2012 DODGE AVENGER Electrical System Problems

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).

I was driving and I stopped at a stop sign. When I got ready to go, the car stalled and stopped and wouldn't start. After 30 minutes, it started but I ended up having it towed. My mechanic was able to replicate it after putting the car in the sun, running it for 10 minutes and then driving it. When the mechanic tried to look at it, he couldn't find anything to cause it to stop. I look it to the dealership. They were unable to replicate it or find the problem. It seems to happen when the car gets hot it stops without warning. Other people in the Dodge Avenger online group have experienced the same thing. The horn also keeps beeping without warning and the airbag sign is on. I think all of these items are connected.

I have been unable to get the safety belt part for the recall. Additionally, it keeps saying I need to replace the gas cap and even the dealership cant help me.

I was driving to the store and out of nowhere my car completely shut down the lights engine everything my steering wheel locked and I couldn't apply my breaks

While driving for about 50miles, the electrical system failed, I lost power to the entire vehicle, steering was hard, brakes hard as well. as I pulled over, the car started back up. Next day car drove fine. Few days later the car cut off at red light in the middle of the intersection while other cars almost hitting me. Changed the fuel pump out because fuel pump would work at times. No one hurt, no incident report made. Car been intermittently cutting off after I think the car is running fine. No fault codes, no loose connections, no warning the car just cut off. I is becoming very dangerous and scary to drive but its the only vehicle i have and I have been spending money trying to figure this ghost out.

Was driving and horn just start going off

The vehicle will shut off in the middle of driving and you lose complete power to the vehicle. Then after it sits for a few hours it will start back up with no issue. I had my vehicle at the dodge dealership 2 times for them to tell me they can't figure it out and that they get alot of avengers with the same issue. But since it's not throwing a code they aren't able to fix it. I also explained that when it shuts off when you are trying to start the car it sounds like it is going to start but it just keeps turning over but won't start and the lightening bolt light comes on at that time. The dealership said they checked everything to see if it was my battery or alternator but everything they checked was good. They said this is a known problem with these cars and the only thing they can advise is to get rid if the vehicle because there isn't a fix for it. Someone is going to get hurt from this issue I have almost been hit numerous times when the vehicle shuts off with no warning. This has been happening a few times a year the whole time I have had this vehicle

My TIPM is failing. Due to this, my vehicle stalls randomly with no repair codes being shown after stalling. Everything from the battery to the catalytic converter has been replaced to no avail. I even almost was killed on the freeway coming home from work one morning because the vehicle stalled after running fine for a couple of weeks. This has been going on for almost a year and I have replaced so many things on this car I basically should have just cut my losses and purchased a new one.

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.

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.

Mileage: 122,630

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 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.

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

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. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AND CHRYSLER IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE DOING ABOUT 65MPH AT 5AM, I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY VEHICLE, MY CAR ALL THE SUDDEN TURNED OFF AND LOST COMPLETE POWER, INCLUDING STEERING, BRAKES, AND ACCELERATION. THE KEY WAS STILL IN THE ON POSITION. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD! HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO COAST AND ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BREAK, I WOULD HAVE CRASHED AND MOST LIKELY SUFFERED SERIOUS BODILY INJURIES OR DEATH. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND I HAVE READ THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS ALREADY AS WELL. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED BECAUSE MY ENGINE TURNED OFF AS WELL AS THE DASHBOARD COMPLETELY WENT DARK TO INCLUDE HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, AND THE HAZARD LIGHTS. MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED IN MOTION ALL THE SUDDEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON TWO TIMES IN ONE WEEK. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED BUT I AM STILL AFRAID TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE DRIVING EITHER ON THE HIGHWAY, INTERSTATE, OR ON ANY STREET. I AM NOT 100% CERTAIN WHAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF WHILE IN MOTION 3 TIMES ALREADY IN ONE WEEK BUT IT HAS CREATED A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORIST ON THE HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR ENGINE BECAUSE THE LOST OF COMPLETE POWER IS WHAT OCCURS EACH TIME.

AT THE INSTANT OF COLLISION, THERE WAS A STRANGE AND PUNGENT ODOR THAT PERMEATED THE INTERIOR OF THE AUTOMOBILE WHEN BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS CAME OUT BUT FAILED TO INFLATE AND TO OFFER ANY SUPPORT. THE AIRBAGS ONLY STAYED LAYING FLAT ON THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD. AT THE INSTANT OF COLLISION, COMPLAINANT STRUCK HIS FOREHEAD AGAINST THE STEERING COLUMN CAUSING COMPLAINT SEVERE NECK TRAUMA, SEVERE SPINAL TRAUMA, SEVERE BACK TRAUMA AND SEVERE HIP TRAUMA... COMPLAINANT WAS WEARING HIS SEAT BELT AT THE TIME AND SO WAS THE PASSENGER. AT THE TIME OF COLLISION THE PASSENGER STRUCK HER ENTIRE FACE AGAINST THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD WHERE THE MALFUNCTIONING AIRBAG.... AT NO TIME DID THE AIRBAGS INFLATE AND THERE WAS SO SORT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BEFORE THE AIRBAGS CAME OUT THAT GAVE OFF A VERY DISTURBING ODOR...
