Electrical system has critical internal errors where car will just shut-off completely. I've been on highway many times where my 2014 Dodge Avenger SE V6 has lost power and completely idles. The battery is still working but car will no longer start. I have infant child and this defect has become a source of anxiety every time I drive this vehicle. Also, the nuts and bolts seem to come undone from the side frames below the driver and rear doors, as well as bolts under hood such as on the engine compartments. Finally, royalty auto informed me that the oil filter housing unit on this vehicle is stocked with plastic, when it should be made from alloy metal to ensure quality and safety.

The throttle and engine light lit up on the dash. Car has trouble accelerating and sputters til lift off the gas pedal. Sometimes when starting it will sputter and try to quit. It will also accelerate by itself when my foot is not on the pedal at all.

On November 3rd my car over heated. I have to get it towed away to the dealership. Same dealership I bought my car from. After they diagnosed my car they said the hose broke and over heating melted my sensors. They asked me $773.55 for repairing. On good faith I took my car from the dealership. Just after 2 weeks, a day before thanks giving my car over heated again. Again I have to get it towed away again to the dealer ship. My car has been in the shop for more than 12 days. At first they are saying that my gas kit blew and then later they said they have to replace my engine. My concern here is that why was it not done on the first attempt. I borrowed money against my 401K plan and I cant take another loan to get it fixed. My wife is stage 3 cancer patient. We do not have enough money. I believe renton car pros Dodge and Chrysler should be responsible for the repair. They should have fixed it on the very first time. They actually sold me a defective car. Which car really breaks down within 4 years.

6.1.17 at roughly 7:50am, my 2014 Dodge Avenger LX with rallye package completely shutoff while doing highway speeds - 70mph cruise, flat land. Power steering was gone and thankfully no other cars were on the road. I placed the car in neutral and was able to get it started to continue on my way to work. Over the past year, we've experienced numerous issues such as: Random accelerations without cause, dummy lights flashing or coming on and then disappearing on their own, acceleration issues where car will not go over 40, etc. Issues have not been able to be replicated and has not been brought to the dealership for that purpose as I had a friend experience the same and the dealership told her they couldn't recreate so there was no issue. I have contacted my dealership and have an appointment for 6.5.17, and I have also contacted Chrysler regarding the issue so they can get a case manager assigned. I no longer feel safe driving myself or my children in this vehicle, as I have found several have experienced the issue without remedy.

On December 10, 2016, I took my 2014 Dodge Avenger in for diagnosis/repair because the engine was stalling/shutting off when stopped or getting ready to stop. Nothing was found. On December 13, 2016;my vehicle shut down twice while driving 45 mph coming very close to getting hit in the rear of the vehicle. I was told that the tipm (totally integrated power module) needed replacement. My vehicle is still under warranty, thankfully! ! this part has a 2-year warranty only! once told of the tipm issue, I went online and researched this part. I saw many models had the same problem and that Chrysler had settled a lawsuit over thousands/millions of 2007-2014 Chrysler vehicles with defective tipm's. just last week I saw a Dodge charger on the side of the road and wonder if this was the same issue as mine. At this point, I can't refer anyone to buy any Chrysler vehicle.....such a shame because I really love my car, but after this ordeal, I'm paranoid wondering what else will go wrong!!
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 in a car accident as of March, I had front damage hit pretty hard at least the passenger air bag should have deployed but after I got my car back it started cutting off for no reason. I took it back to auto shop that fixed it when the check engine light came on due to revving up between the 3 and 5 RPM and barely moving the lightest touch it would stay stuck between those even slowing down to less 25 mph as soon as step on the gas it will shoot right back up between 3 and 5 RPM and rev.. I would have to pull over turn my car off and turn the key really hard to turn on and it would go back regular. My car randomly cuts off when stopped at lights or when coming to a stop. If I am in reverse and start to back up it stalls, jerks then cuts off. The dealership and auto shop are not finding anything "wrong" with it. Unknown of what paticular system this is I was told fuel line but I think its the engine the check engine light will come on and then go back. It is happening on and off and no one will look at it unless im paying out of pocket this started happening around 30,000 miles.
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.

My vehicle will randomly stall. No check engine lights or anything. Normally it will be when I need to turn, I will slow down almost to a stop and then hit the gas. It has stalled twice now and the other times it feels like it is going to.
I was trying to reverse after making a U-turn on a business avenue in queens, NY and after turning around, I put the car in reserve to go back a little bit to complete my U-turn, and my car would not reverse, instead moves forward, even though the vehicle was put into reverse position. I turn off the engine and turn it back on, put the car in reverse, and it continues to do the same thing. Someone help me push it back while in neutral and I then put it in drive and it was ok after that. My children was in the car with me and this happened on a busy ave. I am concerned for the safety for everyone. My children are always with me in my car. Please take a closer look at this problem with my car and many others. Thank you.
