THE HEADRESTS IN MY DODGE AVENGER HAVE POPPED FORWARD SEVERAL TIMES. SOMETIMES THEY WOULD POP FORWARD MERELY FROM THE HEAT, AS I LIVE IN A VERY HOT AREA. I HAD THE ORC REPLACED AS PART OF SAFETY RECALL S61, HOWEVER THE VEHICLES SAFETY IS REDUCED BECAUSE THE HEADRESTS WILL NOT STAY LOCKED IN DUE TO BROKEN PLASTIC LOCKS WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO HOLD IT BACK. APPARENTLY THE HEADRESTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS. THE CAR IS UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE, AND IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, THE HEADRESTS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEPLOY SINCE THEY ARE NOW PERMANENTLY DEPLOYED. I THOUGHT THE HEADRESTS WERE ALREADY COVERED BY THE PREVIOUS RECALL, WHICH IS WHY I AM FILING NOW.

NO HEAT IN CAR AT ALL. REPLACED ACTUATORS, HEAT/AC CONTROL MODULE, FLUSHED HEATER CORE AND EVEN TOOK TO MECHANIC AND NO FIX. THIS IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. DODGE NEEDS TO GET THEIR CRAP TOGETHER AND ADDRESS THIS. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER POS DODGE AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SISTER WAS DRIVING 55 MPH, SHE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT IT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

MY ISSUE IS WITH MY THROTTLE BODY. THIS WILL BE THE 4TH TIME IT'S BEING FIXED BETWEEN ME AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER 2 JUST FOR ME. THERE HAS BEEN TWO CASES WHERE I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AND ALL THE SUDDEN I LOSE ALL ACCELERATION. MY GAS PEDAL GOES RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND IT DOES NOTHING. THEN ONCE I STOPPED IT IDLES REALLY ROUGH. I'VE GONE THROUGH TWO THROTTLE BODY'S IN A 9 MONTH PERIOD AND I FEEL IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY TO SURVIVE. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS 7/2/2019 I WAS DRIVING AND WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY CAR STARTS THE ROUGH IDLING AND WHEN I HIT THE GAS IT WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR WHICH THEN HINDERED TRAFFIC AND ALMOST GOT HIT. THE FORST TIME IT HAPPENS TO ME LIKE I SAID I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET STARTING A DECENT DOWNHILL AND WHEN I GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF HILL MY PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. THAT'S SCARY SITUATION ESPECIALLY LET'S SAY CROSSING A STREET THE HAS CROSS TRAFFIC THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO STOP AND ALL THE SUDDEN YOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND CAN'T MOVE. I'M ALWAYS IN FEAR IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

2013 DODGE AVENGER 3.6L WILL NEED TO PLACED ON SAFETY RECALL P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 THE ALTERNATOR IS ALLOWING CURRENT BACK TO THE BATTERY. THE BATTERY IS COOKING AND THE ALTERNATOR IS SMOKING. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND DESTROYED THE BATTERY. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED I PUT IN A NEW BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR STARTED SMOKING AND THE NEW BATTERY BECAME VERY HOT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF, WE DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE BATTERY TO EXPLODE AND COULD HAVE BEEN A FIRE IF I DID NOT REMOVE THE BATTERY AND THE NEW BATTERY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE HEADREST BEEPED AND THE HEADREST INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

I HAVE TODAY OWNED THIS USED 2013 DODGE AVENGER AND THERE ARE 3 PROBLEMS THAT MAKE ME CRINGE. FIRST SOMEHOW THE BACK BUSHINGS ARE DONE ON THE CONTROL ARM, IT MAKES A VERY LOUD NOISE OVER BUMPS. SECOND THE AC IS LEAKING AND NOW HAVE TO TAKE IT TO DODGE BECAUSE THEY MAKE IT SO I CANT DO IT MYSELF AND WANT ME TO PAY 1000 BECAUSE ITS A NAME YOUR PRICE KINDA THING, JERKS. LASTLY AFTER ONLY 6 YEARS I HAVE RUST EVERYWHERE. I WASH MY CAR EVERY 2 WEEKS BUT DODGE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO USE THE CHEAPEST METAL TO BUILD THEIR CARS. NEVER GONNA BUY A DODGE AGAIN, THEY MAKE AMERICA LOOK BAD WITH THE GARBAGE IT PUTS OUT, HOW CAN ANYBODY TAKE PRIDE IN THE CAR THEY OWN IF ITS CRAP.

MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIEND WAS DRIVING ON REGULAR CITY ROADWAY, GOING ABOUT 35-40 MPH, WHEN THE PASSENGER HEADREST DEPLOYED. THEY WERE NOT IN AN ACCIDENT OR HIT ANYTHING ON THE ROAD, THE HEADREST DEPLOYED UNEXPECTEDLY.

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH. VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION AT THE TIME, NOR AT ANYTIME PRIOR. HEADREST STRUCK PASSENGER WITH SUCH FORCE AS TO CAUSE WHIPLASH.

ENGINE LOCKED UP WHILE MAKING A TURN AROUND ON BUSY HIGHWAY. MADE COMPLETE CAR'S STEERING TO BE LOCKED UP. LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND OTHER CAR DID NOT SLAM INTO ME. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM ON THIS VERY CAR, HOWEVER MY VIN WAS NOT IN THE LOT OF CARS FOR THIS RECALL. MANAGED TO MOVE OVER SOMEWHAT, BY THE TIME I HAD TOW TRUCK MEET ME (WITHIN THE HOUR) POLICE HAD CAR TOWED. THIS WAS 4 WEEKS AFTER PAYING 1400.00 IN REPAIRS ON OTHER CAR PARTS. 3 SEPARATE TIMES, CAR STALLED, WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY HIGHWAY D/T GAS GAUGE STATING HAD GAS AND REALLY DID NOT. RECALL FOR 2009 AVENGER FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT 2013.

THE RED LIGHTENING BOLT APPEARS AND THE CAR LOSES NEARLY ALL ENGINE POWER....I READ ON THE INTERNET TO:1} TURN ON IGNITION(NOT ENGINE)...2}PRESS ACCELERATOR PEDAL SLOWLY TO THE FLOOR, THEN ALLOW THE PEDAL TO RETURN(SLOWLY)..3} TURN IGNITION OFF----4{START THE CAR... I HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP THE CAR AND GO THRU THE INSTRUCTIONS.....IT ALWAYS STARTS AND RUNS FOR A HALF A DAY OR SO, BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN!(I GUESS I HAVE TO KEEP RESETTING THE THROTTLE SENSOR)!....THIS HAPPENS AT 10 MPH AND OR 60 MPH

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE AVENGER SXT ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HEARD A POP. AND THEN I FELT ALL THIS AIR BUT ALL WINDOWS WAS UP. I PULL MY SUNROOF COVER BACK AND LOOK AND MY SUNROOF EXPLODED.GLASS EVERYWHERE. MY SUNROOF WAS NOT OPEN AND IT WAS NOT IN THE VENT OPEN OPTION EITHER. IT WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED WHEN THIS HAPPENED ON APRIL 29,2019 AROUND 10:45 AM IN THE MORNING.

FAULTY TIPM. I WAS IN MOTION DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET. I HAD MY CELLPHONE CHARGING IN THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER PORT AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AT THE SAME TIME. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED FREEZING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WINDOW UNTIL I UNPLUGGED MY PHONE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO STOP. IT EVEN DOES IT WHEN I TURN ON THE AIR CONDITION. SOMETIMES WHEN I PUSH THE LOCK BUTTON ON MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR, ALL 4 DOORS WILL LOCK. BTW, I KNOW IT'S NOT THE BATTERY BECAUSE, I JUST HAD A BRAND NEW ONE INSTALLED 1 MONTH AGO.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET THE HOOD FLEW UP INTO THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT DOWN. ONCE PARKED, I PULLED THE LATCH INSIDE THE CAR TO POP THE HOOD. WHEN I LIFTED, IT CAME STRAIGHT UP. NORMALLY I WOULD HAVE TO PRESS THE PIECE TO RELEASE THE HOOD THE REST OF THE WAY. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE LATCH AND NOW MY HOOD IS BENT.

I FEEL HEAT COMING FROM THE VENT NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE MIDDLE VENTS ALONG WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW VENT ONLY BLOWS ALMOST A/C COOL AIR ALL THE TIME.

STARTED THE CAR ONE DAY AND SUDDENLY THE CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ACTIVE RESTRAINT HEADREST SYSTEM WAS BROKEN. NO DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE TO THE SEAT/HEADREST NOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN USED UNUSUALLY AND IT HASN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVER SIDE BLOWS LIKE WARM HEAT, PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS FREEZING COLD AIR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THREE DIFFERENT DODGE TECHNICIANS AND THEY SAID THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE BETWEEN 2010 AND 2015 DODGE AVENGERS AND ALL DODGE VANS. SOMETIMES REPLACING THE HEATER CORE WILL FIX IT SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT. SOMETIMES REPLACING BOTH THERMOSTATS FIXES IT AND SOMETIMES NOT. SOMETIMES REPLACING BOTH BLENDER DOOR ACTUATORS FIXES IT SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. SOMETIMES REPLACING THE WATER PUMP FIXES IT AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED ALL OF THOSE THINGS AND IT STILL DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS RIDICULOUS! THIS IS THE FIRST DODGE I HAVE EVER OWNED AND IT ABSOLUTELY WILL BE THE LAST DODGE I WILL EVER OWN!

THE ACTUATOR BEHIND GLOVE BOX BEGAN TICKING. I REPLACED IT 3 TIMES. I HAVE NOW RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS IS A KNOWN HEATER CORE ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT HAS A SPLIT CORE SYSTEM. THE HEAT OR DEFROST DOES NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS. THE COST TO FIX IS AN AVERAGE OF $1100. BUT THIS FIX ONLY WORKS FOR AN AVERAGE OF 1 YEAR AND THEN IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. IT IS MOST DEFINITELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT THE DEFROST DOES NOT WORK. WINDSHIELD IS OBSTRUCTED ON ONE SIDE. WILL DODGE DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM OF SOME SORT. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 89K MILES ON IT. I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP TO COME IN AND PAY $150 FOR DIAGNOSTICS THEN IF IT WAS A CORE PROBLEM IT WOULD BE AROUND $1200 BUT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL I PAID THE $150. WHEN I COMPLAINED THAT IT APPEARED TO BE A DODGE ISSUE ON AVENGERS THE TECH SAID "GOOD LUCK WITH THAT" AND HUNG UP.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE MY CAR STARTED TO EMIT BLACK SMOKE FROM THE HOOD, I PULLED OCER TO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER TO INSPECT THE SMOKE WHEN I GOT OUT THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD I CALLED 911 IMMEDIATELY. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ABNORMAL GUAGE READINGS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE FIRE STARTED SPONTANEOUSLY AND IVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR BEFORE ITS ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY RELIABLE. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS.

THE HEATER CORE IS COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHICH IS A WELL KNOWN AND WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND OTHER MOPAR MAKES/MODELS. DODGE HAS ADMITTED ITS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT BUT WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOT ONLY IS IT FREEZING IN MY CAR BUT THE WINDSHIELD WONT DEFROST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FRONT AND SIDE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS. THE VISIBILITY IS TERRIBLE AND IS LIKELY TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

RECALL WAS REPLACED FOR SEAT BELT RESTRAINT CONTROL FOR DRIVER BUT LIGHT STILL REMAINED ON AFTER THE RECALL PART WAS REPAIRED, PASSENGER SEAT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER MAY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF. A FEW TIMES I WOULD UNDO MY SEATBELT AND THEN SECURE IT AGAIN AND IT WOULD GO OFF. BUT IT COMES BACK ON AGAIN. BRAKES: I HAVE HAD ALL 4 BRAKES REPLACED AND MY BRAKES STILL SQUEAK AND THEY GRIND. IVE HAD THIS DONE TWICE AND IT DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IT MAKES A RATTLING SOUND WHEN GOING UPHILL. AND SQUEEKS AND GRINDS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS.

HEATER BLOWS AIR DRIVER SIDE BUT COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE WHEN HEAT IS ON. HEATER CORE BLOCKAGE. ALSO HAVE A CLICKING NOISE FROM THE ACTUATOR BEHIND THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT

MY CAR HAS LOST ALL HEAT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM LIVING IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN WHERE WE HAVE WINTER FOR 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. I RECENTLY FIXED THE DOOR ACTUATOR BECAUSE OF THE CLICKING AND THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE HEAT PROBLEM AS WELL SINCE THEY SEEMED TO START AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME. THIS DID NOT FIX THE HEAT ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH NO ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM. MANY HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RETURN AFTER A SHORT TIME. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN AVENGER ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY CHRYSLER. AS THE DRIVER, I AM WARM, WHILE MY CHILDREN ARE FREEZING.

GAS IS RUNNING OUT FAST. SMELL OF GAS HEAVY

THE ELECTRONIC THRODAL SYSTEM . MY CAR JUST TURN OFF ON MY FOR NO REASON IT HAS HAPPENED 3X ON THE FREEWAY /5 TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND 3XS WHILE I HAVE BEEN PARKED.. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN 3 ACCIDENTS ON THE FEET DUE TO THIS PROBLEM .THE CAR WILL JUST SHUT OFF AND 15 TO 30 MINUTES LATER START BACK UP . I LOOKED UP AND IT SAID THAT IT WAS A RECALL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE . IT HAPPENED TODAY 2/19/19 AND I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED . I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR A YEAR AND 3MONTHS

THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT IN MY 2013 DODGER AVENGER, AFTER HAVING THE PUMP REPLACED, THE PROBLEM WAS STILL NOT FIXED. THEN THE HEAT STOPS WORKING, COST O FIX THAT (SUPPOSEDLY THE HEATER CORE) AND THE POWER STEERING (RACK AND PINION ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL DODGER DEALERSHIP) IS APPROX $2000. A QUICK SEARCH IN THE INTER SHOWS THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS IN THIS YEAR AVENGER. IT IS THE WAY THE ENGINE WAS PRODUCED THAT YEAR. WHEN IS THERE GOING TO BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THESE ENGINES THAT LOSE POWER STEERING, LIKE MINE DID, LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER BOUGHT THIS CAR.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING ON STOPS

MY FRONT PASSENGERS HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT BEING IN A ACCIDENT. NOT REALLY SURE ON THE DATE, SOMETIME IN 2017. I REPORTED IT TO MY CAR DEALER ON 8/17/17. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER MANY TIMES. THEY FINALLY OKAYED FIRE BOSCH CRASH DATA RETRIEAL TOOL WHICH WAS DONE ON 10/22/18 AT 2:30 PM AT BILL BRYAN IN THE PARKING LOT. IT SHOWED NO ACCIDENTS. I WAS TOLD THAT AN EMAIL WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE SERVICE MANGER, WHICH HE SAID HE DIDN'T RECEIVE. I HAVE CALLED MANY TIMES AND KEEP GETTING THE RUNAROUND . I WASN'T IN THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED. MY COMPLAINT #51413030. WOLBERT J WAS THE ONE WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO SEND OUT THE EMAIL TO REPACE IT.

TAKATA RECALL, THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF IT MAINLY STAYS ON, SOMETIMES THE SEAT BELT IF PUT ON AT A RIGHT TIME THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL STAY OFF BUT ONLY FOR A FEW MINUTES.

I HAD JUST PULLED OUT INTO THE ROAD AND WHILE ACCELERATING I HEARD A NOISE SOUNDING LIKE A SPRING UNDER PRESSURE UNCOILING. WE WERE GOING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH.

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE THUS NO DEFROST WHEN FOGGING

STARTED WITH NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, AND NOW I HAVE JUST WARM AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS ISSUE IS CAUSING A VISIBILITY AND SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT DEFROST. I HAVE SEEN THIS SAME ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG LIGHT WON'T GO OFF I'M AFRAID THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY

WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, 2 NIGHTS IN A ROW, THE CAR JUST STOPS. I AM PRESSING ON THE GAS BUT IT STOPS AS IF I'M NOT ACCELERATING. I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX 45 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT HAPPENED A HANDFUL OF TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG BECAUSE IT WASN'T DOING IT RIGHT AT THAT TIME. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT HAD THE SAME KIND OF CAR AND ACTUALLY GOT A RID OF IT THROUGH THE LEMON LAW BECAUSE IT DID THE SAME THING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR JUST STOPS AND THE WAY I GO TO WORK THERE IS RARELY SOMEWHERE TO PULL OVER LEAVING ME SITTING IN MOVING TRAFFIC BUT I'M NOT MOVING. THERE IS NO CORRELATION REGARDING THE SPEED OR THE TYPE OF ROAD I AM TRAVELING. IT JUST HAPPENED TO BE THIS TIME THAT IT WAS APPROX THE SAME SPEED AND SAME ROAD. WE KEEP ALL OF OUR MAINTENANCE UP ON OUR VEHICLES. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP US AS FOR I AM NOT IN THE POSITION TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE RIGHT NOW NOT TO MENTION THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT I DRIVE MY 21 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AROUND IN THIS CAR AT TIMES. ** PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INFORMATION GIVEN BELOW IS THE APPROX CURRENT MILEAGE AND THE DATE THAT THIS MOST RECENTLY OCCURRED. AS I MENTIONED BEFORE IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, WHEN IT WAS MUCH NEWER, LESS MILES, DIFFERENT SPEED, ETC.

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE AVENGER, GIVEN TO ME AS A GIFT MAY 2013. THE CAR WAS ONLY ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD(10/13/2017) AND I STARTED HEARING A STRANGE CLICKING SOUND, COMING FROM UNDER THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. SOMETIMES THE HEAT/ AC WOULDN'T KICK ON FOR A FEW MINUTES. IT ENDED UP BEING THE MODE DOOR ACTUATOR,IT COST ME OVER $ 400 ,I ALSO NEEDED FRONT PADS AND ROTORS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 18,000 MILES ON IT. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE HOOD OF THE CAR REPLACED (SEPT. 5,2017) BECAUSE THE PAINT STARTED PEELING, THIS AT LEAST WAS COVERED BY DODGE , BECAUSE THEY SAID MINE WAS NOT THE ONLY VEHICLE TO HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE, NOT BECAUSE OF THE WARRANTY. NOW I JUST HAD ALL 4 TIRES, AND BRAKES DONE , BETWEEN 7/2018 AND 11/2018. THE CAR ONLY HAD ABOUT 22,000 MILES. HERE WE ARE IN DECEMBER OF 2018, I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE CONTROL ,$360.00, AND NOW I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER, 28 ,2018, TO GET THE AXLE SEAL, RIGHT SIDE, AND THE TRANSAXLE OIL COOLER PIPES, INLET AND RETURN REPLACED , COST $164.20, AND $364.29 RESPECTIVELY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 24,241 MILES ON IT, I HAVE ALL THE OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION RECORDS, ALL IS UP TO DATE AND WERE ALWAYS DONE ROUTINELY. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AND AM FRUSTRATED WITH THESE ISSUES. I HAVE ALSO READ UP ON OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM AVENGER OWNERS. DODGE NEEDS TO RESPOND TO THESE PROBLEMS. I AM VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS GIFT AND THE FACT THAT I ALL SEEM TO BE DOING IS SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY DEALING WITH ONE THING AFTER THE NEXT.
