The vehicle has intermittent (brake) (ABS) and (Traction control) lights. I took the vehicle to Airport dodge in Orlando Florida. They advised the ABS module and pump are faulty however there are no repairs available at this time. The most concerning was they advised to continue to drive the vehicle without ABS.

I have a 2012 dodge avenger that has had an issue with the heater for a while now. It blows cold air on the passenger side and warm air on the drivers, cold in the middle. We have replaced the blend door actuator ABS this only got rid of the clicking noise, it did not fix the heat issue. I have read several of the same complaints and would love to know why the issue has not been dealt with yet and why it's not recalled.
The throttle body control light keeps coming on with the ABS light. Had it and the sensor cleaned. Two days later the same lights and the engine light are coming on.
While driving down the interstate with the cruise control on, the cruise shut off, the brake light, ABS light and traction control light came on and the car experienced a sudden lose of power and was braking itself. The sudden lose of speed and braking out of the driver's control on the interstate during rush hour created a safety hazard.
