THE HEATER IN THE CAR NOW ONLY BLOWS OUT HOT AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. WHICH IN TURN ONLY CLEARS OFF HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD, MAKING THE VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD DIFFICULT. DURING THE CHANGES IN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE AND THE HUMIDITY LEVELS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A CLEAR VIEW OF THE ROAD. THIS CONDITION IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME, THE CAR CAN BE IN PARK IDLING OR IN MOTION. THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR CAN ONLY BLOW OUT COLD AIR AND DOES NOT CHANGE WITH THE TEMPERATURE DIAL.

I HAVE A 2008 DODGE AVENGER 2.4 CYLINDER. MY STARTER HAS BEEN REPLACING FOUR TIMES IN LESS THAN FORTY DAY TIME FRAME, YES THAT IS WHAT I SAID. THE CAR CUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE NOW PAID AROUND 1,440. SO FAR NOW. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHETHER OR NOT MY VIN NUMBER FITS THE BILL, IT HAS HAPPENED AND HAS GROSSLY ENDANGERED MY FAMILY TO INCLUDE GRANDCHILD AND MYSELF NOT TO MENTION INCREASE THE RISK OF MULTIPLE CRASH. THE FOLLOWING ARE INFORMATION I HAVE FOUND REASON FOR STALLED ENGINES OF 2008 DOGE AVENGERS . ALL WORK DONE AT DODGE SERVICE DEPT. I HAVE RECEIPTS FROM DEALERSHIP WITH MY COMPLAINTS ABOUT ENGINE STALL ISSUES. PLEASE HELP ME. SINCERE, THANKS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE: RESULTING IN AN ENGINE STALL OR ENGINE FAILURE. THE ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. CHRYSLER DEALERS SHOULD REPLACE THE TIPM MODULE, FREE OF CHARGE. FLASH THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) OR REPLACE THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE, AS NEEDED, FREE OF CHARGE. SEPTEMBER 2008 -- CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 712 MY 2009 SEBRING, DODGE CALIBER, AVENGER, JOURNEY, JEEP PATRIOT, AND COMPASS VEHICLES. A NEW ADHESIVE USED IN THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) MANUFACTURING PROCESS CAN CAUSE THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD TO BREAK. THIS CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PCM FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING NOVEMBER 2008.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WILL FLASH WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND THE CAR LOSES POWER, TO WHICH I AM FORCED TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR. NOW I AM HAVING BATTERY ISSUES WITH THE CAR AS WELL. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ONCE BEFORE AND HAVE HAD NO OFFERS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW THAT MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING THE CAR I AM FORCED TO REPORT THIS AGAIN. I FEEL IT IS ONLY RIGHT FOR DODGE TO RECALL AND FIX THIS. OTHER DODGE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE. IT MAY HAVE NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT WHY WAIT UNTIL IT DOES?????? I DONT ALWAYS HAVE A SAFE SPOT TO PULL OVER TO RESTART THE CAR. IT IS VERY SCARY. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS.

CAR STARTED STALLING WHILE DRIVING 2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. DEALER SAID USE CAR IS AS IS. BUT SINCE THEN 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS HAVE LOOK AT IT AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. LAST MECHANIC HEADED FOR A WEEK AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. FOUR MONTHS LATER STARTED TO JERK BEFORE STALLING AND THE THROTTLE LIGHT CAME ON. THREE DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE DAY AFTER IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. BACK TO THE SHOP AND SEVEN DAYS LATER BECAUSE IT WAS LOOSING FUEL PRESSURE THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACE. NOW 2 DAYS LATER IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. THIS CAR CAN'T BE REPAIR IF THEY CAN'T FIND WHAT'S WRONG. AND THAT INCLUDED A DODGE DEALER THAT HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK, CHARGE ME $75 AND COULDN'T FIND WHAT'S WRONG. THE CAR IS UNSAFE, IT STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

MY 2011 DODGE AVENGER HEAT HAS A HEATING PROBLEM. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT/DEFROST ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. I PUT THE FAN ON HIGH AND STILL ONLY COLD AIR. WHEN WARMING CAR UP WITH REMOTE START THE CAR IS NOT WARM AFTER 10 TO 15 MINUTES CAUSING THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD TO NOT DEFROST. I DRIVE 50 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK AND AM FREEZING WHEN I GET THERE. I HAVE SEEN FORUMS WHERE THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE.
