The issue occurs mostly while the vehicle is in motion, but occasionally when it is sitting still and idling. while driving, the car engine will suddenly stall. no warning lights or check engine lights turn on. no codes are found when scanning the obd2. there are no recorded miss fires for any of the cylinders either. this is an especially dangerous situation specifically when driving full speed on major highways or roads. when the engine stalls, power steering cuts out and i have to muscle the car off to the side of the road to put the car in park and start it up again. the engine has stalled while going in reverse, driving forward, and sitting idle. this has happened over a dozen times now.
2013 dodge avenger has randomly started honking the horn while stopped and in motion. the honking lasts anywhere from a quick honk to sounding like i am laying on the horn for minutes going down the freeway. i have tried pulling over and restarting the vehicle which did not help or stop the horn. this is very dangerous.
For the past couple of months my horn goes off on its own. sometimes it goes off when i lock my car, other times it does not. it will sometimes click, and other times it will blare for 5 seconds. it is very startling especially while driving in traffic or sitting at a stoplight. once i was driving in the rain, and it went off for about 8 seconds and at the same time my windshield wipers started to stall and not work properly. the horn does not work when i push on it like it should. it is very concerning since it can cause safety issues.
I was driving my 2013 dodge avenger and the horn goes off by itself from 3 seconds to 3 minutes constantly. when i drive the car it cuts off. my car has only 85000 miles and i have read similar complaints regarding this vehicle around that mileage.

Window goes down but will notcome back up. motor is either blown , regulator needs to be replaced or switchs gone bad. i fixed this before and it happened again. should not have to replace again. august 27, 2019 at 1:00am
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.
My car began clicking, approximately 30 seconds at a time, late winter early spring 2018-2019 when the heat was turned on. i came to realize the car did not need to be running for this to happen. during an oil change the following week i was told the clicking had to do with the vents and how common this clicking was and that repair eas not guaranteed. as i am the primary person/occupant in my car, i found out later the heat only produced warm air. this is my 1st time owning a dodge and everyday my experiences with this car reaffirms i will never own another. i make it a point to tell any and everyone this fact. i have copied some of the complaints logged about this and my other issue, car stalling while turning left to enter the freeway with throttle indicator. i was on the side of the road alone and female until tow arrived at 9pm and the cost for an alternator which after reading this may not be the issue.... had i known how unresponsive dodge is to their customers by putting their profit over our cost of repairs... again, i tell ...
2013 dodge avenger 3.6l will need to placed on safety recall p60 / nhtsa 14v-634 the alternator is allowing current back to the battery. the battery is cooking and the alternator is smoking. this happened while driving and destroyed the battery. after the vehicle was stopped i put in a new battery and the alternator started smoking and the new battery became very hot while the vehicle was off, we did not even have the key in the ignition. this could have caused the battery to explode and could have been a fire if i did not remove the battery and the new battery.
Takata recall: i was driving my 2013 dodge avenger sxt on the highway and i heard a pop. and then i felt all this air but all windows was up. i pull my sunroof cover back and look and my sunroof exploded.glass everywhere. my sunroof was not open and it was not in the vent open option either. it was completely closed when this happened on april 29,2019 around 10:45 am in the morning.
Faulty tipm. i was in motion driving on the city street. i had my cellphone charging in the cigarette lighter port and my windshield wipers on at the same time. my windshield wipers started freezing up in the middle of my window until i unplugged my phone. i had to pull over and wait for the rain to stop. it even does it when i turn on the air condition. sometimes when i push the lock button on my driver side door, all 4 doors will lock. btw, i know it's not the battery because, i just had a brand new one installed 1 month ago.

Passenger side defrost/vent defects. the defrost and heat/air on the passenger side are not working due to a manufacturers defect. i cannot see when the heat outside the car is too high or low and the window doesn't properly defrost due to cold air only coming out of the passenger side. only cold air blows from the vents on the passenger side in both heat/air and regardless of settings. this occurs stationary and in motion, on the highway and while turning.
Check engine light with throttle control system light on when i got into car this morning. had not been driving vehicle. shut car off then turned it back on because i was unsure what the light was for. looked it up on line to find that it is the throttle control system.
