When it is raining the wipers will get stuck as it is pour and you try to drive. It has happened several times and the dealership finds nothing wrong. Also the fuse box is faulty, the charge light will appear on dashboard and will cause the car to not turn on or for it to stop working. The horn will sound on it's own and I have to wiggle fuses for it yo stop

In January 2020 my 2013 Dodge Avenger began to have issues that resulted in it stranding me at various times, I had the car towed and assesses it was determined that the battery was bad was the battery was replaced ( last replaced 2 years prior) the car was returned to me and almost 1 week later I was again stranded with a car that would not start and so I had it towed and assessed and this time it was the alternator, I had it repaired and returned to me the vehicle seemed fine for 2 weeks when suddenly the windshield wipers stopped working or would work intermittenly, the ac or heater would work intermittenly, the car horn and alarm stopped working and would go off randomly while driving, the vehicle would stall if the heater was on while driving and the alarm would go off if it stalled, finally I called Dodge and they told me to bring it in, they would find out what was wrong with it I told them from what I had read it seemd the issue was the tipm, 3 days later I get a call that it is the tipm and that they will also need to remove the alarm and that the repair would cost over $1900 and when the car is back it will no longer have an alarm though I bought the vehicle with an alarm on the show floor it would be additional cost to have a new alarm installed. I have read that this issue is a known issue and that it is very dangerous and Dodge continues to ignore how dangerous this is. The times the vehicle stalled I was driving, and could have been in an accident had I not reacted quickly and recognized what was happening.

The horn on my vehicle continues to beeps while driving, the radio no longer turns on and the car shuts off while driving without any warning almost causing accidents. I was told the power module needs to be replaced and there are many complaints online from other customers regarding the same issue with this make/model vehicle.

2013 Dodge Avenger has randomly started honking the horn while stopped and in motion. The honking lasts anywhere from a quick honk to sounding like I am laying on the horn for minutes going down the freeway. I have tried pulling over and restarting the vehicle which did not help or stop the horn. This is very dangerous.

- Bono, AR, USA

The issue occurs mostly while the vehicle is in motion, but occasionally when it is sitting still and idling. While driving, the car engine will suddenly stall. No warning lights or check engine lights turn on. No codes are found when scanning the obd2. There are no recorded miss fires for any of the cylinders either. This is an especially dangerous situation specifically when driving full speed on major highways or roads. When the engine stalls, power steering cuts out and I have to muscle the car off to the side of the road to put the car in park and start it up again. The engine has stalled while going in reverse, driving forward, and sitting idle. This has happened over a dozen times now.

For the past couple of months my horn goes off on its own. Sometimes it goes off when I lock my car, other times it does not. It will sometimes click, and other times it will blare for 5 seconds. It is very startling especially while driving in traffic or sitting at a stoplight. Once I was driving in the rain, and it went off for about 8 seconds and at the same time my windshield wipers started to stall and not work properly. The horn does not work when I push on it like it should. It is very concerning since it can cause safety issues.

- Irmo, SC, USA

My car began clicking, approximately 30 seconds at a time, late winter early spring 2018-2019 when the heat was turned on. I came to realize the car did not need to be running for this to happen. During an oil change the following week I was told the clicking had to do with the vents and how common this clicking was and that repair eas not guaranteed. As I am the primary person/occupant in my car, I found out later the heat only produced warm air. This is my 1st time owning a Dodge and everyday my experiences with this car reaffirms I will never own another. I make it a point to tell any and everyone this fact. I have copied some of the complaints logged about this and my other issue, car stalling while turning left to enter the freeway with throttle indicator. I was on the side of the road alone and female until tow arrived at 9pm and the cost for an alternator which after reading this may not be the issue.... had I known how unresponsive Dodge is to their customers by putting their profit over our cost of repairs... again, I tell everyone what they are likely to experience if they purchase the Avenger. The complainants listed here and on other sites very likely agree. Attached pics were time stamped 6.39pm. I sat on the on ramp to the freeway approximately 3 hours.

2013 Dodge Avenger 3.6L will need to placed on safety recall P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 the alternator is allowing current back to the battery. The battery is cooking and the alternator is smoking. This happened while driving and destroyed the battery. After the vehicle was stopped I put in a new battery and the alternator started smoking and the new battery became very hot while the vehicle was off, we did not even have the key in the ignition. This could have caused the battery to explode and could have been a fire if I did not remove the battery and the new battery.
