general problems of the 2014 Dodge Avenger

Just bought the car, within a month the brakes were grinding. Took it to the dealership and there was a power train leak which they replaced. A few days later, I was at an intersection turning and my wheel completely locked, causing me to hit the car in front of me and the air bags deployed. An officer happened to be on the same road and saw that my car was also smoking as well which may have been due to the previous power train leak. I looked at other recalls and sure enough, there are some on the 2011-2013 regarding steering and brake systems as well. They definitely need to check the 2014 Dodge Avenger as well for similar issues. Now the front passenger area and my axel is ruined and needs to be replaced.

Between in the middle of September til now. I purchase this vehicle on a Monday with $500 down. 2014 Dodger Avenger with 74k and bought the other$500. So in total $1000 down. And when I bought the car up to the dealership. It had to get expected, no receipt for it or nothing so I don't know what they had expected. Therefore, everything was good. I had to bring it back to dealership after I called them about the problem. I have paid two cars off and this is my worse experience I had with a vehicle I was driving. It was good while it last but the second time same thing happen first time. I would like to get my down payment back along with the notes I was paying. Thank you and god bless. This happened while car was in motion to were I would have had a little traffic behind me. Since Saturday night it's been parked and Monday 10/14/2019.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated that while reversing out of her driveway, the steering seized and the brakes were inoperable. The vehicle was restarted and the vehicle operated as intended. The contact also stated that there was an abnormal vibration in the steering. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 56,345.

I bought my car and like a month later was notified of a recall it was for the airbag , however my seatbelt would just come unlatched. I took the car in for the recall to be fixed and did mention it to the dealer. I than received the car back and I am still having the same issue. I will be driving down the road or freeway and you can hear it unlatch and comes off. It has been happening more often and no one knows why.

I wrote previously on the brakes not working resulting in accident but I can't find where to update my previous complaint so I'll add to it here. We have since learned the speed at time of accident was 21 mph, red light came on when brakes were pressed and there were no brakes. This is the 3rd time it happened. The other 2 the brakes came right back. The accident did result in the vehicle being totaled. Thank goodness no injuries but what we have since learned is the airbags did indeed deploy, thank goodness, but the driver seatbelt did not hold. When they got him out of the driver seat, the seatbelt was across him but no longer buckled. It was just laying across him, between the airbag and the driver. I did receive a occupant restraint controller notification saying there is a recall but it says they don't have a fix yet. This is beyond scary. Especially since we own two of the same vehicles. We couldn't afford to park the vehicles until a fix was made available so driving the other Avenger is very scary. I sure hope there is a remedy soon. The recall is also for the airbags which I thank my lucky stars at least they did deploy. The accident happened 11/16/2016. Photos attached.

Lightning bolt comes on traction control light flashes loosing all power 20mph top speed. Dealer has no idea brakes sqeek while backing up and have been replaced twice. Started in September then stopped now it is doing it again. Engine light comes on testing shows leak in gas cap. Replaced now it's coming on again.

Takata recall. Also I would like the brakes and or the rotors be investiagated as well. I had to have the brakes repaired 3x times since 2016 for the same reason with in 3to 4 months of each other and the rotor replaced . I saw that I am not the only one have this complaint as well as the roofing material is coming off and the car seems to be having a slight electrical issue where we lose power.

I purchase a 2014 Dodge Avenger sept of 2013. January 2014 we begin to hear grinding or constant squealing during backing up or braking. Took it back to the dealer and they stated they were waiting on the manufacture to making new parts for these brake ok, so every month I'm taking it back to the dealer and getting the same answer nothing yet. No I have to drive a least 2 1/2 hours some day for work and just this pass week, I had to push real hard on the brakes to get it to stop. And the nose is getting louder and louder and the dealer still telling me the manufacture has not sent replace for these brakes they are making new one for all these cars. In the mean time this is my only source to get back and forth to the and I am afraid those brake are going to give out while driving.
