I HAVE A 2010 DODGE AVENGER WHICH I PURCHASE IN APRIL OF 2015. AND IN 2015 I HAD TO PUT IT IN THE SHOP TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE CONTROL BODY BECAUSE I WAS LOSING ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING. HERE WE ARE 1.5 YEARS LATER AND I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THAT WAS WORKING ON MY CAR, AFTER 2 UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT, THEY CONTACT A DODGE DEALERSHIP, WHICH STATED THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. AFTER DRIVING MY CAR FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE INDICATOR LIGHT BEGINS TO FLASH. I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST 20 MPH. OR IF I AM STOPPED, THE CAR JERKS FORWARD WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO, MY CAR WOULD NOT START. SINCE IT HAD ABOUT 55,000 MILES ON IT, I HAD A NEW 5-YEAR WARRANTY BATTERY PUT IN ON APRIL 5, 2015. HAD IT SERVICED ON APRIL 18 AND 25 BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START; AFTER HAVING TO HAVE IT JUMPED A FEW TIMES REPLACED BATTERY ON AUGUST 28. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES IT NOT STARTING, TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP ON OCTOBER 29, 2015 AND THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AGAIN. ON DECEMBER 1, 2016, IT WOULD NOT START, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS CORROSION. WOULD NOT START DEC. 5, DEALERSHIP SHUT THE A/C COMPRESSOR OFF ON DEC. 6. FEBRUARY 12, 2017, MY CAR WOULD NOT START, ONCE JUMPED, DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS NOW. WHEN I AM HOME, I ALWAYS KEEP MY CAR IN A GARAGE EVERY NIGHT. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, LIVE ALONE, AND EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE IT HAS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A REPUTABLE MECHANIC 3X AND THE DEALERSHIP 4X FOR THIS ISSUE.
