SOURCE: My Car wont let me start it

Well, my mom found a little button underneath the dash board on the drivers side. And I guess its kind of like the reset button. So she pushed it and started the car and it was fine!

SOURCE: 2008 dodge caliber

I just found out that in the 2008 year model the sensor mondular for the keyless remote has a tendency to attract static electicity and that leads to shorting out causing the vehicle not to start unless you disconnect the battery to reset the computer. The tech installed a new sensor module that is supposed to have the flaws corrected. I guess we will see if it does and if this is truely the problem at hand. I do want to comment on my 2008 caliber. I am honestly happy with it.

SOURCE: central locking remote won't open car/car won't start

Sounds like a basic bad battery. Even though its not that old it can be bad....and probably under warranty. Immobilizer or starter will not cause that. Get the bat tested.
Only other thing is called a "parasitic draw". This is when something is drawing current from the battery when its supposed to be off. Usually this causes a totally dead battery, not a weak one like you have.

No Bus 08 dodge avenger..windows,radio,heater...etc..no start..disconnect battery..now its running again

Just bought a 2013 dodge avenger, literally yesterday. Test drove fine twice,, drove all over town for license and registration, multiple erands. No problems. I got to work and went to leave for lunch and was introduced to the no bus code. Left me stranded the very day i purchased it,, only 25000 miles. Is this problem simple enough to weather or is this the brightest red flag to take it back?

There is a transponder chip in the key and a reader inside the key lock area.

2008 Dodge Avenger. Cannot shift gear out of

first thing I check is if the brake lights work.

a trick that works on some cars is turn the key to one notch before "run", shift into neutral and start. then take it to the dealer, it's under warranty, right?

My dodge avenger 2008 is stuck in park and will not shift out

There's a saftey cable attached to the brake. If that breaks or gets messed up you will not be able to get it out of park. There might be a key slot in the console,insert the ignition key, & try to move the gear shift. If you can get to neutral,it'll start & you can get it to a qualified shop,without a tow bill.

My 1997 Dodge Avenger's engine won't start

Try cam and/or crank sensor. If crank to cam timing isn't detected properly it'll crank all day but won't start. I had similar problem on my 2.5L V6 Avenger....drove home fine, no engine light, next morning it cranked, but wouldn't start. The crank sensor was faulty.
