2008 Dodge Avenger Other or unknown Problems

“The shifter is stuck in park. From my reading on the internet, a lot of people have had this same issue, and describe it as something has broken from the 'pink thing', that is causing the issue. You can press on the pink thing, and it will allow you to disengage the car from park, and allow you to drive the vehicle, so that's what I did... But it doesn't solve the issue, just lets you surpass it.”

“Catalytic converter shows as an error message and check engine light and will need likely replacement. The heater does not work on the car, likely due to the heater core. I just purchased the car and it had a recently replaced o2 sensor that was unplugged as its initial reason for the check engine light. There may be other cars with similar problems, and I wanted to report it because these are costly repairs.”

“The first problem was the horn randomly honking which progressively got worse to the point it was blaring and would not stop when the engine was turned off. We had the horn hard wired bypassing the t.I.p.m. Randomly the throttle is unresponsive and then the car shuts down and sometimes will not restart for a while. We replaced the fuel pump and this did not resolve the problem.”

“2008 Dodge Avenger stalls out when wet or cold out. Has happened so many times and my husband has almost been hit. Mechanics can't find anything wrong. Just had a sensor replaced and time up bc we sold the car and bought a new car bit a family member bought it and in afraid now I'm reading all the complaints! We want to get this fixed for her and why is there no recall???? These complaints are on so many forums help please??!”

“Brakes : I need to replace brake pads every 3 months. (I run over 1600 miles monthly) A/C : the passenger side blows freezing cold air and the drivers side blows hot. Suspension : the rear knuckle bushings fails too much.”
