2012 DODGE AVENGER Visibilitywiper Problems

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 exits 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).

Window Defrost and Passenger Side Heat/Air. Either while 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 exits the driver's side windshield and driver's side dash vents. This results in the passenger side of the front windshield being fogged up and low visibility. 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). I've looked online and there are many reports of this problem, including Dealer Star Case - S1207000008, and multiple dialogs on various forums (like https://www.avengerforumz.com/threads/passenger-side-no-heat-from-vents.60250/). There's a picture showing the sludge within the heater core - I'll copy and include that picture below. This is completely a manufacturing...

It seems to be a common issue that I'm experiencing as well. When I turn the heat on it only blows hot on the driver side. So depending on the weather conditions, it may completely fog up the passenger side of my window. Making it dangerous for driving when you're trying to defrost a window with cold air.

My wipers stop in the middle of the windshield when it’s pouring outside. Now my horn won’t turn off! I was told that it’s the TIPM and it’s a known issue with my car.

"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 EXITS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER'S SIDE DASH VENTS. PROBLEM PERSISTS THROUGH ALL CABIN AIR MODES, AND CIRCULATIONS.

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE. AFFECTS DEFROSTING AND CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE.

HAD CAR WORKED ON ONCE AT DEALER FOR SAME ISSUE IN 2013. HOT AIR ON DRIVERS SIDE COLD AIR ON PASSENGER. 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 EXITS 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). THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW.

DRIVER SIDE VENT BLOWS HOT AIR WHEN HEAT IS ON, BUT CENTER AND PASSENGER SIDE BLOW COLD AIR. THIS CAUSES FOGGING OF THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH MEANS I CAN'T SEE OUT THE WINDOW. I'VE READ THIS IS COMMON WITH THE 2013-2013 AVENGER.

DRIVERS SIDE HEATER WORKS OKAY BUT THE PASSENGERS SIDE IS VERY COLD... I LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE AREA AND THE WINDOWS ARE ALWAYS FROZEN 😩 IT'S SO HARD TO KEEP THE CAR WHEN THIS DOESN'T WORK IT'S VERY UNSAFE

HEAT AND DEFROST FOR WINDSHIELD DOES NOT WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE. EVEN IF I SCRAPE THAT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD IT STILL FROST OVER AS I DRIVE CAUSING VISIBILITY TO BE DIFFICULT ON THAT SIDE. I'VE READ A LOT OF REVIEWS AND THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THE V6 VERSIONS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE A LONG WITH BEING A SAFETY CONCERN. BEING ABLE TO SAFELY SEE IS NOT ACCESSORY IT IS ESSENTIAL. SO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE ONLY LEADS BACK TO THE MANUFACTURE. HAS NOTING TO DO WITH VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

DEFROSTERS DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE DOESN'T WORK. I'VE HAD THE ACTUATOR REPLACED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY THERMOSTAT, AFTER I'VE GOTTEN THAT REPLACED I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY HEATER CORE! I CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR DURING RAINY DAYS BECAUSE DEFROSTERS DOESN'T WORK DUE TO NO HOT AIR.

WITH HEAT ON COLD AIR BLOWS ON PASSENGER SIDE NOT KEEPING THE WIDOW FROM FOGGING OVER

THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT WHILE THE DRIVERS SIDE STILL HAD HEAT. WE WERE DRIVING IN SNOW AND ICE AND HAD VERY LIMITED VISIBILITY OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL AS THE SIDE WINDOWS WHEN CHECKING FOR TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN DODGE AVENGERS. THE ACTUATOR WAS CHANGED WHICH DID NOT HELP. THE DRIVERS SIDE HEAT IS NOW VERY REDUCED WHICH IS CAUSING MORE VISIBILITY ISSUES IN DRIVING IN SNOW AND RAIN

THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF MY HEATER INCLUDING DEFROSTERS'S BLOWS COLD AIR. THE CAR ONLY HAS 50,500 MILES. THIS CAUSES THE PASSENGERS SIDE TO NOT PROPERLY DEFROST AND FOR ANY PASSENGER IN THE CAR TO BE COLD AS COLD AIR IS BLOWING AT THEIR FEET OR FACE DEPENDING ON WHERE THE CONTROL IS SET. THIS IS A CONTINUED ISSUE UNTIL I FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

CONTINUOUSLY NO HEAT FROM ANY OF PASSENGER VENTS, INCLUDING THE REAR VENT BELOW THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR PASSENGERS IN BACK SEAT & A STRONG SMELL OF ANTI-FREEZE WHEN THE HEAT IS TURNED ON TO THE POINT OF NAUSEA, X2 WINTERS NOW, EST. 62,000 MILES, MAY HAVE BEEN THAT WAY AT 50,000 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT, BUT DIDN'T NEED HEAT THAT TIME OF THE YEAR OF EARLY SPRING.

PASSENGER SIDE HAS ONLY COLD AIR BLOWING OUT OF THE DEFROSTER. DRIVER'S SIDE IS HOT AND WORKING PROPERLY. THIS CONDITION APPLIES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FULLY WARMED UP, DRIVING, ACCELERATING OR STATIONARY

THE VEHICLE BLOWS HOT AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, BUT COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. SINCE IT IS BLOWING ONLY COLD AIR ON ONE HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD THE WINDOWS ICE UP, FREEZE UP AND FOG UP. THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD, SINCE THIS IMPAIRS VISIBILTY.

THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER PUTS OUT COLD AIR EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WARMED UP AND DRIVEN FOR A WHILE. THIS OFTEN MAKES MY CAR DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT DEFROST OR DEFOG IN A TIMELY MANNER OR AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATING SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING AND AFFECTED HER ABILITY TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

NO HEAT TO DEFROST PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD MAKING DIFFICULT TO SEE ANYTHING COMING FROM THE RIGHT

PASSENGER SIDE VENTS ONLY BLOW COLD AIR. AFTER DRIVING FOR OVER AN HOUR, THE DRIVERS SIDE VENT WILL BE BLOWING WARM AIR WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE IS STILL BLOWING COLD AIR. UNABLE TO DEFROST WINDSHIELD AND WINDOWS CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES.

HEAT ONLY WORKS ON DRIVERS SIDE PART OF THE TIME. HAVE FOUND OUT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH THE HEATER CORE. WITH NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE I CAN NOT DRIVE MY CAR IN THE WINTER. I CAN NOT DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD DUE TO NO HEAT AND IF I AM DRIVING IN SNOW OR FREEZING WET TEMPERATURES MY WINDSHIELD W FREEZES UP. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM I HAVE HAD SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2018. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND FOUND OUT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH DODGE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC WHICH WOULD BE CHARGED TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. HAVE READ THAT MANY AVENGER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH NO REAL FIX BY DODGE. IT IS A HEATER CORE DEFECT. WHICH IS OVER...

PASSENGER SIDE HEATER/DEFROSTER INOPERATIVE (BLOWS COLD AIR) CAUSING POOR VISIBILTY IN INCLEMENT AND COLD WEATHER. BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE IN SEPT 2017 AND HAS CONTINUED SINCE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE DEFROST WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY FOR THE CENTER AND PASSENGER VENTS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MADDOX MOTOR COMPANY (LOCATED AT 564 GLOVER RD, SIDNEY, NE 69162, (308) 254-5577) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; BUT CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

KNOCKING COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE EVERY 20 MINUTES. HEATER NOT WORKING BLOWS OUT COLD AIR AND NOW THERE IS KNOCKING COMING FROM DRIVER SIDE AS WELL DEFROSTER DON'T WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE MAKES HARD TO SEE DURING RAINING AND FOGGY WEATHER

VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR AIRBAG RECALLS HOWEVER THE LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. NOT LONG AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE, I WOULD PUT USE THE TURN SIGNAL AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD COME ON, THEY STILL DO FROM TIME TO TIME. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. ALSO, FROM TIME TO TIME, THE AIR CONDITIONER BUTTON WILL NOT WORK. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO WORK IS TO RAPIDLY TURN THE KNOB FROM SIDE TO SIDE. IT HAS SOMETIMES TAKEN UP TO 5 MINUTES TO GET IT TO WORK.

AIR BAG LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF FOR DRIVERS HEAD REST AIR BAG WAS TAKEN IN FOR THAT RECALL NOW SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN ALSO HAVE THAT AWESOME DODGE DEFECT WERE THE HEATER BLOWS HOT ON DRIVERS SIDE AND ICE ICE COLD ON PASSENGER SIDE THESE ARE PRETTY MAJOR DEFECTS WITCH DODGE HAS KNOWN ABOUT AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

IN JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2018, MY 2012 AVENGER RT BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE INSUFFICIENT/NON-EXISTENT AIRFLOW AND LACK OF HEAT TO THE RIGHT-SIDE WINDOW DEFROSTERS AND ALL PASSENGER VENTS (EXCEPT THE FRONT-LEFT DRIVER VENTS), CREATING VISIBILITY HAZARDS AND AN UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING ENVIRONMENT FOR BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. DURING THE FOLLOWING 2018 SUMMER, THE AIR COOLING EFFECT AND WINDOW-DEFOGGING WAS ALSO DIMINISHED, ESPECIALLY FROM THE INEXPLICABLE REDUCED AIRFLOW COMING FROM PASSENGER VENTS. THE HEATER/DEFROSTER HAD MAJOR DIFFICULTY DEFROSTING THE WINDSHIELD AND RIGHT-SIDE FRONT WINDOW. IN EARLY 2019, I BROUGHT MY AVENGER TO A REPAIR SHOP RECOMMENDED BY SEVERAL FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES, AND THE SHOP RECOMMENDED A COOLANT SYSTEM FLUSH AND INSPECTED AIR BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS, BUT THOSE WERE FINE. THE ENGINE ALSO OCCASIONALLY RAN WARMER THAN USUAL, HOWEVER THAT MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO A STUCK THERMOSTAT WHICH WAS FOUND DURING THE SHOP'S DIAGNOSTICS AND WAS REPLACED. THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT THE COOLANT/RADIATOR/HEATER...

WHEN HEATER ACTIVATED, ONLY DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS HEAT WHILE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD. VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE DUAL AIR CONTROLS. CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WINDSHIELD ONLY DEFROSTS ONE SIDE AND OTHER SIDE FOGS UP.

AC STARTS TO ONLY BLOW COLD AIR ON ONE SIDE OF THE CAR, THEN NO HEAT AT ALL. DEFROST STOPS WORKING AT THIS POINT. VERY DANGEROUS WITH SNOW/ICY CONDITIONS WHERE WINDSHIELD FROSTS OVER. MAY BE THE DOOR ACTUATOR OR HEATER CORE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN THE HEAT/DEFROST IS ON. THIS CAUSES MY PASSENGER WINDOW TO NOT DEFROST. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER IF THE CAR IS AT IDLE OR WHILE DRIVING. THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL ONLY BLOW COLD AIR. THE DRIVER SIDE HEAT/DEFROST WORKS FINE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S ANYTHING FROM AN ACTUATOR TO THE HEATER CORE. I LIVE IN A STATE WHERE WE HAVE COLD WINTERS AND FREQUENT SNOW. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT IMPAIRS MY ABILITY TO SEE MY PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR, ETC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE HEATER WOULD NOT OPERATE AND THE WINDOWS COULD NOT BE DEFROSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO FLUSHED THE HEATER CORE, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. DURING THE FAILURE, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE AND ESP ACTIVATION MALFUNCTION INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000. *BF. CONSUMER STATED MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED ON THE SAME DAY. *JB

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A 2012 DODGE AVENGER R/T. LIKE MANY OTHER AVENGERS, THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING. I GET NOTHING BUT COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH, AND THIS IS A MANAFACTURER DEFECT THAT RESULTS FROM BAD CASTING THAT CAUSES METAL FLAKES TO BREAK OFF AND FILL UP THE HEATER CORE UNTIL IT BECOMES SO CLOGGED THAT IT STOPS WORKING PROPERLY. A SIMPLE FLUSH WILL NOT DO THE JOB, AND THE HEATER CORE MUST BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I HIGHLY BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, DUE TO THE FACT THAT VISIBILITY IS SEVERELY DECREASED IN WINTER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS NOT ONLY PUTS THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN DANGER, BUT OTHER VEHICES AND PEDESTRIANS AS WELL.

I HAVE A 2012 DODGE AVENGER V6 WITH ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE HEAT WORKING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS TO WHAT CAUSED IT THERE IS SAND PARTIALS IN THE COOLING SYSTEM FROM THE SAND FORGING OF THE MOTOR AND WHERE THERE WAS NOT PROPER FLUSHING OF THE COOLING SYSTEM BEFORE THE ASSEMBLY OF THE MOTOR. IT IS A CLOSED SYSTEM SO THERE IS NO WAY THAT SAND PARTIALS CAN ENTER THE SYSTEM AND CAUSE THAT ISSUE. DODGE BELIEVES THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE WITH IT AND IT IS A "CREATURE COMFORT", BUT WHEN IN FACE THE HEAT DEFROSTS THE WINDOWS TO ENABLE VISIBILITY. WITH NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SOME OF THE DRIVER SIDE IS UNABLE TO DEFOG, DEFROST, OR MELT ANY ICE OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THIS IS NOT A DRIVER ISSUE, THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE...

I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2012. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS WITH NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS CAUSES NO TO LITTLE VISIBILITY ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. I HAVE PAID TO HAVE SOME OF THE VENDOR DOORS REPLACED TO NO FIX TO THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VENTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE BLEW OUT COLD AIR WHEN THE HEAT WAS ACTIVATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FLUSHED THE RADIATOR, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNCERTAIN IF IT WOULD COVER THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

HEAT DOESN'T WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE.

MY 2012 DODGE AVENGER HAS HEATING ISSUE. HEAT COMES OUT OF THE VENT ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR BUT COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE LOOKED THE ISSUE UP AND ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THE ISSUE WITH 2012 AVENGER NOT BEING ADDRESSED. I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR IN UPSTATE NEW YORK IN THE WINTER BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. I CAMT SEE OUT ANY OF MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS OR RIGHT SIDE OF DASH BECAUSE IT ALL FOGGED UP AND FROSTED DUE TO NO HEAT IN THAT SIDE OF CAR.

PASSENGER SIDE HEATER/DEFROSTER VENTS BLOW COLD AIR, WHILE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS WARM AIR.

THERE IS NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE, INCLUDING DEFROST. I LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE AND NOT HAVING DEFROST TO CLEAR MY WINDSHIELD IS HAZARDOUS. I WAS QUOTED OVER 1200$ TO FIX THIS AND TOLD IT IS A REGULAR ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. THE HEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED SINCE THE LACK OF HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE.PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING PROBLEM

WHEN USING HEAT/DEFROST COLD AIR BLOWS FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS. THIS CAUSES PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD TO FOG OVER WHEN ITS COLD OUTSIDE. ALSO, THE COLD AIR BEING BLOWN FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS WILL NOT MELT/DEFROST ICE AND SNOW ON PASSENGER SIDE IF WINDOWS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR, BUT DIDGE WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE ISSUE AFTER WARRANTY IS EXPIRED.

THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE HEATING SYSTEM THAT AIDS IN KEEPING WINDOWS DEFROSTED. EVERY VENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY BLOWS OUT COLD AIR, WHILE THE DRIVERS SIDE IS WARM. THE WINDSHIELD & ALL WINDOWS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT DEFROST CAUSE EXTREME VISIBILITY ISSUES.

THE HEAT HAS STOPPED WORKING ON THE PASSANGER SIDE MAKING THE DEFROSTER NOT TO WORK. THOS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO ADDRESSED.

HEATER AND DEFROST DO NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, LEAVING HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP. THIS CAUSES BAD VISIBILITY ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE (DODGE AVENGER)

THIS ISSUE IS A DEFECTIVE HEATER CORE. CASTING AND METAL SHAVINGS CLOG HEATER CORE TO WHERE YOUR CAR CANNOT HEAT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF YOUR CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE CAR NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO DEFROST FRONT AND BACK WIND SHIELDS DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE PROBLEM ARISES WITH HOW TO THE HEATER SITS BEHIND THE DASH. IT CAUSES THIS ISSUE TO REPEAT EVEN IF HEATER CORE IS REPLACED. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS A $1,000 PLUS REPAIR THAT WILL REPEATEDLY OCCUR NEARLY EVERY YEAR OR SO.

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 EXITS 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)

HEATER CORE ISSUES FROM FACTORY FAIL BECAUSE OF SAND BUILT UP IN HEATER CORE SO NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE AND CAUSES WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP IMPAIRING VISSION
