I was less than 1 mile from home. I noticed the throttle wasnt responding as it should when I pressed the pedal. The etc light was blinking and the traction light was on. I was not able to drive over 20 MPH and I was almost rear ended by the vehicle behind me. After having it towed and having two mechanics look at it, they determined it to be a throttle body failure. This was replaced. I picked the car up. Less than 1/2 a mile from the shop, I lost power again and the same lights reappeared with the engine light now lit up. I took it back. He ran the code and it was showing possible an vacuum issue. He kept it over night to take a looked at it again. It was determined their was no vacuum issue and now a code for the map sensor was being reported. It was replaced and the mechanic drove it three times at different distances. No issues. I pick the car up. I get almost home (3 miles away). Etc light blinks, engine light on, traction light on. At this point the mechinca believes it to be the PCM which he says is a common issue with dodges. So at this point he is going to put the old throttle body and map sensor back on and replaced the PCM.

Electrical system has critical internal errors where car will just shut-off completely. I've been on highway many times where my 2014 dodge avenger se v6 has lost power and completely idles. The battery is still working but car will no longer start. I have infant child and this defect has become a source of anxiety every time I drive this vehicle. Also, the nuts and bolts seem to come undone from the side frames below the driver and rear doors, as well as bolts under hood such as on the engine compartments. Finally, royalty auto informed me that the oil filter housing unit on this vehicle is stocked with plastic, when it should be made from alloy metal to ensure quality and safety.
