2013 DODGE AVENGER Complaints

I PURCHASED MY DODGE AVENGER BRAND NEW IN 2013. AFTER TWO YEARS OF HAVING MY CAR, MY CAR STARTED TO NOT WANT TO TURN ON. I WOULD CONTINUE TO TRY AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD WORK AND NOT OTHER TIMES. I WENT TO GET THE BATTERY CHECKED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE. I THEN WENT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I PROBABLY NEEDED TO GET A FUEL INJECTOR DONE SO I DID THIS AS WELL AND MY CAR STILL TIME TO TIME WILL NOT START. 2ND MY LEFT SIDE BODY PANEL ONE DAY JUST POPPED OUT OF PLACE AND WHEN I WOULD GO TO SHUT MY DOOR IT WOULD MAKE A CLICKING SOUND FROM ME TRYING TO SHUT IT. I WAS NOT IN A WRECK, THERE IS NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY MY PANEL POPPED OUT OF PLACE. 3. MY CAR IS NOW NOT BLOWING HEAT OUT (AND ITS WINTER RIGHT NOW) I ONLY NOTICED THIS ONCE IT BECAME COLD OUT AND NEEDED TO USE IT. FIRST COUPLE TIMES I TRIED RUNNING THE HEAT IT WOULD DO SO BUT ONLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS BLOWING OUT COLD AIR. I HAD A AUTO SHOP LOOK INTO THIS AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING EVEN WRONG WITH ANY OF IT. BUT THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC BEFOREHAND WHICH IS GOING TO COST ME $195 THEN I CAN GO FROM THERE.. I KEEP SEEING WHERE A LOT OF AVENGERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THERE HEATING SYSTEM.. COULD THIS BE ALL FROM A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH THE HEATER CORE??

BRAKE ENGAGES. ENGINE: NOT ACCELERATING, STRANGE SOUND. JUST PURSHACED THE CAR 1 MONTH AGO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS, SEATS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. SAM LEMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM BLOOMINGTON (1602 COMMERCE PKWY, BLOOMINGTON IL) CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. WHEN THE HEAT WAS ACTIVATED, THE PASSENGER SIDE VENT PRODUCED COLD AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION WHICH CAUSED VEHICLE TO STOP FUNCTIONING WHILE ON 70 MPH EXPRESSWAY. VEHICLE WAS MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND SHUTDOWN. WHEN RESTARTED IF FUNCTIONED NORMALLY BUT, THE DASHBOARD LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON. THE VEHICLE FAULT CODES INDICATED IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CHANGED AND CORRECTED THE ISSUE. I DISASSEMBLED THE OLD THROTTLE BODY AND FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE AN INTERNAL PLASTIC GEAR TOOTH FAILURE. THIS IS A NON-SERVICEABLE SAFETY RELATED PART AND IN MY OPINION SHOULD NOT FAIL AT LESS THAN 80K MILES. I ASKED FCA TO REIMBURSE THE COST OF THE PART AND THEY DECLINED THIS REQUEST.

THE ETC WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY AND THE CAR WON'T ACCELERATE AND IS ERRATIC. BEEN WORKED ON 3 TIMES AT DODGE AND NOT FIXED. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN A HARRY SITUATION LEAVING WORK AND ALMOST COULD NOT GET AWAY

HEATER BLOWING COLD AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. DEALERSHIP STATES HEATER CORE IS PLUGGED UP AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. RECALL SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED.

THE DASH AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELT IS HARD TO LATCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND A RATTLING NOISE EMERGED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE NOISE WORSENED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LANDMARK DODGE/JEEP/RAM IN MORROW, GEORGIA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT SLUDGE BUILD-UP WAS PREVENTING OIL FROM REACHING THE ENGINE. THE DEALER STATED THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,330.

A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS TURNING AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHEN MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WENT ON. THE CAR LOST POWER BUT AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PETAL THE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND I GOT POWER BACK TO THE CAR. TOOK IT TO GET THE COMPUTER ON BUT NO CODES CAME BACK. TONIGHT I WAS MERGING INTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN ETC THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CAR LOST POWER AND I COULDN'T GO FASTER THEN 50MPH. I GOT BACK TO THE HOUSE TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND NO LIGHTS ARE ON. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. IF THE LIGHTS AREN'T ON THE COMPUTER WON'T PICK UP ANY ERROR CODES. ALSO MY CAR ALREADY HAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. IS THIS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM?
