NHTSA Complaint #10672881 — 2008 DODGE AVENGER

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME GOING ABOUT 45 - 50 MPH AND THE CAR JUST DIED. THE RPM GAUGE FLUTTERS A LITTLE AND THEN THE CAR JUST DIED. SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR RESTARTED AND SHE DROVE HOME. THE NEXT MORNING SHE WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 10 - 15 MPH AND AGAIN THE CAR JUST DIED. THIS TIME IT WAS NOT EASY TO START. IT TOOK SOME TIME BUT SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AND GET IT OFF THE FREEWAY TO AN EMERGENCY PARKING SPOT. SHE HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THERE WERE NO CODES COMING UP AND THEY DROVE IT AROUND AND HAD NO PROBLEMS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, SHE IS SCARED TO DRIVE IT. WE HAVE SEEN ALL THE POSTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM DODGE ABOUT IT. WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 3 1/2 YEARS AND IT IS JUST NOW OCCURRING - IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE AND I HOPE THEY CAN FIX THE CAR. *TR
