Avenger 6-cyl

  • 39,150 miles
Car was having trouble starting but would always go, then one day needed to have it jumped since battery died. Assumed it needed a new battery. Next day driving on the highway when car started accelerating sluggishly was struggling to reach 60mph and rpms were about 7-800 higher than when normally at that speed. Called local Dodge dealership to schedule repair and the service tech stated that they had numerous problems with throttle body. After checking this websites complaints and recalls section I see dozens of similar complaints where the throttle body was the core issue. There should be a recall since failures are nearly identical with this model.
