general problems of the 2010 Dodge Avenger

The transmission began slipping on Saturday, July 23, 2022 with 120,000 miles on the odometer. The car was driving normally then suddenly went into neutral causing it to slow down and back up traffic until I manually changed to a lower gear. The car was also doing this change to neutral on its own while I was trying to park the car and then when I went back to my car to pull out of the parking space, it took several attempts to engage the gears to move. I limped home with the car and got it parked in my driveway. The transmission fluid reading was normal. The car started doing this shift change to neutral without warning.

I was reversing out of a parking spot and when I tried to go forward, the car kept wanting to go in reverse. The shifter then became stuck in park and would not move to another gear. I was in the middle of the road now blocking traffic. The dashboard still showed I was in reverse even though the shift lever was stuck in park. I was forced to keep reversing until I found a safe spot to park. Later I looked up this problem on youtube and found many videos posted with my same problem with the stuck gear shift. I would definitely say this is a manufacturing defect that needs to be recalled on all versions of the Dodge Avenger car.

Crankshaft position sensor goes out car shuts off during driving in traffic or at light without warning very dangerous, noticed other people with Dodge journey had same issue please help. Happened usually when in motion.

Vehicle is stuck in park on the gear shift used troubleshooting with the pink thing in the console to shift gears however the dashboard is reporting that the car is in neutral the car will not drive anywhere from research we have found that this is an ongoing Dodge problem not necessarily with the 2010 but with all the other Dodges. Stuck on the side of the road not able to go anywhere as car is stuck in park and showing neutral we were able to shift the car from park to other gears still reported in neutral.

While driving at about 35 miles per hour, I lost speed down to about 15 miles per hour. I had to stop, turn off the engine and restart. The issue did not reoccur, but there have been a few more times when the acceleration has decreased and then just started again and I took off faster than I wanted to go.

The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, the etc warning indicator illuminated and the gas pedal was depressed but the vehicle did not accelerate over 15 mph. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The mileage was approximately 94,000. Sg.

The electronic throttle light came on and the car would not go over 15 miles per hour. I pulled over, turned the car off and it restarted. The light eventually went off and kept coming back on with the car not being able to accelerate over 15 mph. I took it to the Dodge dealership today and they stated that the throttle body needs to be replaced. The cost of the part alone is $257. 00 which is on back order. There are over 1200 on back order at this time. They also checked to see if this part would be included in the 100,000 mile powertrain warranty which it is not. This is part of the powertrain and should be included in the warranty through Dodge. There should also be a recall on this part. Evidently there are more people with the same problem since there are 1200 on back order.

Car was having trouble starting but would always go, then one day needed to have it jumped since battery died. Assumed it needed a new battery. Next day driving on the highway when car started accelerating sluggishly was struggling to reach 60mph and rpms were about 7-800 higher than when normally at that speed. Called local Dodge dealership to schedule repair and the service tech stated that they had numerous problems with throttle body. After checking this websites complaints and recalls section I see dozens of similar complaints where the throttle body was the core issue. There should be a recall since failures are nearly identical with this model.

I just began having this problem and I am very concerned. There is not a recall yet, however I am hoping with taking the time to report my concerns and problems there will soon be a recall. After about 45 minutes to an hr of driving my vehicle there becomes a clunking noise on the left front end of my car. You can feel the noise/malfunction in the left lower part of the steering wheel while driving. Steering feels shaky and unstable. My vehicle is maintained monthly at the same place each month. The longer you drive the louder the clunking sound. After, realizing this problem was not going away and could become very serious I took it to my local Dodge dealership and was told that there is not a recall issued for this problem and it would cost me about $600. 00 d/t also telling me warranty would not cover it. After, extensive research I have learned that Chrysler themselves have placed a concern in regards to this problem, however are not issuing a recall for this problem and that this is only a problem with vehicles manufactured before 7/2010 which mine was manufactured 8/2010 and I am having this current problem. I am very scared that if this does not get recalled and fixed there are going to be bigger problems than just complaints. I have read several incident reports placed with NHTSA with the same exact problems. With that said why is there nothing being done about this and why should I pay $600+ to get this fixed when this is clearly a Chrysler/Dodge issue and conveniently warranty will not cover this particular malfunction. I have 2 young children and if something happens to us while driving my car after numerous reports have been placed there will be problems bigger than a recall. I am very disappointed in Chrysler/Dodge and not sure that I would buy another Dodge vehicle after this.

Driving approximately 30 mph the vehicle stalled briefly and when the gas pedal was pushed did not accelerate. Immediately following the lack of acceleration the electrical indicator light appeared. The car was driven approximately one (1) mile and parked at no time did the vehicle accelerate to a speed higher than 15 mph and the indicator light continued to be present. Once the car was parked a call was made to a local Dodge dealership and an appointment made to immediately take the vehicle in for a diagnosis. The vehicle was driven approximately 10 miles to the dealership at no time did the electrical indicator light appear and the vehicle accelerated without incident. Upon examination of the vehicle it was determined that the issue was with the throttle body which was repaired. This was the second incident in which the throttle body was replaced approximately six (6) months earlier the vehicle experienced the same issue. . . While driving 35 mph the vehicle lost power and refused to accelerate the vehicle was towed into the dealership and upon examination it was determined that the throttle body needed to be replaced. Please note that both times the vehicle was taken to the same dealership for repair.
