CarComplaints.com Notes: Consumer Reports road tests has noted deficiencies in the 2012 Avenger with regard to engine noise, acceleration, braking, handling, transmission, fuel economy, driving position and rear visibility. But at least it has a cool marketing campaign ... right?
Yesterday I replaced the front wheel hub bearings and during that process I noticed the steering wheel would turn without the key on or even in the cylinder. At first I thought maybe it is doing this because I have the car on jack stands even though I know cars normally don't turn without the key on. So I continued with the wheel bearing and when I was done, I tried turning the steering and behold it turned without the key.
I shut it down after the test drive and locked it all up til this morning. I unlocked the doors and sat inside and yes turned the steering wheel a full turn to the right and left. This does bother me a great deal living in the nation's highest vehicle town. I was wondering if anyone else with a Avenger has this same problem?
