2010 Dodge Avenger

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER CABLE BECAME LOOSE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS AND THE VEHICLE BECAME STUCK IN TRAFFIC. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND RECONNECTED THE CABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FIVE STAR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF MACON (3068 RIVERSIDE DR, MACON, GA 31210, (478) 345-8899), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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.
