Throttle Control Warning Light On problems of the 2010 Dodge Avenger

For months now my car keeps stalling I have 62,000 miles. I will be at a stop light and car will stall. It will start back up and then stall again. I took it to the dealer and they could not replicate and said nothing appeared in the codes as there were no issues. I contacted Chrysler and they claim they didn't know what the issue was and that they rely on the dealers to diagnose. Today my car stalled again I was able to get home and I shut it off and started back up again while recording it on my phone when the engine stalled my electronic throttle warning light and check engine light both came on and the off. This is very dangerous and would like you to please document and let Chrysler know this is a safety issue. I've read many instances online of this happening and consumers replacing the etc just to have it act up again. The cost to repair is somewhere around 400-800 dollars. At 62k I feel that they put a vehicle on the market and now should have enough complaints from the consumer to investigate and issue a recall.

The electronic throttle control light comes on and off randomly . Sometimes when driving it will experience loss of power and or rough idling . Sometimes it will seem as if the gas pedal is being pressed on its own . Sometimes it will lose power and only do 10 mph even with the gas pedal floored . Sometimes the car dies completely . Usually turning the car off and back on again will somewhat fix it where it will at least drive .

I have a 2010 Dodge Avenger which I purchase in April of 2015. And in 2015 I had to put it in the shop to replace the throttle control body because I was losing acceleration while driving. Here we are 1. 5 years later and I am having the same problem. According to the mechanic that was working on my car, after 2 unsuccessful attempts to fix it, they contact a Dodge dealership, which stated this was a known problem with the vehicle. After driving my car for more than 10 minutes, the electronic throttle indicator light begins to flash. I am unable to accelerate past 20 mph. Or if I am stopped, the car jerks forward while trying to accelerate. This is very unsafe especially when driving on the highway.

Takata recall 2010 Dodge Avenger. My lights blink on and off inside my car. My throttle control light came on. My car pauses at intersection like its going to just stop. Like it can't make it down the road. I'm worried for my childrens safety also my own.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Avenger. While attempting to start the vehicle, the throttle indicator illuminated and the engine stalled. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the battery failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic throttle control failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred twice. The vehicle was repaired a third time. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

Electronic throttle control warning lights came on while driving 15-20 mph. The light stayed lit while driving on an interstate highway. The car has less power train compare when I bought it. I have concern that the car will stall while driving on the road.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated that while driving at 35 mph, the electronic throttle control light illuminated as the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who recommended that the electronic throttle box needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 88,250. The VIN was not available.

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.

The car would sputter like it was having a hard time accelerating then the electronic throttle body light came on. I was on my way to a dealership to find out what was wrong. I was merging onto a busy interstate when my car went from 60-65 mph down to 30-35 mph while I was still trying to speed up to merge onto the interstate. This incident came very close to resulting in me getting rear ended. The next day I went and had the whole throttle body replaced (January 2013). In October 2013 I started to have the same problems, the throttle body light would come on and the car would sputter like it couldn'¿¿t pick up speed or it would rev up while I was slowing down. I had the throttle body cleaned and it ran okay for a week or two. Then September 2013 I took it to a dealership yet again, they said it was old codes causing the problem. They cleared the codes and it was fine for a little bit. Then around April 2014 it would start up again. It would run fine and on occasion the throttle control light would come on. But in August 2014 it started acting up again. The rpms would rev up from 1 to 3 while in park. I would be sitting at a red light with my foot on the brake and the car would rev up for no reason. It has completely stalled out on me two days in a row. Luckily it was when I was in parking lots. This is a newer car and there is no logical reason to have this much ongoing trouble with the throttle body except some kind of defect. It is also very dangerous. Because it will act up a day or two then be fine for a few days making it difficult for a shop to actually see what the car is doing. The light comes on and it acts up and sometimes when you turn the car off and back on it¿ll be fine. But the fact that it will stall out or decelerate with no notice is very dangerous especially since I drive on a busy interstate at least twice a day.
