Consumer Description
IT STARTED ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO, MY HEAT IN MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER STARTED TO NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD IT FLUSHED 4 TIMES AND THAT NEVER HELPED. I HAVE HAD THE BLENDOR ACTUARTOR REPLACED TWICE AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO REPLACEDBOTH THERMOSTATS REPLACED TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A MYSTERY TO THE THREE MECANICS/DEALERSHIPS THAT I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO FOR REPAIR ON WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I HAVE LOOKED UP MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AND EVERYTHING SHOWS THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT/ISSUE WHICH IS THE SAND/SLUDGE IN THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR. I AM A SINGLE MOM OF 2 CHILDREN AND I DON'T NEED TO BE DRIVING IN A CAR WITH NO HEAT WHEN IT IS 0 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO THIS CAR. WITH THIS CAR ONLY BEING 6 YEARS OLD, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES. THIS IS NOT A CUSTOMER DEFECT THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I NEED DODGE/CHRYSLER TO RESPOND AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE AS LIKE I SAID BEFORE HAVE PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE (100'S AND 1,000'S OF DOLLARS) I BOUGHT MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER BRAND NEW, IT ONLY HAD 4 MILES ON IT WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, IT WASN'T EVEN PAID OFF WHEN I STARTED HAVING THE ISSUES.
