Back in 2019 on thanksgiving we had a car accident driving straight on route 17 in essex county because the wheel bearings went out to quickly we replaced them a year later it did almost did the same thing but we catch it in time are mechanic said it shouldn't have to change your wheel your wheel bearing 10 months apart we went through 3 already and it's asking me to put a date from when it happen I'll put the first time and the next two the next date it happen 9/23/2020/10/20/20 it's also doing some weird sliding in the back end of the vehicle.
Vehicle air bag light has been on for months,recently took it in for the orc recall dealer advised that's not the reason for the recall, hes had multiple other Dodge Avengers come in with the same issue. He sed me to contact Dodge and file a complaint. I did read today that 2012+ Dodge Avengers have came up with another recall that has to do with air bag light being on so I don't know what else to do beside file a complaint. Ive also had multiple other issues with this car, the braking system will skip before stopping (its really hard to explain). Ive been to 4 different mechanics jensen tires, tires plus, brakes plus, and the Dodge dealership themselves. All of them have performed a full inspection on vehicle and said everything is perfect and nothing is wrong with the car. The vehicle will stall at times going around 45-60 mph, turning at 15-20 mph and going up hill around 15 mph (Dodge says thats normal for Dodges). Car will clunk when putting it in d,r,p (Dodge says all Dodges make that same noise). Car idles rough when slowing down to stop, rolling and stopped at a stop light (Dodge says its normal for Dodge vehicles to do that when its hot outside). Im going to trying to go to another dealership for another full inspection and if they don't find these issue I will be junking this vehicle, its not safe to drive, its very hard to drive and I don't feel safe at all.
Air bag light on dealership says it has nothing to do with the orc recall that was repaired, brakes skip then pop before stopping took it to multiple mechanics to get inspected none of them could fine an issue including Dodge dealership. Front door can not be shut before back door or it will scratch back door. Oil leak from engine gasket and engine pan. Popping it steering column and shaking when going down hill. Again dealership and 4 other certified mechanics can not find any issues with the popping it the steering column and jumping and skip in the brakes before stopping. The brake issue happens at any speed and popping in the steering wheel happens mainly any slower speeds when letting go gas or brake no turning going straight.
I replaced my car with new brakes last year and I am already having to replace them again. Also, it keeps dying out. I seen on here there was a recall with the electrical system. I think the issue is still at hand. I've spent money on trying to figure out what is wrong with my car and the mechanics here in my area cannot figure it out. This car has so many issues especially due to electrical issues. Also, my car will jerk sometimes when I am at a stop light. I can't figure out what is wrong with it. I am thinking of getting another car because there is so many issues with this one.
