1999 Dodge Avenger ES review from North America
"Looks good, but not worth the hassle or money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Trans-axle Sensor at 21000.
Fuel Tank Sensor at 30000.
Black gunk leaking from the door at 35000.
Speed Sensor at 51000.
Front brake caliper sticking at 61000.
Twice a pothole bent a rim, causing a flat (I believe there are some class action lawsuits in court about this).
General comments?
The car does not corner as well as expected.
Acceleration is poorer than expected.
Tires need to be replaced approx. every 30000 miles and are very expensive (though cheaper models are finally showing up on the market).
It is difficult to see out of the back of the car.
It looks great!
Poor service from a Dodge "5-star" dealer.
