2011 DODGE AVENGER
This model year
What the record shows
The 2011 Dodge Avenger is a midsize car, and the 17th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1995 to 2016.
The EPA rated three configurations: engines from 2.4-litre four-cylinder to 3.6-litre six-cylinder, front-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 22 to 24 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 209 owner complaints, 3 safety recalls and 61 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
