2011 Dodge Avenger visibility problems

Filed Dec 16, 2025 · Visibility · NC

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 affects visibility and passenger safety by failing to defrost/defog windows and keeping cabin temperatures near or below freezing during cold weather (blowing cold air into the cabin).

Heater on the passenger side of the vehicle blows out cold air while driver side blows out hot air like it's supposed to. By having cold air being blown out, this causes the windshield and windows on the passenger side of the vehicle to fog up causing visibility issues.

Hot air from drivers side and cold air from passenger side. I live in maine. I had a couple rough winters because we couldn't find out what it was. I found out what it is but I can't find a garage to put it in. This is a server visibly concern. The trunk and inside the car leaks above the windshield causing the car to smell musty and cause mold. Above the windowsheid where it leaks is causing Moisture inside and making the visibility almost impossible at times. This car has had two owners with less then 100,000 miles. Family owned

I have never received a recall letter but there are several that are open. This VIN is also on the buyback list and I've called two local dealers to ask about it and they won't give an answer but 'we can trade in'. I've also call fac. I bought it certified used.

All the sudden my dash defogger on passenger side and passenger defogger are blowing cold air and drivers side is warm. Googled issue and it seems to be a big thing

Car has no heat on passenger side and a little on the drivers side. In my investigation the heater core from the factory has some bad spots on the inside that cause metal to build up inside heater core causing this issue. In the winter makes it sometimes impossible to see out the front windshield because it will not defrost the winshield. I think this is a safety issue that should be covered under a recall by dodge. It happens when the car is driving on any road. This is an issue known by dodge and they dont want to do anything about it.

Right side defrost doesn't work causing little to no visibility and poses a safety concern. Dealership said blend door actuator was bad. Replaced and still nothing. After researching found manufacture defect, the heater core clogs, warranty will not cover due to manufacturer defect and dealership denies any defect and wants full price to fix (over half the value of vehicle) I refuse to let my children ride in this vehicle during winter or cold weather!
