2009 Dodge Avenger Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“I was driving down the road and all of a sudden it was like the transmission shifted down to a lower gear, the engine reved up and then within a few mins stalled out. With no warning also all the warning lights were lit up. When I tried to restart the car it just clicked after jump start because of trying to start it ...restarted but still was stuck in the low gear and stalled out again. I then called a tow truck and had it towed home. …”

“Going home from work, approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes from my job, and traveling at approximately 40-42 MPH my engine just stopped....no sounds, no warning lights, nothing. Just tried to up my speed to go up a very small incline, and nothing...headlights still worked, no power steering, no brakes.......managed to pull over.........shaking like a leaf on a tree, because I am 65 years old, alone, no family to call, no one.....and this was a little after 9pm at night on nov 2nd. Called my mobile mechanic the next day and he gave me this info to file a complaint. He said this is very serious. …”

“Notice RPM / MPH would rev-up ...did not think much of it till I notice, having to apply brake s harder when coming to a stop becuase the car was still acceraling while I was appling pressure to brake.

Light came on took car directly to service repair shop -code p2017(intake runner valuve error)-replace intak mainfold- (488445aj). Less then 4 hours of pick up, same problem but worst. …”

Was advised to take it to Dodge because there should be a recall. The shop did not even charge me for the diagnostic. The car is not drivable. I stalled and was almost hit at a light. I called Dodge and it is going to be $105 for a diagnostic and once they find out what needs to be done they will give me a price. The information from the other shop told me to start looking online. …”

“I have a 2009 Dodge Avenger that is operating unsafely. It continues to maintain its speed when I take my foot off of the accelerator, and doesn't slow until I press on the brakes! It also to lurches forward when automatically downshifting, causing me to brake even harder with near misses in all of these situations. I initially worked with la mesa Dodge dealership, where I purchased the car, but after several months, poor cust svc and no resolution, I took the vehicle to hine Dodge in mission valley, ca. The service mgr and svc advisors have driven the vehicle. …”
