2014 DODGE AVENGER Complaints

TEMPERATURE GAUGE ALARM CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND NOTICED THE GAUGE SHOWED IT WAS REALLY HOT. PULLED OVER TO LET IT COOL DOWN AND NOTICED THE FAN UNDER THE HOOD WASN'T RUNNING TO HELP COOL IT DOWN.

THE HEATER CORE IS WORKING AND THE BEND DOOR ACTUATORS ARE WORKING BUT THE HEAT ONLY WORKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE. I'VE SEEN MANY FORUMS OF PEOPLE SAYING THE SAME THINGS ABOUT 2012-2014 MODELS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. IT IS WINTER NOW AND ONLY HALF THE HEAT WORKS, AS WELL AS ONLY HALF THE DEFROSTER AS WELL. THE CAR ONLY HAS 105K MILES ON IT AND I'VE HAD NO ISSUES TILL THIS AND OTHER RECALLS. DODGE SHOULD RECALL THESE AS IT'S A ISSUE WITH MANY AVENGER MODELS. THE VEHICLE DOES IT JUST IDLING IN A PARK SPOT OR DRIVING. NOT SURE IF IT'S DEFECTIVE ACTUATOR BENDING DOORS OR THE HEATER CORE ITSELF?! PLZ LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS AND HOPEFULLY THIS ISSUE CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL.

I OWN A 2014 DODGE AVENGER IN WHICH ONLY COLD AIR COMES OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME WHAT I HAD EXPECTED ALL ALONG, A CLOGGED HEATER CORE. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS AND FOUND OUT DODGE IS AND WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. CLOGGED HEATER CORE BECAUSE OF FAULTY FLUSHING OF THE WATER JACKETS ON THE V6 ENGINE. I AM VERY LIMITED ON DRIVING MY CAR IN THE WINTER BECAUSE MY WINDSHIELD WILL NOT DEFROST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH IS A HAZARD. THIS FAULT IS NOT BECAUSE OF MISUSE OF THE VEHICLE BUT A MANUFACTURING FAULT OF DODGE. GUESS WHAT, THEY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND NOT BY THE CONSUMER. IF DODGE KNEW OF THIS DEFECT AND THE CONSUMER WASN'T NOTIFIED ISN'T IT FRAUD. I NEED HELP..

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE HEADREST SNAPPED HITTING ME IN THE HEAD. ALMOST MADE ME CRASH.YOU ARE LUCKY I DIDN'T CAUSE I WOULD HAVE SUED YOUR ASS.

: "WINDOW DEFROST AND PASSENGER HEAT /AIR. WHILE EITHER IN MOTION OR WHILE DRIVING, NO HEATED AIR EXITS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER, NOR THE PASSENGER WINDOW DEFROST, LOWER AND CENTER CONSOLE VENTS. HEATED AIR ONLY EXITS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER'S SIDE DASH VENTS. PROBLEM PERSISTS THROUGH ALL CABIN AIR MODES, AND CIRCULATIONS. THIS SAFETY ISSUE EFFECTS VISIBILITY AND PASSENGER SAFETY BY FAILING TO DEFROST/DEFOG WINDOWS AND KEEPING CABIN TEMPURATURES NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING DURING COLD WEATHER (BLOWING COLD AIR INTO THE CABIN)." DOES NOT MATTER IF VEHICLE IS MOVING OR PARKED.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WHEELS LOCKED UP AND PULLED HARD LEFT AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AS WELL AND I CRASHED

BETWEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER TIL NOW. I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE ON A MONDAY WITH $500 DOWN. 2014 DODGER AVENGER WITH 74K AND BOUGHT THE OTHER$500. SO IN TOTAL $1000 DOWN. AND WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR UP TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT HAD TO GET EXPECTED, NO RECEIPT FOR IT OR NOTHING SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY HAD EXPECTED. THEREFORE, EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. I HAD TO BRING IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AFTER I CALLED THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE PAID TWO CARS OFF AND THIS IS MY WORSE EXPERIENCE I HAD WITH A VEHICLE I WAS DRIVING. IT WAS GOOD WHILE IT LAST BUT THE SECOND TIME SAME THING HAPPEN FIRST TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY DOWN PAYMENT BACK ALONG WITH THE NOTES I WAS PAYING. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION TO WERE I WOULD HAVE HAD A LITTLE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. SINCE SATURDAY NIGHT IT'S BEEN PARKED AND MONDAY 10/14/2019

WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 75 S @70 MPH DRIVER SIDE HEADREST DETACHED FROM THE BACK. MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. PURCHASED BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT IN 2014. NO ACCIDENTS WITH THE CAR PAST OR RECENT. NO BUMPER DAMAGE. PULLED OVER AND COULD NOT GET THE FRONT TO RESET BACK INTO THE FRAME. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE THE VIN IS OUT OF THE RANGE OF A PREVIOUS RECALL DODGE WON'T FIX IT. WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN A QUOTE YET FOR WHAT OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE WILL BE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 75 S, TRAVELING @70 MPH THE DRIVER SIDE HEADREST DETACHED FROM THE FRAME.

BOTH OF MY FRONT SEAT HEADRESTS DEPLOYED AS PASSENGERS WERE GETTING OUT THE CAR AND PUSHED AGAINST THE SEATS TO GET OUT THE CAR. THE CAR WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE HEADRESTS DEPLOYED LIKE THEY DID. SINCE THE PINS ARE NO LONGER IN THE HEADRESTS, IT APPEARS I WILL HAVE TO ORDER NEW ONES TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE UPHOLSTERY ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR HAS LIFTED.
