U NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IT JUST STOPS AND U CAN PULL OVER AND CRANK IT BACK IT MIGHT CRANK RIGHT THEN AND IT MIGHT NOT WE HAVE HAD TO WAIT AS LONG AS AN HOUR NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS CAR IS BASICALLY SCRAP I LOVED MY CAR UNTIL THIS STARTED MY DADS A MECHANIC AND HE SAYING IT HAS TO BE ELECTRICAL HE'S SEEN TO MANY OF THEM BURNET UP NEEDLESS TO SAY IT'S AN EMERGENCY ONLY CAR I JUST WISH THEY WOULD FIGURE IT OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TOO

I NEED SOME ANSWERS TO THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY 2010 DODGE AVENGER. THESE ISSUES ARE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROADWAY, HIGHWAY VEHICLE JUST CUTS OF WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS WITH CARS GOING AT LEAST 45MPH FOLLOWING. VEHICLE HAS ALSO NOT STARTED ON OVER 15 OCCASIONS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO INTERN HAS MADE REPAIRS STATING THAT THE ISSUE WAS FIX, BUT WHEN I GET VEHICLE HOME AFTER AN ENORMOUS REPAIR BILL IT WON'T START AGAIN. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHY VEHICLE IS ABRUPTLY GOING DEAD WHILE DRIVING.THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. LAST OCCURENCE WAS IN OCTOBER 2019. VEHICLE IS STILL A REPAIR SHOP.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT 60MPH, MY GAS PEDAL SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING. MY RPMS ON THE DASHBOARD WENT TO 0(ZERO) AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN SLOWING DOWN. I BECAME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY WITH CARS HONKING AT ME. I COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BUT TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, THEN TURNING IT BACK ON. WHEN IT STARTED UP, I BEGAN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 1/2 OF A MILE AND IT STALLED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER, BUT THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN, AND SO DID THE BRAKE. IT'S AS IF I WAS FORCING THE CAR TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND THE BRAKE WAS FIGHTING AGAINST MY FOOT. I SAT FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND QUICKLY EXITING THE FREEWAY. I TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC, AND HE PULLED A CODE STATING IT WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. AFTER INSPECTING IT, HE RECOMMENDED A COMPLETE CLEANING OF IT. SO HE CLEANED IT. I WENT TO DRIVE HOME AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN, THIS TIME AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN. WITH CARS BEHIND ME HONKING, IT BECAME EMBARRASSING, SO I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND PUSHED IT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS MY PASSENGER STEERED THE VEHICLE. THEY NOTICED THE SAME DIFFICULTY IN STEERING AND THE HARD BRAKE. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED, DUE TO MY INABILITY TO DO SO DUE TO FINANCIAL REASONS. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY OTHER 2010 DODGE AVENGER OWNERS FACING THIS SAME SAFETY HAZARD. AS WELL AS THIS ISSUE, MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY 'HONK' ON ITS OWN. JUST THE OTHER DAY, WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, IT STARTED TO AGGRESSIVELY HONK. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STARTED DRIVING(THOUGH IT WAS A RED) AND ALMOST RAN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. A NEARBY OFFICER SAW THIS AND PULLED ME OVER. I WAS GIVEN A VERBAL WARNING AND TOLD TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. THE OFFICER WAS BEING KIND, AND TOLD ME, HE COULD HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AWAY FOR NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAVE 129,000 MILES.

THE TIPM IS CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO NOT WORK AND THE HORN TO BLOW SPORADICALLY WHETHER CAR IS BEING DRIVEN OR SITTING PARKED. THE CAR STILL WORK BUT IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE DUE TO THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I READ THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THE TIPM AND I AM HOPING THAT THERE IS A RECALL OR A WAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE SENSE IT IS FAULTY AND HAZARDOUS.
