2014 Dodge Avenger complaints

TAKATA AIR BAGS UNSAFE I DONT WANT TO BE KILLED DUE TO BAD BUILDING!!!!!!

I WROTE PREVIOUSLY ON THE BRAKES NOT WORKING RESULTING IN ACCIDENT BUT I CAN'T FIND WHERE TO UPDATE MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT SO I'LL ADD TO IT HERE. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED THE SPEED AT TIME OF ACCIDENT WAS 21 MPH, RED LIGHT CAME ON WHEN BRAKES WERE PRESSED AND THERE WERE NO BRAKES. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED. THE OTHER 2 THE BRAKES CAME RIGHT BACK. THE ACCIDENT DID RESULT IN THE VEHICLE BEING TOTALED. THANK GOODNESS NO INJURIES BUT WHAT WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED IS THE AIRBAGS DID INDEED DEPLOY, THANK GOODNESS, BUT THE DRIVER SEATBELT DID NOT HOLD. WHEN THEY GOT HIM OUT OF THE DRIVER SEAT, THE SEATBELT WAS ACROSS HIM BUT NO LONGER BUCKLED. IT WAS JUST LAYING ACROSS HIM, BETWEEN THE AIRBAG AND THE DRIVER. I DID RECEIVE A OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER NOTIFICATION SAYING THERE IS A RECALL BUT IT SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX YET. THIS IS BEYOND SCARY. ESPECIALLY SINCE WE OWN TWO OF THE SAME VEHICLES. WE COULDN'T AFFORD TO PARK THE VEHICLES UNTIL A FIX WAS MADE AVAILABLE SO DRIVING THE OTHER AVENGER IS VERY SCARY. I SURE HOPE THERE IS A REMEDY SOON. THE RECALL IS ALSO FOR THE AIRBAGS WHICH I THANK MY LUCKY STARS AT LEAST THEY DID DEPLOY. THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED 11/16/2016. PHOTOS ATTACHED. *TR

MY 2014 DODGE AVENGER HAS A FAULTY TIPM. THIS HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO LOSE ALL ELECTRICAL POWER INCLUDING ENGINE STALLING, LACK OF POWER STEERING, AND NO LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TURNING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION! NOW IT HAS CAUSED MY WIPERS TO STOP WORKING! THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD. CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS AND HAS TRIED TO IGNORE, DENY, EVEN COVER IT UP SINCE BEFORE 2008. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OWNERS HAVE BEEN DANGEROUSLY AFFECTED BY THIS. I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS HASN'T BEEN FRONT PAGE NEWS! AS AN UBER AND LYFT DRIVER I CAN'T MAKE A LIVING NOW BECAUSE OF THIS. CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY BEEN SUED OVER THIS AND NEED TO BE CONTINUED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THEY HAVE GIVEN NO EFFORT TO RECALL ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES YET, ONLY A FEW MODELS THAT WERE HEAVILY MENTIONED IN THE LAWSUIT. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. THIS PART COSTS AT LEAST $1000 FOR THE CONSUMER TO REPLACE ONLY TO BE ENDANGERED BY IT YET AGAIN. CHRYSLER HAS ACTED LAZILY AND UNSCRUPULOUSLY REGARDING THIS MATTER AND I NEED MY VEHICLE FIXED. AMERICAN CONSUMERS DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS. THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR FROM A CAR MANUFACTURER IS UNACCEPTABLE. WE MUST HAVE A NO CHARGE RECALL ASAP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE AVENGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE BRAKES AS THE VEHICLE VIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8.

THE HEADREST ON THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS A HEAD RESTRAINT THAT ACTIVATED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED, BACKED IN, WITH NO WAY OF ANY CAR GETTING BEHIND IT, AND NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THERE HAS BEEN OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS OCCURRING. CHRYSLER ENGINEERING IS LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM, HAVE BEEN FOR NEARLY A MONTH NOW, AND I WAS INSTRUCTED IT O.K. TO DRIVE WITH OUT RESTRAINTS.

LOSS OF POWER AND PREVENTED THE VECHILE FROM ACCELERATING PAST 10-15MPH. IVE BEEN GOING INTO DEALERS FOR SAME TYPE OF ITEMS. THEY JUST KEEP RESETTING CODE. SEND ME AWAY. TODAY I WAS STRANDED. NEED HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER AND PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING PAST 10-15 MPH.

STEERING WHEEL JAMMED ALL OF THE SUDDEN OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AFTER 3 YEARS OF OWNING IT,CAUSING ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. MECHANIC SAYS RACK AND PINION NEEDED REPLACED AND WAS DANGEROUS FOR THE PROBLEM TO APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. ALSO SAID IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED FOR A 2014 MODEL AND IT WAS A MANUFACTUR DEFAULT BUT OUR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED 2 MONTHS PREVIOUSLY.

SHIFTING HAS BECOME A MAJOR ISSUE HAVE TO USE A PEN OR KNIFE TO PUT PRESSURE ON A SWITCH TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DODGE DEALER IT IS A ISSUE WITH THE CHALLENGER BUT NOT THIS MODEL. THEY ARE THE SAME SHIFTER. ALSO THE LIGHT THAT ILLUMINATES THE SHIFTER STARTED TO CATCH FIRE BUT I WAS ABLE REMOVE BEFORE FIRE IGNITED. I SAW THE SMOKE AND SMELLED ELECTRICAL BURNING. LUCKILY THAT STARTED RIGHT BEFORE I WENT TO STRUGGLE AND PUT IN DRIVE. TO EVEN GET IT TO LOSSES UP TO DRIVE YOU ALMOST HAVE TO SLAM THE SHIFTER UP AND DOWN RAPIDLY AND SOMEWHAT ROUGH TO EVEN LOOSEN IT UP TO GIVE A WEEK OR 2 OF IT NOT CAUSING PROBLEMS. WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DEALER NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WOULD BE AROUND 800 TO FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE AVENGER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND STALLED.

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT AS OF MARCH, I HAD FRONT DAMAGE HIT PRETTY HARD AT LEAST THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT AFTER I GOT MY CAR BACK IT STARTED CUTTING OFF FOR NO REASON. I TOOK IT BACK TO AUTO SHOP THAT FIXED IT WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO REVVING UP BETWEEN THE 3 AND 5 RPM AND BARELY MOVING THE LIGHTEST TOUCH IT WOULD STAY STUCK BETWEEN THOSE EVEN SLOWING DOWN TO LESS 25 MPH AS SOON AS STEP ON THE GAS IT WILL SHOOT RIGHT BACK UP BETWEEN 3 AND 5 RPM AND REV.. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN MY CAR OFF AND TURN THE KEY REALLY HARD TO TURN ON AND IT WOULD GO BACK REGULAR. MY CAR RANDOMLY CUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHTS OR WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IF I AM IN REVERSE AND START TO BACK UP IT STALLS, JERKS THEN CUTS OFF . THE DEALERSHIP AND AUTO SHOP ARE NOT FINDING ANYTHING "WRONG" WITH IT. UNKNOWN OF WHAT PATICULAR SYSTEM THIS IS I WAS TOLD FUEL LINE BUT I THINK ITS THE ENGINE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEN GO BACK . IT IS HAPPENING ON AND OFF AND NO ONE WILL LOOK AT IT UNLESS IM PAYING OUT OF POCKET THIS STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 30,000 MILES.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. MY CAR HAD 21000 MILES. SOMEONE RAN A LIGHT THROUGH AN EMERGANCY LANE THE FRONT OF OUR VEHICLES COLLIDED. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, MY ENGINE ENDED UP ON THE GROUND AS WELL AS MY RADIATOR. IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. SHOULDN'T THERE HAVE BEEN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED?

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND AS I CAME TO A LIGHT MY CAR STARTED TO IDLE REALLY ROUGH LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL THE RPMS WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ALMOST 200RPM THEN I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND HIT THE GAS A BIT SO IT WOULDN'T STALL AND IT REVVED UP TO 1000 RPM AND THEN SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED AT ME . THEN I RESTARTED MY CAR AND THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON . THE CAR WAS IDLEING REALLY ROUGH. I HAVE THE 2.4L I-4. ITS NEVER RAN THAT WAY BEFORE SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES LATER IT DID THE SAME EXACT THING. I AM OUT OF MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY SO A DEALER WANTED 100 JUST TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAR I WENT TO AUTOZONE TO HAVE THE COMPUTER SCANNED AND HE SAID THEIR WERE NO CODES. HE TOLD ME HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUES COULD BE EITHER . THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME . THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WAS BACKING PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I WENT TO PUT IT IN REVERSE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN AS I WAS GIVING IT A LITTLE BIT OF GAS IT SLAMMED INTO REVERSE IT ALMOST FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION FELL OUT OF THE CAR. AND IT CHIRPED THE TIRES. THEN AFTER I BACKED OUT MY ENGINE STALLED AND THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON. ( ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL)THEN I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AND IT DROVE FINE LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED.

THE BRAKES SUDDENLY FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY STANDING ON THE BRAKES. I IF I HAD BEEN IN TRAFFIC I WOULD HAVE CRASHED. THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING VERY HARD AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. TWO LIGHTS CAME ON. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND THE ONE THAT SHOWS A PICTURE OF A CAR ON A SLIPPERY ROAD. THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHTS WERE OFF AND IT BEHAVED NORMALLY. THEN IT REOCCURRED. I AM TAKING IT TO A DEALER BUT SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING IS UNACCEPTABLE AND FROM WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2014 DODGE AVENGER AND ON OCTOBER 17 I FUELED AT THE STATION AND PROCEEDED TO TRAVEL ON MY WAY HOME. WHEN I STOPPED AT THE LIGHT MY SON AND HIS FRIEND WERE TALKING. THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I TRIED TO GO THE CAR WOULDN'T GO. IT HAD SHUT ITSELF OFF. PRIOR TO THIS MY SON AND I WERE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND WE COULD HERE A SCREECHING WHISTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. LATER THAT DAY THE RADIO CHANGED STATIONS BY ITSELF. THE CHANGING OF THE STATION HAPPENED AGAIN ON OCTOBER 18 WITH ME AND MY WIFE IN THE CAR. THIS PROMPTED ME TO LOOK INTO THE RECALL FACTOR AND I FOUND MORE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME TYPE. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM SOMEONE NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT NOW BEFORE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIES. MY SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN BAD BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE EXPECTING MY CAR TO START MOVING AND I HAD NO IDEA IT WOULDN'T, AND I WAS ON AN UPHILL INCLINE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE PROBLEMS AND GET SOME INFO OUT TO THE PUBLIC.

I GOT MY FRONT BREAKS DONE WITH AFTERMARKET BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WEIRD GRINDING SQUEALING SOUND THE PLACE TOLD ME IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION PROBABLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, AND THEY SAID IT WAS AFTER MARKET PARTS CAUSING THE NOISE AND RECOMMENDED THAT I GET FACTORY PARTS PUT ON THE CAR. I WENT BACK TO JIFFY LUBE, THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE WHO PLACED THE AFTERMARKET PARTS ON AND WHEN THEY REPLACED EVERYTHIN WITH FACTORY PARTS, THE NOISE STILL OCCURED. I TOOK IT BACK TO DODGE, INFORMING THEM THAT THEIR DIAGNOSTIC THAT WAS RECOMMENDED WAS HANDLED AND THE NOISE STILL OCCURS. THEY, CAME BACK WITH THE SAME ANSWER "YOUR FRONT BRAKES". HOW IS IT THAT YOU DIAGNOSE MY CAR AND TELL ME IT'S ONE THING, AND WHEN I GET THAT ONE THING FIXED, IT'S STILL THE SAME ISSUE? AT THIS POINT, I AM CONVINCED IT'S NOT JIFFY LUBE, BUT DODGE NOT DOING PROPER DIAGNOSTICS BECAUSE I ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT MY CAR JUMPING WHEN I BREAK AND IT TAKES LONG TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THEY DIDN'T EVEN DIAGNOSE THAT AND WHEN I COMPLAINED, THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I OWN A 2014 DODGE AVENGER AND I GOT IT FROM FOLSOM LAKE DODGE.

THE TIRE SEPARATED AND EXPLODED, THIS IS A FAIRLY NEW CAR, I COULD OF HAD AN ACCIDENT. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED RIGHT AWAY.

THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR OVER A 1 YEAR. MY CAR ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN HAD IT TOWED IN AND MULTI DODGE DEALERSHIP MECHANICS LOOKS AT IT. NOBODY CAN FIGURE OUT WHY IT DOES IT. THEY HAVE DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM LOTS OF TIMES BUT DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAPPENS. EVERY MECHANIC REFUSES TO DOCUMENT IN THE SYSTEMS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BUT I MAKE THEM ALL RIGHT ON MY COPY OF THE SERVICE PAPERWORK THAT THEY DID DUPLICATE IT AND WHAT THEY DID TO PROTECT ME.THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE EVERY CHANGE IS THE ERG VALVE BUT IT STILL HAPPENS TO THIS DAY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

POWER LOSS IN THE GEARBOX , WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE CAR IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY AT ANYTIME. *TR

I PURCHASE A 2014 DODGE AVENGER SEPT OF 2013. JANUARY 2014 WE BEGIN TO HEAR GRINDING OR CONSTANT SQUEALING DURING BACKING UP OR BRAKING. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THEY WERE WAITING ON THE MANUFACTURE TO MAKING NEW PARTS FOR THESE BRAKE OK, SO EVERY MONTH I'M TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND GETTING THE SAME ANSWER NOTHING YET. NO I HAVE TO DRIVE A LEAST 2 1/2 HOURS SOME DAY FOR WORK AND JUST THIS PASS WEEK, I HAD TO PUSH REAL HARD ON THE BRAKES TO GET IT TO STOP. AND THE NOSE IS GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER AND THE DEALER STILL TELLING ME THE MANUFACTURE HAS NOT SENT REPLACE FOR THESE BRAKES THEY ARE MAKING NEW ONE FOR ALL THESE CARS. IN THE MEAN TIME THIS IS MY ONLY SOURCE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO THE AND I AM AFRAID THOSE BRAKE ARE GOING TO GIVE OUT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

AT FIRST THE BUTTONS ON THE RADIO WOULD ONLY WORK PART TIME. EVENTUALLY THE BUTTONS QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I CAN USE THE ROUND BUTTONS TO TURN VOLUME UP AND DOWN AND CHANGE THE STATION. CANNOT USE BLUETOOTH OR UCONNECT. CANNOT POWER OFF RADIO AT ALL. IT EVEN STAYS ON AFTER THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE IN THE DRIVE POSITION AND THEN TURNED ITSELF BACK ON. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN A LOUD WHISTLING/SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT END OF THE CAR SINCE 1/5/15 AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE REPAIRED. ALSO I WAS DRIVING AND IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN INTO A PARKING LOT MY CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. AN ACCIDENT ALMOST OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THIS. TRANSITOWNE DEALERSHIP IN WILLIAMSVILLE NY IS GIVING ME A HARD TIME FIXING MY CAR SINCE I DID NOT BUY IT FROM THEM AND SINCE THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM ON 3/24/15 THEY DIDN'T FEEL THE NEED TO LOOK IT OVER AGAIN UNTIL I MENTIONED THE PHASE I'M CALLING MY LAWYER AND THEY WILL BE IN TOUCH AND THEY HAD A CHANGE OF HEART THEN.

THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THE COST OF THE DAMAGED VEHICLE WAS 5 GRAND. THIS ACCIDENT CAUSED A CONCUSSION AND TORN ROTATOR CUFF.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED A PULLING/SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO FOLLOW MY CONTROL. IT WILL ALSO FEEL AS IF IT WANTS TO ATTEMPT TO STALL OR SWITCH GEARS WHILE DRIVING *JS

I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR JUST CUT BACK, IT ACT AS THOUGH IT WANTED TO STALL. IT DID THIS A FEW TIMES. I HAD TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE MY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH RESET 3 TIMES. THEY ALWAYS HAD A REASON WHY THIS HAPPENED. I WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER AVENGER THAT'S FOR SURE. I LOVE DODGE BUT I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A CARAVAN USED AND THIS CAR HAD 9MILES ON IT WHEN I BROUGHT IT DEC 2013 I HAVE NOT HAD IT A WHOLE YEAR YET AND I'VE BEEN TO THE SHOP 4 TIMES ALREADY. *TR

I WAS HIT BY ANOTHER CAR THAT RAN A STOP SIGN AND NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE ACCIDENT RESULTED IN A TOTAL LOSS DUE TO THE HARD HIT. AS A RESULT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL KNOWING THAT I COULD BE HIT SO HARD THAT MY 2014 DODGE AVENGER WAS TOTALED BUT NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED TO DO THE JOB THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO DO.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE BELTWAY AND THE CAR JUST STALLED. I WAS DOING 70 MPH AT THE TIME. THE CAR RANDOMLY STALLS/WON'T CRANK AND IT HAS LESS THAN 4000 MILES ON IT. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WILL NOT HELP ME. IT SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING AND ALL THE GAUGES GET STUCK. I AM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE AND I CAN'T GET IN TOUCH WITH THE MANUFACTURER. BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY TO GO TO WORK I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN I DON'T HAVE A WAY TO GET TO AN EMERGENCY LANE AND IT IS GOING TO CAUSE A FATALITY. NO ONE WILL TELL ME WHERE TO TURN AND THIS IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS TURNING AND CAR JUST SHUT OFF. NO WARNING LIGHT. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID NOTHING FOUND, JUST A QUICK FLASH TO REBOOT COMPUTER. THREE WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, FIRST IT KICKED BACK, THEN I TURNED AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS A RELAY SWITCH, AND WAS REPLACED. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THIS BRAND NEW CAR ANYWHERE. *TR

I HAD STARTED CAR AND PUT IN DRIVE. WHEN I PUSHED ON GAS THE CAR SHUT OFF. IT HAD DONE TWO TIMES EARLIER IN THE MONTH. I TOOK BACK TO DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE SENSOR WHICH KEPT VEHICLE RUNNING AND I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T GOING FAST BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CONTROL IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 20-25 MPH ALL MY DASHBOARD GAUGES FLASHED ON AND OFF BUT MY CAR DIDN'T STALL. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IT SWAYS SIDE TO SIDE AND ALSO KICKS TO THE RIGHT WHEN GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS AT APPROX. 15 MPH.I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BOTH HANDS FIRMLY ON THE WHEEL SO THAT IT DOES NOT PULL ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. *TR
