My daughters 2013 Avenger 2.4 was a decent car. Did need a new alternator and steering rack replaced at around 80,000 or so.

Steering rack - UGH! We bought a new 1995 Stratus back in the day - that car was a first year model, & a real POS. First thing that went on it was the steering rack - within the first year too I might add. Obviously replaced under warranty, but still. We bought a 1999 Taurus in 2001 that was really a nice condition car - with around 62k on it. Steering rack went on that - it was on my dime. At the time, I had a good friend working for Ford & he was able to get me a rack off a to-be-scrapped test vehicle, so it was basically new. Then - to find someone to install it. Finally found a shop to do the install for a reasonable price, but it had a whine all the rest of the years I owned the car. Typical Ford - all kinds of nagging & STRANGE problems until we sold it off a few years later.

So, don't get me started on steering racks!
