My tipm is failing. Due to this, my vehicle stalls randomly with no repair codes being shown after stalling. Everything from the battery to the catalytic converter has been replaced to no avail. I even almost was killed on the freeway coming home from work one morning because the vehicle stalled after running fine for a couple of weeks. This has been going on for almost a year and I have replaced so many things on this car I basically should have just cut my losses and purchased a new one.

My wipers stop in the middle of the windshield when it’s pouring outside. Now my horn won’t turn off! I was told that it’s the tipm and it’s a known issue with my car.

Engine stopped during a red light intersection, cranked up once and engine stopped again. After a dangerous intersection situation , car was towed by a pair of young boys to a safe spot. A serious accident may have resulted, if not for the quick help. Being an automotive teacher and passed shop owner inspected the situation and have come to a conclusion that the tpim failed. No warning lights appeared during situation. Scanner will not pick up any codes when hooked up to try to correct problem. 2008 Avenger with 88000 miles, will take to dealership for repairs.

On Monday, July 19, 2021, the car started randomly blowing the horn while I was driving to work. When I arrived in my parking garage and turned the car off, the alarm system started going crazy with flashers and horn going off like mad. It only stopped when I opened the hood and slammed it shut - not really sure that's what stopped it, but I didn't know what else to do. Random horn beeping continued on Tuesday, July 20, 2021. On Wednesday, July 21, 2021, no horn beeping, but the motor shut off in the middle of rush hour traffic on the baltimore beltway. I was lucky to be able to get the car off the road and onto the shoulder. I'm now afraid to drive it. Car has been at the mechanic all day Thursday, July 22 and today, Friday 23, 2021. The mechanic recommended I take the car to the dealer, but I was advised by the dealer that the part (the tipm) is no longer available through mopar. So now the mechanic is trying to figure out what to do.

I was driving approximately 40 and then the car had no power. When I gave it gas it would not go. It dropped to about 10 mph. The red flashing etc and engine light came on. Very scary. I could not move out of anyone way if I had to.

Passenger side blows cold air and will not defrost the front window when driving. We live in mt and this causes visibility issues and seems to be a common problem with this. Also, the vehicle keeps quitting at various times. It has been seen multiple times and over $5k dropped into it with the same issues.

My 2013 low mileage I bought this car brand new from Dodge dealershipl only owner is first time driving this car this winter always had a winter car. There's a problem with heating system only driver side blow hot air (heat) passenger side blow cold air (no heat) have contact Chrysler they suggest fill out this form online because has been alot complaints about the cars.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the heater failed to distribute air and the driver was unable to see out the front windshield. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the actuator, panel, and knob needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to wally armour Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (1950 w state st, alliance, OH 44601, (330) 422-8602) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that there was sludge in the heater core. The heater core, thermostat and actuator were replaced however, the failure recurred. After a secondary diagnostic test was performed, the contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 79,000.

When heater is on. . . It blows hot on driver side and cold on passenger. . . This happens wit all fans and on all settings. . . I don't have documentation but when I researched the problem. . . Many people with this car same make and model and year. . . Had the same exact problem. . . This is how and why I'm making this complaint.

Vehicle goes into transmission limp mode out no where causing vehicle to slow down and lock into 1st gear. While doing this the vehicle is incapable of picking up speed or maintains speed safely of over 20 to 25 miles per hour. Diagnostic code is p0882 on my code scanner stating possible loose pin connection or connections, low voltage to transmission control tipm ( totally integrated power module ), tcm ( transmission control module ) etc. , car was in motion on highway and would not accellerate to beyond 20-25 miles per hour max as car will not upshift. After checking all connections I reset and erased code and car drove a few miles normally and shifting properly before doing same again within 5 minutes. Had car towed 25 miles home at night. Spoke to service tech at local Dodge dealer. He stated this is a common issue with these model cars all the way thru the new Dodge challenger. And myself I state this is a safety issue as you unexpectedly can not avoid slowing down and you can not speed up to avoid a rear end collision by others driving behind you.

Vehicle in limp mode and won't shift gears property. Started after a purchase of the vehicle had no idea that this was going to be a issue until I had it for about a week and engine light came on and then started the limp mode and then driving it is very dangerous. Because it won't change gear and going up a hill is impossible when it won't change gears. Or speed up. . It slows down instead.

While the vehicle is moving and with my feet on the gas pedal the rpms drop, the car shudders. About 5 seconds later the rpms jump up but doesn't gain speed. Also the car jerks before accelerating very slow. No codes but clearly there's a problem.

Air bag light driverside been on for months drain my battery now air bag light goes off on.

All the sudden my dash defogger on passenger side and passenger defogger are blowing cold air and drivers side is warm. Googled issue and it seems to be a big thing.

A known issue with 2011 doge Avenger where the heater core goes bad . It's a known issue and should be covered by Dodge. I shouldn't have to pay $1k out of pocket . I have read hundreds of forums stating the problem and it has never been addressed . Ridiculous by Dodge.

My has stalled twice and my cruise control is not working.

The car engines lights came on while driving the electric throttle body light and ecs lights came on. The car is losing oil and overheating while driving. I took the car to a shop and they found an oil leak but don't know exactly where the oil leak is coming from. Oil is spilling all over the transmission. I contacted Dodge since the car has 89,000 miles on it and they ignored the problem. The car sputters in the middle of intersection it drives at 2000 rpms without gas pedal being press. The brakes depress on their own. Why is there no investigation done on these Dodge Avengers. Do someone have to lose their life in order to fix these issues?.

My vehicle lost power in the middle of operation , I also lost power steering and braking during this event.

On April 7th 2020 I was driving up a hill in a residential area. When I got to the peak of the hill and I went to turn left, the car shut off and there was no power. I had to put the car in neutral and restart the engine. It started immediately. This is the third time it has happened on this hill, at almost the same time in the morning. It's always when it's cold and has been raining. In total my car has stalled over 6 times, always early morning, on a hill, and it's cold and/or raining.

My 2012 Dodge Avenger has continued electrical problems, the first is the front driver and passenger windows. They won't roll down or once down won't roll up. Second my interior lights will all of a sudden turn on by themselves and flicker, third, flickering. I have tried replacing these possible broken parts but it hasn't fixed the problems.

My ac has stop blowing cold I have changed compressor, actuators, n control module and still air isn't blowing cold. Car was in motion when ac stop working properly.

In the last 3 years my vehicle has stalled 5 times. Today was the 5th time. I was on a hill about to turn onto another street, and as I started turning the steering wheel, the car turned off. It was very difficult to steer with no power. I turned the corner then put the car in neutral to start it up again. I was driving only abut 5 miles per hour on a residential street thankfully. The weather was cold but not raining. All 5 times that the car has stalled it has been a cold morning, and I was on an incline.

I changed the 3 blend door actuators and I'm not still not getting heat air on the passenger side of my car, only drivers side. The dealership will not fix the problem.

The issue occurs mostly while the vehicle is in motion, but occasionally when it is sitting still and idling. While driving, the car engine will suddenly stall. No warning lights or check engine lights turn on. No codes are found when scanning the obd2. There are no recorded miss fires for any of the cylinders either. This is an especially dangerous situation specifically when driving full speed on major highways or roads. When the engine stalls, power steering cuts out and I have to muscle the car off to the side of the road to put the car in park and start it up again. The engine has stalled while going in reverse, driving forward, and sitting idle. This has happened over a dozen times now.

Started getting a obd code 2017 and 2004. After replacing the manifold runner control valve the light stayed on and now code says that the circuit is high in bank one. I took off the runner control and tested it so it is a good part,.

My Dodge Avenger has started to cut off while I am driving down the highway or while sitting in a line waiting on food. I also experience the right side of my vehicle not heating at all. There is also a clicking noise in my car that has worsened over time. There are a lot off issues with this car and to many people are experiencing the same thing. I am so afraid to drive my car because I don't know when its going to cut off. I have taken my car to the shop but still experience these issues. If someone could please contact me because something needs to be done about our unsafe vehicles.

Sometimes when its raining or snowing when my car is on at least once during my trip my car will turn off either when I'm at a stop light/sign or when I brake to make a turn. I can sometimes tell when its going to turn off because the car sputters (I dont know how else to describe it). Ex yesterday on my way to work it turned off as I was at a stop light so I turned it off and back on more more issues on my 10 mile trip. On my way back home (car sat in the rain all day) my car turned off as I was leaving the parking lot of my job. When I say my car turned off I mean it loses all power so that when I press my gas car doesnt go anywhere I have to turn it off and back on to continue my trip.

I need some answers to this major safety issue. I have been experiencing issues with my 2010 Dodge Avenger. These issues are while driving the vehicle on the roadway, highway vehicle just cuts of without any warning signs with cars going at least 45mph following. Vehicle has also not started on over 15 occasions. I have taken it to the dealership who intern has made repairs stating that the issue was fix, but when I get vehicle home after an enormous repair bill it won't start again. The dealer has told me that they don't know why vehicle is abruptly going dead while driving. This is a major safety issue. Last occurence was in October 2019. Vehicle is still a repair shop.
