MY AVENGER BLOWS HEAT OUT ON DRIVER SIDE AND COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BLEND AIR DOOR ACTUATOR BUT I HAVE CHANGED IT. NOW MY CAR HEATS UP AND STILL BLOWS COLD AIR UNTIL I START MOVING AND THEN IT STILL TAKES A LITTLE WHILE TO BLOW OUT HEAT.. I'VE SEEN THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR AVENGER.
THE AIR BAGS EXPLODED, WITH A BUMP ON THE ROAD.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR HONKS AT ALL TIMES, DRIVING, PARKED, AT NIGHT, IN THE DAY. IT MAKES THE SOUND OF ME HOLDING THE HORN DOWN NON STOP ALSO AS IF I WAS PRESSING IT ON AND OFF. WHEN PARKED IT ALSO MAKES THE SOUND OF THE ALARM BEING SET, ALSO THE SOUND OF THE ALARM GOING OFF AS IF SOMEONE TRIED TO BREAK INTO THE CAR. BUT WHAT IS MOSTLY BOTHERING ME IS THE HONKING WHILE DRIVING, I ALMOST CAUSED 2 OTHER VEHICLES TO CRASH N RUN RED LIGHTS DUE TO MY CAR REPEATEDLY HONKING AT THEM AT THE RED LIGHT, I BEEN CURSED OUT AND ONE TIME A FEMALE WAS TRYING TO FIGHT ME IN FRONT OF MY CHILDREN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO GMC BUICK (WHICH IS WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR) AND BUICK MECHANIC CAME BACK SAYING THE COMPUTER DID NOT SEE A PROBLEM. THIS IS SOMETHING VERY SERIOUS SPECIALLY WITH ALL THE ROAD RANGE GOING ON RIGHT NOW. ALSO MY HAZARD LIGHTS CONSTANTLY COME ON ON ITS OWN WITHOUT TURNING OFF AFTER HOURS LATER. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS AND I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY 3 TIMES DUE TO THE CAR GIVING ME PROBLEMS TO TURN ON.
ON OR ABOUT 09/07/17, MY SON WAS DRIVING MY 2010 DODGE AVENGER. THERE IS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE, THE GAUGES AND SPEEDOMETER AND WARNING LIGHTS WHEN CRAZY OR STOPPED WORKING. NOTHING WORKED LIKE IT SHOULD. THEN AT A STOP THE VEHICLE DIED AND WOULDN'T RESTART. GOT THE CAR JUMP STARTED AND WAS BROUGHT HOME. UPON INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM BY MY OTHER SON A MECHANIC, THERE SEEMED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, OR PCM. ONCE THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED EVERYTHING APPEARED FINE FOR ABOUT A 30 MINUTE DRIVE, THEN SAME ISSUE. VEHICLE THEN WAS TAKEN TO A DODGE DEALER WHO AFTER A WEEK COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, NOT THE ISSUE. FINAL RESULT IS THE PCM IS FAULTY. OK, JUST ONE PROBLEM. WHEN TRYING TO GET ONE FROM THE DEALER ON WEST COAST, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PCM'S ARE ON BACK ORDER. IN FACT OVER 365 ARE ON B/O. CONTACTED 3 OTHER CHRYSLER SUPPLIERS/WAREHOUSES AROUND THE NATION, AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WERE OVER 700 NATION WIDE ON B/O AND NONE ARE TO BE HAD. CONTACTED AUTO PART STORES, (ORIELLY, AUTO ZONE, NAPA, ETC) AND WAS MET WITH THE SAME RESULTS. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A NATION WIDE PROBLEM AND SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE JUST STOPPING/RUNNING AND NO READILY AVAILABLE FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MADE MY COMPLAINT TO THEM. THE DODGE REP AGREED THAT THIS WOULD APPEAR TO BE A MAJOR WARRANTY ISSUE, DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF BACK ORDERS AND AVAILABILITY. HE GAVE ME A CAMPAIGN # 32502195 AS HE

WE HAVE NEVER HAD A FLAT TIRE UNTIL WE BOUGHT THIS CAR, THE MONITORING VALVE STEMS HAVE TO BE DEFECTIVE. WE HAVE HAD THREE BLOWOUTS ALL ON THE HIGHWAY WITHIN THE PAST THREE YEARS DUE TO THESE STEMS. IS THERE A RECALL? IF NOT THERE SHOULD BE. WE WOULD GET RID OF THEM BUT THEY TELL US THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WILL STAY ON. THERE IS NO WARNING, THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON AND WE CHECK OUR TIRE PRESSURE. I SEE DODGE HAS HAD RECALLS ON THESE STEMS BUT NOT FOR THE AVENGER. EACH TIME WE LOSE THE TIRE TOO, BY THE TIME WE CAN PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. IT COSTS US $120 DOLLARS EACH TIME FOR THE TIRE NEW MONITORING VALVE STEM, HAVING IT PROGRAMMED AND A TIRE, ALREADY $360.00 AND THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING KILLED CHANGING THE TIRE EACH TIME. CAN YOU HELP US? WE HAVE ONE ORIGINAL ONE LEFT AND WE KNOW IT IS GOING TO GO? THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM MILFORD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DEALER, MILFORD PA 18337, PHONE NUMBER [XXX].

ON 10/1/2016 A RECALL FOR CALLED FOR MY 2010 DODGE AVENGER SXT. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 16V-668. THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS. I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE, AND TOLD THEM THAT THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT MUST BE REPLAYED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE CURRENTLY ARENT ANY PARTS AVAILABLE, AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. THAT POSES A HUGE SAFETY RISK BECAUSE IN EVENT OF A CRASH AIRBAGS ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP SAVE LIVES. WITH THESE ISSUES GOING ON AND IF I WERE IN A WRECK MY LIFE IS AT STEAK. I ASKED HER ABOUT LOANER CARS, OR IF ANYTHING ELSE COULD BE DONE TO INCREASE SAFETY. THE ONLY THING SHE SAID THAT CAN BE DONE IS JUST WAIT IT OUT. WITH MY SAFETY BEING AT RISK EVERY TIME I DRIVE, I COULD BE KILLED BEFORE PARTS EVEN COME IN. I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL JUST WAITING IT OUT, AND PUTTING MY LIFE IN THE HANDS OF DODGE. I FEEL LIKE IF THEY CANT CURRENTLY REPLACE THE PARTS, THEY EITHER NEED TO REPLACE THE CAR OR LOAN ONE THAT WORKS EFFICIENTLY. ALSO BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BREAKS ON 2010. IT STATED THAT THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH AN IMPROPERLY FORMED OR MISSING BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS COULD RESULT IN BRAKE FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH. CHECKING THE CAR-FAX THAT I WAS GIVEN THIS WAS NOT REPLACED OR LOOKED AT, AND NOW I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES. SO NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE AI

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
