2012 DODGE AVENGER Complaints

YES I WAS ON I 85 CONNECTOR IN CHARLOTTE NC ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY CAR STARTED RUNNING HOT HAD TO GET IT TOWED, MISS TIME FROM WORK HAD TO CATCH UBER TWO DAYS WHICH COST OVER 40 BUCKS, COME TO FIND OUT THEY SAY IT WAS MY EMISSION SYSTEM TO CAUSE MY CAR TO RUN HOT, NOW I HAVE TO MISS MORE TIME FROM WORK TO TAKE IT TO GET REPAIRED, THE EMISSION SYSTEM HAS A RECALL ON IT.

PASSENGER SIDE HEAT NOT WORKING. ONLY BLOWING OUT COLD AIR. EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS WARMED UP

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

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.

THE DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR WHEN I SET THE KNOB ON HOT BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR AND WON'T HEAT UP. ITS TERRIBLE FOR IN THE WINTER ONLY HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD GETS UNLOGGED AND THE OTHER HALF I CAN'T SEE OUT OF. IVE READ SOMEWHERE THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE CAR SOMEWHERE AND DODGE SHOULD HAVE TO COVER THE COSTS FOR FIXING THEM.

HEAT BLOWS OUT DRIVERS SIDE VENT. BUT BLOWS COLD OUT PASSENGER SIDE VENT. HAVE CHANGED THERMOSTAT AND ACTUATOR DOORS. HAVE FLUSHED SYSTEM SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL NO CHANGE. GARAGE ESTIMATED ME 1400 TO CHANGE OUT RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE BUT NOT GUARANTEED THIS WILL HELP MATTER. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2012 DODGE RAM.

I HAVE NO HEAT COMING FROM MY VENTS NO MATTER WHAT SETTING. I'VE BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOPS AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. AFTER SEEING DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE IN DIFFERENT FORUMS I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT.

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.

YES I'M HAVING STARTING ISSUES, I GOT NEW BATTERY AND REPLACED STARTER, KEPT HAVING SAME ISSUES, TOOK CAR BACK FOR RE DIAGNOSED NO SYSTEM ISSUE FOUND THEY CHECK FROM FRONT TO BACK STILL NO ISSUE FOUND, BUT CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES AND I HAVE TO GET A BOOST, PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE, IT'S A 2012 DODGE ADVENGER 138 THOUSAND MILES. IT HAPPENS WHEN I STOP AND GO PLACES AND GO TO GET BACK IN CAR IT WON'T CRANK.THANKS ALTHEA
