The power steering has gone out in my 2013 dodger avenger, after having the pump replaced, the problem was still not fixed. Then the heat stops working, cost o fix that (supposedly the heater core) and the power steering (rack and pinion according to the local dodger dealership) is approx $2000. A quick search in the inter shows these are common problems in this year avenger. It is the way the engine was produced that year. When is there going to be a safety recall for these engines that lose power steering, like mine did, less than 6 months after bought this car.

From date of purchase brand new off the lot 2013 dodge avenger 3.6l blacktop edition. Within a few days I started noticing the car would pull to the right. I took it back to the dealership to have the alignment looked at and fixed and they said they re aligned everything and should be fine. After a week I noticed it started to pull to the right again. At that point I took it into a different shop where they actually told me that they can't re align the car based on the fact that how the cars suspension was manufactured and design is faulty to where the alignment will never be able to be corrected and there's nothing they can do. I am military and have moved 2 times since the purchase and have takin the car to several shops and have been told the same. That the alignment is as best as it can get and will always pull to the right based on the design and how it came from the factory. I've had the car for 3 yrs now and have had to buy brand new tires every year while rotating and balancing my tires every 3 months. This is a serious defect and dodge will not take ownership of the fault and has not provided any help in coming up with a solution to fix the suspensions alignment always being off.

Purchased vehicle 02/2013 six moths later noticed brake light would come on when coming to a stop going down a hill. Took in for service, told "brake sensor is too sensitive." one year later noticed when vehicle is in motion beyond 50mph engine will hesitate- feels like it will shut off. Similar situation when idling. Two years later steering makes lots of noise. None of these concerns have been addressed when brought to staff's attention at dodge dealership. Dodge requests I pay $107+ for a diagnostic test. Not happy with this purchase more so because I am mother to a three year old and expecting...I feel very unsafe in this car.
