The airbag light keeps going on and off. A few times I would undo my seatbelt and then secure it again and it would go off. But it comes back on again. Brakes: I have had all 4 brakes replaced and my brakes still squeak and they grind. Ive had this done twice and it does not fix the issue. It makes a rattling sound when going uphill. And squeeks and grinds when coming to a stop. This has been going on for months.

Passenger side air vents do not blow heat while driver side vents will blow heat. Also, while the heat met is on and driving combining to a stop the heater makes a grinding noise and bubbling sound. I have heard this is a common issue that dodge refuses to acknowledge to fix. This needs to go on review for a recall

From the first time I bought this car the brakes would squeal when I would backup. I talked to the service manager at the dodge dealer where I bought the car about this problem and he said it was a problem with the avenger models from the factory. They tried to solve the problem by cleaning the brake pads but the problem continues down to this day. The chrysler company said they can't do anything about the problem. So basically I have to live with the problem. I got the bbb involved but they could not accomplish anything either. This may not be a safety issue, but it is certainly an irritation.
