“2008 Dodge avenger r/t. Awd. The door locking mechanism fails. The door will not stay closed nor will it lock. The Dodge dealership fixed it once for $100.00. After a few months, it happened again. Door flies open, will not stay closed. Took the car back to the dealership, now they want $211.00 to try and fix it a different way because the factory clips (required) aren't working. They hope (but will not guarantee) that this will fix the problem. Called Dodge, they will look into it, (so rudely put)! Not concerned with the door flying open. …”
