Air bag light driverside been on for months drain my battery now air bag light goes off on.

All the sudden my dash defogger on passenger side and passenger defogger are blowing cold air and drivers side is warm. Googled issue and it seems to be a big thing.

A known issue with 2011 doge Avenger where the heater core goes bad . It's a known issue and should be covered by Dodge. I shouldn't have to pay $1k out of pocket . I have read hundreds of forums stating the problem and it has never been addressed . Ridiculous by Dodge.

Window defrost and passenger heat /air. While either in motion or while driving, no heated air exits the passenger side of the windshield defroster, nor the passenger window defrost, lower and center console vents. Heated air only exits the driver's side windshield and driver's side dash vents. Problem persists through all cabin air modes, and circulations. This safety issue effects visibility and passenger safety by failing to defrost/defog windows and keeping cabin temperatures near or below freezing during cold weather (blowing cold air into the cabin). Manufacturer is aware but has yet to recall the issue even though reports are widespread for their vehicles in this model and dealership states it is a known issue.

Car has died while driving in traffic 5 times between 01/22/19 and 03/06/19. Presented many different issues, including stall, no start, no crank, poor idle. Towed in 5 times to 3 different dealerships and dead again. Over $2000 in out of pocket costs so far and the danger to life sitting in a dead car in the middle of snowstorms in rush hour traffic. Also several times in between would not even start in the driveway. And many other what I refer to as "electrical gremlins"! all times dates and occurrences are documented in writing, backed up by texts and even some short videos showing dash with check engine lights and other issues.

2011 Dodge Avenger express. Drivers side blows hot air but passenger side blows cold. This began doing this action in April 2018 and when I drive on the highway or city traffic, it blows hot on one side and the other side is cold. I also noticed that the air stops blowing for several minutes then comes back on by itself.

Driver's side window control doesn't work. The window will not go up or down.

The known issue of the passenger side heat going out. Not able to heat up in the cold weather of maryland's winters. One month ago car started ticking but now the heat is starting to fade away.

Known issue that manufacturer refuses to address. Unsafe to drive during very cold temperatures. This vehicle only produces heat on the driver side vent. Temperature fluctuates and turns heat to cool while driving. Does not properly defrost. Has ticking issues coming from behind the steering column when changing ac settings.

Takata recall I was involded in a accident, my vehicle was rear ended and my seat belts did not locked or airbags did not eject. Also my break indicater always pops up on the dash board. My back window stop rolling down. The air conditioner makes a loud claking sound everytime I turn on or off the engine. And it wont revers. Theeres something new always going on with this car.

I replaced my car with new brakes last year and I am already having to replace them again. Also, it keeps dying out. I seen on here there was a recall with the electrical system. I think the issue is still at hand. I've spent money on trying to figure out what is wrong with my car and the mechanics here in my area cannot figure it out. This car has so many issues especially due to electrical issues. Also, my car will jerk sometimes when I am at a stop light. I can't figure out what is wrong with it. I am thinking of getting another car because there is so many issues with this one.

Electronic dppr locks do not operate properly. The doors fail to unlock about 90% of the time with the exception of the drivers door. This is especiaaly problematic in the rear seats where manual unlocking is not easily seen or activated by passengers which could cause elays ehen emergency exit is required. Dealer stated he could not correct although they did confirm the problem.

The car blows warm to hot air out of the driver's side and cold air out the passenger's side when you have the controls set to heat. I have had the heater core and coolant system flushed as well as had thermostats, water pump replaced but the issue still persists. When set to defrost only the driver's side defrosts. The passwnger's side gets worse. This issue is current and always happening no matter the state of the vehicle. If it is moving or still it does not blow heat out the pasenger's side. This is a safety issue because the car windshield reduces visibility because it will not defrost and because of the heightened hypothermia risk. Yes.

I bought a 2011 Dodge Avenger mainstreet three years ago. At 13k miles my car started giving me problems with the electronoc throttle control. The car basically loses power with no warning. I have taken the car to my local Dodge dealer 5 times since February 2013 due to this problem and on two occasions they said they replaced the etc. Recently the car was giving me problems again with the etc where the car would lose power with no warning. I took it to an independent dealer less than two weeks ago and got the etc replaced and installed. Yesterday my car gave the same problems where the car would lose power. I know there is an investigation into the tipm of Chrysler vehicles and I have no doubt that the problems with my car are related to the tipm. If it was just the etc my car would be good but keep in mind the part was replaced three times and the car gives me the same issues. I need advocacy for this issue. I fear my car may be a lemon.

During 2013 my car would give me problems starting in cold weather. To remedy this I would turn on the lights before turning on the vehicle. It worked. I brought it to the dealership while I had warranty for a check up and they told they spotted no problem codes and the car was fine. September 15 2014 it began to get chilly again. As I was driving, going uphill, the lightning bolt came back on and my car dropped to 20 mph immediately. I referred to the car manual and found this is called a etc issue, electronic throttle control. I've brought this attention to dealership while my warranty was still on the car, and even tho I stated the issue was there, it wasn't attended to because no problem codes came up. My local mechanic ran a diagnostic test and still no codes come up. Aside from this, there is a heavy knocking noise when my air conditioner is turned on for some time. Idk what this issue is but again I had brought it up while I was under warranty and nothing was done.

I was driving my 2011 Avenger, and whenever I would go over 2000 rpm my electronic throttle control light would come on.

There is a sizable ater leak entering the trunk lid inner panels, originating from the lack of a proper seal around the third high brake lite assembly( chmsl). The problem has been reported to Chrysler since the 2008 model year of the Avenger, stratus, sebring and pt cruiser. They are currently using the same trunk lid and light assy, and the problems persist. Chrysler has admitted knowledge of the problem and assigned a TSB # 23-016-12 in this service bulletin it states the corrective measure for dealers is to remove 2 rubber drain plugs, and nothing else. So the water still enters between the outer and inner trunk lid assy, exits through the latch assy, and now the removed drain plugs also. Unfortunately, the simple fix Chrysler has assigned is a hazard for 2 reasons. 1/ water is in contact with power terminals on the trunk lid latch assy, 2/ water is not completely removed, and residual plus water coming out of latch assy sits and stagnates, and promotes the growth of mold spores. I have contacted Chrysler, there is an open case history, and they choose to do nothing. I informed them I would take this action.
