Consumer Description

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 75 MPH, MY 2013 AVENGER IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO 40 MPH. IT FELT LIKE A CAR HAD RE ENDED ME, AFTER DROPPING TO 40, MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. MY RPMS WENT TO 0, AND I HAD NO CONTROL WHILE STEERING. IT LEFT ME STRANDED FOR 45 MINUTES AND SUDDENLY TURNED BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ALREADY. ALSO, BEFORE I HAD THE DEALERSHIP DISCONNECT MY HORN, IT WOULD RANDOMLY BLARE. SITTING IN TRAFFIC AND IT WOULD GO OFF. SOMETIMES IT WOULD BEEP ONCE, OTHER TIMES IT WOULD LAST ANYWHERE FROM 2-10 MINUTES. TURNING THE CAR OFF WOULDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, IT WOULD ACTUALLY CONTINUE. THE MECHANICS TOLD ME IT WAS MY TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) THAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN, ONLY SEEN IN CHRYSLER MODELS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING STARTING WITH MY HORN SINCE SEP. 23RD, 2016.
