1 Electrical Jack problem of the 2014 Dodge Avenger

Failure Date: 12/03/2019

I own a 2014 Dodge Avenger in which only cold air comes out on the passenger side. I took the car to the dealer and they told me what I had expected all along, a clogged heater core. I have done a lot of research on this and found out Dodge is and was well aware of this manufacturing defect. Clogged heater core because of faulty flushing of the water jackets on the v6 engine. I am very limited on driving my car in the winter because my windshield will not defrost on the passenger side, which is a hazard. This fault is not because of misuse of the vehicle but a manufacturing fault of Dodge. Guess what, they will do nothing about it. This is a safety issue that should be corrected by the manufacturer and not by the consumer. If Dodge knew of this defect and the consumer wasn't notified isn't it fraud. I need help. .

2 Electrical Jack problem of the 2014 Dodge Avenger

Failure Date: 11/15/2018

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. Flushing or replacing the heater core is probably not an option since it will just clog the heater core again and this is very expensive. Until enough people complain this will just keep happening until Dodge figures out how they can fix it permanently. This is dangerous in winter weather and it is a mystery, after spending 100's of dollars on a car you should expect to get what you paid for.

3 Electrical Jack problem of the 2012 Dodge Avenger

Failure Date: 07/03/2015

Driving down owen k garriott to take my dog to the vet and battery light came on and my car started slowing down and I saw jackson's on the left side of the road so I pulled in their and they hooked my car up to some kind of test that took an hour and gave me a ride to the vet. When I got back to jackson's I was informed tha 5tit was my battery and they had changed it. Well went to leave and a while after I was driving battery light came on and I was going to hang out a friends and when I went to leave my friends my car was dead. So I left it parked overnight there and the next day came and jump started it and was able to get it to my house. This was the 4th of July weekend and nothing was open. So Monday I called baker's alternator and they said to get it in. My car would not hold a charge and I had to have it towed. They said it was unusual that a car with this low of mileage to have alternator problems but they did their checks and found it to be that both my pulleys on the alternator to be worn out. It cost me $196. 00.
