2013 Dodge Avenger complaints

HEAT IS ONLY BLOWING ON DRIVERS SIDE, BLOWS COLD ON PASSENGER SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE HEATER WAS ACTIVATED HOWEVER, THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS ONLY PRODUCED COLD AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIO OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY WHILE THE HORN WAS INOPERABLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THEIR SON WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH IN THE RAIN, WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE HEATER ON AND DEFROST THE WINDOWS, THE SYSTEM FAILED. THE CONTACT CONTACTED AAA WHO RECOMMENDED A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER'S CHORD WAS BLOCKED WITH SAND THAT LEAKED FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TWICE NOW I'VE HAD TO HAVE MY HEATER CORE REPLACED AS THE PASSENGER BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN IT SHOULD BE HEAT JUST LIKE THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY DODGE ABD THEY WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM OR EVEN ASSIST WITH IT.

THE ISSUE OCCURS MOSTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, BUT OCCASIONALLY WHEN IT IS SITTING STILL AND IDLING. WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY STALL. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS TURN ON. NO CODES ARE FOUND WHEN SCANNING THE OBD2. THERE ARE NO RECORDED MISS FIRES FOR ANY OF THE CYLINDERS EITHER. THIS IS AN ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION SPECIFICALLY WHEN DRIVING FULL SPEED ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS OR ROADS. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, POWER STEERING CUTS OUT AND I HAVE TO MUSCLE THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND START IT UP AGAIN. THE ENGINE HAS STALLED WHILE GOING IN REVERSE, DRIVING FORWARD, AND SITTING IDLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A DOZEN TIMES NOW.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH ON A CITY STREET THE FRONT PASSENGER HEAD REST AIRBAG HAD WENT OFF WITH PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED TO CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY.

2013 DODGE AVENGER HAS RANDOMLY STARTED HONKING THE HORN WHILE STOPPED AND IN MOTION. THE HONKING LASTS ANYWHERE FROM A QUICK HONK TO SOUNDING LIKE I AM LAYING ON THE HORN FOR MINUTES GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY. I HAVE TRIED PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WHICH DID NOT HELP OR STOP THE HORN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

2013 DODGE AVENGER HEATER/DEFROST NOT PROPERLY WORKING. IT HAS BEGUN TO GO OUT ONE VENT AT A TIME LEAVING ONLY ONE VENT BLOWING WARM AIR ALL OTHERS BLOW COLD. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS WHEN IT DOES NOT DEFROST PROPERLY AND WHEN NEEDING DEFROST WHILE DRIVING IT ONLY MAKES THE WINDSHIELD VISIBLE THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE WITH THE HEAT. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS ISSUE BY CHANGING BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS AND FLUSHING THE HEATER CORE WHICH CAME OUT CLEAR.

FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS MY HORN GOES OFF ON ITS OWN. SOMETIMES IT GOES OFF WHEN I LOCK MY CAR, OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT. IT WILL SOMETIMES CLICK, AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL BLARE FOR 5 SECONDS. IT IS VERY STARTLING ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC OR SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT. ONCE I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN, AND IT WENT OFF FOR ABOUT 8 SECONDS AND AT THE SAME TIME MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED TO STALL AND NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE HORN DOES NOT WORK WHEN I PUSH ON IT LIKE IT SHOULD. IT IS VERY CONCERNING SINCE IT CAN CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT BLOWS COLD AIR,THEREFORE WHEN TRYING TO DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD MY WINDSHIELD FROSTED BACK UP AFTER BEING SCRAPED OF ICE AND BEGAN TO SPREAD TO THE DRIVERS SIDE WHICH MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED BUT FAILED TO PERFORM AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED DUE TO FAILURE HE WAS UNABLE TO DEFROST HIS WINDOWS DURING COLD WEATHER AND UNABLE TO SEE CLEARLY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

THE HEATER WILL ONLY COME OUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. WITH THE HEATER ON ONLY COLD AIR WILL COME OUT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATER AND THE DEFROSTER FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE QUIGLEY MOTORS DEALER (610-367-2191, LOCATED AT 565 ROUTE 100 N, BOYERTOWN, PA 19512) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE HEATER CORE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 97,000. *LN *TP *JB *DT

STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COMING ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN PARKED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE SWITCH. AIRBAG LIGHT ON. DIAGNOSTIC SHOWS THERE IS A SHORT IN AIRBAG WIRING AND THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF NEEDED. THIS LIGHT COMES ON AFTER STARTING CAR AND STAYS ON CONSTANTLY.

WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 12/19/2019 FOR TWO RECALLS ON MY CAR. THE REPAIR WAS STATED THAT IT WOULD TAKE 2-3 HOURS BUT TOOK 5 HOURS. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR STARTED BACKING UP OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY ON ITS ON AND NOW IT DOES NOT START. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL THEM THE PROBLEM AND THEY STATED THAT I HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO BRING THE CAR THERE AND PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF. MY CAR WAS FINE BEFORE THEY WORKED ON IT.

CAR ONLY BLOWS HEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2013 AND ABOUT 3 YEARS AFTER PURCHASING THE HEAT HAS GONE OUT BUT THE AIR WORKS FINE IN SUMMER, SO I'VE BEEN WITHOUT HEAT BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR COST AND I WILL DEFINITELY NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE ON ACCOUNT THAT AFTER READING THAT SO MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE VERY SAME PROBLEM BUT YET DODGE DOES NOT SEE THE NEED TO DO A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM....SO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ENDS AFTER YOU SAY I DO!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO HEAT IN THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 101,320.

WHILE DRIVING AT HWY. SPEED VEHICLE SURGED BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS, ETC. NEXT TIME STARTED, WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON INDICATING A P2173 CODE.CAR WAS JUST AT DODGE DEALER FOR RECALLS. CAR WILL IDLE FINE FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN START SURGING, IDLING ROUGH WITH NO POWER AND SET WARNING LIGHTS, MIL, ETC, ESC. THESE WILL GO OFF WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF EXCEPT FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WE HAVE REPLACED THROTTLE BODY WITH NO CHANGE. CLEARED CODE AND CAME BACK AND DID THE SAME. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT DODGE HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. IT IS NOT SAFE.

HEATER/DEFROSTER BLOWING COLD AIR OUT PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. PROBLEM WITH DEFROSTER/VISABILITY. HEATER CORE REPLACED IN JAN 2018. THERMOSTAT REPLACED IN 2019. NOW TWO YEARS LATER SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING AGAIN.

ENGINE HAS COMPLETELY STALLED AT LOW SPEEDS WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS OR WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. CAR WILL NOT RESTART BUT IF IT SITS FOR AN HOUR OR SO IT STARTS BACK UP. NO CODES PRESENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATING HVAC SYSTEM WAS INOPERABLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT DEFROST WHEN THE HEATER WAS ACTIVATED. THE CONTACT WAS AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE HVAC SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

I BOUGHT THE V6 DODGE AVENGER BECAUSE STICKER ON CAR SHOWED COST OF OWNERSHIP COSTS, THIS WAS HIGHLY INACCURATE. I FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION THEN 3 MONTHS LATER IM LEFT ON THE SHOULDER IF THE ROAD. I KNOW IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION PUMP ON MY 62TE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED AND I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS 75000 MILES HOW COULD THIS BE. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO BUDGE ON PRICE AND REPLACED TRANSMISSION. I HAD THE CAR FOR 12 HOURS THEN IT BLEW AGAIN, I THINK SOMEBODY HAS TO WATCH OUT I JUST SAW THE RACALL AFFECTED FOR 2016 AND UP TRANS BUT THE OLD ONES R THE SAME CHEAP TRANSMISSIONS TO SAVE EM A BUCK AND MAKE SURE WARRANTIES ALWAYS EXPORE BEFORE THE SHT BREAKS

THE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR WHEN HEATER IS ON, BUT PASSENGER REMAINS COLD. CANNOT GET PASSENGER SIDE TO DEFROST / DEFOG BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE DAY IT WAS BOUGHT. EVEN WHEN I WAS IN WARRANTY (BUMPER TO BUMPER) I STILL WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER STATIONARY / IDLE OR DRIVING.

MY CAR BEGAN CLICKING, APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS AT A TIME, LATE WINTER EARLY SPRING 2018-2019 WHEN THE HEAT WAS TURNED ON. I CAME TO REALIZE THE CAR DID NOT NEED TO BE RUNNING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. DURING AN OIL CHANGE THE FOLLOWING WEEK I WAS TOLD THE CLICKING HAD TO DO WITH THE VENTS AND HOW COMMON THIS CLICKING WAS AND THAT REPAIR EAS NOT GUARANTEED. AS I AM THE PRIMARY PERSON/OCCUPANT IN MY CAR, I FOUND OUT LATER THE HEAT ONLY PRODUCED WARM AIR. THIS IS MY 1ST TIME OWNING A DODGE AND EVERYDAY MY EXPERIENCES WITH THIS CAR REAFFIRMS I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER. I MAKE IT A POINT TO TELL ANY AND EVERYONE THIS FACT. I HAVE COPIED SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS LOGGED ABOUT THIS AND MY OTHER ISSUE, CAR STALLING WHILE TURNING LEFT TO ENTER THE FREEWAY WITH THROTTLE INDICATOR. I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ALONE AND FEMALE UNTIL TOW ARRIVED AT 9PM AND THE COST FOR AN ALTERNATOR WHICH AFTER READING THIS MAY NOT BE THE ISSUE.... HAD I KNOWN HOW UNRESPONSIVE DODGE IS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS BY PUTTING THEIR PROFIT OVER OUR COST OF REPAIRS... AGAIN, I TELL EVERYONE WHAT THEY ARE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE IF THEY PURCHASE THE AVENGER. THE COMPLAINANTS LISTED HERE AND ON OTHER SITES VERY LIKELY AGREE. ATTACHED PICS WERE TIME STAMPED 6.39PM. I SAT ON THE ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS.

THE HEAT ONLY WORKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE THE VENTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STILL BLOW AIR BUT IT IS ICE COLD WHETHER THE CAR IS PARKED OR IN MOTION THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT BLOW OUT WARM AIR THIS IS AN ISSUES THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

WHEN HEAT IS ON, THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD (I LIVE IN WI SO, WHEN I SAY COLD, I MEAN COLD) AIR FROM EVERY BLOWING PORT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE... OCCURS AT ALL TIMES, WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. HAVE TRIED A FEW THINGS RECCOMENDED ON MULTIPLE OTHER PAGES BY PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. NO HELP. THE DRIVER SIDE VENTS DO BLOW WARM AIR BUT, NOT CLOSE TO AS HOT AS IT SHOULD BE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE RIGHT AROUND 118,000 MILES. I START MY CAR 20 MINUTES BEFORE I LEAVE MY HOUSE AT 5AM TO BRING MY YOUNG CHILDREN TO DAYCARE AND BE TO WORK BY 6. WHEN GETTING IN AFTER BEING STARTED FOR 20 MIN... BARELY ANY DIFFERENCE IN TEMP WHICH, IS FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU DRIVE WITH YOUR BABIES 35 MINUTES IN THE COLD COLD COLD ALONG WITH SEVERAL DEER AND A WINDSHIELD THAT WON'T DEFROST COMPLETELY. HAVE PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM DEALER AND, SOMEHOW (WHAT A SHOCK) THERE IS NO HELP FOR ME AS 'THE ISSUES BEING DESCRIBED SOUND LIKE IT WAS BROUGHT ON BY YOU, THE VEHICLE OWNER OR, ENVIORMENT FACTORS'... IT HURTS KNOWING YOU ARE A LOYAL AND HONEST HUMAN WHO WORKS HARD EVERY DAY TO BARELY MAKE ENDS MEET AND THEN... TO HAVE YOUR CHARACTER SLANDERED BY THE (SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS EXTRA) LIFETIME WARRANTY THAT THE SALESMAN SO CONFIDENTLY SWORE BY ON THE DAY OF PURCHASE. OWNER MISUSE? THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES WHO OWN THE EXACT SAME CAR... SORRY BUT, SAFE TO SAY THAT ISN'T COINCIDENTAL. I HAVE CHILDREN AND GROCERIES AND GA

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE AVENGER AND THE HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF FROM 3 SECONDS TO 3 MINUTES CONSTANTLY. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR IT CUTS OFF. MY CAR HAS ONLY 85000 MILES AND I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS VEHICLE AROUND THAT MILEAGE.

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).

FOR THE PAST YEAR, MY CAR RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON FOR WHEN IT STALLS, SO I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. NO LIGHTS EVER APPEAR ON THE DASH. AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW MINUTES, MY CAR USUALLY STARTS BACK UP AGAIN. IN ADDITION TO THE ENGINE STALLING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STUTTER AND THE CAR HORN RANDOMLY SOUNDS FROM ANYWHERE BETWEEN A SECOND TO A FULL MINUTE. I'M NOT SURE IF THE TWO ISSUES ARE RELATED AT ALL, BUT I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND GOTTEN VARIOUS PARTS REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE TWO RECALLS FOR 2013 DODGE AVENGERS FOR AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE STALLING, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY 2013 DODGE AVENGER IS NOT INCLUDED--EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SAY HOW DANGEROUS IT IS FOR ONE'S ENGINE TO STALL OUT ON A HIGHWAY. MY HUSBAND ALMOST GOT HIT BY AN 18-WHEELER AS THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE HE WAS DRIVING IN FRONT OF IT. THE STEERING-WHEEL LOCKED, BUT LUCKILY HE WAS ABLE TO SOMEHOW STEER OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE SHOULDER. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR IN THIS CONDITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND THE STABILITY CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE, AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM MONTIOR AND A FUEL LEAK WERE THE CAUSES OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE THE HEATER WAS ACTIVATED, THE PASSENGER SIDE VENT DISTRIBUTED COLD AIR WHILE THE DRIVER'S SIDE VENT DISTRIBUTED HOT AIR AND FAILED TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED BALD HILL DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (1035 BALD HILL RD, WARWICK, RI 02886, (844) 847-4671) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEATER CORE WAS CLOGGED UP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER AIR BAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MACK GRUBBS MOTORS (LOCATED AT 1480 HIGHWAY 98 E, COLUMBIA, MS 39429, 601-376-9938). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,830.

THE TRANS MISSION FLUID IS LEAKING. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER HOOK UP UNDER THE HOOD IS BROKEN. THE GAS CAP IS BROKEN. I JUST PUT ON A NEW ALTERNATOR ON 9/28/2019 AND ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON.

JUST LEAVING A PARKING LOT GOING MAYBE 15 MPH AT THE MOST AND THE DRIVER HEAD REST POPPED OUT AND A SPRING WENT FLYING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT HIT OR DID NOT MAKE ANY IMPACT WITH ANYTHING, NOT EVEN A SPEED BUMP. THE HEAD RESTS ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE NOW AND IT WAS TERRIFYING GETTING HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT. LOCAL DEALERSHIP ADVISED THIS IS NOT UNDER A RECALL SO IT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR. ESTIMATE WAS CLOSE TO $3,000. THAT IS ABSURD WHEN IT IS A DEFECT AND NOT SOMETHING THAT I CAUSED.

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE HEAT DOES NOT OPERATE AS EXPECTED. THRU HOURS OF RESEARCH THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY HEATER CORE. THE ISSUE IS VERY COMMON ACROSS MANY DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THE HEATER CORES ARE DEFECTIVE AND EVEN AFTER FLUSHING, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIRS THE HEATER CORE WILL NOT PRODUCE HEAT AS NECESSARY. FOR MOST PEOPLE THIS PROBLEM IS AN INCONVENIENCE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THIS ISSUE CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO DRIVING. TRULY HAVING OPTIMAL HEAT DURING WINTER MONTHS IS CRUCIAL TO KEEPING THE WINDSHIELD CLEAN. HAVING THE NECESSARY HEAT IS THE ONLY WAY IN COLD WEATHER TO KEEP THE WINDSHIELD FROM FOGGING AND FROM BEING ICED OVER IN WINTER STORMS. I HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND CLEAN MY WINDSHIELD OTHERWISE THE DRIVING WAS DANGEROUS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY BECAUSE NO HEAT COMES OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE INTERIOR. THIS LACK OF HEAT CAUSED ICE AND FOG TO BE AN ISSUE ON MY CAR IN NUMEROUS SITUATIONS OVER THE COURSE OF THE 2018-2019 WINTER IN MINNESOTA. I DROVE ON HWY 169 FOR JUST 5-20 MILES AND WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER DUE TO LACK OF HEAT AND BUILD UP OF FOG AND ICE. I AM VERY SURE FROM READING OTHER PEOPLES EXPERIENCES THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME FEELINGS. AS MENTIONED, THIS PROBLEM IS CHRONIC AND A SIMPLE PART REPLACEMENT WONT SOLVE THE RECURRING PROBLEM. IF THERE IS ANY WAY A REPLACEMENT HEATER CORE PLUS A NEW TYPE OF COOLANT CAN BE BROUGHT FORWARD AS A RECALL FIX, THAT I

ON THE EVENING OF 10/05/2019, WHILE TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT A STEADY 25-30 MPH, THE PASSENGER HEADREST FELT LIKE IT EXPLODED. THE PASSENGER'S HEAD WAS SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY PUSHED FORWARD. IT APPEARS FROM INTERNET RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A FAILURE OF THE "ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT" SYSTEM.

HEAD REST ON PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON ON JULY 15TH. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND GRAND DAUGHTER WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT. GRAND DAUGHTER REACHED AROUND BETWEEN THE SEATS TO GET SOMETHING AND THE HEAD REST WENT OFF, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON CITY STREET. UNSAFE IF THAT DEPLOYED TO THE PASSENGER OR DRIVER WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING STILL. COULD GIVE YOU A CONCUSSION OR LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. VEHICLE STALLED HAD TO PULL OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THROTTLE BODY CONTROL THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH , ALL WARNING INDICATORS STARTED TO FLASH, THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAITED FEW MINUTES. VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY.

MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

CURRENTLY HAVING AN ISSUE WITH HEAT NOT WORKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2013 DODGE AVENGER. COLD AIR BLOWS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND ONLY HEAT IS BLOWING ON DRIVER SIDE WHICH IMPACTS DEFROSTING ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE AT TIMES AND ALSO WINTER IS COMING AND I NEED T KEEP MY CHILD AND I WARM. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES BY DODGE AVENGER OWNERS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR DODGE TO RECALL THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT??? IALSO PAID $1500 TO HAVE MY TIPM FIXED IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE HORN WAS HONKING AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY AND NIGHT AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT.

THE HEAD GASKET FAILED AND WAS REPLACED DESPITE PROTESTATIONS FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I LEARNED THE HEAD GASKET HAD A DESIGN FLAW CAUSING IT TO FAIL PREMATURELY. CATALYTIC CONVERTER RECALLED, DEALERSHIP ADVISED IT WAS UNKNOWN WHEN IT WOULD REPAIRED. RECALL ADVISED DELAY COULD DAMAGE ENGINE. FINALLY REPAIRED AFTER COMPLAINT TO DEALERSHIP GM. VEHICLE IS MAKING NOISES AND LOSING POWER SUDDENLY, THEN SUDDEN INCREASE OF RPM WHILE DRIVING. SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER COULD CAUSE CRASH IN TRAFFIC, SAME WITH SUDDEN RPM INCREASE. FAN WIRING HARNESS RECALLED, DEALERSHIP ADVISED OF FAILURE TO FAN WHEN TAKEN IN FOR HEADGASKET, NOTHING DONE. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS MADE WITH DODGE HQ.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CONTACT PRESSED THE HEATER BUTTON AND FELT COLD AIR COMING FROM THE VENTS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

I AM GOING TO HAVE IT REPLACED BY MY SON. I CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER. THIS HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS BUT HAD GOTTEN WORSE. JUST WANTED TO REPORT IT IN CASE THERE ARE OTHERS THAT MAY LEAD TO RECALLS. ONLY 40,000 MILES ON CAR NOW, ABOUT 38,000 WHEN PROBLEM STARTED.
