general problems of the 2008 Dodge Avenger

Breaking system failed, it is available for inspection, I told the state trooper what happened along with several police officers, they agreed that the breaking system was not supposed to lock up which caused the car to skid several feet and the end results are that a very bad wreck happened which left my car undrivable and locked up, the car front disk breaks , front wheel drive,there not suppose to lock up. The air bag did go off, there was no warning sign to let you know you were going to crash, the car picked up speed even while the breaks were fully pushed to the floor when the car did not slow down this caused a wreck and totaled the front of my car resulting in the frame being severely damaged , hood push in, windshield busted, driver hit with air bag, car had to be pulled whiteout being able to be put in neutral which caused more damage to car. There was no warning until the breaks locked up and plowing into another automobile. Two other vehicles involved, could only see one , both were not moving, saw no break lights, no turn signal, this caused the driver to be injured, driver had cruse control set to speed limit 55, trooper suggested was speeding they were not and they are white not chinese.

Car keeps have the battery light come on out of nowhere and already replaced battery alternator and the cables for battery last winter which then had to be clipped because it was extremely hot and melting my cables and other wires. I have had nothing but electrical issues since I bought it the beginning of last winter something needs to be done and I shouldn’t have to keep paying for parts on faulty electrical and parts the manufacturer should and I have no recalls on my 08 Dodge Avenger how is that even possible?.

I was unable to start my car as the key would not turn in the ignition, and I could not release the break or turn my wheel. I tried for 25 minutes. I rocked the car while it was in park and the back and forward and then the key turn and I was able to drive.

I went to put my car in park and when I took my foot off the brake the car continued forward. I looked to see if I didn't put the car in park fully and the gear shift is in park however, the gear indicator says the car is still in drive.

Was driving down the highway and noticed a delayed response when pushing down on the accelerator, moments later I was unable to accelerator and the car's electronic throttle control light appeared, the car was unable to go more then 15mph. Took the car to a service station where they ran a diagnostic test and no defaults were found.

I have a 2008 Dodge Avenger that brakes are bad. The vehicle has been taken to Dodge several times for service and the brakes only last 2 months before they go out again. Fortunate for me I have not had any accidents yet with this vehicle and the braking system going out. Dodge has replaced the entire braking system and still I have this problem and refuse to believe that their is a safety issue with this particular vehicle and I have tried to contact the service manager, gm of the waldorf Dodge and Chrysler but no one has resolved this problem or even has gotten back to me on this issue. I have several receipts for parts that were replaced on the car and can provide them upon request the receipts have the part numbers on them.

During the cold, wet winter months in michigan, I began to notice that my 2008 Dodge Avenger was having trouble running when the brakes were applied. In December while exiting the expressway and coming to a stop at a light my car stalled. Now it seems every time it rains or we get a drastic change in temp when the break is applied to come to a stop, to slow down for a turn or pulling into a parking space the call will stall and all control of the vehicle is lost so to loss of power steering. It was taken to the dealership in February and kept for 3 days and the dealership could not get the vehicle to stall. No repairs were done and it continues to stall daily.

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph with the cruise control activated, the vehicle independently accelerated to 100 mph and the when brake pedal was depressed the vehicle would only decrease to 60 mph, the contact also mentioned that he shut off the vehicle but continued to accelerate. The contact had to crash into in a ditch to stop the vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The police report was filed and no injuries sustained. The vehicle was repaired and the dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The contact experienced the failure on numerous occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000. Ne.

I have had nothing but problems with my car. When I first purchased it 2 months later my shifter got stuck I was stranded at work. After that I have had various problems from the alternator, battery, and compressor going out various times and it is not even over 100,000 miles. I looked up there were recalls on the car back in 07 and 08. The dealership says that they fixed it but I feel like it was not fixed and I had the shifter problem right when I purchased that is the only thing they said they can fix.
