NHTSA Complaint #10637243 — 2008 DODGE AVENGER

MY 2008 DODGE AVENGER HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY LOSING RPMS WHILE DRIVING FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS. THE BODY SHOP INITALLY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED MY THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND A NEW BATTERY. I PAID FOR THESE REPAIRS AND THE NEXT DAY MY CAR WAS DOING THE SAME THING. I AM SO AFRAID THAT I WILL BE IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE CAR LOSES POWER AND I HAVE TO EITHER CONTINUOUSLY PUMP THE GAS PEDAL OR PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THEN RESTART THE CAR WHILE IT IS STILL MOVING. I AM ONLY ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD HALF THE TIME AND THE REST OF THE TIME OTHER VEHICLES ARE BEHIND ME GOING AT THE SPEED THAT I WAS GOING PRIOR TO THE CAR LOSING POWER...SIDENOTE THERE IS POWER TO THE CAR ITSELF BECAUSE THE RADIO OR THE AC WILL STILL BE ON BUT THE ENGINE GETS NO GAS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR CHRYSLER/DODGE TO LET US CONSUMERS KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON BECAUSE I SEE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
