NHTSA Complaint #11426145 — 2013 DODGE AVENGER

On Monday, July 19, 2021, the car started randomly blowing the horn while I was driving to work. When I arrived in my parking garage and turned the car off, the alarm system started going crazy with flashers and horn going off like mad. It only stopped when I opened the hood and slammed it shut - not really sure that's what stopped it, but I didn't know what else to do. Random horn beeping continued on Tuesday, July 20, 2021. On Wednesday, July 21, 2021, no horn beeping, but the MOTOR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE BALTIMORE BELTWAY. I was lucky to be able to get the car off the road and onto the shoulder. I'm now afraid to drive it. Car has been at the mechanic all day Thursday, July 22 and today, Friday 23, 2021. The mechanic recommended I take the car to the dealer, but I was advised by the dealer that the part (the TIPM) is no longer available through Mopar. So now the mechanic is trying to figure out what to do.
