When at the fuel pump getting gas it overfills every time. Safety hazard has a rough idle when sitting at a stop light without a check engine light and no check engine light has come up for it. Speedometer is off door handle sticks not allowing me to close my door while I'm in it have to push the handle towards the door to get it to close. Trunk doesn't close all the way. Also when opening after it rains it leaks all over my stuff.
�tamara recall� my car has always just shut off at times when I would come to a stop my passenger side air bag stopped working. It's now got a fuel pump problems with a burnt sensor.
The first problem was the horn randomly honking which progressively got worse to the point it was blaring and would not stop when the engine was turned off. We had the horn hard wired bypassing the t. I. P. M. Randomly the throttle is unresponsive and then the car shuts down and sometimes will not restart for a while. We replaced the fuel pump and this did not resolve the problem.

Purchased my 2008 Dodge Avenger in April 2008 and have had nothing but problem after problem with it first the air bags were recalled then the latches on the doors were recalled. The tire pressure sensor light just never goes off most recently the fuel pump went on the vehicle costing me close to 700 and now the alternator which is going to cost me another 600. What kind of vehicle did Dodge build. This is some bs an all of this is while the vehicle only has about 65000 miles or less n it.
My 2008 Dodge Avenger will spill fuel at every refueling regardless if I use the locking mechanism on the fuel pump or if I fill by hand when the tank gets to full tank. It's almost like there is too much pressure built up that it spits fuel back out. This is a common occurrence with a lot of new Avengers. Just do a simple google search on "Dodge Avenger gas overflows". Dodge please issue a recall.
