“On june 28, 2019 around 5:15pm central time, I was on the highway 60 MPH driving home from work and heard a loud noise around my head area, after stopping to check what made the noise I noticed my driver side head rest had ejected, I checked for a recall for the head rese and nothing was noted about it.”
NHTSA complaint #11228656, filed 2019-07, 117,200 miles“The passenger side of my Avenger is blowing nothing but cold air. The heater and defrost on the drivers side works great. In winter driving the passenger side window will not defrost and this causes a very dangerous situation. I have read where many others have had the same problem and chrysler corp. Will do nothing about it. I believe it has something to do with debris coming from the water jackets around the engine. It is not the blender door as I have had it checked. …”
NHTSA complaint #11170582, filed 2019-01, 50,000 miles“Takata recall I got a letter for a safety recall on my 2014 Dodge Avenger sxt for safety recall #61/ NHTSA 16v-668 - occupant restraint controller. Everything was going fine until june 1st when all sudden when driving my air bag icon would flash on and off. Tried bring it back to local dealership that had fixed the recall saying something was wrong and that I had just brought the car in not long ago for a recall. They looked it up and seen that I was just in but wouldn't just look at car for the issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11100565, filed 2018-06, 94,000 miles“The heater core is working and the bend door actuators are working but the heat only works on the driver side and not the passenger side. I've seen many forums of people saying the same things about 2012-2014 models. This seems to be a big issue with this car. It is winter now and only half the heat works, as well as only half the defroster as well. The car only has 105k miles on it and I've had no issues till this and other recalls. Dodge should recall these as it's a issue with many Avenger models. The vehicle does it just idling in a park spot or driving. …”
NHTSA complaint #11302691, filed 2020-01, 104,989 miles“I was in a car accident as of march, I had front damage hit pretty hard at least the passenger air bag should have deployed but after I got my car back it started cutting off for no reason. I took it back to auto shop that fixed it when the check engine light came on due to revving up between the 3 and 5 RPM and barely moving the lightest touch it would stay stuck between those even slowing down to less 25 MPH as soon as step on the gas it will shoot right back up between 3 and 5 RPM and rev.. …”
