NHTSA Complaint #10861079 — 2011 DODGE AVENGER

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE AUTOBAHN AT ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. I HAD TO LET THE CAR ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET TO AVOID GETTING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES AND THERE I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF BEFORE WITHOUT ANY WARNING, BUT IT STARTED BACK UP WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANICAL SHOP AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO A DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER WITH THE CODE FOR CAMSHAFT SENSOR. WE REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND STILL NO LUCK. TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE DID NOT REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT WOULD COST $8000. THE CAR STILL ONLY CRANKS, BUT DOES NOT START AND THE ETC LIGHT IS STILL ON.
