When it rains I can not drive I bought the car a year ago in the car had the problem I didn kno at the time cause it was winter when I got it and I really feel in danger pleas help.

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.

A local autosho diagnosed the problem as the recall. The local dealership said they couldn't do anything until the fix became available in June, didnt offer to help get me into a safer vehicle. They just said nothing could be done at the time. Come June, the fix was pushed till August. I'm in touch with the dealership now, and they have said that parts are on hold, and they are waiting for Chrysler to release the parts. I have two young children in the car with me at all times. This car is not safe to drive, and Chrysler is not fixing the problem in a timely manner.

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.

While driving on the interstate doing about 65mph at 5am, I disengaged the cruise control on my vehicle, my car all the sudden turned off and lost complete power, including steering, brakes, and acceleration. The key was still in the on position. This is a major safety hazard! had I not been able to coast and engage the emergency break, I would have crashed and most likely suffered serious bodily injuries or death. This is the third time this has happened to me and I have read this has happened to others already as well. The entire electrical system failed because my engine turned off as well as the dashboard completely went dark to include headlights, turn signals, and the hazard lights. My vehicle has stopped in motion all the sudden for no apparent reason two times in one week. I made an appointment with the dealership to get the vehicle diagnosed but I am still afraid to drive to the dealership because it may happen again while driving either on the highway, interstate, or on any street. I am not 100% certain what caused the vehicle to turn off while in motion 3 times already in one week but it has created a major safety hazard for myself and other motorist on the highway/interstate. I believe it has something to do with the electrical system or engine because the lost of complete power is what occurs each time.

The vehicle is in good running condition. The only problem that I have is that it keeps making this "knocking" sound coming from behind the glove compartment. Its starts as soon as you turn on the a/c and it keeps making that sound periodically. Even when the vehicle is off and the key is not in the ignition.

2012 Dodge Avenger. Upon using the vent controls for the heater or air conditioner, a knocking noise progressed near the area of the glove compartment. Heating core failed & had to be replaced, also problem with fuel line, dealer has replaced heating core and fuel line. Knocking noise appears to be a common problem among Dodge Avengers, appropriate recall to fix heating/air compressor should be done.

My 2012 Dodge Avenger had recall for electrical system, airbags. I took it to the dealer and they performed recall "n38 reflash tipm. " before this recall was done my vehicle had no problems. As soon as I drove away from the dealer, my airbag light on dash was on, the left rear turning light and left brake light not working, right headlight not working, right front turning signal not working. I let the dealer know what was going on and they said I had "to bring it back in because it probably has electrical problem". This is more than just electrical problem, it is a safety problem. After having the lighting diagnosed and inspected, I am having to pay $1250 for tipm to be replaced for a new one. I am very upset and in disbelief that I have to pay this for a defective or faulty tipm module. I feel this defect of the tipm module should be also a recall and covered by the manufacturer.

On January 3, 2015, complainant was driving a friend to work at approximately 9 a. M. When complainant lost total control of his 2012 Dodge Avenger due to ice covering the entirety of the streets causing complainant to slide two (2) blocks towards an overhanging cliff where plaintiff had a head on collision with a hugh tree totaling his 2012 Dodge Avenger. At the instant of collision, there was a strange and pungent odor that permeated the interior of the automobile when both front airbags came out but failed to inflate and to offer any support. The airbags only stayed laying flat on the steering column and the passenger side dashboard. At the instant of collision, complainant struck his forehead against the steering column causing complaint severe neck trauma, severe spinal trauma, severe back trauma and severe hip trauma. . . Complainant was wearing his seat belt at the time and so was the passenger. At the time of collision the passenger struck her entire face against the passenger side dashboard where the malfunctioning airbag. . . . At no time did the airbags inflate and there was so sort of electrical problem before the airbags came out that gave off a very disturbing odor. . . The wrecked car is presently at the progressive insurance auto auction and the telephone number there is 724 443 7881. . . I am requesting that an investigation be done to determine that both front airbags did not inflate and offer protection. . . Both airbags appeared to be damaged. . . Also there was a recall on that product in early 2014 and complainant believes that whatever Dodge of monroeville did during this recall was not appropriate and was in violation of federal safety and warranty laws. . . .

Without cause, the airbag light came on. After investigating the issue, I find that my car had a recall for the tipm, which was not done. I then had the tipm reset, however it did not turn the light out. Then I had a diagnostic test done that came up with a code of b2208, which of course warranty doesn't cover. This module should be replaced by Chrysler for the 2012 Avenger as well.
