2012 Dodge Avenger Body & Structure Problems

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 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.

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.

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.

I HAVE CONTINUOSLY BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES AND ROTORS, ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING, AND THE LOCK TO MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ISNT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES AND ROTORS REPAIRED THREE TIMES WITHIN A 4 MONTH TIME FRAME. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I DONT KNOW WHAT KIND OF MECHANICAL MELTDOWN THIS VEHICLE IS HAVING. BUT SOME NEEDS TO PROVIDE SOME ANSWERS.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 5:40 PM, 3 DEER RAN OUT AND AFTER SLAMMING ON BRAKES THE LAST ONE WAS STRUCK, HEAD ON. THE HOOD BUCKLED AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE OF THE CAR IMPLODED IN FLAMES. NO AIRBAGS WENT OFF AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY DIED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GET OUT OF CAR HOWEVER, THE CAR BURNED COMPLETELY. THE CAR ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND THE ENGINE, WINDOWS, ENTIRE INSIDE, EVERYTHING BURNED. THERE IS NO DASH, NO STEERING WHEEL, SEATS, FRONT TIRES, ETC ARE GONE. THERE IS VERY LITTLE LEFT AND THE MANUFACTURER HAD AN INVESTIGATION DONE AND WILL NOT TELL ME WHY THIS HAPPENED. MY HUSBAND HAS A 2014 AVENGER AND WE WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS SAFE. BUT WERE TOLD MY MANUFACTURER REPRESENTATIVE THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT WANT IT OUT IN THE PUBLIC. *TR
