Consumer Description

MY 2008 DODGE AVENGER HAS AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT FLASHING ANYTIME I GO OVER ABOUT 2000 RPM. AT THAT POINT THE CAR BEGINS TO STALL AND I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART. I AM POSTING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHER POSTS ON DODGE FORUMS THAT EXPLAIN THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL. *TR
