2013 DODGE AVENGER Unknown Or Other Problems

Both head rest which is attached to airbags or have airbags in them I don’t know but the exploded open. Headrest could have exploded while someone was in the seat and got head injuries. No problem has not been confirmed by anyone but myself,husband and self employed mechanic, I didn’t know what to do. No, no type of warning before it happen. Passenger one exploded January 2025, driver exploded about May 2025.

The passenger side head rest popped out on it's own. Was parked when it happened.

the catalytic converter is making my engine run rough and can't get it inspected because of it. It's costing me more to run the vehicle and I can't afford to get into an accident when the engine stalls.

Put gear shift into park position while parking car. Car did not register that it was supposed to be in park and stayed in drive. Gear was stuck and was unable to shift. Turned car off and car would not turn back on, as well as the shifter not being able to move

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 urgently need your assistance regarding a critical and unsafe situation concerning the PCM/ECU. Recently, while driving, my car began to shudder as if it was on the verge of stalling. To add to the alarming situation, every warning light on the dashboard illuminated. The speedometer and thermostat suddenly stopped functioning, leaving me without crucial information about the vehicle's speed and temperature. This not only compromised my safety but also made it impossible to gauge the car's performance. In response to this hazardous scenario, I immediately pulled over to a stop. Sadly, the car shut off, and despite my attempts, it has refused to restart ever since. The inability to restart presents a severe safety issue and has left me stranded without transportation. Compounding this ordeal, several auto shops have tried to address the PCM/ECU connectivity issues with no success. This recurring problem, combined with the recent dangerous episode on the road, underscores the urgency for resolution. I am deeply concerned about the potential risks posed by the malfunctioning PCM/ECU and the compromised safety of both myself and others on the road. The inability to accurately monitor speed and temperature could have dire consequences if left unaddressed.

Recently bought the car about two months ago and ever since I’ve had it, it was randomly cut off anywhere and anytime and when it cuts off the power steering goes out and it makes it hard to control but I had mechanics that I know personally look at it, and they cannot figure it out no one can figure it out And also the control valve for putting the gas in the car is messed up and I seen that there was a recall for that and as I’m riding down the road, the horn just blows out of nowhere consistently and it could also scare you while you’re driving and that’s dangerous and thank you

The heater in my vehicle continues to not work. Blows out cold air constantly. Unable to defrost my windshield, difficult to see out of a frosted over windshield.

Drivers side blows hot air but passenger side is cold. Had clicking noise coming from glove box and discovered bad blend door actuator. Replaced blend door and clicking went away but still no hot air on passenger side. Defrost struggles to defrost windshield which is a safety issue. I have read numerous complaints on here as well as the internet about people having the same issue yet dodge won’t issue a recall to fix this issue.

The cars heat only works on one side, which causes the windshield and windows to become foggy which is a safety issue while driving

The heating/Defrost System on the car is no longer working. After checking online there appears to be many of the make and model that has this problem due to poor design of the heater core which allows the heater core to corrode and plug much earlier than it should. Because of this problem you cannot keep the front windshield and side windows cleared during the winter. This car only has 62,000 miles.

The heat on the passenger does not work at all I was driving and the frost kept coming back on the windshield I almost had a wreck with another vehicle. The way the sunshine hit the frost on the windshield it shined to bright for me to see. How is this safe? I have seen where many people are having this issue online. It just blows cold air on the passenger side vents. No police were involved but I could’ve ended up in the hospital all because of a little part that won’t get recalled.

My heat seems to be blowing cold air when in fact it should be only heat blowing

Under the hood there’s electric tape holding wires together. Which is illegal. The check engine light came on since I got the car. I can’t fill my gas tank to fill cause the check engine light comes on. So it’s at half tank and can’t fill it to fill. My car did stall twice. Then there is hissing under the driver’s front side. The back end of my car feels like is going to fall apart this is a issue since I got the car. I have brought it to the dealership and they did nothing to fix any issues with the car since I got the car

ON APR 11,2021 I WAS DRIVING AROUND 35-40 MPH AND MY HOOD CAME FLYING UP IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE CALL CHRYSLER AND THEY SENT OUT INSPECTOR RON MARNESE, WHO INSPECTED THE CAR AND FOUND THE SECONDARY LATCH WAS NOT WORKING. CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX MY CAR DUE TO IT BEING OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE IS NO RECALL. INSPECTOR HAD TOLD ME THAT HE THOUGHT THAT ENGINEERING WOULD WANT THE LATCH AND THOUGHT THIS WOULD GET REPAIRED BY THEM DUE TO THE CAR BEING IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. CHRYSLER DID NOT SEEM TO CARE THE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

PASSENGER SIDE HEAT IS INOP RESULTING IN WINDSHIELD FOGGING OVER WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSING AN ISSUE SEEING THE ROAD AS THE ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM IS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN PROPER CLIMATE CONTROL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY WINTER, AND WHENEVER IT RAINS. THIS IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM IN HIGHWAY, AND CITY TRAFFIC RESULTING IN NEAR ACCIDENTS. I'VE HAD THIS CARS SYSTEM FLUSHED AND THAT IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AS STATED FROM MECHANICS.

Mileage: 204,791

PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR AND WILL NOT DEFROST THE FRONT WINDOW WHEN DRIVING. WE LIVE IN MT AND THIS CAUSES VISIBILITY ISSUES AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS. ALSO, THE VEHICLE KEEPS QUITTING AT VARIOUS TIMES. IT HAS BEEN SEEN MULTIPLE TIMES AND OVER $5K DROPPED INTO IT WITH THE SAME ISSUES

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY CEL LIGHT CAME ON. I BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD O INVESTIGATE IT. MY CAR WOULD NOT RUN, AND I HAD TO GET TOWED HOME...... TURNS OUT THE MY UPPER RADIATOR HOSE WAS BROKEN WHERE THE FITTING GOES INTO THE HOSE. AFTER TRYING TO FIND THE FITTING I WAS TOLD I HAD TO BUY THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. CONFUSED AS TO WHY I HAD TO BUY THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY I LOOKED AT THE NEW PART AND IT HAD BEEN REDESIGNED WHERE THE FITTING IS NOW HELD ON BY A MORE PERMANENT HEAT-SHRINK LOOKING TUBE INSTEAD OF HOSE CLAMPS. WELL, SEEING THAT THE UPPER RADIATOR HOSE IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE RADIATOR I WAS ALSO A LITTLE CONFUSED AS TOO WHY YOU WOULD WANT CONSUMERS TO HAVE TO SPEND 100.00 FOR JUST THE PART , IF THEY ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE PARKED AND FIND IT, BUT IF THEY ARE UNLUCKY LIKE MYSELF THEN THEY ALSO RECEIVE A TOW BILL ON TOP OF THAT. SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN REDIESIGNED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL BECAUSE IF/WHEN THE FITTING DECIDES TO BREAK NOT ONLY DID MY CAR CUT OFF BUT THERE IS A BIG LIKLEYHOOD THAT IT COULD LOCK UP OR EVEN DAMAGE YOUR WATER PUMP , ENGINE, ETC.

MY VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY STOLEN AND THE COLOR OF MY VEHICLE WAS VERY RARE LIGHT BLUE AND RECENTLY I HAVE COME ACROSS A VEHICLE THAT'S FOR SALE EVEN THOUGH IT DOES HAVE A DIFFERENT VIN NUMBER IN DIFFERENT MILEAGE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SAME VEHICLE COLOR BEEN IN MY AREA FOR SALE END IT WAS STOLEN OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AFTER IT WAS RETURNED BACK FROM A CAR SHOP I KNOW THE RUSSIANS ARE PRETTY LEGIT AND STEALING VEHICLES IN OUR AREA AND PUTTING THEM AND DOING DIFFERENT THINGS I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY MY VEHICLETHEY HAVE BEEN SWITCHED UP AND IF THERE'S ANYWAY THAT I CAN LOOK AT IT

VENT DOORS KEEP FAILING, DRIVER SIDE VENT GETS HOT WHILE ONE OF THE VENTS IN THE MIDDLE IS WARM AND THE OTHER IS COOL. PASSANGER SIDE IS COLD AS CAN BE. THIS IS WHILE USING THE HEATER. I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE ONLINE TALK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO SEEN REPORTS ON NHTSA ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES. I ALSO HAVE REPLACED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES.

THE DAY I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, IT WAS BLOWING WARM AIR ON DRIFTS SIDE, COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT. THIS WAS DECEMBER 6TH 2017. WHEN APRIL CAME AROUND AND TRIED TO RUN THE AC INSTEAD OF HEAT, THE ACTUATORS KEEP CLICKING. DOES THIS WHETHER OR NOT THE CAR IS RUNNING. CHANGED ALL 3. VERY SHORT TERM FIX. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT ISSUE AND APPARENTLY IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH MOST DODGE VEHICLES! THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. HERE WE ARE OCTOBER 2020. STILL AN ISSUE. NOW THE INSIDE DOOR IS COMPLETELY STUCK. WILL NOT SWITCH DOOR OFF OF THE DEFROSTER. CANNOT AFFORD TO CONTINUALLY TAKE THIS BACK TO THE DEALER EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT'S DUE TO FAULTY\CHEAP PARTS.

Mileage: 51,000

REPLACED HEATER CORE AND AIR DOOR ACTUATOR 12/13 MONTHS AGO BECAUSE PASSENGER SIDE BLEW ICE COLD AIR DRIVER SIDE HOT AIR. ALSO DEFOGGER/DEFROST DID NOT WORK. NO VISIBILITY THROUGHOUT WINDSHIELD ON PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO ICE BUILD UP. SAME PROBLEM AFTER JUST 12-13 MONTHS. NOW IT INCLUDES A THUMPNG NOISE UNDER THE DASHBOARD WHEN AC IS TURNED ON.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55 MPH THEN SUDDENLY MY CAR STALLED. MY CAR SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. I SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT IT WAS FOR THE SMALLER ENGINE WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE MY ENGINE. I JUST TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID THEIR WAS AN OIL PRESSURE PROBLEM WHICH CAUSED THE OIL HOUSING TO LEAK.

TWICE NOW I'VE HAD TO HAVE MY HEATER CORE REPLACED AS THE PASSENGER BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN IT SHOULD BE HEAT JUST LIKE THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY DODGE ABD THEY WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM OR EVEN ASSIST WITH IT.

Mileage: 61,000

THE ISSUE OCCURS MOSTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, BUT OCCASIONALLY WHEN IT IS SITTING STILL AND IDLING. WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY STALL. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS TURN ON. NO CODES ARE FOUND WHEN SCANNING THE OBD2. THERE ARE NO RECORDED MISS FIRES FOR ANY OF THE CYLINDERS EITHER. THIS IS AN ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION SPECIFICALLY WHEN DRIVING FULL SPEED ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS OR ROADS. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, POWER STEERING CUTS OUT AND I HAVE TO MUSCLE THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND START IT UP AGAIN. THE ENGINE HAS STALLED WHILE GOING IN REVERSE, DRIVING FORWARD, AND SITTING IDLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A DOZEN TIMES NOW.

Mileage: 133,550

2013 DODGE AVENGER HAS RANDOMLY STARTED HONKING THE HORN WHILE STOPPED AND IN MOTION. THE HONKING LASTS ANYWHERE FROM A QUICK HONK TO SOUNDING LIKE I AM LAYING ON THE HORN FOR MINUTES GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY. I HAVE TRIED PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WHICH DID NOT HELP OR STOP THE HORN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

Mileage: 170,000

2013 DODGE AVENGER HEATER/DEFROST NOT PROPERLY WORKING. IT HAS BEGUN TO GO OUT ONE VENT AT A TIME LEAVING ONLY ONE VENT BLOWING WARM AIR ALL OTHERS BLOW COLD. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS WHEN IT DOES NOT DEFROST PROPERLY AND WHEN NEEDING DEFROST WHILE DRIVING IT ONLY MAKES THE WINDSHIELD VISIBLE THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE WITH THE HEAT. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS ISSUE BY CHANGING BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS AND FLUSHING THE HEATER CORE WHICH CAME OUT CLEAR.

Mileage: 120,000

FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS MY HORN GOES OFF ON ITS OWN. SOMETIMES IT GOES OFF WHEN I LOCK MY CAR, OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT. IT WILL SOMETIMES CLICK, AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL BLARE FOR 5 SECONDS. IT IS VERY STARTLING ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC OR SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT. ONCE I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN, AND IT WENT OFF FOR ABOUT 8 SECONDS AND AT THE SAME TIME MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED TO STALL AND NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE HORN DOES NOT WORK WHEN I PUSH ON IT LIKE IT SHOULD. IT IS VERY CONCERNING SINCE IT CAN CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES.

Mileage: 95,000

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT BLOWS COLD AIR,THEREFORE WHEN TRYING TO DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD MY WINDSHIELD FROSTED BACK UP AFTER BEING SCRAPED OF ICE AND BEGAN TO SPREAD TO THE DRIVERS SIDE WHICH MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

THE HEATER WILL ONLY COME OUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. WITH THE HEATER ON ONLY COLD AIR WILL COME OUT

Mileage: 100,000

WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 12/19/2019 FOR TWO RECALLS ON MY CAR. THE REPAIR WAS STATED THAT IT WOULD TAKE 2-3 HOURS BUT TOOK 5 HOURS. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR STARTED BACKING UP OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY ON ITS ON AND NOW IT DOES NOT START. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL THEM THE PROBLEM AND THEY STATED THAT I HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO BRING THE CAR THERE AND PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF. MY CAR WAS FINE BEFORE THEY WORKED ON IT.

CAR ONLY BLOWS HEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2013 AND ABOUT 3 YEARS AFTER PURCHASING THE HEAT HAS GONE OUT BUT THE AIR WORKS FINE IN SUMMER, SO I'VE BEEN WITHOUT HEAT BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR COST AND I WILL DEFINITELY NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE ON ACCOUNT THAT AFTER READING THAT SO MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE VERY SAME PROBLEM BUT YET DODGE DOES NOT SEE THE NEED TO DO A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM....SO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ENDS AFTER YOU SAY I DO!

Mileage: 36,000

THE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR WHEN HEATER IS ON, BUT PASSENGER REMAINS COLD. CANNOT GET PASSENGER SIDE TO DEFROST / DEFOG BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE DAY IT WAS BOUGHT. EVEN WHEN I WAS IN WARRANTY (BUMPER TO BUMPER) I STILL WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER STATIONARY / IDLE OR DRIVING.

MY CAR BEGAN CLICKING, APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS AT A TIME, LATE WINTER EARLY SPRING 2018-2019 WHEN THE HEAT WAS TURNED ON. I CAME TO REALIZE THE CAR DID NOT NEED TO BE RUNNING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. DURING AN OIL CHANGE THE FOLLOWING WEEK I WAS TOLD THE CLICKING HAD TO DO WITH THE VENTS AND HOW COMMON THIS CLICKING WAS AND THAT REPAIR EAS NOT GUARANTEED. AS I AM THE PRIMARY PERSON/OCCUPANT IN MY CAR, I FOUND OUT LATER THE HEAT ONLY PRODUCED WARM AIR. THIS IS MY 1ST TIME OWNING A DODGE AND EVERYDAY MY EXPERIENCES WITH THIS CAR REAFFIRMS I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER. I MAKE IT A POINT TO TELL ANY AND EVERYONE THIS FACT. I HAVE COPIED SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS LOGGED ABOUT THIS AND MY OTHER ISSUE, CAR STALLING WHILE TURNING LEFT TO ENTER THE FREEWAY WITH THROTTLE INDICATOR. I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ALONE AND FEMALE UNTIL TOW ARRIVED AT 9PM AND THE COST FOR AN ALTERNATOR WHICH AFTER READING THIS MAY NOT BE THE ISSUE.... HAD I KNOWN HOW UNRESPONSIVE DODGE IS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS BY PUTTING THEIR PROFIT OVER OUR COST OF REPAIRS... AGAIN, I TELL EVERYONE WHAT THEY ARE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE IF THEY PURCHASE THE AVENGER. THE COMPLAINANTS LISTED HERE AND ON OTHER SITES VERY LIKELY AGREE. ATTACHED PICS WERE TIME STAMPED 6.39PM. I SAT ON THE ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS.

Mileage: 103,000

THE HEAT ONLY WORKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE THE VENTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STILL BLOW AIR BUT IT IS ICE COLD WHETHER THE CAR IS PARKED OR IN MOTION THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT BLOW OUT WARM AIR THIS IS AN ISSUES THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE AVENGER AND THE HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF FROM 3 SECONDS TO 3 MINUTES CONSTANTLY. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR IT CUTS OFF. MY CAR HAS ONLY 85000 MILES AND I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS VEHICLE AROUND THAT MILEAGE.

Mileage: 2

FOR THE PAST YEAR, MY CAR RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON FOR WHEN IT STALLS, SO I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. NO LIGHTS EVER APPEAR ON THE DASH. AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW MINUTES, MY CAR USUALLY STARTS BACK UP AGAIN. IN ADDITION TO THE ENGINE STALLING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STUTTER AND THE CAR HORN RANDOMLY SOUNDS FROM ANYWHERE BETWEEN A SECOND TO A FULL MINUTE. I'M NOT SURE IF THE TWO ISSUES ARE RELATED AT ALL, BUT I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND GOTTEN VARIOUS PARTS REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE TWO RECALLS FOR 2013 DODGE AVENGERS FOR AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE STALLING, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY 2013 DODGE AVENGER IS NOT INCLUDED--EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SAY HOW DANGEROUS IT IS FOR ONE'S ENGINE TO STALL OUT ON A HIGHWAY. MY HUSBAND ALMOST GOT HIT BY AN 18-WHEELER AS THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE HE WAS DRIVING IN FRONT OF IT. THE STEERING-WHEEL LOCKED, BUT LUCKILY HE WAS ABLE TO SOMEHOW STEER OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE SHOULDER. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR IN THIS CONDITION.

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE HEAT DOES NOT OPERATE AS EXPECTED. THRU HOURS OF RESEARCH THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY HEATER CORE. THE ISSUE IS VERY COMMON ACROSS MANY DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THE HEATER CORES ARE DEFECTIVE AND EVEN AFTER FLUSHING, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIRS THE HEATER CORE WILL NOT PRODUCE HEAT AS NECESSARY. FOR MOST PEOPLE THIS PROBLEM IS AN INCONVENIENCE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THIS ISSUE CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO DRIVING. TRULY HAVING OPTIMAL HEAT DURING WINTER MONTHS IS CRUCIAL TO KEEPING THE WINDSHIELD CLEAN. HAVING THE NECESSARY HEAT IS THE ONLY WAY IN COLD WEATHER TO KEEP THE WINDSHIELD FROM FOGGING AND FROM BEING ICED OVER IN WINTER STORMS. I HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND CLEAN MY WINDSHIELD OTHERWISE THE DRIVING WAS DANGEROUS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY BECAUSE NO HEAT COMES OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE INTERIOR. THIS LACK OF HEAT CAUSED ICE AND FOG TO BE AN ISSUE ON MY CAR IN NUMEROUS SITUATIONS OVER THE COURSE OF THE 2018-2019 WINTER IN MINNESOTA. I DROVE ON HWY 169 FOR JUST 5-20 MILES AND WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER DUE TO LACK OF HEAT AND BUILD UP OF FOG AND ICE. I AM VERY SURE FROM READING OTHER PEOPLES EXPERIENCES THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME FEELINGS. AS MENTIONED, THIS PROBLEM IS CHRONIC AND A SIMPLE PART REPLACEMENT WONT SOLVE THE RECURRING PROBLEM. IF THERE IS ANY WAY A REPLACEMENT HEATER CORE PLUS A NEW TYPE OF COOLANT CAN BE BROUGHT FORWARD AS A RECALL FIX, THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT THE CONSISTENT AND CHRONIC FAILURE OF THE HEATER CORE CAN BE FIXED AND LOTS OF PEOPLE NEED THIS. PLEASE HELP, THANK YOU.

THE HEAD GASKET FAILED AND WAS REPLACED DESPITE PROTESTATIONS FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I LEARNED THE HEAD GASKET HAD A DESIGN FLAW CAUSING IT TO FAIL PREMATURELY. CATALYTIC CONVERTER RECALLED, DEALERSHIP ADVISED IT WAS UNKNOWN WHEN IT WOULD REPAIRED. RECALL ADVISED DELAY COULD DAMAGE ENGINE. FINALLY REPAIRED AFTER COMPLAINT TO DEALERSHIP GM. VEHICLE IS MAKING NOISES AND LOSING POWER SUDDENLY, THEN SUDDEN INCREASE OF RPM WHILE DRIVING. SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER COULD CAUSE CRASH IN TRAFFIC, SAME WITH SUDDEN RPM INCREASE. FAN WIRING HARNESS RECALLED, DEALERSHIP ADVISED OF FAILURE TO FAN WHEN TAKEN IN FOR HEADGASKET, NOTHING DONE. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS MADE WITH DODGE HQ.

WINDOW GOES DOWN BUT WILL NOTCOME BACK UP. MOTOR IS EITHER BLOWN , REGULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OR SWITCHS GONE BAD. I FIXED THIS BEFORE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE AGAIN. AUGUST 27, 2019 AT 1:00AM

NO HEAT IN CAR AT ALL. REPLACED ACTUATORS, HEAT/AC CONTROL MODULE, FLUSHED HEATER CORE AND EVEN TOOK TO MECHANIC AND NO FIX. THIS IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. DODGE NEEDS TO GET THEIR CRAP TOGETHER AND ADDRESS THIS. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER POS DODGE AGAIN.

I HAVE TODAY OWNED THIS USED 2013 DODGE AVENGER AND THERE ARE 3 PROBLEMS THAT MAKE ME CRINGE. FIRST SOMEHOW THE BACK BUSHINGS ARE DONE ON THE CONTROL ARM, IT MAKES A VERY LOUD NOISE OVER BUMPS. SECOND THE AC IS LEAKING AND NOW HAVE TO TAKE IT TO DODGE BECAUSE THEY MAKE IT SO I CANT DO IT MYSELF AND WANT ME TO PAY 1000 BECAUSE ITS A NAME YOUR PRICE KINDA THING, JERKS. LASTLY AFTER ONLY 6 YEARS I HAVE RUST EVERYWHERE. I WASH MY CAR EVERY 2 WEEKS BUT DODGE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO USE THE CHEAPEST METAL TO BUILD THEIR CARS. NEVER GONNA BUY A DODGE AGAIN, THEY MAKE AMERICA LOOK BAD WITH THE GARBAGE IT PUTS OUT, HOW CAN ANYBODY TAKE PRIDE IN THE CAR THEY OWN IF ITS CRAP.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE AVENGER SXT ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HEARD A POP. AND THEN I FELT ALL THIS AIR BUT ALL WINDOWS WAS UP. I PULL MY SUNROOF COVER BACK AND LOOK AND MY SUNROOF EXPLODED.GLASS EVERYWHERE. MY SUNROOF WAS NOT OPEN AND IT WAS NOT IN THE VENT OPEN OPTION EITHER. IT WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED WHEN THIS HAPPENED ON APRIL 29,2019 AROUND 10:45 AM IN THE MORNING.

Mileage: 191,000

I FEEL HEAT COMING FROM THE VENT NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE MIDDLE VENTS ALONG WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW VENT ONLY BLOWS ALMOST A/C COOL AIR ALL THE TIME.

Mileage: 3,000

DRIVER SIDE BLOWS LIKE WARM HEAT, PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS FREEZING COLD AIR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THREE DIFFERENT DODGE TECHNICIANS AND THEY SAID THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE BETWEEN 2010 AND 2015 DODGE AVENGERS AND ALL DODGE VANS. SOMETIMES REPLACING THE HEATER CORE WILL FIX IT SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT. SOMETIMES REPLACING BOTH THERMOSTATS FIXES IT AND SOMETIMES NOT. SOMETIMES REPLACING BOTH BLENDER DOOR ACTUATORS FIXES IT SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. SOMETIMES REPLACING THE WATER PUMP FIXES IT AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED ALL OF THOSE THINGS AND IT STILL DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS RIDICULOUS! THIS IS THE FIRST DODGE I HAVE EVER OWNED AND IT ABSOLUTELY WILL BE THE LAST DODGE I WILL EVER OWN!

Mileage: 87,000

THE ACTUATOR BEHIND GLOVE BOX BEGAN TICKING. I REPLACED IT 3 TIMES. I HAVE NOW RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS IS A KNOWN HEATER CORE ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT HAS A SPLIT CORE SYSTEM. THE HEAT OR DEFROST DOES NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS. THE COST TO FIX IS AN AVERAGE OF $1100. BUT THIS FIX ONLY WORKS FOR AN AVERAGE OF 1 YEAR AND THEN IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. IT IS MOST DEFINITELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT THE DEFROST DOES NOT WORK. WINDSHIELD IS OBSTRUCTED ON ONE SIDE. WILL DODGE DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM OF SOME SORT. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 89K MILES ON IT. I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP TO COME IN AND PAY $150 FOR DIAGNOSTICS THEN IF IT WAS A CORE PROBLEM IT WOULD BE AROUND $1200 BUT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL I PAID THE $150. WHEN I COMPLAINED THAT IT APPEARED TO BE A DODGE ISSUE ON AVENGERS THE TECH SAID "GOOD LUCK WITH THAT" AND HUNG UP.

MY CAR HAS LOST ALL HEAT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM LIVING IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN WHERE WE HAVE WINTER FOR 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. I RECENTLY FIXED THE DOOR ACTUATOR BECAUSE OF THE CLICKING AND THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE HEAT PROBLEM AS WELL SINCE THEY SEEMED TO START AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME. THIS DID NOT FIX THE HEAT ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH NO ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM. MANY HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RETURN AFTER A SHORT TIME. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN AVENGER ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY CHRYSLER. AS THE DRIVER, I AM WARM, WHILE MY CHILDREN ARE FREEZING.

THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT IN MY 2013 DODGER AVENGER, AFTER HAVING THE PUMP REPLACED, THE PROBLEM WAS STILL NOT FIXED. THEN THE HEAT STOPS WORKING, COST O FIX THAT (SUPPOSEDLY THE HEATER CORE) AND THE POWER STEERING (RACK AND PINION ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL DODGER DEALERSHIP) IS APPROX $2000. A QUICK SEARCH IN THE INTER SHOWS THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS IN THIS YEAR AVENGER. IT IS THE WAY THE ENGINE WAS PRODUCED THAT YEAR. WHEN IS THERE GOING TO BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THESE ENGINES THAT LOSE POWER STEERING, LIKE MINE DID, LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER BOUGHT THIS CAR.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, 2 NIGHTS IN A ROW, THE CAR JUST STOPS. I AM PRESSING ON THE GAS BUT IT STOPS AS IF I'M NOT ACCELERATING. I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX 45 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT HAPPENED A HANDFUL OF TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG BECAUSE IT WASN'T DOING IT RIGHT AT THAT TIME. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT HAD THE SAME KIND OF CAR AND ACTUALLY GOT A RID OF IT THROUGH THE LEMON LAW BECAUSE IT DID THE SAME THING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR JUST STOPS AND THE WAY I GO TO WORK THERE IS RARELY SOMEWHERE TO PULL OVER LEAVING ME SITTING IN MOVING TRAFFIC BUT I'M NOT MOVING. THERE IS NO CORRELATION REGARDING THE SPEED OR THE TYPE OF ROAD I AM TRAVELING. IT JUST HAPPENED TO BE THIS TIME THAT IT WAS APPROX THE SAME SPEED AND SAME ROAD. WE KEEP ALL OF OUR MAINTENANCE UP ON OUR VEHICLES. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP US AS FOR I AM NOT IN THE POSITION TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE RIGHT NOW NOT TO MENTION THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT I DRIVE MY 21 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AROUND IN THIS CAR AT TIMES. ** PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INFORMATION GIVEN BELOW IS THE APPROX CURRENT MILEAGE AND THE DATE THAT THIS MOST RECENTLY OCCURRED. AS I MENTIONED BEFORE IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, WHEN IT WAS MUCH NEWER, LESS MILES, DIFFERENT SPEED, ETC.

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE AVENGER, GIVEN TO ME AS A GIFT MAY 2013. THE CAR WAS ONLY ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD(10/13/2017) AND I STARTED HEARING A STRANGE CLICKING SOUND, COMING FROM UNDER THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. SOMETIMES THE HEAT/ AC WOULDN'T KICK ON FOR A FEW MINUTES. IT ENDED UP BEING THE MODE DOOR ACTUATOR,IT COST ME OVER $ 400 ,I ALSO NEEDED FRONT PADS AND ROTORS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 18,000 MILES ON IT. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE HOOD OF THE CAR REPLACED (SEPT. 5,2017) BECAUSE THE PAINT STARTED PEELING, THIS AT LEAST WAS COVERED BY DODGE , BECAUSE THEY SAID MINE WAS NOT THE ONLY VEHICLE TO HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE, NOT BECAUSE OF THE WARRANTY. NOW I JUST HAD ALL 4 TIRES, AND BRAKES DONE , BETWEEN 7/2018 AND 11/2018. THE CAR ONLY HAD ABOUT 22,000 MILES. HERE WE ARE IN DECEMBER OF 2018, I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE CONTROL ,$360.00, AND NOW I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER, 28 ,2018, TO GET THE AXLE SEAL, RIGHT SIDE, AND THE TRANSAXLE OIL COOLER PIPES, INLET AND RETURN REPLACED , COST $164.20, AND $364.29 RESPECTIVELY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 24,241 MILES ON IT, I HAVE ALL THE OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION RECORDS, ALL IS UP TO DATE AND WERE ALWAYS DONE ROUTINELY. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AND AM FRUSTRATED WITH THESE ISSUES. I HAVE ALSO READ UP ON OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM AVENGER OWNERS. DODGE NEEDS TO RESPOND TO THESE PROBLEMS. I AM VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS GIFT AND THE FACT THAT I ALL SEEM TO BE DOING IS SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY DEALING WITH ONE THING AFTER THE NEXT.

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY 2013 HEATING SYSTEM. MY DRIVER SIDE VENTS ARE BLOWING HOT AIR , THOUGH MY PASSENGER SIDE IS BLOWING COLD AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS! BAD TIME OF YEAR FOR THIS PROBLEM, MY CHILD AND MYSELF WILL BE FREEZING THIS WINTER! ALSO IT HAS UNDER 100,000 MILES ON IT !! AND NO, IT HAPPENS PARKED OR IN MOTION .THANKS DODGE

2013 DODGE AVENGER HEATER ISSUE. DOES NOT HEAT ON RIGHT SIDE. THE CENTER DASH VENT ON THE RIGHT BLOWS WARM BUT NOTICEABLY COLDER THE. THE LEFT ONE RIGHT NEXT TO IT THAT VENT IN THE DASH NEXT TO THE DOOR AND THE FLOOR VENT FOR THE REAR ARE NOT E EN WARM AL ALL. CAUSES RIGHT SIDE OF WINDSHIELD, RIGHT SIDE WINDOWS AND REAR WINDOW TO FOG UP WHILE DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER. I HAVE HAD THE RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE FLUSHED SEVERAL TIMES AND EVEN REPLACED, ONLY A TEMP SOLUTION, ABOUT 1 WEEK. I HAVE REPLACES THE HEATER CONTROL PANEL AND DOOR ACTUATORS, NO HELP. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, INTERNET AND TALKING TO REPAIR SHOPS AND DEALER SERVICE EMPLOYEES. THIS IS A CHRONIC DESIGN PROBLEM THAT THERE IS NO SOLID SOLUTION FOR.

Mileage: 99,000

NO HEAT PASSENGER SIDE TOP OR BOTTOM ANY TIME WHEN DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER WHEN DRIVING OR STOPPED STARTED 2017 GETTING WORST TOLD BY DEALER IT IS PLUG HEATER CORE HAVE TALK TO SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SAME PROBLEM

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 TEMPERATURES NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING DURING COLD WEATHER (BLOWING COLD AIR INTO THE CABIN).

THERES A CLICKING SOUND WHEN YOU USE HEAT OR AC UNIT. CLICKING SINCE WE GOT CAR 7/2016. SOMETIMES WHENS IGNITION IS OFF IT STILL DOES IT. SOMETIMES MY FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW WON'T WORK, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN. HAPPENED TWICE IN NOVEMBER 2018. WAS PARKED AND STARTED DRIVING. WHILE LATER WINDOW WENT UP. ALSO I'VE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICES. GOT CAR JULY 2016 IN KENTUCKY. NOW LIVE AT 8974 LOWMILLER RD MINERVA, OHIO 44657. HOW DO I KNOW WHAT ALL RECALLS THERE IS? WILL I HAVE TO PAY THESE RECALLS TO BE FIXED? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

WHEN FIRST STARTING CAR IT HEAT IS ON, THERE IS CLICKING FROM GLOVE BOX. NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR ONLY ON DRIVERS SIDE

WHEN VEHICLE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS NO HEAT AND WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDS REPLACED DUE TO THE COOLANT THAT'S IN THE SYSTEM. THE DRIVERS SEE HAS HEAT BUT NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE

TAKATA RECALL...I HAVE A 2013 DODGE AVENGER.. MY REAR AIRBAG POP OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, MY FRONT VENTS ARE BLOWING OUT COLD AND HOT AIR AT THE SAME TIME.

HEATING SYSTEM. PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT BLOW WARM / HOT AIR WHEN HEATER IS ACTIVATED. HEAT ONLY COMES THROUGH DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE WHILE COOL / COLD AIR IS BLOWN THROUGH PASSENGER SIDE. NOT GOOD WHEN IT IS COLD OUT AND WE EXPERIENCE FROST OR SNOW CONDITIONS.

HEATER WILL ONLY BLOW COLD AIR. AT FIRST THE HEATER WOULD BLOW HOT AIR ON ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN JAN 2018 TO FIX. THEY FLUSHED THE SYSTEM AND REPLACED THE DOOR ACTUATORS. AFTER THIS IT BLEW WARM AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT ONLY LASTED FOR A FEW WEEKS. THE CAR WILL NOW ONLY BLOW COLD AIR ON BOTH SIDES. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP RECENTLY AND THEY'RE NOW SAYING WE'LL NEED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR, RADIATOR CAP, RESERVOIR, ENGINE OIL COOLER, THERMOSTAT, AND HEATER CORE WHICH WILL COST ME $2700. NOTHING WAS DONE WRONG ON MY SIDE AND THIS IS SIMPLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AS THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WITH AVENGERS AND THERE'RE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE IN FORUMS SAYING THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO THEIR DODGE AVENGER. MY CAR HAS ONLY 81K MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A DEFECT WHEN THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND DO A RECALL. I PAID OVER $200 IN JAN 2018 FOR FLUSHING THE SYSTEM AND DOOR ACTUATORS. I PAID $103.96 TODAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. THEY QUOTED ME $2700 FOR REPLACING THE PARTS MENTIONED ABOVE. THAT WORK HASN'T BEEN DONE YET.

HORN KEEPS GOING OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING, WHILE PARKED OR TURNING CAR OFF. WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE HAD LOSS OF POWER AND STALLED THE SAME DAY THAT HORN WAS GOING OFF. WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET AT 30 MPH WHEN VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE STALLED.

HVAC SYSTEM HAS PROBLEMS. DRIVER SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR BUT PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR. THERE IS A LOT OF CLICKING BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX. I HAVE REPLACED THE ACTUATOR ONCE ALREADY. IT DID NOT FIX THE HEAT AND COLD ISSUE. THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWING COLD AIR CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP AND THE PASSENGER WINDOW TO FOG UP. BECOMES A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN, ON THE HIGHWAY, EVERYWHERE.

Mileage: 115,000

THE HEATER ONLY BLOWS WARM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, ALSO THE AIR CONDITIONER JUST STARTED THE SAME THING. THE AIR CONDITIONER ONLY BLOWS COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN I GOOGLED THE PROBLEMS THAT MY CAR IS HAVING THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL OF THESE AVENGERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS GOT TO BE A MANUFACTURE ISSUE. VIN DOES NOT MATCH WITH ATTACHMENT, SEE ATTACHMENT.*JB

VEHICLE STALLING AND SHAKING, SHUTTING DOWN AND LOOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. VERY UNSAFE AND CONCERNING

Mileage: 83,500

PURCHASED CAR WITH 61,000 MILES AND RIGHT WHEN I PICKED UP CAR NOTICED THAT PASSENGERS SIDE AIR WAS COLD AND DRIVERS SIDE WAS HOT. ALSO WHEN ADJUSTING AIRFLOW FROM VENT, DEFROST, FLOOR, FLOOR/VENT IT DOES NOT CORRECTLY HAVE THE AIR COME OUT AT THE SELECTED LOCATION. THIS IS A PROBLEM HAPPENING WITH THE DODGE AVENGER AND THERE IS NO ANSWER OUT THERE SAYING WHY THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALL YEAR NOT JUST ONE YEAR OF THE DODGE AVENGER. DODGE KNOWS THIS IS A RECALL ITEM BUT WILL NOT ADMIT THEY HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND ASSIST THERE CUSTOMERS. THERE ARE VARIOUS IDEAS OUT THERE SAYING WHY IT IS HAPPENING BUT AS PEOPLE TRY THOSE SOLUTIONS THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED OR IT COMES RIGHT BACK. DODGE NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A RECALL IT IS COSTING CUSTOMERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND KNOW ONE KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX 100% INCLUDING DODGE DEALERS. PLEASE HELP AND GET THIS ISSUE TO BE A RECALL. THE OWNER BEFORE ME HAD THIS PROBLEM AND COULD NOT GET IT CORRECTED AS I FOUND OUT AND THAT IS WHY THEY GOT RID OF IT AS I LOOK MORE INTO THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT NO HEAT WAS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE HEATER. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO LARRY H. MILLER DODGE RAM SANDY (10985 S AUTO MALL DR, SANDY, UT 84070) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE OIL HEATER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED FOR THIS FAILURE. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE THREE YEAR MARK, NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

Mileage: 64,000

THE VEHICLE'S HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND WARM AIR FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE SIMULTANEOUSLY. ALL VENTS ( FOOT AREA, FACE AREA, AND WINDSHIELD AREA) ARE AFFECTED.

THE A/C / HEATER BLOWS HOT AIR ON DRIVER SIDE AND COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. DIFFICULT TO DEFROST WINDSHIELD. REPLACED THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR BEHIND GLOVE BOX. THIS ONLY FIXED THE CLICKING NOISE. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

Mileage: 97,000

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS MOVING OR IF IT IS STATIONARY, THERE IS ONLY WARM AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THERE IS COLD AIR BLOWING OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ONLY THE DRIVERS HALF OF MY WINDSHIELD WILL DEFROST. I HAVE REPLACED THE ACTUATOR TWICE AND IT DOES NOT HELP. THE CLICKING UNDER THE DASHBOARD NOT ONLY RETURNS, BUT THE HEAT (OR LACK-THERE-OF) IS NOT AFFECTED. IT STILL ONLY BLOWS WARM AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR. THE DEFROST ONLY WORKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO AVENGERS ACROSS THE BOARD, NO MATTER THE MODEL TYPE. ALL DUE IT LOOKS LIKE TO CASTING AND SAND ISSUES. AFTER FLUSHING THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES, THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE. REPLACED THE HEATER CORE/THERMOSTAT ($850) AND THE HEAT WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN STARTED BLOWING COLD AIR AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE HEATER CONTROL PANEL. ($275). COLD AIR AGAIN......... THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OF SOMETHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. NOTHING IS WORKING AND IT'S ONLY COSTING A WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY.

Mileage: 71,000

WHEN THE HEATER IS ON FOR A WHILE THE CLICKING NOISE COMES ON

HEATER BLOWING COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT BLOWS VERY LITTLE HOT AIR ONLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE DEFROST DOES NOT WORK HARDLY AT ALL DUE TO THIS SITUATION. THIS ALL STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF TO 2 YEARS AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW. I FEEL LIKE IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN THE DEFROST IS NEEDED. I TOOK MY CAR TO A DODGE DEALER LAST WEEK AND PAID TO HAVE MY CAR FLUSHED IN HOPES OF MAKING THE HEATER WORK. THAT DIDN'T HELP SO THEY SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A NEW HEATER CORE. SO AFTER OWNING A BRAND NEW CAR FOR A YEAR AND A HALF TO 2 YEARS SHOULD NOT IN MY OPINION NEED A NEW HEATER CORE. I'VE BEEN READING A LOT OF REVIEWS ON THESE CARS AND I SEE WHERE LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME EXACT THING AS MYSELF. SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH THE MAKING OF THIS PARTICULAR CAR.

CLICKING NOISE ON PASSENGER SIDE UPON STARTING CAR. PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS ONLY COLD AIR, BUT DRIVER SIDE BLOWS HEAR WITHOUT A PROBLEM

COLD AIR IS BLOWING OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE VENTS. DRIVER SIDE VENTS BLOW HOT AIR.

HEATER CORE PROBLEM, NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE, CASING SAND CLOGGING THE RADIATOR

HEATER BLOWING COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. DEALERSHIP STATES HEATER CORE IS PLUGGED UP AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. RECALL SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED.

I HAVE A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM MY GLOVE DEPARTMENT I TOOK IN TO A SHOP TO FIND OUT IT'S MY VENT ACTUATOR THIS PART ONLY COST ABOUT 30$ BUT THE LABOR IS WHAT'S COST THE MOST I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE GLOVE DEPARTMENT TO GET TO THE PART WHERE DOES THIS COME FROM AND WHY HAVEN'T THIS BEEN ON RECALL YET I'VE GOOGLED THIS SITUATION AND FOUND OUT THAT IT'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2011 IN DODGE CARS AND TRUCKS AND VANS SO I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM

HEADREST POPPED OPEN ON PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND DEPLOYED. NO ONE IN PASSENGER SEAT.

THE HEAT DOES NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS RARELY BEEN TESTED AS THE CAR DOES NOT GET USED IN THE WINTER MUCH.

Mileage: 54,000

THE HEATER ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR OR THE DRIVER SIDE, THE MIDDLE AND PASSANGER SIDE VENTS BLOW COLD AIR, EVEN WHEN THE DEFROST IS ON HEAT

I'VE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO HAVE IT FIX FROM THE RECALL ISSUES STATED ON THE ANNOUNCEMENT.

ON SEPTEMBER 26 2016, THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADREST EXPLODED AND CAME LOSE (FOR NO APPARENT REASON). EXPERIENCING HEADACHE DUE TO THE BUMP ON MY HEAD. DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING ONLY THREE YEARS OLD, AND WITH JUST 56000 MILES, THE RADIATOR AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN REPLACED! 2013 DODGE AVENGER IS NOT A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE AND NEEDS TO BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED FOR QUALITY AND SAFETY. THE HEADREST EXPLOSION HAPPENED WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF AND WAS ABOUT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE INSIDE MY GARAGE.

Mileage: 56,000

THE TRANSMISSION IS THE PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CAR STARTED MAKING NOISES AND STOPPED ON A HILL. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL BACKWARD, AND TURN INTO A PARK ENTRANCE BEFORE THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TURNED OFF THE CAR STARTED IT AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT WOULDN'T MOVE WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND TO DATE IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN LOOKED AT.

Mileage: 57,600

RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND AFTER A WEEK AND A HALF, NOTICED THAT MY CAR IS NOT GEARING CORRECTLY ON ITS OWN AND AT TIMES DECELERATES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. ALSO WHEN SHIFTING VEHICLE FROM PARK, REVERSE, DRIVE, ETC... IT MAKES A JUMP WITH A LOUD NOISE.

Mileage: 54,000

WHEN STARTING CAR, ALL LIGHTS AND POWER FEATURES WORK BUT CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. ITS BEEN A PROBLEM THAT COMES AND GOES WITH NO WARNING.

Mileage: 49,875

MY VEHICLES STALLS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ITS AN AUTOMATIC. I KEEP MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON IT. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED 3 DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. WHEN I STOP MY CAR ALMOST ACTS AS THOUGH IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. IN ORDER TO PICK SPEED BACK UP I MIDST FLOOR IT TO EVEN GET MOVING ANYWHERE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE SEEING AS THOUGH I HAVE A 2 YR OLD. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. I'M INSURING A CAR THAT HAS HAD RECALLS FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUES AND NOW DODGE TELLS ME THEY'D HAVE TO CHARGE ME $115 FOR A DIAGNOSTICS TEST.

Mileage: 39,000

WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, I DID HIT THE BREAKS, I FELT A JOLT HOWEVER THE CAR NEVER STOPPED. THE CAR DID SKID ACROSS A HIGHWAY, AND LAND IN A DITCH. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE, HOWEVER NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. BOTHE ME AND MY MINOR CHILD WERE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE BY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS. WE DID BOTH SUSTAIN INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS TOWED.
