Twice now I've had to have my heater core replaced as the passenger blows cold air when it should be heat just like the drivers side. This is a known issue by Dodge abd they won't fix the problem or even assist with it.

While driving at hwy. Speed vehicle surged but no warning lights, etc. Next time started, warning lights came on indicating a P2173 code.car was just at Dodge dealer for recalls. Car will idle fine for a couple of minutes then start surging, idling rough with no power and set warning lights, mil, etc, ESC. These will go off when vehicle is turned off except for check engine light. We have replaced throttle body with no change. Cleared code and came back and did the same. Very disappointed that Dodge has not addressed this issue. It is not safe.

The heat only works on the drivers side the vents on the passenger side still blow air but it is ice cold whether the car is parked or in motion the passenger side does not blow out warm air this is an issues that needs to be recalled.

- New Ulm, MN, USA

When heat is on, the passenger side blows cold (I live in wi so, when I say cold, I mean cold) air from every blowing port on the passenger side... occurs at all times, whether stationary or in motion. Have tried a few things reccomended on multiple other pages by people who are experiencing the same exact issue. No help. The driver side vents do blow warm air but, not close to as hot as it should be. This has been occurring since right around 118,000 miles. I start my car 20 minutes before I leave my house at 5am to bring my young children to daycare and be to work by 6. when getting in after being started for 20 min... barely any difference in temp which, is frustrating when you drive with your babies 35 minutes in the cold cold cold along with several deer and a windshield that won't defrost completely. Have purchased the extended warranty from dealer and, somehow (what a shock) there is no help for me as 'the issues being described sound like it was brought on by you, the vehicle owner or, enviorment factors'... it hurts knowing you are a loyal and honest human who works hard every day to barely make ends meet and then... to have your character slandered by the (several thousand dollars extra) lifetime warranty that the salesman so confidently swore by on the day of purchase. Owner misuse? there are hundreds and hundreds of people having the exact same issues who own the exact same car... sorry but, safe to say that isn't coincidental. I have children and groceries and gas to get to work and school and life... it may sound ridiculous to some but, the $900-$1600 they are saying it would cost... doesn't come easily for just everyone. I'm just hoping that some people will choose to do the right thing and, stand behind the very words that lead them to where they are currently in life. Faith in these humans will hopefully bring appropriate solutions.

I was driving my 2013 Dodge Avenger and the horn goes off by itself from 3 seconds to 3 minutes constantly. When I drive the car it cuts off. My car has only 85000 miles and I have read similar complaints regarding this vehicle around that mileage.

For the past year, my car randomly stalls while driving. There is no rhyme or reason for when it stalls, so I never know when it is going to happen. No lights ever appear on the dash. After sitting for a few minutes, my car usually starts back up again. In addition to the engine stalling, the windshield wipers stutter and the car horn randomly sounds from anywhere between a second to a full minute. I'm not sure if the two issues are related at all, but I've taken it to the mechanic several times and gotten various parts replaced to no avail. The problem persists, and no one can figure out what the issue is. After online research, I have found that there are two recalls for 2013 Dodge Avengers for an issue with the engine stalling, but for some reason my 2013 Dodge Avenger is not included--even though it has the same issue as described in the recall. I should not have to say how dangerous it is for one's engine to stall out on a highway. My husband almost got hit by an 18-wheeler as the engine stalled while he was driving in front of it. The steering-wheel locked, but luckily he was able to somehow steer off the road onto the shoulder. It is not safe to drive my car in this condition.

Fan wiring harness recalled, dealership advised of failure to fan when taken in for headgasket, nothing done. Multiple complaints made with Dodge hq.
