Car is overheating rapidly, air is warm on one side, cold on the other. Engine will begin steaming almost as though it is about to catch fire and there is often times a smell like something is burning coming from the engine. If the car idles for even just at a stop light or the car is slowed down, the car begins to overheat rapidly. It has also been overheating while being driven at 70 mph. The fans are not always kicking in either.

My Dodge Avenger is at 58000 miles the heater core went out and my car overheated I've only had it for a year no reported accidents. .
On November 3rd my car over heated. I have to get it towed away to the dealership. Same dealership I bought my car from. After they diagnosed my car they said the hose broke and over heating melted my sensors. They asked me $773. 55 for repairing. On good faith I took my car from the dealership. Just after 2 weeks, a day before thanks giving my car over heated again. Again I have to get it towed away again to the dealer ship. My car has been in the shop for more than 12 days. At first they are saying that my gas kit blew and then later they said they have to replace my engine. My concern here is that why was it not done on the first attempt. I borrowed money against my 401k plan and I cant take another loan to get it fixed. My wife is stage 3 cancer patient. We do not have enough money. I believe renton car pros Dodge and Chrysler should be responsible for the repair. They should have fixed it on the very first time. They actually sold me a defective car. Which car really breaks down within 4 years.
While driving my car on the city street it began to overheat. I looked under the hood and discovered the hose connecting to the thermostat had fallen off. I then noticed the filler neck made of plastic had crumbled apart causing the hose to fall off which caused vehicle to overheat. Replaced the the filler neck and hoses and car is still over heating. I am having an estimate done on the vehicle tomorrow 9/12/2017. Once I have the estimate I will upload the paperwork.
