Has stall &surge issues especially in wet weather
Love driving this car, Iām the original owner and now my son has it. However Iām still trying to find the solution to the surge & stall esp in wet weather repair. Since 2008 until 2019 I still do not see a recall or solution to this popular issue. Also the truck deck lid has to be opened slowly if wet or snow or will dump into truck vs the channel.

I Loved This Car
My Avenger was an R/T with navigation. It did chew up bearings, but nonetheless fabulous car! So comfortable, so fast, so good looking. I miss my Dodge. Best dealer. Danbury Dodge. Harry. Great Service Department. Had 125k miles on car.

Makes a nice commuter car
We bought this to use as a every day driver and to haul out fur babies in . Nice front wheel drive that is easy on gas and handles really nice. You do sit a little low are the steering wheel is not to high even when adjusted to the highest level

Too many quirks
The battery is in the worst place to access and many small shops won't replace it (walmart, valvoline, etc...) because of the location. UNDER THE WHEEL WELL! It has random electrical issues that stall the car at red lights or stop signs when it rains and there is no diagnostic that can find it. You're driving this car on God's good graces basically. All in all I'd say it performs well, when it works. I've spent way more repairing it than what its worth.

Still Going Strong!!
I?ve had this vehicle for over nine years. It has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance. I?ve never had a major issue with it. As a matter of fact, it?s so reliable that I purchased another one! I really wish Dodge had not discontinued the model.
