I own a 08 Dodge Avenger and had problems with the electronic throttle control system a year ago,I now have problems with a noise under the hood,I've been told it's the pulley to the alternator. I bought my car brand new. . If I knew I was going to have this much trouble I would of bought a foreign car. Also my sensor in my tire broke,took my car where I bought the tires,they replaced one sensor for free. . I don't know if the other 3 will later break. I would like to get the other 3 replaced for free.
My car horn goes off periodically and stays on when im driving or parked without me blowing it . Also my seat belt light comes on every time I turn on the vehicle . When im driving tge engine oil light comes on the wheel tighten up and the vehicle slows down and cuts completely off. I have been driving on busy streets when this happen as well as express ways. Once it cuts off if I sit and a couple minutes the car may start back driving like nothing happen. . . Usually. I sit for 30 minites before it start up. . I have taken it tp mechanica and its something with the electrical system no codes are coming up when I went to place it on a machine. . One mechanic said it my be the ignition not connecting . . Can this be investigated because this car is doing things on its own the horn will go off when im parking driving and the fuse was checked.

"takata recall " recent and ongoing problem with my 08 Dodge Avenger is the airbag light has been coming on randomly, from start up and while driving. Airbag has never deployed or no injuries to vehicle, has been on and off since last year. Oil pressure light was also on, got the oil pressure sensor replaced, would start off from start up and would come on and off consteadly. Front driversseatbelt also stopped retracting have recently had that changed as well. The tpms light has been on for about 2 years now, turns on at start up and stays on while driving. The engine light has also been on for awhile now too, from start up and while driving, just stays on, since a few months of vehicle purchase, was actually still making payments when I took it in for service for the engine light, came off and back on 2 months later, been struggling with it every since. Just have learned to live with the engine light on and tpms light on as well. Have had to change the alternator 3 times on this car already too. My car drives fine now, don't want to just keep ignoring the problem, would really like that fixed.
