Vehicle stopped in moving traffic almost causing accidents. Back and forth to dealerships for guess work. No faith in dodge anymore. Stopped several more times after leaving the dealership. Was without a car for so long almost lost my employment. Car would start most mornings just turn but not crank. Will upload documents when I go pick it up from the dealership yet again.

Took the car in to the dealer for a recall however my vin did not come up. I'm not sure why when the recall included my year make. Brake light reverse and signals are not working . I have 2 children under 10 years old I take to school and after school functions. This is a serious matter that needs to be corrected. The issues with the 2008 dodge avenger are part of the national recall. When driving creates dangerous conditions due to no functioning signals or warnings. The dealer did state it was the whole box timp. This is what was recalled.
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!!!!!
It started with the blinker shorting out the lights inside the car and the problem is persistently getting worse. Now the horn goes off without notice while driving, now the horn is no longer working at all. I was nearly in an accident because I couldn't warn a vehicle they were entering my lane. I am concerned that my car electrical system will completely malfunction while driving as the electrical system is essentially the brain of the vehicle. Numerous dodger owners have expressed that it will only get worse, even to the point of completely cutting off while in traffic.
