2011 Dodge Avenger Complaint Log

REAR OF VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT'S ON CASTERS. FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO FISHTAIL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL FAILURES WITH THE WINDOW MOTORS AS THE POWER WINDOWS FAILED TO OPERATE AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (MANCARI'S CHRYSLER, 2514 95TH ST, OAK LAWN, IL 60453) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE RELATED TO THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

VEHICLE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS,RECENTLY TOOK IT IN FOR THE ORC RECALL DEALER ADVISED THAT'S NOT THE REASON FOR THE RECALL, HES HAD MULTIPLE OTHER DODGE AVENGERS COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HE SED ME TO CONTACT DODGE AND FILE A COMPLAINT. I DID READ TODAY THAT 2012+ DODGE AVENGERS HAVE CAME UP WITH ANOTHER RECALL THAT HAS TO DO WITH AIR BAG LIGHT BEING ON SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO BESIDE FILE A COMPLAINT. IVE ALSO HAD MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS CAR, THE BRAKING SYSTEM WILL SKIP BEFORE STOPPING (ITS REALLY HARD TO EXPLAIN). IVE BEEN TO 4 DIFFERENT MECHANICS JENSEN TIRES, TIRES PLUS, BRAKES PLUS, AND THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THEMSELVES. ALL OF THEM HAVE PERFORMED A FULL INSPECTION ON VEHICLE AND SAID EVERYTHING IS PERFECT AND NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AT TIMES GOING AROUND 45-60 MPH, TURNING AT 15-20 MPH AND GOING UP HILL AROUND 15 MPH (DODGE SAYS THATS NORMAL FOR DODGES). CAR WILL CLUNK WHEN PUTTING IT IN D,R,P (DODGE SAYS ALL DODGES MAKE THAT SAME NOISE). CAR IDLES ROUGH WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP, ROLLING AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT (DODGE SAYS ITS NORMAL FOR DODGE VEHICLES TO DO THAT WHEN ITS HOT OUTSIDE). IM GOING TO TRYING TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER FULL INSPECTION AND IF THEY DON'T FIND THESE ISSUE I WILL BE JUNKING THIS VEHICLE, ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, ITS VERY HARD TO DRIVE AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A CITY STREET. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE AIRBAG EXPLODED. IN THE STEERING COLUMN...MY RIGHT FOREARM WAS BURNT AND MY RIGHT EAR HAS SOME DAMAGE AS FAR AS HEARING.... I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE ON 5/31/18, 6/1/18, 6/4/18, 6/5/18, 6/6/18 AND FINALLY ON 6/8/18 SOMEONE CONTACTED ME BACK. I HAD MY 5 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR WITH ME....WE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT IF WE HADN'T JUST TURNED FROM THE RED LIGHT.... I FEEL THAT DODGE IS NOT TAKING THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY. I HAVE PICTURES ON MY PHONE THAT I COULD SEND IF NEEDED TOO. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR WILL BLOW COLD AIR AND THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL BLOW WARM AIR DESPITE THIS BEING A SINGLE ZONE A/C SYSTEM. THIS ISSUE STARTED AFTER HEAVY ACCELERATION GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I SAW SMOKE BILLOW FROM THE CENTER A/C VENTS. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD, BUT FOUND NOTHING BURNING. IT WAS LATER THAT DAY WHEN I NOTICED THE ISSUE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE COOLING AND THE DRIVERS SIDE NOT. AFTER MUCH READING, THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AFFECTING MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS.

AIR BAG LIGHT ON DEALERSHIP SAYS IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ORC RECALL THAT WAS REPAIRED, BRAKES SKIP THEN POP BEFORE STOPPING TOOK IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS TO GET INSPECTED NONE OF THEM COULD FINE AN ISSUE INCLUDING DODGE DEALERSHIP. FRONT DOOR CAN NOT BE SHUT BEFORE BACK DOOR OR IT WILL SCRATCH BACK DOOR. OIL LEAK FROM ENGINE GASKET AND ENGINE PAN. POPPING IT STEERING COLUMN AND SHAKING WHEN GOING DOWN HILL. AGAIN DEALERSHIP AND 4 OTHER CERTIFIED MECHANICS CAN NOT FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE POPPING IT THE STEERING COLUMN AND JUMPING AND SKIP IN THE BRAKES BEFORE STOPPING. THE BRAKE ISSUE HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED AND POPPING IN THE STEERING WHEEL HAPPENS MAINLY ANY SLOWER SPEEDS WHEN LETTING GO GAS OR BRAKE NO TURNING GOING STRAIGHT.

CAR WILL BREAK DOWN (TOTAL LOSS OF RPMS, NOT POWER). HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY, ON A BRIDGE AND IN RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE CAR WILL START BACK UP AFTER 1-2 HOURS WITH NO ISSUE. 5 MECHANICS, INCLUDING THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE ISSUE AND/OR RESOLVE.

2011 DODGE AVENGER EXPRESS. DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR BUT PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD. THIS BEGAN DOING THIS ACTION IN APRIL 2018 AND WHEN I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY TRAFFIC, IT BLOWS HOT ON ONE SIDE AND THE OTHER SIDE IS COLD. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE AIR STOPS BLOWING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES THEN COMES BACK ON BY ITSELF.

DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. THE WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN.

MY HEATER ISN'T BLOWING WARM AIR OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE. THINKING THE DOOR/FLAP ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY.

MY DODGE AVENGER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT EVERYONE ELSE'S CAR HAS WITH A 3.6L VVT IN THE CAR, THE ENGINE OIL COOLER CRACKS, AND SPRAYS OIL EVERYWHERE, THE PROBLEM IS THAT IF IT ISN'T CAUGHT THE OIL GET ALL OVER THE PLACE AND CAUSES BELTS TO SMOKE BECAUSE THE OIL AND ANTIFREEZE ARE LEAKING FROM THE OIL COOLER. CONSIDERING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE MOTORS, THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, SO THE OIL COOLER CAN BE RECALLED, SO DODGE WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM!! IT IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRIP AND IT DECIDES TO CRACK WHILE YOU'RE DOING 70 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY AND ALL THE OIL AND ANTIFREEZE BLOWS OUT THE CAR. AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE PROBLEM IS UNTIL THE CAR IS STOPPED AND YOU GET IT TOWED HOME, YOU CHECK ALL THE FLUIDS AND REFILL THEM THEN YOU COME OUTSIDE THE NEXT MORNING AND YOU SEE THE BIG LEAK FROM THE OIL ALL ON THE GROUND AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM TEAR THE CAR APART BECAUSE THERE IS OIL ALL OVER THE PLACE UNDER THE HOOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE HEATER BLEW OUT COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND HOT AIR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE ONLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000.

AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE I TOOK IT FOR A SHORT DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS SPEEDING UP TO 35-40 MPH WHEN THE CAR STALLED. THE CAR STARTED AND I DECIDED THAT I BETTER TAKE IT HOME. I STARTED THE CAR, TURNED AROUND ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING, IT STALLED AGAIN. IT STALLED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME, I WAS NEVER ABLE TO DRIVE MORE THAN 45MPH BEFORE IT WOULD STA... SEVERAL DAYS LATER I DECIDED TO TRY TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. IT MADE IT TWO MILES OUT OF TOWN (GOING 65MPH) BEFORE IT STARTED STALLING AGAIN. IT TOOK ME OVER AN HOUR TO MAKE IT HOME BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD START, DRIVE FOR ABOUT 3 FEET AND STALL AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM TOWED IT TO THEIR SHOP AND THEY "RESET" THE COMPUTER. IT DROVE FINE FOR TWO DAYS BEFORE STALLING AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET GOING 45MPH. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR SEVERAL MINUTES LATER AND DRIVE IT THE LAST 1/4 OF A MILE TO WORK. NOW I AM AT WORK WONDERING IF I WILL MAKE IT SAFELY HOME. I LIVE AN HOUR FROM WORK.

PASSENGER SIDE HEAT BLOWS WEAK COLD AIR (DASH, FLOOR, AND DEFROSTER). WINDSHIELD WILL NOT DEFROST. HEATER CORE REPLACED, CLOGGED WITH CASTING SAND FROM MANUFACTURER. TWO WEEKS LATER, NEW CORE CLOGGED. MECHANIC SPENT MOST OF ONE DAY CONTINUOUSLY FLUSHING ENGINE/SYSTEM. SAND STILL FLUSHING OUT AT END OF DAY FROM HEAT/COOLING SYSTEM. CONDITIONS ARE STATIONARY OR MOVING (ANY SPEED) WITH HEATER ON. UNSURE HOW LONG THIS WAS OCCURRING AS I RARELY HAVE A PASSENGER. DRIVER'S SIDE SEEMED TO WORK FINE, SO I DID NOT NOTICE UNTIL ROUTINELY TRANSPORTING PASSENGER AND GOT WORSE TO THE POINT IT WAS DIFFICULT SEEING OUT OF WINDSHIELD.

AFTER 80'000 MILES SHIFING PROBLEMS, THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE. WILL NOT BACK UP. ALONG WITH SEAT BELT ISSUES.

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE. MAKES FOR UNCOMFORTABLE TEMPERATURE AND LACK OF VISIBILITY ON PASSENGER SIDE

HEATER BLOWS COLD ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR AND WARM ON DRIVERS SIDE OF CAR. WON'T DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD FOR MANY MILES. DEALER SAID IT'S HEATER CORE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM DODGE. SAND AND METAL FRAGMENTS FROM THE FACTORY ENGINE MOLD GETS INTO THE WATER SYSTEM AND IN TIME PLUGS THE HEATER CORE OR RADIATOR IN TIME.THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. OR SHOULD BE

WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE BRAKE WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. AND THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

WITH LESS THAN 77,000 MILES ON MY 2011 DODGE AVENGER THE HEATING SYSTEM QUIT WORKING,I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST 2,000 TO 3,000 DOLLARS TO FIX. I ALSO BEEN TOLD FROM PAST DODGE MECHANICS THAT DODGE HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR 10 TO 15 YEARS AND FAIL TO RECALL THE CARS AFFECTED. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO HEAT ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CAR,AFTER SEEING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY DODGE.

DRIVER SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR. WHETHER ON THE WINDSHIELD OR THROUGH THE VENTS. PASSENGER SIDE FOGS UP AND DOESN'T CLEAR WHERE THE DRIVER SIDE IS FINE.

THE HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR IN THE PASSENGER AREA OF THE CAR AND WARM AIR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE CAR NEVER WARMS UP ENOUGH TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS IN WINTER. THE CAUSE IS SAND AND METAL SHAVINGS LEFT IN THE ENGINE BLOCK DURING MANUFACTURING OF THE ENGINE. THE SAND AND METAL SHAVINGS MAKE THEIR WAY INTO THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR BY ABOUT 50000.00 MILES OR SO. THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE HEATING ISSUE BECAUSE THE BOTTOM OF THE HEATER CORE PLUGS AND THE RADIATOR ALSO TO AN EXTENT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY DODGE FOR SURE. PLEASE HELP US FROM THE HIGH COST OF THE DEALERS 1300.00 CHARGE TO CHANGE THE HEATER CORE AND OR RADIATOR. FROM A DISCONTENT DODGE OWNER

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE HAD THE HEATER CORE FLUSHED DID NO GOOD WAS TOLD THERE WAS LEFT OVER SAND FROM ENGINE CAST. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY CHYSLER! I DON'T HAVE $1500 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF.

HEAT ONLY BLOWS HOT ON DRIVERS SIDE - PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP 01/18 THEY REPLACED THE HEATER CORE AND FLUSHED THE SYSTEM. 11/18 DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. ALREADY COST $1200, TOLD THAT IT IS THE COOLANT AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE HEATER CORE UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS CLOGGED. IF IT IS THE COOLANT THEY PUT IN WOULDN'T THAT STILL BE COVERED? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE DEFROSTER ON THAT SIDE ALSO ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR!

HEAT FUNCTIONS PROPERLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE BUT BLOWS COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE BUT DOES NOT DEFROST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

THE HEATER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. THE PASSENGER SIDE ALWAYS BLOWS COLD AIR. THE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS WARM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO EMIT HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

PASSENGER-SIDE DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER BLOWS COLD AIR RENDERING VISIBILITY DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, OR COLD SEASON. SEVERAL NEAR-MISS OCCURRENCES ON ROAD WAY DUE POOR VISIBILITY ON PASSENGER-SIDE WINDSHIELD AND PASSENGER-SIDE WINDOW. PASSENGER-SIDE HEAT INOPERABLE. REPLACED PASSENGER-SIDE BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS. FLUSHED HEATER CORE (TEMPORARY FIX), BUT REOCCURRING PROBLEM.

WIPERS STOP WORKING, THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT COME AT RANDOM WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. AN UNKNOWN DEALER IN MADISONVILLE, TX WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

2011 DODGE AVENGER. 3.6L ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH, ON DECELERATION, ONCE THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE STALLS. ALL ELECTRICAL STILL WORKS, BUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ARE LOST. CAR DOES NOT RESTART FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR OR MORE, BUT WILL START EVNETUALLY. HAS HAPPENED "INTERMITTENTLY" 10 TIMES SINCE DEC 2017 (THIS REPORT DONE JULY 2018). 8 DEALER TRIPS WITH A TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT, NEW FUEL PUMP AND STILL STALLING ISSUES WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. EMPTY BACK ROADS, STATE HIGHWAYS AND EVEN BUSY FREEWAYS HAVE ALL BEEN LOCATIONS FOR STALLS. ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS, (WINTER, SUMMER, WET, DRY). ONE CODE PULLED REFERRED TO THE TIPM, WHICH IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER, BUT NOT DOCUMENTED IN THE AVENGER. DEALER WANTS A SECOND CODE TO CONFIRM BUT OF THE 10 STALLS AND 8 BEING TOWED TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY, ONLY ONCE WAS CODE SAVED IN CAR'S COMPUTER.

HEAT FROM MY VEHICLE ONLY COMES OUT OF MY DRIVERS SIDE. THIS IS CAUSING HALF OF MY WINDSHIELD TO NOT BE DEFROSTED IN THE MORNING AND I HAVE TO DRIVE UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS

THIS IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT ADDING TO THE LIST OF DISAPPOINTED CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT NOT WORKING. I BOUGHT A USED 2011 3.6L DODGE AVENGER A WEEK AGO FROM A DEALERSHIP. LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CAR APPEARED TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE AND WORKING ORDER. I CHECKED ALL THE VENTS WHEN I INITIALLY STARTED UP THE CAR. THEY WERE ALL BLOWING AIR WHICH SEEMED TO BE A GOOD SIGN..IT WAS COLD OUT SO I ASSUMED THEY ALL WOULD BLOW HEAT EVENTUALLY. AS I'M TEST DRIVING THE CAR, THE HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE CRANKS UP. "GREAT THE HEAT WORKS." I THOUGHT AS I CONTINUED TO TEST THE REST OF THE CAR OUT..HAPPILY DROVE OFF THE LOT..BTW I CHECKED FOR RECALLS BEFORE BUYING THE VEHICLE AND CONTACTED NHTSA AND GAVE THEM THE VIN# WHICH I FOUND 1 UNSERVICED RECALL BUT WAS WILLING TO FIX ON MY OWN KNOWING IT WAS COVERED BY DODGE.....DAYS LATER..MY FIRST PASSENGER BRINGS IT TO MY ATTENTION THAT COLD AIR WAS ATTACKING THEM (AS I SIT COMFORTABLY IN A REASONABLE TEMPERATURE). SO LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DEALING WITH THIS MATTER, I STARTED TO RESEARCH REASONS WHY SUCH A THING WAS HAPPENING AND LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION. AFTER HAVING A COUPLE OF MECHANICS TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAR (HOPING ITS JUST A BLEND DOOR ISSUE - HELL OF ALOT CHEAPER OF A PROBLEM) IT TURNS OUT IT WOULD COST ME ABOUT 20% (OR CLOSE TO $2000) OF WHAT I PAID FOR THE CAR! THIS IS NOT A NORMAL PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME ENJOYING THE CAR AS I HAVE REGRETTING IT. UNLESS THIS GETS FIXED (PAID FOR) BY THE MANUFACTURER I CAN'T SEE HOW I CAN EVER AGAIN SUPPORT THIS BRAND.. I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT REACHES DODGE AND THEY DO RIGHT BY THEIR CUSTOMERS!! - DODGE DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS!

THE HEATER ONLY SOMEWHAT WORKS. THE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS LUKE WARM AIR IF LUCKY AND PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS ICE COLD. THIS CAUSES DANGEROUS DRIVING DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY INSIDE CAR. HAVE REPLACED THERMOSTAT 3 TIMES AND HAD SYSTEM FLUSHED AS ADVISED. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH BOTH AC/HEAT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. ANTIFREEZE ALSO LEAKS FROM FRONT OF CAR AND INTO DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD

WHILE MY 2011 DODGE AVENGER IS IDLING AND SLOWING DOWN IT CONTINUES TO STALL OUT. IT ALSO SOMETIMES DOES IT WHILE I'M DRIVING TOO. I THEN HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT AND PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND NO NOTIFICATIONS UNDER THE SYSTEM CHECK DASH LIGHT.

THE CAR ONLY HAS HEAT COMING OUT OF 1 VENT AND IT'S WARM NOT EVEN HOT. I'VE HAD LINES FLUSHED, ACTUATORS AND BLEND DOOR REPLACED AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. WHEN IT'S COLD THE CAR DOESN'T GET ABOVE 40 DEGREE'S. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE AS I HAVE 2 KIDS AND CAN'T HAVE THEM IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. APPARENTLY THIS IS A DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE AND DODGE/CRYSTLER REFUSES TO FIX IT

THE KNOWN ISSUE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT GOING OUT. NOT ABLE TO HEAT UP IN THE COLD WEATHER OF MARYLAND'S WINTERS. ONE MONTH AGO CAR STARTED TICKING BUT NOW THE HEAT IS STARTING TO FADE AWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO EMIT HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BAXTER CHRYSLER (17950 BURT ST, SUITE A, OMAHA, NE 68118, PHONE: (402) 493-7800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE FAILED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE FAILURE AND DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

HEATER ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR ON DRIVERS SIDE VENT. MIDDLE TWO VENTS ARE COOL AIR AND PASSENGER VENT IS VERY COLD AIR. IT IS CAUSING THE SAME EFFECT ON MY WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS CAUSING SERIOUS VISIBILITY ISSUES ACROSS HALF OF MY WINDSHIELD DUE TO NOTHING DEFROSTING THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS DOES NOT CHANGE EVEN AFTER MY CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR 45 MINUTES AND MORE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE SEEING AS I CANNOT SEE TO DRIVE SAFELY FOR MYSELF AND ANY PASSING BY VEHICLES. WE ALSO HAVE CHILDREN AND THE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN IN THE SINGLE DIGITS THIS PAST WEEK, IVE HAD TO PACK BLANKETS ON TOP OF THEM IN THE CAR (SINCE THEY CANNOT WEAR THICK COATS WHILE IN A CARSEAT) JUST TO ATTEMPT TO KEEP THEM WARM AND EVEN THEN THEY ARE COMPLAINING THAT THEY ARE COLD. FOR A VEHICLE THAT I STILL MAKE PAYMENTS ON, I EXPECTED TO ATLEAST STAY WARM AND BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE IM DRIVING DURING COLD TEMPERATURES. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP.

THE HEATER IN MY CAR IS ONLY BLOWING HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BLOWING COLD AIR. BEING FROM MAINE THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE WINTER WHEN THE WEATHER IS INCLEMENT AS IT DOES NOT DEFROST PROPERLY AS IT SHOULD. I WAS QUOTED $2100 4 HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR REPLACEMENT . WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE I HAVE SEEN I WOULD THINK THAT CHRYSLER DODGE WITH TAKE RESPONSIBILITY DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS ISSUE WITHOUT CHARGING THE CONSUMER.

MY CAR'S ENGINE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF ACCELERATION OR EVEN WHILE AT IDLE. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANY ISSUES AS TO WHY IT WOULD STOP RUNNING AND I AM EXTREMELY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR I WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING AND IT IS HARD TO STEER THE CAR TO A SAFE SPOT.

WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND RIGHT AWAY MY CAR STALLED WHILE IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 70MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF MY CAR THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO GET SAFELY HOME. WHEN I WENT DOWN THE STREET TO CHECK TO SEE IF IT WORKED, IT STALLED ON ME AGAIN.

KNOWN ISSUE THAT MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO ADDRESS. UNSAFE TO DRIVE DURING VERY COLD TEMPERATURES. THIS VEHICLE ONLY PRODUCES HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE VENT. TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATES AND TURNS HEAT TO COOL WHILE DRIVING. DOES NOT PROPERLY DEFROST. HAS TICKING ISSUES COMING FROM BEHIND THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN CHANGING AC SETTINGS.

THE HEAT BLOWS WARM ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND FREEZING COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AND WINDOW. THEREFORE, ONLY HALF OF MY WINDOW WILL GET DEFROSTED. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER I AM DRIVING OR SITTING IDLE.

THE HEAT ON MY PASSENGER SIDE WAS BLOWING OUT COLD AIR AND ALSO MAKING A NOISE REPLACED THE ACTUATOR STILL NO HEAT I'VE HEARD THIS IS A POPULAR ISSUE IS THESE VEHICLES.

ENGINE SHUT OF WHILE DRIVING THIS HAPPENS MANY TIMES EVEN NOW I CAN'T DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DINT KNOW WHEN IS GOING TO SHUT OF.

THE HEATER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT BLOWS WARM AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, BUT BLOWS ICE COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR TWO YEARS AND WE HAVE NOT FOUND A RESOLUTION FOR IT YET EVEN AFTER HAVING IT LOOKED AT AND 'FIXED' MULTIPLE TIMES. I'VE HEARD THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE.

AT LESS THAN 45000 MILES MY ALTERNATOR STOPPED WORKING, THIS CAUSE MY CAR TO "DIE" IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVY TRAFFIC AREA. UNABLE TO MOVE IT I HAD TO PUSH IT TO A SAFE SPOT THEN WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK. TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS WITH TOWING $1000

THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BLOWING COLD AIR WITH THE HEATER IS ON. WE WENT TO THE DEALER, WHERE WE HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND THEY SAID THE HEATER CORE IS PARTLY PLUGGED & THAT IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $1300, AND THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THERE IS LEFTOVER SAND FROM THE ENGINE CAST WHEN DODGE FIRST PUT THE CAR TOGETHER. THE SAND MADE ITS WAY INTO THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE HEATER CORE THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE USES FOR HEAT. I THINK DODGE SHOULD PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE. I CAN BE DRIVING 30 OR MORE MILE AND THE HEATER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE CAN NOT KEEP UP WITH THE COLD AIR.

VEHICLES AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS, I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID A CODE PULLED INDICATING CIRCUIT 1 IS OPEN, BUT WHEN SEARCHING PARTS IN HIS SYSTEM IT INDICATED THERES NO PARTS FOR FIX AT THIS TIME.

I GOT A LETTER IN MAIL NOV 2016 ABOUT A RECALL. THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE NO PARTS TIL AT LEAST JUNE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE A FAMILY IN THIS CAR. THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING NOW OR CONTACT ME AND GIVE ME A NEW CAR OR RENTAL WAITED LONG ENOUGH . MY CAR ALSO MAKES A NOISE THE COMPANY SAID ALOT OF THE CARS DO IT THEN WHY HASN'T IT BEEN RECALLED. IT IN THE HEATING SYSTEM. I LOVE MY CAR BUT NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IT IN AND WILL NOT BE RECOMMENDING DODGE TO ANYONE FROM NOW ON. THE NOISE HAPPENS 24/7 CAR ON OR OFF. THE RECALL IS FOR AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT SAFETY THAT IS A BIG DEAL. SO WHY ARE THEY DOING NOTHING TO HELP ANYONE WITH ONE OF THESE VEHICLES?? I WORRY EVERYTIME I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR AND WHEN MY KIDS ARE IN IT IF WE ARE EVEN SAFE. RECALL ISSUED IN NOV 6 MONTHS AGO!!!!
