PASSENGER SIDE AIR CONDITIONING WILL NOT BLOW HOT AIR. DRIVER SIDE WORKS PERFECTLY FINE. I'VE READ EVERYWHERE THAT IT'S A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WITH THE HEATER CORE ETC. THIS WILL BE MY LAST CHRYSLER PRODUCT IF NOT RECALLED AND FIXED FOR FREE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY DODGE AVENGER HAS STARTED TO CUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR WHILE SITTING IN A LINE WAITING ON FOOD. I ALSO EXPERIENCE THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE NOT HEATING AT ALL. THERE IS ALSO A CLICKING NOISE IN MY CAR THAT HAS WORSENED OVER TIME. THERE ARE A LOT OFF ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND TO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. I AM SO AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO CUT OFF. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE SHOP BUT STILL EXPERIENCE THESE ISSUES. IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE CONTACT ME BECAUSE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT OUR UNSAFE VEHICLES.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE VEHICLE BLOWS HOT AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, BUT COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. SINCE IT IS BLOWING ONLY COLD AIR ON ONE HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD THE WINDOWS ICE UP, FREEZE UP AND FOG UP. THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD, SINCE THIS IMPAIRS VISIBILTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,272.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CATALYTIC CONVERTER SHOWS AS AN ERROR MESSAGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WILL NEED LIKELY REPLACEMENT. THE HEATER DOES NOT WORK ON THE CAR, LIKELY DUE TO THE HEATER CORE. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR AND IT HAD A RECENTLY REPLACED O2 SENSOR THAT WAS UNPLUGGED AS ITS INITIAL REASON FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THERE MAY BE OTHER CARS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS, AND I WANTED TO REPORT IT BECAUSE THESE ARE COSTLY REPAIRS.

ENGINE, SEATS
I HAVE HAD MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. THE HEAT DOES NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC I PURCHASED FROM THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH ALL THESE CARS AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. ALSO IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS MY CAR HAS WENT DEAD WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT CRANK FOR AT LEAST 3 TO 4 HOURS. I WAS JUST ON THIS INTERSTATE FRIDAY NIGHT GOING 60 AND MY CAR WENT DEAD AND HAD TO COAST OF THE INTERSTATE IN A REALLY BAD PART OF TOWN. I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH BOTH OF THESE AND CANNOT BELIEVE THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS. THANKS DODGE.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER PUTS OUT COLD AIR EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WARMED UP AND DRIVEN FOR A WHILE. THIS OFTEN MAKES MY CAR DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT DEFROST OR DEFOG IN A TIMELY MANNER OR AT ALL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, BUT THE CAR'S FUEL TANK WILL BLOW GAS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE FILLING THE CAR SLOW OR FAST. IT DOES THIS AT ALL GAS STATIONS SO IT IS NOT THE GAS STATION'S FUEL PUMPS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SOMETIMES WHEN ITS RAINING OR SNOWING WHEN MY CAR IS ON AT LEAST ONCE DURING MY TRIP MY CAR WILL TURN OFF EITHER WHEN I'M AT A STOP LIGHT/SIGN OR WHEN I BRAKE TO MAKE A TURN. I CAN SOMETIMES TELL WHEN ITS GOING TO TURN OFF BECAUSE THE CAR SPUTTERS (I DONT KNOW HOW ELSE TO DESCRIBE IT). EX YESTERDAY ON MY WAY TO WORK IT TURNED OFF AS I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT SO I TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON MORE MORE ISSUES ON MY 10 MILE TRIP. ON MY WAY BACK HOME (CAR SAT IN THE RAIN ALL DAY) MY CAR TURNED OFF AS I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT OF MY JOB. WHEN I SAY MY CAR TURNED OFF I MEAN IT LOSES ALL POWER SO THAT WHEN I PRESS MY GAS CAR DOESNT GO ANYWHERE I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON TO CONTINUE MY TRIP

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!
