Dodge Avenger Reviews

I got a Dodge Avenger. The Alternator broke down 4 x. A bunch of electrical malfunctions. I will never buy or recommend a Dodge vehicle to anyone. These electric cars are made only to break down.

Great interior space and design. It has an aggressively subtle look to it. ·Ride and Handling. Handles great in rainy and snowy conditions. It was affordable, reliable, and fun to drive. Overall though it has been pretty reliable.

My 2014 Dodge Avenger is one of the nicest, most reliable, fun to drive vehicles I've ever owned. I spend most of my day driving. I need a car that's both reliable, and enjoyable. I had a few doubts when I bought the car. But they didn't last long. After I spent the first 12 hour day in my Avenger, I knew it was the right decision. Great gas mileage (averaging 22 mpg combined highway and city, 31 highway) and a comfortable drive the entire 12 hours. I would recommend this car to anyone!

My Dad and I bought a 2014 Dodge Avenger SE from Internet Auto 2 years ago and have had nothing but problems. First it had bad rotors and then it started overheating cuz the radiator filler neck was cracked and in the process of finding out what was wrong with it the head gasket blew so the whole cooling system plus the heads were redone and that was at 95000 miles on it and then almost a year later at 111,000 the engine blew up. And a brand new engine is $5800 and I still owe $9000 for the car. I wouldn't buy another one if dodge paid me to. Very dissatisfied customer. :(

We purchased a 2014 Dodge Avenger in 2015 and it seemed like a great car. My father is a retired Chrysler employee and always said that they were great. Well, we don't even have 55k miles on it and we have a major oil leak as they did on the more expensive cars. But the dealer said it wasn't covered by the warranty, and tried to sell us an extended warranty. Since we paid cash for the car and not making payments we were told it was our issue. It was a recall issue for the other more expensive Dodges but not ours. It is a $1500 fix.

It started October 29 2018. Had appointment for oil change, was going to appointment when car making loud noise rattling and whining, transmission started to slip and then car would not go anywhere. Called dealer. Told them I had appointment for oil change and stuck on side of road. Will call tow and have sent to them. Dealer called me saying they checked it out and it was transmission tilted clogged. Would fix and do oil change. Picked it up October 31, 2018. Paid $282.00. Was happy. On December 14 2018 coming home from store transmission making same noise got louder and transmission stopped working again. Called dealer. Told them car stopped working again. Do they have tow? They said no, got another tow. Cost $110.00. Told them it’s coming their way again for same problem. They did not get to my car till Wednesday December 19 2018. They told me I need a transmission.

On November 15th, 2018, on the way to my daughter's basketball game from work, my 2013 Dodge Avenger, which I loved, starting to stutter and stall. The oil light, the check engine light, then some other weird light above the engine light came on. I pulled over on the side of the Interstate, and smoke started pouring from my hood. I jumped out of the car, and it blew up 3 minutes later, a loud pop from the engine, and my pretty Billet Silver Dodge was charred black! I had just had the oil changed and new tires 2 months prior, and was nearing another oil change when this happened. My insurance hasn't processed anything yet, and I am left with a $970 beater I picked up for cash I had to borrow!

A very forgotten part is the tipm. Or the fuse box entirety. Basically they compare it to your car being possessed. Both problems will make you want to set your car on fire. The tipm is very expensive just because they make them. There's not a lot out there and everyone who wants one it's on backorder seriously. To be worse it costs $1200 to fix. Not covered by warranty, I tried. I thought bumper to bumper meant all but I guess not.

I own a 2013 Dodge Avenger. Read a lot of crazy things about this car but there all over and I know 2 people with same car. I have the v6 and it is very nice. Just flushed fluids. Only electrical problems like rear defrost or tpms sensors I've seen. I don't think it was wired any good but the motor and transmission are pretty reliable. I say if you're thinkin about it they've never been more affordable. If you get an extended warranty I think you will be ok.

I purchased a used 2014 Dodge Avenger in 2015. Little to no problems until 2018. Small things like a clicking sound when I turn the air/heat on and off. Short in the turn signal switch which causes the overhead light to come on and off by itself. Can't adjust the dash lights because of the switch. Passenger side window quit working.

There was always something wrong with my car, even though I purchased it brand new. The dealership could never find the problem either. An axle broke on the car which caused me a lot of damage and headache. I mean it was always something! WORST CAR I EVER HAD!. I'm scared to purchase another vehicle from Dodge.

Dodge Avenger - It is a 2011 and the car is cute. Mine is black with a spoiler and I get lots of compliments on its appearance and interior. It had some significant recalls when I first bought it (first the trunk would not seal and rain would pour in; then the engine head cracked and had to be replaced). Since then, it has run very well, and I keep driving it.

Bought a 2011 Dodge Avenger from Percy Auto Sales and for the past 2 years and several hundreds of dollars I still have a heater that blows cold air. I have flushed the radiator and heat core 3x. Replaced temp sensors controls. Replaced etc. Each flush produced a lot of sand. I feel Dodge should come good for this or make it a recall. I have seen 100s of complaints regarding the same issue!!! It's a joke! I think I am changing companies on my next car purchase.

No one has ever got back with me for any complaint for this Dodge Avenger 2008 model. 2.4 Liter ES. The transmission went out at just over 100K. I went ahead and got a new one because after all was said and done, getting a different car was not going to work out for me and if I parked this one, who would want it in this shape? Now at 125,000 Miles, I have the AC heater CLICKING disease, just found a cure for it but still what the heck man, Auto Zone has been great about the alternators, I just got another one 5K ago, lifetime warranty. There is a FLAW in the brilliant idea <-- sarcasm, of having a clutch inside the pulley to supposedly save fuel, the new alternator RIGHT now is already making noise at 5K. On the plus side, determined to never let this car beat me, I can change out an Avenger alternator in just under 15 minutes. That is saying a lot since before I got this car I was only ever so often, working on lawn mowers, just if I had to.

Bought 2010 Dodge Avenger and it ran good for a couple weeks. I stopped at Tractor Supply and when I returned to car it would not crank and not start. All the lights and everything worked fine but nothing happened when you turned it to start. I had to have it towed. I looked online and found that hundreds of Avenger owners were having the same problem, but no recalls were issued. I tried everything that was suggested and nothing worked. Now I have to pay to have it taken to a dealer.

I seen so many bad review on this car. The Ford Focus I had drop valve at 80000 miles. My 2008 Dodge Avenger is a 2.7 FFV. Has over a 110000 miles. All that's been replaced is front brake pads twice, rest once, and spark plugs. Just replaced both front bearings from curb damage to right wheel. So I replaced both. This car has good acceleration, shifts great and very comfortable on interstates. Very happy with my purchase and would buy again.

I bought the car used one year ago with 91,000 kms. Since I purchased the car the front brakes had to be replaced, rotors and brake pads. On Thursday, February 16, 2017, While I was driving home, the engine suddenly lost power. The car didn't stall, it just wouldn't accelerate. I had to drive about 20 kms per hour the entire distance home. The engine appeared to want to stall as I was driving. Since I purchased this vehicle, I have only put 10,000 kms on it. When this happened two warning lights appeared in the dash. The first light was the car with the squiggly lines. This is the ESP Light or Electronic Stability Control Light or Traction Control Light. When this light comes on, it means that the car is losing traction. I did not have the ESP system turned on when this occurred.

Dodge Avenger 2012 - On November 5th 2016 I drove my car from work to home approximate distance 15 miles. As soon as I parked my car on driveway it catches fire. I got locked in the car because computer system got caught on fire. Somehow I got out. I called fire department to burn out the fire. They took little longer and my windshield explode with smoke going through A/C Vent. I will not recommend anyone to buy dodge product. I almost got killed in this incident.

I purchased my 2012 Dodge Avenger brand new in the same year. I have always liked the vehicle until out of the blue strange things have gone on and have continuously gotten worse. Brakes need to be replaced at 25k miles. Airbag lights come on at around 50k. I notice white residue all over my dash even though I constantly wipe down. I finally take it in and I'm told it will be anywhere from $1000.00 to $1500.00 to replace some module and reset airbags. Brake need to be replaced again at 52k, then again at 68k.

I purchased my Avenger 01/30/2014 and I have had several problems with the electrical and brakes. I have also experienced problems with my windows rolling down by themselves and my not being able to get it back up. When I take it to the dealer all they say is it didn't happen when we tested so there is no way for us to tell where the problem is located or coming from. I bought this car brand new with only 7 miles on it and in this past year alone I have had some many problems. I have spoken with the service manager and now I have gone further and reached out to the Attorney General Office in Georgia to assist me with this problem and I also contacted a Georgia New Lemon Law Attorney. I purchased this car in hopes of getting a good vehicle but boy was I wrong.
