2010 Dodge Avenger Speed Control & Cruise Problems

I KEEP HAVING THE VEHICLE FIXED AND THEN THEY KEEP TELLING ME NOTHING ELSE NEEDS TO BE FIXED WITH IT. IT KEEPS PULLINGN WHEN I COME TO A STOP AND THEN DECELERATES WHILE I'M DRIVING AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY OR PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND START THE CAR AGAIN. NO LIGHTS COME ON THERE'S OIL IN THE CAR I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE I JUST HAD TO BRAKE PADS FIXED EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES KEEP SQUEAKING THE ROTORS ARE NEW XCETERA. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME IT HAS DECELERATED I HAD TO HAVE A PART REPLACED A COUPLE YEARS AGO BECAUSE IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE'S ANY RECALLS ON THE CAR IN ORDER TO GET THOSE RECALLS FIXED. IT DID THE SAME THING LAST YEAR AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN THEY FIXED ANOTHER PART. IT'S NEVER THE SAME PART THAT THE MECHANICS FIX AND SAY IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

2010 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. *LD *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. CUTTER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF PEARL CITY (905 KAMEHAMEHA HWY, PEARL CITY, HI 96782, (808) 564-9640) DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

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 .

ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) HAS CAUSE MY CAR TO BE OUT OF OPERATION TWICE IN THE PAST MONTH ALONE. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED AND IT IS ALREADY BROKEN AGAIN WITHIN A MONTHS TIME.

THE ETC BODY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE WITHIN 6 MONTHS AND NOW NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN. THE CAR ACCELERATES ON IT'S OWN, STALLS OUT AND DOESN'T START CONSISTENTLY. THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING AND STALLED, THE CAR HAS BEEN AT A STOPLIGHT AND THRUSTS FORWARDS ON IT'S OWN, MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE
