I OWN A 2011 DODGE AVENGER...WHICH HAS NO HEAT. IT STARTED WITH COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW THERE IS NO HEAT AT ALL, AND LIVING WHERE ITS 20 BELOW, IT ISN'T FUN DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING. I HAVE REPLACED THE TEMP SENSORS, CONTROL KNOBS, ACTUATOR, HAVE FLUSHED THE RADIATOR 3X HAVE FLUSHED THE HEATER CORE 3X. EACH FLUSHING PRODUCED SAND. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD OF HAD TO PAY FOR THIS AS IT IS THE FAULT OF DODGE!! I HAVE NEVER OWNED ANYTHING BUT A DODGE BUT THIS ISSUE IS MAKING THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT DODGE. U WOULD THINK THAT DODGE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THERE CUSTOMERS....I THINK DODGE SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS. IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE I'M CHANGING I BELIEVE. SAD SAD SAD!!!

CAR HAS BEEN RANDOMLY STALLING FOR NO REASON. AFTER SITTING A FEW MINUTES THE CAR WILL RESTART AND DRIVE OK UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THE HORN RANDOMLY WORKS AND SOMETIMES GOES OFF BY ITSELF. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM CAUSING THE HORN ISSUE BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY IT IS STALLING. POSSIBLY COULD BE THE TIPM AS WELL.

I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER CONTROL MODULE (PCM) ONCE JUST A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE IT AGAIN AND MY CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF COMMISSION AND SITTING AT A MECHANIC'S REPAIR SHOP FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS NOW AFTER FIXING OTHER THINGS FIRST BEFORE FINALLY DETERMINING IT WAS THE PCM AGAIN. CAR WILL NOT REV ABOVE 2.0 RPM AND IS IN "LIMP MODE" WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH THE LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL PRESENT ON THE DASHBOARD.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
HEATER ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR ON DRIVERS SIDE VENT. MIDDLE TWO VENTS ARE COOL AIR AND PASSENGER VENT IS VERY COLD AIR. IT IS CAUSING THE SAME EFFECT ON MY WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS CAUSING SERIOUS VISIBILITY ISSUES ACROSS HALF OF MY WINDSHIELD DUE TO NOTHING DEFROSTING THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS DOES NOT CHANGE EVEN AFTER MY CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR 45 MINUTES AND MORE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE SEEING AS I CANNOT SEE TO DRIVE SAFELY FOR MYSELF AND ANY PASSING BY VEHICLES. WE ALSO HAVE CHILDREN AND THE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN IN THE SINGLE DIGITS THIS PAST WEEK, IVE HAD TO PACK BLANKETS ON TOP OF THEM IN THE CAR (SINCE THEY CANNOT WEAR THICK COATS WHILE IN A CARSEAT) JUST TO ATTEMPT TO KEEP THEM WARM AND EVEN THEN THEY ARE COMPLAINING THAT THEY ARE COLD. FOR A VEHICLE THAT I STILL MAKE PAYMENTS ON, I EXPECTED TO ATLEAST STAY WARM AND BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE IM DRIVING DURING COLD TEMPERATURES. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP.

THE PASSENAGER HEAD RESTRAINT SYSTEM IS THROWING AN ERROR THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT. THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND CHRYSLER'S STAR TEAM (ENGINEERS) CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR FIVE WEEKS. IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL. BEGINNING LAST WINTER THE HEAT WAS ONLY COMING OUT ON DRIVER SIDE.THIS WINTER IT WAS NOTABLY WORSE. MY MECHANIC CHECKED AND TRIED FROM ACTUATOR AND ELECTRICAL BUT SAID HOW THE HEATER CORE IS SITUATED THAT WAS THE CAUSE FOR HEAT LOSS . HE FLUSHED AND CLEANED AS BEST HE COULD AND SAID IT NEEDED A NEW HEATER CORE . IT IS VERY HARD TO KEEP WINDSHIELD DEFROSTED LET ALINE BE WARM . HE RECOMMENDED CONTACTING DODGE.AT FAST SPEEDS THE HEAT IS VERY SPARSE AND IF CAR IS WARMED UP IT IS HARDLY ANY BETTER. I CAN SEND A COPY OF MECHANIC'S BILL IF REQUESTED

PASSENGER SIDE AIR VENTS DO NOT BLOW HEAT WHILE DRIVER SIDE VENTS WILL BLOW HEAT. ALSO, WHILE THE HEAT MET IS ON AND DRIVING COMBINING TO A STOP THE HEATER MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND BUBBLING SOUND. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE TO FIX. THIS NEEDS TO GO ON REVIEW FOR A RECALL
