Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2007 Dodge Avenger presents a notably different complaint profile compared to its model-year neighbors. With only 2 complaints filed that year, it represents a sharp decline from the 31 complaints recorded in 2000, the last earlier year in the data, suggesting a period of relative stability preceding a significant deterioration. The following model year, 2008, experienced a dramatic spike to 844 complaints—the highest in the entire dataset—accompanied by the generation's only investigation, indicating a fundamental quality issue emerged with the 2008 refresh. Complaints remained elevated through 2012-2013 (547-553 range) before moderating. The 2007 model year also recorded 4 recalls and 29 TSBs, which, while present, did not translate into consumer complaints at the rate seen in subsequent years. Given that the target year sits at the tail end of a low-complaint period immediately before a major quality crisis begins, the 2007 Avenger appears to be the most favorable model year within this generation to consider for purchase.
