I pulled it over to the side of the road. It started back up within 2 to 3 minutes. Drove fine for about another 20-25 minutes and then did it again. I put fuel treatment in it. It seemed to drive better the next day but then I did it again.

I urgently need your assistance regarding a critical and unsafe situation concerning the PCM/ECU. Recently, while driving, my car began to shudder as if it was on the verge of stalling. To add to the alarming situation, every warning light on the dashboard illuminated. The speedometer and thermostat suddenly stopped functioning, leaving me without crucial information about the vehicle's speed and temperature. This not only compromised my safety but also made it impossible to gauge the car's performance. In response to this hazardous scenario, I immediately pulled over to a stop. Sadly, the car shut off, and despite my attempts, it has refused to restart ever since. The inability to restart presents a severe safety issue and has left me stranded without transportation. Compounding this ordeal, several auto shops have tried to address the PCM/ECU connectivity issues with no success. This recurring problem, combined with the recent dangerous episode on...

There are days the car will not start. The engine will try and turn over but never starts. (2) There have been several times while driving the car that the car will just turn off while driving. The car is very difficult to steer to pull it off the road for safety. The car will leave me stranded for at least an hour before it will start again. (3) The heat on the passenger side only blows out cold air. There is no heat on that side. (4) The car will start clicking in the dashboard for no apparent reason. This is baffling cause I have no idea what it is or what it is trying to do.

The engine in our vehicle blew up, our safety as well as others on the road were affected, when the engine blew we were driving down the highway with traffic, it caused us to swerve into oncoming traffic. We had to pay out of pocket for a tow truck and had it moved to a safe location so as of today, November 02, 2021 at 9:45 pm, the vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer or manufacturer. There was a police man behind us who pulled over to help us, he did not inspect the vehicle, but, he did look to see what happened since he witnessed the incident. We have filed a claim with our insurance company,, however,, they are possibly going to deny the claim due to not covering engine failure even if it's a recall.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55 MPH THEN SUDDENLY MY CAR STALLED. MY CAR SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. I SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT IT WAS FOR THE SMALLER ENGINE WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE MY ENGINE. I JUST TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID THEIR WAS AN OIL PRESSURE PROBLEM WHICH CAUSED THE OIL HOUSING TO LEAK.

OIL IS POOLING UNDER THE OIL FILTER/OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY. I UNDERSTAND FROM OTHER OWNERS ONLINE (YOUTUBE, AVENGER FORUM) THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. FOR OIL TO LEAK FROM THE COOLER WHOSE SEALS MAY BE BAD. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A ROCKER ARM (AT LEAST ONE) THAT IS WORN, PROBABLY FROM THE LACK OF SUFFICIENT OIL DUE TO THIS LEAK. I DISCOVERED THE POOLING WITH THE CAR PARKED, ENGINE IDLING, AND TRYING TO FIND THE CLACKING/TACKING/TIPPING NOISE WHICH FEELS (VIBRATIONS) LIKE IT MIGHT BE IN THE LEFT BANK OF THE V6 ENGINE. BOTH PROBLEMS REPORTED AS TYPICAL ONLINE AS NOTED FOR THE PENTASTAR 3.6L V6 WHICH I HAVE. TAPPING HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE MARCH 2020 AT LEAST. I DID A SECOND OIL CHANGE (PREVIOUS IN FEBRUARY) TO DETERMINE IF THAT WOULD HELP. NO.

A COUPLE YEARS AFTER I GOT MY CAR IT WOULD SHUT DOWN WHEN I WOULD COME TO STOP SIGNS AND NO MECHANICS COULD TELL ME WHY. NO LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. IT HAD SHUT DOWN ON THE FREEWAY BEFORE AND LET THE POWER SLOWLY DIE DOWN UNTIL THE CAR TURNED OFF. THAT TIME THE CAR ACTUALLY HAD A LIGHT WHEN I TRIED TURNING IT BACK ON. I ESSENTIALLY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE WITHIN A YEAR. THE CAR WOULD OVERHEAT AT TIMES BUT NO LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF SO I JUST COULD LET THE CAR COOL DOWN AND LET THE OVERHEATING STOP. FAST FORWARD TO REPLACING THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION AND MY CAR IS NOW IDLING HIGH EVEN WITHOUT THE GAS BEING TOUCHED. ON THE FREEWAY IT WILL GO TO AS HIGH AS 4000RPMS NOW AND IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO STOP WORKING AGAIN....

MY CAR DOESN'T START AFTER EVERY 8 HOURS. I HAD A 'DRAWS' TEST ADMINISTRATED ON MY VEHICLE BUT NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I DRIVE AROUND WITH A JUMPER BOX TO START MY CAR WHEN NEEDED. FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAVE REPLACE MY ALTERNATOR TWICE AND 4 BATTERIES. PLEASE HELP

HEAT IS ONLY BLOWING ON DRIVERS SIDE, BLOWS COLD ON PASSENGER SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE HEATER WAS ACTIVATED HOWEVER, THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS ONLY PRODUCED COLD AIR.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TWICE NOW I'VE HAD TO HAVE MY HEATER CORE REPLACED AS THE PASSENGER BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN IT SHOULD BE HEAT JUST LIKE THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY DODGE ABD THEY WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM OR EVEN ASSIST WITH IT.

THE ISSUE OCCURS MOSTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, BUT OCCASIONALLY WHEN IT IS SITTING STILL AND IDLING. WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY STALL. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS TURN ON. NO CODES ARE FOUND WHEN SCANNING THE OBD2. THERE ARE NO RECORDED MISS FIRES FOR ANY OF THE CYLINDERS EITHER. THIS IS AN ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION SPECIFICALLY WHEN DRIVING FULL SPEED ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS OR ROADS. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, POWER STEERING CUTS OUT AND I HAVE TO MUSCLE THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND START IT UP AGAIN. THE ENGINE HAS STALLED WHILE GOING IN REVERSE, DRIVING FORWARD, AND SITTING IDLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A DOZEN TIMES NOW.

WHILE DRIVING AT HWY. SPEED VEHICLE SURGED BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS, ETC. NEXT TIME STARTED, WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON INDICATING A P2173 CODE.CAR WAS JUST AT DODGE DEALER FOR RECALLS. CAR WILL IDLE FINE FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN START SURGING, IDLING ROUGH WITH NO POWER AND SET WARNING LIGHTS, MIL, ETC, ESC. THESE WILL GO OFF WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF EXCEPT FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WE HAVE REPLACED THROTTLE BODY WITH NO CHANGE. CLEARED CODE AND CAME BACK AND DID THE SAME. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT DODGE HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. IT IS NOT SAFE.
