I purchased my dodge avenger brand new in 2013. after two years of having my car, my car started to not want to turn on. i would continue to try and sometimes it would work and not other times. i went to get the battery checked and was told it was fine. i then went to a dealership and they said i probably needed to get a fuel injector done so i did this as well and my car still time to time will not start. 2nd my left side body panel one day just popped out of place and when i would go to shut my door it would make a clicking sound from me trying to shut it. i was not in a wreck, there is no explanation as to why my panel popped out of place. 3. my car is now not blowing heat out (and its winter right now) i only noticed this once it became cold out and needed to use it. first couple times i tried running the heat it would do so but only on the driver side. the passenger side was blowing out cold air. i had a auto shop look into this and they said they didn't see anything even wrong with any of it. but that they would need to do a diagnostic beforehand which is going to cost me $195 then i can go from there.. i keep seeing where a lot of avengers are having the same problems with there heating system.. could this be all from a manufacturing problem with the heater core??
Clicking noise from behind glove box when running hvac. research points to a blend door motor which is a known problem to chrysler. also makes the same clicking noise even when the car is not running which could pose a fire hazard.

Purchased car 7/11/2013: (the 7,000 miles is a guesstimate) 11/21/2013 while in wv for my mothers funeral, parked in gas station, car running, in park, l/r turn signals started flashing independently then the flashers started going off, stopped by themselves. this has continued, took to dealership, they couldn't find any codes, all connections looked ok. started keeping a log of milage when this happens, starting on 1/4/2014 mileage 10,254 and has continued to current date 4/30/2014. this may happen only once but then again it may happen several times within the same milage. can not count the times it happens while car is parked in the driveway with keys in the house and no one touching them. i believe it's the cluster in the steering column. also, i could not get my wipers to spray/wipe until i turned the turn signals on. has anyone else had this happen? *js
