Under the hood there-€™s electric tape holding wires together. Which is illegal. The check engine light came on since I got the car. I can-€™t fill my gas tank to fill cause the check engine light comes on. So it-€™s at half tank and can-€™t fill it to fill. My car did stall twice. Then there is hissing under the driver-€™s front side. The back end of my car feels like is going to fall apart this is a issue since I got the car. I have brought it to the dealership and they did nothing to fix any issues with the car since I got the car

While driving at hwy. Speed vehicle surged but no warning lights, etc. Next time started, warning lights came on indicating a P2173 code.car was just at Dodge dealer for recalls. Car will idle fine for a couple of minutes then start surging, idling rough with no power and set warning lights, mil, etc, ESC. These will go off when vehicle is turned off except for check engine light. We have replaced throttle body with no change. Cleared code and came back and did the same. Very disappointed that Dodge has not addressed this issue. It is not safe.

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Avenger. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle started to lose acceleration and the stability control, check engine, and brake warning indicators illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic who determined that the emissions system montior and a fuel leak were the causes of the failure. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

While driving the engine will throttle down or cut the acceleration off making it dangerous to drive on the highway. I have to pull over repeatedly to turn off the vehicle and restart it to make it to a safe place to look at the engine.

Engine locked up while making a turn around on busy highway. Made complete car's steering to be locked up. Lucky to be alive and other car did not slam into me. There is a recall for this very problem on this very car, however my VIN was not in the lot of cars for this recall. Managed to move over somewhat, by the time I had tow truck meet me (within the hour) police had car towed. This was 4 weeks after paying $1400 in repairs on other car parts. 3 separate times, car stalled, while driving on busy highway D/T gas gauge stating had gas and really did not. Recall for 2009 Avenger for this problem but not 2013.

Major fuel leak, leak is when stationary, and while moving. It's coming from the connection of the fuel tank it's rocking back and forth in place. At the bottom of this connection is where the fuel is leaking from. The fuel filler neck fits over this metal connector to the tank. See photos

There are two existing recalls on my vehicle for the fuel system and the electrical system. I have contacted mopar on 2 separate occasions and have been told my VIN number is not one of the cars affected. I do not believe this to be true and want something to be done.

I bought this vehicle on 11-04-2015. After just one day the check engine light came on & obd2 scan revealed air leak in fuel system. New gas cap installed & check engine light continues to stay on. I plan to get the vehicle checked out by Dodge dealership if this issue continues. I would also like to know if there is any way to come back & edit this comment if problem is resolved. Thank you.
