2013 DODGE AVENGER Complaints

DRIVER HEADREST DEPLOYED WHEN NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE NECK IS STARTING TO HURT WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE THE HEADREST IS FORWARD BUT 50%. THIS HAPPENED 1 MONTH AGO, 10/01/2020. VEHICLE WAS PARKED, NOT OCCUPIED.

MY VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY STOLEN AND THE COLOR OF MY VEHICLE WAS VERY RARE LIGHT BLUE AND RECENTLY I HAVE COME ACROSS A VEHICLE THAT'S FOR SALE EVEN THOUGH IT DOES HAVE A DIFFERENT VIN NUMBER IN DIFFERENT MILEAGE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SAME VEHICLE COLOR BEEN IN MY AREA FOR SALE END IT WAS STOLEN OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AFTER IT WAS RETURNED BACK FROM A CAR SHOP I KNOW THE RUSSIANS ARE PRETTY LEGIT AND STEALING VEHICLES IN OUR AREA AND PUTTING THEM AND DOING DIFFERENT THINGS I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY MY VEHICLETHEY HAVE BEEN SWITCHED UP AND IF THERE'S ANYWAY THAT I CAN LOOK AT IT

VENT DOORS KEEP FAILING, DRIVER SIDE VENT GETS HOT WHILE ONE OF THE VENTS IN THE MIDDLE IS WARM AND THE OTHER IS COOL. PASSANGER SIDE IS COLD AS CAN BE. THIS IS WHILE USING THE HEATER. I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE ONLINE TALK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO SEEN REPORTS ON NHTSA ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES. I ALSO HAVE REPLACED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES.

I WAS VACUUMING CAR AT CAR WASH WITH VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND PARKED, I MOVED SEAT FORWARD AND THE HEADREST ON SEAT POPPED OPENED ON IT'S OWN AND WILL NOT CLOSE

THE HEAD REST POPPED APART WHILE CAR PARKED, WITH ALL THE INTERIOR MECHANICAL PARTS EXPOSES.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE ON 10/07/2020 AROUND THE CORNER OF MY HOUSE THE HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NO ACCIDENT, NO SUDDEN STOPS THE HEADREST JUST DEPLOYED. I DID CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON IT BUT NOT RECALLS. I DID FIND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AND HAD TAKEN THERE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE ABOUT REPAIRS. EVERYONE WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS AND THEY COULD FIX IT OR REPLACE THE HEADREST, BUT IT WOULD BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE TO THE CUSTOMER. I FEEL THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN INVESTIGATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT HERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE CASE REGARDING THE SAME SITUATION. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN INVESTIGATION STARTED SO THAT IT CAN BE DETERMINED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND ISSUE A RECALL SO THAT WE CAN GET THIS FIXED WITHOUT COST. THIS IS A DANGER TO SOMEONE DRIVING AND THE FACT THAT IT HAS ALREADY DEPLOYED IF ANY OF THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ARE IN AN ACCIDENT THEY HAVE NO MEANS OF PROTECTION SINCE THE HEADREST HAS ALREADY DEPLOYED.

THE DAY I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, IT WAS BLOWING WARM AIR ON DRIFTS SIDE, COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT. THIS WAS DECEMBER 6TH 2017. WHEN APRIL CAME AROUND AND TRIED TO RUN THE AC INSTEAD OF HEAT, THE ACTUATORS KEEP CLICKING. DOES THIS WHETHER OR NOT THE CAR IS RUNNING. CHANGED ALL 3. VERY SHORT TERM FIX. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT ISSUE AND APPARENTLY IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH MOST DODGE VEHICLES! THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. HERE WE ARE OCTOBER 2020. STILL AN ISSUE. NOW THE INSIDE DOOR IS COMPLETELY STUCK. WILL NOT SWITCH DOOR OFF OF THE DEFROSTER. CANNOT AFFORD TO CONTINUALLY TAKE THIS BACK TO THE DEALER EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT'S DUE TO FAULTY\CHEAP PARTS.

THE PASSENGER HEAD REST DEPLOYED OR OPENED HITTING THE BACK OF MY PASSENGER AS I WAS DRIVING. MY PASSENGER WAS IN PAIN FOR A FEW DAYS. THE SEAT HEAD REST NOW SITS OUT OF PLACE AND IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AS YOU ARE SITTING FORWARD. I TRIED TO CHECK ON THE AMOUNT TO FIX AND IT IS OVER $1000 TO FIX.

MY SON BOUGHT A 2013 DODGE AVENGER AND WHILE HE WAS DRIVING THE PASSENGER HEADREST EXPLODED! THIS IS DANGEROUS! I AS A PARENT AM AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN ON THE DRIVER SIDE WHILE MY SON IS DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT! I TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THEY ARE TRYING TO SAY IT'S NOT A RECALL YET AND IT WOULD BE 800+ TO FIX! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I FEEL IS A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTIONING PART THAT NEEDS FIXED ON DODGE OR CHRYSLER'S END!!!!

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING STEERING LOCKS BRAKES LOCK THIS VEHICLE HAS 5 RECALLS BUT VIN ONLY REPORTS TWO RECALLS THIS IS DANGEROUS I DRIVE HIGHWAY TO AND FROM WORK PLEASE HELP
