As the car is coming to a stop, the RPM drops to a dangerously low level and the car stalls. Or the real fun treat is when the cars' computer discovers that the RPMs are too low and revs the engine. If you are trying to stop and the engine is gunned, you are gonna jump forward into the perpendicular traffic at the intersection. There are thousands of boards similar to this one, and thousands of identical complaints. Why isn't there a recall? I know, they are waiting until someone is killed!

Well I received a letter in the mail saying that there was a recall on the avenger something about tire pressure and it causes engine stalling or delayed start up. I was experiencing this about twice a week my car just wouldnt turn over when i went to start it. And then on December 19, 2008 we had a major ice storm and i was going about 19 mph and my car shut off i lost all control couldn't steer the wheel or anything which led me to slide off the road and bump into a telephone pole. I took my avenger to the dealership this week to have the recall notice and they called me and told me everything was fine and to come get it. That was Monday. Today is Thursday and last night i was driving home from work when my car stalled ON THE HIGHWAY! I called dodge and they told me i could bring it in and they would take a look at it. Thats all that they would tell me. So i have to take it YET AGAIN to be without a car!

When coming to a stop, RPM's extremely low and vehicle stalls. Only happens when temperature is below -5. Dealership unable to find cause and unable to replicate problem. No warning lights come on when vehicle stalls so computer won't register a fault. Lucky so far that my son hasn't been in the car when occurred, as both times it stalled was in snowstorms and almost was rear-ended by vehicle unable to stop behind me. Please if anyone knows how to help, let me know

Avenger 2.4L
My car started giving me trouble over weeks. At first it would stall when started and put in drive or reverse but after u put back in park and start again it would be okay. Then it went to doing it once a week. Then twice a week. Now its everytime u get in it and go down the road but now it has gotten worse. Now when u have driven it for 15 to 30 mins. with the air conditioning on if you stop it quits once this happens you can get it to start again then it goes a little ways then quits. after that happens lights in dash board come on and it is the check engine and the electronic throttle lights but these lights only come on after u keep trying the start the car and it just keeps cranking and cranking. U can keep try to start the car but it only cranks and cranks then maybe out of 10 times trying to start the car it may start but if it does it loses power or rpms and quits it will keep doing this over and over you're stuck where ever you are. But the next day you can get in the car and start it and it works but if you go anywhere you're stuck there because it starts the same crap again sometimes u can push it back home but its dangerous because its stalling on you and losing power the whole way home. Does anyone have and soultions to this problem?
