2013 Dodge Avenger complaints

FROM THE FIRST TIME I BOUGHT THIS CAR THE BRAKES WOULD SQUEAL WHEN I WOULD BACKUP. I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DODGE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HE SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AVENGER MODELS FROM THE FACTORY. THEY TRIED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM BY CLEANING THE BRAKE PADS BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES DOWN TO THIS DAY. THE CHRYSLER COMPANY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. SO BASICALLY I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM. I GOT THE BBB INVOLVED BUT THEY COULD NOT ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING EITHER. THIS MAY NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IT IS CERTAINLY AN IRRITATION. *TR

PICKING UP CHANGE (MONEY) THE TOP BEZEL CUT FINGER. DUE TO FLAW IN PLASTIC RESULTING IN SHARP EDGE ON TOP FRONT OF PIECE.(BEZEL TRIMMING). CHRYSLER SENT A INSPECTOR OUT TWICE. INSPECTOR STATED TO ME . ALL THE VEHICLES WERE MADE LIKE THIS. DEALER REPLACE SHIFTER BEZEL TRIMMING AND STATED A FLAW IN THE PLASTIC RESULTING IN SHARP EDGE ON THE TOP FRONT OF PIECE. NEW BEZEL TRIMMING STILL SHARP. BUT NOT AS RAGGED. CHRYSLER STATED IN A LETTER DATED 10/03/2014 I RECEIVED. THE INSPECTOR FOUND NO INDICATION OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO MY FINGER BEING CUT. THIS IS NOT SAFE. IT IS BEING SWEPT UP THE RUG. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2013 DODGE AVENGER WITH THE 3.6 ENGINE AND SIX SPEED TRANNY ABOUT A WORK LATER I NOTICED ROUGH SHIFTING CLUNKING AND POPPING SOUND FROM THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND CONSTANT THUMPING AND SHUDDERING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. DEALERSHIP KEEPS SAYING IS WRONG WITH IT AND WILL NOT HELP ME. ONE YEAR LATER SAME PROBLEM STILL NO HELP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, IT TRAVELED ABNORMALLY TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT BRAKE FLUID WAS SMEARED THROUGHOUT THE FRAME AND MASTER CYLINDER.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,741.

TOLD DEALERSHIP IT WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT BUT THEY COULD NEVER SCHEDULE A TIME TO FIX IT. FINALLY TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DODGE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIX THE BACK ALIGNMENT. THEY SAID THAT DODGE HAD INCORRECTLY PUT IT TOGETHER AND THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT! THEY TOLD ME I SHOULDN'T DRIVE MY BRAND NEW CAR BECAUSE IT'S PROBABLY NOT SAFE WITH THE ANGLE IN WHICH THE WHEELS ARE! *TR

WHILE IN PARK THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION (?) KICKED BACK. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN DRIVE IT WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 10 MPH BUT THE RPM'S WERE AT 4000. IT HAS DONE THIS ABOUT 6 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT 11/2013. *TR

I BOUGHT THE 2013 DODGE AVENGER IN JAN. 2013. MARCH 2013 CAME AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD START WIPING DO TO THE OVER CAST AND SHADOWS. WHEN I TOOK IT TO DODGE THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE IT WASN'T HAPPENING THEN IN FRONT OF THEM. THEN AT 7500 MILES IN JULY 2013 MY BRAKES STARTED MAKING LOUD NOISES. AT FIRST IT WAS ONLY WHEN I BACKED UP THEN COME AUGUST IT WAS ALL THE TIME. AFTER 5 VISITS OF SCUFFING THE ROADERS UP THEY SAID IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE EVERYTHING IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM CAUSE THERE WAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS IN THE 300 MODELS, DARTS, AND AVENGERS. FIRST TRIP TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE BRAKE SYSTEM ... BRAKES, ROADERS, AND PADS...(THEY STATED THEIR WAS SCARES IN THE ROADERS AND IT SHOULDN'T OF BEEN THAT WAY WITH ONLY 7500 MILES) TO THE FRONT AND REAR . THEY ALSO STATED THEY LEFT MY ACCOUNT OPEN INCASE THAT DIDN'T WORK. HOWEVER THAT WAS A LIE THEY ONLY DID THE REAR AND THAT SAME DAY THE FRONT WAS SO BAD I COULDN'T DRIVE IT. 3 DAYS LATER THEY GOT IT BACK IN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND DID THE WHOLE FRONT SYSTEM OF THE BRAKES. THAT WORKED FOR 1 WEEK AND I'M REALLY MAD. I HAVE CALLED 17 TIMES LEFT VOICEMAILS FOR THE DEALER SHIP MANAGER AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT. MY BRAKES NOW ARE STICKING AND STILL LOUD AS EVER. THEY STILL HAVE NOT RETURNED MY CALL. I ONLY HAVE 18000. MILES ON THIS CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS IS NOT ONLY ME HAVING THIS ISSUE. HELP US BE SAFE RECALL FOR F

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEP COMING ON WHILE DRIVING WITH WARNING BELL. EVENTUALLY STAYED ON CONSTANTLY. TOOK CAR TO DODGE DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED A MODULE AI. TO MONTHS LATER, START HAVING SAME PROBLEM. TOOK IT BACK THEY CLAIM THAT THEY REPLACED THE SAME PART. FEW WEEKS LATER MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS JUMPING BACK ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE HVAC CONTROL HEAD WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I RECENTLY REPORTED MY VEHICLE ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN UP TO THE SPEED OF 82 MPH ALSO THINKING THAT THIS WAS A WEIRD OCCURRENCE THAT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I WAS WRONG. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPG GETTING READY TO ENTER A TURN MY CAR AGAIN STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, FOOT OFF THE GAS WAS NOT GOING DOWN HILL OR ANY OTHER REASON TO PICK UP SPEED. ALSO ON THIS SAME DAY I STARTED MY CAR AND MY HEADLIGHTS CAME ON AS THEY SHOULD, I NOTICED MY HIGH BEAMS ON THINKING THEY WERE LEFT ON FROM THE LAST TIME I DROVE MY CAR I TURNED THEM OFF. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE HIGH BEAMS ALL OF A SUDDEN CAME IN. I TURNED THEM OFF THINKING IT WAS STRANGE. AGAIN 2 MORE TIMES ON MY WAY HOME THE HIGH BEAMS AUTOMATICALLY CAME ON BY THEMSELVES. I BELIEVE THERE ARE SOME MAJOR COMPUTER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT AGAIN I AM SURE OF CHRYSLERS RESPONSE AHEAD OF TIME. CALLED CHRYSLER THEY JUST SAY WELL IF YOU TAKE IT TO A DEALER MAYBE THEY CAN SEE IF THERE ARE ANY CODES. PRIOR TO THIS MY SENSOR HAD GONE BAD, LIGHTS NOT WORKING ALL KINDS OF THINGS AND THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG BECAUSE THERE WERE NO CODES. TOOK TO NEW DEALER THEY USED COMMON SENSE AND NOT WAITED FOR ONLY CODES TO COME UP AND FOUND THE SENSOR WAS DEAD. THIS VEHICLE IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN! *TR

THIS AUTOMOBILE STARTED OUT MISFIRING AND USING A LOT OF GAS ,AND WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP NUMBERS OF TIMES TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED KNOW THAT IT GETTING OLDER THE PROBLEM HAS GONE FROM JUST MISFIRING TO STALLING OUT TO JERKING AT TIME TO A SMELL OF SOMETHING HOT TO THE GEARS CHANGING HARD ALSO HAVING BREAKING PROBLEMS SINCE ABOUT 14000 MILES THE GRIND REAL BAD HAD ROTORS TURNED AND STILL HAVING THAT PROBLEM TODAY HAD IT CHECKED OUT SEVERAL TIMES KNOW WE HAVE THIS PROBLEM IF WE ARE STOPPED AND TURN THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT AND TAKE YOUR FOOT OF THE BREAK IT TAKES OFF ON IT ON IT JUMPS ALL THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES WE HAVE BEEN ON SOMETHING CALLED THE STAR PROGRAM .THEY TRIED TO GIVE ME 500.00 DOLLARS FOR MY TROUBLE THEN LATER THEY TRIED TO BUY THE CAR BACK FOR MSRP. WHICH I WOULD LOST MONEY KNOW I HAVE ATTORNEY TO HANDLE THIS PROBLEM THIS CAR IS UNSAFE MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AT RISK EVERYDAY UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE. *TR

PREVIOUSLY HAD ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION, VALVE BODY REPLACED AND NOW HAVING SAME ISSUES AS BEFORE IT WAS REPAIRED APPROX. 15,000 MILES AGO. ON JULY 7TH I WAS PASSING A VEHICLE IN A PASSING LANE, ONCE I GOT PASSED THE VEHICLE AND ON TOP OF A HILL I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR ONLY TO HAVE MY CAR CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE TO THE SPEED OF 82 MPH. ON ITS OWN. MY CRUISE WAS NOT ON SO THIS COULD NOT BE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NEVER USED THE CRUISE AND WOULD NEVER HAVE IT SET OVER 82 MPH EVEN IF THAT COULD BE AN ISSUE AS I HAVE BEEN ASKED. EXTREMELY SCARY SITUATION BUT THE BRAKES DID ENGAGE WHEN APPLIED AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW TO A SAFER SPEED (WITH MY KNEES KNOCKING IN FEAR!) I HAVE NOT HAD THIS CHECKED YET KNOWING THAT THE ANSWER FROM CHRYSLER AND THE DEALER WILL BE "WE ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" OR "YOUR CAR IS JUST LEARNING HOW YOU DRIVE" (GRANTED I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW). I AM EXTREMELY NERVOUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE OR HAVE MY CHILDREN OR ANYONE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH ME. *TR

CAR BEGAN MAKING CREAKING NOISES. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE INNER TIE RODS WERE BAD AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS WAS THE THIRD CAR OF SIMILAR MAKE AND MODEL THAT DAY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. CAR UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY SO THEY WILL FIX IT ONCE I PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE BRAKES SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PRESSED TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DEFECT HAD OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THE DEALER AND THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER WAS REPLACED. THE DEFECT CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO THEN REPLACED THE ABS PUMP AND THE FRONT BRAKES. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DEFECT WAS STILL PRESENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY A CAR CUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO "JAM" ON THE BRAKES. WHEN I APPLIED THE ABNORMALLY HIGH AMOUNT OF INPUT TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN, LITTLE IF ANY EXTRA BRAKING WAS APPLIED TO THE CAR. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS ROOM IN THE OTHER LANE NEXT TO ME AND I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE LANES AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT. BUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM DID NOT ACT PROPERLY. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TWO ADDITIONAL INCIDENTS WHERE "EMERGENCY BRAKING" WAS NECESSARY. IN ALL THREE CASES THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM BRAKING FORCE (CONSIDERABLY LESS BRAKING THAN A MINIVAN I OWN). IN ADDITION, IN NONE OF THE 3 CASES DID THE ABS ENGAGE (PRESUMABLY BECAUSE THE MAXIMUM BRAKING FORCE COULD NOT BE ATTAINED!). I HAVE COMPARED THE BRAKE PEDAL FEEL TO OTHER CARS I OWN, AND OTHER NEW DODGE CARS (I RENTED A CHRYSLER 300 FOR TWO WEEKS AND A DODGE CHALLENGER FOR 2 WEEKS) AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE BRAKES ON THE AVENGER ARE VERY "SPONGY" AS IF THERE IS AIR IN THE LINES. AT LOW SPEEDS THE SOFT FEEL OF THE BRAKES IS SOMEWHAT MASKED. AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND/OR EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, THE BRAKES REQUIRE EXTRA INPUT AND PEDAL TRAVEL TO PROVIDE THE SAME AMOUNT OF BRAKING FORCE WHEN THE BRAKING FORCE SHOULD INCREASE ON THE CAR. SINCE THE INCIDENTS, I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED MY COMPLAINT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, BOOSTER, AND ABS MODULE. WHILE THE FEEL HAS IMPROVED A LITTLE, THE BRAKES ARE STILL SPONGY AND THE PEDAL TRAVEL IS EXCESSIVE WHEN T

THIS CAR HAS HAD A VIBRATION AND TRANS SHIFT PROBLEM SENSE THE DAY I PURCHASED THE CAR . FROM THERE IT HAS JUST GOTTEN WORSE . THE CAR WILL DOWN SHIFT ON IT'S OWN TO FIRST GEAR WILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS . THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIME WHICH USUALLY CAUSES THE TRANS TO FAIL. WHEN THIS VEHICLE DOWN SHIFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO EXCEED THE RPM THAT THE DASH CAN EVEN SHOW. THE TRANS HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES . BEING REBUILT TWICE AND A FULL NEW REPLACEMENT THE 3RD TIME . THE FIRST REBUILD DID NOT LAST 5 MILES FROM THE DEALER BEFORE IT FAILED . THE SECOND LAST ABOUT 4500 MILES AND FAILED. THE 3RD TRANS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOW BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAS BEEN FORCED FAR PAST WHAT THE RPMS IT SHOULD EXCEED THERE IS NOW A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE . I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO NO AVAIL IT'S STILL NOT REPAIRED I WAS TOLD THE VIBRATION WAS TIRES . DEALER REPLACED RIMS AND TIRES . PROBLEM IS TILL THERE TOOK IT IN MANY MORE TIMES WAS TOLD IT'S BAD TIRES . I HAVE REPLACES THE TIRES WITH 3 DIFFERENT SETS . PROBLEM IS TILL THERE . DEALERS HAVE TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT . WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THEY WERE DONE FIXING IT AND I WAS ON MY OWN THAT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY REPAIR THE VEHICLE AS THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM . I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND POSSES A RISK TO MY SELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER LLC THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT TO DRIVE

THE FIRST TIME I WAS COMING DOWN HWY 17 FROM WILMINGTON WHEN THE RIGHT FRONT TIE EXPLODED AND ALSO MESSED UP THE RIM. TOTAL COST TP ME 578.00. THE SECOND TIME I WAS COMING FROM MURRELL INLET, SC AND THE SAME TIRE BLEW OUT AGAIN. TOTAL COST 134.00. I HAD TOOK MY CAR IN TO GET THE SECOND TIRE FIXED AND TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THE FRONT END HAD A POPPING NOISE AND TO HAVE SOMEONE DRIVE THE CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. I PICKED THE CAR UP ON 6/3/2014 AND ASKED IF ANYONE HAD DROVE IT FOR THE NOISE. COME TO FIND OUT NOBODY TEST DROVE IT AFTER IT SAT OUT AT ADDYS FOR 7 DAYS. THE WHOLE FRONT RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.IT NOW BEEN 10 DAYS AND MY CAR IS STILL AT ADDYS WAITING ON PARTS. LOOKS LIKE TO ME SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE FOUND THIS PROBLEM WHILE IT WAS SITTING AT ADDYS FOR 7 DAYS. SERVICE MGR WAS A REAL [XXX] AND WAS YELLING IN MY SISTER FACE. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE WERE TRAVELING AT 40 MPH WHEN I NOTICED MY HUSBAND HAD NOT FASTENED HIS SEATBELT IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT. THERE WERE NO REMINDER BUZZERS ON THE DASH NOR WAS THERE A ICON ON THE DASH OF THE CAR. WE CONTACTED OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND QUESTIONED THEM ABOUT IT, THEY IN TURN CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NONE OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED IN THIS CAR! HOW IS IT THAT THIS CAR HAS NO WARNING ALARMS FOR THIS FRONT SEAT. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CAR (SXT V6) 5/2013 FROM JOE CECCONI'S IN NIAGARA FALLS, NY.. I'VE PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2008 AVENGER WITH THE 4 CYL. ENGINE AND I AM A DRIVING ENTHUSIAST. I FELT THE CAR SHIFTING ROUGHLY AND I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/12/2013 BECAUSE I WAS ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR PULLING HARD TO THE LEFT. THE TECHS ASSURED ME THAT THE CAR WAS ONLY "LEARNING HOW I DRIVE" AND I EXPLAINED THAT MY 2008 DID THE SAME THING. FOR THE PULLING, THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT. WHEN I PICKED THE CAR UP, I DROVE IT AND IT WAS ABOUT 2 WEEKS (10/31/2013) BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT BACK IN DUE TO THE SAME ISSUES; PULLING, SHAKING AND A HARD SHIFTING TRANSMISSION. THE TECH ONCE AGAIN TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT MY CAR WAS WAY OFF ALIGNMENT...EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RECENTLY SERVICED. AROUND 12/5/2013, I TOOK THE CAR BACK ONCE AGAIN AND I SPOKE TO A TECH AROUND 6PM AND HE TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER USES "SNOWMOBILE TYPE TRANSMISSIONS" AND THAT THEY WILL ALWAYS SHIFT ROUGHLY, HE EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS NO FIX. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT SERVICE MY CAR AT THAT TIME OF DAY. ON 12/11/2013 THEY DID A WHEEL ROTATION AND AN ALIGNMENT, THE CAR STOPPED PULLING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, PULLING IS VERY SLIGHT NOW, POSSIBLY DUE TO NEEDING ANOTHER ALIGNMENT NOW. I HAVE AN ISSUE WHERE I WILL ALSO BE TRAVELING IN WHAT SHOULD BE THIRD GEAR SHIFTING TO FOURTH (ATTEMPTING TO PICK UP SPEED QUICKLY, USUALLY THRUWAYS) AND THERE ARE TIMES THAT THE CAR WILL NOT

PURCHASED CAR 7/11/2013: (THE 7,000 MILES IS A GUESSTIMATE) 11/21/2013 WHILE IN WV FOR MY MOTHERS FUNERAL, PARKED IN GAS STATION, CAR RUNNING, IN PARK, L/R TURN SIGNALS STARTED FLASHING INDEPENDENTLY THEN THE FLASHERS STARTED GOING OFF, STOPPED BY THEMSELVES. THIS HAS CONTINUED, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY CODES, ALL CONNECTIONS LOOKED OK. STARTED KEEPING A LOG OF MILAGE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, STARTING ON 1/4/2014 MILEAGE 10,254 AND HAS CONTINUED TO CURRENT DATE 4/30/2014. THIS MAY HAPPEN ONLY ONCE BUT THEN AGAIN IT MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE SAME MILAGE. CAN NOT COUNT THE TIMES IT HAPPENS WHILE CAR IS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH KEYS IN THE HOUSE AND NO ONE TOUCHING THEM. I BELIEVE IT'S THE CLUSTER IN THE STEERING COLUMN. ALSO, I COULD NOT GET MY WIPERS TO SPRAY/WIPE UNTIL I TURNED THE TURN SIGNALS ON. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS HAPPEN? *JS

BOUGHT A 2013 DODGE AVENGER IN JAN 2013 WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I START HAVING "TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS".. WHEN I WOULD TAKE OFF FROM MY WORK PARKING LOT AT LUNCH MY CAR WOULD SHUTTER.. A FEW TIMES AT LUNCH IT WOULD NOT START! I CALLED DEALERSHIP ABOUT HOW STRANGE MY CAR FEELS . SEEMED LIKE IT WAS SLOW AT CHANGING GEARS AND WOULD SHIFT HARD. DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND ANY THROWN CODES AND DOESN'T FEEL ANYTHING! SO I LEAVE FRUSTRATED THAT THEY CAN NOT FEEL WHAT I AM FEELING SO I TAKE IT TO MY HOME TOWN DEALERSHIP TELL THEM ABOUT WHAT I FEEL EVERYTIME I TAKE OFF FROM A PARKING LOT. ( FEB 7TH 2013) WHAT THEY BELIEVE IS THAT MY CAR IS "TRYING RO LEARN HOW I DRIVE" THAT THEY UPDATED MY COMPUTER. THEY SENT ME ABOUT MY WAY A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN I TRY TO LEAVE WORK I HAVE TO TRY 4 TIMES WHEN STARTING MY CAR BEFORE IT FIRES OFF! I THEN GO STRAIGHT TO OUR LOCAL AUTOZONE THEY PUT A TESTER ONMY BATTERY IT SHOWS UP WEAK. THEN THEY TEST MY ALTERNATOR IT SHOWS UP BAD. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN TWO MANUFACTURE ADVISORS AND HAVESINCE BEEN TO RED RIVER FOR DIAGNOSIS YET TO GET ACCOMPLISHED!

NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING WHEN QUICKLY PICKING UP SPEED TO PASS A VEHICLE. THE STEERING PULLS FAST TO THE RIGHT AND FEELS AS THOUGH THE FRONT END IS FISH TAILING. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL. IT IS CALLED TORQUE STEER AND THAT ALL NEW VEHICLES DO THIS. TRYING TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY HARD. MINE WAS CHECKED, I WAS TOLD IT WAS BAD AND THEY DID ADJUSTMENTS AND AN ALIGNMENT AS WELL AS PUT THE BEST 2 TIRES ON THE FRONT. WITHIN 2 WEEKS MY CAR IS DOING THIS REALLY BAD AGAIN. MY STEERING FEELS LOOSE AND THE CAR IS HARD TO HANDLE AT MOST SPEEDS ABOVE 45 I FEEL AS THOUGH I AM DRIVING ON ICE AT ALL TIMES. WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS NORMAL IS BEYOND ME BUT IT SEEMS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CAN NOT CONTROL THE STEERING IN YOUR VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THERE WAS ALSO A PROBLEM SHIFTING GEARS.

THE DEALER PLANNED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE, BUT DID NOT KNOW IF THIS WOULD CORRECT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN, BUT THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,000. *TR

LIGHTS WERE IN AUTO POSITION, DROVE APPROX. 6 MILES WITH THEM ON AND RUNNING. MAD A STOP AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, WHEN I RESTARTED IT AND STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY I REALIZED MY LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER ON. HAD TO PUT THEM IN THE REGULAR ON POSITION TO RUN THEM. STOPPED THE CAR MANY TIMES, RESTARTED IT TRYING TO GET THE LIGHTS TO WORK IN AUTO BUT HAD NO LUCK. GOT HOME LET THE CAR SET 30 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR WITH THE LIGHTS IN AUTO AND THEY CAME ON FINE. WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 60MPH? SAFETY ISSUE!!! I AM VERY LEARY OF THIS CAR AND ITS SAFETY ON MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS! *TR

THE CONSUMER STATED THIS IS FALSE THAT IS NOT THE ONLY TIME THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. UPDATED 05/27/2014 *JS

THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT JUMPS A BIT WHEN GOING FROM ACCELERATING TO SLOWING TO STOPPING. FEELS LIKE A VIBRATION SLOWING DOWN. ALSO THERE HAD BEEN NOISES COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AREA. AND YOU COULD HEAR LIKE A CLICKING NOISE. THERE WAS ANOTHER DIFFERENT NOISE FROM THAT AREA AS WELL. THE NOISES ARE HARD TO DESCRIBE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AND THEY ARE BASICALLY NOT FINDING ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE CLICKING/SOUNDS ARE NOT NORMAL AND THAT VIBRATION IS NOT NORMAL REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY SAY. THE CAR DOES NOT RUN AS SMOOTH AS A BRAND NEW CAR SHOULD RUN. WILL NOT PURCHASE A DODGE AGAIN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS TO SPEED UP AND IT WAS AS THOUGH MY CAR WAS NOT RUNNING AT ALL. NOTHING HAPPENED. I COASTED TO THE END OF THE ROAD AND AT THE STOP SIGN I HIT THE GAS ONLY TO GET CHUGGING, SPITTING AND SPUTTERING SOUNDS AS THE CAR TRIED TO GO. I WAS ABLE TO GO A APPROX 1/4 OF A MILE AND PULLED INTO A PARKING AREA, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. THE CAR SEEMED FINE ALTHOUGH A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I WENT TO PASS A VEHICLE THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER AND THE CAR SMELLED AS THOUGH SOMETHING WAS BURNING. I HAD JUST FUELED THE CAR UP BEFORE THE INCIDENT. A WEEK LATER, I FILLED MY CAR UP AND ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T STALL I HAD THE SAME SITUATION WITH PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS TO PASS A VEHICLE AND NOT GETTING ANY POWER. I HAD THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE CAR WAS BOGGED DOWN IN THE MUD. VERY ALARMING FOR A NEW CAR. ALSO WHEN PASSING A VEHICLE AND GIVING IT THE GAS NOT ONLY DOES THE FRONT END OF THIS CAR LIFT UP IT IS ALMOST AS THOUGH IT FISHTAILS LIKE ON ICE IN THE FRONT END. VERY SCARY AND HARD TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHILE PASSING. *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 13V043000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 936.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A POLE HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,000. *TR

CAR WAS PURCHASED AT THE END OF OCTOBER WITH 17 MILES ON IT. VERY SHORTLY AFTER, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALERSHIP TURNED THE LIGHT OFF AND IT CAME BACK ON A DAY OR SO LATER. THEY TURNED IT OFF AND SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED THE CAR. A WHILE AFTER NOISES STARTED TO BECOME MORE PREVALENT. THE MAIN NOISE IS COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AREA. IT HAPPENS WHEN THERE ARE SHARP TURNS, BACKING AND TURNING, AND IF ITS COLD. THE NOISE IS HARD TO DESCRIBE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A THUMP/CLICKING TYPE OF NOISE. VERY ANNOYING AND SOMEWHAT ALARMING SINCE THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT IN SEVERAL MONTHS...ANOTHER NOISE IS COMING FROM A LITTLE TO THE LEFT OF STEERING COLUMN. THIS IS MORE OF A FAINT NOISE. SOUNDS LIKE SMALL CLICKING. ONE OTHER NOISE CAME FROM THE CENTER OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING JUST DROPPED. LIKE SOMETHING JUST FELL DOWN. IT WAS VERY SCARY ACTUALLY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS WORKED FOR MONTHS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THIS WAS MY FIRST PURCHASE EVER AND I AM VERY UNHAPPY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I AM NOT CONVINCED. I THINK IT IS AN ISSUE THAT HASN'T BEEN BROUGHT UP VERY MUCH YET. THE CARS ARE BRAND NEW AND PEOPLE ARE STILL BREAKING THEM IN AND SUCH. I DO NOT FEEL AS SAFE AS I HAD IN THIS CAR. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE DODGE AGAIN. *TR
