Engine Belts And Pulleys Problems of Dodge Avenger

My seatbelts will unlatch whenever it feels like it, the seatbelts won't go in by themselves anymore, amd this all happened after we fixed the recall. Then all in a year the throttle body quit working, the alternator stopped working, it will not keep a charge, and sometimes when your driving for no reason at all the inside lights will dim and brighten. This all happens while in motion except the battery constantly dying even though the alternator and battery are new.

My Dodge Avenger has the same problem that everyone else's car has with a 3. 6l vvt in the car, the engine oil cooler cracks, and sprays oil everywhere, the problem is that if it isn't caught the oil get all over the place and causes belts to smoke because the oil and antifreeze are leaking from the oil cooler. Considering that this is a common problem with these motors, this needs to be investigated, so the oil cooler can be recalled, so Dodge will fix this problem!! it is dangerous especially if you're in the middle of a trip and it decides to crack while you're doing 70 mph down the freeway and all the oil and antifreeze blows out the car. And you don't even know where the problem is until the car is stopped and you get it towed home, you check all the fluids and refill them then you come outside the next morning and you see the big leak from the oil all on the ground and you have to have them tear the car apart because there is oil all over the place under the hood.

I own a 08 Dodge Avenger and had problems with the electronic throttle control system a year ago,I now have problems with a noise under the hood,I've been told it's the pulley to the alternator. I bought my car brand new. . If I knew I was going to have this much trouble I would of bought a foreign car. Also my sensor in my tire broke,took my car where I bought the tires,they replaced one sensor for free. . I don't know if the other 3 will later break. I would like to get the other 3 replaced for free.

Once it cuts off if I sit and a couple minutes the car may start back driving like nothing happen. . . Usually. I sit for 30 minites before it start up. . I have taken it tp mechanica and its something with the electrical system no codes are coming up when I went to place it on a machine. . One mechanic said it my be the ignition not connecting . . Can this be investigated because this car is doing things on its own the horn will go off when im parking driving and the fuse was checked.

"takata recall " recent and ongoing problem with my 08 Dodge Avenger is the airbag light has been coming on randomly, from start up and while driving. Airbag has never deployed or no injuries to vehicle, has been on and off since last year. Oil pressure light was also on, got the oil pressure sensor replaced, would start off from start up and would come on and off consteadly. Front driversseatbelt also stopped retracting have recently had that changed as well. The tpms light has been on for about 2 years now, turns on at start up and stays on while driving. The engine light has also been on for awhile now too, from start up and while driving, just stays on, since a few months of vehicle purchase, was actually still making payments when I took it in for service for the engine light, came off and back on 2 months later, been struggling with it every since. Just have learned to live with the engine light on and tpms light on as well. Have had to change the alternator 3 times on this car already too. My car drives fine now, don't want to just keep ignoring the problem, would really like that fixed.

Horrible whining noise from under hood. . . . Drive belt area.

Pulley making loud noise and alternator have whine noise like it about to start a fire.

Multiple problems with this car since purchase. Unknown engine failure problem (dealership was unable to pinpoint problem), transmission sensors failed, rotors replaced 8 times in 4 years, black tar coming from doors, numerous alignment problems, and the big problem - the seat belt buckles keep failing. Passenger side replaced by dealership under warranty. Driver side now failing as well. Huge safety hazard! dealership says "car not under warranty".

Consumer was accelerating up to 45 mph speed limit when all drivetrain capability and forward motion was lost. Vehicle currently at a Dodge dealership, and they informed consumer that transmission has to be rebuilt because no transmissions were available for 1996 model. This will cost consumer $2200. 00. Burning rubber smell was detected after the vehicle was taken for fluid change at the dealer. Belts and the tensioners were replaced but the rubber smell still cintinued. Later on, the transmission failed.

Problem 1: since July '98, I have observed (smelled) noxious fumes -not your typical sulphuric rotten egg smell-when I accelerate,usually above 40mph. The smell is outside the car,but in summer and warm months it's quite overpowering with the windows down. I have taken it in at least 3 times for this problem, the service dept. Says they can't do anything about it-it's "normal"-I understand some sulphuric smell, but this is not "acceptable" or "normal"! they are basically telling me to deal with it, but they aren't the ones who have to drive the car every day and have the fumes overpower them whenever they put down the windows. Problem 2: my passenger side seat belt restraint locks and won't unlock until you disengage it from the latch. It was found to be a problem when I first bought the car, and was supposedly replaced with a whole new assembly. However, the problem persists. Once again, I feel unable to get the dealerships to respond to my inquiries. Helpless, if you may. . . . The belt continues to lock, and I'm afraid in the future it could lead to a serious injury to anyone in the passenger seat if I have to come to an abrupt stop. Please tell me if you can help me. I am currently writing to Chrysler's customer center with my complaint.

Back of rear passenger's side seat does not latch properly. Also tensioner pulley failed, causing timing belt to break/ehicle idles rough and a sulphur smell eminates from engine.

Belt tensioner pulley and belt failed.
