Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL THE DODGE AVENGER 2012 HAS MESSED UP HEATING SYSTEMS. THE LEFT DRIVERS SIDE IS HOT, THEN AS YOU GO TO THE PASSENGER SIDE IT IS ICE COLD. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAYS THE COLD DOESNT GO AWAY. IT STAYS COLD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THE WHOLE TIME. THE HOTTEST ONE IS LEFT OF THE WHEEL. THEN RIGHT OF THE WHEEL IS LUKEWARM. THEN PASSENGERS LEFT HEATER IS COLD AND PASSENGERS RIGHT HEATER IS FREEZING. DURING THE WINTER IT GETS TO BE -20 OUTSIDE. THERE IS NO WAY I AM ABLE TO DRIVE IN THAT SINCE MY CAR WONT HEAT UP CORRECTLY. NO AUTO SHOP IS ABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL SO WE ARE ABLE TO DRIVE IN COLD WEATHER AND HAVE OUR HEAT ON. PLEASE STABILIZE THE HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM TO WHERE IT IS ALL EVEN FOR EVERY HEATER.
