general problems of the 2012 Dodge Avenger

The dealership stated that the car tire's were check I than had to come back 2 days later because of the wheel shaking badly and making a loud noise . The dealership stated that the car had a bad wheel bearing and that they missed it . I than brought car to be fixed and was turned away because of the weather conditions which dealership was already aware of even after telling them I don't feel safe driving the car home on the rain I was still turned away and asked to come back at a convenient time for the dealers mechanics car was swerving on high way due to tire and rain and could have caused an accident.

Cadillac converter recall- when the Cadillac converter went out the car made a horrible noise and lost power to accelerate. Come to find out the pressure blew back and popped hoses of and broke the intake manifold. The flap cant open and close. Chrysler said that the intake manifold was not due to the Cadillac converter but teo auto macanica said it was. This is a $700 repair due to a recall! had been driving car around town all day. Stopped to turn and loud noise happened. Luckly coasted to blocks to house and had tow truck take to repair shop.

My 2012 Dodge Avenger caught fire under the hood while I was driving on the fwy. I could not stop the car because the brake became locked in place and I couldnt press it down with my foot. The emergency brake did not work. It was unsafe to get out of the moving car, so I was trapped in the car as the fire under the hood grew rapidly. I was able to get off at the next exit and with quick thinking, I used the curb at the end of the fwy off ramp to help me stop the car. When firefighters arrived, the entire front end of my car was fully engulfed. From my understanding, Chrysler/Dodge has had reapeated complaints regarding similar incidents.

The car would just shut off while on the freeway and would take long time to power back on. Head rest air bag deployed while driving causing to lose control of car. Windows unlocks while driving. Dealership using the same totally integrated power module that are on recall Chrysler 2000.

While driving the car started accelerating by itself and the engine reed high. Wipers come on by themselves. Seat belt light stays on even when you have it on. Battery light comes on periodically.

I was on the highway going 60 mph all of a sudden my etc light started to flash and my car started to slow down, my car would not go over 10 mph. It was very difficult for me to get in a safety lane. I almost got rear ended a few times, I was very scared. I did some research and found that this problem has been going on since the production of this vehicle. There are tons of complaints online about this vehicle, some of the vehicles have low mileage and some don't. It is a very dangerous situation to be in. I think Chrysler needs to own up and recall this throttle body!.

While driving down the interstate this vehicle's power steering and anti lock brakes stopped working and the vehicles rpms were as high as could be measured by the vehicle. This issues made it very difficult to navigate the vehicle off the roadway safely. The vehicle had to be towed to the nearest dealership and the alternator was diagnosed as the primary issue. The concern with this vehicle is that it has the same size engine and amp alternator as the Chrysler vehicles that are already under recall for alternator failure 3. 6l engine with a 160 amp alternator and the dealership repairing this vehicle states it is the same type of failure. I am concerned that this vehicles alternator should also be recalled as it poses a danger to the people driving it and any other vehicles on the road near this vehicle when this failure occurs.

I noticed several times before this date going down the hwy and the car accelerating on its own. I was at a dead stop and go on the hwy rush our I let off the brake to ease on up and my car went under into a truck doing over $7800. 00 in damages no airbags none deployed I just got my car from the shop on 8/30. I got in the car started it and backed up put the car in drive and it jolted into drive no foot on the gas peddle I had to hit my brakes again then I proceeded home. Still noticed this a couple more times. I didn't think about it at the time of the accident I was taken straight out by ems with a neckbrace. I've sit here confused for 2 months knowing how did this happen knowing it was a brake ease off and brake again traffic and the amount of damage done to the car. My 14 yr old daughter had to convince my mom I was not speeding because of the amount of damage. I will call the shop again on mon am but also Dodge or Chrysler this. I had to pay out over $4k in car rental (no I didn't know I did not hv that coverage. ) I'm now pissed off and confused at did this cause the collision? I've only had this car a year and until that point had never had an accident my fault in m life I did hv one this last week in a rental it was my fault I own up to that but not the first in the Avenger after starting it again yesterday at pickup and this immediately happening and I mean immediately happening again had the shop not already being closed for the weekend and my ride left I would have left the car at the shop. I know of the overhead airbag problems I hv tried to call once before. I will call Monday until my calls are returned please reply to this. I am also contacting my insurance agency this problem and the accident. Please contact me. Thank you toni sutherland 864-678-0876.

Will not shift into drive until speed reaches 45 - 50 mph. Can not accelerate over 4000 rpm at any time. Unable to pass other slow moving vehicles at a reasonable speed. Have taken the vehicle into the Dodge service center, explained what was happening, and was told "nothing is wrong with it because there is no sensor light on".
