Driver side blows like warm heat, passenger side blows freezing cold air. i have spoken to three different dodge technicians and they said this is a very common issue between 2010 and 2015 dodge avengers and all dodge vans. sometimes replacing the heater core will fix it sometimes it will not. sometimes replacing both thermostats fixes it and sometimes not. sometimes replacing both blender door actuators fixes it sometimes it does not. sometimes replacing the water pump fixes it and sometimes it does not. many people have replaced all of those things and it still did not fix the issue. dodge really needs to fix this issue because it is ridiculous! this is the first dodge i have ever owned and it absolutely will be the last dodge i will ever own!
The heater only blows hot air or the driver side, the middle and passanger side vents blow cold air, even when the defrost is on heat
On september 26 2016, the driver's side headrest exploded and came lose (for no apparent reason). experiencing headache due to the bump on my head. despite the vehicle being only three years old, and with just 56000 miles, the radiator and air conditioning systems have been replaced! 2013 dodge avenger is not a safe car to drive and needs to be thoroughly investigated for quality and safety. the headrest explosion happened while the engine was off and was about to exit the vehicle inside my garage.
The transmission is the problem. i was driving when the car started making noises and stopped on a hill. i was able to roll down the hill backward, and turn into a park entrance before the car came to a complete stop. i turned off the car started it again and this time it wouldn't move when i put it in gear even though the engine was running. we had the car towed to the dealer and to date it still has not been looked at.
I bought this car brand new in june 2013 and about 3 years after purchasing the heat has gone out but the air works fine in summer, so i've been without heat because i can't afford the repair cost and i will definitely never buy another dodge on account that after reading that so many other owners have had the very same problem but yet dodge does not see the need to do a recall on this problem....so the customer service ends after you say i do!
Takata recall...i have a 2013 dodge avenger.. my rear airbag pop out while i was driving on the highway. also, my front vents are blowing out cold and hot air at the same time.
Clicking noise on passenger side upon starting car. passenger side blows only cold air, but driver side blows hear without a problem
When starting car, all lights and power features work but car will not turn over. its been a problem that comes and goes with no warning.
Recently purchased this vehicle and after a week and a half, noticed that my car is not gearing correctly on its own and at times decelerates when trying to accelerate. also when shifting vehicle from park, reverse, drive, etc... it makes a jump with a loud noise.
While approaching a stop sign, i did hit the breaks, i felt a jolt however the car never stopped. the car did skid across a highway, and land in a ditch. there was extensive front end damage, however no air bags deployed. bothe me and my minor child were removed from the vehicle by emergency response teams. we did both sustain injuries. the vehicle was unable to be driven and was towed.
My vehicles stalls while driving on the highway and its an automatic. i keep my regular maintenance on it. this has almost caused 3 different accidents on multiple occasions. when i stop my car almost acts as though it wants to shut off. in order to pick speed back up i midst floor it to even get moving anywhere. this is very unsafe seeing as though i have a 2 yr old. something must be done. i'm insuring a car that has had recalls for this very same issues and now dodge tells me they'd have to charge me $115 for a diagnostics test.
Heater blowing cold air on the passenger side. it blows very little hot air only on the driver side. the defrost does not work hardly at all due to this situation. this all started happening about a year and a half to 2 years after purchasing my vehicle brand new. i feel like it's dangerous to drive this car when the defrost is needed. i took my car to a dodge dealer last week and paid to have my car flushed in hopes of making the heater work. that didn't help so they said that i would have to buy a new heater core. so after owning a brand new car for a year and a half to 2 years should not in my opinion need a new heater core. i've been reading a lot of reviews on these cars and i see where lots of people are complaining of the same exact thing as myself. something must be wrong with the making of this particular car.
The power steering has gone out in my 2013 dodger avenger, after having the pump replaced, the problem was still not fixed. then the heat stops working, cost o fix that (supposedly the heater core) and the power steering (rack and pinion according to the local dodger dealership) is approx $2000. a quick search in the inter shows these are common problems in this year avenger. it is the way the engine was produced that year. when is there going to be a safety recall for these engines that lose power steering, like mine did, less than 6 months after bought this car.
Purchased car with 61,000 miles and right when i picked up car noticed that passengers side air was cold and drivers side was hot. also when adjusting airflow from vent, defrost, floor, floor/vent it does not correctly have the air come out at the selected location. this is a problem happening with the dodge avenger and there is no answer out there saying why this is happening to all year not just one year of the dodge avenger. dodge knows this is a recall item but will not admit they have this problem and assist there customers. there are various ideas out there saying why it is happening but as people try those solutions the problem is not fixed or it comes right back. dodge needs to make this a recall it is costing customers thousands of dollars and know one know what to do to fix 100% including dodge dealers. please help and get this issue to be a recall. the owner before me had this problem and could not get it corrected as i found out and that is why they got rid of it as i look more into the problem.
I feel heat coming from the vent near the driver side window. the middle vents along with the passenger side window vent only blows almost a/c cool air all the time.
I've never received a recall notice to take my vehicle to have it fix from the recall issues stated on the announcement.
