What are some common problems with '97 Dodge Avengers?

Question

I just recently bought a 1997 Dodge Avenger.  The water pump and the timing belt were just changed a week before I bought it.  It's in REALLY great condition, and doesn't even look like a '97.  Just wondering what are some things I should keep an eye out for....

i own a 97 model and the two main things that you mentioned are the most problems they give other than the transmissions in them,other than that the are good driving cars,mine blew a heater core out and i replaced it ,but other than that we put a lot of miles on it and it has been a good one,and i only paid around 650 for the car so i think i have drove my moneys worth from it,good luck and enjoy the holidays,

The steering is probably an alignment issue, but it can be caused by a lot of things. Have your power steering checked also. The hum in the engine could be a lot of things, but there is no way to guess with what is given here.

4cyl or v6? the rear ball joints go out. on the 4cyl's i would keep an eye on your throwout bearing. its also very common for the seals on the transmission to go out. ummmmmm.... my rear spoiler would always come detached... i dont know a lot about the v6's but i owned a 4cyl.

another thing that happened to me that i heard was common was the door handle assembly inside the door would fail, and you cant get your door open. but thats an easy fix.

good car i beat the crap out of mine and it treated me pretty good! happy avengin!
