2013 DODGE AVENGER Engine Problems

ENGINE HAS COMPLETELY STALLED AT LOW SPEEDS WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS OR WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. CAR WILL NOT RESTART BUT IF IT SITS FOR AN HOUR OR SO IT STARTS BACK UP. NO CODES PRESENT.

THE HEAT ONLY WORKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE THE VENTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STILL BLOW AIR BUT IT IS ICE COLD WHETHER THE CAR IS PARKED OR IN MOTION THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT BLOW OUT WARM AIR THIS IS AN ISSUES THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

WHEN HEAT IS ON, THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COLD (I LIVE IN WI SO, WHEN I SAY COLD, I MEAN COLD) AIR FROM EVERY BLOWING PORT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE... OCCURS AT ALL TIMES, WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. HAVE TRIED A FEW THINGS RECCOMENDED ON MULTIPLE OTHER PAGES BY PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. NO HELP. THE DRIVER SIDE VENTS DO BLOW WARM AIR BUT, NOT CLOSE TO AS HOT AS IT SHOULD BE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE RIGHT AROUND 118,000 MILES. I START MY CAR 20 MINUTES BEFORE I LEAVE MY HOUSE AT 5AM TO BRING MY YOUNG CHILDREN TO DAYCARE AND BE TO WORK BY 6. WHEN GETTING IN AFTER BEING STARTED FOR 20 MIN... BARELY ANY DIFFERENCE IN TEMP WHICH, IS FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU DRIVE WITH YOUR BABIES 35 MINUTES IN THE COLD COLD COLD ALONG WITH SEVERAL DEER AND A WINDSHIELD...

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE AVENGER AND THE HORN GOES OFF BY ITSELF FROM 3 SECONDS TO 3 MINUTES CONSTANTLY. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR IT CUTS OFF. MY CAR HAS ONLY 85000 MILES AND I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS VEHICLE AROUND THAT MILEAGE.

FOR THE PAST YEAR, MY CAR RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON FOR WHEN IT STALLS, SO I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. NO LIGHTS EVER APPEAR ON THE DASH. AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW MINUTES, MY CAR USUALLY STARTS BACK UP AGAIN. IN ADDITION TO THE ENGINE STALLING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STUTTER AND THE CAR HORN RANDOMLY SOUNDS FROM ANYWHERE BETWEEN A SECOND TO A FULL MINUTE. I'M NOT SURE IF THE TWO ISSUES ARE RELATED AT ALL, BUT I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND GOTTEN VARIOUS PARTS REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE TWO RECALLS FOR 2013 DODGE AVENGERS FOR AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE STALLING, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY 2013 DODGE AVENGER IS NOT INCLUDED--EVEN THOUGH...

THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE AT TIMES AND ALSO WINTER IS COMING AND I NEED T KEEP MY CHILD AND I WARM. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES BY DODGE AVENGER OWNERS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR DODGE TO RECALL THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT??? IALSO PAID $1500 TO HAVE MY TIPM FIXED IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE HORN WAS HONKING AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY AND NIGHT AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT.

THE HEAD GASKET FAILED AND WAS REPLACED DESPITE PROTESTATIONS FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I LEARNED THE HEAD GASKET HAD A DESIGN FLAW CAUSING IT TO FAIL PREMATURELY.

A QUICK SEARCH IN THE INTER SHOWS THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS IN THIS YEAR AVENGER. IT IS THE WAY THE ENGINE WAS PRODUCED THAT YEAR.
