THE HEATER WILL ONLY COME OUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. WITH THE HEATER ON ONLY COLD AIR WILL COME OUT

WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 12/19/2019 FOR TWO RECALLS ON MY CAR. THE REPAIR WAS STATED THAT IT WOULD TAKE 2-3 HOURS BUT TOOK 5 HOURS. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR STARTED BACKING UP OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY ON ITS ON AND NOW IT DOES NOT START. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL THEM THE PROBLEM AND THEY STATED THAT I HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO BRING THE CAR THERE AND PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF. MY CAR WAS FINE BEFORE THEY WORKED ON IT.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2013 AND ABOUT 3 YEARS AFTER PURCHASING THE HEAT HAS GONE OUT BUT THE AIR WORKS FINE IN SUMMER, SO I'VE BEEN WITHOUT HEAT BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR COST AND I WILL DEFINITELY NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE ON ACCOUNT THAT AFTER READING THAT SO MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE VERY SAME PROBLEM BUT YET DODGE DOES NOT SEE THE NEED TO DO A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM....SO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ENDS AFTER YOU SAY I DO!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO HEAT IN THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 101,320.

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.

HEATER/DEFROSTER BLOWING COLD AIR OUT PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. PROBLEM WITH DEFROSTER/VISABILITY. HEATER CORE REPLACED IN JAN 2018. THERMOSTAT REPLACED IN 2019. NOW TWO YEARS LATER SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING AT HWY. SPEED VEHICLE SURGED BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS, ETC. NEXT TIME STARTED, WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON INDICATING A P2173 CODE.CAR WAS JUST AT DODGE DEALER FOR RECALLS. CAR WILL IDLE FINE FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN START SURGING, IDLING ROUGH WITH NO POWER AND SET WARNING LIGHTS, MIL, ETC, ESC. THESE WILL GO OFF WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF EXCEPT FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WE HAVE REPLACED THROTTLE BODY WITH NO CHANGE. CLEARED CODE AND CAME BACK AND DID THE SAME. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT DODGE HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. IT IS NOT SAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATING HVAC SYSTEM WAS INOPERABLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT DEFROST WHEN THE HEATER WAS ACTIVATED. THE CONTACT WAS AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE HVAC SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

THE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR WHEN HEATER IS ON, BUT PASSENGER REMAINS COLD. CANNOT GET PASSENGER SIDE TO DEFROST / DEFOG BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE DAY IT WAS BOUGHT. EVEN WHEN I WAS IN WARRANTY (BUMPER TO BUMPER) I STILL WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER STATIONARY / IDLE OR DRIVING.
