Windshield wipers will randomly stop working. Issue happens when the vehicle is stationary and in motion. I was on the express way in a downpour rain and my wipers stopped working, I had zero visibility and had to pull over for 20 minutes until they came back on.

The heat does not blow hot air on the passengers side of the car. This includes the windshield, causing a safety issue as it only clears the fog on one side. Dodge service shop said the issue is a known Chrysler issue, requiring a new radiator, heater core, and coolant bottle. At an estimate of $2235. However Chrysler is refusing to do anything about it claiming it is not a known issue.

The heat blows hot on the driver side but blows cold on the passenger side causing the windows and windshield to fog up and reduce visibility not to mention possible frostbite from sitting on that side.....gets pretty cold here in Minnesota. Bought the car new and the heat has never really been great on the passenger side, but now it's like turning the a.C. on. I have read some interesting articles about people having the same issues and it sounds like it's a manufactures defect and pretty expensive to fix, doesn't matter if the car is at idle or going down the road.

At around 100,000 miles my passenger side heat stopped working with only my driver side having some warmth. This was very sudden. Now, 3 weeks later there is no heat in my 2012 Dodge Avenger SE. It's the middle of winter and I cannot see because without heat I have no defroster. The car is not overheating, and my coolant levels have been fine. This is a serious safety issue which should warrant a recall on this vehicle. I am taking it to the automotive shop this week, but worry because I have seen people stating they had to pay huge sums of money for Dodge manufacturing defect. Please recall this defect.

My passenger airbag light comes on an off no matter if anyone is in the seat or not. Took my car to Dodge was told theres no recall yet I looked up my car in front of the service guy showed him the information he told me that wasn't true I would have to pay for my car to be check. Also my windshield wipers come on when they want to yet there's a recall for that as well an service continue to say the information not true. Do they just not wont to fix it. Both are so to the totally integrated power module (tipm), which is a control modual that needs to be replaced.

I took my car to the Dodge dealership to be diagnose because of windshield wiper not working properly. When wipers are turn on they would randomly stop out of no where then take several seconds sometimes minutes before coming back on, the diagnostic came back internal short in tipm. I've noticed in many research online there has been many recalls and problem regarding tipm from Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler. Also I've had shortage in my power window not wanting to work but will eventually start again and air bag light is on all those could be related to the bad tipm. The first time I'd noticed the windshield wiper not working I was driving home from work on a raining night on the park way doing 65mph with a semi truck in front of me then out of no where the windshield wipers got stuck in the middle of the windshield I could not see because it was raining kind of hard so I had to drive 20mph with my emergency flashes on because I was less then a half of mile from my exit then I pulled over at the first store off the exit. The other scenario with the windows not rolling down I was on my way to the doctor my driver side window was down when I pulled up to the parking lot it wouldn't roll back up after I left the doctor I got home 5 hours later I decided to give it another try it was working find. My air bag light has been on for about 4months now and I've notice there's been recalls on my vehicle about the air bag.

Driving car down I-20 on a clear day. When all of a sudden the windshield blades came on and stayed on for several minuets., this happened several more times. Dealer said there was no problem, because they could not see a code. Several months later it was storming and you could vaguely see several yards in front of you. Then with out warning wiper blades cut off. If somone else would have been around I would be dead.
