Consumer Description

MY DODGE AVENGER HAD A THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH WHEN FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE. THEREAFTER, THE CAR FIRST WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. LATER THIS PROBLEM PROGRESSED. THE CAR ONLY HAD A SMALL AMOUNT OF POWER. IT COULD GET UP TO 30-40 MPH ON FLAT AREAS BUT STRUGGLED TO MAINTAIN 5 MPH ON INCLINES. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN GEAR BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED DO TO ENGINE VIBRATIONS. I HAVE REPLACED THE PART AND THE CAR IS STILL HAVIN THE SAME PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT I'M NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED. *TR
