I need some answers to this major safety issue. I have been experiencing issues with my 2010 Dodge Avenger. These issues are while driving the vehicle on the roadway, highway vehicle just cuts of without any warning signs with cars going at least 45mph following. Vehicle has also not started on over 15 occasions. I have taken it to the dealership who intern has made repairs stating that the issue was fix, but when I get vehicle home after an enormous repair bill it won't start again. The dealer has told me that they don't know why vehicle is abruptly going dead while driving.this is a major safety issue. Last occurence was in October 2019. Vehicle is still a repair shop.

For months now my car keeps stalling I have 62,000 miles. I will be at a stop light and car will stall. It will start back up and then stall again. I took it to the dealer and they could not replicate and said nothing appeared in the codes as there were no issues. I contacted Chrysler and they claim they didn't know what the issue was and that they rely on the dealers to diagnose. Today my car stalled again I was able to get home and I shut it off and started back up again while recording it on my phone when the engine stalled my electronic throttle warning light and check engine light both came on and the off. This is very dangerous and would like you to please document and let Chrysler know this is a safety issue. I've read many instances online of this happening and consumers replacing the etc just to have it act up again. The cost to repair is somewhere around 400-800 dollars. At 62K I feel that they put a vehicle on the market and now should have enough complaints from the consumer to investigate and issue a recall.

Takata recall. My car honks at all times, driving, parked, at night, in the day. It makes the sound of me holding the horn down non stop also as if I was pressing it on and off. When parked it also makes the sound of the alarm being set, also the sound of the alarm going off as if someone tried to break into the car. But what is mostly bothering me is the honking while driving, I almost caused 2 other vehicles to crash N run red lights due to my car repeatedly honking at them at the red light, I been cursed out and one time a female was trying to fight me in front of my children for the same problem. I have taken the car to GMC Buick (which is where I purchased the car) and Buick mechanic came back saying the computer did not see a problem. This is something very serious specially with all the road range going on right now. Also my hazard lights constantly come on on its own without turning off after hours later. I have had this vehicle for 2 years and I have replaced the battery 3 times due to the car giving me problems to turn on.

I was driving along pacheco pass in the night. At one section there was large white paint strips (bigger in footprint when you compare it with the traffic divider broken lines) when the vehicle passed over this painted section on the hwy because of the smoother slippery surface. I seemed to lose control, the steering became too fluid, and later if I exceeded 65 miles on a normal road I felt that I was loosing control, something weird had happened to the automatic stability control system. I would like to also mention that it was very windy, but smaller vehicles were zipping past without any apparent problems. I realized that if I drive below 50 miles I didn't experience this problem of stability and loose steering. After some distance I pulled over, stopped the car, turned off the ignition and then started and began driving, I didn't experience this loss of stability after I did this. It seemed like there is some kind of a software glitch in the automatic stability control of the vehicle I was driving in. Which was a rented Dodge Avenger 2010 I'm posting this in the hope that NHTSA takes up the matter and researches stability of vehicles when driving on pavement which has a painted section & also looks into the trigger mechanisms of the automatic stability control when encountered with such a case.
