NHTSA Complaint #10853966 — 2008 DODGE AVENGER

I STARTED THE CAR TO LEAVE WORK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AS I WAS DRIVING I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 40MPH. WHILE DRIVING 30MPH THE RPM WERE AT 4,000. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC. MAP SENSOR WAS REPLACE AND ALSO TRANSMISSION SELINOID. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, THEY WENT THROUGH ALL TROUBLE SHOOTING. PCM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ACCORDING TO DODGE DEALERSHIP THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER WITH NO ETA ON SHIPPING. WAS ALSO TOLD THERE ARE OVER 200 ORDERS WAITING TO BE FILLED, PEOPLE ARE WAITING 4 MONTHS TO RECEIVE THE PART. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW FOR ALMOST 3 WEEKS. THE DEALERSHIP MY MECHANIC CALLED DIDN'T INFORM THEM OF THE BACK ORDER, WE WERE TOLD BY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHEN TRYING TO FIND THE PART ELSEWHERE.
