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

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.

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.

The engine in our vehicle blew up, our safety as well as others on the road were affected, when the engine blew we were driving down the highway with traffic, it caused us to swerve into oncoming traffic. We had to pay out of pocket for a tow truck and had it moved to a safe location so as of today, November 02, 2021 at 9:45 pm, the vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer or manufacturer. There was a police man behind us who pulled over to help us, he did not inspect the vehicle, but, he did look to see what happened since he witnessed the incident. We have filed a claim with our insurance company,, however,, they are possibly going to deny the claim due to not covering engine failure even if it's a recall. There were absolutely no warning lamps, messages, or any minor or significant problems presented before the incident. We bought the car new in May 2013 and discovered the engines were recalled in December 2013 and we did not receive any type of vehicle recalls except for the airbags which the dealership replaced.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY CEL LIGHT CAME ON. I BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD O INVESTIGATE IT. MY CAR WOULD NOT RUN, AND I HAD TO GET TOWED HOME...... TURNS OUT THE MY UPPER RADIATOR HOSE WAS BROKEN WHERE THE FITTING GOES INTO THE HOSE. AFTER TRYING TO FIND THE FITTING I WAS TOLD I HAD TO BUY THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. CONFUSED AS TO WHY I HAD TO BUY THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY I LOOKED AT THE NEW PART AND IT HAD BEEN REDESIGNED WHERE THE FITTING IS NOW HELD ON BY A MORE PERMANENT HEAT-SHRINK LOOKING TUBE INSTEAD OF HOSE CLAMPS. WELL, SEEING THAT THE UPPER RADIATOR HOSE IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE RADIATOR I WAS ALSO A LITTLE CONFUSED AS TOO WHY YOU WOULD WANT CONSUMERS TO HAVE TO SPEND 100.00 FOR JUST THE PART , IF THEY ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE PARKED AND FIND IT, BUT IF THEY ARE UNLUCKY LIKE MYSELF THEN THEY ALSO RECEIVE A TOW BILL ON TOP OF THAT. SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN REDIESIGNED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL BECAUSE IF/WHEN THE FITTING DECIDES TO BREAK NOT ONLY DID MY CAR CUT OFF BUT THERE IS A BIG LIKLEYHOOD THAT IT COULD LOCK UP OR EVEN DAMAGE YOUR WATER PUMP , ENGINE, ETC.

OIL IS POOLING UNDER THE OIL FILTER/OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY. I UNDERSTAND FROM OTHER OWNERS ONLINE (YOUTUBE, AVENGER FORUM) THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. FOR OIL TO LEAK FROM THE COOLER WHOSE SEALS MAY BE BAD. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A ROCKER ARM (AT LEAST ONE) THAT IS WORN, PROBABLY FROM THE LACK OF SUFFICIENT OIL DUE TO THIS LEAK. I DISCOVERED THE POOLING WITH THE CAR PARKED, ENGINE IDLING, AND TRYING TO FIND THE CLACKING/TACKING/TIPPING NOISE WHICH FEELS (VIBRATIONS) LIKE IT MIGHT BE IN THE LEFT BANK OF THE V6 ENGINE. BOTH PROBLEMS REPORTED AS TYPICAL ONLINE AS NOTED FOR THE PENTASTAR 3.6L V6 WHICH I HAVE. TAPPING HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE MARCH 2020 AT LEAST. I DID A SECOND OIL CHANGE (PREVIOUS IN FEBRUARY) TO DETERMINE IF THAT WOULD HELP. NO.

A COUPLE YEARS AFTER I GOT MY CAR IT WOULD SHUT DOWN WHEN I WOULD COME TO STOP SIGNS AND NO MECHANICS COULD TELL ME WHY. NO LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. IT HAD SHUT DOWN ON THE FREEWAY BEFORE AND LET THE POWER SLOWLY DIE DOWN UNTIL THE CAR TURNED OFF. THAT TIME THE CAR ACTUALLY HAD A LIGHT WHEN I TRIED TURNING IT BACK ON. I ESSENTIALLY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE WITHIN A YEAR. THE CAR WOULD OVERHEAT AT TIMES BUT NO LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF SO I JUST COULD LET THE CAR COOL DOWN AND LET THE OVERHEATING STOP. FAST FORWARD TO REPLACING THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION AND MY CAR IS NOW IDLING HIGH EVEN WITHOUT THE GAS BEING TOUCHED. ON THE FREEWAY IT WILL GO TO AS HIGH AS 4000RPMS NOW AND IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO STOP WORKING AGAIN.

FOR THE PAST YEAR, MY CAR RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON FOR WHEN IT STALLS, SO I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. NO LIGHTS EVER APPEAR ON THE DASH. AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW MINUTES, MY CAR USUALLY STARTS BACK UP AGAIN. IN ADDITION TO THE ENGINE STALLING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STUTTER AND THE CAR HORN RANDOMLY SOUNDS FROM ANYWHERE BETWEEN A SECOND TO A FULL MINUTE. I'M NOT SURE IF THE TWO ISSUES ARE RELATED AT ALL, BUT I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND GOTTEN VARIOUS PARTS REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE TWO RECALLS FOR 2013 DODGE AVENGERS FOR AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE STALLING, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY 2013 DODGE AVENGER IS NOT INCLUDED--EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SAY HOW DANGEROUS IT IS FOR ONE'S ENGINE TO STALL OUT ON A HIGHWAY. MY HUSBAND ALMOST GOT HIT BY AN 18-WHEELER AS THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE HE WAS DRIVING IN FRONT OF IT. THE STEERING-WHEEL LOCKED, BUT LUCKILY HE WAS ABLE TO SOMEHOW STEER OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE SHOULDER. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR IN THIS CONDITION.

IALSO PAID $1500 TO HAVE MY TIPM FIXED IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE HORN WAS HONKING AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY AND NIGHT AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BACK ROAD COMING UP TO A SEVERE CURVE THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT PUSHED AL THE WAY DOWN BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO SPEED UP. AS I CAME UP TO THE CURVE I COULD NOT MAINTAIN THE CAR ON THE ROAD AND IT FLIPPED FOUR TIMES AND LANDED IN A SWAMP AREA IN ABOUT 2 FEET OR THREE FEET OF WATER. *TR

I HAD JUST MERGED ONTO 69 HEADING HOME FROM SCHOOL. IT WAS AROUND 930PM. I START TO PICK UP SPEED TO BLEND IN WITH TRAFFIC. THERE WAS A THREE CAR ACCIDENT THAT OCCURRED SO WE ALL SLAMMED ON OUR BRAKES TO AVOID FROM HITTING IT. UNFORTUNATELY I HIT THE BACK OF A FLATBED TOW TRUCK GOING BETWEEN 45-50MPH. TO MY SURPRISE MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. EVEN THOUGH I HAD A RECALL ON MY CAR A FEW MONTHS BACK FOR THE AIRBAGS NOT WORKING RIGHT, SO I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY RECALL FIXED. SO WHEN I GOT IN THIS HEAD ON COLLISION I WAS IN SHOCK MY AIR BAGS STILL DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM FAILED. THE TIRE LOW PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM.

WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS TO SPEED UP AND IT WAS AS THOUGH MY CAR WAS NOT RUNNING AT ALL. NOTHING HAPPENED. I COASTED TO THE END OF THE ROAD AND AT THE STOP SIGN I HIT THE GAS ONLY TO GET CHUGGING, SPITTING AND SPUTTERING SOUNDS AS THE CAR TRIED TO GO. I WAS ABLE TO GO A APPROX 1/4 OF A MILE AND PULLED INTO A PARKING AREA, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. THE CAR SEEMED FINE ALTHOUGH A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I WENT TO PASS A VEHICLE THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER AND THE CAR SMELLED AS THOUGH SOMETHING WAS BURNING. I HAD JUST FUELED THE CAR UP BEFORE THE INCIDENT. A WEEK LATER, I FILLED MY CAR UP AND ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T STALL I HAD THE SAME SITUATION WITH PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS TO PASS A VEHICLE AND NOT GETTING ANY POWER. I HAD THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE CAR WAS BOGGED DOWN IN THE MUD. VERY ALARMING FOR A NEW CAR. ALSO WHEN PASSING A VEHICLE AND GIVING IT THE GAS NOT ONLY DOES THE FRONT END OF THIS CAR LIFT UP IT IS ALMOST AS THOUGH IT FISHTAILS LIKE ON ICE IN THE FRONT END. VERY SCARY AND HARD TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHILE PASSING. *TR

CAR WAS PURCHASED AT THE END OF OCTOBER WITH 17 MILES ON IT. VERY SHORTLY AFTER, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALERSHIP TURNED THE LIGHT OFF AND IT CAME BACK ON A DAY OR SO LATER. THEY TURNED IT OFF AND SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED THE CAR. A WHILE AFTER NOISES STARTED TO BECOME MORE PREVALENT. THE MAIN NOISE IS COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AREA. IT HAPPENS WHEN THERE ARE SHARP TURNS, BACKING AND TURNING, AND IF ITS COLD. THE NOISE IS HARD TO DESCRIBE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A THUMP/CLICKING TYPE OF NOISE. VERY ANNOYING AND SOMEWHAT ALARMING SINCE THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT IN SEVERAL MONTHS...ANOTHER NOISE IS COMING FROM A LITTLE TO THE LEFT OF STEERING COLUMN. THIS IS MORE OF A FAINT NOISE. SOUNDS LIKE SMALL CLICKING. ONE OTHER NOISE CAME FROM THE CENTER OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING JUST DROPPED. LIKE SOMETHING JUST FELL DOWN. IT WAS VERY SCARY ACTUALLY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS WORKED FOR MONTHS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THIS WAS MY FIRST PURCHASE EVER AND I AM VERY UNHAPPY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I AM NOT CONVINCED. I THINK IT IS AN ISSUE THAT HASN'T BEEN BROUGHT UP VERY MUCH YET. THE CARS ARE BRAND NEW AND PEOPLE ARE STILL BREAKING THEM IN AND SUCH. I DO NOT FEEL AS SAFE AS I HAD IN THIS CAR. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE DODGE AGAIN. *TR
