TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR STARTED TO FLASH, A CHIME SOUNDED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO A PARKING SPACE, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED REGULARLY FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND THROTTLE BODY INJECTION UNIT FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

FOR MONTHS NOW MY CAR KEEPS STALLING I HAVE 62,000 MILES. I WILL BE AT A STOP LIGHT AND CAR WILL STALL. IT WILL START BACK UP AND THEN STALL AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE AND SAID NOTHING APPEARED IN THE CODES AS THERE WERE NO ISSUES. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY CLAIM THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND THAT THEY RELY ON THE DEALERS TO DIAGNOSE. TODAY MY CAR STALLED AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AND I SHUT IT OFF AND STARTED BACK UP AGAIN WHILE RECORDING IT ON MY PHONE WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BOTH CAME ON AND THE OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WOULD LIKE YOU TO PLEASE DOCUMENT AND LET CHRYSLER KNOW THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE READ MANY INSTANCES ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING AND CONSUMERS REPLACING THE ETC JUST TO HAVE IT ACT UP AGAIN. THE COST TO REPAIR IS SOMEWHERE AROUND 400-800 DOLLARS. AT 62K I FEEL THAT THEY PUT A VEHICLE ON THE MARKET AND NOW SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FROM THE CONSUMER TO INVESTIGATE AND ISSUE A RECALL.

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY . SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING IT WILL EXPERIENCE LOSS OF POWER AND OR ROUGH IDLING . SOMETIMES IT WILL SEEM AS IF THE GAS PEDAL IS BEING PRESSED ON ITS OWN . SOMETIMES IT WILL LOSE POWER AND ONLY DO 10 MPH EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED . SOMETIMES THE CAR DIES COMPLETELY . USUALLY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN WILL SOMEWHAT FIX IT WHERE IT WILL AT LEAST DRIVE .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 76,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AROUND A CURVE, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT ROLLED OVER FOUR TIMES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD AND BACK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING FACILITY WHERE IT WAS DEEMED DESTROYED.

I DRIVE A 2010 DODGE AVENGER AND HAVE A FEW PROBLEMS WITH IT... WINDOW DEFROST AND PASSENGER HEAT /AIR. WHILE EITHER IN MOTION OR WHILE DRIVING, NO HEATED AIR EXITS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER, NOR THE PASSENGER WINDOW DEFROST, LOWER AND CENTER CONSOLE VENTS. HEATED AIR ONLY EXITS THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER'S SIDE DASH VENTS. PROBLEM PERSISTS THROUGH ALL CABIN AIR MODES, AND CIRCULATIONS. THIS SAFETY ISSUE EFFECTS VISIBILITY AND PASSENGER SAFETY BY FAILING TO DEFROST/DEFOG WINDOWS AND KEEPING CABIN TEMPURATURES NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING DURING COLD WEATHER (BLOWING COLD AIR INTO THE CABIN). MY HAZARD LIGHT ALSO DO NIT WORK... HAZARD SWITCH INCLUDES THE HEATED SEAT BUTTON AND THE WHOLE THANG SEES TO BE DEAD AND NOT WORKING AT ALL. I'VE CHECKED FUSES AND ALL CONNECTION EVERYTHING IS OKAY BUT STILL NOTHING OUT OF THE SWITCHES AT ALL.
