2 days after purchasing my vehicle I was driving getting my speed up approximately 45 mph when the vehicle started to lunge forward and nothing was under the gas pedal and it stalled. I pulled it over to the side of the road. It started back up within 2 to 3 minutes. Drove fine for about another 20-25 minutes and then did it again. I put fuel treatment in it. It seemed to drive better the next day but then I did it again. I had it towed to a service department where they did a complete vehicle inspection- no codes were thrown $2500 later- picked up vehicle and later that evening it starts blowing smoke out from under the dash- Towed back to Service department- $300 later- pick car up and she breaks down within 10 minutes- TOWED AGAIN- ,$450 later ---- the vehicle loses all connection and stalls while going 45 to 70 mph- without warning - on the interstate- UNSAFE for EVERYONE on the road not just the dumb owner. WHY IS MY VIN NUMBER NOT ASSOCIATED TO ANY OF THE 5 RECALLS? 3 OF WHICH ARE DEALING WITH THE EXACT ISSUES I AM HAVING!!! I have spent every last penny I have on this and still ... Safety Hazard

The TIPM failed causing the car to shut off and not start again. The problem has been confirmed by Upstate Auto. There was a recall on the TIPM but it was not replaced instead some occupant restraints were replaced instead and now the manufacturer does not make the TIPM part anymore.

I urgently need your assistance regarding a critical and unsafe situation concerning the PCM/ECU. Recently, while driving, my car began to shudder as if it was on the verge of stalling. To add to the alarming situation, every warning light on the dashboard illuminated. The speedometer and thermostat suddenly stopped functioning, leaving me without crucial information about the vehicle's speed and temperature. This not only compromised my safety but also made it impossible to gauge the car's performance. In response to this hazardous scenario, I immediately pulled over to a stop. Sadly, the car shut off, and despite my attempts, it has refused to restart ever since. The inability to restart presents a severe safety issue and has left me stranded without transportation. Compounding this ordeal, several auto shops have tried to address the PCM/ECU connectivity issues with no success. This recurring problem, combined with the recent dangerous episode on the road, underscores the urgency for resolution. I am deeply concerned about the potential risks posed by the malfunctioning PCM/ECU and the compromised safety of both myself and others on the road. The inability to accurately monitor speed and temperature could have dire consequences if left unaddressed.

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated that the power window switch on the driver’s side door occasionally failed to respond while depressed. The contact stated that the A/C system would blow hot air through the vents. In addition, the A/C was recently charged, and the spread pan was repaired months prior. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the Total Integrated Power Module (TIPM) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

The throttle body system keeps failing and causing my ETC light to come on. This causes the car to lose speed and almost stalling while driving. Thus happens out if no where and while driving the car will automatically slow down on it own and won't let me accelerate which is very dangerous when driving on the highway or trying to make a turn and your car stops accelerating. I have had the throttle body replaced multiple times and it never resolves the issue.

There are days the car will not start. The engine will try and turn over but never starts. (2) There have been several times while driving the car that the car will just turn off while driving. The car is very difficult to steer to pull it off the road for safety. The car will leave me stranded for at least an hour before it will start again. (3) The heat on the passenger side only blows out cold air. There is no heat on that side. (4) The car will start clicking in the dashboard for no apparent reason. This is baffling cause I have no idea what it is or what it is trying to do.

Engine stalls when driving without warning due to a faulty Totally integrated power module which also causes a host of other electrical failures such as headlights not turning off, passenger window not rowing down, heat only working on high setting, windshield wipers going haywire, radio volume disappearing off the display and not working then reappearing and a total power dim and then surge while driving. This is the most dangerous car I’ve ever been in, and I’m disgusted to see that NHTSA already knows about these faulty units and Chrysler has already had lawsuits and recalls on these TIPM units in the Cherokees and Durangos.

I am always having to buy a starter or battery because it is always saying that it is bad. Also the throttle light is on now and it is making the car act up and it will not go.

On Monday, July 19, 2021, the car started randomly blowing the horn while I was driving to work. When I arrived in my parking garage and turned the car off, the alarm system started going crazy with flashers and horn going off like mad. It only stopped when I opened the hood and slammed it shut - not really sure that's what stopped it, but I didn't know what else to do. Random horn beeping continued on Tuesday, July 20, 2021. On Wednesday, July 21, 2021, no horn beeping, but the MOTOR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE BALTIMORE BELTWAY. I was lucky to be able to get the car off the road and onto the shoulder. I'm now afraid to drive it. Car has been at the mechanic all day Thursday, July 22 and today, Friday 23, 2021. The mechanic recommended I take the car to the dealer, but I was advised by the dealer that the part (the TIPM) is no longer available through Mopar. So now the mechanic is trying to figure out what to do.

Under the hood there’s electric tape holding wires together. Which is illegal. The check engine light came on since I got the car. I can’t fill my gas tank to fill cause the check engine light comes on. So it’s at half tank and can’t fill it to fill. My car did stall twice. Then there is hissing under the driver’s front side. The back end of my car feels like is going to fall apart this is a issue since I got the car. I have brought it to the dealership and they did nothing to fix any issues with the car since I got the car

NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS TURN ON. NO CODES ARE FOUND WHEN SCANNING THE OBD2. THERE ARE NO RECORDED MISS FIRES FOR ANY OF THE CYLINDERS EITHER. THIS IS AN ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION SPECIFICALLY WHEN DRIVING FULL SPEED ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS OR ROADS.

MY CAR BEGAN CLICKING, APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS AT A TIME, LATE WINTER EARLY SPRING 2018-2019 WHEN THE HEAT WAS TURNED ON. I CAME TO REALIZE THE CAR DID NOT NEED TO BE RUNNING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. DURING AN OIL CHANGE THE FOLLOWING WEEK I WAS TOLD THE CLICKING HAD TO DO WITH THE VENTS AND HOW COMMON THIS CLICKING WAS AND THAT REPAIR EAS NOT GUARANTEED. AS I AM THE PRIMARY PERSON/OCCUPANT IN MY CAR, I FOUND OUT LATER THE HEAT ONLY PRODUCED WARM AIR. THIS IS MY 1ST TIME OWNING A DODGE AND EVERYDAY MY EXPERIENCES WITH THIS CAR REAFFIRMS I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER. I MAKE IT A POINT TO TELL ANY AND EVERYONE THIS FACT. I HAVE COPIED SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS LOGGED ABOUT THIS AND MY OTHER ISSUE, CAR STALLING WHILE TURNING LEFT TO ENTER THE FREEWAY WITH THROTTLE INDICATOR. I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ALONE AND FEMALE UNTIL TOW ARRIVED AT 9PM AND THE COST FOR AN ALTERNATOR WHICH AFTER READING THIS MAY NOT BE THE ISSUE.... HAD I KNOWN HOW UNRESPONSIVE DODGE IS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS BY PUTTING THEIR PROFIT OVER OUR COST OF REPAIRS... AGAIN, I TELL EVERYONE WHAT THEY ARE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE IF THEY PURCHASE THE AVENGER.

I'VE HAD A FEW ISSUES RECENTLY WITH MY 2013 DODGE AVENGER OVER THE PAST YEAR. WHEN MY CHANGE OIL WARNING INDICATOR COMES ON, SOME OF MY WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS RANDOMLY COME ON AS WELL. THE FIRST FEW TIMES MY AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND STAY ON. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR FOR THE OIL CHANGE I ASKED THEM CHECK THE AIRBAGS BUT THERE WAS NOTHING INDICATING A PROBLEM AND ONCE THE OIL WAS CHANGED THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND STAY OFF. THE NEXT TIME IT WAS THE ABS & THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM; I GOT THE OIL CHANGED THEY CHECKED, NOTHING WAS FOUND AGAIN.

LAST NIGHT (5/09/18) CHANGE OIL WARNING INDICATOR CAME ON. THIS MORNING (5/10/18) I STARTED MY CAR (AUTOMATIC CAR STARTER) WENT OUT TO MY CAR AND MY TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT AND MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WERE LIT. I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, HOWEVER THE CAR WOULDN'T SHUT OFF RIGHT AWAY. WHEN I RESTARTED MY CAR THE LIGHT INDICATORS WERE GONE. BUT WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IF I WERE TO STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN MY CAR WOULD IDLE AND FEEL AS THOUGH IT WAS ABOUT TO SHUT DOWN SO I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK WHILE STOPPED. ALSO WHEN I HAD TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOP IF I JUST DROVE LIKE NORMAL AND TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE AND PUSH THE GAS THE RPM'S WOULD GO TO 7 THEN DROP AND MY CAR WOULD SHAKE. I HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE CAREFULLY THEN DRIFT, AND THEN PRESS GENTLY ON THE GAS UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PICK UP SPEED. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE IN WHICH I DRIVE MY CHILDREN, PLEASE HELP!!

THE VEHICLE'S HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND WARM AIR FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE SIMULTANEOUSLY. ALL VENTS ( FOOT AREA, FACE AREA, AND WINDSHIELD AREA) ARE AFFECTED.

PASSENGER SIDE AIR VENTS DO NOT BLOW HEAT WHILE DRIVER SIDE VENTS WILL BLOW HEAT. ALSO, WHILE THE HEAT MET IS ON AND DRIVING COMBINING TO A STOP THE HEATER MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND BUBBLING SOUND. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE TO FIX. THIS NEEDS TO GO ON REVIEW FOR A RECALL

I PURCHASED MY DODGE AVENGER BRAND NEW IN 2013. AFTER TWO YEARS OF HAVING MY CAR, MY CAR STARTED TO NOT WANT TO TURN ON. I WOULD CONTINUE TO TRY AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD WORK AND NOT OTHER TIMES. I WENT TO GET THE BATTERY CHECKED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE. I THEN WENT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I PROBABLY NEEDED TO GET A FUEL INJECTOR DONE SO I DID THIS AS WELL AND MY CAR STILL TIME TO TIME WILL NOT START. 2ND MY LEFT SIDE BODY PANEL ONE DAY JUST POPPED OUT OF PLACE AND WHEN I WOULD GO TO SHUT MY DOOR IT WOULD MAKE A CLICKING SOUND FROM ME TRYING TO SHUT IT. I WAS NOT IN A WRECK, THERE IS NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY MY PANEL POPPED OUT OF PLACE. 3. MY CAR IS NOW NOT BLOWING HEAT OUT (AND ITS WINTER RIGHT NOW) I ONLY NOTICED THIS ONCE IT BECAME COLD OUT AND NEEDED TO USE IT. FIRST COUPLE TIMES I TRIED RUNNING THE HEAT IT WOULD DO SO BUT ONLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS BLOWING OUT COLD AIR. I HAD A AUTO SHOP LOOK INTO THIS AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING EVEN WRONG WITH ANY OF IT. BUT THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC BEFOREHAND WHICH IS GOING TO COST ME $195 THEN I CAN GO FROM THERE.. I KEEP SEEING WHERE A LOT OF AVENGERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THERE HEATING SYSTEM.. COULD THIS BE ALL FROM A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH THE HEATER CORE??
