Mother n Law has a 2009 Dodge Avenger SXT with the 2.4L and it just won't go over 20mph which I'm assuming is limp mode. How do you get it out of limp mode?

Designed by motorcycle riders for fellow explorers, Butler Maps is a treasure map for all scenic roads, featuring immense detail and information from section breakdowns, mileage, and elevation profiles with route planning and permitting information.

Fender x Teufel Rockster Go 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
We all love listening to music around a campfire or a podcast while preparing a meal. Our Land Rover Defender doesn’t have a great sound system, and even if it did, we couldn’t hear it, so we always pack a Bluetooth speaker when we travel. The Fender x Teufel Rockstar Go 2 is an excellent option for the great outdoors, but remember, no one wants to hear your music in the next camp. It is waterproof and dustproof and has a rubberized exterior for accidental drops on rocks or trails. The impressive audio performance with a rich bass makes this speaker popular. It also has an impressive 28-hour battery life, a USB-C charging port, and the astonishing ability to pair up to 100 speakers.
