Consumer Description
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.
