2012 Dodge Avenger 4 DR FWD

It seems to be a common issue that I'm experiencing as well. When I turn the heat on it only blows hot on the driver side. So depending on the weather conditions, it may completely fog up the passenger side of my window. Making it dangerous for driving when you're trying to defrost a window with cold air.

Power steering pressure line keeps breaking or coming off

Passenger side blows cold air. Looks like a known issue that needs recalled

My wipers stop in the middle of the windshield when it’s pouring outside. Now my horn won’t turn off! I was told that it’s the TIPM and it’s a known issue with my car.

Yggg

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated while 35 MPH, the passenger’s side air bag deployed without incident or warning. The contact was not injured. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 284,000.

The seats move around as if they are not bolted down properly. Any speed if you hit a small bump or so much as move other then straight it’s extremely noticeable. I don’t think it is safe and my kids are in this car daily and I was hoping a recall would have already been called on this because I know I’m mot the only one with this issue with both front seats moving around as if it’s a carnival ride. And the cruise control stopped working in 2016. Also has always made a weird sound under the hood and come to find out I have had a bad transmission the whole time I have owned this car, also a common issue I have heard from MANY People. Also these cars have several different censor problems that keep having to be replaced as well as energy draining batteries more than they should. The hoses and injectors also have been a major problem. I thought I just got unlucky with my car but everyone I know has soooo many problems with these cars it’s actually crazy they didn’t stop making them sooner. I’m the only driver and owner of this car and drive like a grandma I have been told so I do know it’s not how I have been with the car, also regular oil changes and maintenance as needed on top of thousands to keep her running as I bought it brand new and refuse to let it die on me after it’s paid off.

MY FUEL SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT MEASURE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN CAR WHEN DRIVING. A RECALL STARTED 07/26/ 2007 FOR SAME ISSUE BY AIR TEX. THEY WERE REPLACING GAS PUMP. PHONE # GIVEN FOR CONTACT IS NOT VALID, CAN YOU HELP.

MY CAR KEEPS BLOWING ROAD DUST OUT OF ALL THE VENTS WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN A GRAVEL ROAD DOESN'T MATTER THE SPEED AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE HEATER AND A/C ARE ON OR OFF. WHEN I TURN ON MY HEATER/A/C IT RUNS THROUGH THE DEFROST, FACE VENTS, AND FLOORS VENTS, BEFORE IT WILL FINALLY SETTLE ON THE AREA I HAVE IT SET AT. DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S A PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO A RECALL. THEY KNOW IT STEMS FROM THE HEATER CORE NOT BEING PROPERLY CLEANED BEFORE INSTALLING IT IN THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEATER FAILED TO DISTRIBUTE AIR AND THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO SEE OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ACTUATOR, PANEL, AND KNOB NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WALLY ARMOUR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1950 W STATE ST, ALLIANCE, OH 44601, (330) 422-8602) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS SLUDGE IN THE HEATER CORE. THE HEATER CORE, THERMOSTAT AND ACTUATOR WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. AFTER A SECONDARY DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

I HAVE A 2012 DODGE AVENGER WITH APPROXIMATELY 76200 MILES ON IT. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT MY TRANSMISSION MADE A CLUNKING SOUND AND MY VEHICLE WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR BUT THE RPMS BUT JUMP UP TO ABOUT 7000 AND STAY THERE. I WAS ON A FOUR LANE ROADWAY GOING THROUGH A CITY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. ENDED UP MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH 76,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. TRANSMISSION ISSUES SEEM TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE AVENGERS. AND OF COURSE WHEN I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER CARE THEY STATED THEY CAN DO NOTHING FOR ME ON ANY KIND OF REIMBURSEMENT. TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 76000 MILES! VERY DISAPPOINTED IN DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM.

"WINDOW DEFROST AND PASSENGER HEAT /AIR. WHILE EITHER IN MOTION OR WHILE DRIVING, NO HEATED AIR EXITS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER, NOR THE PASSENGER WINDOW DEFROST, LOWER AND CENTER CONSOLE VENTS. HEATED AIR ONLY EXITS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER'S SIDE DASH VENTS. PROBLEM PERSISTS THROUGH ALL CABIN AIR MODES, AND CIRCULATIONS. THIS SAFETY ISSUE EFFECTS VISIBILITY AND PASSENGER SAFETY BY FAILING TO DEFROST/DEFOG WINDOWS AND KEEPING CABIN TEMPURATURES NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING DURING COLD WEATHER (BLOWING COLD AIR INTO THE CABIN)."

VEHICLE IN LIMP MODE AND WON'T SHIFT GEARS PROPERTY. STARTED AFTER A PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A ISSUE UNTIL I HAD IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN STARTED THE LIMP MODE AND THEN DRIVING IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. BECAUSE IT WON'T CHANGE GEAR AND GOING UP A HILL IS IMPOSSIBLE WHEN IT WON'T CHANGE GEARS. OR SPEED UP.. IT SLOWS DOWN INSTEAD.

MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER HAS CONTINUED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, THE FIRST IS THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS. THEY WON'T ROLL DOWN OR ONCE DOWN WON'T ROLL UP. SECOND MY INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN TURN ON BY THEMSELVES AND FLICKER, THIRD, FLICKERING. I HAVE TRIED REPLACING THESE POSSIBLE BROKEN PARTS BUT IT HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEMS.

VEHICLE GOES INTO TRANSMISSION LIMP MODE OUT NO WHERE CAUSING VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN AND LOCK INTO 1ST GEAR. WHILE DOING THIS THE VEHICLE IS INCAPABLE OF PICKING UP SPEED OR MAINTAINS SPEED SAFELY OF OVER 20 TO 25 MILES PER HOUR. DIAGNOSTIC CODE IS P0882 ON MY CODE SCANNER STATING POSSIBLE LOOSE PIN CONNECTION OR CONNECTIONS, LOW VOLTAGE TO TRANSMISSION CONTROL TIPM ( TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE ), TCM ( TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ) ETC., CAR WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY AND WOULD NOT ACCELLERATE TO BEYOND 20-25 MILES PER HOUR MAX AS CAR WILL NOT UPSHIFT. AFTER CHECKING ALL CONNECTIONS I RESET AND ERASED CODE AND CAR DROVE A FEW MILES NORMALLY AND SHIFTING PROPERLY BEFORE DOING SAME AGAIN WITHIN 5 MINUTES. HAD CAR TOWED 25 MILES HOME AT NIGHT. SPOKE TO SERVICE TECH AT LOCAL DODGE DEALER. HE STATED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE MODEL CARS ALL THE WAY THRU THE NEW DODGE CHALLENGER. AND MYSELF I STATE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU UNEXPECTEDLY CAN NOT AVOID SLOWING DOWN AND YOU CAN NOT SPEED UP TO AVOID A REAR END COLLISION BY OTHERS DRIVING BEHIND YOU

THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES. THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER (ORC) MAY CAUSE AN ILLUMINATED AIRBAG WARNING LAMP DUE TO AN INTERNAL FAILURE IN THE ORC WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE INABILITY TO DEPLOY ACTIVE HEADRESTS (AHR) DURING CERTAIN REAR-END CRASHES. I PURCHASED THIS CAR 02/2017

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM 2ND OWNER, I LIVE IN SOUTH GEORGIA, TEMPERATURES ARE MILD, BUT NEED HEAT DURING WINTER MONTHS SOMETIME. JHEATER ISSUES - I HAVE A 2012 AVENGER; THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR STOPPED BLOWING HOT AIR. I TOOK THE AVENGER IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS FROM CASING SAND CLOGGING THE RADIATOR, HEATER CORE AND THE OIL COOLER. SEVERAL INTERNET FORUMS OWNERS REPORT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH ONLY LIMITED FIXES FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, DEALER PRICES AT $1000.00 OR MORE. DODGE SHOULD COVER THIS DEFECT WITH A RECALL, THIS IS A DEFECT CAUSED AT FACTORY LEVEL, NOT OWNERS.

THIS SAFETY ISSUE EFFECTS VISIBILITY AND PASSENGER SAFETY BY FAILING TO DEFROST/DEFOG WINDOWS AND KEEPING CABIN TEMPURATURES NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING DURING COLD WEATHER (BLOWING COLD AIR INTO THE CABIN). THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE HEATING WAS ACTIVATED, THERE WAS COOL AIR BLOWING OUT OF THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE VENTS. THE WINDOWS FAILED TO DEFROST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VISIBILITY OUT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT OR REAR WINDOW WAS GREATLY REDUCED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. BUTTON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (1220 E. BOULEVARD, KOKOMO, IN 46902, (765) 234-0066) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE THEN WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 91,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVER SIDE VENT BLOWS HOT AIR WHEN HEAT IS ON, BUT CENTER AND PASSENGER SIDE BLOW COLD AIR. THIS CAUSES FOGGING OF THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH MEANS I CAN'T SEE OUT THE WINDOW. I'VE READ THIS IS COMMON WITH THE 2013-2013 AVENGER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE VENT WAS NOT PROVIDING WARM AIR. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND AN UNKNOWN COMPONENT WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 126,000.

PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR, NO HEAT

HEATER IS BLOWING WARM/HOT AIR ON DRIVER SIDE AND ON PASSENGER SIDE IS COLD AIR. TRIED DIFFERENT PARTS THAT EFFECTS HEATER AND STILL DOES NOT WORK

DRIVERS SIDE HEATER WORKS OKAY BUT THE PASSENGERS SIDE IS VERY COLD... I LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE AREA AND THE WINDOWS ARE ALWAYS FROZEN 😩 IT'S SO HARD TO KEEP THE CAR WHEN THIS DOESN'T WORK IT'S VERY UNSAFE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING WITH THE HEATER IN OPERATION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE LIGHT INDICATED THAT THE THERMOSTAT NEEDED TO BE CHECKED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND DIM WHENEVER I ROLL THE WINDOWS UP AND THE CAR SEEMS TO PUTTER AT THE SAME TIME, THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR DOESN'T BLOW HEAT WHEN THE CAR IS SET TO BLOW HEAT IT ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR ALL THE TIME, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON A FEW WEEKS AGO FOR NO REASON AND WON'T GO AWAY AFTER ALL MAINTENANCE REPAIRS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES AND SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THEIR IS NO SEVERE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. BUT ALL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS KEEP HAPPENING AND I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND JUMP START THE BATTERY TWICE. I'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION OF JUST FILING A COMPLAINT ON THIS WEBSITE.

HEAT AND DEFROST FOR WINDSHIELD DOES NOT WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE. EVEN IF I SCRAPE THAT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD IT STILL FROST OVER AS I DRIVE CAUSING VISIBILITY TO BE DIFFICULT ON THAT SIDE. I'VE READ A LOT OF REVIEWS AND THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THE V6 VERSIONS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE A LONG WITH BEING A SAFETY CONCERN. BEING ABLE TO SAFELY SEE IS NOT ACCESSORY IT IS ESSENTIAL. SO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE ONLY LEADS BACK TO THE MANUFACTURE. HAS NOTING TO DO WITH VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

DEFROSTERS DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE DOESN'T WORK. I'VE HAD THE ACTUATOR REPLACED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY THERMOSTAT, AFTER I'VE GOTTEN THAT REPLACED I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY HEATER CORE! I CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR DURING RAINY DAYS BECAUSE DEFROSTERS DOESN'T WORK DUE TO NO HOT AIR.

DRIVER SIDE AIR BLOWS HOT AIR WHILE PASSENGER SIDE AIR ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. A FLUSH FIXED IT SHORT TERM. DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE BUT WAS UNWILLING TO FIX.

THE CAR RANDOMLY DIES AND JUST SHUTS OFF. VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF BOTH WHILE BEING STATIONARY AND ON THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WHITTEN BROTHERS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM OF MIDLOTHIAN (10701 MIDLOTHIAN TURNPIKE, RICHMOND, VA 23235, (804) 352-2615) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V640000 (SEATS, AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.*DT*JB

PURCHASED 2012 DODGE SXT PLUS AT AUCTION. RECHARGED A/C BUT LOSE COLD AIR AFTER 3 DAYS. EVALUATIONS BY 2 MECHANICS, DYE, PRESSURE TESTS, SHOWS NO FREON LEAKS. HEATER CORE IS LEAKING AND POSSIBLE EVAPORATOR ISSUE, SAME AS WHAT'S SEEN IN OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR AVENGERS. FRUSTRATING THAT THE HEATER CORE LEAK IS SO COMMON ON AVENGERS, MECHANICS ALL STATE IS MANUFACTURING ISSUE, BUT NO RECALL ON IT. EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T GO OUT AGAIN.

THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR. RESEARCHING I SEE THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I LIVE IN MINNESOTA AND IN THE WINTER MONTHS IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS THE WINDSHIELD FREEZES AND FOGS UP. VISIBILITY IS DECREASED AND DANGEROUS!!

THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR TURNED OFF THE STEERING WAS NOT WORKING AND THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD . I ALMOST HIT A MAILBOX . THANK GOODNESS THERE WAS NO CHILD NEAR THE SCHOOL ZONE THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW . THE MECHANIC SAYS IT COULD BE THE ABS

MY CAR IS BLOWING COLD AIR OUT OF THE PASSAGE SIDE VENTS, THEN WARM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, WHEN I RUN THE AC, AT IDLE OR DRIVING. THE AC NOW ONLY BLOWS COOL AIR OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE, AND WARM OUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE. WHEN I TURN THE CONTROL KNOBS, THE FAN WILL BLOW HIGH ON NUMBER 1. I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AS WELL, WHEN I HAVE ON THE HEADLIGHTS, AND ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW, THE LIGHTS DIM, THEN RETURN TO REGULAR BRIGHTNESS. THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH FOR THE FIRST 10 SECONDS, WHEN STARTING THE CAR. MY BEST GUESS IS HEATER CORE OR ACTUATOR ISSUES. I KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THESE CARS, PLEASE RECALL THE 2012 DODGE AVENGER SXT PLUS, TO FIX THE ISSUES AT HAND. THANK YOU

MY AC HAS STOP BLOWING COLD I HAVE CHANGED COMPRESSOR, ACTUATORS, N CONTROL MODULE AND STILL AIR ISN'T BLOWING COLD. CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN AC STOP WORKING PROPERLY.

ALTERNATOR.. I BOUGHT USED AUG.12,2019.ON AUG.20,2019..8 DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT WENT TO VIRGINIA ON VACATION..LEFT ME SET IN 98 DEG HEAT OUT IN NO WHERE LAND. TOWING AND FIXING COAST OVER 700..NOW 10 MONTHS LATER IT WENT AGAIN.. I AM 71..RETIRED,LIVING ON WELFARE ( SOCIAL SECURITY ) WHAT DO I DO NOW?

HEAT ONLY ONLY ON DRIVER SIDE. PASSENGER SIDE HAS NO HEAT AND WILL NOT DEFROST IN THE WINTER TIME WHILE STANDING OR DRIVING. WINDSHIELD WILL FREEZE UP AS YOU'RE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A FEW YEARS. VERY UNSAFE!!!!!! WILL NOT RECOMMEND DODGE TO ANYONE NOR WILL I BUY ANOTHER DODGE IF THEY DO NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE FRONTAL PASSENGER'S SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO CHECK FOR RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FERMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM ' WESLEY CHAPEL (24314 FL-54, LUTZ, FL 33559) AND THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN I FIRST WEEK I BROUGHT THE CAR THE TRANSMISSION WAS JERKING , THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WOULDN'T GO ALL THE WAY DOWN. WHEN I REPORTED IT TO THE CAR DEALER SHIP THEY SAID THAT IS WAS JUST BECAUSE THE CAR WAS A NEW CAR AND IT WILL GO AWAY. I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS I HAD THE FIRST DAY I PURCHASE THE CAR. I ALSO CALLED THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET MY RECALLS FIXED . THE DEALER SHIP TOLD ME LAST AUGUST 2019 THAT THEY WAS ORDERING THE PARTS FOR MY RECALL AND THEY NEVER DID. *TR

BANK 2 CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS SHOWING THAT THE CONVERTER CANNOT HANDLE THE EMISSIONS FROM BANK 2 OF THE ENGINE, CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO REPEATEDLY COME ON. THIS VEHICLE IS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER AND 2011-2014 DODGE AVENGERS HAVE A RECALL FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. BUT WHEN CHECKING THE VIN NUMBER, CHRYSLER IS CLAIMING THERE ISN'T ANY RECALL ON THAT VIN NUMBER. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS MY CHRYSLER 200 THAT HAS THE SAME RECALL. WHAT IS CHRYSLER TRYING TO COVER UP? *TR

I HAVE NO HEAT ON MY PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I'VE LOOKED UP WHAT COULD BE WRONG AND IT KEEPS SAYING DEFECT IN THE MODEL. I'VE LOOKED INTO GETTING HEATER CORE REPLACED BUT I KEEP READING THAT IT WILL ONLY TEMPORARILY FIX THE ISSUE AND NOT FULLY SOLVE [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HELLO, THE ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE, WAS AT GLENDALE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP, IN GLENDALE, CA, FOR A TOTAL OF SEVEN FULL DAYS. THEY WERE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY THE (HORN), CONTINUES TO GO OFF EITHER, MOVING OR STANDING STILL.*BF THEY PUT IN THE FOLLOWING PARTS: (SWITCH SPEED) FOR $50.00 (SWITCH HORN) FOR $127.60 (HARNESS STEER) FOR $158.00 PLUS THE COST OF DIAGNOSIS $195.00 AFTER ALL OF THIS I WAS FINALLY TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS A (TIPMCGW) , WHICH I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $1,900, PLUS LABOR. I WAS TOLD THIS PART IS LOCATED UNDER THE FUSE BOX, AND CONTROLS ALL THE FUNCTIONS IN THE VEHICLE. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A WEAR AND TEAR PART, ESPECIALLY WHERE IT IS LOCATED, NOT SURE WHY IT WOULD GO OUT UNLESS FAULTY. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE HORN. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE TO HAVE THE HORN CONNECTED, BECAUSE IT KEEPS GOING OFF. IT'S ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE NOT HAVING THE HORN CONNECTED, WHILE DRIVING. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME THIS THIS ISSUE *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE HORN ISN'T WORKING AND CONSUMER DOESN'T HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 1,900.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE HORN HAS A ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE, WHICH CONTINUES TO HONK, WHILE DRIVING, OR STANDING STILL. YOUR DODGE JEEP CHRYSLER DEALER IN GLENDALE, NOW TELLS ME, THAT THERE IS A SHORT, AND HE KNOWS THAT THE SWITCH IS BAD, AS IT CONTINUES TO HONK WHEN THE HORN IS CONNECTED. NOW THIS DEALER IS CHARGING ME ANOTHER $900., BUT NOT SURE IT WILL FIX PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED, IT IS A DEATH TRAP, WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

WHEN USING THE HEATER, DRIVER SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT'S COLD AIR. MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR WINDOWS TO DEFROST DURING WINTER, WHICH MAKES IT A HAZARD FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE ON THE ROAD SAFELY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, ALL OF SUDDEN MY HORN, STARTS GOING OFF, I TOOK CAR TO MEINEKE SHOP, THEY TOLD ME THE BALANCE INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS BROKEN, TWO OF THE 3 SPRINGS WERE BROKEN. ORDERED THE PART FROM CHRYSLER, THEY PUT THE NEW PART IN, AND TWO DAYS LATER HORN STARTS BLOWING AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE HORN BLOWING WHILE DRIVING DOWN STREETS IN LOS ANGELES, CALIF, NOT GOOD IDEA FOR HEALTH REASONS. *TR

MY CASE# [XXX], SHOP WAS NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A SHORT SOME WHERE IN THE COLUMN OF THE STEERING WHEEL. MY HORN HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED JUST SO IT DOESN'T CONTINUE TO BLOW WHILE I AM DRIVING. MY NERVES HAVE GOTTEN VERY BAD, LISTEN TO THIS HORN CONTINUALLY BLOWING, CAR CAN BE PARKED, OR MOVING.

ON APRIL 7TH 2020 I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. WHEN I GOT TO THE PEAK OF THE HILL AND I WENT TO TURN LEFT, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND THERE WAS NO POWER. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE ENGINE. IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED ON THIS HILL, AT ALMOST THE SAME TIME IN THE MORNING. IT'S ALWAYS WHEN IT'S COLD AND HAS BEEN RAINING. IN TOTAL MY CAR HAS STALLED OVER 6 TIMES, ALWAYS EARLY MORNING, ON A HILL, AND IT'S COLD AND/OR RAINING.

AIRBAG ISSUES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM AND CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. DRIVER SIDE HEAD RESTRAINT IS FAULTY AGAIN AND REPAIRS WILL COST 1100 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEAD REST.*DT *TR CONSUMER STATED AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WITHIN HAVING THE CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR.*JB

THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE CAR TIRE'S WERE CHECK I THAN HAD TO COME BACK 2 DAYS LATER BECAUSE OF THE WHEEL SHAKING BADLY AND MAKING A LOUD NOISE . THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE CAR HAD A BAD WHEEL BEARING AND THAT THEY MISSED IT . I THAN BROUGHT CAR TO BE FIXED AND WAS TURNED AWAY BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WHICH DEALERSHIP WAS ALREADY AWARE OF EVEN AFTER TELLING THEM I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR HOME ON THE RAIN I WAS STILL TURNED AWAY AND ASKED TO COME BACK AT A CONVENIENT TIME FOR THE DEALERS MECHANICS CAR WAS SWERVING ON HIGH WAY DUE TO TIRE AND RAIN AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT

THE ACTIVE HEAD REST BROKE AND DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE INSIDE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE RETAINER ROD BROKE, CAUSING THE HEADREST TO DEPLOY. THE CAR WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN A PARKING SPOT OUTSIDE MY HOME WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

THE CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY ACCELERATE WITH OUT ME USING THE GAS PEDAL. I LEARNED THERE WAS A THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM ISSUE. THE FLAP INSIDE THE THROTTLE BODY WOULD NOT CLOSE CAUSING THE CAR TO WANT TO MOVE FORWARD QUICKLY EVEN IN STOPPED TRAFFIC. NEARLY CAUSED ME TO REAR END A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN THE DESIGN AND HAS BEEN REDONE. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND DANGEROUS IF CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM WHY NOT RECALL IT?

I CHANGED THE 3 BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS AND I'M NOT STILL NOT GETTING HEAT AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR, ONLY DRIVERS SIDE. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH ON A STREET WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON AND THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING THE WHEEL BECAME VERY STIFF AND THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING. I MANAGED TO TURN THE WHEEL ENOUGH TO MAKE A TURN ON A NON BUSY STREET AND MANAGED TO PUT IT IN PARK ONCE IT STOPPED ROLLING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING IT UP TO HEAD TO THE MECHANIC UP THE ROAD TO THE MECHANIC. DIAGNOSTIC SAYS CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

VEHICLE HEATING SYSTEM FAILS TO PRODUCE HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE. PROPER OPERATION OF COOLING SYSTEM CHECKED: FAILED THERMOSTAT REPLACED, COOLANT FLUSH PERFORMED, AIR BLED FROM SYSTEM PROPER COOLANT LEVEL CHECKED. HEAT IS PRODUCED ON DRIVERS SIDE, BUT STILL NOT ON PASSENGER SIDE. VENTILATION FANS CHECKED AND ARE FUNCTIONING AND BLOWING AIR. FAILED AIR BLENDER MOTORS REPLACED, ALL WORK PROPERLY AGAIN. CABIN AIR FILTER REPLACED. CAR STILL ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN HEATER CORE ISSUE. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 90,000 MILES

HEATER NOT WORKS PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT BLOW HOT AIR.

WITH HEAT ON COLD AIR BLOWS ON PASSENGER SIDE NOT KEEPING THE WIDOW FROM FOGGING OVER

IN THE LAST 3 YEARS MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED 5 TIMES. TODAY WAS THE 5TH TIME. I WAS ON A HILL ABOUT TO TURN ONTO ANOTHER STREET, AND AS I STARTED TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, THE CAR TURNED OFF. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER WITH NO POWER. I TURNED THE CORNER THEN PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO START IT UP AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING ONLY ABUT 5 MILES PER HOUR ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET THANKFULLY. THE WEATHER WAS COLD BUT NOT RAINING. ALL 5 TIMES THAT THE CAR HAS STALLED IT HAS BEEN A COLD MORNING, AND I WAS ON AN INCLINE

THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT WHILE THE DRIVERS SIDE STILL HAD HEAT. WE WERE DRIVING IN SNOW AND ICE AND HAD VERY LIMITED VISIBILITY OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL AS THE SIDE WINDOWS WHEN CHECKING FOR TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN DODGE AVENGERS. THE ACTUATOR WAS CHANGED WHICH DID NOT HELP. THE DRIVERS SIDE HEAT IS NOW VERY REDUCED WHICH IS CAUSING MORE VISIBILITY ISSUES IN DRIVING IN SNOW AND RAIN

THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF MY HEATER INCLUDING DEFROSTERS'S BLOWS COLD AIR. THE CAR ONLY HAS 50,500 MILES. THIS CAUSES THE PASSENGERS SIDE TO NOT PROPERLY DEFROST AND FOR ANY PASSENGER IN THE CAR TO BE COLD AS COLD AIR IS BLOWING AT THEIR FEET OR FACE DEPENDING ON WHERE THE CONTROL IS SET. THIS IS A CONTINUED ISSUE UNTIL I FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE HEATING SYSTEM OPERATED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE CONTACT RECENTLY HAD THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR AND THERMOSTAT REPLACED HOWEVER THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS, HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

WHEN HEAT IS ON DRIVER SIDE VENT BLOWS HOT AIR. PASSENGER SIDE AND FRONT WINDOW DEFROST DOES NOT.

THE HEADREST ON THE DRIVER SEAT SNAPPED AND HIT MY HEAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I CURRENTLY HAVE BACK NECK PAIN, FEELS LIKE A PRESSURE. IT WAS UNEXPECTED. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO ? I AM GOING TO MY DOCTOR THIS WEEK, BUT ANYWAY OF FIXING?

THE PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING WITH MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER IS THE CAR SHUTS DOWN SHE YOUR ARE DRIVING NO WARNING JUST SHUT DOWN .I WAS TOLD THERE WERE FOUR RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE I TOOK IT TO RALPH SELLERS A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN GONZALES,LA. THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT I GET OFF FROM WORK AND CAR SHUT DOWN THREE TIMES,BEFORE I MAKE IT TO MY HOME..THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT THIS CAR IS HAVING.I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I CAN DRIVE THIS CAR WITHOUT SOMEONE PLOWING IN THE BACK OF ME AND HURTING ME.

2012 AVENGER SE WITH JUST UNDER 100K MILES. THE HEAT IS NOT WORKING. BLOWING COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND BARELY HEATING UP ON THE DRIVER SIDE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON SEVERAL MESSAGE BOARDS, THIS IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER ISSUE WITH THE HEATER CORE. I HAVE FLUSHED THE SYSTEM MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT IS NOT GETTING BETTER. THIS ISSUE IS NOT DUE TO NOT MAINTAINING THE CAR. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND I HAVE CALLED DODGE AND WAS NOT GIVEN ANY ASSISTANCE. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE CARS HAVING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE.

THE HEAT DOES NOT WORK. COLD AIR. IT IS WINTER AND I AM FREEZING.

PASSENGER SIDE AIR CONDITIONING WILL NOT BLOW HOT AIR. DRIVER SIDE WORKS PERFECTLY FINE. I'VE READ EVERYWHERE THAT IT'S A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WITH THE HEATER CORE ETC. THIS WILL BE MY LAST CHRYSLER PRODUCT IF NOT RECALLED AND FIXED FOR FREE.

CONTINUOUSLY NO HEAT FROM ANY OF PASSENGER VENTS, INCLUDING THE REAR VENT BELOW THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR PASSENGERS IN BACK SEAT & A STRONG SMELL OF ANTI-FREEZE WHEN THE HEAT IS TURNED ON TO THE POINT OF NAUSEA, X2 WINTERS NOW, EST. 62,000 MILES, MAY HAVE BEEN THAT WAY AT 50,000 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT, BUT DIDN'T NEED HEAT THAT TIME OF THE YEAR OF EARLY SPRING.

PASSENGER SIDE HAS ONLY COLD AIR BLOWING OUT OF THE DEFROSTER. DRIVER'S SIDE IS HOT AND WORKING PROPERLY. THIS CONDITION APPLIES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FULLY WARMED UP, DRIVING, ACCELERATING OR STATIONARY

MY DODGE AVENGER HAS STARTED TO CUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR WHILE SITTING IN A LINE WAITING ON FOOD. I ALSO EXPERIENCE THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE NOT HEATING AT ALL. THERE IS ALSO A CLICKING NOISE IN MY CAR THAT HAS WORSENED OVER TIME. THERE ARE A LOT OFF ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND TO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. I AM SO AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO CUT OFF. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE SHOP BUT STILL EXPERIENCE THESE ISSUES. IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE CONTACT ME BECAUSE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT OUR UNSAFE VEHICLES.

THE VEHICLE BLOWS HOT AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, BUT COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. SINCE IT IS BLOWING ONLY COLD AIR ON ONE HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD THE WINDOWS ICE UP, FREEZE UP AND FOG UP. THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD, SINCE THIS IMPAIRS VISIBILTY.

I HAVE HAD MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. THE HEAT DOES NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC I PURCHASED FROM THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH ALL THESE CARS AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. ALSO IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS MY CAR HAS WENT DEAD WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT CRANK FOR AT LEAST 3 TO 4 HOURS. I WAS JUST ON THIS INTERSTATE FRIDAY NIGHT GOING 60 AND MY CAR WENT DEAD AND HAD TO COAST OF THE INTERSTATE IN A REALLY BAD PART OF TOWN. I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH BOTH OF THESE AND CANNOT BELIEVE THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS. THANKS DODGE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE LIGHTS START FLICKERING AND THEN THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS START GOING DIM.

THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER PUTS OUT COLD AIR EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WARMED UP AND DRIVEN FOR A WHILE. THIS OFTEN MAKES MY CAR DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT DEFROST OR DEFOG IN A TIMELY MANNER OR AT ALL.

MY VEHICLE IS STALLING OUT AT ANY SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING THERE ARE NO ENGINE LIGHTS VEHICLE ALWAYS STARTS BACK UP

THE CAR WOULD JUST SHUT OFF WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AND WOULD TAKE LONG TIME TO POWER BACK ON. HEAD REST AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING TO LOSE CONTROL OF CAR. WINDOWS UNLOCKS WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP USING THE SAME TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE THAT ARE ON RECALL CHRYSLER 2000.

THE INTERIOR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE SLICED MY FINGER WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR.. IT LOOKS LIKE THE METAL IS SEPARATING AND IS SHARP AS A KNIFE.... MY OTHER ISSUE IS .. THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE IN MY PASSENGER SIDE DASH BOARD.. ON THE DRIVER SIDE THE VENTS BLOW HOT AIR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE VENT BLOWS COLD AIR.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT DOES NOT WORK. THIS JUST STOPPED ONE DAY AROUND 110,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP LET ME KNOW THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT WITH THE HEATER CORE. THE ENTIRE COOLANT SYSTEM IS BEING ADVISED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS ALSO A GOD AWFUL TICKING NOISE COMING FROM BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX WHEN THE HEAT IS TURNED ON. DODGE, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH READING ALL THESE REVIEWS ON THE EXACT SAME ISSUES, THAT YOU ALL ARE NOT STEPPING UP AS A COMPANY AND CORRECTING THIS ISSUE. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE? SOMEONE WRECKING A DYING DUE TO THE UNSAFE CONDITIONS THAT YOU ALL KNOWINGLY PUT US INTO? I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER DODGE AFTER THIS CAR. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND A DODGE TO ANYONE EITHER.

MY VEHICLE ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AMONG MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. WE TRIED TO FLUSH THE HEATER CORE AND IT DID NOTHING.

THE HEATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STOPPED BLOWING WARM AIR WHEN THE CAR IS EITHER IDLING OR ON THE FREEWAY. EVEN WITH PUTTING IT FULL BLAST THERE'S NOT HEAT COMING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE, JUST THE DRIVERS SIDE.

PASSENGER SIDE BLOWING NO HEAT WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY

IN MY CAR THERE IS NO HEAT. AT FIRST IT STARTED WITH JUST HEAT BLOWING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE AND SLOWLY THE HEAT COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR MAKES A LOUD TICKING NOISE BEHIND THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT WHEN THE HEAT IS TURNED ON, AND EVEN WHEN IT IS JUST SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATING SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING AND AFFECTED HER ABILITY TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

NO HEAT TO DEFROST PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD MAKING DIFFICULT TO SEE ANYTHING COMING FROM THE RIGHT

PASSENGER SIDE HEAT NOT WORKING. ONLY BLOWING OUT COLD AIR. EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS WARMED UP

YES I WAS ON I 85 CONNECTOR IN CHARLOTTE NC ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY CAR STARTED RUNNING HOT HAD TO GET IT TOWED, MISS TIME FROM WORK HAD TO CATCH UBER TWO DAYS WHICH COST OVER 40 BUCKS, COME TO FIND OUT THEY SAY IT WAS MY EMISSION SYSTEM TO CAUSE MY CAR TO RUN HOT, NOW I HAVE TO MISS MORE TIME FROM WORK TO TAKE IT TO GET REPAIRED, THE EMISSION SYSTEM HAS A RECALL ON IT.

HEATER BLOWS OUT COLD, HAS PLENTY OF ANTIFREEZE BUT THERE IS A SMALL LEAK SOMEWHERE ACTUATED ON LEFT SIDE MAKES CLICKING SOUND. CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY NO HEAT AND IT'S COLD HERE.

THE DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR WHEN I SET THE KNOB ON HOT BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR AND WON'T HEAT UP. ITS TERRIBLE FOR IN THE WINTER ONLY HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD GETS UNLOGGED AND THE OTHER HALF I CAN'T SEE OUT OF. IVE READ SOMEWHERE THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE CAR SOMEWHERE AND DODGE SHOULD HAVE TO COVER THE COSTS FOR FIXING THEM.

I HAVE NO HEAT COMING FROM MY VENTS NO MATTER WHAT SETTING. I'VE BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOPS AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. AFTER SEEING DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE IN DIFFERENT FORUMS I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT.

HEAT BLOWS OUT DRIVERS SIDE VENT. BUT BLOWS COLD OUT PASSENGER SIDE VENT. HAVE CHANGED THERMOSTAT AND ACTUATOR DOORS. HAVE FLUSHED SYSTEM SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL NO CHANGE. GARAGE ESTIMATED ME 1400 TO CHANGE OUT RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE BUT NOT GUARANTEED THIS WILL HELP MATTER. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2012 DODGE RAM.

PASSENGER SIDE VENTS ONLY BLOW COLD AIR. AFTER DRIVING FOR OVER AN HOUR, THE DRIVERS SIDE VENT WILL BE BLOWING WARM AIR WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE IS STILL BLOWING COLD AIR. UNABLE TO DEFROST WINDSHIELD AND WINDOWS CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES.

YES I'M HAVING STARTING ISSUES, I GOT NEW BATTERY AND REPLACED STARTER, KEPT HAVING SAME ISSUES, TOOK CAR BACK FOR RE DIAGNOSED NO SYSTEM ISSUE FOUND THEY CHECK FROM FRONT TO BACK STILL NO ISSUE FOUND, BUT CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES AND I HAVE TO GET A BOOST, PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE, IT'S A 2012 DODGE ADVENGER 138 THOUSAND MILES. IT HAPPENS WHEN I STOP AND GO PLACES AND GO TO GET BACK IN CAR IT WON'T CRANK.THANKS ALTHEA

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO 10 MPH AND LOST POWER. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE JERKED, SKID, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THROTTLE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKES, SWAY BAR, AND BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LUTHER BROOKDALE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (8188 BROOKLYN BLVD, BROOKLYN PARK, MN 55445, (612) 326-3931), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A VOICE MESSAGE WAS LEFT, BUT THEY FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

HEAT ONLY WORKS ON DRIVERS SIDE PART OF THE TIME. HAVE FOUND OUT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH THE HEATER CORE. WITH NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE I CAN NOT DRIVE MY CAR IN THE WINTER. I CAN NOT DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD DUE TO NO HEAT AND IF I AM DRIVING IN SNOW OR FREEZING WET TEMPERATURES MY WINDSHIELD W FREEZES UP. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM I HAVE HAD SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2018. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND FOUND OUT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH DODGE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC WHICH WOULD BE CHARGED TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. HAVE READ THAT MANY AVENGER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH NO REAL FIX BY DODGE. IT IS A HEATER CORE DEFECT. WHICH IS OVER A $1,000 FIX THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR DUE TO IT BEING A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

WHEN WE TURN ON THE HEATER IN THE CAR AND DOESN'T MATTER WHICH SETTING WE GET WARM AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

HEATER CORE ISSUE. REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES YET STILL GETTING BUILD UP CAUSING HOT AIR TO BLOW ON DRIVER SIDE BUT COLD AIR TO BLOW ON PASSENGER SIDE.

PASSENGER SIDE HEATER/DEFROSTER INOPERATIVE (BLOWS COLD AIR) CAUSING POOR VISIBILTY IN INCLEMENT AND COLD WEATHER. BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE IN SEPT 2017 AND HAS CONTINUED SINCE

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE. DOESNT MATTER IF THE CAR IS MOVING OR NOT. DOESNT ALLOW DEFROSTING VERY WELL.

MY CAR JUST STARTED DOING THIS. WITH THE HEAT ON, THE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR, PASSENGER SIDE IS COOL AIR. TOOK IT TO DODGE TODAY, THEY ARE SAYING MY COOLANT IS SLUDGY AND THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR, HEATING CORE, OIL FILTER HOUSING, AND FLUSH. FOR ALMOST $2900.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE DEFROST WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY FOR THE CENTER AND PASSENGER VENTS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MADDOX MOTOR COMPANY (LOCATED AT 564 GLOVER RD, SIDNEY, NE 69162, (308) 254-5577) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; BUT CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

DODGE LEFT RESIDUAL MACHINING DEBRIS IN THE AVENGER ENGINE BLOCKS THAT FLOWS WITH COOLANT INTO THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR CAUSING THE HEATER CORE TO CLOG UP AND BLOCKS HEAT TO PASSENGER SIDE IN THE WINTER CAUSING UNSAFE OR UNFIT TO OPERATE IN COLD WEATHER.

ACTIVE HEAD REST DEPLOYED WITHOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE RETAINING PIN BROKE CAUSING THE HEAD REST TO DEPLOY

MY HEATER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY BLOWN COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE ALREADY REPLACED BLEND DOORS THERE IS WATER IN MY DASHBOARD BUT THERE IS NO WATER LEAKING INSIDE CAR NO WATER COMES OUT FROM THE EVAPORATOR HOSE WHEN AC IS RUNNING EVERYTIME I TURN ON MY CAR U HEAR THE WATER GUSHING THROUGH OUT THE DASH HAVENT HAD A HEATER FOR A COUPLE YEARS ALREADY

KNOCKING COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE EVERY 20 MINUTES. HEATER NOT WORKING BLOWS OUT COLD AIR AND NOW THERE IS KNOCKING COMING FROM DRIVER SIDE AS WELL DEFROSTER DON'T WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE MAKES HARD TO SEE DURING RAINING AND FOGGY WEATHER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED. THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE ORIGINAL CRANK SHAFT SENSOR WAS INSTALLED BACK IN THE VEHICLE AND THE MECHANIC ATTEMPTED TO RESET THE SENSOR BY DRIVING TO 70 MPH AND IDLING DOWN. THIS PROCESS WAS ATTEMPTED THREE TIMES, BUT IT STILL DID NOT WORK AND THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE AS LONG AS IT DID NOT REACH 70 MPH. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH BREWBAKER DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT OF MONTGOMERY (300 EASTERN BLVD, MONTGOMERY, AL 36117, (334) 279-0174) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A YIELD SIGN, IT WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS PUSHED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELTS NEVER ENGAGED AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS AND SUSTAINED A HEAD CONTUSION, CONCUSSION, NECK SPRAIN, AND BACK INJURIES. THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT AND UNDERWENT SEVERAL BRAIN SCANS. SHE WAS ALSO CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING MINOR SEIZURES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS INITIALLY TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE COMPANY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO LITHIA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM OF CORPUS CHRISTI (4313 S STAPLES ST, CORPUS CHRISTI, TX 78411, 361-288-2510) WHERE IT WAS KEPT FOR TWO MONTHS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER PERFORMED AN UNKNOWN RECALL REPAIR REGARDING THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THEIR POSSESSION. THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE COMPANY PAID FOR ALL THE REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE, BUT A LEAK WAS STILL PRESENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. AFTER REVIEWING THE CARFAX REPORT, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V640000 (SEATS, AIR BAGS) AND 16V668000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, SHE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR AIRBAG RECALLS HOWEVER THE LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. NOT LONG AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE, I WOULD PUT USE THE TURN SIGNAL AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD COME ON, THEY STILL DO FROM TIME TO TIME. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. ALSO, FROM TIME TO TIME, THE AIR CONDITIONER BUTTON WILL NOT WORK. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO WORK IS TO RAPIDLY TURN THE KNOB FROM SIDE TO SIDE. IT HAS SOMETIMES TAKEN UP TO 5 MINUTES TO GET IT TO WORK.

NO HEAT OR DEFROSTER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE

HEATER CORE CLOGGED, CAUSING WINDOWS TO FOG UP IN COLD CONDITIONS, EVENTUALLY LEADING TO HEATER CORE AND COOLANT SYSTEM FAILURE DUE TO OVERPRESSURE, RESULTING IN ENGINE OVERHEATING.

AIR BAG LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF FOR DRIVERS HEAD REST AIR BAG WAS TAKEN IN FOR THAT RECALL NOW SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN ALSO HAVE THAT AWESOME DODGE DEFECT WERE THE HEATER BLOWS HOT ON DRIVERS SIDE AND ICE ICE COLD ON PASSENGER SIDE THESE ARE PRETTY MAJOR DEFECTS WITCH DODGE HAS KNOWN ABOUT AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

THIS CAR IS TOTALLY UNSAFE WORSE VEHICLE EVER. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR HAS LOST ALL POWER MAKING ME ALMOST LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR WHILE MY KIDS WERE IN IT AS WELL AND DRIVING ON. THE HIGHWAY. IT WILL BE FINE THEN JUST EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF. IT HAS SHUT OFF THEN NOT START OR I?VE CHANGED THE ENGINE ONE TIME AND AFTER THAT IT WAS OK AND NOW A YEAR LATER IS DOING G THE SAME EXACT THING. CAR WON?T START FOR SOME ODD REASON THEN STARTS FINE 30 MIN LATER I WAS TRYING G TO START MY CAR N IT BLEW UP IN MY FACE N BLEW THE AIR FILTER OFF AS WELL THIS CAR HAS BEEN SO BAD I?M SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE IT I ALSO HAVE VIDEOS OF IT DRIVING G FINE THEN JUST SHUTTING DOWN COMPLETELY THIS IS THE WORSE VEHICLE EVER WAY TO UNSAFE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTS GOING HAY WIRE FLASHING THE LIGHT OFF N AND THE CAR ALARM WILL GO OFF WHEN NO BODY HAS TOUCHED IT OR DONE ANYTHING TO MAKE IT GO OFF THERE'S MORE JUST REALLY UPSET CAN'T THINK OF THEM. *TR

HAD RECALLS DONE ON VEHICLE BUT DASH LIGHT FOR AIRBAGS IS ON AND STAYS ON FOR LAST 3 YEARS NOW

IN JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2018, MY 2012 AVENGER RT BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE INSUFFICIENT/NON-EXISTENT AIRFLOW AND LACK OF HEAT TO THE RIGHT-SIDE WINDOW DEFROSTERS AND ALL PASSENGER VENTS (EXCEPT THE FRONT-LEFT DRIVER VENTS), CREATING VISIBILITY HAZARDS AND AN UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING ENVIRONMENT FOR BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. DURING THE FOLLOWING 2018 SUMMER, THE AIR COOLING EFFECT AND WINDOW-DEFOGGING WAS ALSO DIMINISHED, ESPECIALLY FROM THE INEXPLICABLE REDUCED AIRFLOW COMING FROM PASSENGER VENTS. THE HEATER/DEFROSTER HAD MAJOR DIFFICULTY DEFROSTING THE WINDSHIELD AND RIGHT-SIDE FRONT WINDOW. IN EARLY 2019, I BROUGHT MY AVENGER TO A REPAIR SHOP RECOMMENDED BY SEVERAL FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES, AND THE SHOP RECOMMENDED A COOLANT SYSTEM FLUSH AND INSPECTED AIR BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS, BUT THOSE WERE FINE. THE ENGINE ALSO OCCASIONALLY RAN WARMER THAN USUAL, HOWEVER THAT MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO A STUCK THERMOSTAT WHICH WAS FOUND DURING THE SHOP'S DIAGNOSTICS AND WAS REPLACED. THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT THE COOLANT/RADIATOR/HEATER CORE FLUSH DID REMOVE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF SLUDGE. THE SYSTEM FLUSH ALSO SEEMS TO BE A RECOMMENDED DEALERSHIP SERVICE ACTION AS A "REMEDY." HOWEVER, THE COOLANT/HEATING SYSTEM FLUSH HAD LITTLE EFFECT ON THE HEATING ISSUE AND THE RIGHT WINDOW DEFROSTER AND PASSENGER VENTS STILL HAD DRASTICALLY REDUCED AIRFLOW DESPITE THE BLOWER AND ALL BLEND DOORS/ACTUATORS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

DODGE LEFT RESIDUAL MACHINING DEBRIS IN THE AVENGER ENGINE BLOCKS THAT FLOWS WITH COOLANT INTO THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR CAUSING THE HEATER CORE TO CLOG UP AND BLOCKS HEAT TO PASSENGER SIDE IN THE WINTER CAUSING UNSAFE OR UNFIT TO OPERATE IN COLD WEATHER. I'VE HAD MY AVENGER IN DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CONFIRM MY HEATER CORE IS BLOCKED. IT COSTS OVER 2K TO FIX THIS ISSUE CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE OR LACK OF DODGE FACTORY ENGINE INSPECTIONS. I'VE SPOKEN TO FCA THE DODGE PARENT COMPANY AND THEIR ANSWER IS WE SHOULD'VE HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I'M WITHIN THE MILEAGE FOR THE FACTORY WARRANTY BUT OUT OF AMOUNT OF YEARS COVERAGE . MY AVENGER HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM AN OUTSIDE SOURCE BUT THAT COMPANY WILL NOT COVER DODGE CREATED MALFUNCTIONS. THE ATTACHED INFO SHOWS MY AVENGER AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP ON 03-06-2019. I ALSO HAD IT SERVICED IN WICHITA AT PR AUTOGLASS AND AUTO SERVICES JUST PRIOR TO BRINGING IT TO DODGE DEALERSHIP. PR AUTOGLASS AND SERVICES STATED IT IS THE HEATER CORE AND THAT THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FLUSHED OUT AS IT HAS ACCUMULATED IN THE HEATER CORE BLOCKING IT FROM BEING PROFESSIONALLY FLUSHED. THE RESIDUE WAS ALSO EVIDENT IN THE RADIATOR BUT FLUSHING DID REMOVE THAT THE BEST WE CAN TELL. DODGE HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HAVING LEFT THIS DEBRIS IN THE ENGINE BLOCKS DURING THE MACHINING PROCESSES ON AVENGERS.

AC WORKS ON BOTH SIDES . WHEN HEAT IS TURNED , HEAT ONLY WORKS ON DRIVERS SIDE. COLD AIR BLOWS ON PASSENGERS SIDE AND ON PASSENGER SIDE DEFROST. DRIVER SIDE HEAT AND DEFROSTER HAS NO ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE, TURN SIGNALS, HEADLAMPS, AND PARKING LIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OURISMAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (12430 AUTO DR, CLARKSVILLE, MD 21029, (410) 988-8100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 58562756. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

THE FRONT OF THE HOOD ON THE AVENGERS HAS CORROSION. CHRYSLER REPLACED SOME OF THEM BUT NOT MINE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STILL UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE CLAIMED THE FIRST YEAR. I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL ALL OF THE HOODS BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL CORRODED.

CADILLAC CONVERTER RECALL- WHEN THE CADILLAC CONVERTER WENT OUT THE CAR MADE A HORRIBLE NOISE AND LOST POWER TO ACCELERATE. COME TO FIND OUT THE PRESSURE BLEW BACK AND POPPED HOSES OF AND BROKE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE FLAP CANT OPEN AND CLOSE. CHRYSLER SAID THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS NOT DUE TO THE CADILLAC CONVERTER BUT TEO AUTO MACANICA SAID IT WAS. THIS IS A $700 REPAIR DUE TO A RECALL! HAD BEEN DRIVING CAR AROUND TOWN ALL DAY. STOPPED TO TURN AND LOUD NOISE HAPPENED. LUCKLY COASTED TO BLOCKS TO HOUSE AND HAD TOW TRUCK TAKE TO REPAIR SHOP.

I BOUGHT 4 NEW GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 225/35R17 TIRES ON AUGUST 08/2018 AT A LOCAL GOODYEAR STORE. ON 05/05/2019 MY GRANDDAUGHTER WITH HER ONE YEAR OLD BABY IN THE BACK CAR SEAT. WERE APPROACHING THE FREEWAY, WHILE STILL ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP THE FRONT TIRE TOTALLY BLEW OUT AND DISINTEGRATED. THERE WAS LESS THAN 10% OF TIRE LEFT ON THE WHEEL. SHE PULLED OFF ONTO THE GRASS AND WAITED FOR ASSISTANCE FROM THE HIGHWAY PATROL. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO THE ALUMINUM RIMS, AS SHE DIDN'T DRIVE ANY FARTHER. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BLOWOUT DISINTEGRATE MORE THAN NINETY PERCENT OF THE TIRE. I AM NOT AN EXPERT, BUT THIS SURE LOOKS LIKE A DEFECT IN THE TIRE ITSELF. ONCE AGAIN ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE TO MY ALUMINUM RIM.

WHEN HEATER ACTIVATED, ONLY DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS HEAT WHILE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD. VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE DUAL AIR CONTROLS. CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WINDSHIELD ONLY DEFROSTS ONE SIDE AND OTHER SIDE FOGS UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO HEAT THE VEHICLE AND ACTIVATE THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER, THE CONTACT REALIZED THAT THE FEATURES WERE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALSO, MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE ACTUATOR DOORS. INDEPENDENT DEALER CUT AND OPEN THE DASH AND FOUND HEATER CORE WAS PLUGGED WITH SILICONE AND DUST PARTICALS FROM WHEN FACTORY PUT ENGINE TOGETHER. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *BF *JB

WHEN OPENING THE DOOR A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE DASH. CLOSED THE DOOR AND STAYED INSIDE A FEW MINUTES & IT STARTED CLICKING AGAIN. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIE RODS AT 63,000 AND THE SWAY BAR CLIP IS BROKEN.

HEATER DEFROST OR AIR-CONDITIONING. DOESN'T DEFROST THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW.

DRIVING CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON THAT IS NOT GOOD AND I THINK IT IS NOT SAFE

THERE IS NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT THERE IS HEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THERE SEEMS TO BE A MECHANICAL DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STALLED ON A HILL IN PARK AND STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL AND THE BRAKE AND EVERYTHING STOPPED WORKING AT THAT MOMENT IN THE CAR. I ALSO HAD ANOTHER INCIDENT WITH THE CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND DUE TO THIS IT CAUSED ANOTHER ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS ALSO WELL KEPT, BUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE A MECHANICAL DEFECT

AC STARTS TO ONLY BLOW COLD AIR ON ONE SIDE OF THE CAR, THEN NO HEAT AT ALL. DEFROST STOPS WORKING AT THIS POINT. VERY DANGEROUS WITH SNOW/ICY CONDITIONS WHERE WINDSHIELD FROSTS OVER. MAY BE THE DOOR ACTUATOR OR HEATER CORE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN THE HEAT/DEFROST IS ON. THIS CAUSES MY PASSENGER WINDOW TO NOT DEFROST. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER IF THE CAR IS AT IDLE OR WHILE DRIVING. THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL ONLY BLOW COLD AIR. THE DRIVER SIDE HEAT/DEFROST WORKS FINE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S ANYTHING FROM AN ACTUATOR TO THE HEATER CORE. I LIVE IN A STATE WHERE WE HAVE COLD WINTERS AND FREQUENT SNOW. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT IMPAIRS MY ABILITY TO SEE MY PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR, ETC.

HEATER CORE PLUGGED DESPITE FOLLOWING COOLANT SERVICE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. SYMPTOM WAS BARELY WARM AIR FROM DRIVERS SIDE AND COLD AIR FROM PASSENGER SIDE VENTS. REPAIRED AT A COST OF $1800 IN JAN 2018. IN FEB 2019 THE SYMPTOMS HAVE RETURNED. NO HEAT IN THE CAR CAN BE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION IN THE NORTHERN STATES WHERE TEMPERATURES HAVE REACH LIFE THREATENING LOWS IN RECENT WEEKS.

RECURRING HEATER PROBLEM WHERE THERE IS SOME HEAT ON DRIVER'S SIDE AND NONE ON PASSENGER SIDE. HAD CAR IN 3 TIMES TO FLUSH HEATER CORE TO TEMPORARILY FIX PROBLEM. THIS IS AN APPARENT MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT CANNOT BE RESOLVED WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS. A NEW HEATER CORE IS THE ONLY SOLUTION AND THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY DODGE SINCE IT IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH THE PLATING IN THE SYSTEM COMING LOOSE AND PLUGGING THE HEATER CORE.

THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE LOSES POWER...COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, COLD AIR EMERGED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THERE WAS NO HEAT COMING FROM THE FLOOR VENTS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FREEDOM CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM BY ED MORSE (815 E CAMP WISDOM RD, DUNCANVILLE, TX 75116, (972) 427-4019) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL COOLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE RADIATOR WAS CLOGGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,135.

MY CAR ONE DAY JUST STARTED BLOWING COLD AIR WHEN MY HEATER IS ON. I TALKED TO THE DEALER SHIP AND SAID IT WAS A ACTUATOR THAT HAD GONE OUT. I MENTIONED TO THEM ABOUT SEEING ONLINE THAT A SOME OTHER AVENGER OWNERS WHERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT IT WAS CAUSED BUT SAND AND METAL FLAKES LEFT OVER FROM CASTING FILLING UP THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR. AFTER MY SECOND TRIP BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT THEY TOLD ME THAT MY HEATER CORE WAS BURNT UP AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I TOOK IT TO A RADIATOR SHOP AND ASKED FOR A SECOND OPINION AND WAS TOLD THAT AFTER LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM AND LOOKING AT THE HEATER CORE THAT IT WAS NOT BURNT UP AND THO IT COULD USE A GOOD FLUSHING WAS NOT THE ISSUE.

TOLD HEATER CORE WAS BAD AT 57,000 MILES BY DEALERSHIP DUE TO NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE BUT HEAT ON DRIVER'S SIDE AND IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN THIS CAR. CAR IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED.

HEATER CORE IS BLOCKED WITH CASTING SAND FROM ENGINE MANUFACTURING PROCESS MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO INOPERABLE DEFROST OR HEAT. WINDSHIELD ICED OVER WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE.

I WAS ON A HILL ABOUT TO TURN ONTO THE FREEWAY WHEN MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF/STALLED. I WAS MOVING ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR AND WHEN I WENT TO TURN RIGHT I FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, AT WHICH POINT I REALIZED MY VEHICLE HAD STALLED. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE WITHIN THE LAST YEAR.

MY COOLING SYSTEM IS CONTAMINATED BY INFERIOR PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED WITHIN MY DODGE AVENGER. MATERIAL/S WITHIN THE COOLING SYSTEM FAIL AND CAUSE DEBRIS TO BUILD UP WITHIN THE ENTIRE COOLING SYSTEM. THIS MATERIAL/S IS A SANDY LIKE SUBSTANCE THAT BLOCKS CRITICAL COOLING AND HEATING COMPONENTS THAT HAS LEAD TO MAJOR FAILURES OF MY HEATING SYSTEM VIA THE DEBRIS BLOCKING THE HEATER CORE FROM FUNCTIONING. I CERTAIN THAT THIS DEBRIS IS ALSO AFFECTING MY ENGINE'S COOLING FUNCTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE HEATER WOULD NOT OPERATE AND THE WINDOWS COULD NOT BE DEFROSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO FLUSHED THE HEATER CORE, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. DURING THE FAILURE, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE AND ESP ACTIVATION MALFUNCTION INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000. *BF. CONSUMER STATED MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED ON THE SAME DAY. *JB

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A 2012 DODGE AVENGER R/T. LIKE MANY OTHER AVENGERS, THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING. I GET NOTHING BUT COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH, AND THIS IS A MANAFACTURER DEFECT THAT RESULTS FROM BAD CASTING THAT CAUSES METAL FLAKES TO BREAK OFF AND FILL UP THE HEATER CORE UNTIL IT BECOMES SO CLOGGED THAT IT STOPS WORKING PROPERLY. A SIMPLE FLUSH WILL NOT DO THE JOB, AND THE HEATER CORE MUST BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I HIGHLY BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, DUE TO THE FACT THAT VISIBILITY IS SEVERELY DECREASED IN WINTER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS NOT ONLY PUTS THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN DANGER, BUT OTHER VEHICES AND PEDESTRIANS AS WELL.

TAKATA RECALL THE DODGE AVENGER 2012 HAS MESSED UP HEATING SYSTEMS. THE LEFT DRIVERS SIDE IS HOT, THEN AS YOU GO TO THE PASSENGER SIDE IT IS ICE COLD. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAYS THE COLD DOESNT GO AWAY. IT STAYS COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THE WHOLE TIME. THE HOTTEST ONE IS LEFT OF THE WHEEL. THEN RIGHT OF THE WHEEL IS LUKEWARM. THEN PASSENGERS LEFT HEATER IS COLD AND PASSENGERS RIGHT HEATER IS FREEZING. DURING THE WINTER IT GETS TO BE -20 OUTSIDE. THERE IS NO WAY I AM ABLE TO DRIVE IN THAT SINCE MY CAR WONT HEAT UP CORRECTLY. NO AUTO SHOP IS ABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL SO WE ARE ABLE TO DRIVE IN COLD WEATHER AND HAVE OUR HEAT ON. PLEASE STABILIZE THE HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM TO WHERE IT IS ALL EVEN FOR EVERY HEATER.

HEATER CORE FAILURE. NOTICED THE 2012 DODGE AVENGER PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT BLOWING HOT AIR. INSTEAD THE AIR WAS COMING OUT COLD NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE TEMPERATURE WAS ADJUSTED. EVEN AFTER DRIVING TO DESTINATIONS THE HEAT NEVER WORKED FO THE PASSENGER SIDE. ONLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE HOT AIR WORKS. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DID A FLUSH 3 TIMES BECAUSE THEY SAID GUNK CAN SOMETIMES BUILD UP ON THOSE CARS IN PARTICULAR, HOWEVER IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS THE HEATER CORE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 63K MILES SO THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT A CAR WITH LOW MILEAGE SHOULD EXPERIENCE.

MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE HOOD WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FWY. I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR BECAUSE THE BRAKE BECAME LOCKED IN PLACE AND I COULDNT PRESS IT DOWN WITH MY FOOT. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DID NOT WORK. IT WAS UNSAFE TO GET OUT OF THE MOVING CAR, SO I WAS TRAPPED IN THE CAR AS THE FIRE UNDER THE HOOD GREW RAPIDLY. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT AND WITH QUICK THINKING, I USED THE CURB AT THE END OF THE FWY OFF RAMP TO HELP ME STOP THE CAR. WHEN FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED, THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, CHRYSLER/DODGE HAS HAD REAPEATED COMPLAINTS REGARDING SIMILAR INCIDENTS.

HEAT DOES NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM HE WORKS FINE ON THE DRIVER SIDE

COLD AIR BLOWING OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE VENTS, WHEN HEAT IS COMING OUT OF DRIVERS SIDE. I HAD THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED, THE RADIATOR FLUSHED, THE HEATER CORE CHECKED. I REPLACED THE HEATER BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR AND THE BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL MODULE AND RESISTER AND STILL HAVE COLD AIR COMING OUT OF THE VENTS.

I HAVE A 2012 DODGE AVENGER V6 WITH ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE HEAT WORKING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS TO WHAT CAUSED IT THERE IS SAND PARTIALS IN THE COOLING SYSTEM FROM THE SAND FORGING OF THE MOTOR AND WHERE THERE WAS NOT PROPER FLUSHING OF THE COOLING SYSTEM BEFORE THE ASSEMBLY OF THE MOTOR. IT IS A CLOSED SYSTEM SO THERE IS NO WAY THAT SAND PARTIALS CAN ENTER THE SYSTEM AND CAUSE THAT ISSUE. DODGE BELIEVES THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE WITH IT AND IT IS A "CREATURE COMFORT", BUT WHEN IN FACE THE HEAT DEFROSTS THE WINDOWS TO ENABLE VISIBILITY. WITH NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SOME OF THE DRIVER SIDE IS UNABLE TO DEFOG, DEFROST, OR MELT ANY ICE OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THIS IS NOT A DRIVER ISSUE, THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR BUT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR.

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH FOUND THE ISSUE IS ONE OF TWO THINGS, 1ST HEATER CORE LOCATION CAUSING IT TO PLUG WITH SAND, AND COSTING 100'S OF DOLLARS TO HAVE REPAIRED ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN AND 2ND HEATER BLEND DOOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I'VE HAD THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ONLY A FEW WEEKS. NOW NO HEAT AGAIN ON PASSENGER SIDE.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2012. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS WITH NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS CAUSES NO TO LITTLE VISIBILITY ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. I HAVE PAID TO HAVE SOME OF THE VENDOR DOORS REPLACED TO NO FIX TO THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2012 DODGE AVENGER SXT PLUS. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH A HEATING ISSUE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW. I FINALLY FLUSHED THE HEATER CORE AND AM FINDING SAND THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE ME TO HAVE TO REPLACE ALL THE COMPONENTS. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THIS IS A CASTING ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. I HAVE SAMPLES OF THE SAND AS WELL IF NEEDED. IF I HAD DRIVEN THIS MUCH LONGER THE ENGINE MAY HAVE LOCKED UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VENTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE BLEW OUT COLD AIR WHEN THE HEAT WAS ACTIVATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FLUSHED THE RADIATOR, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNCERTAIN IF IT WOULD COVER THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

I HAVE A 2012 DODGE AVENGER THAT HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE HEATER FOR A WHILE NOW. IT BLOWS COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND WARM AIR ON THE DRIVERS, COLD IN THE MIDDLE. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR ABS THIS ONLY GOT RID OF THE CLICKING NOISE, IT DID NOT FIX THE HEAT ISSUE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHY THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN DEALT WITH YET AND WHY IT'S NOT RECALLED.

NO HEAT IN CENTER OR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. WINDOWS WILL NOT DEFROST. ONLY GETTING HEAT ON LEFT WINDOW AND DRIVERS SIDE DEFROST. DOES IT STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING. REPLACED CONTROLS, HEAT PUMP ETC. STILL NOT WORKING.

HEAT DOESN'T WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE.

THE HEATING SYSTEM IN THE DODGE AVENGERS HAVE PERSISTENT PROBLEMS. THIS USUALLY INVOLVES THE HEATER CORE. THE HEAT WILL OFTEN FAIL ON ONE OR BOTH SIDES. USUALLY THE PASSENGER SIDE FAILS. MY HEATER FAILED IN 2016, THEN FAILED AGAIN LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER IN 2018. REPAIRING THE HEATER COSTS ABOUT $1200. THE DODGE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THIS IS CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WHEN DODGE PUT "STOP-LEAK" INTO THE ENGINES DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. I'M TOLD THE STOP-LEAK BREAKS OFF INSIDE THE ENGINE THROUGH TIME AND DESTROYS THE HEATER IN THE DODGE AVENGER, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS AT ABOUT $1200 FOR THE REPAIR. I'VE DISCOVERED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE AT THE WEB SITE BELOW. THERE IS NO RECALL I'M AWARE. REQUEST A RECALL OF AFFECTED VEHICLES ORE FREE REPAIR BY DODGE WHEN THE HEATER BREAKS. HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/AVENGER/2012/AC_HEATER/HEATER_NOT_WORKING_PROPERLY.SHTML

MY HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR OUT OF THREE OF THE FOUR VENTS WHEN THE HEATER IS TURNED ON. FOR ONE YEAR THERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND BEHIND THE DASHBOARD AT RANDOMS TIMES DURING THE DAY AND NIGHT IF THE CAR WAS ON OR OFF IT DIDN'T MATTER THE CLICKING COULD BE HEARD INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. AT THIS TIME WHEN THE HEATER WAS IN USE, COLD AIR WOULD BLOW OUT OF THE 2 PASSENGER VENTS ONLY. AS TIME GOES ON THE VENTS ARE BEING AFFECTED ONE BY ONE. I NOW HAVE ONLY ONE VENT THAT BLOWS WARM AIR WHEN THE HEAT IS ON AND THE OTHERS BLOW COLD AIR.

THE DEFROSTER AND HEATER VENTS ONLY PUT OUT HEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLVE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE HEATER CORE NEEDED REPLACEMENT FO THIS SAME PROBLEM. COST IS AROUND $1,000 TO DO THE REPAIR. ALL HAVE BEEN REPLACE BY A DODGE DEALER. THE LAST TIME REPAIRED A SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. POOR DESIGN AND RESPONSE. DODGE CORPORATE IS USELESS ON THIS MATTER.

ONE DAY CAR CUT OFF AS SOON AS I GOT HOME AND IT NEVER CAME ON AGAIN GOT THE ALTERNATOR REPLACE AND BATTERY CHARGED UP AND IT STILL WILL NOT START AND THE MECHANIC CANT FIND THE PROBLEM.

MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER HAS HEATING ISSUE. HEAT COMES OUT OF THE VENT ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR BUT COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE LOOKED THE ISSUE UP AND ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THE ISSUE WITH 2012 AVENGER NOT BEING ADDRESSED. I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR IN UPSTATE NEW YORK IN THE WINTER BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. I CAMT SEE OUT ANY OF MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS OR RIGHT SIDE OF DASH BECAUSE IT ALL FOGGED UP AND FROSTED DUE TO NO HEAT IN THAT SIDE OF CAR.

MY HEAT STOPPED WORKING ON HALF OF MY CAR AND I FLUSHED THE HEATER CORE AND REPLACED THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK.

TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED. FIRST WAS IN NOVEMBER 2018. I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE VEHICLE FLASHED THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR LIGHT ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE CAR LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 25MPH. BROUGHT TO DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY COULDN'T CHECK THE ETC LIGHT DUE TO IT SHUTTING OFF WITH RESTART OF THE VEHICLE BUT WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ALTERNATOR. FIXED THE ALTERNATOR AND NO PROBLEMS AGAIN UNTIL JANUARY 2019. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AND THE CAR FLASHED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND DIED WHILE IN MOTION. POWER STEERING WAS VERY TIGHT BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. AFTER 4 TRIES OF RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, IT STARTED BACK UP BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I WILL BE TAKING IT BACK TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN HOPES OF FINDING OUT WHAT IS WRONG, BUT AM NERVOUS BECAUSE OF WHAT I HAVE READ AMONGST OTHER AVENGER OWNERS.

PASSENGER SIDE HEATER/DEFROSTER VENTS BLOW COLD AIR, WHILE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS WARM AIR.

AT ALL TIMES - HOT AIR ONLY BLOWING ON DRIVER SIDE.

PROBLEM: HEAT DOES NOT COME OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE VENT. AFTER A MONTH OR TWO, NO HEAT AT ALL. THE HEATER CORE WAS REPLACED ON THIS PIECE OF JUNK 3 TIMES (WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM EACH TIME). NOW THE DEALER SAYS THE PART IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, AND THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE IT FOR FREE AGAIN. THIS IS HAPPENING TO 2012 AVENGERS. NOT JUST THIS ONE. IT HAPPENED FEB 2014, NOV 2014, AND NOV 2015. I DONT DRIVE THIS MUCH AND NOW ITS TOO LONG SINCE THE LAST FIX (NO MORE WARRANTY COVERAGE). DODGE KNOWS THERE IS BUILD UP IN THE HEATER CORE WITH THIS YEAR/MODEL. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. IT WAS A NOT A WEAR AND TEAR OR AGE OF VEHICLE ISSUE. I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW. THIS WAS A PROBLEM BEFORE IT LEFT THE FACTORY. I HAVE THREE DODGES AND YOU CAN GUARANTEE I WONT BUY ANOTHER (ILL CONSIDER IF/WHEN THEY MAKE THIS RIGHT) PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED INVOICES FROM THE DEALER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY MANY MANY DODGE 2012 AVENGERS. THEY KNOW THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE AND A TELEPHONE POLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE AGENCY. THE CONTACT CALLED HILL-KELLY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (6171 PENSACOLA BLVD, PENSACOLA, FL 32505, (850) 972-2050) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BEYOND REPAIR. THE CAUSE OF THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT*JB

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS A PASSENGER IN A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END CRASH AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED INCORRECTLY, WHICH INJURED THE CONTACT. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS RECEIVED. THE AIR BAGS WERE REPLACED FROM THE ORIGINAL TAKATA AIR BAGS. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER'S INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE AND DECLARED IT DESTROYED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. *TT*JB CONSUMER STATED VIN UPDATED, CONSUMER WAS A PASSENGER NOT THE OWNER. *JB *DT PHOTOS ATTACHED 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

THERE IS NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE, INCLUDING DEFROST. I LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE AND NOT HAVING DEFROST TO CLEAR MY WINDSHIELD IS HAZARDOUS. I WAS QUOTED OVER 1200$ TO FIX THIS AND TOLD IT IS A REGULAR ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. THE HEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED SINCE THE LACK OF HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE.PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING PROBLEM

2012 DODGE AVENGER. 80K MILES. HEATING ISSUE: MY HEAT ONLY BLOWS "WARM" AIR OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE VENT. IT IS NOT EVEN HOT AIR, JUST WARM. THE OTHER VENTS ARE BLOWING COLD AIR. THE HEATER ACTUATOR DOOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE - NO IMPROVEMENT. THE THERMOSTAT HAS BEEN REPLACED - NO IMPROVEMENT. THE HEATER CORE HAS BEEN FLUSHED - NO IMPROVEMENT. AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES IT WILL WARM SLIGHTLY, BUT STILL VERY COLD IN THE CAR DURING THE WINTER.

WHEN USING HEAT/DEFROST COLD AIR BLOWS FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS. THIS CAUSES PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD TO FOG OVER WHEN ITS COLD OUTSIDE. ALSO, THE COLD AIR BEING BLOWN FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS WILL NOT MELT/DEFROST ICE AND SNOW ON PASSENGER SIDE IF WINDOWS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR, BUT DIDGE WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE ISSUE AFTER WARRANTY IS EXPIRED.

THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE HEATING SYSTEM THAT AIDS IN KEEPING WINDOWS DEFROSTED. EVERY VENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY BLOWS OUT COLD AIR, WHILE THE DRIVERS SIDE IS WARM. THE WINDSHIELD & ALL WINDOWS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT DEFROST CAUSE EXTREME VISIBILITY ISSUES.

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH "CLICKING" SOUND COMING FROM BEHIND GLOVEBOX WHEN HEAT OR AIR WAS TURNED ON. WOULD STOP CLICKING AFTER ABOUT 30 TO 45 SECONDS. THAT WENT OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR. NOW, THERE IS ONLY HOT AIR COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE VENTS AND COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN HEAT IS ON. IT NO LONGER CLICKS WHEN THE BLOWER IS ON BUT ONLY HAVE HEAT TO ONE SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS REGARDLESS IF THE CAR IS PARKED OR IN MOTION.

MY HEATER IS NOT BLOWING OUT HOT AIR. I WAS TOLD THAT CASTING SAND WAS IN THE COOLING RESERVOIR THAT'S CAUSING THE HEATER TO NOT BLOW OUT HOT AIR AND THAT THE CASTING SAND WILL CAUSE SLUDGE IN MY COOLING SYSTEM. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS NO FAULT OF MY MAKING AND THIS HAPPENED AT THE MANUFACTURING PLANT DODGE WILL NOT FIX THEIR MISTAKE NOR IS IT COVERED BY MY LIFETIME ADDED CARE PLUS WARRANTY.

IN APRIL 2018 AND AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2018 MY CAR STALLED, COMPLETELY DIED WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A HILL. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS WAS ON A HILL, HEADING TO A HIGHWAY ENTRY.

HEATER CORE. BLOWS HOT AIR ON DRIVER'S SIDE, COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE ALL THE TIME WHEN USING HEATER.

THE HEAT HAS STOPPED WORKING ON THE PASSANGER SIDE MAKING THE DEFROSTER NOT TO WORK. THOS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO ADDRESSED.

MY CAR IS BLOWING COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I JUST HAD THE HEATER CORE AND THE ACTUATOR DOOR REPLACED BACK IN THE SUMMER AND IT COST US OVER 2000.00. THIS ISSUE STARTED BACK IN FEBRUARY AND WE WAITED UNTIL SUMMER TO FIX IT BUT NOW A FEW WEEKS INTO THE COLD WEATHER AND HERE WE GO AGAIN. THE HEAT WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BLOWING COLD AIR AGAIN . I CALLED DODGE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT BUT THERE WAS NO RECALLS SO THEY STATED THAT I HAD TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED AGAIN. THE PLACE THAT FIXED IT STATED THAT THE HEATER CORE HAS LIKE A FILM THAT BREAKS OFF AND THE PARTICLES BLOCK THE HEAT. THERE IS SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES BUT MANY CALLS TO DODGE AND THEY WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. CAN YOU HELP, I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS AGAIN! AND I HAVE A 30 MILE COMMUTE TO WORK, NOW I AM SICK FROM BEING SO COLD DAILY.

HEATER CORE PER DODGE DEALERSHIP IS STOPPED UP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE HEAT WOULDN'T GET UP TO A SATISFACTORY TEMPERATURE, THEY TESTED IT & SAID THEY COULD TRY FLUSHING BUT THEY THOUGHT IT NEEDED REPLACING.

HEATER AND DEFROST DO NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, LEAVING HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP. THIS CAUSES BAD VISIBILITY ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE (DODGE AVENGER)

SINCE 2016, MY CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IS NOW STARTING TO LOSE HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE HAD GREAT UP-KEEP ON MY CAR AND GET IT FIXED ON A REGULAR BASES. DURING THE WINTER MY CAR IS FREEZING COLD. IT IS ONLY LETTING HEAT OUT ON THE FAR LEFT DRIVER SIDE VENT AND THIS IS STARTING TO BLOW COLD AIR TOO. IT TAKES FOREVER TO WARM THE INSIDE OF MY CAR OR NEVER WARMS UP AT ALL. I'M UNSURE WHAT THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM IS THAT I SEE IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR. BEING IN THE MILITARY I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GET THIS FIX. IT IS TOTALLY A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND NEED TO FIXED IMMEDIATELY.

THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE IN THE DASH DUE TO THE A/C SYSTEM. THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE IN MANY CARS AND REFUSES TO FIX IT. IT APPEARED JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER THE A/C OR FAN IS RUNNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEFROST SYSTEM FAILED TO OPERATE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEFROST SYSTEM FAILED TO CLEAR THE WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH AFFECTED HIS VISION WHILE DRIVING. UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT SAND ENTERED THE COOLANT SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

DRIVER SIDE VENTS BLOW HOT AIR AND ALL PASSANGER SIDE VENTS BLOW COLD AIR.

THIS ISSUE IS A DEFECTIVE HEATER CORE. CASTING AND METAL SHAVINGS CLOG HEATER CORE TO WHERE YOUR CAR CANNOT HEAT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF YOUR CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE CAR NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO DEFROST FRONT AND BACK WIND SHIELDS DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE PROBLEM ARISES WITH HOW TO THE HEATER SITS BEHIND THE DASH. IT CAUSES THIS ISSUE TO REPEAT EVEN IF HEATER CORE IS REPLACED. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS A $1,000 PLUS REPAIR THAT WILL REPEATEDLY OCCUR NEARLY EVERY YEAR OR SO.

WINDOW DEFROST AND PASSENGER HEAT /AIR. WHILE EITHER IN MOTION OR WHILE DRIVING, NO HEATED AIR EXITS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER, NOR THE PASSENGER WINDOW DEFROST, LOWER AND CENTER CONSOLE VENTS. HEATED AIR ONLY EXITS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER'S SIDE DASH VENTS. PROBLEM PERSISTS THROUGH ALL CABIN AIR MODES, AND CIRCULATIONS. THIS SAFETY ISSUE EFFECTS VISIBILITY AND PASSENGER SAFETY BY FAILING TO DEFROST/DEFOG WINDOWS AND KEEPING CABIN TEMPURATURES NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING DURING COLD WEATHER (BLOWING COLD AIR INTO THE CABIN)

THE AC HEATER DOES NOT HEAT ON THE MIDDLE AND RIGHT VENTS. THE ONLY ONE THAT HEATS IS THE DRIVER SIDE VENT. I NOTICED IT WHEN IT WAS WINTER OF THE ISSUE. THERE ARE ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE

NO HEAT OR DEFROST ON PASSENGERS SIDE OF VEHICLE: I FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE WINDOW HAS FROST ON IT OR FOGS DURING DRIVING. ON NOVEMBER 20, 2017 I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO HEAT OR DEFROST ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF CAR. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT THE HEATER CORE WAS PLUGGED. THE CAR WAS OUT OF THE DODGE WARRANTY AND THE AFTER MARKET WARRANTY I HAD BOUGHT WITH THE VEHICLE FELT IT WAS FROM "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". DOING RESEARCH ON-LINE. I HAVE FOUND THAT DODGE KNOWS OF AN ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE AND SAND LEFT BEHIND DURING PRODUCTION BUT WON'T ADMIT TO IT. I AM HEADED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN (NOV 14, 2018) TO REPORT THAT THE REPAIR THAT THEY MADE LAST NOVEMBER NEEDS TO BE DONE AGAIN, I HAVE NO HEAT OR DEFROST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE WINDOW HAS FROST ON IT OR FOGS DURING DRIVING.

WHEN I USE THE HEATER THE PASSENGER SIDE VENT BLOWS FREEZING COLD AIR AND THE DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS HOT, AND IT DOESN'T HAVE DUAL CONTROL TEMPERATURE.

MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER JUST STARTING BLOWING COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, BUT HEAT STILL WORKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE.

THE HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS BLOWING OUT WARM AIR WHILE THE VENTS ABOVE THE RADIO AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ARE BLOWING OUT COLD AIR. TURNING THE CAR OFF OR TURNING THE AIR FROM COLD TO HOT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. DEFROST IS NOT GETTING WARM ENOUGH TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS

WHEN HEAT OR AC IS TURNED ON EITHER IN MOTION OR NOT THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER DASHBOARD ABOUT FIVE CLICKS AND THE CLICKS WILL STOP AND THE HEAT WILL COME OUT OF DRIVER SIDE, BUT COOL AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. IF TURNED OFF AND BACK ON IT WILL REPEAT THE FIVE CLICKING NOISE AND THE HEAT WILL KICK ON. ALSO THIS "HEAT" IS LUKEWARM AT BEST.

HEATER CORE ISSUES FROM FACTORY FAIL BECAUSE OF SAND BUILT UP IN HEATER CORE SO NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE AND CAUSES WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP IMPAIRING VISSION

HEAT AND DEFROST ON PASSENGER SIDE ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. ONLY 1/2 OF WINDSHIELD FROST CLEARS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD AND WINDOW FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC, PEDESTRIANS, ETC. WHEN FIRST TURNING ON, PASSENGER SIDE CLICKS FOR 30 -60 SECONDS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMENT ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN!

HEATER AND DEFROSTER ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE HAVE STOPPED WORKING. MECHANIC STATED IT WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ISSUE WITH THE HEATING CORE AND RADIATOR, BUT DODGE WILL NOT COVER REPAIR EXPENSES. LACK OF DEFROSTER ON PASSENGER SIDE POSES SEVERE SAFETY RISKS DUE TO LACK ON VISIBILITY, ESPECIALLY DURING COLD WEATHER.

HEAT ONLY WORKS ON DRIVER SIDE , COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE

DO NOT HAVE HEAT FOR PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. HOT AIR BLOWES OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE BUT ONLY COLLD AIR FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE . DOES NOT DEFROST WINDSHEILD , CREATING VISIBILTY SAFETY HAZARD. THIS IS LIKE THIS WHEN I STOPPED OR MOVING

WINDOW DEFROST AND PASSENGER HEAT /AIR. WHILE EITHER IN MOTION OR WHILE DRIVING, NO HEATED AIR EXITS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER, NOR THE PASSENGER WINDOW DEFROST, LOWER AND CENTER CONSOLE VENTS. HEATED AIR ONLY EXITS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER'S SIDE DASH VENTS. PROBLEM PERSISTS THROUGH ALL CABIN AIR MODES, AND CIRCULATIONS. THIS SAFETY ISSUE EFFECTS VISIBILITY AND PASSENGER SAFETY BY FAILING TO DEFROST/DEFOG WINDOWS AND KEEPING CABIN TEMPURATURES NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING DURING COLD WEATHER (BLOWING COLD AIR INTO THE CABIN).

TAKATA RECALL ALSO HEATER CORE ISSUE. HEAT ONLY BLOWS ON DRIVERS SIDE WHEN SET TO HEAT AND COLD AIR BLOWS ON PASSENGER SIDE. SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER BUT THEY DO NOT WANT TO FORCE A RECALL. TRANSMISSION ALSO SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN STOPPING AND AT TIMES BEFORE ACCELERATION. NO DIP STICK TO VERIFY FLUID LEVEL. DEALER STATES NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY STATED THEY FLUSHED HEATER CORE AND STILL HAVE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS DRIVING IN WINTER OR SUMMER ON HIGHWAY, CITY STREETS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HEAT WAS NOT COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS AND THE DEFROSTER FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BARBERA AUTOLAND (7810 E ROOSEVELT BLVD, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19152, (215) 333-3700) AND THEY STATED THAT SINCE THE CORE TUBE WAS NOT FULLY CORRODED ON THE HEATING SYSTEM, IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

PASSENGER SIDE HAD KNOCKING AFTER USING AC. COLD WEATHER CAME AND NOW MY HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT WORK. I'VE LOOKED THIS UP AND SEE LOTS OF OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND PEOPLE ARE PAYING WELL OVER $1K TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I CANNOT AFFORD THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT FOR THE DODGE. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

SINCE OCTOBER 2015 IVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DEFROSTING OF THE FRONT WILDSHIELD IN COLDER WEATHER. THIS REDUCES VISABILITY AND WITH SAFELY OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE LEFT OR DRIVERS SIDE GETS WARM BUT THE RIGHT OR PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS ONLY COLD AIR. THIS DOES NOT ALLOW THE REMOVAL OF ICE OR FOG OFF THE WINDSHIELD THUS NOT ALLOWING YOU TO SEE COMPLETELY WHILE IN MOTION. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURER DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. IT IS A VERY COSTLY FIX AND I FEEL MANY LIKE MYSELF CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR AND WILL ONE DAY IF NOT ALREADY COST IN HUMAN LIFE. MY VEHICLE STARTED WITH THESE ISSUES AT AROUND 30,000 MILES BUT DUE TO TIME RESTRICTIIN OF VEHICLE WARRANTY IT IS NOT A COVERED REPAIR. VEHICLE IS NOW AT 60,000 AND ISSUE SEVERLY AFFECTS VISIBILITY AND SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURE ON VARIOUS MODELS AND YEARS.

PASSENGER SIDE HEATER BLOWING COLD AIR DURING ALL OPERATION PHASES. DEALER STATED DUE TO SAND CASTING FROM THE ALUMINUM BLOCK PLUGGING THE HEATER CORE. THE VEHICLE HAS CLOSE TON 50K MILES.

ACTUATOR TICKING NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE

HEATER CORE ISSUES LEAD TO INABILITY TO DEFROST WINDOWS AND EXCESS FOG IN THE CABIN.

MY HEAT ALL OF A SUDDEN STOP BLOWING HOT OR EVEN WARM. I AM UNABLE TO DEFROST MY CAR IN THE VEHICLE OR KEEP MY CHILDREN AND I WARM AND I AM EXPECTING A INFANT ANY DAY. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS FROM CASING SAND CLOGGING THE RADIATOR, HEATER CORE AND THE OIL COOLER. THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. A FLUSH OF THE RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. THE COST IS $1200 AND I DON'T THAT KIND OF MONEY RIGHT NOW AND IT IS TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO DO THIS WINTER.

THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT BLOW HOT AIR PREVENTING THE DEFROST ON THAT SIDE.

THE HEAT IN MY VEHICLE WORKS ONLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE MIDDLE AND PASSENGER SIDE VENTS BLOW OUT COOL OR COLD AIR WHEN THE HEAT IS ON. THE HEAT ONLY WORKS WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE REPLACED TUBING AND BOTH THERMOSTATS AND THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED.

MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER RT HAS NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. NOT ONLY IS THIS UNCOMFORTABLE, IT IS ALSO UNSAFE AS THIS LEADS TO THE WINDSHIELD NOT BEING ABLE TO BE DEFROSTED. MANY SITES I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. DODGE NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS AND FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD.

MY 2012 AVENGER RT IS AT 72600 MILES. BEFORE LAST WINTER WHEN I WAS AT ABOUT 60K MILES ESTIMATED, MY PASSENGER SIDE HEAT STOPPED WORKING. ONLY COLD AIR WILL BLOW FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MAKE/MODEL BUT YET IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THE EXPENSE I HAVE SEEN IS BETWEEN $1000 TO $3000 DOLLARS WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE. FIRST DODGE I HAVE OWNED AND WILL PROBABLY BE MY LAST AS WELL. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE ISSUE WAS WHEN WINTER FIRST CAME AND WE COULDN'T TAKE MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS TOO COLD FOR MY GIRLFRIEND TO RIDE IN.

NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR, COME FROM THE DEFROSTER AND HEATER VENTS. ONLY COLD AIR, FINE ON DRIVERS SIDE.THIS IS THE SECOND TIME

THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE HEATING SYSTEM MALFFUNCTION, SO THE PASSAENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST AND IT CAUSES A SERIOUS VISIBILITY/SAFETY HAZARD DURING THE COLD SEASON, THE WINDSHIELD REMAINS FOGGED UP WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TO PULL UP SEVERAL TIMES ON THE FREEWAY TO MANUALLY SCRAPE FROST OFF THE OUTSIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AND MANUALLY WIPE THE MOISTURE OFF THE INTERIOR. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM CAUSED DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING PROCESS WHICH LEFT END PRODUCTS THAT RAPIDLY CLOGS AND DESTROYS THE HEATING SYSTEM. DEALERS WHO WERE CONFRONTED WITH COMPLAINS ADMITS TO THIS. DODGE AVENGER 2012 OWNERS COMPLAINED THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE HEATER CORES AND RADIATORS, SOME AS EARLY AS 12000 MILES AND THE COST RUNS FROM $1200 TO $3000. THE PROBLEM OFTEN REOCCURS WITHIN MONTHS BECAUSE EITHER THE DEALER USES THE SAME FAULTY PARTS OR THERE IS REMAINING RESIDUE IN THE SYSTEM. DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER IS NOT ONLY UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNHEALTHY, BUT CAUSES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINS IN SEVERAL AUTO FORUMS. MANY REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALERS WHICH ARE OVERLOOKED AND NEGLECTED. OWNERS WHO LIVE IN WARMER CLIMATES DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM OR THESE COMPLAINS WOULD OF BEEN MORE ENORMOUS. DODGE AVENGER 2000,S SHOULD BE RECALLED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, OR THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD DURING THE COLD SEASON FOR SAFETY REASONS. SOME DRIVERS MENTIONED HAVING TO HAVE A BLANKET FOR RIDERS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE TO USE WHILE TRAVELING WHICH ADDS TO THE HAZARD. NOTE: A DATE ENTRY IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THIS COMPLAIN BUT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM EVERY FALL AND WINTER.

PASSENGER SIDE DEFROST VENTS DO NOT BLOW HOT AIR, RESULTING IN POOR FORWARD VISIBILITY DUE TO FOG OR FROST.

THE HEATER IN THE CAR ONLY EMITS HOT AIR FROM DRIVERS SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR EVEN WHEN FULLY ENGAGED. THE COLD AIR COMING FROM HEATER/DEFROSTER CAUSES WINDSHIELD TO ICE AND/OR NOT CLEAR, AND THEREBY LIMITS DRIVERS VISIBILITY THROUGH PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TO DRIVE SLOWER THAN NORMAL TO BE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE WITH LIMITED VISIBILITY IN WINTER. I THEREFORE PRESENT A PROBLEM TO TRAFFIC APPROACHING FROM BEHIND ME ALSO.

THE HVAC SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. WHEN THE HEAT IT TURNED ON, IT WILL BLOW HEAT OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE BUT NOT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE AIR FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE IS COOL AIR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO RESEARCH I'VE DONE ON THE WEB, AND MOST PEOPLE SEEM TO THING THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT THAT SHOULD REQUIRE A RECALL.

HEATER ON PASSENGER SIDE STARTED BLOWING COLD AIR WHILE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS WARM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JIM COGDILL DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (8544 KINGSTON PIKE, KNOXVILLE, TN 37919) WHERE IT WAS INITIALLY DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000. *DT *JB

I BOUGHT MY 2012 AVENGER IN 2014 AND THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DON'T WORK IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE SALESMAN WAS THE ONE WHO NOTICED IT THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT, HOWEVER I DIDN'T GET AROUND TO FAST ENOUGH BECAUSE I HAD TO GO AWAY FOR THE ARMY AND SINCE I DIDN'T GET IT DONE RIGHT AWAY THEY VOIDED THE DEAL THEY MADE WITH ME. HERE I AM FOUR YEARS LATER STILL NO HEAT ON THAT SIDE OF THE CAR. I GOT MARRIED AND NOW HAVE A NEWBORN SON AT HOME AND HERE IT IS ABOUT TO BE WINTER AGAIN AND NO HEAT AND THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE AND NO WAY TO GET OUT OF THE LOAN TO PURCHASE A DIFFERENT CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR SEVERAL REASONS ONE BEING THE WINDOW DOESN'T DEFROST WHICH MAKES VISIBILITY CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE AND TWO IF MY FAMILY GETS STUCK ON THE ROAD SOMEWHERE WE WILL FREEZE TO DEATH.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEATER DOES NOT BLOW HOT AIR. HALF OF THE CAR IS COVERED IN FROST/CONDENSATION MAKING VISIBILITY ALMOST NON EXISTENT. IN HUMID OR COLD CLIMATES, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT DEFROST/DEFOG AT ANY POINT, MAKING DRIVING THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS. COSTS TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE COST ALMOST $3000 DOLLARS AND IS CAUSED BY A DEFECT WHEN MANUFACTURING THE VEHICLE. DODGE INTENTIONALLY ALLOWS THIS PRODUCT ON THE MARKET WITHOUT CLEANING THE METAL SAND FROM THE HEATING SYSTEM DURING PRODUCTION, KNOWING THAT THIS WILL BE AN ISSUE DOWN THE ROAD AFTER THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.

HEATER AND DEFROSTER FAILED ON PASSENGER SIDE. WINDSHIELD WILL NOT DEFROST CREATING LOSS OF VISION ON HALF OF WINDSHIELD AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS. THIS OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FROSTS / ICES OVER IN WINTER DUE TO LACK OF ANY DEFROSTER / VENT HEAT. HEAT IS DELIVERED NORMALLY TO DRIVERS SIDE WINDSHIELD. THE LACK OF VISIBILITY THROUGH HALF OF WINDSHIELD IN WINTER CONDITIONS CREATES AN UNSAFE CONDITION.

WHILE SITTING IN THE STATIONARY VEHICLE THE DRIVER SIDE ACTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYED WITH OUT BEING IN A COLLISION.

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND HAVE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 9 MONTHS. EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE, WE KEEP REGULAR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND THE HEAT STOPS WORKING THE IN THE CAR ENTIRELY. THE VENTS BLOW COOL AIR NO MATTER THE SETTING WHICH MEANS THE WIDOWS DO NOT DEFROST AT ALL. THIS IS DANGEROUS IN THE WINTER TIME CONSIDERING I CANNOT SEE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE, CAUSING NO CLEARING OF WINDOWS ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE, MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JACKSONVILLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM ARLINGTON (9600 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225, (877) 677-5782), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY HORN SOUNDING WHILE DRIVING AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE HORN CONTINUED TO SOUND WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT TIMES WITHOUT WARNING AND ON AUGUST 1, 2018 I WAS DRIVING AND IT WAS RAINING AND MY HORN STARTED SOUNDING AND I HAD MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AT THE TIME AND WHEN THE HORN SOUNDED THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING FOR A FEW SECONDS AND WHEN THE HORN STOPPED SOUNDING THE WIPERS BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT THE TIME.I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IF FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THEN DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE.

HEATER CORE LEAKING ABOVE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT'S GOING TO NEED TO BE REPLACED SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE.

MY DODGE AVENGER RECENTLY STARTED STALLING/SHUTTING DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. I LOOSE ALL POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES, I CANNOT CONTROL THE CAR. THANKFULLY THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED ON LOCAL ROADS. I AM TERRIFIED IF IT HAPPENS WHILE I AM ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH I TRAVEL EVERYDAY ON MY WAY TO WORK AND BACK.

TICKING NOISE COMING FROM DASHBOARD WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND WHEN IT IS TURNED OFF. PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN DRIVER SIDE BLOWS HOT.

VEHICLE WONT START AT TIMES HAS A RED LIGHTNING BOLT ALL GAUGES WORK JUST WONT START UNTIL JUMPED. ALSO WHEN USING THE HEATER HEAT ON DRIVERS SIDE AND COLD ON PASSENGERS SIDE.ONE IS THE ANTI THEFT WCM AND THE OTHER IS A HEATERCORE THAT DODGE HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE 1999 MODELS

THIS CARS HOOD HAS FLOWN UP AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, EVEN AFTER GETTING THE SAFETY LATCH REPLACED IT IS STILL FLYING UP WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH TO LOW SPEEDS.

THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WITH THE ABS LIGHT. HAD IT AND THE SENSOR CLEANED. TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME LIGHTS AND THE ENGINE LIGHT ARE COMING ON.

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR HAD BEEN HAVING THIS KNOCKING SOUND, AND THEN DEVELOPED THIS SOUND LIKE SOMETHING WAS STRETCHING INSIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE BATTER LIGHT CAM ON BUT THE CAR WAS OK. THE NEXT DAY IT CAME BACK ON THE AIR CONDITIONING CAME ON THEM WENT OFF ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS ON THE DASH KEPT COMING ON AND OFF. K STOPPED AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT, AND IT WOULD NOT START ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WERE ON THE FRITZ AND RESET. WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD IT WOULD NOT LET ME GO ABOVE 40 MPH AND THE RPM WENT UP TO LIKE 4.

S61 AIRBAG RECALL- I'VE HAD THIS ISSUES FIXED TWICE ALREADY AND I STILL HAVE THE ISSUE OF THE STANDING AIRBAG LIGHT. I'VE BEEN TOLD AS LONG AS THE LIGHT IS ON MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE CASES OF AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD NUMEROUS TIMES THAT BECAUSE THE S61 RECALL WAS COMPLETED. I SHOULD BE OK, BUT HOW CAN I BE SURE WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON. THE FIRST TIME I GOT THIS ITEM FIXED IT TOOK TWO WEEKS FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME BACK ON. THE SECOND TIME I GOT THIS ISSUE FIXED IT TOOK A MONTH OR SO SO FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO START COMING BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY. I'M SPENDING A LOT MORE TIME ON THE ROAD NOW AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME NOW. I'VE TAKEN IT IN FOR THE THIRD TIME, BUT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE THE ISSUE, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T THE ONES WHO DID THE FIRST TWO RECALLS. WHEN I AS FOR THEM TO PROVIDE ME WITH SOMETHING IN WRITING INCASE I GET IN A ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY STATING WHY THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT THEY AGREE TO DO SO, BUT I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND ANY REPAIRS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE COMPLETED. IM NOT SURE IF THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF RECALL, JUST HOPING SOMEONE CAN LOOK IT TO IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED AND THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM NORTH FORT WORTH (11200 N FREEWAY, FORT WORTH, TX 76177, (817) 642-7894) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

2012 DODGE AVENGER ACT PLUS. STOPPED HEATING ON PASSENGER SIDE AND ONLY DEFROSTS AND UNFOGS THE WINDOW ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS IS AN APPARENT MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT REQUIRES THE HEATER CORE TO BE REPLACED AS A REMEDY. I WOULD URGE DODGE TO DO A PROPER RE ALL BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY. THIS, FIRST, HAPPENED TO MY CAR WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE WINDOW WAS COVERED IN STEAM OR FOG (WHATEVER YOU CALL IT) AND THE BLOWER IN THE DASH WAS NOT CLEARING IT FOR PROPER VISIBILITY. I'M GLAD I DID NOT CRASH OR HURT SOMEONE BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE. AFTER I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND INVESTIGATED, I REALIZED THAT THE HEAT WAS NOT WORKING ON PASSENGER SIDE, IT ONLY BLEW COLD AIR, BUT DRIVER SIDE WAS WARM AIR. NOT IDEAL FOR COLD PA WINTERS AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL FOR AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I HOPE DODGE WILL RECALL THIS AND DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED, IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY. THERE ARE ENDLESS COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE THIS. STEP UP AND FIX IT!

WHEN USING CLIMATE CONTROLS THE AIR ON DRIVER SIDE GETS HOT BUT AIR THROUGH THE VENTS ON PASSENGER SIDE REMAIN COLD. IN WINTER THE WINSHIELD WILL ONLY DEFROST OR DEFOG ONE SIDE WHICH OBSCURES VISION ON PASSENGER SIDE WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND OR DEATH AS A RESULT.

I OWN A DODGE 2012 AVENGER AND HAD SOME ISSUES HERE AND THERE BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE JUST DIED FOR NO REASON. I WAS STOPPED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A HILL, READY TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON SO I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS WHICH THANKFULLY WORKED. I COULD TELL STRAIGHT AWAY THAT THE CAR WASN'T EVEN ON SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY AND IT STARTED UP. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY DODGE AS IT POSES A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY IF I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A FREEWAY.

WHEN IT RAINS I CAN NOT DRIVE I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AGO IN THE CAR HAD THE PROBLEM I DIDN KNO AT THE TIME CAUSE IT WAS WINTER WHEN I GOT IT AND I REALLY FEEL IN DANGER PLEAS HELP

PASSENGER SIDE HEAT BLOWS COLD AIR OUT.

PASSENGER-SIDE DEFROSTER BLOWS COLD RATHER THAN HOT/WARM AIR CAUSING COLLECTION OF CONDENSATION/FROST ON THE WINDSHIELD IN THE WINTER. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, REGARDLESS OF IF IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. I'M TOLD IT IS A PARTIALLY BLOCKED HEATER CORE.

DRIVING AT 50-55 MPH AND CHECK ENGINE AND OTHER DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED AND STARTED LOSING POWER. PULLED OFF TO SIDE STREET A FEW FEET AWAY. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO GET IN CENTER TURN LANE WHERE THE CAR DIED COMPLETELY. POWER STEERING ALSO WAS LOST. WE PUSHED CAR OFF ROAD WHERE IT RESTARTED ABOUT 1/2 HOUR LATER. DRIVING HOME LESS THEN 5 MILES IT DIED BUT STARTED AGAIN.

I HAVE A 2012 AVENGER; THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR STOPPED BLOWING HOT AIR. I TOOK THE AVENGER IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS FROM CASING SAND CLOGGING THE RADIATOR, HEATER CORE AND THE OIL COOLER. THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. ALSO THE SPRING ON THE ACTUATOR DOOR WAS STICKING AND NOT OPENING PROPERLY ..POOR CONTACT MATERIALS ON THE CONNECTORS FOR THE ACTUATORS!!. IT SEEMS THAT OVER TIME THEY OXIDIZE AND DEVELOP A RESISTANCE THAT ATTENUATES THE SIGNAL BACK TO THE CONTROL. WHEN THE SIGNAL GETS TOO LOW THE CONTROL LOSES TRACK OF THE ACTUATOR POSITION AND KEEPS DRIVING THE MOTOR, RESULTING IN CLICKING OR BROKEN TEETH. IT IS TOUGH TO REACH THE CONNECTOR CONTACTS TO CLEAN THEM- THE CLICKING GOES ON EVEN AFTER THE CAR IS OFF!!!! PLEASE FIX!

DRIVER SIDE RECEIVES HEAT ONLY WHILE DEFROSTING WINDOW PASSENGER SIDE IS COOL AIR AND NEEDS ADDITIONAL INTERVENTION TO CLEAR WINDOW. WHEN HEATING CABIN AREA ONCE MORE ONLY DRIVER SIDE RECEIVES HEAT PASSENGER SIDE IS COLD. VEHICLE WAS IN BOTH MOVING AND STATIONARY POSITIONS ON ALL OCCURANCES AND STARTS OFF ON CITY STREETS INTO HIGHWAY.

ON MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY ALTERNATOR AND HAD TO REPLACE IT 3 TIMES, 2 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YRS. I HAVE GOTTEN IT CHECKED AND THE WARNING WAS DETECTED THAT IT WAS THE CHARGING SYSTEM, AND WIRING SYSTEM. THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED THIS, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STALLED IMMEDIATELY WITH ALMOST NO WARNING EXCEPT THE LIGHT POPS ON DECELERATION AND STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE. THE NEXT TIME I EXPERIENCED IT WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK BATTERY LIGHT THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN THE NEXT DAY I NEEDED A BATTERY BUT I WAS TOLD AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THAT THE CODE WAS FOR THE CHARGING SYSTEM NOT CHARGING PROPERLY MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ONE OF THE VINS THAT IS A RECALL FOR MY CAR, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE WHEN I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS TIME AFTER TIME. I SEE WHERE SEVERAL CUSTOMERS HAVE REPORTED FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL FOR MY VIN AS WELL. SEE ALSO 11081253

TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE ALTERNATOR 3 TIMES, THIS VEHICLE IS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER, THE MILEAGE THAT I STARTED RECEIVING PROBLEMS WERE PROBALY 67,000 AND 80,000. I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR 3 TIMES, 2 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE EGINE LIGHT ALERTED ME THERE WAS A PROBLEM I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO GET IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID THAT THE CHARGING SYSTEM WAS NOT CHARGING THE ALTERNATOR PROPERLY, THEN IT RESULTED IN BATTERY ISSUES DRAINING THE BATTERY, IF I TURNED MY LIGHTS OR WIPERS ON OR ANYTHING ELECTRICAL THE PROBLEM WAS WORSE. THEN THE CAR STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE, FROM THERE I WAS TOWED TO A CAR MAX. THERE THEY CHARGED ME FOR THE LABOR ON THE ALTERNATOR BECAUSE I HAD AN EXTTENDED WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF THIS PARTICULAR FAILURE. THE NEXT INCIDENT I HAD TO GET THE BATTERY REPLACED AND IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AGAIN AFTER I REPLACED THE BATTERY. TOOK THE CAR TO REPLACE AGAIN ANOTHER ALTERNATOR FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING EVERY TIME I EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS. SEE ALSO 11081233

THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT IS STUCK PREVENTING EXTRACTION CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES

STARTING IN FALL OF 2016 THE VENTS ONLY BLOW COLD AIR OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE AND LUKEWARM AIR OUT OF DRIVER SIDE. THE WINDOWS DO NOT DEFROST AND FOG UP CONSTANTLY DURING THE WINTER TIME WHILE I AM DRIVING. MY VISION IS CONSTANTLY IMPAIRED DURING COOL AND COLD WEATHER. MY CHILDREN HAVE TO BRING LAYERS OF BLANKETS TO GET TO SCHOOL WITHOUT FREEZING. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH GLOVES ON TO KEEP MY HANDS FROM GOING NUMB. I HAVE HAD THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED AND THE SYSTEM FLUSHED BUT YET THE PROBLEM STILL GOES ON. I WAS TOLD THAT THE HEATER CORE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND NOT JUST A ONE TIME INCIDENT. I DO NOT HAVE AN EXACT DATE FOR WHEN IT HAPPENED BUT INSTEAD EVERY DAY THE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 30 SINCE I'VE BOUGHT THE CAR IN APRIL OF 2016.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. THE BATTERY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED DURING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,656. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY ELECTRICAL STABILITY LIGHT AND AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON DAILY NOW FOR 1 WEEK WHILE DRIVING. MY INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BUT NOT REGISTERING. THE RECALLS AND MY VIN IS NOT LISTED

IVE BEEN READING ONLINE THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE I HAVE WITH MY CAR. WHEN YOU TURN THE HEATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR BLOWS OUT COLD AIR. IF I WANT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR TO DEFROST I HAVE TO MANUALLY GET OUT OF MY CAR AND SCRAPE IT AND EVEN THEN THE INSIDE STILL IS HARD TO SEE OUT OF. I CANT EVEN BRING MY DAUGHTER IN THIS CAR BECAUSE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR SEEMS LIKE IT IS RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONING IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. THERE IS ALSO SOMETIMES WAS A CLICKING NOISE UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH WHICH IS THE ACTUATOR. AFTER REPLACING THIS IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I HEAR THAT IT COSTS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX AND I BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD RESOLVE IT.

CLIMATE CONTROL BLOWS COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND WARM AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEN HEAT IS ON AND DRIVING. ENGINE TEMPERATURE DOES NOT REACH NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE WHEN DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER. TOOK TO MY LOCAL TRUSTED MECHANIC AND HE DIAGNOSED THE HEATER CORE IS PLUGGED WITH DEBRIS. LOOKED ONLINE AND THE DODGE AVENGER HAVE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THAT SAME ISSUE. CALLED CHRYSLER GROUP AND MADE A COMPLAINT AND GOT A CASE NUMBER. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT LATER THIS WEEK TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED BY A DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECORD.

THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR IS BLOWING OUT COLD AIR EVEN THOUGH THE HEAT IS TURNED ON ALL THE WAY. ALSO WHILE I'M DRIVING MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE RISES IF I DON'T HAVE THE HEAT ON. THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR ALL DODGE AVENGER OWNERS AND THIS ISSUE REALLY NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED

I TOOK MY CAR TO NTB THEY STATED THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND I GOT ONLINE TO CHECK FOR RECALLS AND IT SAIS 0 DETECTED BUT I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE REASSURED. THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2015 AND I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE HEATER WAS TURNED ON AND SEVERAL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY BECAME INOPERABLE. IN ADDITION, SEVERAL WARNING INDICATORS ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STALL. WHEN THE HEATER WAS TURNED OFF, THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE AFTER THE HEATER WAS ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BYERS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (465 S HAMILTON RD, COLUMBUS, OH 43213, (614) 228-5111); HOWEVER, A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CALL THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE HOTLINE ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS; HOWEVER, AFTER THE VIN WAS PROVIDED, THE CALL WAS DISCONNECTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

THE HEATER CORE HAS FAILED CAUSING ONLY MILD HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE ONLY COLD AIR WILL BLOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WITH THIS FAILURE FROM BAD CASTING SAND REMOVAL UPON MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE IT HAS CAUSED THE THERMOSTAT TO FAIL CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO RUN FAR BELOW OPERATING TEMP. SINCE THE CABIN SPACE CANNOT RECEIVE FULL HEAT IT MAKES FOR DANGEROUS OPERATING CONDITIONS IN COLD CLIMATES AS I CANNOT DEFROST THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS HAS MADE OPERATING THE VEHICLE DURING WINTER DANGEROUS AS I CANNOT SEE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PROVIDE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT NO MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT. WHILE IN MOTION THE VEHICLE WILL NEVER GET TO OPERATING TEMP NOR WILL THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROST.

IT STARTED ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO, MY HEAT IN MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER STARTED TO NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD IT FLUSHED 4 TIMES AND THAT NEVER HELPED. I HAVE HAD THE BLENDOR ACTUARTOR REPLACED TWICE AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO REPLACEDBOTH THERMOSTATS REPLACED TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A MYSTERY TO THE THREE MECANICS/DEALERSHIPS THAT I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO FOR REPAIR ON WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I HAVE LOOKED UP MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AND EVERYTHING SHOWS THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT/ISSUE WHICH IS THE SAND/SLUDGE IN THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR. I AM A SINGLE MOM OF 2 CHILDREN AND I DON'T NEED TO BE DRIVING IN A CAR WITH NO HEAT WHEN IT IS 0 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO THIS CAR. WITH THIS CAR ONLY BEING 6 YEARS OLD, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES. THIS IS NOT A CUSTOMER DEFECT THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I NEED DODGE/CHRYSLER TO RESPOND AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE AS LIKE I SAID BEFORE HAVE PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE (100'S AND 1,000'S OF DOLLARS) I BOUGHT MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER BRAND NEW, IT ONLY HAD 4 MILES ON IT WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, IT WASN'T EVEN PAID OFF WHEN I STARTED HAVING THE ISSUES.

HEAT ONLY WORKS ON DRIVERS SIDE. ONLY COLD AIR WILL BLOW OUT ON PASSENGER SIDE. I LIVE IN UPSTATE NY WHERE IT SNOWS A LOT. IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP WINDSHIELD DEFROSTED ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. I HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER OF THE CAR. THIS STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND HAPPENED WEATHER. AT IS IN MOTION OR NOT.

I HAVE NOW LOST THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR 3 TIMES. FIRST TIME THEY DID JUST A FLUSH, NEXT TIME REPLACED THE HEATER CORE, AND NOW IT'S GONE AGAIN. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HAPPENS DURING THE WINTER! IT'S A COMPLETE VISIBILITY CONCERN! NOT TO MENTION A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT SOMETHING IN THE MANUFACTORING IS CAUSING.

HAVING TO REPLACE HEATER CORE AND ODOMETER AT 47700 MILES. LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING BEHIND ODOMETER. TOLD SAND FROM CASING CLOGGING HEATER CORE. THIS WAS NO FAULT OF MY OWN AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO FIX THIS VERY BIG AND COMMON EXPENSIVE PROBLEM.

STARTING LAST WINTER,2016, HEATER BEGAN TO BLOW COLD AIR MORE SO ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS WINTER TOOK TO VERY GOOD MECHANIC WHO FLUSHED SYSTEM ,CHECKED ACTUATOR DOORS AND ELECTRICAL.HE SAID HOW HEATER CORE WAS MOUNTED CAUSES RESIDUE,THAT CAN'T BE FLUSHED OUT,AND WAS CAUSING LACK OF HEAT TO MOST OF CABIN.ALSO THERE IS LITTLE OR NO DEFROST WHICH IS SO VERY DANGEROUS.MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED HEATER CORE TO FIND THR SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. HOPE THERE IS HELP.

HEATER CORE DEFECT. THE HEATER ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR ON PASSENGER, SMI-WARM AIR ON DRIVER. EVEN ON HIGH HEAT.

HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AT ALL TIMES, AND HAS WEAK HEAT ON DRIVERS SIDE AS WELL WHICH CAUSES WINDOWS TO FOG UP AND NOT BE ABLE TO BE DEFROSTED LIMITING VISIBILITY GREATLY. IT ALSO IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE BEING IN THE CAR WITHOUT A PROPERLY WORKING HEATER.

I HAVE A 2012 DODGE AVENGER WITH APPROXIMATELY 60K MILES. THE HEAT DID NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE HEATER CORE. THE ONLY SIGN WAS NO HEAT, NO LEAKS OR SMELLS. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY WAS CONTACTED BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT A COVERED REPAIR, IT WAS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. I ONLY TAKE MY CAR TO THE SAME DODGE DEALER FOR ALL REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE SERVICES, RECALLS, ETC.. I PAID TO HAVE IT FLUSHED, BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK, SO I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND PAID $1100. I'VE READ THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DODGE AVENGER OWNERS. I CONTACTED DODGE SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME I'M PLACED ON HOLD FOR HOURS AND ONCE I GET THROUGH, THEY RUSHED ME OFF THE PHONE. HOW COULD OVER 100 OTHER DODGE AVENGER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT AS MYSELF REGARDING THE HEATER CORE. THE DEALER EXPLAINED TO ME THIS IS MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THE HEATER CORE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE CLEARLY THROUGH THE ENTIRE FRONT WINDSHIELD.

WINDOW DEFROST AND PASSENGER HEAT /AIR. WHILE EITHER IN MOTION OR WHILE DRIVING, NO HEATED AIR EXITS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER, NOR THE PASSENGER WINDOW DEFROST, LOWER AND CENTER CONSOLE VENTS. HEATED AIR ONLY EXIT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER'S SIDE DASH VENTS. PROBLEM PERSISTS THROUGH ALL CABIN AIR MODES, AND CIRCULATIONS. THIS SAFETY ISSUE EFFECTS VISIBILITY AND PASSENGER SAFETY BY FAILING TO DEFROST/DEFOG WINDOWS AND KEEPING CABIN TEMPURATURES NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING DURING COLD WEATHER (BLOWING COLD AIR INTO THE CABIN).

HEATER IS BLOWING HOT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND COLD ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE WHILE STATIONARY AND DRIVING.

HEAT NO LONGER BLOWING OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. UPON LOOKING ONLINE, THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WITH A CLOGGING HEATER CORE, AND RADIATOR. THIS IS DUE TO THE WAY THE RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE WERE MADE. DODGE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WILL DO NOTHING TO ADDRESS IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

THE HEATER CORE ON THE DODGE VEHICLES CLOGS EASILY. THE WAY THAT CLOG DEVELOPS ONLY EFFECTS THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT. IN THESE SITUATIONS, THE HEAT IS AVAILABLE ONLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS WILL GREATLY EFFECT THE VISIBILITY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A WIDELY KNOW COMPLAINT AMONG ALL DODGE VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE AIR CONDITIONER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY BLEW OUT COLD AIR. THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER SIDE HEATER WAS FAULTY AND ONLY COLD AIR BLEW FROM THE VENTS. DURING THE FAILURE, THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD COULD NOT BE DEFROSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALL-STAR DODGE (11503 ST. CHARLES ROCK RD, BRIDGETON, MO 36044) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM WAS CLOGGED WITH SLUDGE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE COOLING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAUSE OF THE SLUDGE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,599.

A DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2016. SINCE I GOT IT THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TURN ON THE HEAT OR AC. IT STOPS AFTER ABOUT MAX 30 SECONDS. THIS WINTER THOUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE NOW ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR OUT OF EVERY SETTING YOU CAN USE. THE DRIVER SIDE IS HOT AIR. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT FOR MANY PEOPLE. MY CAR WILL NOT GET WARM AT ALL DUE TO HALF OF THE CAR BLOWING COLD AIR.

HEAT DOES NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. MECHANIC HAS CHECKED IT AND I RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE OF $1,000 TO $1,200. MECHANIC STATED HE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM IN SEVERAL OTHER DODGE AVENGERS.

TAKATA RECALL. BEGINNING LAST WINTER THE HEAT WAS ONLY COMING OUT ON DRIVER SIDE.THIS WINTER IT WAS NOTABLY WORSE. MY MECHANIC CHECKED AND TRIED FROM ACTUATOR AND ELECTRICAL BUT SAID HOW THE HEATER CORE IS SITUATED THAT WAS THE CAUSE FOR HEAT LOSS . HE FLUSHED AND CLEANED AS BEST HE COULD AND SAID IT NEEDED A NEW HEATER CORE . IT IS VERY HARD TO KEEP WINDSHIELD DEFROSTED LET ALINE BE WARM . HE RECOMMENDED CONTACTING DODGE.AT FAST SPEEDS THE HEAT IS VERY SPARSE AND IF CAR IS WARMED UP IT IS HARDLY ANY BETTER. I CAN SEND A COPY OF MECHANIC'S BILL IF REQUESTED

I GOT A 2012 DODGE AVENGER AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS FREEZING COLD AIR AND THE DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS HOT. THERE ARE LOTS OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND HISTORICAL DATA ON THIS ISSUE; AND THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE IS MANUFACTURE DEFECT.

THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS VERY LITTLE COMING OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE VENTS OR DEFROSTER AND NO HEAT WAS COMING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS OR DEFROSTER. THE FAILURE CAUSED ICE TO FORM ON THE INSIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DON'S AUTO CLINIC INC (1110 N MITCHELL ST, CADILLAC, MI 49601, (231) 775-2413) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DUAL HEATER CORE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PLACED IN REVERSE, THE SHIFT GEAR CONNECTOR JUMPED OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GREENWAY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM ORLANDO (9051 E COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32817, (888) 292-3985), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS TEMPORARILY REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE GEAR SHIFTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT NO RECALL WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN THE HEAT IS ON. DRIVERS SIDE WORKS AS IT SHOULD ON ALL SETTINGS BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD. IT IS NOT A DUAL CLIMATE SYSTEM AND EVERY COMPONENT IS WORKING CORRECTLY. (THERMOSTAT, RADIATOR, HEATER CORE, ETC.) I HAVE RESEARCHED EVERYWHERE FOR A FIX AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND CORRECTED!

THE CAR DOES NOT HEAT OR DEFROST WINDSHIELD PROPERLY. WHEN DRIVING IN INCLEMENT CONDITIONS (WE LIVE IN MICHIGAN) VISIBILITY IS LIMITED AND PASSENGERS ARE COLD. FROM ALL THAT I HAVE READ ONLINE AND THE DIAGNOSIS THAT I RECEIVED A MANUFACTURER DEFECT MAKES THE HEATER CORE BECOME PLUGGED NOT ALLOWING HOT AIR TO FLOW PROPERLY. HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE YET BUT CONCERNED IT MAY BE. ONLY REPORTING THIS DUE TO THE NUMBER OF OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DUE TO A FAULTY CORD, THE HEATER OF THE VEHICLE FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS CONTACTED (BILL SNETHKAMP CHRYSLER LOCATED: 164000 WOODWARD AVE, HIGHLAND PARK, MI, 48203) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE HAD NOT BEEN IN A PREVIOUS RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 1-888-992-1997. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THAT THE FAILURE HAD NOT BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH A RECALL AND THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

1 YEAR AGO PASSENGER SIDE BEGAN BLOWING COOL AIR, NOW ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. DRIVERS SIDE USED TO BLOW HOT AIR, NOW ONLY BLOWS WARM AIR. DEFROST IS ONLY WARM ON DRIVERS SIDE. ACTUATOR DOORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, STILL DOESN'T WORK. ESTIMATED PRICE TO REPAIR >$1200 DUE TO THE HEATER CORE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED.

NO HEAT WHATSOEVER. CHANGED TWO BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS THAT COST ME OVER 100 DOLLARS. STILL NO HEAT. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER DODGE AVENGER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM AND DODGE REFUSES TO CREATE A RECALL FOR IT. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO DODGE AND THEY CONTINUE TO DENY IT IS A PROBLEM ON THEIR SIDE WHEN IT CLEARLY IS. IT WOULD COST ME >1000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE A HEATER CORE OR ANYTHING HEAT RELATED UNDER THE HOOD.

CAR BLOWING COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. TOOK TO DODGE DEALER. WAS TOLD THE HEATER CORE WAS BLOCKED, I NEEDED A NEW HEATER CORE AND FLUSHING WOULD NOT HELP. WAS TOLD NOTHING I DID WRONG NOR COULD I HAVE PREVENTED IT. ONLY TAKE MY VEHICLE TO DODGE DEALERS FOR ALL WORK. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT WAS NOT COVERED. WAS TOLD IT WAS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. CHRYSLER REQUIRES FLUSHING AT 104,000 MILE, I HAVE 67K MILES. I HAD THE WORK DONE. PAID $1075.00. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, FOUND OUT THAT THE HEATER CORE IN THE DODGE AVENGERS GOES BACK REGULARLY. MANY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CONTACTED CHRYSLER, SAID I WAS OVER MY CHRYSLER WARRANTY. NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

BRAKE RECALL: THE BRAKES GRAB OR SLOW TO STOP CAUSING IT TO NOT STOP IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR JUMP, FLUTTER OR HESITATE TO BRAKE. ENGINE RECALL: GOT CAR 6/2017 CLINGING NOISE, AFTER 70,000 MILES, ALL OIL CHANGES 1000 MILES BEFORE ITS DUE, STARTED AFTER THE 2 OIL CHANGE. SMALL OF BURNING WIRE SMELL. (OIL CHANGE 4 DAYS GO NOW ENGINE LIGHT ON) FUEL PROPUSION SYSTEM RECALL: CAR SEEMS TO SHIFT FUNNY WHEN PUSHING GAS, STRUGGLING FOR GAS TO FLOW WHEN PUSHING THE GAS.

THE HEATING IN MY CAR ONLY WORKS ON THE DRIVE SIDE. ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN THE HEAT IS ON.

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE. BLOWS ONLY COLD AIR. DID RESEARCH AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE SAME MAKE,MODEL AND YEAR ON THIS CAR. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT OTHERS HAD BOTH CARS OF SAME TO THEM WITH SAME ISSUES. ALSO MECHANIC SAID IT WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY MANUFACTURER. I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW ZERO MILES FROM DEALER IN 2012. THE HEAT WORKED FINE UNTIL LAST WINTER.

WHEN STARTING UP THE DEFROSTER OR THE HEATER ON THE CAR, THERE IS COLD AIR BLOWING ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AND WARM AIR BLOWING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE ACTUATOR OR ANOTHER ISSUE. I CALLED CHRYSLER A FEW YEARS AGO TO REPORT THIS AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE OCTOBER 22, 2014. AFTER A WEEK WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING THE HEAT DID NOT WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE. HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IT. TOOK IT BACK IN, SERVICE PARTS TOLD ME IT WASN'T COVERED -- MANUFACTURER DEFECT. TOOK THE CAR IN TO THOMAS DODGE THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR AND THE HEATER CORE WAS CLOGGED -- COST TO REPAIR $1900. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 60,000 MI. I'VE PUT @20,000 MILES ON IT IN 3 YEARS. AND BOUGHT A SERVICE CONTRACT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN PROBLEM -- I'M JUST STUMPED. I NEED SOMETHING RELIABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE HEATER WOULD NOT BLOW WARM AIR FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE THE DEFROSTER, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD AND PASSENGER MIRROR COULD NOT BE DEFROSTED DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. *LN ENTIRE RIGHT SIDE WOULD NOT DEFROST. UPDATED 7/26/18*JB

OFFICIALLY WRITTEN COMPLAINT REGARDING UNREASONABLE DELAY BY DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR RECALLED PART. FIRST NOTICE WAS ISSUED OVER A YEAR AGO, HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG. IN MEAN TIME HAVE RECEIVED 2ND RECALL FOR SEATBELT MALFUNCTION.

FRONT HOOD - PAINT HAS BEEN BUBBLING NOW. DEALER NOTIFIED, ADMITS A PROBLEM WITH HOOD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH COSTS 2,000.00. THIS A FACTORY ISSUE AND I DON'T FEEL THAT CONSUMER SHOULD PAY FOR THIS. REAR TRUNK LID - WATER LEAKS IN CARGO AREA AFTER EVERY RAIN. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING AND DEALER HAS ALSO BEEN NOTIFIED. NO SOLUTION GIVEN AT THIS TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE HEATER TURNED ON, COLD AIR EMITTED FROM THE VENTS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ESPECIALLY IN COLD WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS, I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE HEATER ONLY BLOWING WARM AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A LITTLE UNBEARABLE IN THE WINTER TIME. TO OFFSET THE COLDNESS I BASICALLY HAVE TO WARM MY CAR UP FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS CLOSED TO DRIVE WITH A COMFORTABLE OR REASONABLE TEMPERATURE. UPON LIFTING THE FRONT HOOD TO CHECK MY ANTIFREEZE LEVEL, I NOTICED MY OVERFLOW TANK HAS ABOUT 1 INCH OF BROWN SLUDGE AT THE BOTTOM. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE TO 5 DIFFERENT MECHANICS, THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IS THIS IS A HEATING CORE PROBLEM THAT IS APPARENTLY A WELL-KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH THE DODGE AVENGER. TO NOT RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM AS A SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED VIA A RECALL IS VERY DISTURBING. THE COST OF HAVING THIS REPAIRED IS SOMEWHERE IN THE RANGE OF $900 TO $1800. WHILE I COULD "TRADE" THIS CAR IN FOR ANOTHER I WOULD REALLY PREFER TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE.

WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOR OUR 2012 DODGE AVENGER THAT OUR SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS MAY NOT WORK IN A CRASH. OF COURSE WE WERE VERY CONCERNED AS THIS WAS OUR ONLY CAR. WHEN WE CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY RECALL FIXED, THEY LIED AND TOLD US IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE FOR THE PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE. WE GOT TIRED OF WAITING AND WENT TO TRADE THIS CAR IN FOR A TOYOTA. WE WERE SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT THIS SAFELY RECALL WAS STAMPED WITH "NO FIX" AVAILABLE. DODGE WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE AND WE LOST OVER $7,000 IN TRADE IN VALUE DUE TO THIS "NO FIX" SAFETY RECALL. HOW CAN THESE COMPANIES GET AWAY WITH NOT FIXING SUCH A DANGEROUS SAFETY RECALLS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONSUMER?

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL RANDOMLY STOP WORKING. ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. I WAS ON THE EXPRESS WAY IN A DOWNPOUR RAIN AND MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING, I HAD ZERO VISIBILITY AND HAD TO PULL OVER FOR 20 MINUTES UNTIL THEY CAME BACK ON.

VICHLE HEATER CORE LEAKING IN 2012 DODGE AVENGER. CAR RUNS GOT AND A/C NOT WORKING.

THERE IS A RECALL FOR THESE PROBLEMS WITH SAME MAKE AND MODEL BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED AT ENTERPRISE IN 2014. FOR SOME REASON I AM NOT RECEIVING ANY RECALL NOTICES. COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THESE RECALLS. THANK YOU

RECALL S61 OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE. I WAS NOTIFIED OCTOBER OF 2016 OF THIS RECALL, STATING THE FIX WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN JANUARY. A LOCAL AUTOSHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE RECALL. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE FIX BECAME AVAILABLE IN JUNE, DIDNT OFFER TO HELP GET ME INTO A SAFER VEHICLE. THEY JUST SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE AT THE TIME. COME JUNE, THE FIX WAS PUSHED TILL AUGUST. I'M IN TOUCH WITH THE DEALERSHIP NOW, AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT PARTS ARE ON HOLD, AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR CHRYSLER TO RELEASE THE PARTS. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME AT ALL TIMES.

TAKATA RECALL- I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS CURRENTLY ON RECALL, I CAN NOT SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE SO IT HAS BEEN MOSTLY SITTING SINCE OCTOBER WHEN I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT MANY TIMES WITH THE PERSON WHO IS SUPPOSED TO HELP AND RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I WILL BE AWARDED $40.00 A DAY FOR A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED AND I CAN HAVE MY CAR FIXED. HOWEVER I CAN NOT GET AN APPROPRIATE VEHICLE FOR $40.00 A DAY. PLUS I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY THE MONEY UPFRONT TO GET A RENTAL VEHICLE. IT WOULD BE MUCH CHEAPER TO JUST HAVE YOU GUYS PAY IT OFF. MY CAR WOULD OF ALREADY BEEN PAID OFF IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE DONE SO IN THE BEGINING. I AM WRITE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE CAR IS NOW HAVING ISSUES; IT KEEPS MAKING A LOUD CLICKING NOISE WHEN IT FIRST STARTS AS WELL AS WHEN IT STOPS AND PERIODICALLY WHEN IT ISN'T EVEN BEING DRIVEN. IT ALSO LEAKS WATER INTO THE TRUNK WHEN IT IS WET OUTSIDE. I AM ASKING ONCE AGAIN FOR THIS CAR TO BE PAID OFF, I CAN NOT SELL OR TRADE THIS VEHICLE AND AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT. I AM ASKING TO GET THIS PAID OFF, IF NOT I HAVE CONTACTED A LAWYER AND WILL PROCEED WITH A LAW SUIT, I REALLY DO NOT WISH TO PERSUE THIS HOWEVER IT HAS BEEN NINE MONTHS AND I NEED THIS RESOLVED.

WE HAVE 2 OF THE EXACT SAME 2012 DODGE AVENGERS ON OUR LOT, WE ARE NEEDING A RECALL EXTENSION AND POSSIBLE REFUND ON OUR EXPENSES FOR THE VIN I PROVIDED DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART ON THE OTHER AVENGER THAT WE HAVE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT CAMPAIGN: 13V552000 AND MFR CAMPAIGN: N52 ARE ON ALL DODGE AVENGERS, SO TO PREVENT OUR COMPANY FOR PAYING FOR A PART THAT HAS A RECALL WE ARE WANTING TO EXTEND THE RECALL SO IT COVERS THE AVENGERS MADE FOR THE YEAR OF 2013.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED BEHIND A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE TRUCK IN FRONT SUDDENLY MOVED AND ALLOWED THE CONTACT TO NOTICE ANOTHER VEHICLE HEADING TOWARDS THEM AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO GAIN CONTROL. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE LANDED IN A DITCH ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE'S FRONT FENDER WAS DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE ANY INJURIES. APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,013.

HEATER ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS CASING SAND CLOGGING THE RADIATOR, HEATER CORE AND THE OIL COOLER. THIS HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF THE HEATER CORE BEING THE WRONG SIZE AND CHRYSLER FIXING THE ISSUE BY CASTING IT IN PLACE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIVE IN STATES WHERE THE WINTER GETS BAD. WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER THE SNOW, ICE, OR SLEET WILL BEGIN TO ACCUMULATE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND PASSENGER WINDOW. THE SAD PART IS THAT THIS IS THE SECOND DODGE AVENGER I HAVE HAD WITH THIS ISSUE AND ON BOTH OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED BOTH TIMES BEFORE THIS HAS BECOME AN ISSUE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS DEFECT AND FIX IT BEFORE IT CAUSES A DEATH. TO HAVE THIS REPAIR DONE COSTS $2500 WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL LAST.

ONE OF THE PRIMARY REASONS THAT I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WAS DUE TO THE GOOD SAFETY RATINGS IT RECEIVED, SO I AM VERY UPSET THAT THIS IS NOT BEING FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE FORCED TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE DUE TO THIS RECALL, BUT WITHOUT ANY ESTIMATE ON WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE, I DO NOT APPRECIATE THE PREDICAMENT I AM IN WHERE I DO NOT HAVE A SAFELY DRIVABLE VEHICLE AND AM ESSENTIALLY ROLLING THE DICE BY DRIVING AROUND IN A DEATH TRAP ANY TIME I DO USE IT. I AM HOPING THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL A BAD THING HAPPENS BEFORE I CAN GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED PROPERLY. ANY INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION OF THIS REQUEST TO EXPEDITE THE RESOLUTION OF THIS ISSUE.

WE HIT A PATCH OF SLUSH AND ICE, THE REAR TIRES LOCKED AND THE CAR SLAMMED HEAD-ON INTO A CONCRETE PILLAR. THE CAR'S BUMPER, GRILLE, SUPPORT BAR ETC WERE SEVERELY DAMAGED AND THE CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE RADIATOR WAS FOLDED INTO A "V". THE DRIVER'S HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL RESULTING IN A CONCUSSION. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS FLASHING ON/OFF WHEN WE USED THE TURN SIGNAL. THE CAR DIDN'T START OR SHUT OFF AT TIMES. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM/AIRBAG.

I WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALL IN OCTOBER OF 2016 AND I HAVE JUST RECENTLY BEEN TOLD THAT DODGE WILL NOT HAVE A PART TO FIX THE RECALL UNTIL AT THE EARLIEST JUNE 2017. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE WE HAVE ALREADY WAITED FIVE MONTHS FOR A FIX AND MY WIFE IS PREGNANT AND WE ALREADY HAVE A TODDLER.

THE HEAT DOES NOT BLOW HOT AIR ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS INCLUDES THE WINDSHIELD, CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT ONLY CLEARS THE FOG ON ONE SIDE. DODGE SERVICE SHOP SAID THE ISSUE IS A KNOWN CHRYSLER ISSUE, REQUIRING A NEW RADIATOR, HEATER CORE, AND COOLANT BOTTLE. AT AN ESTIMATE OF $2235.00. HOWEVER CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT CLAIMING IT IS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE.

SUMMARY: THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES. SAFETY RISK: THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN SUCH CRASH EVENTS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH.

MY SON WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION AND THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK IN PLACE AND IT FULLY EXTENDED ALLOWING MY SON'S HEAD TO SLAM INTO THE WINDSHIELD. HE HAS HAD A HEAD ACHE, IN THAT EXACT SPOT FROM THE IMPACT, FOR 7 DAYS CONSECUTIVELY.

I RECEIVED NOTICE STATING THAT THERE IS A CURRENT SAFETY RECALL FOR : THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN SUCH CRASH EVENTS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH. IT WAS RECALLED IN OCT2016 WE ARE IN JAN2017 AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING AND WE HAVE TWO OF THESE SAME VEHICLES. WE HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN RIDING IN THESE VEHICLES AND WE COMMUTE FOR WORK DAILY. THIS IS A GREAT CONCERN.

THE HEAT BLOWS HOT ON THE DRIVER SIDE BUT BLOWS COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CAUSING THE WINDOWS AND WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP AND REDUCE VISIBILITY NOT TO MENTION POSSIBLE FROSTBITE FROM SITTING ON THAT SIDE.....GETS PRETTY COLD HERE IN MINNESOTA. BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND THE HEAT HAS NEVER REALLY BEEN GREAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE,BUT NOW IT'S LIKE TURNING THE A.C. ON. I HAVE READ SOME INTERESTING ARTICLES ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND PRETTY EXPENSIVE TO FIX,DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS AT IDLE OR GOING DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

AT AROUND 100,000 MILES MY PASSENGER SIDE HEAT STOPPED WORKING WITH ONLY MY DRIVER SIDE HAVING SOME WARMTH. THIS WAS VERY SUDDEN. NOW, 3 WEEKS LATER THERE IS NO HEAT IN MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER SE. IT'S THE MIDDLE OF WINTER AND I CANNOT SEE BECAUSE WITHOUT HEAT I HAVE NO DEFROSTER. THE CAR IS NOT OVERHEATING, AND MY COOLANT LEVELS HAVE BEEN FINE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I AM TAKING IT TO THE AUTOMOTIVE SHOP THIS WEEK, BUT WORRY BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE STATING THEY HAD TO PAY HUGE SUMS OF MONEY FOR DODGES MANUFACTURING DEFECT. PLEASE RECALL THIS DEFECT. *TR
