AIR BAGS, SEATS
I WAS DRIVING AND HEARD A LOUD POP. LOOKED AT MY PASSENGER SEAT AND SAW THE HEAD REST CAME OFF THE PLASTIC HOLDING IN AIRBAG. THE BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AS FAR AS I CAN SEE. I WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT POPPED. I CALLED TO SEE IF DEALERSHIP WOULD FIX BUT THEY WANT ME TO PAY SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL BUT I FEEL WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY IT SHOULD BE FIXED WITH NO CHARGE TO CUSTOMER ESPECIALLY WHEN IT WAS A MALFUNCTION ON CAR.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
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!

MY CAR IS A 2014 DOGE AVENGER THAT HAS THE OCCUPANCY RESTRAIN FAILURE CODE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THE GM PUT ONLY A CERTAIN NUMBER OF THESE CARS ON THE RECALL LIST: HOWEVER, MY CAR WAS NOT PLACED ON THE LIST. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, I AM HAVING THAT ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF THERE IS ANYTHING POSSIBLE YOU COULD DO TO GET MY RECALL SERVICE BY DODGE.

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.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE ON 10/07/2020 AROUND THE CORNER OF MY HOUSE THE HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NO ACCIDENT, NO SUDDEN STOPS THE HEADREST JUST DEPLOYED. I DID CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON IT BUT NOT RECALLS. I DID FIND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AND HAD TAKEN THERE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE ABOUT REPAIRS. EVERYONE WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS AND THEY COULD FIX IT OR REPLACE THE HEADREST, BUT IT WOULD BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE TO THE CUSTOMER. I FEEL THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN INVESTIGATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT HERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE CASE REGARDING THE SAME SITUATION. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN INVESTIGATION STARTED SO THAT IT CAN BE DETERMINED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND ISSUE A RECALL SO THAT WE CAN GET THIS FIXED WITHOUT COST. THIS IS A DANGER TO SOMEONE DRIVING AND THE FACT THAT IT HAS ALREADY DEPLOYED IF ANY OF THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ARE IN AN ACCIDENT THEY HAVE NO MEANS OF PROTECTION SINCE THE HEADREST HAS ALREADY DEPLOYED.
