NHTSA Complaint #10501396 — 2008 DODGE AVENGER

THIS FIRST OCCURRED GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 50MPH THE ETCS LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND ALL THROTTLE WAS GONE..GIVING THE GAS WAS DOING NOTHING AN UNFORTUNATELY I WAS IN A CONSTRUCTION AREA AN HAD NO WHERE TO PULL OFF OF THE INTERSTATE SO HAD BLOCKED TRAFFIC TO TURN CAR OF AN RESTART TO LIMP OFF THE NXT EXIT..CHANGED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR FIXED THE ISSUE FOR ABOUT 500 MILES AN THE SENSOR WAS $600 ONLY FOR IT TO FAIL AGAIN AN AFTER RESEARCH I SEE A LOT OF THE SAME CAR IS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS ON AN INTERSTATE WITH NO THROTTLE TO GET YOUR CAR TO SAFETY. *TR
