THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF. A FEW TIMES I WOULD UNDO MY SEATBELT AND THEN SECURE IT AGAIN AND IT WOULD GO OFF. BUT IT COMES BACK ON AGAIN. BRAKES: I HAVE HAD ALL 4 BRAKES REPLACED AND MY BRAKES STILL SQUEAK AND THEY GRIND. IVE HAD THIS DONE TWICE AND IT DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IT MAKES A RATTLING SOUND WHEN GOING UPHILL. AND SQUEEKS AND GRINDS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR ONE DAY JUST STARTED BLOWING COLD AIR WHEN MY HEATER IS ON. I TALKED TO THE DEALER SHIP AND SAID IT WAS A ACTUATOR THAT HAD GONE OUT. I MENTIONED TO THEM ABOUT SEEING ONLINE THAT A SOME OTHER AVENGER OWNERS WHERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT IT WAS CAUSED BUT SAND AND METAL FLAKES LEFT OVER FROM CASTING FILLING UP THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR. AFTER MY SECOND TRIP BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT THEY TOLD ME THAT MY HEATER CORE WAS BURNT UP AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I TOOK IT TO A RADIATOR SHOP AND ASKED FOR A SECOND OPINION AND WAS TOLD THAT AFTER LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM AND LOOKING AT THE HEATER CORE THAT IT WAS NOT BURNT UP AND THO IT COULD USE A GOOD FLUSHING WAS NOT THE ISSUE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR HAS LOST ALL HEAT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM LIVING IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN WHERE WE HAVE WINTER FOR 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. I RECENTLY FIXED THE DOOR ACTUATOR BECAUSE OF THE CLICKING AND THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE HEAT PROBLEM AS WELL SINCE THEY SEEMED TO START AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME. THIS DID NOT FIX THE HEAT ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH NO ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM. MANY HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RETURN AFTER A SHORT TIME. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN AVENGER ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY CHRYSLER. AS THE DRIVER, I AM WARM, WHILE MY CHILDREN ARE FREEZING.

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER FOR A RECALL HOWEVER MY VIN DID NOT COME UP. I'M NOT SURE WHY WHEN THE RECALL INCLUDED MY YEAR MAKE. BRAKE LIGHT REVERSE AND SIGNALS ARE NOT WORKING . I HAVE 2 CHILDREN UNDER 10 YEARS OLD I TAKE TO SCHOOL AND AFTER SCHOOL FUNCTIONS. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. THE ISSUES WITH THE 2008 DODGE AVENGER ARE PART OF THE NATIONAL RECALL. WHEN DRIVING CREATES DANGEROUS CONDITIONS DUE TO NO FUNCTIONING SIGNALS OR WARNINGS. THE DEALER DID STATE IT WAS THE WHOLE BOX TIMP. THIS IS WHAT WAS RECALLED.

ENGINE, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT IN MY 2013 DODGER AVENGER, AFTER HAVING THE PUMP REPLACED, THE PROBLEM WAS STILL NOT FIXED. THEN THE HEAT STOPS WORKING, COST O FIX THAT (SUPPOSEDLY THE HEATER CORE) AND THE POWER STEERING (RACK AND PINION ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL DODGER DEALERSHIP) IS APPROX $2000. A QUICK SEARCH IN THE INTER SHOWS THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS IN THIS YEAR AVENGER. IT IS THE WAY THE ENGINE WAS PRODUCED THAT YEAR. WHEN IS THERE GOING TO BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THESE ENGINES THAT LOSE POWER STEERING, LIKE MINE DID, LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER BOUGHT THIS CAR.

I WAS ON A HILL ABOUT TO TURN ONTO THE FREEWAY WHEN MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF/STALLED. I WAS MOVING ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR AND WHEN I WENT TO TURN RIGHT I FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, AT WHICH POINT I REALIZED MY VEHICLE HAD STALLED. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE WITHIN THE LAST YEAR.
