I have a 2008 Avenger The traction Control activates for no reason. Also there is a knocking noise comming from the left front side. Dealer replaced the steering angle sensor which did not solve the issue

Avenger falling apart by kjc5

I am beginning to think that the Dodge Avenger is another american piece of ##. I have 33k on my car now and I am so disappointed in my decision to purchase this car.
 
I have taken the car to the dealership 5 times in the last 3 months. Brakes, rotors,struts,rack and pinion, water in the trunk, airbag sensor lighting up, myGiG system replaced and still my car feels like I have no shocks. The ride quality has gone from fantastic to terrible. Has any body else had similar experiences?
 
Why can't Dodge fix this car?

I would suggest taking it to a different dealer and talking to their 'Lead/Head' mechanic. I have an '08 R/T with the 3.5L V6 and have been told that Cerberus' crew were penny pinchers.............kinda like Jack Nasser did formerly of Ford. If you live in Metro Detroit Michigan area, check out Crestwood or Oakland. Their service departments are exceptional. For your suspension stuff, you might need to check out a better tire. At 33K, tires may be showing signs of wearing out and that will stiffen the ride a lot. That can lead to excessive wear on front end components including struts, shocks and rack. Springs could be replaced too when the shocks/struts are done. (I prefer Monroe brand, as they have regular and sensa-trac type). Springs usually come with a lifetime warranty like the shocks/struts. What happened to you GIG system? I'm getting 29.3mpg at 65mph on hwy with cruise on flat land. Doesn't ride like my '01 minivan, but fuel economy is much better and it accelerates like a race horse.
