   I've had to replace the battery in this 3 times. Alternator 1. And Throttle Body Position Sensor twice. And now it's all starting to act up again. Car stalls, no reason, all dashboard warning lights flash and it stalls. No dashboard lights at night. Occasionally they flicker. Windshield wipers either won't work or won't shut off. Front windows are unusable, the track broke and back windows don't have power to make them work. Airbag and abs lights always flashing on dash and warning bell goes off all the time. Now my High beam wires have completely crumbled and radio takes 5-10 minutes to come on. Obviously a major electrical issue. I've lost my job thanks to the "reliability" of this money pit. Owned 3 years, problems began then. Today all lights are flashing, the air starts blowing high, wipers go on. I stop at light and it shuts off. Had to push off busy road. Waited half hour and it started, but now check engine, air bag, throttle body and seat belt lights all on. Very slowly, with many breaks, drive home & car smells like burning rubber. Visually can't find source. All fuses are good, and brand new battery last week.

6. Filed Sep 26, 2022Failure Sep 25, 2022San Diego, CAAir bags, Electrical system, Body

   There were 7 recalls on my make, year, model vehicle. Three of which were Brakes, Air Bags, and the TPMS tire monitoring system. Other body parts, doors and hood releases had recalls along with hvac/air conditioning systems. Radiator/fan motor failures. Doors flying open during transit. The ABS control module could cause the brakes to lock-up during braking. Shorts from unused connectors for the computer/TPMS system/brakes and air bags have been causing many unpredictable breakdowns. Some predictable, from past records, state recorded Instances from 180,963 vehicles that just failure of the TPMS monitor system has already caused engine no start, dead battery, Inoperable cruise control, remote start system, engine stalling which could cause a "crash without warning". This was what i read on the www.autoblog site concerning this vehicle. I contacted the Chrysler Recall Center and the site says the dealer's techs would seal the wiring "free of charge", and to replace the front seat track position sensors "free of charge". The recall center said they wouldn't do any repairs at their "free of charge" policy for ME. They said that I would have to pay out-of-pocket, when the site says they already serviced 180,963 vehicles "free of charge". I'm broke and on fixed income. Why are they being so unfair. From what I heard, and I could be wrong, but I was made to believe that there is no expiration date for recalls. If they already state online, some of the recalls could cause a "crash without warning", why would they refuse me? This happened yesterday to me. The Check TPMS System warning notice appeared, along with the Air Bag Red warning light at the top of the speedometer, while I was driving. The tire pressure screen appeared showing the tire pressure of the four tires. They are all fully Inflated. The Air Bag red light came on/off a few times, while driving home and the tire pressure screen remains on all the time. I don't want an accident.

    VERY MAJOR PROBLEM. ON A COLD START, IF THE CAR WAS OFF FOR AT LEAST 6 HOURS, IT CRANKS AND CRANKS AND CRANKS FOR ABOUT 8 SECONDS BEFORE STARTING, WHEN IT DOES START, IT REVS ALL THE WAY TO 2500 RPMS BY ITSELF AND SLOWLY GOES DOWN. IF I TRY TO PUT IT IN DRIVE BEFORE IT STOPS REVVING, THE RPMS GO UP AND DOWN BY THEMSELVES AND MY ETC LIGHT STARTS FLASHING AND I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE RPMS. I THEN HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND START IT AGAIN TO STOP THE CAR SPASMS. 50% WHEN I START IT AND LET IT STOP REVVING BEFORE SHIFTING TO DRIVE, IT GOES DOWN TO 1000 RPMS AND I'M GOOD TO GO. THE OTHER 50% OF THE TIME, IT FLASHES THE ETC LIGHT AND STUTTERS AND I MUST KEEP RESTARTING THE CAR TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE IT. I SEARHED UP THE PROBLEM AND SAW THAT BAD SPARK PLUGS OR A DIRTY INTAKE MANIFOLD COULD BE THE PROBLEMS. I THEN GOT MY SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AND INTAKE MANIFOLD TAKEN OUT MY CAR TO BE CLEANED OUT. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I THEN SEARCHED MORE AND WENT THROUGH A THREAD OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, PEOPLE WITH DODGE AVENGERS AND CHRYSLER SEBRINGS ALL AROUND THE YEAR MY CAR MODEL IS. MULTIPLE COMMENTERS IN THE THREAD EXPLAINED THAT THEY PUT THROUGH A COMPLAINT TO THE NHTSA AND A RECALL FOR THEIR CARS WERE MADE. MULTIPLE PEOPLE ALSO SAID THAT THE PART IN THE CAR CAUSING THIS PROBLEM IS THE FAULT OF CHRYSLER AND DODGE. HERE'S A LINK TO THE THREAD: HTTPS://DODGEFORUM.COM/FORUM/2008-CURRENT-DODGE-AVENGER/226963-ELECTRONIC-THROTTLE-CONTROL-LIGHT-HORSE-POWER-LOSS.HTML THIS PROBLEM HAS BOTH HAPPENED WHEN MY CAR IS IN PARK AND IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. IT HAPPENED ONCE WHEN I WAS IN THE SECOND LANE ON A THREE LANE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS THE MOST DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND TURN OFF THE CAR. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2/3/20 BUT TODAY, (2/15/20) WAS THE HARSHEST SYMPTOMS

    THE DOOR LOCK . THE PIECE THAT POP'S UP AND DOWN . IF YOU HAVE THE WINDOW DOWN AND GOT YOUR RESTING ON THE DOOR WHEN YOU START DOWN THE ROAD AND THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY THE PIECE THAT MOVES UP AND DOWN WHEN IT GOES DOWN IT WILL PINCH YOUR SKIN BAD AS IT TRYS TO PULL YOUR SKIN DOWN IN THE HOLE. ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRONT DOORS. BAD ENOUGH TO BRING YOUR SKIN. IT REALLY HURTS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR TO DO THAT. ITS NOT JUST ME OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DROVE THE CAR AND SAYS THE SAME THING. AFTER A FEW HUNDRED TIMES I REMEMBER TO WATCH FOR IT. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET IT NOT TO DO THAT. THE ONLY WAY I SEE IS CUT THE PIECE OFF BUT THAT WOULD BE UNSAFE. I DON'T THINK THE PIECE COMES OFF IN A EASY WAY.
