Told heater core was bad at 57,000 miles by dealership due to no heat on passenger side but heat on driver's side and is a known manufacture defect in this car. car is very well maintained.
Dodge left residual machining debris in the avenger engine blocks that flows with coolant into the heater core and radiator causing the heater core to clog up and blocks heat to passenger side in the winter causing unsafe or unfit to operate in cold weather. i've had my avenger in dodge dealership where they confirm my heater core is blocked. it costs over 2k to fix this issue caused by defective or lack of dodge factory engine inspections. i've spoken to fca the dodge parent company and their answer is we should've had extended warranty even though i'm within the mileage for the factory warranty but out of amount of years coverage . my avenger had extended warranty from an outside source but that company will not cover dodge created malfunctions. the attached info shows my avenger at the dodge dealership on 03-06-2019. i also had it serviced in wichita at pr autoglass and auto services just prior to bringing it to dodge dealership. pr autoglass and services stated it is the heater core and that the problem cannot be flushed out as it has accumulated in the heater core blocking it from being professionally flushed. the residue ...
I was on a hill about to turn onto the freeway when my vehicle turned off/stalled. i was moving about 10 miles per hour and when i went to turn right i found it difficult to move the steering wheel, at which point i realized my vehicle had stalled. this is the third time i have had this issue with my vehicle within the last year.
My cooling system is contaminated by inferior products manufactured within my dodge avenger. material/s within the cooling system fail and cause debris to build up within the entire cooling system. this material/s is a sandy like substance that blocks critical cooling and heating components that has lead to major failures of my heating system via the debris blocking the heater core from functioning. i certain that this debris is also affecting my engine's cooling function.
My 2012 dodge avenger caught fire under the hood while i was driving on the fwy. i could not stop the car because the brake became locked in place and i couldnt press it down with my foot. the emergency brake did not work. it was unsafe to get out of the moving car, so i was trapped in the car as the fire under the hood grew rapidly. i was able to get off at the next exit and with quick thinking, i used the curb at the end of the fwy off ramp to help me stop the car. when firefighters arrived, the entire front end of my car was fully engulfed. from my understanding, chrysler/dodge has had reapeated complaints regarding similar incidents.
