1997 Dodge Avenger ES review from North America
"It is a vehicle that Dodge can't figure out how to repair"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has has to have a new battery every year since I have owned it. Two have been put in it this year.
I have had to have 4 O2 sensors put in the rear end since I have owned it.
The car had to have a new fuel pump.
The car had a gas line that was leaking gas.
General comments?
Recently I have spent almost $1000.00 dollars in repair and towing bills for this vehicle.
The car still stalls out and will not start at times.
Dodge can't fix the problem.
When I called customer service and asked for some assistance, I was told that the vehicle would of course cost a lot to repair because it was not under warranty. I would not mind reasonable repair bills if the car would run. It is sitting in my driveway, undriveable because I am scared to drive the vehicle due to the stalling and the horrible gas fumes.
