Dodge Avenger grinding brakes problems

Filed May 11, 2021 · Brakes, Steering · 42,500 miles · CA · crash

Just bought the car, within a month the brakes were grinding. Took it to the dealership and there was a power train leak which they replaced. A few days later, I was at an intersection turning and my wheel completely locked, causing me to hit the car in front of me and the air bags deployed. An officer happened to be on the same road and saw that my car was also smoking as well which may have been due to the previous power train leak. I looked at other recalls and sure enough, there are some on the 2011-2013 regarding steering and brake systems as well. They definitely need to check the 2014 dodge avenger as well for similar issues. Now the front passenger area and my axel is ruined and needs to be replaced.

I keep having the vehicle fixed and then they keep telling me nothing else needs to be fixed with it. It keeps pullingn when I come to a stop and then decelerates while I'm driving and I have to pull over on the highway or pull off the highway and start the car again. No lights come on there's oil in the car I just had an oil change I just had to brake pads fixed even though the brakes keep squeaking the rotors are new xcetera. This isn't the first time it has decelerated I had to have a part replaced a couple years ago because it was doing the same thing. Trying to figure out if there's any recalls on the car in order to get those recalls fixed. It did the same thing last year and when I took it in they fixed another part. It's never the same part that the mechanics fix and say is causing the problem.

The airbag light keeps going on and off. A few times I would undo my seatbelt and then secure it again and it would go off. But it comes back on again. Brakes: I have had all 4 brakes replaced and my brakes still squeak and they grind. Ive had this done twice and it does not fix the issue. It makes a rattling sound when going uphill. And squeeks and grinds when coming to a stop. This has been going on for months.

Passenger side air vents do not blow heat while driver side vents will blow heat. Also, while the heat met is on and driving combining to a stop the heater makes a grinding noise and bubbling sound. I have heard this is a common issue that dodge refuses to acknowledge to fix. This needs to go on review for a recall

I got my front breaks done with aftermarket brake pads and rotors weird grinding squealing sound the place told me it was my transmission probably. I took it to the dealer for a diagnostic, and they said it was after market parts causing the noise and recommended that I get factory parts put on the car. I went back to jiffy lube, the original people who placed the aftermarket parts on and when they replaced everythin with factory parts, the noise still occured. I took it back to dodge, informing them that their diagnostic that was recommended was handled and the noise still occurs. They, came back with the same answer "your front brakes". How is it that you diagnose my car and tell me it's one thing, and when I get that one thing fixed, it's still the same issue? At this point, I am convinced it's not jiffy lube, but dodge not doing proper diagnostics because I also complained about my car jumping when I break and it takes long to shift into gear. They didn't even diagnose that and when I complained, they said everything was fine with my transmission. I own a 2014 dodge avenger and I got it from folsom lake dodge.
