Consumer Description

THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE AS I HAVE HEARD THIS SAME SCENARIO AMONGST MANY DODGE OWNERS. A FEW DAYS AGO, MY 2008 DODGE AVENGER SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AS MY FOOT WAS PRESSING THE GAS. IT DROPPED DOWN TO A SPEED OF 45MPH AND WOULD NOT LET ME ACCELERATE ABOVE THIS. THE DASH BOARD ALSO DISPLAYED A RED LIGHTNING BOLT . WHEN I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL IT ADVISED THAT I GET MY VEHICLE SERVICED IMMEDIATELY AND THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, MOST COMMONLY THIS IS DESCRIBED AS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. GIVEN THAT MY COMPLAINT RESEMBLES THAT OF MANY OTHERS BOTH ON THIS SIGHT AND ACROSS DODGE FORUMS, I WOULD FEEL IT NECESSARY FOR A RECALL OF THIS PART. *TR
