Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) Problems of Dodge Avenger

The oil filter housing in the 3. 6l pentastar v6 is a notorious design flaw that has affected thousands of consumers across the globe in vehicles such as the Dodge Avenger, Dodge charger, Chrysler town and country, and Jeep grand cherokee. Online resources regarding this flaw are not hard to find. All it requires is a simple search on google to find the hundreds of reviews and postings of similar situations regarding the oil filter housing by owners of vehicles using the 3. 6l pentastar v6. The sheer number and frequency of this problem reinforces the legitimacy and credibility of this complaint. This design flaw however, is not only specific to the weakness of the plastic connecting cap on the oil filter housing (which is prone to chipping and cracking) but in the placement of this weak part deep within the engine � requiring mandatory professional maintenance to be administered. This oil filter housing is effectively a ticking time-bomb within all 3. 6l pentastar v6 engines which sadly awaits all consumers. Not only is this an inconvenience for consumers � having to pay dealerships $600+ to have the part replaced, but a major safety concern on many levels. A few examples are: (1) the leaking of oil caused by the inevitable cracking of the oil filter housing causes the engine to reach dangerous levels of heat and degrade at a much faster rate. (2) exposed oil resting on the engine near the housing may ignite causing an engine fire. (3) more specific to my situation, the loss of oil may occur while driving in mountainous terrain � where the responsiveness of your engine may be directly correlated to your chances of survival. It is unfathomable to think that after the many thousands of similar instances consumers have faced regarding the flawed part, that a recall has not been put into place. Especially when the flaw poses such an incredible safety hazard.

On December 10, 2016, I took my 2014 Dodge Avenger in for diagnosis/repair because the engine was stalling/shutting off when stopped or getting ready to stop. Nothing was found. On December 13, 2016;my vehicle shut down twice while driving 45 mph coming very close to getting hit in the rear of the vehicle. I was told that the tipm (totally integrated power module) needed replacement. My vehicle is still under warranty, thankfully! ! this part has a 2-year warranty only! once told of the tipm issue, I went online and researched this part. I saw many models had the same problem and that Chrysler had settled a lawsuit over thousands/millions of 2007-2014 Chrysler vehicles with defective tipm's. Just last week I saw a Dodge charger on the side of the road and wonder if this was the same issue as mine. At this point, I can't refer anyone to buy any Chrysler vehicle. . . . . Such a shame because I really love my car, but after this ordeal, I'm paranoid wondering what else will go wrong!!.

Tl the contact owns a 2008 Dodge Avenger. While driving 30 mph, the engine seized. On other occasions, the vehicle spontaneously accelerated and then dragged. Also, the driver's seat belt detached without warning and the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the thermostat, clockspring, ecm manifold, throttle body, starter, battery, air fan, integrated power module, air conditioner, compressor, intake runner, steering wheel, and engine needed to be repaired. The vehicle was taken to brockton Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram (241020 belmont st, brockton, MA 02301, (781) 961-1550), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was 36,000. The VIN was invalid.

I recently purchased a 2008 Avenger with the 2. 4l vvt 4cylinder and traded in my 2001 dakota with a 4. 7l v8 magnum for it. I regret it. I would have don't better off buying a Ford. Yes, this car gets good highway gas mileage but it has caused nothing but headaches beyond that point. If I drive around town it sucks the gas like no tomorrow. The rpm's are way to high. The car shifts around 3,000 or higher rpm's whether it is warm or cold. When the shifts, it is not smooth. There hard shifts. My fiance's 1999 durango with 135,000 miles on it shifts better than this car does. Randomly the car will die when I come to a complete stop for a stop light/sign. There was one occasion where I was driving down one of the busiest roads in our town and it died while I was doing about 40mph. Before it dies, it shakes real bad for about 3 seconds then I lose everything. The drivers side rear door handle will not move. It is like it is frozen in place. The handle will not pull out at all. It will open just fine from the inside but I can't do anything from standing outside the car. My doors squeak when I open and close them. Whenever I turn the wheel the car groans at me. I've taken it to my local dealer about 3 times. When I told them about the shifting, rpm's, and randomly dying they just said they couldn't get it to act up. Finally, two other new Avengers came into their service department with the same problems. Now they tell me they will look into it. My 2001 dakota with 142,000 miles never gave me this much trouble the entire time I owned it. I had it a little over 2 years and put around 50,000 miles on it and only changed the oil and did a tune up.
