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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

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.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2012 AVENGER SE WITH JUST UNDER 100K MILES. THE HEAT IS NOT WORKING. BLOWING COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND BARELY HEATING UP ON THE DRIVER SIDE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON SEVERAL MESSAGE BOARDS, THIS IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER ISSUE WITH THE HEATER CORE. I HAVE FLUSHED THE SYSTEM MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT IS NOT GETTING BETTER. THIS ISSUE IS NOT DUE TO NOT MAINTAINING THE CAR. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND I HAVE CALLED DODGE AND WAS NOT GIVEN ANY ASSISTANCE. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE CARS HAVING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE.
