought the car new, the brakes squeals real loud when you back up. This started about two or three months after we bought it. Gulfgate Dodge tried to fix it by resurface the rotor and put new pads but it started back, it went back two times. So now we are being told there is nothing more to do. And I have asked other people, some are having the same problem. Chrysler says there is that can be done. Seems to me the material that they used is bad.

I buy this car used with 9000 miles and I been problems since I buy the car the check engine light come on for no reason and when is on, the car won't start with the remote. And today I was driving the car and it just turn off itself and I cannot start it. So I hear a lot of people is having problems with this car, so I'm not recommended this car to nobody.

I bought my 2010 avenger express in January of 2012 with only 13,000 miles on it. I have had problems in the last year and half. My major complaint is the electrical problem. It causes my alarm to go off whenever it wants and once you turn it off it goes off immediately. I have the touch screen radio and it does as it pleases, has been replaced once already and is doing it again. My transmission shifts funny at times and my car doesn't want to start 1/4 of the time. I took it in last year and all they said was "we replaced the radio," "transmission is fine," and "the water got into the truck through the tail light," and they replaced that.

I purchased my 2013 Dodge Avenger brand new. I have been to the dealership 5 times concerning my brakes. The first time they changed the pads, 2nd time they replaced the rotors, 3rd time they resurfaced them, 4th time they put stop squeak on them. Now on today 12-17-2014 I'm back at the dealership for the same thing "my brakes". My brakes make a very loud noise when I back up. I wake up my neighborhood every morning backing out my driveway. It's so embarrassing when I'm backing up. I'm going to file a complaint with the BBB. Everyone should do this!

Me and my wife purchased a 2014 Dodge Avenger SXT BlackTop Edition about 4 months ago. This car was purchased for her. In the short time we have owned the car we have had numerous problems with the vehicle. At first,we took the car back to the dealer because there was glue coming from the rear seat and they "fixed" it. We also informed them that they had drilled the front license plate in crooked, they said they had fixed it and actually made it less crooked, but plate still is very crooked. I also informed the dealership that several of the body panels were crooked. The passenger headlight was crooked and the driver headlight was in perfect, they attempted to fix this and actually chipped a small piece off the corner of our passenger headlight. Thanks for that! Front hood is noticeably crooked as it hangs over one fender and goes inward on the other side. The front grill hangs down on one side. All the doors are crooked and gaping distance is way off and doesn't match or look uniform at all.

I bought my 08 Dodge Avenger SXT new on 1/1/2008. This car was great for a couple years (minus typical recalls, etc). The problems started after I nearly ran over someone at a stoplight when I had my foot off the brake and the car suddenly accelerated. I thought it might be a fluke and didn't take it in until the 2nd time it did that. It would also randomly die when stopping after driving on the tollway. Dealership flashed the computer and that solved that. Then I notice the leather seats are cracking and the paint on the hood is bubbling, so I contacted Dodge corporate because it's still a fairly new car. They covered 50% of the repair- replaced the hood and recovered the seats. The seats are already cracking again though.

I purchased a Dodge stowaway grand caravan last year and have had nothing but problems. The seats middle row in the back have very easy to activate levers that throw them flying forward. My toddlers have whacked each other with them numerous times! With winter last year year piling in the van and waiting to be buckled in they've pushed the levers resulting in bumps and bruises!!! The dud doors and windows don't stop closing even when object aka- child is in the way!! Then I hear how unsafe in an accident and my faith in Dodge is gone. Also my dealer at Miller Dodge in Springfield, PA won't even help me get a different car. I have called Dodge and talked to many people who seem to care but nothing gets resolved. Shameful business.

23,000 miles, door locks fail, had to have the switches replaced. Windows would not roll up and down. In fact one was down and it stayed that way till the repair. 40,000 miles, started noticing weird electrical problems. Windshield wipers would come on by themselves occasionally and when I hit the blinkers to turn the washer, fluid would sometimes squirt and set the washers off. 43,000 miles - alternator failed. 60,000 miles, alternator again. Gas cap light comes on all the time even though its on tight with no problems. We even tried other caps. Went to have our new tires rotated and the shop says the rear end is out of alignment from the factory and there is no way to adjust the trail arms. Preset incorrectly at the factory and that is causing tire wear. Factory recall on something with the shifter. Took it in to have that done and they messed up the lights that come on in the indicator, blinks on and off and sometimes won't come on at all now, unless you tap it.

I bought my 2012 avenger earlier in the year of 2014. The car had just under 18000 miles on it and I had to take it back to the dealership to get the throttle body replace - after owning the car about five months, I had them to check front brakes. They told me I needed new rotors and brake but they couldn't tell me why. When braking, the car gets a loud vibrating noise at the front passenger side. I told them I would keep an eye on it. I inspected it myself and found rotors and brakes are fine but the rotor is actually rubbing on the brake caliper bracket, in turn causing rotor to heat up while braking. Only option I have now is to buy new brakes and rotors and replace them, or have rotor turned to clean up top inner edge and hope for the best. So far these are the only problems I've had. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I bought this car new and soon afterwards that every time you back up and apply the brakes they squeal, and I don't mean a little bit, but enough to wake the whole neighborhood. I brought it back to the dealership and they told me they could not fix the problem, that it was a flaw from the factory. I contacted the Chrysler Corp. and told them they needed to do a recall on this car and fix the problem. I have read many other complaints about the same problem. All of us Avenger owners need to contact the BBB and file a complaint (I have already done so). The louder the cry the more apt they are to respond.

In July of 2013 I purchased a brand new Dodge Avenger SE V6 from Bayside Chrysler in Diberville MS which is the worst place to ever buy a car. The very first day I notice it pulling to the right and a wind sound coming from the driver door. A week later I notice constant rough shifting, clunking, shuddering and popping sounds coming from the steering and motor mounts. I took it to the dealer and they reflashed the transmission which made no difference and they told me that it was not pulling to right and they did not hear any sounds. I have since taken the car back multiple times and told that they cannot duplicate the problem. I even call Chrysler consumer care which was no help at all. They just told me it was nothing they can do. One year later the transmission is even worse, now it's slamming into drive, thumping hard when coming to a stop. Still no help from dealership or Chrysler. Chrysler is a car company that is behind in time and still repeatedly producing poorly engineered crap. No wonder they needed to be bailed out.

I bought my Avenger in November and December, my brakes were making loud squeaking sound. I took it to shop, they said that nothing could be done. I took it back in July and they said same thing, it just what the avenger do. Now it's SEPTEMBER and it is getting louder. I took it to shop today and he said maybe stop squeak will work. I'm so fed up. I'm driving a new car and it sounds like a clunker. I would not recommended for anyone to buy this car. If you thinking about buying a Avenger PLEASE DON'T. I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE. NEVER EVER BUY A AVENGER.

Around May of 2013, I purchased what would become my second Dodge Avenger, this one being a 3.6 L SXT Plus, my first being a 2008 SE model. I would like to point out that I will be adding (2008) next to any complaint that also occurred on that year vehicle. As stated, I purchased my 2013 around May, but to my disbelief, I started noticing that the car pulled to the right (06/22/2013, 3,296 miles). Initially, I thought it was the road, it wasn't. This kept occurring, and I took it in once again for the same reason (08/10/2013, 6,255 miles). On 10/5 and 10/12 2013, 9,767 miles, I was back in the shop for the same thing; however, this is when my transmission started acting up also.

I have a 2013 Dodge Avenger 3.6 liter R/T model. The R/T model with the larger 6 cylinder engine has the same brake rotors as the lighter 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engines. The car does not have the ability to stop within a safe distance! I also own a Ford F150 (with an open bed) and a Toyota Prius. Both the F150 and the Prius stop at least 25 feet shorter than the Avenger at 50 miles an hour. All have ABS braking. I feel this car was designed with dangerous brakes! I am not looking forward to our first accident!

I bought a 2014 Dodge Avenger in June this year. I had to go back to the dealership at 1500 hundred miles because the check engine light came on. They said it was just a vacuum leak. Now at 1850 miles I have to go back as the light is back on. Not very happy with this.

I'm really proud of my 2013 Dodge avenger with 14,000 miles on it always garaged hand washed and waxed regularly. I was really happy to see the blisters on the front of the hood sitting beside this car in my garage is a 2001 Jeep grand Cherokee with 228,000 miles on it that has no blistered paint. The avenger also has brakes that wrap really easy so the brakes are vibrating also and to top it off an air bag recall also. The result of this is I'm in the process of trying to trade this car in on a non Dodge product.

I am having the same problem in my 2013 Avenger. They don't have a clue what's wrong. Then the inner tie rod broke and come to find out it's a recall I was not informed of. Then a whine in the engine when idling and that is also a recall. Those parts are on order, but the main problem still remains. Looks like there will be many trips back to the dealer. Or will demand an exchange!

I have a 2008 Dodge Avenger. At first this car was great. Then things started to go wrong, pretty quickly. Thankfully I have a lifetime warranty which is why I have had this car for so long. Some of the problems I have had include the leather seat cracking and tearing within the first year of ownership, the automatic windows failing to work at random, the transmission slipping almost every time I drive it.

If you buy a Dodge Avenger (or any Dodge product) drain all the oil out and put that fully synthetic oil in. Can't believe they haven't suggested this yet. If you don't, your check engine light will come.. screw up your timing chain and eventually blow your engine. If you didn't do this right after you bought it, you may have to flush your system. Conventional oils does not work well with these models.... Save your time. The dealership is clueless.

I recently bought at 2013 Dodge Avenger SE in February 2014. I have been in love with this car. I love the way it handles and it's roomy enough in the backseat for my twins. That all changed on June 25, 2014. I had driven my car about 15 miles to work; went inside came back out within 10 minutes, started the car and the exhaust pipe caught the right rear bumper on fire. Scared me to pieces. My car is currently at the dealership and they are telling me that although my car is still under full factory warranty, this does not apply.

I just got this car for my 18 year old daughter. The brakes are brand new and squeak like crazy. New rotors leave dealership and car started again.. My daughter got home and locked the door. 5 mins later, went to car and doors would not unlock. Key wouldn't work either... So she is locked out the car period... Please do not buy this car.

I'm not sure where to begin! After approx 3 months of buying this car, which by the way had 1 mile on it, on date of purchase. I began to notice a horrible screech coming from the back end. This noise continues with a total of 8 times to the Dodge dealership and 1 time for a Power control module. It has approx 15,000 miles on it. I drive a lot for my job! Which by the way I have had to find other alternative means for transportation to fulfill my obligation to my job! My husband has contacted corporate and he gets the same response. "Well, you need to take it in one more time, one more time." Seriously!!! I just picked it up today 05192014 and drove off the lot less than 1/8 of a mile and sqqqqeeekkkk. I drove it back to the service shop and my husband had the service manager hear the noise. He shook his head and said, "I just don't know, I am seriously embarrassed."

40, 000 miles Alternator goes out. $600.00 to fix at dealer... Also after it rains, water pours out of my locking mechanism. Had a 2002 Dodge Avenger before this 2010 Avenger engine blew up at 96,000 miles. I'M DONE WITH THIS COMPANY!

Dodge Avenger 2008 - Junk... that sums this car up. Parked at work one day and car would not go out of park. Called garage and they told me I did not know how to start my car...go figure... Made one of them come to where I work and the poor boy could not get it out of park. Found out there was a recall on a plastic clip under the gear shifter... Rear third light leaked water into the trunk, got it fixed and light has never worked since. Passenger side floor boards had about 3 inches of water floating around, told me it was from the passenger window that would thunk real hard when putting it up, got a new window regulator and still get water in floor boards. Had to replace tires at around 30k miles... they rotted. Now as I am driving down the road the car will shut off. I have had it into the garage for all of these things to never have anything fixed.They told me not to worry about it shutting off... I finally told them what to kiss... Now I am saddled with a death trap, just waiting to be on interstate and get killed in this car. Also front bumper is falling off on drivers side...but yet again they blamed me. Took it to another place and they said, "no way," was it my fault... it was poor workmanship of that car.

FEB. 2013 I purchased a 2012 Dodge Avenger with 31,000 miles. It's now March 2014, less than two years old and here are the ongoing issues. Car hasn't started (no codes read) 5 times now, brakes squeal but pads/rotors are mint condition, head restraint airbags recalled, airbag module quit (min. $550) to fix, leaking trunk. The car now has 39,468 miles. The heater core needs replaced. $668 fix for a less than 2 year old car which just happens to not be covered under my extended warranty but the HVAC system is? Brown sludge and goopy slime flushed from radiator and hoses at 38,000. My manual doesn't suggest checking HVAC system out until 60,000 miles. Royally cheated with this vehicle and dealerships around town.

Visit the dealership in May, simple oil change, dipstick broken, returned in June, oil leak from the oil pan, informed leak was from coming from the the oil pan gasket, repaired the leak, returned to dealership in July, oil leak coming from the oil pan. October had vehicle towed to dealership, the motor is blown. I want my car repaired and Chrysler to offset some of the repair cost of $4200.00

Purchased a 2010 Dodge Avenger in June 2013. Problems started immediately with the car and the car place where we purchased this vehicle. Took it back, told them about the leak and electrical problems. They put an inspection sticker on it and said it was OK. Neither thing was fixed. It took until November to have part of the electrical problem fixed and then they yelled at us because the car had no oil. We were shocked because we had requested an oil change with our FREE inspection. We came to find out in December that the engine had a problem and the oil was spewing out!!! It wasn't our fault at all.

So, I just purchased a 2013 Dodge Avenger SXT Rallye 4 Cylinder in April 2013. I drove it off the lot with 10 miles on it. The only change I made to the car was replacing the stock stereo with a name brand and replaced all of the speakers. The car for the most part has been terrific, great gas mileage, no engine problems and I have put 12000 miles on it already. I do maintenance on it often. The last of which was a month ago to change the oil. Lately I've been having a few minor problems with one main problem. My brakes are still good. I had them checked by professionals yet every day when I start my car and pull out to go to work and they squeak extremely loud like metal on metal. This has been happening for about 2 months now.

Paint on the hood bubbling, not even 50000 mile on it. Trunk was leaking when we first bought the car .Went to the dealer and their body shop told me this was normal wear. My Ford is a 2010. No paint is bubbling on it .All I got to say is their Dodge might look good on the outside but inside is a piece of crap.

I bought my 2013 Dodge Avenger on 9/29/2012. On October 1st, I was back at the dealer. I was having issues with my brakes. I talked to the head mechanic and he test drove it. He said he could not see anything wrong with it. He then told me that it was a new car and that my brakes would have to get used to the way I drive. What not that I had to get used to them; but with the new technology today, they had to get used to me. Guess he thought I was really stupid!!! They never recorded the visit over the next 5 months. I took my car back 10 or 11 times over which 6 or 7 were not recorded.

I had posted back on December 18th about my trunk leaking and well they said they fixed it. But what's new now is the water leak has moved back to the third light and I also had water in my right taillight bulb area. This caused me to get pulled over by a Pekin Police Officer and a verbal warning was given. But wait, there's more! I had also had my grille replaced due to what looked like stress cracks. Now, the grille is completely loose on bottom and is scratching up the front bumper. I'm just waiting for whole body panels to start falling off.

I've had my Avenger (SXT 2.4L) since it was new. It's been in the shop at least 8 times and is in there currently for trunk leak, under engine guard, and heater controls going out. I have talked with Chrysler Corporation so many times about having them buy back this vehicle. They have done nothing for me but get me a rental car while my car is in the shop which I pay for and they're supposed to reimburse me for. I have had 5 Chrysler products none of which I ever had problems with till this POS! I suggest to everyone that no one ever buy a Dodge or Chrysler product! They won't stand by their product or feel any sympathy for the consumer after vehicle purchase! I'm a salesman at a Toyota dealership and would never see Toyota treat a customer like I have been treated. Is it bad that I hope someone hits me and totals this so-called "good" Dodge product?

2008 Dodge Avenger R/T - 31,000 is using 1 quart of oil every month at just under 1000 miles. I've had the car 4 months and put in 6 quarts of oil, plus oil change. Dodge says "normal consumption levels by our standards." Really, I asked for the standards, but apparently they are only for dealers, and the dealer isn't willing to share a copy. I think it's all a big lie, because they know the Avenger is a piece of junk and they don't want to fix it.

I have a 2010 Avenger that I bought used a year ago. When the blower stopped working, I took it into the dealer and they stated that the wire harness had melted and the blower motor was bad and that it would cost at least $2000 to fix it! Chrysler should have a recall on this!

I have a 2008 Dodge Avenger with 36,000 miles on it, which is very low. Now the engine light is on and it's showing a code p0606 PCM fault, which I was told it’s the computer. It needs to be replaced, which I think Chrysler Dodge should have to stand behind this and fix at no charge. Help!

I bought a Dodge Avenger 2011 June 28 from Maroone Dodge of Pembroke Pine located at 13601 Pines Boulevard. I have visited that facility on more Saturdays than I care to talk about. This car has several problems with it and your mechanic and technicians have tried their best to get it right. I brought the car back complaining about the rear window with a noise, they fixed it twice so far. I complained about the front passenger window. It's the same problem; this is their second time fixing that. I've complained about the back brakes that's been making noises ever since I purchased the car.

I purchased a brand new 1999 Dodge Avenger from S,vale Dodge in 1999. My problem is that the clear coat and paint on the roof as well as the hood and driver’s rear side panel is deteriorating. My car looks like a horrible old weather-beaten car where the deterioration is. I find this very upsetting considering that I paid a lot of money for this car. I paid my car payments on time and paid my car off early. If you take the time to do a search Dodge clear coat chipping, you will be amazed how many car owners online that have purchased 1990 to 2007 are experiencing these same circumstances. I find it unbelievable that no one is held accountable for the defective formula of paint/clear coat that was used.

I have a 2008 Dodge Avenger that has had several recalls, needed the hood repainted, the trunk leaks very bad. I have replaced the alternator and two pulleys, the dome light broke right after I got the car, the leather seat is cracking, the transmission has slipped since day one, the window switch stops working at times. Those are a few of the issues. Dodge has said I don't qualify for the lemon law because I haven't had enough work done on it in the allowed time. That is due to the fact that they would not do the repairs. All I really wanted was for them to do the repairs that are from the lousy manufacturing. This is a 2008 piece of junk that I will be paying on for about three more years.

During the Memorial Day Weekend my passenger side carpet was soaking wet. I mean puddle wet. My car is 2 years and 1 month old. I took it to the dealership and they said it would cost $92 just to look at it. I was hesitant, but I was informed that the warranty would "probably" cover it. As we all know, it didn't. I was informed that "leaves and debris" clogged the drain tube of my air conditioner which caused the water to back up in to my vehicle. I was informed that there was nothing that I could have done to prevent this and that it was merely the design of the car.

My complaint has to do with my 1998 Dodge Avenger. I was in a fast food drive-thru and I reached for my wallet. To do this, you have to raise your rear off the seat, which means you have to lean back against the seat. When I leaned back, the back of the seat broke. The back of the seat does not stay upright now. I think it sucks that I have to buy a new seat. Why can't we make Chrysler pay for my seat? I have seen cars from the 80's that are so much sturdy than my car, which is a 1998. Please let me know if Chrysler should fix this problem. Thank you.

Well I bought a 2008 Dodge Avenger in March 2008 with 20,000 miles. I guess around October to now, I start having problems with this vehicle.

On the Dodge website, they listed a financial incentive ($2,000 cash allowance) for purchase of a 2009 Dodge Avenger for my zip code (32765). I saw this on 1/11, 1/12, and 1/13. I just purchased this vehicle at Bob Dance, Florida on 1/12, and they only provided a $1,500 rebate credit. They claim the website is incorrect and in error. I called the Dodge help number and after they did research, they also said the website is wrong, and that it should be $1,500. Well, the website, 3 days later, still says $2,000 cash allowance. I believe this is a deceptive advertisement or that they should be accountable and honor their website information. This website is used in Florida and possibly, in other parts of the country, so this difference of $500 rebate allowance can add up to millions of dollars when multiplied by the number of vehicles being sold.

Brooklyn Dodge is accusing me of something that did not happen with me. My conclushion is that car has defects on it and they must stand liable to it, and not have me pay for repairs on a new Dodge Avenger 08. How on earth can I get parts for a car that don't have parts on the market, if the car have been in an accident as they claim.

2008 Dodge Avenger that I have owned now for 6 months: Beginning of fall - tree parts (IE: small twigs, leaves, and helicopters) were on the car for 1 1.5 days over the weekend when I did not drive the car. The day I went to get in I was brushing off the leaves/helicopters when I noticed on the paint circular marks where the helicopters were with streaking.

I purchased a Dodge Avenger in 2001 and within the last year, the entire clear coat on the roof,hood,trunk of car has burned off, leaving patches of white primer all over the car. I refuse to have the entire car repainted because the paint job on the car is suppose to last a while, at least more than 5 years. When it is time for a new vehicle,I will never buy a crysler product again.

My Dodge Avenger has had MANY problems. I discovered that there was a bolt sheared off in the frame. At first I thought the previous owner had been in a wreck or something. Then I read all the complaints from other Dodge owners about bolts mysteriously shearing off. Another problem I've had is the door handles.My driver's side door handle broke off. After I got a new handle put on, the locking mechanism broke off inside the door. A few months later, the passenger side door handle broke off. Now I have to unlock the doors on the passenger side, then walk to the driver's side to get in, and lean over to open the passenger door if someone is riding with me. Now my transmission is completely blown and my car only has 106,000 miles. There shouldn't be serious transmission problems yet at that mileage. Now I have to fork out $2000 to get everything with the transmission repaired. I will never own another Dodge as long as I live.

purchased used dodge avenger 3 mo. ago, 120k mi, but ran good. had to take a loan to buy ths car (3 yrs of car pmts ahead) after 1 month, had to replace starter, only about $400.00 so i can live with that. during 3rd month, absolutely no warning, transmission completely malfunctioned due to a design fault, i was stuck on the hwy in subzero temps all alone. mechanic said something about differential blew out/spun through all dears and through the tranny pan. apparently, this happens to these trannys w/o warning. i was thrilled about this car when i bought it, it was extremely well maintained since new (including tranny maint)i have owned many much older junkers w/ many more miles on them, and have never had a transmission blow out on me. repair would be over $2000.00, i am a single mom, just making ends meet so putting that $$ into it will be unlikely. however, i now have to make car pmts for 3 years and have no car. at first, i thought i would never again buy a car that wasnt mopar,(the avenger was my first chrysler/dodge) now i know that the opposite is true.

Our 97 dodge avenger blew a headgasket with under 50,000 miles but out of warranty. It cost almost $900 to fix. Chrysler would not cover it. We also had a dodge 600 and chrysler lebaron blow headgaskets multiple times sometime in warranty sometimes out. We no longer get discounts on Chryslers and will no longer buy their sedan. Beware of the headgaskets.

I purchased a 99 dodge avenger at South Oak Dodge. In February I notice that the rims were bent. I expressed this to the Sales Representative Don. Don never said anything about having them replace the rims. On March 1, 2003, I went out to my vehicle and the tire was flat. I went to Sparks around the corner and they put the spare tire on and they also told me that the brakes were bad. I took the vehicle back to Dodge and spoke with the Sales Manager, John Ferguson, He stated that they had the car in their inventory for 30 days and the tire never went flat and they didn't notice the bent rims. He also stated that he didn't know anything about the brakes being bad. I pulled up a car fax and the car was in their inventory on 1/22/03. I bought the vehicle on 1/29/03 at 7pm. Well, to make it simple John is refusing to replace the bent rims on the vehicle that they sold. but, he told me to bring my vehicle back on monday so that they can look at the brakes. He also stated that they would have never put the vehicle on the market with bent rims. So one of use are lying about the bent rims and brakes. In fact; they knew the rims were bent and I seriously, believe that they never done an inspection on the vehicle before it was placed on the market.

Recently my 18 year old daughter was driving our Dodge Avenger 1995. She was pulling forward out of a parking spot at school when the accelorator cable broke and the car sped forward as fast as it could. Luckily she had good driving skills and was able to turn quickly to avoid a building, but hit the curb damaging the wheel. She then pulled the emergency brake and turned off the engine. This could have been much worse if she had been trafic when it broke. We were also involved in the ball joint recall, ours broke 2 yrs before the recall.I saved our records so they did refund us.

I bought a 95 Dodge Avenger in 10/97. In 7/00 my transmission developed a hole in it due to faulty casing. Was replaced with a used one. Now, it 10/02 and my second transmission has also developed a hole. I have also experienced having to replace all hub assemblies, brakes, o2 sensors. I have a constant shudder in my front end. My abs are out since almost after I have bought the car, and a constant ticking in my front end.

I called Chrysler Corp. notifying them of a problem with the headlights in my car, the headlights have a coating over them , almost like hard water deposits, this poses a potential driving hazard to me and others on the road, when I'm driving at night I drive with my high beams on, and it is very hard for me to see, the other cars coming my way don't even warn me that my high beams are on, when you are standing outside of the car at night it looks as if you have your low beams on, and it reall y doesn't look like low beams, it looks as if my battery is dying.
