Consumer Description

THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH MANY 2008 DODGE AVENGER SXT 2.7L. AS THE VEHICLE IS STOPPING IT STALLS, OR THE COMPUTER IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP A STALL INCREASES THE RPMS CAUSING THE CAR TO SPEED UP UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED TO SLIP THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL SO THAT IT NO LONGER JUMPS FORWARD. I RECOMMEND A RECALL TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR
