6.1.17 AT ROUGHLY 7:50AM, MY 2014 DODGE AVENGER LX WITH RALLYE PACKAGE COMPLETELY SHUTOFF WHILE DOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS - 70MPH CRUISE, FLAT LAND. POWER STEERING WAS GONE AND THANKFULLY NO OTHER CARS WERE ON THE ROAD. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED TO CONTINUE ON MY WAY TO WORK. OVER THE PAST YEAR, WE'VE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS ISSUES SUCH AS: RANDOM ACCELERATIONS WITHOUT CAUSE, DUMMY LIGHTS FLASHING OR COMING ON AND THEN DISAPPEARING ON THEIR OWN, ACCELERATION ISSUES WHERE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 40, ETC. ISSUES HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE REPLICATED AND HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THAT PURPOSE AS I HAD A FRIEND EXPERIENCE THE SAME AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HER THEY COULDN'T RECREATE SO THERE WAS NO ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 6.5.17, AND I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER REGARDING THE ISSUE SO THEY CAN GET A CASE MANAGER ASSIGNED. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING MYSELF OR MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE, AS I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE WITHOUT REMEDY.

NO FUEL TO RUN OVER 10 MILES AN HOUR. THIS SEAMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH DODGE AVENGERS I HAVE CHECKED OUT

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL IS NOT WORKING MY CAR LOSES POWER AND WON'T GO OVER 25 MPG IF THAT WHICH COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT IF I AM DRIVING ALONG THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT LIGHT WITH TWO LIGHTING BOLTS COME ON AND THE POWER GOES. I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND WONDER WHY DODGE IS NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THEY MUST KNOW BECAUSE THIS PART IS UNDER WARRANTY FOR ONLY THREE YEARS AND THAT IS WHEN IT GOES IS AFTER THREE YEARS WARRANTY IS UP. I LIKE DODGE AND WILL PROBABLY KEEP BUYING THERE BUT I WISH THEY WOULD LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT THEY COULD GAIN A LOT MORE LOYAL CUSTOMERS IF THEY DID. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN IN DRIVE OR DRIVING SOME WHERE AND IT WILL NOT GO UP HILLS AT ALL STALLS OUT WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BACK IN OCTOBER 2016, IT IS NOW THE END OF JUNE 2017 AND HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING BACK. I THINK THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN REMENDIED IN A PROPER AMOUNT OF TIME. MY FAMILYS SAFTY IS AT RISK.
