- Howe, IN, USA

2012 Avenger SE with just under 100K miles. The heat is not working. Blowing cold on the passenger side and barely heating up on the driver side. After researching this on several message boards, this is due to a manufacturer issue with the heater core. I have flushed the system multiple times and it is not getting better. This issue is not due to not maintaining the car. This is a manufacture defect and I have called Dodge and was not given any assistance. I feel that this should be a recall as there are a lot of these cars having this exact same issue.

I am so afraid to drive my car because I don't know when its going to cut off. I have taken my car to the shop but still experience these issues. If someone could please contact me because something needs to be done about our unsafe vehicles.

Vehicle was serviced for airbag recalls however the light stays on constantly. Not long after buying the vehicle, I would put use the turn signal and the windshield wipers would come on, they still do from time to time. I took it in for service at the dealer and they could not figure out the problem. Also, from time to time, the air conditioner button will not work. The only way to get it to work is to rapidly turn the knob from side to side. It has sometimes taken up to 5 minutes to get it to work.

Takata recall the Dodge Avenger 2012 has messed up heating systems. The left drivers side is hot, then as you go to the passenger side it is ice cold. When on the highways the cold doesnt go away. It stays cold on the passenger side the whole time. The hottest one is left of the wheel. Then right of the wheel is lukewarm. Then passengers left heater is cold and passengers right heater is freezing. During the winter it gets to be -20 outside. There is no way I am able to drive in that since my car wont heat up correctly. No auto shop is able to fix the issue. Please issue a recall so we are able to drive in cold weather and have our heat on. Please stabilize the heating and cooling system to where it is all even for every heater.

The problem started with "clicking" sound coming from behind glovebox when heat or air was turned on. Would stop clicking after about 30 to 45 seconds. That went off and on for about a year. Now, there is only hot air coming from the driver side vents and cold air on the passenger side when heat is on. It no longer clicks when the blower is on but only have heat to one side of the car. This issue happens regardless if the car is parked or in motion.

Since 2016, my car has been out of heat on the passenger side and is now starting to lose heat on the driver side. I have had great up-keep on my car and get it fixed on a regular bases. During the winter my car is freezing cold. It is only letting heat out on the far left driver side vent and this is starting to blow cold air too. It takes forever to warm the inside of my car or never warms up at all. I'm unsure what the underlying problem is that I see is very common for this type of car. Being in the military I don't have thousands of dollars to get this fix. It is totally a manufactures defect and need to fixed immediately.

- Shreveport, LA, USA

My heat all of a sudden stop blowing hot or even warm. I am unable to defrost my car in the vehicle or keep my children and I warm and I am expecting a infant any day. I took the car in for a diagnostic test and was told that the issue was from casing sand clogging the radiator, heater core and the oil cooler. This is a manufactures defect. A flush of the radiator and heater core will not fix this issue. The cost is $1200 and I don't that kind of money right now and it is to no fault of my own. I don't know what I am going to do this winter.
