Engine light came on. Got it diagnosed and code suggested changing the crank shaft sensor. Purchased part and had it installed by an independent mechanic. An hour later the engine light returned and the engine knocked while stopped at a red light and the car turned off. The car would not go above 35 mph. I was able to restart the car and drove it to a second mechanic. The codes suggested changing the sensor, and a misfire of the 1st and 4th spark plugs. The crank shaft sensor was changed, the throttle body cleaned, and all spark plugs changed. Still the same issue. The car will not go above 30 mph despite the gas pedal being pushed all the way down. Knocking engine and stalling. Took car to dealership. They suggested I allow them to take the engine apart for 800 dollars with no guarantee that this would fix the issue. Car currently over 80,000 miles approximately.

The contact stated that while driving at 25 mph, the temperature gauge went hot and approximately 20 seconds later, smoke submerged the inside of the vehicle. Flames then began to come from the hood the vehicle as the engine began to stall without warning.

Car will stall at various speeds without warning. No dash warning lights illuminate prior to stalling. Driver losses power steering when engine stalls and car cannot be maneuvered out of traffic. Very dangerous situation. First occurred on state highway at 50mph in busy rush hour traffic.

For the past year, my car randomly stalls while driving. There is no rhyme or reason for when it stalls, so I never know when it is going to happen. No lights ever appear on the dash. After sitting for a few minutes, my car usually starts back up again. In addition to the engine stalling, the windshield wipers stutter and the car horn randomly sounds from anywhere between a second to a full minute. I'm not sure if the two issues are related at all, but I've taken it to the mechanic several times and gotten various parts replaced to no avail. The problem persists, and no one can figure out what the issue is. After online research, I have found that there are two recalls for 2013 Dodge Avengers for an issue with the engine stalling, but for some reason my 2013 Dodge Avenger is not included--even though it has the same issue as described in the recall. I should not have to say how dangerous it is for one's engine to stall out on a highway. My husband almost got hit by an 18-wheeler as the engine stalled while he was driving in front of it. The steering-wheel locked, but luckily he was able to somehow steer off the road onto the shoulder. It is not safe to drive my car in this condition.

The following three warning lights have started to come on intermittently; 1) malfunction indicator light (mil); 2) electronic throttle control (etc); and 3) electronic stability control (esc). The malfunction and esc lights were the first warning lights to come on. The lights have activated while I am driving on dry payment without any hazardous conditions present. The etc warning light now comes on too. I have noticed that the car seems to stall when I put it in drive. Take off is slow. It takes me several blocks of driving to reach 30 mph. The car will also feel as if it lunged but resume a slow pace. Take off is extremely slow when I stop for traffic lights. The engine seems to be losing pressure. I have maintained the recommended oil change schedule. The aforementioned conditions represents a safety hazard. I found recall # n52 online which appears to be for engine stall and the loss of engine pressure.

Engine keeps stalling.

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.

My car's engine stalls and shuts off while in the middle of acceleration or even while at idle. The dealership cannot find any issues as to why it would stop running and I am extremely afraid to drive the car for fear I will have an accident. When the engine stalls, the power steering stops working and it is hard to steer the car to a safe spot.

My 2014 Dodge Avenger has a faulty tipm. This has caused my car to lose all electrical power including engine stalling, lack of power steering, and no lights while driving down a busy highway at night. This happened several times. Once it happened while I was turning through a busy intersection! now it has caused my wipers to stop working! this is and has been a safety hazard. Chrysler has known about this and has tried to ignore, deny, even cover it up since before 2008. Hundreds of thousands of owners have been dangerously affected by this. I don't know why this hasn't been front page news! as an uber and lyft driver I can't make a living now because of this. Chrysler has already been sued over this and need to be continued to be held accountable. They have given no effort to recall all of the affected vehicles yet, only a few models that were heavily mentioned in the lawsuit. This is an outrage. This part costs at least $1000 for the consumer to replace only to be endangered by it yet again. Chrysler has acted lazily and unscrupulously regarding this matter and I need my vehicle fixed. American consumers deserve better than this. This kind of behavior from a car manufacturer is unacceptable. We must have a no charge recall ASAP.

I was driving my car and as I came to a light my car started to idle really rough like it was going to stall the rpms went all the way down to almost 200rpm then I put the car in neutral and hit the gas a bit so it wouldn't stall and it revved up to 1000 rpm and then shut off completely and the electronic throttle control light flashed at me . Then I restarted my car and there were no lights on . The car was idleing really rough. I have the 2. 4l I-4. Its never ran that way before so I continued to drive and about twenty minutes later it did the same exact thing. I am out of my bumper to bumper warranty so a dealer wanted 100 just to take a look at the car I went to autozone to have the computer scanned and he said their were no codes. He told me he didn't know what the issues could be either . This is the 5th time this has happened to me . The other day when I was backing pulling out of my driveway I went to put it in reverse it wouldn't go into reverse then all of a sudden as I was giving it a little bit of gas it slammed into reverse it almost felt like the transmission fell out of the car. And it chirped the tires. Then after I backed out my engine stalled and the etc light came on. ( electronic throttle control)then I attempted to start my car and it drove fine like nothing had happened.

I have continuosly been having problems with my brakes and rotors, engine stalling while driving, and the lock to my drivers side door isnt working properly.

But some needs to provide some answers.

I purchased this vehicle in Feb 2008, and over the last couple of months I've had to replace the alternator, battery, tension puller and various other parts. Today 10/07/14 my car engine stalled as I was turning to drop my son off at daycare and almost created what could of been a deadly crash. I've called the dealership who sold me the car, who wired me to the Dodge manufacturers, who then directed me to the Chrysler company who then told me about the highway safety department. I've seen on various websites with similar compliants about the same exact issues I've had with this vehicle. Why must the recall occur after the death of somebody and not now. I could have died today and found no resolution. I now longer feel that my car is safe nor do I want it anymore. But also feel that I dont want to trade it in and have somebody else die because of these malfunctions. I know noone will write back or respond but something has to be done.

Problem 1) the air bag lights would come on intermittently. Problem 2) the engine stalls intermittently, especially on rainy days. Problem 3) the front speakers sounded cracked or damaged and then over a short period of time the left speaker quit and the right speaker is majorly distorted. I might add this is not due to over cranking the stereo. This is due to cheap/inadequate quality speakers used.
