markio 05-24-2008, 11:33 AM I have had this happen to me twice, and I know why it happened to me. I had bumped my knee into the keys hanging down and actually turned off the ignition. It turns off very easily, so be careful. I had to take off the new dodge keychain that I had put on because it was too long.
Sphinx 05-24-2008, 12:03 PM Glad to hear you got out of the way... I have not had this happen to me yet... fingers crossed.

Quiet Lunatic 05-25-2008, 03:57 PM Soory to hear about your misfortune, Dont forget to tell us what the out come is.
Loosenuts 05-25-2008, 04:46 PM There is a recall for this it has to do with the TPMS system. certain plugs in the engine wire harness are not used and not "capped". when water or dirt enters these plugs it causes a host of problums...one of them is unexpected shutdowns. Saftey recal # is H07 I will put money that this is the cause of your problums....Hope I was able to help.

jaymista 05-25-2008, 08:24 PM I used to have a Dodge Dakota truck and sometimes when I was in cruise control, the truck would just go dead. It happened to me three times and it is a very erie feeling, especially in traffic. I told the dealer about it but I never did find out what caused it.

Did they find out anything? How about the recall? Did you do that?
Maysam 05-29-2008, 10:25 AM Hey guys
today I received my car from the service and they took it for a test drive and didnt find anything wrong but they did a full checkup, cleaned the engine and updated it to the latest software ..
so I really hope this thing wont happen again cos it will be to way dangerous if it happen while I'am driving on the high way or something ..
Maysam 05-29-2008, 10:41 AM yah Iremembered one thing when I called to tell them about my problem i directly called the british manager and told him everything. He said that this kind of problem regularly occurs in "Chargers" but for the first time he receives a complain regarding an Avenger !!
Sphinx 05-29-2008, 01:38 PM Well lets hope that what they did fixed the problem. That is just odd that the Chargers over there are seeing this problem regularly. Did they find the problem for them? Maybe it is the same issue.
