We have classified the 202 complaints from 2008 Dodge Avenger about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM into the following categories.
Sometimes when its raining or snowing when my car is on at least once during my trip my car will turn off either when i'm at a stop light/sign or when i brake to make a turn. i can sometimes tell when its going to turn off because the car sputters (i dont know how else to describe it). ex yesterday on my way to work it turned off as i was at a stop light so i turned it off and back on more more issues on my 10 mile trip. on my way back home (car sat in the rain all day) my car turned off as i was leaving the parking lot of my job. when i say my car turned off i mean it loses all power so that when i press my gas car doesnt go anywhere i have to turn it off and back on to continue my trip

Every time car is started and driven it stalls and/or will completely cut off in the middle of traffic. the fuel tank also has the gas light on and says the car has an empty tank when in fact the car has a full tank. (on going issue)
I was driving along the freeway and the car just automatically went into limp mode. i change the oil i flush everything then when i went on to the kelly book blue book to try to sell it as saying that it had a bunch of recalls welcome to find out chrysler saying it doesn't so i don't know what's going on with my car and neither do mechanics.
As i was traveling 65 mph down hwy 411 in centre, al my car (2008 dodge avenger) completely shutoff. i could barely get my car over to the side of the road due to the steering wheel wouldn't turn. thank god it was 11 p.m on a thursday night because if it would've been during the day this hwy is very busy and i could've caused a wreck and harmed myself or someone else. after i got on the side of the road i tried to start it back up a few times and it finally started back up but it wouldn't stop turning over until i cut it back off. then i tried to start it again and it started but every light on my dash come on. i put it in drive and tried to drive it home but it wouldnt go over 15 mph. i had several vehicles run up on the back of my vehicle and i was actually afraid for my safety. when i got it home i shut it off and it wouldnt start back up. i then tried to start it back up the next morning and the electrical throttle control light ...
On 3-31-19 me and my 2 daughters were driving on expressway, i started smelling burning and seen smoke coming from hood on driver side of car, it appeared to be coming from the engine under hood and pulled to side of road. i turned car off and i told kids to get out and we walked down expressway. i told kids to stay there and went to walk back to open hood and check it, on my way back to it, it had started on fire. i went back to my kids and called police. within ten minutes the whole car was engulfed in flames.
Electrical system:wiring unused electrical connectors for the tpms may become corroded and could short circuit, which can cause a variety of conditions including engine no-start, dead battery, an inoperative cruise control or remote start system, and/or engine stalling.. i have bought 2 new batteries the electrical problem is creating my battery to die. when i am driving it's causing my light engine light to stay on and stall.
Electrical issue. odometer drops from 65 mph to 10 mph on the highway. lights flicker . abs light comes on during all this also. enigine stalls on occassion. loss of power to engine. all this happens at highway speeds!!!!!
The horn will randomly sound. it may be operating on city streets, on the highway, parked, and even when not running. the horn does not sound from the steering wheel pad which is a safety concern and causes a safety inspection failure. the horn sounds when the key fob lock button is pressed intermittently. the horn when sounding on its own may sound on and off, or one continuous sound. when taken to a mechanic it was determined the tipm (total integrated power module) is failing in multiple ways, and is the cause for the horn sounding. the tipm is known to cause wipers stopping, lights stopping, etc and poses a very serious risk. i was astounded to know how frequently this occurs and yet no action has been taken.
In motion at random times my electronic throttle control light will flash at the same time i lose all power at any speed.....from coming into my driveway to highway speed 40-50mph to interstate speeds 65mph i was with my very i'll mom who has to travel with medical supplies and equipment and when she is in an accident, and left unable to get to her set destination, would suffer and did finally today ....we had to sit parked for longer that she medically is able to because of this problem with the electronic throttle control. it should be recalled & resolved before someone in my car, or myself, gets hurt or killed. i have had my avenger since february - march 2009 and today is december 2018 and it has happened for over 2 years to me just because i am still alive, don't mean it shouldn't be resolved. again, this happened before i got to the mileage i am now and is still happening. my airbag light stays on and i don't know if it would even work......, if i was to impact from the loss ...

Wednesday october 10th 2018 approximately 10:30 a.m. i was on my way to smoothie kind in cooper city located inside of a plaza. as i turned into the parking spot with my foot already on the brake to slow down into said parking spot the vehicle accelerated on its own. i pumped the brakes once nothing stopped the vehicle and it went over the medium between parking spots and hit a unoccupied vehicle on the left front. then stopped just before hitting a tree. i'am not sure what happened but their seems to be an electrical malfunction because my mileage has disappeared since.
I was driving when i noticed the red lightning bolt light come on on the dash. then the check oil light came on (and i don't need an oil change) . my tire pressure light had been coming on that day, i assumed bc it was colder that day. as i was driving i was getting into the left turn lane and as i got to the end of the lane and straightened my wheel i noticed i couldn't really turn my wheel. once i got the green arrow to turn, i put my foot on the gas and i wasn't moving. i turned my hazards on put it in park and turned it off when i noticed my car was already off. i started it back up and the lights on my dash went away and it was fine. i've also been noticed the past couple weeks that my car revs up whenever it feels like it. i'll be parked and the car will rev up or i'll be driving a steady speed and my car will just speed up. sometime even when i'm braking to come to a stop my car will start zooming forward.
Intermittently, when the switch is on they will turn off and on by themselves. fast to slow and slow to fast. causes very dangerous driving conditions in adverse weather conditions. this happens when car is moving, obviously in rainy conditions. most recent accurate 2-13-18 highway and city streets.. also my air and cooling fan has been running intermediate on high and now is not working at all. not to mention issues with wiring harness.
The headlights and horn light and sound intermittently also interior lights also flash on and off. having intermitten problems with the wipers.also the battery keeps goimg dead. this has been happening at night as the car is sitting in the driveway. this has been going on for over a month now.
