1998 Dodge Avenger ES review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went 4 days after I purchased the car. Dealership fixed after I complained even though the car was used and had a very limited warranty.
Had to replace the two front tires after they both popped on me on the same day. Tire place said the rims had been leaking the air. Back two tires were ready to go as well.
Driver side window rattles constantly.
A strange, black goo oozes from both doors. I have been told that this is door sealant and one of the major problems with this car.
The front end is so low that I constantly bump and scrape it.
The back end is so high up that I can barely see out the back window.
The turning radius on this car is awful.
General comments?
I love the looks of the car, but the problems with it seem a little worrisome.
Fast car for the money.
