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).

NO HEAT WHATSOEVER. CHANGED TWO BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS THAT COST ME OVER 100 DOLLARS. STILL NO HEAT. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER DODGE AVENGER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM AND DODGE REFUSES TO CREATE A RECALL FOR IT. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO DODGE AND THEY CONTINUE TO DENY IT IS A PROBLEM ON THEIR SIDE WHEN IT CLEARLY IS. IT WOULD COST ME >1000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE A HEATER CORE OR ANYTHING HEAT RELATED UNDER THE HOOD.

WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH MY PREGNANT WIFE AT NIGHT, CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STALLED. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, CAR WAS PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED. GO OUT AND INSPECTED CAR EVEN LOOKING UNDER HOOD. NOTHING LOOKED OUT OF PLACE SO RESTARTED CAR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT CAR MADE NO UNUSUAL NOISES AND DROVE THE LAST MILE HOME WITH EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON. CAR STALLED ONCE AGAIN ONE BLOCK FROM OUR HOME BUT AGAIN RESTARTED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING BUSINESS DAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WHERE I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. TOTAL COST INCLUDING LABOR TO REPLACE SENSOR WAS $224. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THANKFULLY MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. I CALLED DODGE TO INFORM THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY DOCUMENTED BUT DIDN'T SEEM VERY CONCERNED WITH ISSUE. AGAIN, STALLING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY CAN RESULT IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT

ON JANUARY 3, 2015, COMPLAINANT WAS DRIVING A FRIEND TO WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 9 A.M. WHEN COMPLAINANT LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF HIS 2012 DODGE AVENGER DUE TO ICE COVERING THE ENTIRETY OF THE STREETS CAUSING COMPLAINANT TO SLIDE TWO (2) BLOCKS TOWARDS AN OVERHANGING CLIFF WHERE PLAINTIFF HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A HUGE TREE TOTALING HIS 2012 DODGE AVENGER. AT THE INSTANT OF COLLISION, THERE WAS A STRANGE AND PUNGENT ODOR THAT PERMEATED THE INTERIOR OF THE AUTOMOBILE WHEN BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS CAME OUT BUT FAILED TO INFLATE AND TO OFFER ANY SUPPORT. THE AIRBAGS ONLY STAYED LAYING FLAT ON THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD. AT THE INSTANT OF COLLISION, COMPLAINANT STRUCK HIS FOREHEAD AGAINST THE STEERING COLUMN CAUSING COMPLAINT SEVERE NECK TRAUMA, SEVERE SPINAL TRAUMA, SEVERE BACK TRAUMA AND SEVERE HIP TRAUMA... COMPLAINANT WAS WEARING HIS SEAT BELT AT THE TIME AND SO WAS THE PASSENGER. AT THE TIME OF COLLISION THE PASSENGER STRUCK HER ENTIRE FACE AGAINST THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD WHERE THE MALFUNCTIONING AIRBAG.... AT NO TIME DID THE AIRBAGS INFLATE AND THERE WAS SO SORT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BEFORE THE AIRBAGS CAME OUT THAT GAVE OFF A VERY DISTURBING ODOR... THE WRECKED CAR IS PRESENTLY AT THE PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE AUTO AUCTION AND THE TELEPHONE NUMBER THERE IS 724 443 7881... I AM REQUESTING THAT AN INVESTIGATION BE DONE TO DETERMINE THAT BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE AND OFFER PROTECTION... BOTH AIRBAGS APPEARED TO BE DAMAGED... ALSO THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT PRODUCT IN EARLY 2014 AND COMPLAINANT BELIEVES THAT WHATEVER DODGE OF MONROEVILLE DID DURING THIS RECALL WAS NOT APPROPRIATE AND WAS IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL SAFETY AND WARRANTY LAWS.... *TR

My TIPM is failing. Due to this, my vehicle stalls randomly with no repair codes being shown after stalling. Everything from the battery to the catalytic converter has been replaced to no avail. I even almost was killed on the freeway coming home from work one morning because the vehicle stalled after running fine for a couple of weeks. This has been going on for almost a year and I have replaced so many things on this car I basically should have just cut my losses and purchased a new one.

It seems to be a common issue that I'm experiencing as well. When I turn the heat on it only blows hot on the driver side. So depending on the weather conditions, it may completely fog up the passenger side of my window. Making it dangerous for driving when you're trying to defrost a window with cold air.

The seats move around as if they are not bolted down properly. Any speed if you hit a small bump or so much as move other then straight it’s extremely noticeable. I don’t think it is safe and my kids are in this car daily and I was hoping a recall would have already been called on this because I know I’m mot the only one with this issue with both front seats moving around as if it’s a carnival ride. And the cruise control stopped working in 2016. Also has always made a weird sound under the hood and come to find out I have had a bad transmission the whole time I have owned this car, also a common issue I have heard from MANY People. Also these cars have several different censor problems that keep having to be replaced as well as energy draining batteries more than they should. The hoses and injectors also have been a major problem. I thought I just got unlucky with my car but everyone I know has soooo many problems with these cars it’s actually crazy they didn’t stop making them sooner. I’m the only driver and owner of this car and drive like a grandma I have been told so I do know it’s not how I have been with the car, also regular oil changes and maintenance as needed on top of thousands to keep her running as I bought it brand new and refuse to let it die on me after it’s paid off.

MY CAR KEEPS BLOWING ROAD DUST OUT OF ALL THE VENTS WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN A GRAVEL ROAD DOESN'T MATTER THE SPEED AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE HEATER AND A/C ARE ON OR OFF. WHEN I TURN ON MY HEATER/A/C IT RUNS THROUGH THE DEFROST, FACE VENTS, AND FLOORS VENTS, BEFORE IT WILL FINALLY SETTLE ON THE AREA I HAVE IT SET AT. DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S A PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO A RECALL. THEY KNOW IT STEMS FROM THE HEATER CORE NOT BEING PROPERLY CLEANED BEFORE INSTALLING IT IN THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2012 DODGE AVENGER WITH APPROXIMATELY 76200 MILES ON IT. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT MY TRANSMISSION MADE A CLUNKING SOUND AND MY VEHICLE WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR BUT THE RPMS BUT JUMP UP TO ABOUT 7000 AND STAY THERE. I WAS ON A FOUR LANE ROADWAY GOING THROUGH A CITY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. ENDED UP MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH 76,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. TRANSMISSION ISSUES SEEM TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE AVENGERS. AND OF COURSE WHEN I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER CARE THEY STATED THEY CAN DO NOTHING FOR ME ON ANY KIND OF REIMBURSEMENT. TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 76000 MILES! VERY DISAPPOINTED IN DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM.
