2012 DODGE AVENGER Unknown Or Other Problems

ACTUATOR TICKING NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE

HEATER CORE ISSUES LEAD TO INABILITY TO DEFROST WINDOWS AND EXCESS FOG IN THE CABIN.

THE HEAT IN MY VEHICLE WORKS ONLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE MIDDLE AND PASSENGER SIDE VENTS BLOW OUT COOL OR COLD AIR WHEN THE HEAT IS ON. THE HEAT ONLY WORKS WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE REPLACED TUBING AND BOTH THERMOSTATS AND THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED.

MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER RT HAS NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. NOT ONLY IS THIS UNCOMFORTABLE, IT IS ALSO UNSAFE AS THIS LEADS TO THE WINDSHIELD NOT BEING ABLE TO BE DEFROSTED. MANY SITES I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. DODGE NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS AND FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD.

MY 2012 AVENGER RT IS AT 72600 MILES. BEFORE LAST WINTER WHEN I WAS AT ABOUT 60K MILES ESTIMATED, MY PASSENGER SIDE HEAT STOPPED WORKING. ONLY COLD AIR WILL BLOW FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MAKE/MODEL BUT YET IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THE EXPENSE I HAVE SEEN IS BETWEEN $1000 TO $3000 DOLLARS WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE. FIRST DODGE I HAVE OWNED AND WILL PROBABLY BE MY LAST AS WELL. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE ISSUE WAS WHEN WINTER FIRST CAME AND WE COULDN'T TAKE MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS TOO COLD FOR MY GIRLFRIEND TO RIDE IN.

THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE HEATING SYSTEM MALFFUNCTION, SO THE PASSAENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST AND IT CAUSES A SERIOUS VISIBILITY/SAFETY HAZARD DURING THE COLD SEASON, THE WINDSHIELD REMAINS FOGGED UP WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TO PULL UP SEVERAL TIMES ON THE FREEWAY TO MANUALLY SCRAPE FROST OFF THE OUTSIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AND MANUALLY WIPE THE MOISTURE OFF THE INTERIOR. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM CAUSED DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING PROCESS WHICH LEFT END PRODUCTS THAT RAPIDLY CLOGS AND DESTROYS THE HEATING SYSTEM. DEALERS WHO WERE CONFRONTED WITH COMPLAINS ADMITS TO THIS. DODGE AVENGER 2012 OWNERS COMPLAINED THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE HEATER CORES AND RADIATORS, SOME AS EARLY AS 12000 MILES AND THE COST RUNS FROM $1200 TO $3000. THE PROBLEM OFTEN REOCCURS WITHIN MONTHS BECAUSE EITHER THE DEALER USES THE SAME FAULTY PARTS OR THERE IS REMAINING RESIDUE IN THE SYSTEM. DRIVING IN...

THE HVAC SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. WHEN THE HEAT IT TURNED ON, IT WILL BLOW HEAT OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE BUT NOT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE AIR FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE IS COOL AIR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO RESEARCH I'VE DONE ON THE WEB, AND MOST PEOPLE SEEM TO THING THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT THAT SHOULD REQUIRE A RECALL.

HEATER ON PASSENGER SIDE STARTED BLOWING COLD AIR WHILE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS WARM

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEATER DOES NOT BLOW HOT AIR. HALF OF THE CAR IS COVERED IN FROST/CONDENSATION MAKING VISIBILITY ALMOST NON EXISTENT. IN HUMID OR COLD CLIMATES, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT DEFROST/DEFOG AT ANY POINT, MAKING DRIVING THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS. COSTS TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE COST ALMOST $3000 DOLLARS AND IS CAUSED BY A DEFECT WHEN MANUFACTURING THE VEHICLE. DODGE INTENTIONALLY ALLOWS THIS PRODUCT ON THE MARKET WITHOUT CLEANING THE METAL SAND FROM THE HEATING SYSTEM DURING PRODUCTION, KNOWING THAT THIS WILL BE AN ISSUE DOWN THE ROAD AFTER THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.

HEATER AND DEFROSTER FAILED ON PASSENGER SIDE. WINDSHIELD WILL NOT DEFROST CREATING LOSS OF VISION ON HALF OF WINDSHIELD AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS. THIS OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

HEATER CORE LEAKING ABOVE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT'S GOING TO NEED TO BE REPLACED SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE WONT START AT TIMES HAS A RED LIGHTNING BOLT ALL GAUGES WORK JUST WONT START UNTIL JUMPED. ALSO WHEN USING THE HEATER HEAT ON DRIVERS SIDE AND COLD ON PASSENGERS SIDE.ONE IS THE ANTI THEFT WCM AND THE OTHER IS A HEATERCORE THAT DODGE HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE 1999 MODELS

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR HAD BEEN HAVING THIS KNOCKING SOUND, AND THEN DEVELOPED THIS SOUND LIKE SOMETHING WAS STRETCHING INSIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE BATTER LIGHT CAM ON BUT THE CAR WAS OK. THE NEXT DAY IT CAME BACK ON THE AIR CONDITIONING CAME ON THEM WENT OFF ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS ON THE DASH KEPT COMING ON AND OFF. K STOPPED AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT, AND IT WOULD NOT START ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WERE ON THE FRITZ AND RESET. WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD IT WOULD NOT LET ME GO ABOVE 40 MPH AND THE RPM WENT UP TO LIKE 4.

PASSENGER SIDE HEAT BLOWS COLD AIR OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. THE BATTERY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED DURING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,656. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

IVE BEEN READING ONLINE THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE I HAVE WITH MY CAR. WHEN YOU TURN THE HEATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR BLOWS OUT COLD AIR. IF I WANT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR TO DEFROST I HAVE TO MANUALLY GET OUT OF MY CAR AND SCRAPE IT AND EVEN THEN THE INSIDE STILL IS HARD TO SEE OUT OF. I CANT EVEN BRING MY DAUGHTER IN THIS CAR BECAUSE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR SEEMS LIKE IT IS RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONING IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. THERE IS ALSO SOMETIMES WAS A CLICKING NOISE UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH WHICH IS THE ACTUATOR. AFTER REPLACING THIS IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I HEAR THAT IT COSTS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX AND I BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD RESOLVE IT.

CLIMATE CONTROL BLOWS COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND WARM AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEN HEAT IS ON AND DRIVING. ENGINE TEMPERATURE DOES NOT REACH NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE WHEN DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER. TOOK TO MY LOCAL TRUSTED MECHANIC AND HE DIAGNOSED THE HEATER CORE IS PLUGGED WITH DEBRIS. LOOKED ONLINE AND THE DODGE AVENGER HAVE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THAT SAME ISSUE. CALLED CHRYSLER GROUP AND MADE A COMPLAINT AND GOT A CASE NUMBER. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT LATER THIS WEEK TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED BY A DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECORD.

THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR IS BLOWING OUT COLD AIR EVEN THOUGH THE HEAT IS TURNED ON ALL THE WAY. ALSO WHILE I'M DRIVING MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE RISES IF I DON'T HAVE THE HEAT ON. THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR ALL DODGE AVENGER OWNERS AND THIS ISSUE REALLY NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED

I TOOK MY CAR TO NTB THEY STATED THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND I GOT ONLINE TO CHECK FOR RECALLS AND IT SAIS 0 DETECTED BUT I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE REASSURED. THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2015 AND I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

THE HEATER CORE HAS FAILED CAUSING ONLY MILD HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE ONLY COLD AIR WILL BLOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WITH THIS FAILURE FROM BAD CASTING SAND REMOVAL UPON MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE IT HAS CAUSED THE THERMOSTAT TO FAIL CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO RUN FAR BELOW OPERATING TEMP. SINCE THE CABIN SPACE CANNOT RECEIVE FULL HEAT IT MAKES FOR DANGEROUS OPERATING CONDITIONS IN COLD CLIMATES AS I CANNOT DEFROST THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS HAS MADE OPERATING THE VEHICLE DURING WINTER DANGEROUS AS I CANNOT SEE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PROVIDE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT NO MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT. WHILE IN MOTION THE VEHICLE WILL NEVER GET TO OPERATING TEMP NOR WILL THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROST.

I HAVE NOW LOST THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR 3 TIMES. FIRST TIME THEY DID JUST A FLUSH, NEXT TIME REPLACED THE HEATER CORE, AND NOW IT'S GONE AGAIN. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HAPPENS DURING THE WINTER! IT'S A COMPLETE VISIBILITY CONCERN! NOT TO MENTION A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT SOMETHING IN THE MANUFACTORING IS CAUSING.

PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN HEAT IS ON.

HEAT VENTS ON PASSENGER SIDE BLOWING COLD AIR

STARTING LAST WINTER,2016, HEATER BEGAN TO BLOW COLD AIR MORE SO ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS WINTER TOOK TO VERY GOOD MECHANIC WHO FLUSHED SYSTEM ,CHECKED ACTUATOR DOORS AND ELECTRICAL.HE SAID HOW HEATER CORE WAS MOUNTED CAUSES RESIDUE,THAT CAN'T BE FLUSHED OUT,AND WAS CAUSING LACK OF HEAT TO MOST OF CABIN.ALSO THERE IS LITTLE OR NO DEFROST WHICH IS SO VERY DANGEROUS.MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED HEATER CORE TO FIND THR SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. HOPE THERE IS HELP.

HEATER CORE DEFECT. THE HEATER ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR ON PASSENGER, SMI-WARM AIR ON DRIVER. EVEN ON HIGH HEAT.

HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AT ALL TIMES, AND HAS WEAK HEAT ON DRIVERS SIDE AS WELL WHICH CAUSES WINDOWS TO FOG UP AND NOT BE ABLE TO BE DEFROSTED LIMITING VISIBILITY GREATLY. IT ALSO IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE BEING IN THE CAR WITHOUT A PROPERLY WORKING HEATER.

I HAVE A 2012 DODGE AVENGER WITH APPROXIMATELY 60K MILES. THE HEAT DID NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE HEATER CORE. THE ONLY SIGN WAS NO HEAT, NO LEAKS OR SMELLS. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY WAS CONTACTED BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT A COVERED REPAIR, IT WAS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. I ONLY TAKE MY CAR TO THE SAME DODGE DEALER FOR ALL REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE SERVICES, RECALLS, ETC.. I PAID TO HAVE IT FLUSHED, BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK, SO I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND PAID $1100. I'VE READ THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DODGE AVENGER OWNERS. I CONTACTED DODGE SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME I'M PLACED ON HOLD FOR HOURS AND ONCE I GET THROUGH, THEY RUSHED ME OFF THE PHONE. HOW COULD OVER 100 OTHER DODGE AVENGER...

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 EXIT 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).

HEAT NO LONGER BLOWING OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. UPON LOOKING ONLINE, THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WITH A CLOGGING HEATER CORE, AND RADIATOR. THIS IS DUE TO THE WAY THE RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE WERE MADE. DODGE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WILL DO NOTHING TO ADDRESS IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE AIR CONDITIONER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY BLEW OUT COLD AIR. THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

EVERY TIME I START THE CAR IT MAKES A TICKING NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS, IT THEN STOPS. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT BLOWING OUT HEAT RATHER COLD AIR.

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2016. SINCE I GOT IT THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TURN ON THE HEAT OR AC. IT STOPS AFTER ABOUT MAX 30 SECONDS. THIS WINTER THOUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE NOW ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR OUT OF EVERY SETTING YOU CAN USE. THE DRIVER SIDE IS HOT AIR. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT FOR MANY PEOPLE. MY CAR WILL NOT GET WARM AT ALL DUE TO HALF OF THE CAR BLOWING COLD AIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEFROST SYSTEM BECAME INOPERABLE WHILE DEFROSTING THE WINDOWS IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. *TT THE CONSUMER STATED DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PROBLEM AND INSTALLED A NEW HEATER CORE. *TR

HEAT DOES NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. MECHANIC HAS CHECKED IT AND I RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE OF $1,000 TO $1,200. MECHANIC STATED HE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM IN SEVERAL OTHER DODGE AVENGERS.

TAKATA RECALL. BEGINNING LAST WINTER THE HEAT WAS ONLY COMING OUT ON DRIVER SIDE.THIS WINTER IT WAS NOTABLY WORSE. MY MECHANIC CHECKED AND TRIED FROM ACTUATOR AND ELECTRICAL BUT SAID HOW THE HEATER CORE IS SITUATED THAT WAS THE CAUSE FOR HEAT LOSS . HE FLUSHED AND CLEANED AS BEST HE COULD AND SAID IT NEEDED A NEW HEATER CORE . IT IS VERY HARD TO KEEP WINDSHIELD DEFROSTED LET ALINE BE WARM . HE RECOMMENDED CONTACTING DODGE.AT FAST SPEEDS THE HEAT IS VERY SPARSE AND IF CAR IS WARMED UP IT IS HARDLY ANY BETTER. I CAN SEND A COPY OF MECHANIC'S BILL IF REQUESTED

I GOT A 2012 DODGE AVENGER AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS FREEZING COLD AIR AND THE DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS HOT. THERE ARE LOTS OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND HISTORICAL DATA ON THIS ISSUE; AND THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE IS MANUFACTURE DEFECT.

WITH THE VEHICLE WARMED UP I GET HEAT BLOWING OUT OF THE VENTS, WHETHER IT'S THE CABIN, FLOOR OR DEFROST FOR MAYBE 10 SECONDS, THEN IT TURNS TO COMPLETELY COLD ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE

THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN THE HEAT IS ON. DRIVERS SIDE WORKS AS IT SHOULD ON ALL SETTINGS BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD. IT IS NOT A DUAL CLIMATE SYSTEM AND EVERY COMPONENT IS WORKING CORRECTLY. (THERMOSTAT, RADIATOR, HEATER CORE, ETC.) I HAVE RESEARCHED EVERYWHERE FOR A FIX AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND CORRECTED!

THE CAR DOES NOT HEAT OR DEFROST WINDSHIELD PROPERLY. WHEN DRIVING IN INCLEMENT CONDITIONS (WE LIVE IN MICHIGAN) VISIBILITY IS LIMITED AND PASSENGERS ARE COLD. FROM ALL THAT I HAVE READ ONLINE AND THE DIAGNOSIS THAT I RECEIVED A MANUFACTURER DEFECT MAKES THE HEATER CORE BECOME PLUGGED NOT ALLOWING HOT AIR TO FLOW PROPERLY. HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE YET BUT CONCERNED IT MAY BE. ONLY REPORTING THIS DUE TO THE NUMBER OF OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE.

1 YEAR AGO PASSENGER SIDE BEGAN BLOWING COOL AIR, NOW ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. DRIVERS SIDE USED TO BLOW HOT AIR, NOW ONLY BLOWS WARM AIR. DEFROST IS ONLY WARM ON DRIVERS SIDE. ACTUATOR DOORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, STILL DOESN'T WORK. ESTIMATED PRICE TO REPAIR >$1200 DUE TO THE HEATER CORE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED.

NO HEAT WHATSOEVER. CHANGED TWO BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS THAT COST ME OVER 100 DOLLARS. STILL NO HEAT. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER DODGE AVENGER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM AND DODGE REFUSES TO CREATE A RECALL FOR IT. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO DODGE AND THEY CONTINUE TO DENY IT IS A PROBLEM ON THEIR SIDE WHEN IT CLEARLY IS. IT WOULD COST ME >1000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE A HEATER CORE OR ANYTHING HEAT RELATED UNDER THE HOOD.

CAR BLOWING COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. TOOK TO DODGE DEALER. WAS TOLD THE HEATER CORE WAS BLOCKED, I NEEDED A NEW HEATER CORE AND FLUSHING WOULD NOT HELP. WAS TOLD NOTHING I DID WRONG NOR COULD I HAVE PREVENTED IT. ONLY TAKE MY VEHICLE TO DODGE DEALERS FOR ALL WORK. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT WAS NOT COVERED. WAS TOLD IT WAS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. CHRYSLER REQUIRES FLUSHING AT 104,000 MILE, I HAVE 67K MILES. I HAD THE WORK DONE. PAID $1075.00. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, FOUND OUT THAT THE HEATER CORE IN THE DODGE AVENGERS GOES BACK REGULARLY. MANY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CONTACTED CHRYSLER, SAID I WAS OVER MY CHRYSLER WARRANTY. NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

THE HEATING IN MY CAR ONLY WORKS ON THE DRIVE SIDE. ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN THE HEAT IS ON.

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE. BLOWS ONLY COLD AIR. DID RESEARCH AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE SAME MAKE,MODEL AND YEAR ON THIS CAR. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT OTHERS HAD BOTH CARS OF SAME TO THEM WITH SAME ISSUES. ALSO MECHANIC SAID IT WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY MANUFACTURER. I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW ZERO MILES FROM DEALER IN 2012. THE HEAT WORKED FINE UNTIL LAST WINTER.

WHEN STARTING UP THE DEFROSTER OR THE HEATER ON THE CAR, THERE IS COLD AIR BLOWING ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AND WARM AIR BLOWING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE ACTUATOR OR ANOTHER ISSUE. I CALLED CHRYSLER A FEW YEARS AGO TO REPORT THIS AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE OCTOBER 22, 2014. AFTER A WEEK WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING THE HEAT DID NOT WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE. HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IT. TOOK IT BACK IN, SERVICE PARTS TOLD ME IT WASN'T COVERED -- MANUFACTURER DEFECT. TOOK THE CAR IN TO THOMAS DODGE THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR AND THE HEATER CORE WAS CLOGGED -- COST TO REPAIR $1900. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 60,000 MI. I'VE PUT @20,000 MILES ON IT IN 3 YEARS. AND BOUGHT A SERVICE CONTRACT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN PROBLEM -- I'M JUST STUMPED. I NEED SOMETHING RELIABLE.

FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS, I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE HEATER ONLY BLOWING WARM AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A LITTLE UNBEARABLE IN THE WINTER TIME. TO OFFSET THE COLDNESS I BASICALLY HAVE TO WARM MY CAR UP FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS CLOSED TO DRIVE WITH A COMFORTABLE OR REASONABLE TEMPERATURE. UPON LIFTING THE FRONT HOOD TO CHECK MY ANTIFREEZE LEVEL, I NOTICED MY OVERFLOW TANK HAS ABOUT 1 INCH OF BROWN SLUDGE AT THE BOTTOM. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE TO 5 DIFFERENT MECHANICS, THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IS THIS IS A HEATING CORE PROBLEM THAT IS APPARENTLY A WELL-KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH THE DODGE AVENGER. TO NOT RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM AS A SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED VIA A RECALL IS VERY DISTURBING. THE COST OF HAVING THIS REPAIRED IS SOMEWHERE...

VICHLE HEATER CORE LEAKING IN 2012 DODGE AVENGER. CAR RUNS GOT AND A/C NOT WORKING.

1ST COMPLAINT IS THE SEATBELT WILL RANDOMLY LOCK AND RESTRAIN YOU AND AND TAKE SEVERAL SECONDS TO RELEASE. 2ND COMPLAINT IS MY DRIVER SIDE FLOOR IS CONSTANTLY DRENCHED WITH A FLUID WHEN IT RAINS. 3RD COMPLAINT IS THE CAR SHUDDERS AND VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 40MPH. 4TH COMPLAINT I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND MY AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

TAKATA RECALL- I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS CURRENTLY ON RECALL, I CAN NOT SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE SO IT HAS BEEN MOSTLY SITTING SINCE OCTOBER WHEN I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT MANY TIMES WITH THE PERSON WHO IS SUPPOSED TO HELP AND RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I WILL BE AWARDED $40.00 A DAY FOR A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED AND I CAN HAVE MY CAR FIXED. HOWEVER I CAN NOT GET AN APPROPRIATE VEHICLE FOR $40.00 A DAY. PLUS I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY THE MONEY UPFRONT TO GET A RENTAL VEHICLE. IT WOULD BE MUCH CHEAPER TO JUST HAVE YOU GUYS PAY IT OFF. MY CAR WOULD OF ALREADY BEEN PAID OFF IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE DONE SO IN THE BEGINING. I AM WRITE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE CAR IS NOW HAVING...
