I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY, GOING ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT ON MY DASH CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. ONCE I SHOWED TO A STOP I CUT THE ENGINE OFF, WHICH STALLED AND SHOOK WHILE IT TURNED OFF. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON, AND AFTER A QUARTER MILE THE RED LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD TO RESTART THE PROCESS. HAD A MECHANIC READ IT WITH A COMPUTER BUT NO ERROR CAME UP, AS THE LIGHT WASN'T ON AT THE MOMENT. ON THE WAY HOME IT CUT OFF AGAIN.

THERE ARE TWO EXISTING RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I HAVE CONTACTED MOPAR ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ONE OF THE CARS AFFECTED. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE TRUE AND WANT SOMETHING TO BE DONE.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A CITY STREET THE CAR RED LIGHTNING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED TO REDUCE IN SPEED WILL NOT GO PASS 10 MPH, I LOOK ONLINE FOR PROBLEM WITH OTHER DODGE AVENGERS OWNERS STATED IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ITS HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE, I WENT TO MECHANIC THEY PUT IT ON COMPUTER RESET SETTINGS CAR IS RUNNING FINE, I THINK DODGE WILL DO THIS SO U NEED TO REPLACE IT, IF U LOOK ON INTERNET TO MANY PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM AND DODGE TAKE THEM FOR A RIDE OF 1000 OR MORE I WILL LIKE THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

MY VEHICLE HAS AN AIRBAG RECALL AND THERE CURRENTLY IS NOT REMEDY TO FIX THE ISSUE...
