2013 DODGE AVENGER — Complaint #2003448
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS filed June 28, 2024
NHTSA complaint #2003448 (ODI reference 11597497) concerns a 2013 DODGE AVENGER and was filed on June 28, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 25, 2023. The vehicle had 42,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Tennessee based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility:power window devices and controls, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same DODGE AVENGER cohort independently describe similar visibility:power window devices and controls failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2013 DODGE AVENGER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated that the power window switch on the driverâs side door occasionally failed to respond while depressed. The contact stated that the A/C system would blow hot air through the vents. In addition, the A/C was recently charged, and the spread pan was repaired months prior. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the Total Integrated Power Module (TIPM) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.
