NHTSA Complaint #10496260 — 2008 DODGE AVENGER

I HAVE HAD A REOCCURING PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE LIGHT COMING ON AFTER EXPERIENCING CHUGGING AND DECELERATION WITH MY CAR. IT WAS ONLY AT LOW SPEEDS BUT HAS NOW GONE ON WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE COME CLOSE TO LOSING POWER AT HIGH SPEEDS BUT I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE LIGHT TRAFFIC AND A CLEAR SHOULDER. MY RPMS HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY HIGH DURING THIS TIME AND HAVE TO START THE CAR AGAIN. THIS FIXES IT TEMPORARILY AND STARTS AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE ON OTHER VEHICLES AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND I HAVE DEFENSIVELY DRIVING TRAINING BUT THEY DON'T TRAIN YOU ON WHEN A PART ON YOUR CAR THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED FAILS WHILE TRAVELING 65 ON THE FREEWAY. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO THEY NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? YOU WILL RECALL A STUPID TIRE SENSOR BUT NOT THE THROTTLE BODY THAT CAN CAUSE DEATH? FIX THE PROBLEM PLEASE. I DON'T WANT TO DIE OR INJURED BECAUSE NO ONE IS LISTENING ABOUT AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM. *TR
