2011 DODGE AVENGER Complaints

DEFROSTER ONLY WORKS ON HIGH. DROVE FOR 40 MINUTES HAD TO KEEP FAN AND HEAT CONTROL ON FULL THE WHOLE TIME TO KEEP WINDSHIELD CLEANED OFF. SIDE WINDOWS NEVER CLEARED OFF.

PASSENGER DEFROST BLOWS COLD AIR WHICH MEANS IT IS NOT CLEARING THE WINDOWS IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE FROSTING OF WINDOWS HAS CREATED SAFETY ISSUES FOR ME BECAUSE ON A BUSY ROAD I HAVE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT.

THIS CAR CONTINUES TO SWAY AND HOP AT ALMOST ANY SPEED. IF YOU HIT THE SLIGHTEST BUMP THE REAR END OF THIS VEHICLE HOPS AS IF THE TIRES HAVE ACTUALLY LEFT THE GROUND. IN ADDITION, THE CAR SWAYS LEFT TO RIGHT ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH. I HAVE DRIVEN IN THE SNOW FOR THE LAST 30+ YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO WHITE KNUCKLED IN THE SNOW. THIS CAR FEELS AS IF IT HAS ZERO CONTROL IN THE SNOW. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE IT. AND I AM NOT TALKING FEET OF SNOW, IT HAD LITERALLY JUST STARTED TO SNOW AND THERE WAS MAYBE AN INCH OR TWO ON THE GROUND. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY MECHANIC THINKING MAYBE IT NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT ONLY TO BE TOLD THE ALIGNMENT WAS ALREADY SPOT ON ~ I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS FLAW IN THE SUSPENSION ON THIS CAR YET NO MECHANIC OR DEALER CAN TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE FELT IT THEMSELVES. SOMEBODY PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON EXPERIENCING THIS HORRIBLE FEELING :( *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2011 DODGE AVENGER EXPRESS USED IN 2013, A DAY AFTER I STARTED NOTICING THE REAR END FISH TAILING JUST GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY "SAW NOTHING". ANOTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN AND LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR BECAUSE IT FISH TAILED. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL WITHOUT INCIDENT I AGAIN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I MAY NEED NEW TIRES.I BOUGHT 4 BRAND NEW TIRES.THIS "SEEMED" TO HELP FOR THE FIRST DAY OR SO. I BROUGHT IT BACK AGAIN AND THEY STILL "DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG". I AM FEARFUL FOR MY LIFE EACH AND EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS CAR ESPECIALLY IN WET OR SNOWY WEATHER. I HAVE DRIVEN IN SNOW AND RAIN FOR 20 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE AFRAID TO HAVE MY CHILDREN OR MYSELF IN MY CAR. PLEASE DODGE RESEARCH THIS SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN BEFORE SOMEONE BECOMES SERIOUSLY INJURED OR GOD FORBID DIES. I CAN SEE BY THE OTHERS HERE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES. *TR
