My car began clicking, approximately 30 seconds at a time, late winter early spring 2018-2019 when the heat was turned on. I came to realize the car did not need to be running for this to happen. During an oil change the following week I was told the clicking had to do with the vents and how common this clicking was and that repair eas not guaranteed. As I am the primary person/occupant in my car, I found out later the heat only produced warm air. This is my 1st time owning a Dodge and everyday my experiences with this car reaffirms I will never own another. I make it a point to tell any and everyone this fact. I have copied some of the complaints logged about this and my other issue, car stalling while turning left to enter the freeway with throttle indicator. I was on the side of the road alone and female until tow arrived at 9pm and the cost for an alternator which after reading this may not be the issue.... had I known how unresponsive Dodge is to their customers by putting their profit over our cost of repairs... again, I tell everyone what they are likely to experience if they purchase the Avenger. The complainants listed here and on other sites very likely agree. Attached pics were time stamped 6.39pm. I sat on the on ramp to the freeway approximately 3 hours.

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 tempuratures near or below freezing during cold weather (blowing cold air into the cabin).

Currently having an issue with heat not working on the passenger side of my 2013 Dodge Avenger. Cold air blows on the passenger side and only heat is blowing on driver side which impacts defrosting on my vehicle. This is very frustrating because I cannot see at times and also winter is coming and I need T keep my child and I warm. This issue has been reported several times by Dodge Avenger owners. What is it going to take for Dodge to recall this issue and fix it"?" ialso paid $1500 to have my tipm fixed in the vehicle because the horn was honking at all times of the day and night and while I was driving it.

The heater core is cold on the passenger side which is a well known and well documented issue with this car and other mopar makes/models. Dodge has admitted its a manufacturers defect but will not fix the problem. Not only is it freezing in my car but the windshield wont defrost on the passenger side of the front and side passenger side windows. The visibility is terrible and is likely to cause an accident.

Started with no heat on the passenger side, and now I have just warm air on the driver side. This issue is causing a visibility and safety issue because the windshield will not defrost. I have seen this same issue all over the internet.

No heat on passenger side thus no defrost when fogging

- Coatesville, PA, USA

Only the drivers side has heat... passenger blows cold air thus windshield does not defrost fully and interferes with visibility

Passenger side defrost/vent defects. The defrost and heat/air on the passenger side are not working due to a manufacturers defect. I cannot see when the heat outside the car is too high or low and the window doesn't properly defrost due to cold air only coming out of the passenger side. Only cold air blows from the vents on the passenger side in both heat/air and regardless of settings. This occurs stationary and in motion, on the highway and while turning.

2013 Dodge Avenger heater issue. Does not heat on right side. The center dash vent on the right blows warm but noticeably colder the. The left one right next to it that vent in the dash next to the door and the floor vent for the rear are not E en warm al all. Causes right side of windshield, right side windows and rear window to fog up while driving in cold weather. I have had the radiator and heater core flushed several times and even replaced, only a temp solution, about 1 week. I have replaces the heater control panel and door actuators, no help. In doing some research, internet and talking to repair shops and dealer service employees. This is a chronic design problem that there is no solid solution for.

The heat on the passenger side of my vehicle stopped working winter 2017. It started blowing out cool air. This has caused my windshield and windows to not defrost properly causing visibility problems. Fall 2018, my drivers side is now blowing out cool air. Again, causing an extremely serious visibility issue. This is a manufacturers default, not consumer.

HVAC system has problems. Driver side blows hot air but passenger side blows cold air. There is a lot of clicking behind the glove box. I have replaced the actuator once already. It did not fix the heat and cold issue. The passenger side blowing cold air causes the windshield to fog up and the passenger window to fog up. Becomes a safety hazard to drive. This happens while driving in town, on the highway, everywhere.

- Silver Lake, KS, USA

Passenger side blows only cold air. Windshield does not defrost on passeneger side causing issues not being able to see properly while driving. It was took to a shop to diagnose as a heater core problem. Was not able to get repaired due to repair cost bei ng extremly high.

- Holly Ridge, NC, USA

No heat on passenger side of vehicle. Cold air on passenger side when using defrost, so in winter months, passenger side of windshield remains foggy.

Tamara recall. Ok I have a problem with the heater core in my 2013 Dodge Avenger. I've taken it to the dealership and they tell me that the heater core is plugged after further investigation on the internet I learned I'm not the only consumer with this problem. The dealership tells me it a defect in the manufacturing of the heater core from the factory but no recall has been issued at this time and there is several complaints about this. I have heat on the drivers side but blows cold on the passenger side not allowing the defrost to melt the ice on the windshield. This is a very dangerous situation and could cause traffic accidents. Upon your investigation you will find its not just one make and model it's several and the manufacturer and the dealership know it a problem but will not correct it. I'm sending this message to see if there's something that can be done. Thank you in advance for your time.

I bought the 2013 Dodge Avenger in Jan. 2013. March 2013 came and my windshield wipers would start wiping do to the over cast and shadows. When I took it to Dodge they told me there was nothing they can do because it wasn't happening then in front of them. Then at 7500 miles in July 2013 my brakes started making loud noises. At first it was only when I backed up then come August it was all the time. After 5 visits of scuffing the roaders up they said if it happened again they said they would replace everything in the brake system cause there was a large amount of complaints in the 300 models, darts, and Avengers. First trip to the service department they said they replaced the whole brake system... brakes, roaders, and pads...(they stated their was scares in the roaders and it shouldn't of been that way with only 7500 miles) to the front and rear. They also stated they left my account open incase that didn't work. However that was a lie they only did the rear and that same day the front was so bad I couldn't drive it. 3 days later they got it back in to the service department and did the whole front system of the brakes. That worked for 1 week and I'm really mad. I have called 17 times left voicemails for the dealer ship manager and service department. My brakes now are sticking and still loud as ever. They still have not returned my call. I only have 18000. Miles on this car. I would like to have it fixed. This is not only me having this issue. Help us be safe recall for fix the problem please.
