VEHICLE IN MOTION MOST ON HIGHWAY AND SOMETIMES CITY STREETS. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL BOG DOWN USUALLY BETWEEN 40--65 MPH WHEN ACCELERATING AND ALSO WHILE NOT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP THEY KEYED IT (TEST) AND SAID MANIFOLD SENSOR OR SENSOR ABOUT $1500.00 REPAIR. GOT THIS FIXED AND CAR STILL DOING IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS THAT I KNOW OF. I DON'T DRIVE VEHICLE ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN IT GETS DROVE IT HAPPENS. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 2 WEEKS AGO. ITS WAS GOING ON AT ABOUT 50000 MILES

STARTED GETTING A OBD CODE 2017 AND 2004. AFTER REPLACING THE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL VALVE THE LIGHT STAYED ON AND NOW CODE SAYS THAT THE CIRCUIT IS HIGH IN BANK ONE. I TOOK OFF THE RUNNER CONTROL AND TESTED IT SO IT IS A GOOD PART,

THE 2008 DODGE AVENEGER HAD 6 RECALLS. MY 2009 DODGE AVENGER IS DOING EVERYTHING THE 08 WAS RECALLED FOR.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RPM REVVED TO EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND.

DAYTONA DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM & FIAT (1450 N TOMOKA FARMS RD, SUITE A, DAYTONA BEACH, FL 32124 386-274-0571) WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SUBJECTED TO AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE POWER TRAIN HOWEVER, THE DEALER DECLINED TO PROVIDE THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 191,336.

GOING HOME FROM WORK, APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR AND 15 MINUTES FROM MY JOB, AND TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40-42 MPH MY ENGINE JUST STOPPED....NO SOUNDS, NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING. JUST TRIED TO UP MY SPEED TO GO UP A VERY SMALL INCLINE, AND NOTHING...HEADLIGHTS STILL WORKED, NO POWER STEERING, NO BRAKES.......MANAGED TO PULL OVER.........SHAKING LIKE A LEAF ON A TREE, BECAUSE I AM 65 YEARS OLD, ALONE, NO FAMILY TO CALL, NO ONE.....AND THIS WAS A LITTLE AFTER 9PM AT NIGHT ON NOV 2ND. CALLED MY MOBILE MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND HE GAVE ME THIS INFO TO FILE A COMPLAINT. HE SAID THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. I WAS ON BUFORD HWY <FOUR LANE ROAD> SPEED LIMIT 45 MPH GOING STRAIGHT AND APPROACHING A RED LIGHT ON A VERY SMALL INCLINE.

THE 2008 DODGE AVENEGER HAD 6 RECALLS. MY 2009 DODGE AVENGER IS DOING EVERYTHING THE 08 WAS RECALLED FOR.

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF THE CITY ON A STREET THAT CHANGES FROM 25 TO 35 MPH, I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR STALLS AND THE ETC LIGHT ILLUMINATES. THEN WITH MORE FORCE ON THE PEDAL IT ONLY GOES UP TO 10 TO 15 MPH. THE CAR SHAKES AND BEGINS TO ACT WEIRD HARD TO STOP TO MAKE A TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. I'VE ALMOST WAS FORCED WHILE BRAKING TO PULLED IN FRONT OF CARS OUT OF MY CONTROL DUE TO THE JUMPING AND SHAKING OF THE CAR. I THEN LET IT TURN OFF AFTER PARKING. I SHUT OFF ALL ELECTRIC DEVICES RUNNING ON THE CAR. I THEN TURN OF THE FAN FOR AC AND HEAT. I THEN CONTACT A LOCAL INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN BACK WITH NO STALLING NO LIMP MODE BUT THE LIGHT WAS STILL ONE. ONCE IN THE SHOP HE RAN THE CODES ALL 4 CODES CAME ON FOR ETC BUT THE LIGHT THEN GOES OFF. THEN IT WAS CLEARED FOR A SOLID 30 MINUTES. I THEN DRIVE HOME FROM THE SHOP NO LIGHT UNTIL 5 MINUTES AFTER AND NO STALLING AT THE TIME AND PARKED MY CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY. I CALLED THE MECHANIC TO LET HIM KNOW OF THE PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED AGAIN. WORKING ON PRICE FOR ME TO REPAIR. I'VE SEEN POSTED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND HAPPENS RANDOMLY TO PEOPLE. I ALSO SEE THAT THE ONE PART WAS LATER UPGRADED. SUGGESTING THE ORIGINAL ETC IS FAULTY. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THAT THERE IS NO RECALL CURRENTLY BUT I MAY OR MAY NOT GET A LETTER IN THE MAIL. I ASKED IF THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION OR A RECALL GOING ON AND WAS TOLD THAT SHE WOULD NOT KNOW OF THIS INFORMATION. YET THIS WAS THE RECALL NUMBER FOR CHRYSLER. I WOULD NOT DOUBT THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS AND COVERED IT UP WITH THE UPGRADED PART TO HIDE THE FACT THAT IT WAS FAULTY FROM THE BEGINNING.

The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated while driving at various speeds in the rain and snow, the windshield wipers shuddered and stopped working. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that there was corrosion detected and that the wiper motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. While driving, the windshield wipers stopped in an upward position. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer, who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

I GOT THIS CAR MAY 13 2019 EVERY SINCE I HAD THIS CAR THE WIPER STOP WORKING WHEN IAM DRIVEING IN RAIN AND SNOW. I TOOK THIS CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP IN 2019 2020 AND 2021 AND THEY SEND ME HOME AND SAY THERE NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WIPER. NOW IT 7/2022 IT RAIN AND THE WIPER STOP AGAIN WE COULD GOTTEN KILL ON HIGHWAY FROM COLUMBUS GOING BACK TO SPITZER MOTER TOMORROW FOR THE 4TH TIME

The anti lock brake system malfunctioned, the ABS, ESP/BAS and traction control lights are on. It kicked a code C2116 which reads ABS pump motor supply low voltage. I took it to a brake shop and they said the pump motor needs replaces but I would have to find one since they don’t stock it. I call several Dodge dealers and was told the part is discontinued and no longer available. I searched on line for one and the only one available is a used one on eBay. Also if you research this it is a common malfunction on this year and other Dodge/ Chrysler vehicles. Anti lock brakes will not work until this is fixed and no parts available . Thank you

I HAVE A 2009 DODGE AVENGER THAT IS OPERATING UNSAFELY. IT CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN ITS SPEED WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR, AND DOESN'T SLOW UNTIL I PRESS ON THE BRAKES! IT ALSO TO LURCHES FORWARD WHEN AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFTING, CAUSING ME TO BRAKE EVEN HARDER WITH NEAR MISSES IN ALL OF THESE SITUATIONS. I INITIALLY WORKED WITH LA MESA DODGE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, BUT AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS, POOR CUST SVC AND NO RESOLUTION, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HINE DODGE IN MISSION VALLEY, CA. THE SERVICE MGR AND SVC ADVISORS HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE. ALL VERBALLY ADMITTED THAT THEY EXPERIENCED THE SITUATIONS I DESCRIBED ABOVE. THE VEHICLE OPERATION WAS RECORDED AND SENT TO A CHRYSLER SERVICE REP, WHO REPLIED THE "VEHICLE OPERATES AS DESIGNED." ALTHOUGH THE SVC ADVISORS/MGR HAS VERBALLY DESCRIBED THEIR EXPERIENCE TO ME, THEY HAVE NOT DOCUMENTED ANYTHING ON THE SERVICE SHEET. I HAVE VERBALLY STATED MANY TIMES THAT THIS VEHICLE "IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE" AND THE SERVICEMAN HAVE ALSO VERBALLY TOLD ME THEY AGREE "IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE" YET I AM EXPECTED TO PICK IT UP WITHOUT RESOLUTION. I AM DROPPING THE CAR OFF TOMORROW, AND WILL NOT PICK IT UP FROM THE DEALER UNTIL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! I AM TIRED OF DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, AND PUTTING MYSELF AND MY LOVED ONES IN HARMS WAY. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER TO GET THE ACCURATE DOCUMENTATION ON SERVICE SHEETS? I AM HOPING THAT THE LAST "RECORDINGS" TAKEN LAST WEEK WILL ACTUALLY PROVIDE SOME EVIDENCE OF THE "UNSAFE OPERATION" OF THE VEHICLE, BUT MY ONGOING NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE LEAVES ME WORRIED, AND LEERY THAT THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED IN 2010, AND THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE, AND MORE FREQUENT. I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS WHEN TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, AND THE CAR DOES NOT SLOW DOWN, AND THEN WHEN BRAKING, IT ACCELERATES WHEN DOWNSHIFTING. PLEASE HELP. I AM EXHAUSTED AND NEED ADVICE. *TR
