Dodge Avenger problems

The Dodge Avenger is a front-wheel drive, mid-sized sedan that was marketed by Dodge. The Avenger made its North American debut in 1994 for the 1995 model year as a coupe that was produced until 2000. The model name was reintroduced to the market as a four-door sports sedan starting in 2007 for the 2008 model year. The Dodge Avenger name had earlier been used on South African market Hillman Avengers in 1975 and 1976.
The 2014 model year marked the end of Avenger production as the mid-sized models for both the Dodge and Chrysler brands were consolidated into the new Chrysler 200 introduced for the 2015 model year while Dodge received the new compact Dart.
Nameplate history
The first use of the Dodge Avenger name was on a badge engineered version of the European Hillman Avenger, exclusive to South Africa. The same car was sold in North America as the Plymouth Cricket between 1972 and 1974. In place of the Hillman engines, this version used a Peugeot 1.6 litre engine (as also installed in locally assembled Peugeot 404s) in order to satisfy local content requirements. The Dodge-branded Avenger was introduced in 1975 and was then renamed Chrysler in 1976. This generation has nothing in common with later Dodge Avengers. After Chrysler ZA was merged into Sigma in 1976, the Avenger was soon cancelled to allow Sigma to free up more production capacity for the Mazda 323.

Dodge Avenger 2013
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-23
- Date Complaint: 2024-07-23
- VIN: 1C3CDZAB6DN
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE
- Summary: I urgently need your assistance regarding a critical and unsafe situation concerning the PCM/ECU. Recently, while driving, my car began to shudder as if it was on the verge of stalling. To add to the alarming situation, every warning light on the dashboard illuminated. The speedometer and thermostat suddenly stopped functioning, leaving me without crucial information about the vehicle's speed and temperature. This not only compromised my safety but also made it impossible to gauge the car's performance. In response to this hazardous scenario, I immediately pulled over to a stop. Sadly, the car shut off, and despite my attempts, it has refused to restart ever since. The inability to restart presents a severe safety issue and has left me stranded without transportation. Compounding this ordeal, several auto shops have tried to address the PCM/ECU connectivity issues with no success. This recurring problem, combined with the recent dangerous episode on the road, underscores the urgency for resolution. I am deeply concerned about the potential risks posed by the malfunctioning PCM/ECU and the compromised safety of both myself and others on the road. The inability to accurately monitor speed and temperature could have dire consequences if left unaddressed.

Dodge Avenger 2013
- Date Of Incident: 2024-01-15
- Date Complaint: 2024-06-10
- VIN: 1C3CDZAB1DN
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: Beginning in September 2023, my parking brake light would periodically light up even when the parking brake was not engaged. At the time, I didn't think much of it. This persisted until the middle of January 2024. Beginning in mid January 2024, my parking brake light, traction control light, and ABS light were all lit up on my dashboard. I took my vehicle into my mechanic on January 30, 2024 and they diagnosed it as an ABS internal module failure. They said they were unable to make the repair and said that I would need to take it into a Dodge dealership. I then took it to my local Dodge dealership on February 2, 2024 and they also diagnosed the problem as an ABS internal module failure. The dealership told me that the particular module needed was under "Engineer Review" at Chrysler. They said that any ABS module currently on the market for my vehicle were considered "defective" and that I would need to wait for the Engineer Review to be completed in order to receive a new, correctly working ABS module. I was told by both my regular mechanic, as well as the dealership, that my car was dangerous to drive in its current condition. I was told by both the dealership and a Dodge customer service representative that this Engineer Review would be completed in April 2024. It is now June 10, 2024 and the Review still has not been completed and I am still without a working ABS module for my vehicle. I am unwilling to put my safety, my child's safety, and the safety of other drivers at risk by continuing to drive a dangerous vehicle. Because of this, I have not been able to drive my vehicle since the beginning of February. After continuous calls and emails to Dodge, I was told the Review would be completed between 4/20/24-4/25/24. I later found out this estimated completion date was incorrect. I have been given no new timeline of when this Engineer Review is to be completed and when I will be receiving a new part.

Vehicle year: 2011
I've owned several Dodge vehicles throughout my lifetime, but I must say that this one is the best value for the money. I purchased my Mainstreet Heat Series Avenger in March of '11 and I couldn't be happier. It all started when I was at the dealership getting my Jeep serviced (a vehicle that I absolutely hated) and I saw the truck pull in with my Avenger on it. The BlackBerry Pearl color was stunning. I test drove a different color since the one I wanted wasn't even in the system yet, and I was super impressed. After thinking about it, I went back and got the one I wanted. The list of features on this vehicle seems endless, making it difficult to trade up for the price. I absolutely love the climate control. Although I was disappointed that Dodge knocked down the 2012 model, I still love my Avenger.

Vehicle year: 2000
When I first saw it, I thought it looked too sporty. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the great V6 growl and the impressive power it delivered. It can claim 170hp at about 4800rpm when the timing changes, which is quite impressive. The car handles like a sports car, yet still has enough room for four people. I also love the huge trunk, which is very practical. The only issues I have encountered are the battery light coming on twice. Additionally, when the light was on and I switched from bright to dim, the radio lost power as if the ignition was turned off. I also had a problem starting the car, as it seemed to still be in drive and wouldn't even turn over. I thought it might be the starter disabling the security system.

What a great drive! I'm so glad I traded in my 2004 Jeep Liberty Renegade for something that gets better gas mileage. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed! I get 32+ miles on the highways and 28+ in the city. The 2.7V6 gives me lots of passing power, and the stain repellent seats are worth their weight in gold. I tell everyone I talk to that the Japanese cars have got nothing on this! :)

Vehicle year: 2008
Hi there! We purchased this car brand new from Dallas Dodge in June of 2008. It was my wife's daily driver until 2017 when she bought a used Buick LaCrosse from Carmax. Since then, I have been using it as my daily driver. With 135K miles on it, this car has been very reliable overall. Of course, like most cars, there are some cons, but you just learn to live with them. One of the main cons I see is the cheap hard plastic material used in this model's interior. However, in 2011, when Fiat took over, the interior got a much-needed upgrade with way better, softer materials. The overall interior layout is great for daily driving, with nicely laid out and user-friendly controls. One of the big selling points of this model in 2008, besides its new re-design, was the heated/cooled lighted cup holders and the glove box cooler. However, I was a bit disappointed with these features. The cup holders do not allow for mega-sized cups, and the heating/cooling effects are minimal at best. The glove box cooler is a joke as it relies on the AC to cool, and the airflow is very minimal. (I now use this compartment for extra CD storage.) So basically, these features are worthless, but they were great marketing tools at the time. The 6-speed transmission shifts smoothly and is very responsive while driving, but not when engaging from park to reverse or drive...it's very abrupt and clunky. The ride is fairly comfortable, and visibility is good, except for the blind spots of the rear pillars, which takes some getting used to. I think adding an aftermarket rear camera will greatly help the driver when backing up the car. The gas mileage is decent too. This car does emit higher than normal road noise inside, but the sound system takes care of that dilemma. The Boston Acoustics sound system is decent for a factory sound system. Lastly, I absolutely love the styling of this car, both the exterior and interior design. Thanks for reading!This car is the perfect size for a daily driver. My wife even said it's the perfect size for a female driver. Sometimes people, including critics, are too quick to judge the Avenger without giving it a fair chance. It's important to remember that cars are machines and parts wear out over time. Negative feedback is often given too quickly when something goes wrong. It's all about how you drive and take care of your car that determines its longevity. Great maintenance and TLC go a long way, and my Avenger is proof of that! Even at 135K miles, it still looks and performs like new. Although its trade-in value is poor, I would say this car is a good investment for a college student or as a daily driver.

This is my first car, but I've driven a lot of different cars from compacts to heavy construction machines. I was actually looking for a sportier 2010 Mazda three, so I borrowed this one to get to the dealer and it felt just right. The pedals weren't too touchy and the steering was just right for my liking. Compared to a 2010 Mazda 3, I can actually control my speed without looking at my speedometer every second. Some might not like it because of the lack of pep, but I find the seats very comfortable. I am tall with long legs and a bad back, so the leg room is pretty fantastic for me.

I have had to replace two window regulators on the front of my car with very little use. Despite taking good care of my 4 1/2 year old car, the passenger window regulator failed after only 3 years of ownership, and the driver's side has now failed a year later. Although I will attempt to replace it myself, I will not use the windows anymore once it is done. My family and I have been loyal Chrysler customers since the 70s, owning a range of their vehicles including a 71' Barracuda, Satellite 72', a Ram charger, Dodge Daytona, Chrysler Sirius and Concord, Ram vans and trucks, and a first series Dodge Avenger (1996).

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share my experience with my Dodge. When I first bought it, I absolutely loved it! However, after driving it for a year and 8 months, I started experiencing some issues that I'm not quite sure how to fix. Sometimes, while driving down the road, my car just shuts off. It's really frustrating! I've had to have it towed once, but the mechanic couldn't find anything wrong. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, I would really appreciate any advice or insight you could offer. Thank you so much!

Last night, I experienced difficulty shifting my 2008 Avenger out of park and had to override the safe box just to get it to the Dodge House. Additionally, I have been unable to identify the source of a trunk leak. While I suspect that a small plastic piece may be the culprit, I am concerned that the Dodge House may recommend purchasing an entirely new gear box. However, I am confident in my ability to advocate for a cost-effective solution that addresses the root cause of these issues.

Let's see, where to start? Unfortunately, my car has had a few issues over the years. When it was just one month old, there was an interior water leak that took a while to diagnose. It turned out to be coming from the underbody's drainage system. It took seven visits to the dealer and two years to finally find the issue. At three years old, the car started leaking engine coolant and I was told I needed a new radiator. At four years old, the head gasket needed replacing and the power door locks stopped functioning. On top of all that, there were oil leaks in three other places! Unfortunately, after my 60,000 mile service, the car is running worse than ever and my engine light even came on. I'm hoping to get it sorted soon.
