HEATER CORE PER DODGE DEALERSHIP IS STOPPED UP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE HEAT WOULDN'T GET UP TO A SATISFACTORY TEMPERATURE, THEY TESTED IT & SAID THEY COULD TRY FLUSHING BUT THEY THOUGHT IT NEEDED REPLACING.

MY CAR IS BLOWING COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I JUST HAD THE HEATER CORE AND THE ACTUATOR DOOR REPLACED BACK IN THE SUMMER AND IT COST US OVER 2000.00. THIS ISSUE STARTED BACK IN FEBRUARY AND WE WAITED UNTIL SUMMER TO FIX IT BUT NOW A FEW WEEKS INTO THE COLD WEATHER AND HERE WE GO AGAIN. THE HEAT WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BLOWING COLD AIR AGAIN . I CALLED DODGE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT BUT THERE WAS NO RECALLS SO THEY STATED THAT I HAD TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED AGAIN. THE PLACE THAT FIXED IT STATED THAT THE HEATER CORE HAS LIKE A FILM THAT BREAKS OFF AND THE PARTICLES BLOCK THE HEAT. THERE IS SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES BUT MANY CALLS TO DODGE AND THEY WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. CAN YOU HELP, I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS AGAIN! AND I HAVE A 30 MILE COMMUTE TO WORK, NOW I AM SICK FROM BEING SO COLD DAILY.

SEATS
THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADREST SPLIT INTO 2 PIECES FOR NO REASON. MANUFACTURES SPECS STATES THAT IN A REAR COLLISION THE HEADREST DEPLOYS TO ENSURE THE DRIVER DOESN'T GET WHIP LASH. THIS VEHICLE HAS NO ACCIDENTS AT ALL AND WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN AT THE TIME THE HEADREST SEPARATED. I DID RESEARCH AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HEADREST IN THIS DODGE VEHICLE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT MAY SEEM ITS NOT COVERED EVEN WITH THE 7 YR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY.

HEATER AND DEFROST DO NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, LEAVING HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP. THIS CAUSES BAD VISIBILITY ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE (DODGE AVENGER)

SINCE 2016, MY CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IS NOW STARTING TO LOSE HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE HAD GREAT UP-KEEP ON MY CAR AND GET IT FIXED ON A REGULAR BASES. DURING THE WINTER MY CAR IS FREEZING COLD. IT IS ONLY LETTING HEAT OUT ON THE FAR LEFT DRIVER SIDE VENT AND THIS IS STARTING TO BLOW COLD AIR TOO. IT TAKES FOREVER TO WARM THE INSIDE OF MY CAR OR NEVER WARMS UP AT ALL. I'M UNSURE WHAT THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM IS THAT I SEE IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR. BEING IN THE MILITARY I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GET THIS FIX. IT IS TOTALLY A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND NEED TO FIXED IMMEDIATELY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS ISSUE IS A DEFECTIVE HEATER CORE. CASTING AND METAL SHAVINGS CLOG HEATER CORE TO WHERE YOUR CAR CANNOT HEAT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF YOUR CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE CAR NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO DEFROST FRONT AND BACK WIND SHIELDS DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE PROBLEM ARISES WITH HOW TO THE HEATER SITS BEHIND THE DASH. IT CAUSES THIS ISSUE TO REPEAT EVEN IF HEATER CORE IS REPLACED. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS A $1,000 PLUS REPAIR THAT WILL REPEATEDLY OCCUR NEARLY EVERY YEAR OR SO.

WINDOW DEFROST AND PASSENGER HEAT /AIR. WHILE EITHER IN MOTION OR WHILE DRIVING, NO HEATED AIR EXITS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER, NOR THE PASSENGER WINDOW DEFROST, LOWER AND CENTER CONSOLE VENTS. HEATED AIR ONLY EXITS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER'S SIDE DASH VENTS. PROBLEM PERSISTS THROUGH ALL CABIN AIR MODES, AND CIRCULATIONS. THIS SAFETY ISSUE EFFECTS VISIBILITY AND PASSENGER SAFETY BY FAILING TO DEFROST/DEFOG WINDOWS AND KEEPING CABIN TEMPERATURES NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING DURING COLD WEATHER (BLOWING COLD AIR INTO THE CABIN).
