Avenger 4 Cy Bk

  • Automatic transmission

This is now the second Dodge Avenger out of 4 I have that had overheating problems first from thermostats then after replacing them the fans assembly and window switches go haywire. then it overheats again and this time had to buy and put in a new motor in it. The tipm made the switches or relays go haywire and it made the engine over heat and blew a gasket. They are faulty in 2 of my 4 Dodge Avengers. All my Avengers have this knocking in the glovebox. The manufacture is responsible for the workmanship and trust in their vehicles and they need to be held accountable. Not to mention the deaths from the airbags! Our airbags in all of our Dodges are on. When will it stop?
