I think I can get it for around $3,000 seems to run great, excellent sound system.
Only thing I saw wrong with it was the usual fogged up headlights.
Any pros or cons on this would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have had the car for about 2 months. Recently, while driving in the rain, my windshield became foggy. I adjusted the knob to defrost and the A/C light came on. Cold air was coming out of the vents AS WELL as hot air out of the defrost area right under the windshield. Has anybody else experienced a similar problem? The A/C light only comes on when I direct the knob to DEFROST. I'm not sure if this will continue in the winter, but I don't want the A/C kicking on in the winter! I did not receive an owner's manual when I purchased. Please, let me know if you have any idea if this is normal or if I'm just crazy! :confuse:
Does anyone know what the problem is? Would it need a tune up or is somethign else wrong and how much would it cost to be fixed?

Feel free to email me and I will let you know what happens with the new computer
My Avenger has recently had it's spark plug wires changed, alternator was changed, distributor cap was changed, new starter, and the fuel injectors are running fine - it's making the clicking noise they're supposed to and all. :confuse:
Transmission fluid I was told could be a problem, and I have a small leak but it was full at the time.
Any ideas?
Boom without warning... your sitting on the side of the road .
Sometimes it will crank back up or it might be 30 minutes or more
to get it to crank back up. Its been in the shop 3 different times. They did something to the distributor costing $ 500 and it cut off on the way back home.
I have been dealing with this problem of about 5 months now and am at the end of my rope... thinking about getting rid of it. Has anyone else had and solved problem like this? Now they say it might be the security system?
I have spent way too much frigin money in parts alone. Thank God I know alot of back yard mechanics who do the work for me.
My car would die every day at the same spot. 10 mins later she would start up and no problem until the next day. Okay lets give her a full tune up. ($700.00)
Start her up and ? Same crap. Okay fuel pump and sending unit.($300.00)
Okay start her up. Same stupid crap. Okay. Now I say THATS IT!! SHE'S GOING TO THE DEALER. Well they want to rip me a new one. They say it's the distributor ($1300.00) Yeah. I'll be right back is what I told them. So I went and bought a distributor from NAPA ($636.00) Slapped that puppy in and ???????
SAME FRIGIN CRAP!! Now the car runs even worse then before.
I have it narrowed down to a few more things that personally the damn car aint worth anymore. It's either the crankshaft sensor (which would send a code) as would the camshaft sensor. See the car has no spark when she dies and wont start. It's not fuel. The only other thing is wiring or computers. So tomorrow I have to go to the dealer and ask them for the computer diagram that shows me how much voltage is supposed to be running through each wire. Then I'll get out my trusty volt meter and see what I find. Hopefully I find something cuz this is absolutely disgusting. The dodge avenger is a nice looking car, but if i gotta deal with this kinda crap I'll go buy my [non-permissible content removed] a bus pass.
sensor (The part cost $95.00 wholesale ) Its been running without cutting off ever since.
The check engine light goes on and off for some reason though.
I felt like setting that car on fire all those times it cut off... on railroad tracks and at
stop lights, just at any random time without warning.
Hope you get your car purring like a kitten again and don't have to get that bus pass!!!!
and I've faced the problem of stalling for 2-3 weeks.
Finally, I went to mechanics to x-ray transmission.
If transmision is o.k, ask them to delete old data records.
The problem was fixed for my car.

Hard codes send an engine light and soft codes make you blow are your money to find out the problem. So the crank sensor sends a soft code. The car hasn't stalled out yet and its been 1 day. So I'm happy there but the terd box has a horrible miss and when I stop or go real slow the idle drops. The dealership says there is nothing wrong with the car, it could be running like crap because it is getting old. OLD? OLD? I almost slapped the jerk. The car only has 118000.
Well I'm gonna through some good gas in her some lucas fuel injector cleaner, and I'm gonna take for a good rip on the highway. Hopefully that will help and if not it'll blow it up. Time for drastic measures.

You might want to ask the folks in the Check Engine Light discussion -- they might have some ideas for you.
