On january 31,2021, I was driving home in the rain on interstate 40. I hydroplaned and lost control of my car. I was driving 55 MPH when this happened. I wa sin the far right lane and I spun out across the highway and I crashed into the center median at full speed. My airbags never deployed. I have many bruised on my chest, hips, legs, arms and torso from the impact, as well as whiplash in my neck and back.

When the electronic stability control malfunction indicator light comes on, my car starts shaking violently, not responding as quickly to pressing gas pedal, jerking, slow acceleration, bogging down when I reach 50 and the feeling of my brakes applying themselves my room gauge sometimes rocks back and forth before and after the gear shift...a weird smell and heat coming from under the car even tho it's not reading a higher temp... I've changed the cps twice and the code will not clear... P0340...this happens all the time but it's random and happens even while I'm driving...or when the car is running for a few minutes in park...random...while the episode is happening sometimes I hear this fast paced tapping and "movement" behind my dash & steering wheel...I've tried everything I can to solve this problem and now I find out my car has recalls...my car dealership never informed me it was on a recall list...please help before something bad happens as I'm driving...I feel like this issue could potentially cause my car to shut down or something could blow up...I just don't know what else to do and I don't want to accidentally hurt someone or myself if I potentially lose control of the vehicle or the brakes completely stop me without me applying them & I wreck or stall going down the highway or interstate... Very concerned and worried about what to do next...when this isn't happening to the car it behaves & drives perfect...it seems possessed or is having a seizure

The vehicle was slowing down while driving on the freeway. Etc, ESC, and check engine lights went on. The dome light in the car was flickering and the lights in the dashboard went dark and the speedometer was not visible. This happened in broad daylight.

A couple years after I got my car it would shut down when I would come to stop signs and no mechanics could tell me why. No lights ever came on. It had shut down on the freeway before and let the power slowly die down until the car turned off. That time the car actually had a light when I tried turning it back on. I essentially have had to replace my transmission and engine within a year. The car would overheat at times but no lights would go off so I just could let the car cool down and let the overheating stop. Fast forward to replacing the engine and transmission and my car is now idling high even without the gas being touched. On the freeway it will go to as high as 4000rpms now and it feels like the car is going to stop working again. Also the door blend actuators and other actuators have been making noise for about 4 years. My air line has no leaks and is cold but the air that comes out of my vents is almost warm feeling.

My airbags did not go off when I hit the car in oncoming traffic. My frame was bent and both cars were totaled. I've sustained many injuries that are unknown of treatment completion

In january 2020 my 2013 dodge avenger began to have issues that resulted in it stranding me at various times, I had the car towed and assesses it was determined that the battery was bad was the battery was replaced ( last replaced 2 years prior) the car was returned to me and almost 1 week later I was again stranded with a car that would not start and so I had it towed and assessed and this time it was the alternator , I had it repaired and returned to me the vehicle seemed fine for 2 weeks when suddenly the windshield wipers stopped working or would work intermittenly, the AC or heater would work intermittenly, the car horn and alarm stopped working and would go off randomly while driving, the vehicle would stall if the heater was on while driving and the alarm would go off if it stalled, finally I called dodge and they told me to bring it in, they would find out what was wrong with it I told them from what I had read it seemd the issue was the tipm, 3 days later I get a call that it is the tipm and that they will also need to remove the alarm and that the repair would cost over 1900.00 and when the car is back it will no longer have an alarm though I bought the vehicle with an alarm on the show floor it would be additional cost to have a new alarm installed. I have read that this issue is a known issue and that it is very dangerous and dodge continues to ignore how dangerous this is. The times the vehicle stalled I was driving, and could have been in an accident had I not reacted quickly and recognized what was happening.

The horn on my vehicle continues to beeps while driving, the radio no longer turns on and the car shuts off while driving without any warning almost causing accidents. I was told the power module needs to be replaced and there are many complaints online from other customers regarding the same issue with this make/model vehicle.

Stability control light coming on while driving and when parked. Check engine light. Needed to replace the brake switch. Airbag light on. Diagnostic shows there is a short in airbag wiring and the airbag will not deploy if needed. This light comes on after starting car and stays on constantly.
