SEATS
WHILE MAKING A STOP THE PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT BUT NO ACCIDENT IMPACT. THE HEADREST WILL NOT RESET. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRS DUE TO THE SAFETY RECALL COMPLETED BUT THE DEALER SAYS THEY WILL NOT COVER THE DEFECTIVE HEADREST. THIS HAS REDUCED THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION IN MY SUBDIVISION TO LET SOME KIDS CROSS THE STREET. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE SLOWED DOWN LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE AND THEN SPED UP. THE CAR STARTED TO LURCH FORWARD. I PUSHED THE BRAKE DOWN THE REST OF THE WAY TO KEEP THE CAR FROM RUNNING OVER THE KIDS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE HEATER CORE HAS FAILED CAUSING ONLY MILD HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE ONLY COLD AIR WILL BLOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WITH THIS FAILURE FROM BAD CASTING SAND REMOVAL UPON MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE IT HAS CAUSED THE THERMOSTAT TO FAIL CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO RUN FAR BELOW OPERATING TEMP. SINCE THE CABIN SPACE CANNOT RECEIVE FULL HEAT IT MAKES FOR DANGEROUS OPERATING CONDITIONS IN COLD CLIMATES AS I CANNOT DEFROST THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS HAS MADE OPERATING THE VEHICLE DURING WINTER DANGEROUS AS I CANNOT SEE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PROVIDE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT NO MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT. WHILE IN MOTION THE VEHICLE WILL NEVER GET TO OPERATING TEMP NOR WILL THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROST.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
IT STARTED ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO, MY HEAT IN MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER STARTED TO NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD IT FLUSHED 4 TIMES AND THAT NEVER HELPED. I HAVE HAD THE BLENDOR ACTUARTOR REPLACED TWICE AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO REPLACEDBOTH THERMOSTATS REPLACED TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A MYSTERY TO THE THREE MECANICS/DEALERSHIPS THAT I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO FOR REPAIR ON WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I HAVE LOOKED UP MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AND EVERYTHING SHOWS THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT/ISSUE WHICH IS THE SAND/SLUDGE IN THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR. I AM A SINGLE MOM OF 2 CHILDREN AND I DON'T NEED TO BE DRIVING IN A CAR WITH NO HEAT WHEN IT IS 0 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO THIS CAR. WITH THIS CAR ONLY BEING 6 YEARS OLD, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES. THIS IS NOT A CUSTOMER DEFECT THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I NEED DODGE/CHRYSLER TO RESPOND AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE AS LIKE I SAID BEFORE HAVE PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE (100'S AND 1,000'S OF DOLLARS) I BOUGHT MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER BRAND NEW, IT ONLY HAD 4 MILES ON IT WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, IT WASN'T EVEN PAID OFF WHEN I STARTED HAVING THE ISSUES.

I HAVE NOW LOST THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR 3 TIMES. FIRST TIME THEY DID JUST A FLUSH, NEXT TIME REPLACED THE HEATER CORE, AND NOW IT'S GONE AGAIN. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HAPPENS DURING THE WINTER! IT'S A COMPLETE VISIBILITY CONCERN! NOT TO MENTION A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT SOMETHING IN THE MANUFACTORING IS CAUSING.

"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 TEMPURATURES NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING DURING COLD WEATHER (BLOWING COLD AIR INTO THE CABIN)." HAVE HAD NUMEROUS REPAIRS OVER LAST YEAR WITH NO RESOLUTION. KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE!

ENGINE
THE HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR IN THE PASSENGER AREA OF THE CAR AND WARM AIR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE CAR NEVER WARMS UP ENOUGH TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS IN WINTER. THE CAUSE IS SAND AND METAL SHAVINGS LEFT IN THE ENGINE BLOCK DURING MANUFACTURING OF THE ENGINE. THE SAND AND METAL SHAVINGS MAKE THEIR WAY INTO THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR BY ABOUT 50000.00 MILES OR SO. THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE HEATING ISSUE BECAUSE THE BOTTOM OF THE HEATER CORE PLUGS AND THE RADIATOR ALSO TO AN EXTENT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY DODGE FOR SURE. PLEASE HELP US FROM THE HIGH COST OF THE DEALERS 1300.00 CHARGE TO CHANGE THE HEATER CORE AND OR RADIATOR. FROM A DISCONTENT DODGE OWNER
