NHTSA Complaint #11120488 — 2013 DODGE AVENGER

THE FOLLOWING THREE WARNING LIGHTS HAVE STARTED TO COME ON INTERMITTENTLY; 1) MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL); 2) ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC); AND 3) ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC). THE MALFUNCTION AND ESC LIGHTS WERE THE FIRST WARNING LIGHTS TO COME ON. THE LIGHTS HAVE ACTIVATED WHILE I AM DRIVING ON DRY PAYMENT WITHOUT ANY HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS PRESENT. THE ETC WARNING LIGHT NOW COMES ON TOO. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR SEEMS TO STALL WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE. TAKE OFF IS SLOW. IT TAKES ME SEVERAL BLOCKS OF DRIVING TO REACH 30 MPH. THE CAR WILL ALSO FEEL AS IF IT LUNGED BUT RESUME A SLOW PACE. TAKE OFF IS EXTREMELY SLOW WHEN I STOP FOR TRAFFIC LIGHTS. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE LOSING PRESSURE. I HAVE MAINTAINED THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE SCHEDULE. THE AFOREMENTIONED CONDITIONS REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD. I FOUND RECALL # N52 ONLINE WHICH APPEARS TO BE FOR ENGINE STALL AND THE LOSS OF ENGINE PRESSURE.
