2013 Dodge Avenger complaints

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON FROM A WHILE, AFTER CHECKING THE ERROR CODES, DUE HEAD SET RESTRAINT CONTROLLER. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO

WHILE MAKING A STOP THE PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT BUT NO ACCIDENT IMPACT. THE HEADREST WILL NOT RESET. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRS DUE TO THE SAFETY RECALL COMPLETED BUT THE DEALER SAYS THEY WILL NOT COVER THE DEFECTIVE HEADREST. THIS HAS REDUCED THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE.

2013 DODGE AVENGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS UNSATISFACTORY. *JS

THE VEHICLE'S HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND WARM AIR FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE SIMULTANEOUSLY. ALL VENTS ( FOOT AREA, FACE AREA, AND WINDSHIELD AREA) ARE AFFECTED.

THE A/C / HEATER BLOWS HOT AIR ON DRIVER SIDE AND COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. DIFFICULT TO DEFROST WINDSHIELD. REPLACED THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR BEHIND GLOVE BOX. THIS ONLY FIXED THE CLICKING NOISE. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS ONLY COLD AIR. WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST ON PASSENEGER SIDE CAUSING ISSUES NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE PROPERLY WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS TOOK TO A SHOP TO DIAGNOSE AS A HEATER CORE PROBLEM. WAS NOT ABLE TO GET REPAIRED DUE TO REPAIR COST BEI NG EXTREMLY HIGH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ENGINE FAILED AND ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, THE SHIFT CABLE WAS STUCK AND FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE CONTACT CALLED BOERNE CHRYSLER AT 830-981-8000 AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND TO CONTACT NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FAILED TO FUNCTION. WHEN THE HEATER WAS ACTIVATED TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD, IT BLEW COLD AIR AND FAILED TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ADVENTURE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (36845 EUCLID AVE, WILLOUGHBY, OH 44094) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS MOVING OR IF IT IS STATIONARY, THERE IS ONLY WARM AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THERE IS COLD AIR BLOWING OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ONLY THE DRIVERS HALF OF MY WINDSHIELD WILL DEFROST. I HAVE REPLACED THE ACTUATOR TWICE AND IT DOES NOT HELP. THE CLICKING UNDER THE DASHBOARD NOT ONLY RETURNS, BUT THE HEAT (OR LACK-THERE-OF) IS NOT AFFECTED. IT STILL ONLY BLOWS WARM AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR. THE DEFROST ONLY WORKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO AVENGERS ACROSS THE BOARD, NO MATTER THE MODEL TYPE. ALL DUE IT LOOKS LIKE TO CASTING AND SAND ISSUES. AFTER FLUSHING THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES, THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE. REPLACED THE HEATER CORE/THERMOSTAT ($850) AND THE HEAT WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN STARTED BLOWING COLD AIR AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE HEATER CONTROL PANEL. ($275). COLD AIR AGAIN......... THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OF SOMETHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. NOTHING IS WORKING AND IT'S ONLY COSTING A WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY.

WHEN THE HEATER IS ON FOR A WHILE THE CLICKING NOISE COMES ON

ETC LIGHTS COMING ON CAR NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, PART WAS REPLACED 6 MONTHS AGO AND RETURNED AGAIN. TAKING TO DEALER BUT I AM TRYING TO GET RID OF THIS CAR FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE YET. WHILE DRIVING CAR STARTED SPUTTERING IN TRAFFIC, I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TRY AGAIN TO MAKE IT HOME. ONCE I GOT THERE THE CAR REVS UP LIKE I AM PRESSING ON THE GAS SO I AM GETTING IT TOWED TO DEALER.

HEATER BLOWING COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT BLOWS VERY LITTLE HOT AIR ONLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE DEFROST DOES NOT WORK HARDLY AT ALL DUE TO THIS SITUATION. THIS ALL STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF TO 2 YEARS AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW. I FEEL LIKE IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN THE DEFROST IS NEEDED. I TOOK MY CAR TO A DODGE DEALER LAST WEEK AND PAID TO HAVE MY CAR FLUSHED IN HOPES OF MAKING THE HEATER WORK. THAT DIDN'T HELP SO THEY SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A NEW HEATER CORE. SO AFTER OWNING A BRAND NEW CAR FOR A YEAR AND A HALF TO 2 YEARS SHOULD NOT IN MY OPINION NEED A NEW HEATER CORE. I'VE BEEN READING A LOT OF REVIEWS ON THESE CARS AND I SEE WHERE LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME EXACT THING AS MYSELF. SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG WITH THE MAKING OF THIS PARTICULAR CAR.

CLICKING NOISE ON PASSENGER SIDE UPON STARTING CAR. PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS ONLY COLD AIR, BUT DRIVER SIDE BLOWS HEAR WITHOUT A PROBLEM

COLD AIR IS BLOWING OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE VENTS. DRIVER SIDE VENTS BLOW HOT AIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE BLEW HOT AIR WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE BLEW OUT COOL AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKE TO LUTHER BROOKDALE CHRYSLER (8188 BROOKLYN BLVD, BROOKLYN PARK, MN), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,021.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SAFETY HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING FULL SPEED DOWN THE INTERSTATE. APPROX. 75 MPH. THE SOUND WAS SO SUDDEN IT STARTLED ME AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK. NOW THE HEADREST WILL NOT "POP" BACK INTO POSITION AS DOCUMENTED BY DODGE LEAVING THE HEADREST FULLY DEPLOYED AND COMPLETELY USELESS. *TT *TR

HEATER CORE PROBLEM, NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE, CASING SAND CLOGGING THE RADIATOR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

AC/HEATER..WHILE USING THE HEATER THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR WHILE THE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS HOT

THE PASSENAGER HEAD RESTRAINT SYSTEM IS THROWING AN ERROR THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT. THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND CHRYSLER'S STAR TEAM (ENGINEERS) CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR FIVE WEEKS. IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE.

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE WHEN USING DEFROST, SO IN WINTER MONTHS, PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD REMAINS FOGGY.

PASSENGER SIDE AIR VENTS DO NOT BLOW HEAT WHILE DRIVER SIDE VENTS WILL BLOW HEAT. ALSO, WHILE THE HEAT MET IS ON AND DRIVING COMBINING TO A STOP THE HEATER MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND BUBBLING SOUND. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE TO FIX. THIS NEEDS TO GO ON REVIEW FOR A RECALL

AIRBAG IN SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR NO REASON.

I PURCHASED MY DODGE AVENGER BRAND NEW IN 2013. AFTER TWO YEARS OF HAVING MY CAR, MY CAR STARTED TO NOT WANT TO TURN ON. I WOULD CONTINUE TO TRY AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD WORK AND NOT OTHER TIMES. I WENT TO GET THE BATTERY CHECKED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE. I THEN WENT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I PROBABLY NEEDED TO GET A FUEL INJECTOR DONE SO I DID THIS AS WELL AND MY CAR STILL TIME TO TIME WILL NOT START. 2ND MY LEFT SIDE BODY PANEL ONE DAY JUST POPPED OUT OF PLACE AND WHEN I WOULD GO TO SHUT MY DOOR IT WOULD MAKE A CLICKING SOUND FROM ME TRYING TO SHUT IT. I WAS NOT IN A WRECK, THERE IS NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY MY PANEL POPPED OUT OF PLACE. 3. MY CAR IS NOW NOT BLOWING HEAT OUT (AND ITS WINTER RIGHT NOW) I ONLY NOTICED THIS ONCE IT BECAME COLD OUT AND NEEDED TO USE IT. FIRST COUPLE TIMES I TRIED RUNNING THE HEAT IT WOULD DO SO BUT ONLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS BLOWING OUT COLD AIR. I HAD A AUTO SHOP LOOK INTO THIS AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING EVEN WRONG WITH ANY OF IT. BUT THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC BEFOREHAND WHICH IS GOING TO COST ME $195 THEN I CAN GO FROM THERE.. I KEEP SEEING WHERE A LOT OF AVENGERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THERE HEATING SYSTEM.. COULD THIS BE ALL FROM A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH THE HEATER CORE??

BRAKE ENGAGES. ENGINE: NOT ACCELERATING, STRANGE SOUND. JUST PURSHACED THE CAR 1 MONTH AGO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS, SEATS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE.

THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION WHICH CAUSED VEHICLE TO STOP FUNCTIONING WHILE ON 70 MPH EXPRESSWAY. VEHICLE WAS MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND SHUTDOWN. WHEN RESTARTED IF FUNCTIONED NORMALLY BUT, THE DASHBOARD LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON. THE VEHICLE FAULT CODES INDICATED IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CHANGED AND CORRECTED THE ISSUE. I DISASSEMBLED THE OLD THROTTLE BODY AND FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE AN INTERNAL PLASTIC GEAR TOOTH FAILURE. THIS IS A NON-SERVICEABLE SAFETY RELATED PART AND IN MY OPINION SHOULD NOT FAIL AT LESS THAN 80K MILES. I ASKED FCA TO REIMBURSE THE COST OF THE PART AND THEY DECLINED THIS REQUEST.

THE CAR LOST POWER BUT AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PETAL THE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND I GOT POWER BACK TO THE CAR. TOOK IT TO GET THE COMPUTER ON BUT NO CODES CAME BACK. TONIGHT I WAS MERGING INTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN ETC THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CAR LOST POWER AND I COULDN'T GO FASTER THEN 50MPH. I GOT BACK TO THE HOUSE TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND NO LIGHTS ARE ON. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. IF THE LIGHTS AREN'T ON THE COMPUTER WON'T PICK UP ANY ERROR CODES. ALSO MY CAR ALREADY HAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. IS THIS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM?

I HAVE A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM MY GLOVE DEPARTMENT I TOOK IN TO A SHOP TO FIND OUT IT'S MY VENT ACTUATOR THIS PART ONLY COST ABOUT 30$ BUT THE LABOR IS WHAT'S COST THE MOST I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE GLOVE DEPARTMENT TO GET TO THE PART WHERE DOES THIS COME FROM AND WHY HAVEN'T THIS BEEN ON RECALL YET I'VE GOOGLED THIS SITUATION AND FOUND OUT THAT IT'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2011 IN DODGE CARS AND TRUCKS AND VANS SO I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM
