1 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 12/09/2017

2011 Dodge Avenger. 3. 6l engine. While driving between 30 and 40 mph, on deceleration, once the gas pedal is pressed to accelerate, the engine stalls. All electrical still works, but power steering and braking are lost. Car does not restart for at least an hour or more, but will start evnetually. Has happened "intermittently" 10 times since Dec 2017 (this report done July 2018). 8 dealer trips with a torque converter replacement, new fuel pump and still stalling issues while trying to accelerate. Empty back roads, state highways and even busy freeways have all been locations for stalls. All weather conditions, (winter, summer, wet, dry). One code pulled referred to the tipm, which is a major problem for Chrysler, but not documented in the Avenger. Dealer wants a second code to confirm but of the 10 stalls and 8 being towed to the dealer immediately, only once was code saved in car's computer.

2 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 07/23/2014

I was driving to a parking lot around a turnabout and as I approached the entrance for the parking lot, the steering became extremely difficult, almost causing the car to miss the entrance and for me to veer of the road. I looked at the tachometer and noticed that the engine had completely turned off. This was about the third occurrence. The previous two times the car had stalled at an intersection's red light and didn't notice until the light turned green. When I depressed the gas pedal, the car wouldn't move. Again, I would look at the tachometer, and the engine stalled. I wish to have on the record that today, 9/22/14 at approximately 11:30am, I contacted dave thompson of palm auto mall in punta gorda, FL to voice my concerns about a recall I read in the local news about a fuel pump recall for Jeep cherokees with a 3. 6l v6 and was given the runaround. My car has the exact same engine, and made during that recall's date! this is important because I described this exact problem when my car was serviced 9/16-9/17/14. I was told today that since my car is not involved with the Jeep recall, they couldn't do anything. I warned dave thompson that if I get into an accident due to this problem, he is going to be on record that I explained this problem to him. Thank god I was driving slowly. If my mother were driving the same car, she would not have had the strength to turn the wheel in this circumstance. Highly dangerous and potentially fatal problem with this car.
