I have now lost the heat on the passenger side of my car 3 times. first time they did just a flush, next time replaced the heater core, and now it's gone again. this is a huge issue because it always happens during the winter! it's a complete visibility concern! not to mention a very common issue that something in the manufactoring is causing.
Passenger side blows cold air when heat is on.
Heater core plugged despite following coolant service in the owners manual. symptom was barely warm air from drivers side and cold air from passenger side vents. repaired at a cost of $1800 in jan 2018. in feb 2019 the symptoms have returned. no heat in the car can be a hazardous situation in the northern states where temperatures have reach life threatening lows in recent weeks.
Heat only works on drivers side part of the time. have found out this is a manufacturer defect with the heater core. with no heat on passenger side i can not drive my car in the winter. i can not defrost my windshield due to no heat and if i am driving in snow or freezing wet temperatures my windshield w freezes up. this has been a problem i have had since i bought the car in 2018. took it to the dealership i bought it from and found out it was a manufacturer defect. filed a complaint with dodge and was told i would have to bring the car in for diagnostic which would be charged to see what is wrong with it. have read that many avenger owners are having the same problems with no real fix by dodge. it is a heater core defect. which is over a $1,000 fix that i should not have to pay for due to it being a defect from the manufacturer.
The driver's side blows hot air but the passenger's side blows cold air.
At all times - hot air only blowing on driver side.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 dodge avenger. the contact stated that the defrost system became inoperable while defrosting the windows in the vehicle. the failure was persistent. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the local dealer and manufacturer were not notified. the failure mileage was approximately 50,000. *tt the consumer stated dealership fixed the problem and installed a new heater core. *tr
Heat no longer blowing out of passenger side of vehicle. upon looking online, this is apparently a very common manufacturers defect with a clogging heater core, and radiator. this is due to the way the radiator and heater core were made. dodge is aware of the issue and will do nothing to address it. this needs to be a recall.
I got a 2012 dodge avenger and the passenger side blows freezing cold air and the drivers side blows hot. there are lots of consumer complaints and historical data on this issue; and the source of the issue is manufacture defect.
With the vehicle warmed up i get heat blowing out of the vents, whether it's the cabin, floor or defrost for maybe 10 seconds, then it turns to completely cold on both driver and passenger side
My 2012 dodge avenger has heating issue. heat comes out of the vent on the driver side of the car but cold air on passenger side. i have looked the issue up and alot of people are having the same problem. why is the issue with 2012 avenger not being addressed. i can't drive this car in upstate new york in the winter because it is unsafe. i camt see out any of my passenger side windows or right side of dash because it all fogged up and frosted due to no heat in that side of car.
1 year ago passenger side began blowing cool air, now only blows cold air. drivers side used to blow hot air, now only blows warm air. defrost is only warm on drivers side. actuator doors have been replaced, still doesn't work. estimated price to repair >$1200 due to the heater core needing to be replaced.
Heat does not work on the passenger side of the car have read several complaints from numerous customers complaining of the same exact problem he works fine on the driver side
Knocking coming from passenger side every 20 minutes. heater not working blows out cold air and now there is knocking coming from driver side as well defroster don't work on passenger side makes hard to see during raining and foggy weather
No heat whatsoever. changed two blend door actuators that cost me over 100 dollars. still no heat. i have researched online and have seen many other dodge avenger owners with the same problem. it is a manufacturers problem and dodge refuses to create a recall for it. i have made several calls to dodge and they continue to deny it is a problem on their side when it clearly is. it would cost me >1000 dollars to replace a heater core or anything heat related under the hood.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 dodge avenger. while driving 40 mph, the air conditioner on the passenger side only blew out cold air. there was no warning prior to the failure. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 94,000.
No heat or defrost on passengers side of vehicle: i feel that it is a safety issue when the window has frost on it or fogs during driving. on november 20, 2017 i went to the dealership with no heat or defrost on the passengers side of car. the dealership found that the heater core was plugged. the car was out of the dodge warranty and the after market warranty i had bought with the vehicle felt it was from "normal wear and tear". doing research on-line. i have found that dodge knows of an issue with this particular engine and sand left behind during production but won't admit to it. i am headed back to the dealership again (nov 14, 2018) to report that the repair that they made last november needs to be done again, i have no heat or defrost on the passenger side and that it is a safety issue when the window has frost on it or fogs during driving.
The car does not heat or defrost windshield properly. when driving in inclement conditions (we live in michigan) visibility is limited and passengers are cold. from all that i have read online and the diagnosis that i received a manufacturer defect makes the heater core become plugged not allowing hot air to flow properly. has not been an issue yet but concerned it may be. only reporting this due to the number of others who have had this issue with this year, make and model of vehicle.
Takata recall. beginning last winter the heat was only coming out on driver side.this winter it was notably worse. my mechanic checked and tried from actuator and electrical but said how the heater core is situated that was the cause for heat loss . he flushed and cleaned as best he could and said it needed a new heater core . it is very hard to keep windshield defrosted let aline be warm . he recommended contacting dodge.at fast speeds the heat is very sparse and if car is warmed up it is hardly any better. i can send a copy of mechanic's bill if requested
The passenger side vents blows cold air when the heat is on. drivers side works as it should on all settings but the passenger side blows cold. it is not a dual climate system and every component is working correctly. (thermostat, radiator, heater core, etc.) i have researched everywhere for a fix and no one has been able to correct the problem. this is a manufacturer defect and needs to be recalled and corrected!
Heater and defroster failed on passenger side. windshield will not defrost creating loss of vision on half of windshield and passenger side windows. this occurs while vehicle is stationary and in motion.
I have a 2012 dodge avenger with approximately 60k miles. the heat did not work on the passenger side. i have an extended warranty and took it to a dodge dealer for repair. i was told it was the heater core. the only sign was no heat, no leaks or smells. the extended warranty company was contacted but was told it was not a covered repair, it was a maintenance issue. i only take my car to the same dodge dealer for all repairs, maintenance services, recalls, etc.. i paid to have it flushed, but that didn't work, so i had to have it replaced and paid $1100. i've read the same complaints from other dodge avenger owners. i contacted dodge several times and each time i'm placed on hold for hours and once i get through, they rushed me off the phone. how could over 100 other dodge avenger owners have the same complaint as myself regarding the heater core. the dealer explained to me this is manufacture's defect and it should be a recall. there was nothing i could have done to prevent the heater core problem. this is a safety issue. no heat on the passenger side making it impossible to see clearly through the entire front windshield.
Heat vents on passenger side blowing cold air
Car blowing cold air on passenger side. took to dodge dealer. was told the heater core was blocked, i needed a new heater core and flushing would not help. was told nothing i did wrong nor could i have prevented it. only take my vehicle to dodge dealers for all work. i have an extended warranty but it was not covered. was told it was a manufactures defect. chrysler requires flushing at 104,000 mile, i have 67k miles. i had the work done. paid $1075.00. after some research, found out that the heater core in the dodge avengers goes back regularly. many owners with the same problem. contacted chrysler, said i was over my chrysler warranty. nothing they could do.
I bought this vehicle october 22, 2014. after a week went back to dealership explaining the heat did not work on passenger side. he told me to bring it back it. took it back in, service parts told me it wasn't covered -- manufacturer defect. took the car in to thomas dodge they said i needed a new radiator and the heater core was clogged -- cost to repair $1900. i bought the car with 60,000 mi. i've put @20,000 miles on it in 3 years. and bought a service contract. this is obviously a known problem -- i'm just stumped. i need something reliable.
Heat only works on driver side , cold air on passenger side
The heating in my car only works on the drive side. on the passenger side it blows cold air when the heat is on.
My 2012 avenger rt is at 72600 miles. before last winter when i was at about 60k miles estimated, my passenger side heat stopped working. only cold air will blow from the passenger side making it impossible to defrost the windshield without starting the car for at least 15 minutes. i have noticed that this is a common problem in this make/model but yet it has not been recalled. the expense i have seen is between $1000 to $3000 dollars which is unacceptable. first dodge i have owned and will probably be my last as well. the first time i noticed the issue was when winter first came and we couldn't take my car because it was too cold for my girlfriend to ride in.
My 2012 dodge avenger rt has no heat on the passenger side. not only is this uncomfortable, it is also unsafe as this leads to the windshield not being able to be defrosted. many sites i have seen people with this same issue. dodge needs to own up to this and fix this safety hazard.
The heater core has failed causing only mild heat on the driver side of the vehicle. while only cold air will blow on the passenger side. with this failure from bad casting sand removal upon manufacturing of the vehicle it has caused the thermostat to fail causing my vehicle to run far below operating temp. since the cabin space cannot receive full heat it makes for dangerous operating conditions in cold climates as i cannot defrost the front windshield. this has made operating the vehicle during winter dangerous as i cannot see while driving. the vehicle will not provide passenger side heat no matter if the vehicle is in motion or not. while in motion the vehicle will never get to operating temp nor will the front windshield defrost.
In my car there is no heat. at first it started with just heat blowing from the driver side and slowly the heat completely stopped working. the car makes a loud ticking noise behind the glove compartment when the heat is turned on, and even when it is just sitting in the parking lot off.
Heater core. blows hot air on driver's side, cold air on passenger side all the time when using heater.
The heat in my vehicle works only on the driver side. the middle and passenger side vents blow out cool or cold air when the heat is on. the heat only works when accelerating on the highway. i have replaced tubing and both thermostats and the issue is not resolved.
Heater blows cold air on the passenger side at all times, and has weak heat on drivers side as well which causes windows to fog up and not be able to be defrosted limiting visibility greatly. it also is very uncomfortable being in the car without a properly working heater.
Heat does not work on the passenger side floor. only blows cold air. mechanic has checked it and i received an estimate of $1,000 to $1,200. mechanic stated he has seen this problem in several other dodge avengers.
Every time i start the car it makes a ticking noise on the passenger side for about 15 seconds, it then stops. the passenger side is not blowing out heat rather cold air.
Ive been reading online that there are many people having the same issue i have with my car. when you turn the heater on the passenger side of the car blows out cold air. if i want the passenger side of my car to defrost i have to manually get out of my car and scrape it and even then the inside still is hard to see out of. i cant even bring my daughter in this car because the passenger side of the car seems like it is running the air conditioning in the middle of winter. there is also sometimes was a clicking noise under the passenger side dash which is the actuator. after replacing this it still does the same thing. i hear that it costs thousands of dollars to fix and i believe it is a manufacturer issue and they should resolve it.
Vichle heater core leaking in 2012 dodge avenger. car runs got and a/c not working.
My heater is not working properly blown cold air on passenger side already replaced blend doors there is water in my dashboard but there is no water leaking inside car no water comes out from the evaporator hose when ac is running everytime i turn on my car u hear the water gushing through out the dash havent had a heater for a couple years already
The drivers side blows hot air when i set the knob on hot but the passenger side only blows cold air and won't heat up. its terrible for in the winter only half of the windshield gets unlogged and the other half i can't see out of. ive read somewhere that this is a defect in the car somewhere and dodge should have to cover the costs for fixing them.
Takata recall- i have a vehicle that is currently on recall, i can not safely drive the vehicle so it has been mostly sitting since october when i received a recall notice. i have been in contact many times with the person who is supposed to help and resolve the problem. i have been told that i will be awarded $40.00 a day for a rental car until the problem has been fixed and i can have my car fixed. however i can not get an appropriate vehicle for $40.00 a day. plus i can not afford to pay the money upfront to get a rental vehicle. it would be much cheaper to just have you guys pay it off. my car would of already been paid off if someone would have done so in the begining. i am write to let you know that the car is now having issues; it keeps making a loud clicking noise when it first starts as well as when it stops and periodically when it isn't even being driven. it also leaks water into the trunk when it is wet outside. i am asking once again for this car to be paid off, i can not sell or trade this vehicle and am still making payments on it. i am asking to get this paid off, if not i have contacted a lawyer and will proceed with a law suit, i really do not wish to persue this however it has been nine months and i need this resolved.
Driving down the road , my cars engine revved up and started rolling backwards on a hill, going into a ditch! car doesn't move, gear shift works but car won't move. called tow truck driver to crow car home
The metal coating on all of the door handles is defective. it is peeling up exposing a very sharp edge on all handles that causes deep lacerations on hand.
The heat on the passenger side of the car is blowing out cold air even though the heat is turned on all the way. also while i'm driving my temperature gauge rises if i don't have the heat on. this is a problem for all dodge avenger owners and this issue really needs to be resolved
Heater core defect. the heater only blows cold air on passenger, smi-warm air on driver. even on high heat.
Starting last winter,2016, heater began to blow cold air more so on passenger side. this winter took to very good mechanic who flushed system ,checked actuator doors and electrical.he said how heater core was mounted causes residue,that can't be flushed out,and was causing lack of heat to most of cabin.also there is little or no defrost which is so very dangerous.many people have replaced heater core to find thr same thing happened again. hope there is help.
No heat coming in on the passenger side vents. lustine dodge did a radiator and heater core flush then told me the heating core needed to be replaced and still want to charge for the flush. i have seen the heating core issue several times reported and needs to be recalled. i am also calling dodge to register complaint and fraud since they know this is an issue.
Heat not working on passenger-side the heat does work on driver-side chrysler knows about the problem they even have a case number but no recall yet the case number is s1207000008 a lot of people have called chrysler about this problem but chrysler is doing nothing about the problem.
The ac heater does not heat on the middle and right vents. the only one that heats is the driver side vent. i noticed it when it was winter of the issue. there are alot of complaints about this issue
Passenger heater side blows cold air. when changing ac/heater to/from fresh air and re-circulation a loud clicking noise happens. p0306 cylinder misfire when it rains water gets into the trunk though the spoiler.
