2013 DODGE AVENGER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SENSOR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,600.

WHILE IN MOTION ON HWY36 IN BUTTS COUNTY GEORGIA MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND OFF.

CLICKING NOISE FROM BEHIND GLOVE BOX WHEN RUNNING HVAC. RESEARCH POINTS TO A BLEND DOOR MOTOR WHICH IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO CHRYSLER. ALSO MAKES THE SAME CLICKING NOISE EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING WHICH COULD POSE A FIRE HAZARD.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON DURING DRIVING THE VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW DAYS I TOOK IT TO A DODGE SERVICE, THEY SAID THE DRIVERS ACTIVE HEADREST & WIRING HARNESS WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACE FOR ABOUT $700, THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT. I SAW THE RECALL FOR NON-DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS - NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V282000 AND WANTED TO KNOW WHY THIS RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE THE ISSUE (APPEARS TO BE THE SAME AS WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING) WITH MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE 15 AMP FUSE WOULD CONTINUE TO BLOW OUT AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN SHUT DOWN MODE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SINCE DAY ONE I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH MY 2013 DODGE AVENGER SHIFTING ROUGH, CONSTANTLY SHUDDERRING, AND CLUNKING THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM

2013 DODGE AVENGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE HEAD REST ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING, THE DRIVER'S HEAD REST OPENED UP AND HIT HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD CAUSING HIS HEAD TO GO FORWARD. *JB

PURCHASED VEHICLE 02/2013 SIX MOTHS LATER NOTICED BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN COMING TO A STOP GOING DOWN A HILL. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE, TOLD "BRAKE SENSOR IS TOO SENSITIVE." ONE YEAR LATER NOTICED WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION BEYOND 50MPH ENGINE WILL HESITATE- FEELS LIKE IT WILL SHUT OFF. SIMILAR SITUATION WHEN IDLING. TWO YEARS LATER STEERING MAKES LOTS OF NOISE. NONE OF THESE CONCERNS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WHEN BROUGHT TO STAFF'S ATTENTION AT DODGE DEALERSHIP. DODGE REQUESTS I PAY $107+ FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. NOT HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE MORE SO BECAUSE I AM MOTHER TO A THREE YEAR OLD AND EXPECTING...I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS CAR.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON 11-04-2015. AFTER JUST ONE DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & OBD2 SCAN REVEALED AIR LEAK IN FUEL SYSTEM. NEW GAS CAP INSTALLED & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON. I PLAN TO GET THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT BY DODGE DEALERSHIP IF THIS ISSUE CONTINUES. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY WAY TO COME BACK & EDIT THIS COMMENT IF PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. THANK YOU. *TR
