1998 Dodge Avenger ES review from North America
"The car handles well and is reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Valve covers both leaked and have been replaced 2nd time in past six months.
Door hooks cracked. Door handles stick, loud movement of sunroof.
Interior lighting behind A/C and auto shifter bulbs blown.
How do you repair the lighting behind the A/C?
I saw many posts about the paint on these cars; was there some sort of recall? My rear spoiler and trunk are very badly faded, but no other parts of the car.
General comments?
Though I have had the car only two weeks, I have already taken in for having the two valve covers fixed. Second time in 6 months.
The car handles well and the interior is comfortable.
