Failure Date: 11/08/2018

The heat on the driver side is blowing out warm air while the vents above the radio and on the passenger side are blowing out cold air. Turning the car off or turning the air from cold to hot does not fix the problem. Defrost is not getting warm enough to defrost the windows.

2 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2008 Dodge Avenger

Failure Date: 12/05/2016

While driving a lightning bolt in parentheses symbol popped up on the dash. Car began idling and would not exceed 10 miles per hour. Then the radio turned off and lights began to dim. So I parked the car and turned it off. The car would not start back up. I got it towed to a local shop for a diagnostic and was told it was the battery. So I got it replaced, that same day about 6 hours later, the exact same thing happened. Thank god we were not on the highway. I researched the symbol and a lot of related stories were discussed. I believe there is some need for a recall because others weren't as fortunate as us. Please take this into consideration because lives are at stake. Thank you.

4 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2014 Dodge Avenger

Failure Date: 10/17/2015

I have a 2014 Dodge Avenger and on October 17 I fueled at the station and proceeded to travel on my way home. When I stopped at the light my son and his friend were talking. The light changed and I tried to go the car wouldn't go. It had shut itself off. Prior to this my son and I were going down the interstate and we could here a screeching whistling sound coming from the front of the car. Later that day the radio changed stations by itself. The changing of the station happened again on October 18 with me and my wife in the car. This prompted me to look into the recall factor and I found more complaints of the same type. If there is a problem someone needs to address it now before there is an accident and someone gets seriously hurt or dies. My situation could have been bad because people were expecting my car to start moving and I had no idea it wouldn't, and I was on an uphill incline. Please look into these problems and get some info out to the public.

5 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2014 Dodge Avenger

Failure Date: 03/04/2015

At first the buttons on the radio would only work part time. Eventually the buttons quit working all together. I can use the round buttons to turn volume up and down and change the station. Cannot use bluetooth or uconnect. Cannot power off radio at all. It even stays on after the engine is shut off.

6 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2008 Dodge Avenger

Failure Date: 07/18/2014

My 2008 Dodge Avenger has been intermittently losing rpms while driving for the past two months. The body shop initally told me that I needed my throttle body cleaned and a new battery. I paid for these repairs and the next day my car was doing the same thing. I am so afraid that I will be in an accident when the car loses power and I have to either continuously pump the gas pedal or put the car in neutral and then restart the car while it is still moving. I am only able to pull off the road half the time and the rest of the time other vehicles are behind me going at the speed that I was going prior to the car losing power. . . Sidenote there is power to the car itself because the radio or the ac will still be on but the engine gets no gas. I would really like for Chrysler/Dodge to let us consumers know what is going on because I see that a lot of people are experiencing the same issue.

7 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2008 Dodge Avenger

Failure Date: 03/01/2011

My 2008 Dodge Avenger first exhibited this problem in March 2011. I am the only owner and I bought it new. Especially in wet weather but occasionally in other instances, the engine will shut off but all electrical equipment- the radio, lights, dashboard and a/c will remain on. This occurs when braking at a stop light or slowing to make a turn- usually when at low speed as when pulling into a driveway. I then must put the car in park, turn off the ignition then restart the car and it always restarts immediately. I have talked to the dealership I bought the car at more than once about the issue but they say they cannot recreate the problem and so can't diagnose it, but this issue only occurs periodically in wet conditions so being able to recreate it at the dealership is unlikely. I would estimate it has happened around 15 to 20 times in the past 4 years. I have seen recalls for other Dodge and Chrysler vehicles that sound similar but none for the Avenger. I hope Dodge will issue a recall on this malfunction as it sounds like there are many other people with the same problem. I feel like this could easily cause an accident.

9 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 1997 Dodge Avenger

The front brake rotors warp and then a pulsation is constantly felt from that point on until resufacing of the rotors is performed. Original dealer was asked and service advisor stated it was the nature of the beast, they all do that. The last time the car was in for brake service, at sandy mckie Chrysler Plymouth Dodge in fox lake illinois, the warping returned within 1500 miles and the technician failed to tighten all 10 lugnuts holding the front wheels on. The radio decides not to accept c. D. S and was replaced twice. The sunroof had bad rattling and it took numerous trips to the dealer before they could cure the problem. Dealer claims sunroof shade was the cause of the noise. The fog lamps loose their seal and fill with moisture. Two occasions so far.
