I need some answers to this major safety issue. I have been experiencing issues with my 2010 dodge avenger. These issues are while driving the vehicle on the roadway, highway vehicle just cuts of without any warning signs with cars going at least 45mph following. Vehicle has also not started on over 15 occasions. I have taken it to the dealership who intern has made repairs stating that the issue was fix, but when I get vehicle home after an enormous repair bill it won't start again. The dealer has told me that they don't know why vehicle is abruptly going dead while driving.this is a major safety issue. Last occurence was in october 2019. Vehicle is still a repair shop.

What owners say
Almost 2 years ago, my car would not start. Since it had about 55,000 miles on it, I had a new 5-year warranty battery put in on april 5, 2015. Had it serviced on april 18 and 25 because it would not start; after having to have it jumped a few times replaced battery on august 28. After several times it not starting, took it to dealership on october 29, 2015 and they replaced the battery again. On december 1, 2016, it would not start, took to dealership said there was corrosion. Would not start dec. 5, dealership shut the A/C compressor off on dec. 6. February 12, 2017, my car would not start, once jumped, dropped it off at the dealership where it is now. When I am home, I always keep my car in a garage every night. I am the original owner of this vehicle, live alone, and extremely frustrated with this issue since it has less than 70,000 miles on it and I have taken it to a reputable mechanic 3x and the dealership 4x for this issue.
The etc body has been replaced twice within 6 months and now needs replaced again. The car accelerates on it's own, stalls out and doesn't start consistently. The car has been running and stalled, the car has been at a stoplight and thrusts forwards on it's own, making it unsafe to drive
