2008 Dodge Avenger

2008 DODGE AVENGER STALLS OUT WHEN WET OR COLD OUT. HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES AND MY HUSBAND HAS ALMOST BEEN HIT. MECHANICS CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. JUST HAD A SENSOR REPLACED AND TIME UP BC WE SOLD THE CAR AND BOUGHT A NEW CAR BIT A FAMILY MEMBER BOUGHT IT AND IN AFRAID NOW I'M READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS! WE WANT TO GET THIS FIXED FOR HER AND WHY IS THERE NO RECALL???? THESE COMPLAINTS ARE ON SO MANY FORUMS HELP PLEASE??!

THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS THE HORN RANDOMLY HONKING WHICH PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE TO THE POINT IT WAS BLARING AND WOULD NOT STOP WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. WE HAD THE HORN HARD WIRED BYPASSING THE T.I.P.M. RANDOMLY THE THROTTLE IS UNRESPONSIVE AND THEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT RESTART FOR A WHILE. WE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING A LIGHTNING BOLT IN PARENTHESES SYMBOL POPPED UP ON THE DASH. CAR BEGAN IDLING AND WOULD NOT EXCEED 10 MILES PER HOUR. THEN THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND LIGHTS BEGAN TO DIM. SO I PARKED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. THE CAR WOULD NOT START BACK UP. I GOT IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BATTERY. SO I GOT IT REPLACED, THAT SAME DAY ABOUT 6 HOURS LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. I RESEARCHED THE SYMBOL AND A LOT OF RELATED STORIES WERE DISCUSSED. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOME NEED FOR A RECALL BECAUSE OTHERS WEREN'T AS FORTUNATE AS US. PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE LIVES ARE AT STAKE. THANK YOU

MY DODGE AVANGER THROTTLE BOTTLE CONTROL KEEP GOING OUT. I CONTACTED DODGE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE FIRST TIME THEY ADVICED ME TO TAKE IT TOBTHE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED IT BUT I STILL HAD FEES TO PAY. THE CAR HAD THE SAMW ISSUE A YEAR LATER I JUST GOTBIT FIXED. IT HAS NOW DID THE SAME THING , I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. THE FLASHING LIGHTNING BOLT ON MY DASH CONTINUES TO FLASH. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND WHEN I CONTACTED THEM THEY DID NOTHING. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVERS WINDOW NOT GOING BACK UP. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS AS WELL. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECOUSR WHILE I WAS DRIVING GOING PAST AN INTERSECTION THE CAR SLOWD COMPLETED DOWN AND THEN THE RED LIGHTS OF A LIGHTNING BOLT FLASHED.

I WAS ON HIGHWAY I-80 AND THE HORN STARTED GOING OFF ON ITS OWN. ENGINE STARTED TO LOSE POWER BUT THANKFULLY IT KEPT GOING AND I MADE IT HOME. WENT TO AUTO SHOP AND THEY DISCONNECTED BOTH HORNS. A WEEK LATER, AFTER I STOPPED, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART IT, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. HAD THE BATTERY JUMPED AND THE CAR STARTED. A WEEK LATER THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. STOPPED AT RED LIGHT ON VERY BUSY STREET AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO MECHANIC. IT STARTED. MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. TESTED THE BATTERY AND IT WAS GOOD. DROVE CAR HOME. 4 DAYS LATER CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WAITED 15 MINUTES AND ENGINE STARTED. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE! I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL STOP. THIS VEHICLE IS HAZARDOUS AND COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT!!!

I BROUGHT A 2008 DODGE AVENGER IN MARCH 2016 AND SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT DID IT SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING TRYING TO START IT AND WHILE IN REVERSE. I NOTICE THAT WHEN IM DRIVING AND I SLOW DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP IT WOULD KINDA SHAKE AND I NOTICE THAT THE RPM SIDE DROPPED BELOW 0 AND THE CAR STALLED. IF I CAN FEEL IT IN TIME I WOULD TAKE MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE AND LET IT GO UP TO 1 AND HIT THE BRAKE AGAIN AND SOMETIMES THAT WOULD HELP. I HAVE BEEN TO MECHANIC SHOPS AND BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WASNT ON IT WAS NOT READING ANYTHING AND IVE CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED WHICH IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE I HAVE A NEW BORN AND IT STALL ON ME IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY WHILE AN 18 WHEELER WAS BEHIND ME SO YOU CAN IMAGINE MY NERVES. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND I CAN'T SPEND A LOT OF MONEY PAYING FOR THE NONE EXISTING PROBLEM AS I AM TOLD. BECAUSE I CANT AFFORD IT PLEASE HELP!!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR. SOMETHING IS WRONG AND I CAN'T KEEP PAYING PEOPLE TO DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION. THIS IS SCARY, THANKS IN ADVANCE

CAR STOPS WHILE DRIVING AND MAY CRANK AFTER 5-15 MINUTES OF WAITING, HORN BLOWS FOR NO REASON, WIPERS MALFUNCTION. PROBLEM CAUSED BY TIPM.

THANKS. THE CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING MOST OF THE TI,E. THERE HAS BEEN TIMES WHEN THE CAR CUTS OF BEFORE THE CAR IS EVEN MOVED. IT DOSENT MATTER HAVE LONG THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN. THE HORN HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED BECUSE IT WOULD NOT STOP BLOWING. THAT WAS THE FIRST THING THAT WENT WRONG BEFORE THE CAR STARTED GOING DEAD. THE NEXT SIGN WAS THE CAR STARTED JERKING BUT THEN WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MPH. I DONT KOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT THE CAR DIDNT DO THAT LONG. FROM THEN ON THE CAR GOES DEAD WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE.
