2012 DODGE AVENGER Complaints

DRIVER SIDE VENT BLOWS HOT AIR WHEN HEAT IS ON, BUT CENTER AND PASSENGER SIDE BLOW COLD AIR. THIS CAUSES FOGGING OF THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH MEANS I CAN'T SEE OUT THE WINDOW. I'VE READ THIS IS COMMON WITH THE 2013-2013 AVENGER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE VENT WAS NOT PROVIDING WARM AIR. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND AN UNKNOWN COMPONENT WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 126,000.

HEATER IS BLOWING WARM/HOT AIR ON DRIVER SIDE AND ON PASSENGER SIDE IS COLD AIR. TRIED DIFFERENT PARTS THAT EFFECTS HEATER AND STILL DOES NOT WORK

DRIVERS SIDE HEATER WORKS OKAY BUT THE PASSENGERS SIDE IS VERY COLD... I LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE AREA AND THE WINDOWS ARE ALWAYS FROZEN 😩 IT'S SO HARD TO KEEP THE CAR WHEN THIS DOESN'T WORK IT'S VERY UNSAFE

THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND DIM WHENEVER I ROLL THE WINDOWS UP AND THE CAR SEEMS TO PUTTER AT THE SAME TIME, THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR DOESN'T BLOW HEAT WHEN THE CAR IS SET TO BLOW HEAT IT ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR ALL THE TIME, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON A FEW WEEKS AGO FOR NO REASON AND WON'T GO AWAY AFTER ALL MAINTENANCE REPAIRS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES AND SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THEIR IS NO SEVERE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. BUT ALL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS KEEP HAPPENING AND I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND JUMP START THE BATTERY TWICE. I'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION OF JUST FILING A COMPLAINT ON THIS WEBSITE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING WITH THE HEATER IN OPERATION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE LIGHT INDICATED THAT THE THERMOSTAT NEEDED TO BE CHECKED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE HEATER CORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

HEAT AND DEFROST FOR WINDSHIELD DOES NOT WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE. EVEN IF I SCRAPE THAT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD IT STILL FROST OVER AS I DRIVE CAUSING VISIBILITY TO BE DIFFICULT ON THAT SIDE. I'VE READ A LOT OF REVIEWS AND THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THE V6 VERSIONS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE A LONG WITH BEING A SAFETY CONCERN. BEING ABLE TO SAFELY SEE IS NOT ACCESSORY IT IS ESSENTIAL. SO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE ONLY LEADS BACK TO THE MANUFACTURE. HAS NOTING TO DO WITH VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

DEFROSTERS DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE DOESN'T WORK. I'VE HAD THE ACTUATOR REPLACED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY THERMOSTAT, AFTER I'VE GOTTEN THAT REPLACED I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY HEATER CORE! I CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR DURING RAINY DAYS BECAUSE DEFROSTERS DOESN'T WORK DUE TO NO HOT AIR.

DRIVER SIDE AIR BLOWS HOT AIR WHILE PASSENGER SIDE AIR ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. A FLUSH FIXED IT SHORT TERM. DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE BUT WAS UNWILLING TO FIX.

THE CAR RANDOMLY DIES AND JUST SHUTS OFF. VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF BOTH WHILE BEING STATIONARY AND ON THE ROAD.
