THE CAR HAS A TREMENDOUS DELAY WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL FROM ANY SPEED. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME A FEW ACCIDENTS ALREADY WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTIONS THAT HAVE NO TRAFFIC SIGNALS. THE VEHICLE FINALLY REACTS AFTER A SECOND OR TWO OF HAVING PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE PEDAL IS PRESSED SO FAR BY ME ALREADY THAT IT ENDS UP ACCELERATING INCREDIBLY ABRUPTLY THAT IS ALSO DANGEROUS. SEEMS TO BE A COMPUTER ISSUE BECAUSE THE HORN ALSO HAS THE SAME 1-2 SECOND DELAY BEFORE IT FINALLY BEEPS AFTER YOU PRESS THE HORN PAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. ALSO WHEN YOU GO TO TURN THE CAR ON IT SUFFERS FROM A 1-2 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE STARTER BEGINS TO CRANK THE ENGINE OVER. ITS LIKE THE COMPUTER IS SOOOO SLOW TO REACT TO COMMANDS BY THE DRIVER AND THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN IT AFFECTS THE GAS PEDAL ACCELERATION REACTION TIME AND THE HORN PAD REACTION TIME. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS SINCE I OWN THIS VEHICLE AND WILL END UP SELLING IT IF THE DEALER CANT REPAIR THIS EXCESSIVE COMPUTER REACTION ISSUE. WHEN I SPOKE TO A DEALER ABOUT THIS THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE THIS LONG REACTION TIME AND IT WAS DONE BY CHRYSLER FOR "SAFETY REASONS" WHICH MADE NO SENSE TO ME THAT TAKING AWAY DRIVER CONTROL OVER ACCELERATION IS ADVANTAGEOUS OR "SAFE" IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.. IT HAS CREATED AND PUT ME IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS ALREADY SINCE I DON'T FEEL I HAVE CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR SINCE IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. THE SAME APPLIES TO THE HORN DELAY AFTER YOU HIT THE HORN PAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL, WHAT "SAFETY REASON" COULD THAT JUSTIFY THIS CAR HAS TO GET THESE ISSUES RESOLVED TO PREVENT FUTURE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THESE PROBLEMS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE COMPLAINTS. *TR

I HAVE PURCHASED 3 DODGE AVENGERS 2010 AND 2011. EACH OF THE CARS ARE DOING THE SAME THING STALLS WHILE DRIVING I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN THE CARS BACK TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS 5 TO 6 TIMES AND THE TECH COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND BEGAN TO PRESS THE GAS FROM THE LIGHT AND IT TURNED OFF THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT US. I WAS DRIVING GOING 10 MPH AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. I WAS IN A SCHOOL ZONE. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND IT STALLS. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND THIS AND THE TECHS ARE OBLIVIOUS ALSO. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH AND I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR. *TR
