Suppose that \(f(n)\) is a multiplicative function with \(|f(n)|\leq 1\), \(q (\leq N^2)\) is a prime number, and \(a\) is an integer with \((a,q)=1\). Let \(\chi\) be a non-principal Dirichlet character modulo \(q\), and let \(a_1,\ldots,a_t\) be pairwise distinct integers modulo \(q\) with \(t\geq 2\). The authors show that \[ \sum_{n\leq N}f(n)\chi(n+a)\ll\frac{N}{q^{\frac{1}{4}}}\log\log(6N) +q^{\frac{1}{4}}N^{\frac{1}{2}}\log(6N)+\frac{N}{\sqrt{\log\log(6N)}}, \] and \[ \sum_{n\leq N}f(n)\chi(n+a_1)\cdots\chi(n+a_t)\ll\frac{N}{q^{\frac{1}{4}}} \log\log(6N)+q^{\frac{1}{4}}N^{\frac{1}{2}}\log(6N)+\frac{N}{\sqrt{\log\log(6N)}}. \]
