Default 2011 engine replacement not staying cool

I have a 2011 avenger and just replace the engine do to a factory defect in the heads. The dealer has replaced everything including heads twice, block twice, thermostat twice, radiator, oil cooler, and everything else you could possibly imagine but under strain, i.e. Fast starts or to pass the engine heats up 30* or more. This is not right to me because before it never seemed heat up.

Phatymattymcgee,

Has the dealer been able to duplicate your concern? What have they said regarding the issues you are experiencing?

If you would like additional assistance reviewing your engine inquiry please PM me your VIN# and the name of your servicing dealer.

So you problem is no heat? Probably the problem is the heater core.

Angry harmonic balancer bent

My wife has a 2011 Avenger Mainstreet, She told me that there is alot of noise coming from the front right side of the vehicle. I took a look and the belt is frayed on one side and the harmonic balancer is wobbling. Taking it to the dealer this week to have them check it.
