2011 Dodge Avenger complaints

HEAT ONLY BLOWS HOT ON DRIVERS SIDE.

2011 DODGE AVENGER EXPRESS. DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR BUT PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD. THIS BEGAN DOING THIS ACTION IN APRIL 2018 AND WHEN I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY TRAFFIC, IT BLOWS HOT ON ONE SIDE AND THE OTHER SIDE IS COLD. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE AIR STOPS BLOWING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES THEN COMES BACK ON BY ITSELF.

FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS I ONLY GET HEAT ON MY DRIVER SIDE. PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR. I HEARD IT COULD BE RELATED TO A DEFECT DURING MANUFACTURING PROCESS DODGE WHERE METAL CASING ARE LEFT IN THE ENGINE BLOCK CAUSING THE CORE TO GET CLOGGED AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE THE PROBLEM.

THE HEATER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT BLOWS WARM AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, BUT BLOWS ICE COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR TWO YEARS AND WE HAVE NOT FOUND A RESOLUTION FOR IT YET EVEN AFTER HAVING IT LOOKED AT AND 'FIXED' MULTIPLE TIMES. I'VE HEARD THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE.

HEATER WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. I'VE HAD THERMOSTAT CHANGES, HEATER CORE, AND IT STILL WILL NOT WORK

KNOWN ISSUE THAT MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO ADDRESS. UNSAFE TO DRIVE DURING VERY COLD TEMPERATURES. THIS VEHICLE ONLY PRODUCES HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE VENT. TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATES AND TURNS HEAT TO COOL WHILE DRIVING. DOES NOT PROPERLY DEFROST. HAS TICKING ISSUES COMING FROM BEHIND THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN CHANGING AC SETTINGS.

THE HEATER IN MY CAR IS ONLY BLOWING HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BLOWING COLD AIR. BEING FROM MAINE THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE WINTER WHEN THE WEATHER IS INCLEMENT AS IT DOES NOT DEFROST PROPERLY AS IT SHOULD. I WAS QUOTED $2100 4 HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR REPLACEMENT . WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE I HAVE SEEN I WOULD THINK THAT CHRYSLER DODGE WITH TAKE RESPONSIBILITY DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS ISSUE WITHOUT CHARGING THE CONSUMER.

REPLACE HEATER COIL AND ACCUATOR STILL NO HEAT AND DEFROSTER DON'T WORK

I HAVE NO HEAT IN MY CAR DUE TO THE HEATER CORE BEING PLUGGED. THE DEALER SAID IT'S DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT .

HEATER/DEFROST DOES NOT BLOW HOT OR EVEN WARM AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR 4 YEARS AND HAVE HAD IT FLUSHED AND CHECKED. I'M TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT DODGE DOES NOT COVER IT.

THE HEAT ON MY PASSENGER SIDE WAS BLOWING OUT COLD AIR AND ALSO MAKING A NOISE REPLACED THE ACTUATOR STILL NO HEAT I'VE HEARD THIS IS A POPULAR ISSUE IS THESE VEHICLES.

HEAT FUNCTIONS PROPERLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE BUT BLOWS COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE BUT DOES NOT DEFROST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

HEATER BLOWS HOT AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS SITTING OR MOVING, NO HEAT COMES FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO BEING UNABLE TO FULLY DEFROST THE CAR!!

THE HEATER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. THE PASSENGER SIDE ALWAYS BLOWS COLD AIR. THE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS WARM

MY WIFE BROUGHT A 2011 DODGE AVENGER 2 MONTHS AGO THE AC/ HEATER SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, WHEN THE HEAT IS TURNED ON ,OR TEMPERATURE IS TURNED TO HOT THE DRIVER SIDE DELIVERS WARM AIR ,AND THE PASSENGER SIDE IS COLD, ALL THREE ACTUATOR WE'RE REPLACED AND THE NEW THERMOSTATS WERE ALSO REPLACED.... I HAVE READED ABOUT THIS CAR HAVING THESE ISSUES, I ALSO TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE STATED ,THAT DODGE IS COMMONLY KNOWN FOR THIS PROBLEM....I HONESTLY FEEL THAT THIS IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND SHOULD FIX OUR CAR AT NO CHARGE...

REAR OF VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT'S ON CASTERS. FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO FISHTAIL

THE CAR BLOWS WARM TO HOT AIR OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND COLD AIR OUT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WHEN YOU HAVE THE CONTROLS SET TO HEAT. I HAVE HAD THE HEATER CORE AND COOLANT SYSTEM FLUSHED AS WELL AS HAD THERMOSTATS, WATER PUMP REPLACED BUT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. WHEN SET TO DEFROST ONLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE DEFROSTS. THE PASSWNGER'S SIDE GETS WORSE. THIS ISSUE IS CURRENT AND ALWAYS HAPPENING NO MATTER THE STATE OF THE VEHICLE. IF IT IS MOVING OR STILL IT DOES NOT BLOW HEAT OUT THE PASENGER'S SIDE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR WINDSHIELD REDUCES VISIBILITY BECAUSE IT WILL NOT DEFROST AND BECAUSE OF THE HEIGHTENED HYPOTHERMIA RISK. YES

I HAVE A 2011 AVENGER AND THE HEAT STOPPED BLOWING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT ONLY WORKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE.I HAVE HEARD AND SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS.

2011 DODGE AVENGER. 3.6L ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH, ON DECELERATION, ONCE THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE STALLS. ALL ELECTRICAL STILL WORKS, BUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ARE LOST. CAR DOES NOT RESTART FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR OR MORE, BUT WILL START EVNETUALLY. HAS HAPPENED "INTERMITTENTLY" 10 TIMES SINCE DEC 2017 (THIS REPORT DONE JULY 2018). 8 DEALER TRIPS WITH A TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT, NEW FUEL PUMP AND STILL STALLING ISSUES WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. EMPTY BACK ROADS, STATE HIGHWAYS AND EVEN BUSY FREEWAYS HAVE ALL BEEN LOCATIONS FOR STALLS. ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS, (WINTER, SUMMER, WET, DRY). ONE CODE PULLED REFERRED TO THE TIPM, WHICH IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER, BUT NOT DOCUMENTED IN THE AVENGER. DEALER WANTS A SECOND CODE TO CONFIRM BUT OF THE 10 STALLS AND 8 BEING TOWED TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY, ONLY ONCE WAS CODE SAVED IN CAR'S COMPUTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL FAILURES WITH THE WINDOW MOTORS AS THE POWER WINDOWS FAILED TO OPERATE AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (MANCARI'S CHRYSLER, 2514 95TH ST, OAK LAWN, IL 60453) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE RELATED TO THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

AIR BAG LIGHT ON DEALERSHIP SAYS IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ORC RECALL THAT WAS REPAIRED, BRAKES SKIP THEN POP BEFORE STOPPING TOOK IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS TO GET INSPECTED NONE OF THEM COULD FINE AN ISSUE INCLUDING DODGE DEALERSHIP. FRONT DOOR CAN NOT BE SHUT BEFORE BACK DOOR OR IT WILL SCRATCH BACK DOOR. OIL LEAK FROM ENGINE GASKET AND ENGINE PAN. POPPING IT STEERING COLUMN AND SHAKING WHEN GOING DOWN HILL. AGAIN DEALERSHIP AND 4 OTHER CERTIFIED MECHANICS CAN NOT FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE POPPING IT THE STEERING COLUMN AND JUMPING AND SKIP IN THE BRAKES BEFORE STOPPING. THE BRAKE ISSUE HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED AND POPPING IN THE STEERING WHEEL HAPPENS MAINLY ANY SLOWER SPEEDS WHEN LETTING GO GAS OR BRAKE NO TURNING GOING STRAIGHT.

VEHICLE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS,RECENTLY TOOK IT IN FOR THE ORC RECALL DEALER ADVISED THAT'S NOT THE REASON FOR THE RECALL, HES HAD MULTIPLE OTHER DODGE AVENGERS COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HE SED ME TO CONTACT DODGE AND FILE A COMPLAINT. I DID READ TODAY THAT 2012+ DODGE AVENGERS HAVE CAME UP WITH ANOTHER RECALL THAT HAS TO DO WITH AIR BAG LIGHT BEING ON SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO BESIDE FILE A COMPLAINT. IVE ALSO HAD MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS CAR, THE BRAKING SYSTEM WILL SKIP BEFORE STOPPING (ITS REALLY HARD TO EXPLAIN). IVE BEEN TO 4 DIFFERENT MECHANICS JENSEN TIRES, TIRES PLUS, BRAKES PLUS, AND THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THEMSELVES. ALL OF THEM HAVE PERFORMED A FULL INSPECTION ON VEHICLE AND SAID EVERYTHING IS PERFECT AND NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AT TIMES GOING AROUND 45-60 MPH, TURNING AT 15-20 MPH AND GOING UP HILL AROUND 15 MPH (DODGE SAYS THATS NORMAL FOR DODGES). CAR WILL CLUNK WHEN PUTTING IT IN D,R,P (DODGE SAYS ALL DODGES MAKE THAT SAME NOISE). CAR IDLES ROUGH WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP, ROLLING AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT (DODGE SAYS ITS NORMAL FOR DODGE VEHICLES TO DO THAT WHEN ITS HOT OUTSIDE). IM GOING TO TRYING TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER FULL INSPECTION AND IF THEY DON'T FIND THESE ISSUE I WILL BE JUNKING THIS VEHICLE, ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, ITS VERY HARD TO DRIVE AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A CITY STREET. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE AIRBAG EXPLODED. IN THE STEERING COLUMN...MY RIGHT FOREARM WAS BURNT AND MY RIGHT EAR HAS SOME DAMAGE AS FAR AS HEARING.... I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE ON 5/31/18, 6/1/18, 6/4/18, 6/5/18, 6/6/18 AND FINALLY ON 6/8/18 SOMEONE CONTACTED ME BACK. I HAD MY 5 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR WITH ME....WE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT IF WE HADN'T JUST TURNED FROM THE RED LIGHT.... I FEEL THAT DODGE IS NOT TAKING THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY. I HAVE PICTURES ON MY PHONE THAT I COULD SEND IF NEEDED TOO. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR WILL BLOW COLD AIR AND THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL BLOW WARM AIR DESPITE THIS BEING A SINGLE ZONE A/C SYSTEM. THIS ISSUE STARTED AFTER HEAVY ACCELERATION GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I SAW SMOKE BILLOW FROM THE CENTER A/C VENTS. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD, BUT FOUND NOTHING BURNING. IT WAS LATER THAT DAY WHEN I NOTICED THE ISSUE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE COOLING AND THE DRIVERS SIDE NOT. AFTER MUCH READING, THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AFFECTING MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS.

CAR WILL BREAK DOWN (TOTAL LOSS OF RPMS, NOT POWER). HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY, ON A BRIDGE AND IN RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE CAR WILL START BACK UP AFTER 1-2 HOURS WITH NO ISSUE. 5 MECHANICS, INCLUDING THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE ISSUE AND/OR RESOLVE.

MY DODGE AVENGER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT EVERYONE ELSE'S CAR HAS WITH A 3.6L VVT IN THE CAR, THE ENGINE OIL COOLER CRACKS, AND SPRAYS OIL EVERYWHERE, THE PROBLEM IS THAT IF IT ISN'T CAUGHT THE OIL GET ALL OVER THE PLACE AND CAUSES BELTS TO SMOKE BECAUSE THE OIL AND ANTIFREEZE ARE LEAKING FROM THE OIL COOLER. CONSIDERING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE MOTORS, THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, SO THE OIL COOLER CAN BE RECALLED, SO DODGE WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM!! IT IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRIP AND IT DECIDES TO CRACK WHILE YOU'RE DOING 70 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY AND ALL THE OIL AND ANTIFREEZE BLOWS OUT THE CAR. AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE PROBLEM IS UNTIL THE CAR IS STOPPED AND YOU GET IT TOWED HOME, YOU CHECK ALL THE FLUIDS AND REFILL THEM THEN YOU COME OUTSIDE THE NEXT MORNING AND YOU SEE THE BIG LEAK FROM THE OIL ALL ON THE GROUND AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM TEAR THE CAR APART BECAUSE THERE IS OIL ALL OVER THE PLACE UNDER THE HOOD.

MY HEATER ISN'T BLOWING WARM AIR OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE. THINKING THE DOOR/FLAP ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY.

PASSENGER SIDE HEAT BLOWS WEAK COLD AIR (DASH, FLOOR, AND DEFROSTER). WINDSHIELD WILL NOT DEFROST. HEATER CORE REPLACED, CLOGGED WITH CASTING SAND FROM MANUFACTURER. TWO WEEKS LATER, NEW CORE CLOGGED. MECHANIC SPENT MOST OF ONE DAY CONTINUOUSLY FLUSHING ENGINE/SYSTEM. SAND STILL FLUSHING OUT AT END OF DAY FROM HEAT/COOLING SYSTEM. CONDITIONS ARE STATIONARY OR MOVING (ANY SPEED) WITH HEATER ON. UNSURE HOW LONG THIS WAS OCCURRING AS I RARELY HAVE A PASSENGER. DRIVER'S SIDE SEEMED TO WORK FINE, SO I DID NOT NOTICE UNTIL ROUTINELY TRANSPORTING PASSENGER AND GOT WORSE TO THE POINT IT WAS DIFFICULT SEEING OUT OF WINDSHIELD.

DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. THE WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN.

AFTER 80'000 MILES SHIFING PROBLEMS, THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE. WILL NOT BACK UP. ALONG WITH SEAT BELT ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE HEATER BLEW OUT COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND HOT AIR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE ONLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000.

THE HEAT BLOWS WARM ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND FREEZING COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AND WINDOW. THEREFORE, ONLY HALF OF MY WINDOW WILL GET DEFROSTED. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER I AM DRIVING OR SITTING IDLE.

WITH LESS THAN 77,000 MILES ON MY 2011 DODGE AVENGER THE HEATING SYSTEM QUIT WORKING,I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST 2,000 TO 3,000 DOLLARS TO FIX. I ALSO BEEN TOLD FROM PAST DODGE MECHANICS THAT DODGE HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR 10 TO 15 YEARS AND FAIL TO RECALL THE CARS AFFECTED. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO HEAT ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CAR,AFTER SEEING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY DODGE.

AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE I TOOK IT FOR A SHORT DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS SPEEDING UP TO 35-40 MPH WHEN THE CAR STALLED. THE CAR STARTED AND I DECIDED THAT I BETTER TAKE IT HOME. I STARTED THE CAR, TURNED AROUND ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING, IT STALLED AGAIN. IT STALLED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME, I WAS NEVER ABLE TO DRIVE MORE THAN 45MPH BEFORE IT WOULD STA... SEVERAL DAYS LATER I DECIDED TO TRY TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. IT MADE IT TWO MILES OUT OF TOWN (GOING 65MPH) BEFORE IT STARTED STALLING AGAIN. IT TOOK ME OVER AN HOUR TO MAKE IT HOME BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD START, DRIVE FOR ABOUT 3 FEET AND STALL AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM TOWED IT TO THEIR SHOP AND THEY "RESET" THE COMPUTER. IT DROVE FINE FOR TWO DAYS BEFORE STALLING AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET GOING 45MPH. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR SEVERAL MINUTES LATER AND DRIVE IT THE LAST 1/4 OF A MILE TO WORK. NOW I AM AT WORK WONDERING IF I WILL MAKE IT SAFELY HOME. I LIVE AN HOUR FROM WORK.

HEATING SYSTEM BLOWING COLD AIR OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS, WHILE THE DRIVERS SIDE IS WARM .

WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE BRAKE WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. AND THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE HAD THE HEATER CORE FLUSHED DID NO GOOD WAS TOLD THERE WAS LEFT OVER SAND FROM ENGINE CAST. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY CHYSLER! I DON'T HAVE $1500 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF.

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE. MAKES FOR UNCOMFORTABLE TEMPERATURE AND LACK OF VISIBILITY ON PASSENGER SIDE

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

HEATER BLOWS COLD ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR AND WARM ON DRIVERS SIDE OF CAR. WON'T DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD FOR MANY MILES. DEALER SAID IT'S HEATER CORE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM DODGE. SAND AND METAL FRAGMENTS FROM THE FACTORY ENGINE MOLD GETS INTO THE WATER SYSTEM AND IN TIME PLUGS THE HEATER CORE OR RADIATOR IN TIME.THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. OR SHOULD BE

DRIVER SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR. WHETHER ON THE WINDSHIELD OR THROUGH THE VENTS. PASSENGER SIDE FOGS UP AND DOESN'T CLEAR WHERE THE DRIVER SIDE IS FINE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BLOWING COLD AIR WITH THE HEATER IS ON. WE WENT TO THE DEALER, WHERE WE HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND THEY SAID THE HEATER CORE IS PARTLY PLUGGED & THAT IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $1300, AND THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THERE IS LEFTOVER SAND FROM THE ENGINE CAST WHEN DODGE FIRST PUT THE CAR TOGETHER. THE SAND MADE ITS WAY INTO THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE HEATER CORE THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE USES FOR HEAT. I THINK DODGE SHOULD PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE. I CAN BE DRIVING 30 OR MORE MILE AND THE HEATER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE CAN NOT KEEP UP WITH THE COLD AIR.

I OWN A 2011 DODGE AVENGER...WHICH HAS NO HEAT. IT STARTED WITH COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW THERE IS NO HEAT AT ALL, AND LIVING WHERE ITS 20 BELOW, IT ISN'T FUN DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING. I HAVE REPLACED THE TEMP SENSORS, CONTROL KNOBS, ACTUATOR, HAVE FLUSHED THE RADIATOR 3X HAVE FLUSHED THE HEATER CORE 3X. EACH FLUSHING PRODUCED SAND. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD OF HAD TO PAY FOR THIS AS IT IS THE FAULT OF DODGE!! I HAVE NEVER OWNED ANYTHING BUT A DODGE BUT THIS ISSUE IS MAKING THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT DODGE. U WOULD THINK THAT DODGE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THERE CUSTOMERS....I THINK DODGE SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS. IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE I'M CHANGING I BELIEVE. SAD SAD SAD!!!

HEATER ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR ON DRIVERS SIDE VENT. MIDDLE TWO VENTS ARE COOL AIR AND PASSENGER VENT IS VERY COLD AIR. IT IS CAUSING THE SAME EFFECT ON MY WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS CAUSING SERIOUS VISIBILITY ISSUES ACROSS HALF OF MY WINDSHIELD DUE TO NOTHING DEFROSTING THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS DOES NOT CHANGE EVEN AFTER MY CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR 45 MINUTES AND MORE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE SEEING AS I CANNOT SEE TO DRIVE SAFELY FOR MYSELF AND ANY PASSING BY VEHICLES. WE ALSO HAVE CHILDREN AND THE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN IN THE SINGLE DIGITS THIS PAST WEEK, IVE HAD TO PACK BLANKETS ON TOP OF THEM IN THE CAR (SINCE THEY CANNOT WEAR THICK COATS WHILE IN A CARSEAT) JUST TO ATTEMPT TO KEEP THEM WARM AND EVEN THEN THEY ARE COMPLAINING THAT THEY ARE COLD. FOR A VEHICLE THAT I STILL MAKE PAYMENTS ON, I EXPECTED TO ATLEAST STAY WARM AND BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE IM DRIVING DURING COLD TEMPERATURES. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP.

TAKATA RECALL HEAT IN THE CAR IS NOT WORKING. PASSENGER SIDE DOESNT WORK AT ALL. THE DRIVERS SIDE WORKS AT TIMES BUT NOT REALLY. I GOT AIR CONDITIONER FIXED AND SUPPOSEDLY HEAT WAS FIXED SAME TIME FROM DODGE DEALERSHIP IN TOMS RIVER IT WAS NOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO EMIT HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

THE KNOWN ISSUE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT GOING OUT. NOT ABLE TO HEAT UP IN THE COLD WEATHER OF MARYLAND'S WINTERS. ONE MONTH AGO CAR STARTED TICKING BUT NOW THE HEAT IS STARTING TO FADE AWAY.

WHILE MY 2011 DODGE AVENGER IS IDLING AND SLOWING DOWN IT CONTINUES TO STALL OUT. IT ALSO SOMETIMES DOES IT WHILE I'M DRIVING TOO. I THEN HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT AND PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND NO NOTIFICATIONS UNDER THE SYSTEM CHECK DASH LIGHT.

PASSENGER-SIDE DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER BLOWS COLD AIR RENDERING VISIBILITY DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, OR COLD SEASON. SEVERAL NEAR-MISS OCCURRENCES ON ROAD WAY DUE POOR VISIBILITY ON PASSENGER-SIDE WINDSHIELD AND PASSENGER-SIDE WINDOW. PASSENGER-SIDE HEAT INOPERABLE. REPLACED PASSENGER-SIDE BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS. FLUSHED HEATER CORE (TEMPORARY FIX), BUT REOCCURRING PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. AN UNKNOWN DEALER IN MADISONVILLE, TX WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
