ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING AT HWY. SPEED VEHICLE SURGED BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS, ETC. NEXT TIME STARTED, WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON INDICATING A P2173 CODE.CAR WAS JUST AT DODGE DEALER FOR RECALLS. CAR WILL IDLE FINE FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN START SURGING, IDLING ROUGH WITH NO POWER AND SET WARNING LIGHTS, MIL, ETC, ESC. THESE WILL GO OFF WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF EXCEPT FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WE HAVE REPLACED THROTTLE BODY WITH NO CHANGE. CLEARED CODE AND CAME BACK AND DID THE SAME. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT DODGE HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. IT IS NOT SAFE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT DOES NOT WORK. THIS JUST STOPPED ONE DAY AROUND 110,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP LET ME KNOW THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT WITH THE HEATER CORE. THE ENTIRE COOLANT SYSTEM IS BEING ADVISED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS ALSO A GOD AWFUL TICKING NOISE COMING FROM BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX WHEN THE HEAT IS TURNED ON. DODGE, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH READING ALL THESE REVIEWS ON THE EXACT SAME ISSUES, THAT YOU ALL ARE NOT STEPPING UP AS A COMPANY AND CORRECTING THIS ISSUE. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE? SOMEONE WRECKING A DYING DUE TO THE UNSAFE CONDITIONS THAT YOU ALL KNOWINGLY PUT US INTO? I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER DODGE AFTER THIS CAR. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND A DODGE TO ANYONE EITHER.

I OWN A 2014 DODGE AVENGER IN WHICH ONLY COLD AIR COMES OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME WHAT I HAD EXPECTED ALL ALONG, A CLOGGED HEATER CORE. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS AND FOUND OUT DODGE IS AND WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. CLOGGED HEATER CORE BECAUSE OF FAULTY FLUSHING OF THE WATER JACKETS ON THE V6 ENGINE. I AM VERY LIMITED ON DRIVING MY CAR IN THE WINTER BECAUSE MY WINDSHIELD WILL NOT DEFROST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH IS A HAZARD. THIS FAULT IS NOT BECAUSE OF MISUSE OF THE VEHICLE BUT A MANUFACTURING FAULT OF DODGE. GUESS WHAT, THEY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND NOT BY THE CONSUMER. IF DODGE KNEW OF THIS DEFECT AND THE CONSUMER WASN'T NOTIFIED ISN'T IT FRAUD. I NEED HELP..

THE HEATER ONLY SOMEWHAT WORKS. THE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS LUKE WARM AIR IF LUCKY AND PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS ICE COLD. THIS CAUSES DANGEROUS DRIVING DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY INSIDE CAR. HAVE REPLACED THERMOSTAT 3 TIMES AND HAD SYSTEM FLUSHED AS ADVISED. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH BOTH AC/HEAT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. ANTIFREEZE ALSO LEAKS FROM FRONT OF CAR AND INTO DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD

POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT THE V6 DODGE AVENGER BECAUSE STICKER ON CAR SHOWED COST OF OWNERSHIP COSTS, THIS WAS HIGHLY INACCURATE. I FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION THEN 3 MONTHS LATER IM LEFT ON THE SHOULDER IF THE ROAD. I KNOW IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION PUMP ON MY 62TE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED AND I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS 75000 MILES HOW COULD THIS BE. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO BUDGE ON PRICE AND REPLACED TRANSMISSION. I HAD THE CAR FOR 12 HOURS THEN IT BLEW AGAIN, I THINK SOMEBODY HAS TO WATCH OUT I JUST SAW THE RACALL AFFECTED FOR 2016 AND UP TRANS BUT THE OLD ONES R THE SAME CHEAP TRANSMISSIONS TO SAVE EM A BUCK AND MAKE SURE WARRANTIES ALWAYS EXPORE BEFORE THE SHT BREAKS

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.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE SUBFRAME / ENGINE CRADLE OF MY 20008 DODGE AVENGER IS TOTALLY RUSTED OUT WITH BIG HOLES IN IT. IT'S SO BRITTLE YOU CAN EASILY PUT A SCREW DRIVER THROUGH WHAT'S LEFT. THIS WAS DISCOVERED BY BELLE TIRE WHEN I WAS GETTING MY TIRES ROTATED. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER SINCE IT WAS NEW. THIS CAR WAS BROUGHT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION EVERY 3,000 MILES SINCE NEW AT GOLLING CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI. THE CAR WAS ALSO PURCHASED FROM THIS SAME DEALERSHIP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I NEED SOME ANSWERS TO THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY 2010 DODGE AVENGER. THESE ISSUES ARE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROADWAY, HIGHWAY VEHICLE JUST CUTS OF WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS WITH CARS GOING AT LEAST 45MPH FOLLOWING. VEHICLE HAS ALSO NOT STARTED ON OVER 15 OCCASIONS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO INTERN HAS MADE REPAIRS STATING THAT THE ISSUE WAS FIX, BUT WHEN I GET VEHICLE HOME AFTER AN ENORMOUS REPAIR BILL IT WON'T START AGAIN. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHY VEHICLE IS ABRUPTLY GOING DEAD WHILE DRIVING.THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. LAST OCCURENCE WAS IN OCTOBER 2019. VEHICLE IS STILL A REPAIR SHOP.

THE HEATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STOPPED BLOWING WARM AIR WHEN THE CAR IS EITHER IDLING OR ON THE FREEWAY. EVEN WITH PUTTING IT FULL BLAST THERE'S NOT HEAT COMING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE, JUST THE DRIVERS SIDE.
