This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Vehicle hit a tree head-on at about 35 mph (est.). neither the driver side nor the passenger side airbag deployed. Passenger's head struck and shattered windshield. Driver's face struck steering wheel causing damage to mouth and shoulder. Extensive damage to the vehicle. Amazing no one was killed or seriously injured. Also, I would notice that if I was traveling over about 40 mph, the car would shake when the brakes were applied. Car would sometimes stall when stopped. Sometimes I would have to take the car out of park and put it back into park before it would start. Also the passenger side headlight seemed to not be fully sealed as it always had condensation inside. Noticed the passenger airbag seemed to be sticking out and the glove compartment was difficult to open. I wonder if this car had been wrecked before I bought it. I know I was not told it had been. I just recently learned they do not make Avengers anymore. Is there a reason for this. Are they dangerous. Could something have caused this crash other than the driving of the driver. I will be happy to provide my VIN number as soon as I can get it. Car is in storage now.
In the parking lot of the credit union went to put the emergency brakes on and it was real easy to pull up, vehicle was still running heard a loud noise and the vehicle towed to the dealer was told that a spring popped on the back brakes which was causing the noise. The brakes were hanging down.
ABS module assembly failed at 30,000 miles and 6 months out of warranty. $1300 to repair. I seriously doubt anyone (including me) will pay to fix. ABS will remain disabled.
Driving at different speeds, brakes will pulsate, feels as though it will not stop. Slowly defect is getting worse. Dealer resurfaced rotors/changed and cleaned rotors four times, still cannot find problem.
When appling the brakes the vehicle vibrates. The rotors have been replaced six times. Everytime the prolem is remedied for a month, and the problem reoccurs.
While driving vehicle, when applying the brakes, would notice severe vibrations. Happens at various speeds. Took it to dealer to replace the brakes, was informed there was too much stopping & going.
