First is the cruise control - it sometimes work, sometimes does not. But when it does, it will at times kick on and off while in use. Scary at times. The next is the loss of power on the freeway. there are times when it will just bog down and not accelerate. other times it will catch and shift hard, other times will jerk. when these times occur, the check engine light comes on. But then will go off after a period of minutes.

Car constantly stalls while driving and goes into neutral while driving as well. Recently, I was meeting up with my husband and I came to a red light and my car wouldn’t stop. My car finally stopped in time thank God; but when I went on to continue driving the car would not move or shift into other gears. Police came and car got towed, huge safety concern!
I was backing out of the driveway to go to work and my car suddenly stopped. All the lights on the shifter had turned red and moving the shifter did nothing. I restarted the car and everything worked normally but I am concerned about my car doing it again while driving on a busy road and put mine and other drivers safety in jeopardy. The car is available for inspection at any time. There were no other inspections or warning signs of this happening.

Car suddenly shuts off
A recall on the shifter cable bushing was said to be completed on 01/15/20 at Shelor Motor Mile, Christiansburg, VA. On 08/21/21, the bushing broke and came off the shifter cable, leaving the car stuck in gear. In between the time of the alleged recall repair and this happening (~18 months), my car was driven from 40,000 to 60,000 miles. I believe the dealer dishonestly said they fixed the recall to pocket money and banking it wouldn’t fail in my car. This was a safety issue to me and could have been much worse. A recalled part that was fixed should not have failed less than 2 years and 20,000 miles later. I am now left to fix the repairs on my own. This dealer should be investigated to ensure others are getting their recalls properly taken care of so it is not a threat to their life/property.
The incident that occurred involved my clutch and transmission. I had purchased the car (8/17/2021)about 2 weeks before complete failure. Everything was going fine until I entered the freeway (8/26/2021)and after driving around 5 miles in 6th gear doing about 65 with no initial issues, I started to smell something burning. I immediately looked for the safest way to get out of traffic. While slowing, gears weren’t shifting and I was basically stuck in neutral. I only had control of brakes and steering wheel which caused me to have to make extremely dangerous evasive maneuvers. Once safe, I was able to find the source of the smoke. Which turned out to be dot 3 from where, what I think is the slave cylinder connects to the top of the transmission. I was able to remove it to check for damage/defection. It was dripping dot 3 and I didn’t see any noticeable defects. Plugged it back. Tried to drive and the clutch engages to start vehicle/change gears. But gears were able to change without clutch as well. Yet i couldn’t get out of neutral. Towed it home, next day clutch pedal was on the floor with no pressure. All components are available for inspection upon request, the safety of everyone involved was put at risk due to me not having any control of anything but the brakes and steering; with no warning or idea of what could be wrong due to the instantaneous nature of the disastrous incident. On a public highway with people going speeds of up to 85 mph. I have not been able to get confirmation or reproduction by anyone. I have not had any inspection due to my lack of knowledge on this process. There was no warning light or indication that the incident was going to happen until I had limited-no control.
I have had repeated transmission problems with my 2013 Dodge Dart. The first time it went out was at 14k miles then again at 16k. Even after fixing it, it would downshift very violently at times. At 85k it went out again with no warning in the middle of a five lane highway. It took several times of the dealer trying to repair it for them to get it to drive without it just going into neutral and not move. The transmission worked but there was still a jerking when it downshifted. The shifter went out at 136K. They ended up replacing the whole shifting mechanism to make it work. Several times in the last four years it would go into neutral while driving and would rev up really high. I would ask at the dealership and they would say they couldn’t find anything. At 172K the transmission just stopped working and it says “gear not found”. The dealership says that the repairs are now more than the car is worth. So frustrating!
The seat belt warning light will continue to beep and flash when someone is in the seat and has the seatbelt on, also my car is unable to be parked for more than one day without starting it or it drains the battery and then has to be jump started with another car for it to run again and then the battery has to be replaced this seems like a serious defect the car should be able to sit for at least a couple days and be fine and this is during regular temperature times also so it's very strange it definitely seems like electrical issues.
The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that when the vehicle was stopped at a red light or stop sign, it loss motive power and the transmission would inadvertently shift into neutral. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was a recall repaired in 2018, for the transmission control module relating to the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 77,890.
Car in park with emergency brake on abs will not turn off. Says vehicle not in park. Took several times shifting back and forth to get the car to turn off.
I bought my 2013 Dodge Dart (I bought it used and out of warranty-it is now a little over 100,000 miles). My girlfriend was driving it down a four lane highway when all of a sudden the car came to a complete stop, it wouldn’t go into drive, reverse or parks, my girlfriend had to push the car off of a four lane highway and out of the way of oncoming traffic. The accelerator would not work, and it said "service transmission". I looked it up and it's a recall issue (recall R42) for Dodge Darts made between 2013 and 2015 Darts with a 1.4l engine and a dry dial clutch transmission (I have this model). I got it to a local dealership (who said the recall was fixed in august 2016) and they've had it for almost a week and called today and said there are no issues with the transmission and that it's driving fine that the only issue they see would be the spark plugs. (Spark plugs wouldn't cause all of that). This is a safety issue that could’ve caused an accident, my family was in the car and had they crashed and my family got hurt Stellantis/Chrysler wouldn’t hold any accountability. The recall customer service center claims it is their policy that after a recall there is a two year warranty and that I had passed that two year mark, regardless of the same parts malfunctioning from the previous recall I would be responsible to pay for the transmission control module being replaced. I work at the Belvidere Assembly Plant that produced the Dodge Darts, this is how they treat their customers and employees. I’ve taken good care of all the routine maintenance, The car is under 10 years old and the recall should be taken care of.
I have a 2013 Dodge Dart that's been having issues since i got the car. First my transmission goes out, get a new one 02/21 then 7/21 service transmission. Take my car to the shop the TCM needs to be replace. My car would start and move than all of sudden i can't move Auto Stick unavailable shift to N then D then my car is stuck. I can't move only can drift. This is crazy I see that the Dodge Dart has 6 recall and i only received recall postcard for bushel cords? My car is having the same problems the recall was inplace for but my car doesn't qualify? My life don't matter huh? The car doesn't have many miles on the car, i service my car (oil changes, tires rotated and replace) I just don't understand. Someone is going to get hurt driving these Dodge Darts.
The failure was when i was shifting gear .so i shifted 5 to 4,3,2 and thats when it stayed in 2 gear .i exit the freeway and drove the street to my home .the vechicle at that point only travel 21 mph .2 years prior i had a similar issue on the freeway and my kids where with me at the time of the failure. So i had to pull to the shoulder and try to encounter the issue at a peaceful way .like i said i had my kids with me and 9:45 p.m. .so i tooked me 2 hours to move the vehicle to a safer place and had my friend give me a ride home .next day i have the tow truck picked up the vehicle and take it to dodge dealer .they fixed it with no charge towards me .but now this second time they are not trying to help out .either Toyota who sold the car .or dodge the dealer.or Chrysler the manufacturer wont help.and dodge is saying the vehicle requires a new motor at the cost of $13,000 dollars.
The windshield wipers do not turn off no matter what . Nothing was wrong with them before . It started all a sudden when I would signal. Then then they stayed on. I have read many others Dodge Dart owners have the same issue. . I have seen there is a recall for the 2016 but not the 2013 that has the same issues.
The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate and loss motive power with the accelerator pedal depressed. The vehicle is not drivable. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the manufacturer nor dealer was notified of the failure. The contact mentioned NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V542000 (Power Train), 13V238000 (Power Train) as possible solutions to the failure however, the Vin was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 77,286.
On June 16, 2021 I exited a parking lot and joined a line of traffic that was stopped for a stoplight. Traffic began to move and as I stepped on the accelerator the engine started ROARING and the car accelerated uncontrollably across the opposite lane and into a utility pole. It was totaled and I was left badly bruised by the airbag explosion; I have also found I have strange noises in my ears and am seeing an otolaryngologist for that. The car has ben disposed of and I don't know where it is. I am fortunate that there was no oncoming traffic, no one was on the sidewalk and I was the sole occupant of the vehicle. The only one who may have inspected the car was the insurance adjuster. There was no warning of any kind and I had never experienced this before.
I was trying to use the windshield washer while driving home and the wipers turned on but no fluid came out. I assumed I was out of fluid and tried to turn the wipers off to find they stayed on while when I put them in the off position. I tried to change the speed of the wipers and they just stayed in the normal on speed no matter what setting I set them at including off. So for the next 40 miles I drove into the sun on a 90 degree day with the wipers on. There were no warning lights or anything. I took it to the repair shop and they assessed that it was the wiper functions on the multifunction switch malfunctioned, even though the turn signal and headlight functions remained intact, and the switch needed to be replaced, a part that costs $497.66. I decided against the repair at the time and they disconnected the wiper motor for me so the wipers were not continuously on and potentially ruining the windshield, although leaving me completely blind if it were to start to rain. I have since traded in the vehicle for another one so I can't offer it up for inspection but I can get you my records.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the ignition switch was not making good contact and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
06/08/2021. My daughter stopped to gas up at Costco when a notice came up on the dash "Engage Parking Brake to prevent Rollback". She immediately called me to make me aware of it. Once home she again get this message. 06/09/2021. My daughter drove to school with no issues. However, leaving school she was going slowly over a speed bump when the car automatically shifted into PARK. She lost acceleration and the car rolled backwards off of the speed bump while she was wrestling with controlling the steering. The car shuts off and she was unable to start it again. She immediately called me and told me the message displayed again from yesterday "Engage Parking Brake to prevent Rollback". Now the car won't start. I am now on my way to the school when she calls me back to say it started and she is on her way home. I told her to be very careful. 06/10/2021. I drove the car while my daughter followed me to the dealership. On the way to the dealership at every stop the message displayed "Engage Parking Brake to prevent Rollback". While at the dealership I explained the problem and I had brought all repair documents that stated the same issue occurred in a repair with my son (twice), with me, and now with my daughter. It all stem from gear shift cable/bushings/TCM/transmission, which then was covered under warranty or recall. I emphatically didn't want to waste time with a diagnostic when I am sure its related to past repairs. The service tech was trying to convince me it could be something else and the diagnostics will tell them the true cause. I was reluctant but agreed for the diagnostic. I did state that what that diagnostic will show is that the transmission/recall is faulty. 06/11/21. The service tech called me to say the car coded P07B4 [Park Positioning Sensor]. However he never called it a Transmission Park Positioning Sensor because in my opinion this part should be covered under the transmission warranty (see Manual - Parts Covered - Transmission:).
Failure in The transmission control module (tcm) causing the car to shift to neutral when driving and also not letting the car shift to any other gear past 2nd my safety and others are at risk because I can be rear ended due to it randomly going into neutral it has been confirmed by many mechanics and there are warning lights such as the check engine light confirming it
FCA has issued Customer Satisfaction Notification (W20) regarding excessive oil consumption for vehicles equipped with the 2.4L MultiAir engine. It does not currently cover the 2013 model year Dodge Dart. I have a 2013 Dodge Dart that seems to have this problem. I have to continuously monitor the engine oil level and add as needed. The amount is inconsistent and you will never know if the level will fall low enough to stall the engine between the times that the level is checked. My complaint is that FCA should expand the notification to include all model years that are equipped with this engine. Attached is a copy of the W20 I received for my 2014 Dart which does not have the problem. I bought the 2013 without knowing it had this problem.
Despite saying there are no open recalls on my vehicle it does seem to malfunction the same as the last recall. The vehical got stuck in drive last week and had to use the emergency brake to keep it from rolling. After having it towed (friday) to my dealership and manual override to put it in park, it acted normal. The car was looked at the following morning and they could not get it to malfunction. I picked it Monday because I have a warranty that will cover it but they can't do anything unless it is acting up. Today I went to go to tue store and it is stuck in park. I just want to make sure that if any cars were missed in the last recall it can be addressed. Or if it is one of the included vehicles, figure out if it was actually repaired.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON ONE DAY AFTER USING THE TURN SIGNAL AND HAVE NOT SHUT OFF. MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED AND ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. CURRENTLY THE WIPER MOTOR IS DISCONNECTED TO PREVENT WIPERS FROM RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALL AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. DEALERSHIP WANTS MONEY TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC AND THEN MORE MONEY FOR LABOR TO FIX THE ISSUE THEY FIND. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR DISTRACTION AND VISIBILITY FOR THE DRIVER.
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE AND JERKED REALLY HARD. MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE RPM'S JUST KEPT RIVING UP BUT CAR WAS NOT GOING ANY FASTER. IT HAS DONE THIS TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK. THE DEALERSHIP PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND RAN SOME TESTS AND CLEARED OUT ALL CODES AND UPDATED SOME STUFF AND TOLD ME TO LET HI KNOW IF THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. WELL ON THE WAY HOME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND DID THE SAME THING AND JERKED REALLY HARD MAKING MY CAR SLOW DOWN AND NOT ACCELERATE. THE CODE SAYS THE PCM/TCM BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. IT ACTS LIKE IT DOESNT WANT TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR.
I WAS DRIVING AND WHILE I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SO I TEND TO ALWAYS PUT IT IN THE N POSITION SO THAT I CAN REST MY LEG WHILE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ON AND ONCE TRAFFIC STARTED TO MOVE I ATTEMPTED TO PUT IT IN THE D POSITION TO MOVE FORWARD AND STARTED TO NOTICE A IT TO BE DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE AUTOMATIC STICK BUT DID NOT REALLY THINK MUCH OF IT BUT I KNEW ONCE I GET BACK INTO MY STATE I WOULD TAKE IT TO GET LOOKED AT. ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE HIGH WAY OF A 3-HOUR DRIVE, I STARTED TO WORRY SINCE MY CAR SOUNDED LIKE IF I HAD A ROCK BOUNCING IN MY TRANSMISION SO APROCHING TO A TOLL PAY STAND I DECIDED TO PUT IT ON N POSITION TO KEEP IT RUNNING BUY MAKE A STOP ON THE SIDE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO SO I TRY TO PUT IT ON D AGAIN TO SEE IF IT RESPONDED AND THAT WAS WHAT MADE US KNOW WE WERE IN TROUBLE. I COULD NOT CONTROL MY DODGE DART.

EVER SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2013 WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN NUMEROUS TIMES AS THE PANEL WOULD JUST GO BLANK FROM TIME TO TIME AND HEATER WOULD GO FULL BLAST NO WAY TO CONTROL RADIO OR ANYTHING THROUGH THE PANEL. I WOULD ALSO COMPLAIN THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD STICK MEANING ONLY WHEN I WOULD BE IN REVERSE IT WOULD STICK AND NOT GO INTO DRIVE UNLESS YOU FORCED IT TO THE LEFT AND BACK INTO DRIVE IT WOULD CATCH THE GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN A NON GOING THING THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP WE WENT AS FAR AS FILING A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AS THAT IS THE NUMBER DEALERSHIP REFERRED US TOO. THEY SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE CAR, BUT WE GOT NO WHERE WITH IT AND FINALLY WARRANTY WAS UP AND THEN THEY WANTED ALOT OF MONEY TO REPLACE THE PANEL AFTER IT HAD BEEN REPLACED BEFORE BY THEM. OUR CHART IS PROBABLY SO THICK IN REGARDS TO THE SAME WRONG MALFUNCTION. IT ONLY HAPPENS DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AS RIGHT NOW ITS DOING IT AGAIN AND I AM SURE WITH THE STICKING AND US NEEDING TO FORCE IT INTO DRIVE IS PROBABLY NOT A GOOD THING EITHER. I HAVE THROWN MY HANDS UP IN THE AIR WITH THIS CAR AND TRYING TO GET SOMEONE TO HELP ME, BUT I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR. I WOULD JUST LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO DO RIGHT BY THIS LEMON THEY MAKE IT SO HARD TO CONSTANTLY TRY AND FOLLOWUP OR THEY KEEP GIVING US DIFFERENT NUMBERS WITH NO CALL BACK.

JUST CALL ME PLEASE
DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR.
PARKING BRAKE ON MY 2013 DODGE DART 1.4L TURBO LIMITED DOES NOT HOLD MY VEHICLE IN PLACE. I HAVE ADJUSTED THE CABLE SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE REPLACED BOTH REAR CALIPERS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM GETS STUCK IN THE LOADED/PARKED POSITION AND WILL NOT RETURN TO IT RESTING POSITION. I HAVE HAD TO APPLY LUBRICANT TO IT AND MANIPULATE BACK AND FORTH TO FREE IT, AFTER DOING THIS I HAD TO ADJUST THE CABLE UNDER THE CONSOLE. MY CAR IS A MANUAL 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD NICE TO HAVE A PARKING BRAKE THAT WOULD NOT HAVE TO ADJUST CONSTANTLY.
THE SHIFTER LINKAGE BUSHING BROKE AND FELL FROM THE HOUSING RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE TO BE STUCK IN REVERSE. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE.
AFTER RECEIVING MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I CONTACTED THEM ABOUT IT AND HE HOOKED IT UP TP MACHINE TOLD ME TO WATCH FOR THE LIGHT AGAIN AND LET HIM KNOW. I DONT DRIVE MY CAR MUCH SO IT WAS ABOUT A WEEK LATER WHEN I NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN SO I TOOK IT TO OREILLEY'S AND THE CODE P2096 WHICH IS FUEL TO RATIO WHICH HAS BEEN A PROBLEM MORE THEN I CAN COUNT. MY CAR ALWAYS SMELLS LIKE GAS FUMES THAT'S WHY I TRY NOT TO DRIVE IT UNLESS I CAN KEEPS WINDOWS DOWN BECAUSE THE SMELL IS VERY STRONG. I WAS DRIVING TODAY AND IT KEPT STALLING AND WHEN II WOULD START TO GO FROM A DEAD STOP ONCE IT SHIFTED INTO 2ND IT WOULD JERK REAL HARD LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP AGAIN. THE LIGHT OF COURSE COMES BACK ON AFTER THEY CLEAR UT OUT AND IT MAY HAVE SAME CODE OR IT MAY BE DIFFERENT EACH TIME. I AM TIRED OF RISKING MY LIFE AND OTHERS BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I'VE HAD FOR 6 YEARS NOW AND HAVE SO MANY ODI COMPLAINTS WITH NHTSA AND COMPLAINTS WITH FCA I COULD HAVE MY OWN CAR COMPLAINT WEBSITE. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THEM TAKE MY CAR IN FOR TESTING OF QUIALITY OF CARS AND PROVE TO EVERYONE THIS WAS A LEMON CAR NO IF, ANDS, OR BUTTS ABOUT IT. THERE IS 1 IN HOWEVER MANY CARS THAT ARE LEMONS AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM.550 DAYS IN THE SHOP BEING FIXED THAT MANY TIMES THAT FOR MORE THEN AN ENTIRE YEAR MY CAR WAS BEING WORKED ON. SHOULD THAT BE ENOUGH OR IS SOMEONES LIFE GONNA BE WHAT OPENS EYES. I'VE GOT ,MORE DOCUMENTS TO SHOW THE MANY MANY PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD AND HAVE PASSED THEM ALONG TO MY ATTORNEY SO IF SOMETHING HAPPENS IN RESULT OF THIS UNSAFE CAR THERE WILL BE ACTION TAKEN.
MY DODGE DART WIPERS REMAIN TURNED ON, WITH NO ABILITY TO CONTROL THE SPEEDS OR USE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID. AFTER INSPECTING, THE CONTROL RIBBON CABLE RUBS AGAINST PLASTIC WHENEVER BLINKERS ARE USED. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH WHEN DRIVING IN BAD WEATHER. DODGE NEEDS A RECALL BECAUSE OF THIS DESIGN. I CAN HAVE THE PART REPLACED, HOWEVER IT COULD JUST REOCCUR AGAIN. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES
THE CLUTCH SUNK IN - GOT STUCK - AND IT DID NOT RETRACT. I HAD TO PHYSICALLY RETRACT THE CLUTCH WITH MY FOOT IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY SWITCH GEARS WHILST I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY WHERE THE COMMON SPEED IS 70+ MPHS. THIS CONTINUED AS I WAS TRYING TO REDUCE THE SPEED IN ORDER TO EXIT THE FREEWAY FOR SAFETY. THIS HAS NOT BEEN THE FIRST TIME AND IT HAPPENED TO ME - BUT THIS IS THE MOST RECENT ACCOUNT OF EVENTS. USUALLY WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.
MY 2013DODGE DART CRANKS BUT WONT START THIS HAPPENED SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING
I WAS DRIVING OVER A MOUNTAIN PASS WHEN I GOT A MESSAGE "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE" AFTER PUTTING ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO THROUGH THE GEARS. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME WITH VEHICLE BARELY GOING THROUGH GEARS WHEN SLOWED AND THEN SPEEDING UP. I HAD NO REVERSE WHEN STOPPED TO HAVE CHECKED AND LEAVING THE PARKING LOT. I HAD PROBLEMS GETTING BACK UP TO DRIVING SPEED AFTER SLOWING DOWN.
MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS WON'T TURN ON ANYMORE. AND I'VE SEARCHED UP THIS PROBLEM TO TRY TO FIX IT, BUT IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. IT CAN CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE DURING HEAVY RAINS BECAUSE THE I COULDN'T TURN ON THE WIPERS TO WIPE THE RAIN WATERS AWAY. DRIVING BACK FROM WARREN, IN TO FORT WAYNE, IN WAS A SCARY TRIP THROUGH THE I-69 SOUTH AND US 33 S ROUTE, THE HEAVY RAIN BLINDED AND COVERED EVERYTHING ON THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE ROADS AND OTHER MV WAS HARDLY ABLE TO SEE, ALL I CAN SEE WAS A GLIMPSE OF BLURRY YELLOW LIGHTS FROM THE SEMI TRUCKS. PLEASE HAVE THIS RECALL, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED THE RECALLS ALL HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF MULTIPLE TIMES AND YET THE SAME PROBLEM I NEED A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE I'VE SPENT WAY MORE THAN THE VEHICLES WORTH
WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSH IT WAS HARD AS A ROCK AND NO BRAKES, HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP ,ALMOST GETTING HIT IN A INTERSECTION. FOUND THAT THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP HAD SEIZED AND CHECK VALVE TO BOOSTER HAD FAILED INTRODUCING ENGINE OIL INTO BRAKE BOOSTER. DEALERSHIPS HAVE CLAIMED IT WAS NO PROBLEM WHEN RECALL WAS ISSUED AND ANOTHER SAID RECALL HAS EXPIRED. I THOUGHT THEY HAVE UP TO 8 TO 10 YEARS TO FIX SAFETY RECALLS.
THE CAR ONLY HAS 65,374 MILES ON IT AND IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION.
WHEEL LUGS SWELL AND BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE FROM THE WHEEL HUB, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE, A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM ON BUSY STREETS. VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE TOWED, WITH EXPENSIVE REPAIRS, SIMPLY TO CHANGE A TIRE. AN INTERNET SEARCH CONFIRMED THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY DODGE DART OWNERS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER AND RESTARTED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH IN LOCAL TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE HAZARD LIGHTS WHILE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.
THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLES COMPUTER SYSTEM. MY IPHONE NO LONGER CONNECTS TO THE CAR VIA BLUETOOTH, THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SCREEN WILL SHUT DOWN AND RELOAD RANDOMLY, THE REVERSE CAMERA GOES IN AND OUT (SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T, AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE BUTTONS ON THE RADIO FUNCTION WON'T WORK AT ALL.
BACK IN THE BEGINNING OF 2019 I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT WAS CAUSING A JERKING MOTION WHEN I ACCELERATED AND I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. I INITIALLY HAD A CODE COME UP STATING THAT I NEEDED TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION. IT WOULD COME ON AND CLEAR ITSELF BEFORE I COULD GET IT LOOKED AT. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS OR MORE AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THEM AND DISCUSSED THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION THEY DISMISSED ME AS THAT WASN'T THE ISSUE BUT, AT THAT POINT I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED INTO THE SHOP BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE IT. THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED THE TRANSMISSION RECALL AND I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY CAR SITTING FOR THE LAST YEAR AND 2 MONTHS DUE TO MY INABILITY TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF WHATEVER ISSUES THAT WERE GOING ON THAT THEY NEVER FIXED. I AM UNSURE OF THE DAMAGE THAT THIS HAS CAUSED AND I AM HOPING THAT YOU GUYS WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT I CAN DO TO HAVE THEM NOW FIX MY CAR. SINCE THERE IS POSSIBLY ADDITIONAL DAMAGE DONE TO MY VEHICLE DUE TO THEM DISMISSING ME I FEEL THAT IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THAT DAMAGE AS WELL. THE DATE I GAVE WAS AN APPROXIMATE DATE SINCE IT HAS BEEN SO LONG I AM UNSURE OF THE EXACT DATE BUT CAN GET A COPY OF THE DOCUMENTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP IF NEEDED.
THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION SIGNAL KEEPS COMING ON TO THE DASH BOARD THE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO GO IN GEAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE. SOMETIMES IT GIVES TROUBLE GOING FORWARD & IT SWITCHES AUTOMATICALLY TO NEUTRAL. 2013 IS THE WORST MODEL I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH IT SINCE I GOT IT.
THE ENGINE IS STALLING WHEN EVER THE CAR IS DRIVEN AND ALSO THE PCM IS UNABLE TO KEEP UP THE CHARGING.
WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP IT HESITATES AND JERKS IF YOU GIVE IT TOO MUCH GAS EVERY TIME YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OR SLOW TO A STOP SOMETHING POPPING IN THE FRONT END IF YOU TAKE OFF TOO FAST IT'LL BACKFIRE LITTLE POPS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ALWAYS COMING ON SAYING THAT WE HAVE MULTIPLE MISFIRES WHEN WE DON'T WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON THE AUTOMATIC START DOESN'T WORK AND WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS BLINKING
FEDERAL RECALL IN 2013 DODGE DART ON BRAKE BOOSTER, SERVICED IN 2016 FOR RECALL ONE PART REPLACED FOR RECALL, THE HOSE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FIND CONTAMINATION THEN! NOW MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ,SITTING AT CRYSLER DEALERSHIP NOW 2020 DUE TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER MANUFACTURING ISSUE, AS A SAFETY RECALL ,I THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COST TO FIX FEDERAL RECALL IN MY VEHICLE!!! IF ALL PARTS OF RECALL WERE REPLACED BACK WHEN RECALL WAS ISSUED I WOULD NOT BE RUNNING INTO SAFETY ISSUES RELATING TO MY PROBLEMS NOW! MY BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR ,AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE WITH MY FAMILY! SAFETY RECALL R63 BRAKE BOOSTER
CAR RANDOMLY REVS AND GOES INTO A STEALTH MODE WHERE YOU MUST DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE ENGINE. ALSO THE CAR RANDOMLY STATES THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK WHEN IT IS AND YOU MUST CONTINUOUSLY PULL THE CAR OUT OF PARK AND BACK INTO PARK FOR THE CAR TO RECOGNIZE ITS ACTUALLY IN PARK.
I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BODY CONTROL MODULE AND THIS DAMAGING ALL MY VEHICLES SENSORS AS THE SENSORS ARE DAMAGED THE ACTUAL SYSTEM WHICH IS THE ENGINE AND THE MECHANICAL SYSTEM IS DAMAGED AND CAR WON'T START IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THEN AFTER FEW TRIALS I SOME HOW STARTED IT AND THEN IT STALLS BUT THIS STALLING IS REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE BCM IS SENDING WRONG SIGNALS TO THE ACCELERATOR AND IT ACCELERATES EVEN I HAVE EASED THE GAS SO IF ANYTHING HAPPENS LATER OR NOW I WOULD BLAME DODGE FOR MAKING SUCH A WORST CAR AND ALSO THE NHTSA FOR GIVING DODGE THE PERMISSION.
HI MY DODGE DART HAS THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON I HAVEN'T BEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR ANY THING IT'S A SAFETY MATTER IF I WAS TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT GO OFF ME AND ALL MY PASSENGERS COULD BE SEVERELY INGERED OR DEAD WITCH WOULD LEAD TO A PRITTY PENNY LAWSUIT THE AIRBAG LIGHT JUST CAME ON IT WAS JUST SITTING IN THE YARD AND THEN I WENT TO START IT AND WHEN IT STARTED THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SO I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH TO FINDS OUT WHAT IT MEANT AND FOUND OUT THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT MENT THAT THE AIRBAG MAY NOT COME OUT AT IMPACT AND IT'S A PRITTY PRICY FIX SO HOPEFULLY Y'ALL CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT SO IT DOESN'T END UP A TRAGITY
ALL INTERNAL LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS START FLICKERING THE TRUNK OPENS UP BY ITSELF THE CAR STARTS BY ITSELF SHUTS OFF WHEN RUNNING. AFTER DRIVING FOR UP TO 30 TO 30 MINUTES TO 1 HOUR THE CAR START GOING INTO THIS MODE WHERE IT WITH THE HORN WOULD BE THE DOORS WOULD JUST UNLOCK BY HIMSELF THE IF I'M PARKING MY CAR FOR THE NIGHT THE CAR I JUST START UP BY ITSELF WITHOUT THE KEY BEING IN THE CAR IF I'M DRIVING THE CAR A SHUT OFF IN MID DRIVE AND A PARKING AT THE RED LIGHT THESE ARE ALL THE ISSUES THAT I'M HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE THE HORN THE ALARM COMES ON WITHOUT THE KEY IN IT.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED. COMPLETELY BLACKED OUT. CAN'T SEE MILEAGE, GAS GAUGE, RPM INSIDE LIGHTS STAY ON. DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK AS DRIVING.
FIRST MY WIPER FLUID WOULD NOT SPRAY, WHICH CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THEN, ONE DAY I WENT TO PUT MY TURN SIGNAL ON AND MY WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN OFF FROM THAT MOMENT FORWARD. IT WAS NOT RAINING AND THE WIPERS WERE NOT ON ALREADY. MY CAR WAS IN PARK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. PARKED ON A SUBURBAN STREET. I WAS ADVISED IT'S AN ISSUE WITH THE RIBBON IN THE CONTROL ARM. I HAVE AVOIDED ACCIDENTS, BUT I ALSO CANNOT DRIVE AT ALL IF IT'S RAINING. I HAD MY FRIEND CUT THE POWER FROM THE MOTOR B/C OF COURSE NO FUSE. MY WIPERS WOULDN'T STOP MOVING AND THEN THEY STARTED STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING WHICH BECAME EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. IT'S EXTREMELY COSTLY TO FIX.
WHEN I HAD THE MECHANIC LOOK AT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, HE ADVISED THAT THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FUEL SYSTEM.. SO MY CAR SLOWLY, VERY SLOWLY LEAKS GASOLINE. THIS STARTED THE SAME TIME AS THE WIPERS, AND THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR, AND THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. HAS TO BE RELATED OR AN AFFECT OF ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON BACK IN APRIL 2018, BEFORE THE RECALL WITH THE TRANSMISSION CAME OUT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN THAT HAPPENED I KNEW I WOULD HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR BEFORE I COULD ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH. THEN THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. NOW THE LIGHT ALWAYS STAYS ON ALONG WITH THE ABS SENSOR LIGHT. MY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR IS ALSO BAD AND KEEPS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.
WHEN I MAKE RIGHT TURNS MY LEFT SPEAKER CUTS OUT. MY TRUNK ALSO WILL OPEN ON ITS OWN AND THE ALARM WILL GO ON AND OFF BY ITSELF ALL THE TIME. I WILL BE IN MY HOUSE NO WHERE NEAR MY KEYS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY ALARM WILL START GOING OFF.
MY CLUTCH HAS WENT OUT FOR THE 3RD TIME SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. IT APPEARS THAT EVERY 2 YEARS AFTER THE FIRST YEAR I HAVE TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH. IT ISN'T COVERED BECAUSE THEY SAY IT IS WEAR AND TEAR. WHEN I WENT ONLINE I FOUND THAT MANY MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS. THIS CAR WAS POORLY DESIGNED AND THE COMPANY REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THE CLUTCH WAS APPARENTLY DESIGNED TO STAY ENGAGED WHICH WEARS IT OUT WITHOUT THE USER DOING ANYTHING. 2 TIMES IT HAS WENT OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET ONCE WHILE TRYING TO TURN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THIS IS CRAZY AND I SHOULD PROBABLY BE FILED UNDER A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE AGAINST CHRYSLER
1ST INCIDENT: DROVE MY GIRLFRIEND TO WORK. CAME HOME AND PARKED THE CAR. WENT BACK OUT AND IT KEPT SAYING GEAR NOT FOUND. THEY HAD TO PUT A WIRE ON MY TRANSMISSION MODULE, OR SAID I COULD BY A NEW ONE. 2ND FOR ABOUT THE LAST YEAR IT WON'T FIND THE GEAR. SAYS GO TO NEUTRAL THEN DRIVE. SOMETIMES WON'T GO TO ANYTHING. 3RD. WIPERS WENT ON AND WOULDN'T TURN OFF. SPRAYER DOESN'T WORK. LADY ON THE PHONE SAID THE RECALL WAS FIXED IN 2016. BUT OBVIOUSLY IT IS STILL AN ISSUE.
CLUTCH GOING TO THE FLOOR

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PERSISTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST PURCHASED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 86,000.*DT*JB
BUSHING ON THE SHIFT CABLE OF THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION COMES LOOSE. CAR CANNOT BE SHIFTED. THIS OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT BUT COULD HAVE OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. BASICALLY, THE CAR REMAINS STUCK IN ONE GEAR. NOTE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BUT NOT THE MANUAL. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM.
THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT BELOW HIGHWAY SPEEDS, EG CROSSING AN INTERSECTION IN SUBURBAN NEW JERSEY. THE ENGINE CUTS OUT, RANDOM MESSAGES ON THE INFORMATION CENTER APPEAR, AND THE DRIVE MUST COAST TO A STOP AND RESTART THE CAR. IT'S UNPREDICTABLE AND INTERMITTENT, WITH NO OBD CODE TO HELP DEALER DIAGNOSE OR REPLICATE. THE CAUSE IS PRESENTLY UNKNOWN DESPITE DEALER EFFORT.
USED MY TURN SIGNALS AND WIPERS CAME ON AND WOULD NOT STOP UNLESS ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF COST $739.00 TO REPAIR CAR, I BELIEVE THIS IS A RECALLABLE EVENT?THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER DODGE CUSTOMER.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING AND VEHICLE CONTROL WAS LOST. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A NEIGHBOR HOUSE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THE MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING WHEN THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE HOUSE BUT DID NOT DO ANY DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND DROPPED CAUSING IT TO NOT BE POSITIONED ACCURATELY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FAILED. THE DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH AND GOING AROUND A ROUNDABOUT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. A WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDICATING AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFT NOT AVAILABLE PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT COASTED INTO A DRIVEWAY. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER BUT WAS TAKEN LATER TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,079.
THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL ON IT'S OWN, FOR US IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN WE STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THEN IT'S DISPLAYED TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN TO DRIVE OR REVERSE, THIS MAY HAVE TO BE PERFORMED TWO OR THREE TIMES BEFORE THE CAR MOVE, THEN WE ONLY HAVE THE EVEN OR THE ODD GEARS DEPENDING ON WITCH CLUTCH ACTIVATES. THIS HAPPENED ON A FOUR LANE SUBURBAN ROAD WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 50 MPH AND WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GETS TO FULL TEMPERATURE. THIS VEHICLE HAD THE RECALL 15V-542 PERFORMED 08/25/15. AFTER SEVERAL TCM FAILURES ABUSING THE TRANSMISSION PRIOR TO THE RECALL, THE TRANSMISSION NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL ISSUE FIRST HAPPENED JULY OF 2014.
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON A BUSY ROAD MY MY CAR STARTED TO LOSS POWER, SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT WOULD'NT START BACK UP. THIS HAPPENDED IN JUNE 2020. I CALLED THE TOW TRUCK AFTER ABOUT A HOUR IN THE RAIN ONCE THE TOW TRUCK PULLS UP THE CAR FINALLY STARTS AND I GET THE CAR HOME. IT SHUTS OFF AGAIN ASSOON AS GET IN MY YARD. CHECKED THE FUSES, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, ETC. REPLACED A 200AMP FUSE AT THE BATTERY CAR WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. BAM THE CAR WILL NOT START ONCE AGAIN. ALL LIGHT ARE ON, BATTERY IS CHARGE FULLY THEDARN CARJUST WONT TURN ON. THIS IS A HARZARD COMPUTER CHECKS NOT ONE RECAL ON THIS ELECTICAL UNKNOW ISSUE, NOW I HAVE A RED BOX IN MY YARD THAT LOOKS PRETTY. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ELECTRICAL ISSUE, BUT WHEN I CALLED DODGE THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE.
THE BUSHING ON THE SHIFT CABLE KEEP BREAKING . THERE WAS A RECALL ON AUTOMATICS BUT NOT STANDARDS.
THE CAR SHUTS OFF. I WAS DRIVING AND THEN IT JUST WON'T GO ANYMORE. ITS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS! HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE SAME NIGHT
THE CAR STALLS... NORMALLY AFTER SLOWING DOWN & TURNING. TRANSMISSION INOPERABLE CODE ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS.
THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER / PARKING BRAKE IS CORRODING TO THE POINT OF INOPERABILITY. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD CHRYSLER REPLACE THE REAR CALIPER THAT WAS AFFECTED THE FIRST TIME, BUT IT IS NOW AGAIN STICKING DUE TO CORROSION AND RUST. THERE IS NO PROTECTION TO PREVENT SALT AND ROAD DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE BORE OF THE SHAFT THAT ENGAGES THE PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM IN THE CALIPER. THE CAR'S PARKING BRAKE LEVER WILL ENGAGE BUT THE PARKING BRAKE WILL ACTIVATE. THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL BACK (MANUAL TRANSMISSION). OTHER TIMES, THE PARKING BRAKE WILL BE ACTIVATED BY THE LEVER, ENGAGE AND WILL STICK ON, AND CAUSE THE REAR BRAKES TO OVERHEAT WHEN I DRIVE AWAY.
TL* THE CONTACT'S NEPHEW OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HER NEPHEW WAS DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO FOURTH GEAR. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITH THE PARKING BRAKES AND PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHILE INSPECTING UNDER THE HOOD, THE DRIVER NOTICED THE SHIFTIER CABLE WAS DETACHED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTS RESIDENCE AND THEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER OURISMAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF BOWIE LOCATED AT 2406 CRAIN HWY, BOWIE, MD 20716, (855) 822-3228, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING SHIFTER CABLE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN), HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,619.
SHIFT CONNECTOR CABLE GAVE OUT IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE IN MOTION. HAD TO REV A BIT HIGHER IN ORDER TO GET IT TO GAIN ANY MOMENTUM ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES. THE AUTOMATIC VERSION OF 2013 DODGE DARTS WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT FOR WHATEVER UNEXPLAINED REASON THEY DID NOT INCLUDE STANDARDS(STICK SHIFTS) IN THE RECALL AS FAR AS I CAN FIND ANYWHERE. MY CAR IS IN SHOP NOW WHILE I'M WORKING FAR FROM HOME ETC. DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
MY CAR IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTER. IT WON'T GO INTO PARK OR DRIVE PROPERLY IT ALSO LOCKS MY KEY FOB UP WHEN IT DOESN'T READ PARK. IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT 90% OF THE TIME IT DOES. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND PAID TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE SO THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT TO TEAR IT APART . THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED AND SAID THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WASN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I HAD THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY REPLACED ON MY OWN BECAUSE DODGE WANTED A OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT AND GO FIGURE IT WASN'T THE ISSUE BECAUSE MY CAR IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE I'VE READ HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CAN'T GET YOUR CAR TO GO INTO PARK AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO END UP SERIOUSLY HURT. ON A SIDE NOTE THEY DID HAVE A RECALL ON THE SHIFTER BUSHING WHICH I DID HAVE REPLACED AND IT DIDN'T HELP THE ISSUE EITHER. IN ORDER TO GET MY CAR TO GO INTO DRIVE I HAVE TO HIT THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE PIN UNDER THE SHIFTER ANYTIME IT JAMS UP ON ME. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE FROM WHAT I'VE READ IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN DODGE DARTS AND BY NO MEANS IS THIS OK FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE TO MAKE CAR PAYMENTS TO HAVE CARS THAT THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE IN.
TOOK A 100 MILE TRIP, WHEN I GOT HOME AND PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE I SMELLED A BURNT METALLIC/FIBER SMEALL. HALFWAY INTO MY TRIP I NOTICED THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER WAS HARD TO SHIFT. THE CAR IS A 2013 DODGE DART AERO WITH ALMOST ONLY 17,000 MILES ON. ALL SERVICE RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE. ALL RECALLS WERE DEALT WITH ALSO.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 50 MPH AND SHIFTING INTO FOURTH GEAR APPROACHING A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT GEAR. THE DRIVER STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE CONTACT STATED A FRIEND OF HER DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO ASSIST HER IN TOWING THE VEHICLE TO HER RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE AND THE RADIATOR WAS PUNCTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER PATTERSON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM LOCATED AT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM STORE (1611 US-259 BUS, KILGORE, TX 75662, (903) 871-7578), WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING MASTER SEAL FOR THE CLUTCH TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.
TRANSMISSION THROWS IN NEUTRAL AND WON'T GO FORWARD
MY VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO RECALLS DONE ON IT. TCM REPAIR AND TRANSMISSION CABLE BUSHING. I TOOK IT TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC. MY TCM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN & MY TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT SOMETIMES AFTER MY TRANSMISSION BUSHING REPAIR.
6 SPEED DODGE DART WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY, CAR TURNS ON BUT WON'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS WHEN ACCELERATED AND IN GEAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT THEN IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO MY RESIDENCE. I HAD A MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THEY BELIEVE IT IS A TRANSMISSION MOTOR CONTROL PROBLEM THAT OTHER 2013 DODGE DARTS HAVE ALSO ENCOUNTERED.
THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY MOVES TO NEUTRAL AND THE GEARS DO NOT WORK. I TOOK THE CAR FOR A RECALL ON CABLE BUSHING ON THE TRANSMISSION AND I CAN DRIVE THE CAR FOR A BIT BUT WILL FALL IN NEUTRAL BY ITSELF HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE FOR THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE CAR.
THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON WHEN A PASSENGER SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. WHEN DRIVING, THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON WHEN DRIVING WITH NO PASSENGER AND THEN STAYED ON. IN ADDITION, THE SEATBELT LIGHT WOULD BEEP EVEN WHEN THE PASSENGER BELT WAS PLUGGED IN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO DODGE FOR SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THE SEATBELT COULD NOT BE FIXED BECAUSE THE PART NEEDED WAS DISCONTINUED. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRE HARNESSES. THE DAY AFTER GETTING MY CAR BACK FROM BEING REPAIRED, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS BACK ON. IT CAME ON ONCE I STARTED THE CAR. IT NOW COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES DOES NOT GO OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS OFF.
RECALL R42 WAS COMPLETED ON MAY 7 2018, AS OF TODAY THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE ORIGINAL SAFETY RECALL BOTH THE DEALER AND FCA SAID THAT THE 2 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE TCM HAS EXPIRED BY 2 MONTHS. APPARENTLY THE SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES. THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR A NEW TCM. I FEEL THAT THE FIX THEY DID ORIGINALLY WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND DODGE SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BY TAKING CARE OF THE SAME PROBLEM.
STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND AND SERVICE POWER STEERING CAN ONLY MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARDS WHEELS WON'T TURN
I OWN A 2013 DODGE DART AND THE SHIFTER CABLE THAT WAS RECALLED IN MAY OF 2013 HAS FAILED AGAIN AND I CAN NOT TURN MY KEY ALL THE WAY TO THE OFF POSITION THEREFORE EITHER HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR RUNNING OR TURN IT WHERE IT SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE BUT DOESNT SHUT EVERYTHING ELSE OFF AND DOORS CAN NOT BE LOCKED. THE GEAR SHIFT CAN BE MOVED BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT IT BEING STARTED OR EVEN HAVING TO PUSH IN THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH IS HAZARDOUS. I TOOK THE BATTERY CABLES OFF SO IT WOULD NOT KILL MY BATTERY LEAVING EVERYTHING ON AND I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT SOME LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD KID DOESNT GET IN MY CAR BECAUSE IF THE GEAR KNOB IS ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED IT CAN ROLL AWAY. I HAVE REPEATEDLY REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AND I CAN ONLY GUESS THAT BECAUSE THEIR HAD BEEN NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURY REPORTED THEY WILL NOT INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT A LIFE ISNT THE COST OF THEIR SELFISHNESS TO LOOSING MONEY FOR DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THESE CARS.
I WAS IN STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT AT THE MALL AND MY CAR MOVED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN PARK. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT WAS HARD TO MOVE IT INTO DRIVE. ONCE I DID I DROVE IT AROUND A LITTLE BIT THINKING MAYBE SOMETHING WAS STUCK SO THEN I PUT IN PARK AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND IT WAS FINE. IT HAS DONE THIS ON A FEW OCCASIONS TO ME. I CALLED THE PLACE I GOT MY CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. FAST TRACK A FEW WEEKS LATER I GOT THE SAFETY RECALL IN FOR THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BRUSHING V34 THAT WAS FROM APRIL 2019 WHEN IT WAS MAY 2020. PLUS ON THE ONE RECALL PAPER I GOT IT ALSO SAYS I HAVE ANOTHER RECALL (V50) THAT WAS FROM LAST YEAR THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF. IT EXPLAINS THE SAME THING I WENT THROUGH COULD HAPPEN. I CALLED THE PLACE I GOT MY CAR AND THEY ONCE AGAIN TOLD ME THEY HAD NO IDEA. I CALLED A DODGE DEALERSHIP BUT TOLD ME DUE TO COVID THEY COULDNT FIX MY RECALL RIGHT NOW. I CALLED THE PLACE I GOT MY CAR AGAIN AND I ASKED ABOUT A RENTAL UNTIL I COULD GET THIS FIXED. THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN BUT I'D HAVE TO CONTINUE PAYING FOR MY DODGE DART THAT HAS A MAJOR RECALL ON IT PLUS THE RENTAL AND THE INSURANCE. SO I'VE BEEN DRIVING MY DART AROUND AND EVERY NOW AND THEN IT'LL DO IT BUT THE DEALERSHIPS KEEP TELLING ME THE SAME THING. I'M PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT SCARES ME TO DRIVE WITH A MAJOR RECALL THAT NOBODY CAN APPARENTLY FIX. I'M READY TO LEAVE IT AT THE LOT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER WITH THE RPM REVVED UP TO 6,000 RPM WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SPRADLEY AUTO NETWORK (2146 HIGHWAY 50, PUEBLO, CO 81008) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS STILL PENDING. THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 109,000.
I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH MY 2013 DODGE DART LIMITED. I PURCHASED IT WITH 36,900 MILES ON IT BACK IN JULY OF 2016. HERE WE ARE IN JULY OF 2020 AND THE CAR DOES NOT EVEN HAVE 67,000 MILES ON IT. MY PROBLEM LISTED WAS CREATED ONLY ROUGHLY A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING. THE ENTIRE UCONNECT SYSTEM MAKES MY VEHICLE UNABLE TO OPERATE SAFELY. WHETHER IT'S THE SCREEN GOING BLACK WHERE I CAN NOT CONTROL/CHANGE ANYTHING. THE TOUCH SCREEN IS EVERYTHING VOLUME, HVAC, BLUETOOTH, 'SUPPOSED TO WORK WITH REMOTE START. I HAVE HAD MY CODES CHECKED; CYLINDER 1 MODULE MISFIRE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH AND MY VEHICLE BEING STUCK UNABLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT SIMPLY WOULD NOT START(ACTED LIKE IT WOULD BUT WOULD NOT.) FOR THE ENTIRE WINTER OF 2018. COME SUMMER OF 2019 THE AIR WAS STILL HORRIBLEBUT MY INFANT WAS NOW IN THE VEHICLE. SEEING A POOR NEWBORN HAVE SWEAT ROLLING OFF HIS FACE ON A WAY TO A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT PROBABLY IS WHAT DONE ME IN THE MOST. THIS VEHICLE HAS SOME COOL UCONNECT BELLS AND WHISTLES BUT IT IS LIKE THEY ATTEMPTED TO PUT SOMETHING IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT CAPABLE OF HANDLING ALL THE ADVANCEMENTS. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES.I'VE REPLACED PARTS WITHIN THE HVAC TWICE! NOW MY ODOMETER IS BLINKING; RED FLAG.I AM SERIOUSLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. IT SITS FOR MOST OF THE TIME.IN THE LASR 2 YEARS I'VE MAYBE DRIVEN IT A TOTAL OF 5,000 IF THAT! I HAVE MY CAR ALMOST COMPLETELY PAID OFF AND HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN ABLE TO PUT OVER 31,000 MILES ON IT IN 4 FOUR YEARS!HOW ABSURD AND RIDICULOUS! THE DEALERSHIP ALWAYS WANT TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE MENTIONED THE ISSUES EACH TIME I'VE PAID FOR THEM PREVIOUSLY. THEY JUST HAVE 'QUICK FIX' AS THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME FOR THIS. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER GOING TO COLLEGE THAT CANNOT FINANCIALLY AFFORD ALL THIS! THE CAR RANDOMLY AFTER BEING SHUT DOWN WILL NOT RESTART. BEEN STUCK FOR A COUPLE MONTHS NOW IN THE GARAGE.
TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER 56,000 MILES. PRIOR TRANSMISSION RELATED RECALL WAS PERFORMED. THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT SOMETHING BROKE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION RENDERING IT UNABLE TO SHIFT. BASED ON THE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS IN VARIOUS DODGE DART FORUMS, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, NOT UNIQUE TO MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE IN A PLACE WHERE I COULD PULL OVER AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE.
I OWN A 2013 DODGE DART AND HAVE SENT IN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND THERE STILL NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF AND WILL NOT GO INTO PARK WITHOUT HAVING TO MESS WITH IT FOR 10 MIN OR MORE AND SOME DAYS I HAVE TO JUST LEAVE THE KEYS IN IT AND DO WHAT I GOTTA DO BECAUSE THE KEYS WONT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN THIS HAPPENS. SO NOT ONLY AM I TAKING RISK OF GETTING MY CAR STOLEN BUT WHAT IF A KID GOT IN THE CAR JUST PLAYING AND STARTED THE CAR , WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN THEN. I HAVE REPORTED THESE ISSUES SO SO SO MANY TIMES AND EVEN SENT IN MORE INFO WHEN NHTSA CONTACTED ME WANTING TO KNOW MORE INFO ABOUT A COMPLAINT I HAD SUBMITTED BUT STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THESE CARS EXCEPT IN CALIFORNIA AND MICHIGAN I BELIEVE AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IF THERE IS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN THOSE STATES FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS OTHERS FROM DIFFERENT STATES ARE HAVING WHY CAN THEY NOT DO A NATIONWIDE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THESE CARS WERE ALL MANUFACTURED FROM THE SAME PLACE SO IT SHOULD NOT MATTER WHAT STATES ARE STRICTER ABOUT THE LEMON LAWS THEN OTHERS WHEN IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THAT MAKES IT SEEM LIKE CERTAIN STATES LIVES MATTER AND SOME STATES DO NOT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD I HAVE REPEATEDLY SENT IN COMPLAINTS TO SO,SO,SO MANY SAFETY SITES AND ALL VEHICLE CONSUMER PROBLEM SITES AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO MY PART AND LET THEM KNOW HOW UNSAFE THESE CARS ARE AND JUST HOPE THAT SOMETHING IS DONE BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED HAD THEY JUST INVESTIGATED THE ISSUES. THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE VERY SAME ISSUES THAT THEY RECEIVE DAILY IS UNBELIEVABLY INSANE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. *TR
THE WINDOW WIPERS WON'T STOP EVEN WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN IT OFF. IT WON'T TURN OFF. THEN I REPLACED WITH A NEW WIPERS, IT WON'T STOP. THEN RAINING, THE WINDOW IS HARD TO SEE DURING THE RAINY. WHEN I TURN THE LIGHT SIGNAL ON TO TURN RIGHT; THE WIPERS TURNS ON BY ITSELF. IT'S FRUSTRATING AND SAFETY CONCERNS. IT'S GETTING WORSE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED INDICATING THAT THE AUTO STICK FUNCTION WAS UNAVAILABLE, SERVICE REQUIRED.

I THEN WENT TO DOWNSHIFT AND THE WEIRD NOISE WAS THERE CEL CAM ON THEN STARTED BLINKING AD CAR STALLED OUT. HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP SPENT 5+ HRS THERE JUST TO TELL ME MY MOTOR WAS DEAD.

I GOT IN MY PARKED CAR, STARTED IT UP AND TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE BUT THERE WAS NO TENSION WHEN I LIFTED THE LEVER ON THE SHIFTER. THE LEVER MOVED UP AND DOWN AND I COULD SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR EXCEPT REVERSE. LIFTED SHIFTER BOOT AND FOUND THE REVERSE LOCKOUT CABLE WAS SNAPPED. A MONTH OR SO AFTER, I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE AND IT WAS SNOWING. THE ROADS WERE SLICK AND AS I GOT CLOSER TO THE STOP SIGN AT THE END OF MY STREET HERE IN TOWN, MY CAR WAS SLIDING. TRIED TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET SOME TRACTION SO I COULD STOP BUT, JUST LIKE THE REVERSE LOCKOUT CABLE LEVER, AS I LIFTED THE BRAKE THERE WASN'T ANY TENSION AND THE LEVER MOVED UP AND DOWN FREELY. LUCKILY THERE WEREN'T ANY ONCOMING CARS IN THE INTERSECTION AS I SLID THROUGH. IN BOTH CASES THERE WASN'T A REASON FOR THESE PARTS TO SUDDENLY STOP WORKING. NEITHER WERE USED FORCEFULLY, MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND I HAVE 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 100K MILES AND NEITHER WERE USED EXCESSIVELY. BASICALLY, THE REASON BOTH OF THE PARTS JUST STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY IS UNKNOWN. I SEARCHED ONLINE FOR A REPLACEMENT REVERSE LOCKOUT CABLE, I FOUND THAT THE WHOLE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED AS THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN THE LENGTH TO CORRECT A DEFECT WITH THE LOCKOUT CABLE (? YET NO RECALL?) NOW I CAN'T EVEN FIND A REPLACEMENT PART. I CONTACTED MOPAR TO ASK IF ANY OTHER DARTS HAD RECALLS RELATED TO MY ISSUES BUT I WAS TOLD MY PARTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN TESTED AND CLEARED BY THE NHTSA AND THERE WAS NOTHING MORE TO DO. REGARDLESS, I FEEL REVERSE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ARE BOTH CRITICAL AND COULD EASILY POSE SUBSTANTIAL RISK IF DEFECTIVE.

AFTER THAT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. NO MATTER WHAT GEAR YOU PUT IT INTO, IT REGISTERS THAT IT'S IN NEUTRAL ALL THE TIME. THE SHIFTER PHYSICALLY SHIFTS INTO A GEAR, BUT EVEN AFTER TAKING MY FOOT OFF OF THE CLUTCH IN A GEAR IT WON'T STALL OUT, AND WON'T MOVE AT ALL IN ANY GEAR OR REVERSE. IT SMELLED BURNT LIKE THE CLUTCH WAS BURNT OUT OF IT. MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CAR STOPPED REGISTERING GEARS, AND WAS ON A HILL AT THE TIME. LUCKILY SHE HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET UP THE HILL AND PULL OVER BEFORE SHE STARTED COASTING BACK DOWN AND INJURED HER. THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL UNLESS TOWED. THE CAR HAS LOW MILES AND WE'VE ONLY OWNED IT FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. WE READ UP ON WHETHER THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND CALLED A LOCAL SHOP ABOUT RECALLS, TO WHICH THEY SAID THE PREVIOUS OWNERS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE CLUTCH HAD A RECALL THAT HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED BUT WAS EXPIRED.
THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT AFTER THE GASKET WAS REPLACED AT THE DODGE DEALER AS A RECALL. IT WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS AND TRIES TO START OUT IN 4TH GEAR. WHEN YOU DO GET IT TO PULL ITSELF THE RPM'S ARE 3.5. THE DEALER SHIPS SAY'S THAT THEY COULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THE ISSUE BUT IT RAN FINE BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION HAD THE RECALL REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION CABLE. THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ONLY IF YOU SET IT AS SOON S YOU START THE CAR, IF YOU DON'T IT WILL NOT ENGAGE OR COME ON. THERE IS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT COMES ON AND EVEN WHEN IT IS ON THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANY TROUBLE CODES. THIS IS GT AND I LOVE THE CAR BUT IT DOES NOT RUN 80% OF THE TIME.
THE 2013 DODGE DART HAS A RECALL SINCE APRIL 2019. THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING ON THE TRANSMISSION END OF THE SHIFTER CABLE WHICH CAN DETERIORATE AND BECOME DETACHED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN THE INABILITY OF THE DRIVER TO ACTUALLY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION, EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER MAY MOVE THE SHIFTER HANDLE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON EVERY FEW MONTHS. VEHICLE IS TRYING TO GO INTO PARK BUT THE SHIFT GETS STUCK. I HAVE BEEN CALLING THE CHRYSLER DODGE DEALER SINCE APRIL 2019 BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL.
SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM MESSAGE DISPLAYS WHEN YOU START THE CAR AND DRIVE IT IT DOES NOT GO OFF
I CONTINUE TO HAVE A SERVICE AIRBAG ERROR ON MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE REPORTED TO IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO ASSIST UNLESS A FEE FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND A FEE TO FIX THE ISSUE WHEN IT'S CLEARLY A SAFETY MATTER. TODAY I HAD A REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO A RECALL (V34) TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTING OF MY GEARS. I RESEARCHED RECALLS ON 2013 DODGE DARTS AND SAW RECALLS REPORTED REGARDING THE POWERTRAIN AS WELL AS AIRBAGS. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE A RESPONSE ASAP. THANK YOU AND ENJOY YOUR DAY.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2013. FEW MONTHS AFTER, THE FIRST ISSUE APPEARED, IT SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS PUT ME IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS MANY TIMES. I GOT A RECALL, AND FIXED. AFTER A WHILE ANOTHER ISSUE POPPED UP, THE SHIFT LEVER CAN BE MOVED TO D BUT THE TRANSMISSION STAYED IN P. AGAIN MANY TIMES I GOT STUCK IN THE ROAD, IN BAD SITUATION. I HAD TO CHECK WITH A MECHANIC AND SPEND AROUND $500 TO REPLACE THE SHIFT CABLE. THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED FOR FEW WEEKS, AND APPEARED AGAIN. AND THEN THE SECOND RECALL CAME. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER (SAFFORD SPRINGFIELD VA) AND GOT FIXED, BUT FOR 2 DAYS ONLY, AND THE PROBLEM HAS WORSEN. I CALLED THE DEALER TO BRING THE CAR TO BE CHECKED. I WAS TOLD THE SHIFT CABLE IS OK. BUT WHY IT HAS WORSEN AFTER THE SHIFT CABLE WAS "FIXED". AFTER 2 DAYS "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" POPPED UP. I DROVE MY CAR TO THE SAME DEALER AND AFTER ONE HOUR I GOT CALLED TO INFORM ME THAT MY CAR NEEDS TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT FOR $8500. IT IS NIGHTMARE I HAD WITH THIS JUNK. THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY BAD SINCE THE FIRST DAY. I NEED TO AN EXPLANATION AND A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. IF I DON'T HEAR FROM YOU I WILL RISE THIS ISSUE TO THE COURT.

FEELS FUNNY WHEN YOU SHIFT GEARS
ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION TO 'SERVICE AIR BAG' AND MY CAR SHOWS THE PASSENGER SEATBELT ISN'T BUCKLED, EVEN WHEN IT IS. THIS CAUSES MY CAR TO MAKE NOISES AT ME THE WHOLE TIME I'M DRIVING. IT HAS ALSO RAISED CONCERNED OF WHETHER MY AIRBAGS ARE FUNCTIONING, AND IF I AND ANYONE WHO RIDES WITH ME IS SAFE DRIVING/RIDING IN THIS CAR.. I JUST HAD THE BUSHING FOR THE SHIFTER CABLE REPAIRED.. NOW ANOTHER DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH MY DART.
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT WAS RAINING THEN IT STOPPED THEN IT STARTED UP AGAIN AND WENT TO TURN ON MY WIPERS AND THEY WOULDNT TURN ON, SO I CALLED A BUDDY OF MINE THATS A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME ITS PROBLY THE STEERING COLUMN RIBBON BROKE AND SURE ENOUGH I TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THATS WHAT IT WAS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE THIS IS A ALMOST $500.00 PART TO REPLACE IT.
I PURCHASED MY DODGE DART AT 21,000 MILES. 30,000 MILES CAR SHUTS OFF ON HIGHWAY. TOTAL POWER LOSS. DODGE WAS ABLE TO LIMIT THE PROBLEM HOWEVER RAN ROUGH AND AT ABOUT 45000 MILES CAR SHIFTED HARD NOW AT 70000 DODGE TELLS ME IT'S THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. 3,000 DOLLAR REPAIR.

I SEE TONS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES EVEN CASES AGAINST DODGE FOR THIS MODEL. HOWEVER THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP ME OUT WITH ANY ISSUES I BRING TO THEIR ATTENTION. UNFORTUNATE. FOR ME.
MY CLUTCH STARTED TO STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND THEN IT GAVE OUT. IT WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT DECIDED TO GET STUCK TO THE FLOOR WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS.
ON 9/23/19 I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WAS HIT IN THE REAR AND WAS PUSH INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE FORCE OF IMPACT WAS SO EXTREME MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND I HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. NOT EVEN ONE AIR BAG DEPLOYED!!! THEY SAY THIS CAR HAS 10 AIR BAGS AND NOT ONE OF THEM DEPLOYED. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WASN'T. I WANT ANSWERS AS TO WHY NOT EVEN ONE OF MY 10 AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE ENTIRE REAR OF MY CAR WAS PUSHED INTO THE BACK SEAT, THE FRONT OF THE CAR THE HOOD WAS PUSHED TO THE WINDSHIELD, LIKE I SAID THE CAR IS TOTALED. IF YOU COULD SEE MY CAR YOU WOULD BE ASKING, WHY DID NOT ONE AIR BAG DEPLOY, THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT THAT COULD OF COST ME MY LIFE! *DT*JB

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE SHIFTER CABLE REPLACE DUE TO A CURRENT RECALL. MY CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK BECAUSE OF THIS, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS FIXED BUT A DAY LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY HAD IT A DAY AND A HALF, THEY FINALLY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT NOW MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTER SOLENOID WAS BAD AND THAT IT WOULD BE $800 TO FIX. I TOOK THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO ANOTHER MECHANIC BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL AND I DIDN'T WANT TO PAY THAT AMOUNT IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO. THE OTHER MECHANIC TOLD ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER HE LOOKED AT IT BECAUSE MORE THAN LIKELY THEY CAUSED THE DAMAGE WHEN THEY WERE REPLACING THE BUSHING. I CALLED AND SPOKE TO THE MANAGER AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE TECH SAID THEY DIDN'T DAMAGE IT AND THAT THE RECALL WAS ALL THEY WERE TOLD TO FIX AND THAT THEY WEREN'T TOLD TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE CAR NOT COMING OUT OF PARK. I HAVE THE PAPER WORK THAT STATES WHY THE CAR WAS THERE AND IT STATES THAT, THAT WAS THE REASON I BROUGHT IT IN. I'VE NEVER HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH A CAR BEFORE.

CAR NEEDS SHIFTER CABLE BUSHINGS ON THE TRANSMISSION, WITHOUT THE PROPER BUSHINGS, THE TRANSMISSION MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO BE SHIFTED, EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER MAY SHOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SHIFTED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THE NEW PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE NOR DID ANYONE KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING THOUGH I WAS PROMISED AN UPDATE. MEANWHILE I DRIVE THE CAR WITH GREAT FEAR, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT.
ANY PHONE CONNECTED TO U-CONNECT WILL DISCONNECT WHILE TALKING ON THE CAR STEREO. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHEN I HAVE TO LOOK AT MY PHONE WHILE DRIVING TO TALK ON SPEAKER RATHER THAN THE CAR STEREO. I'VE HAD ENOUGH, AND I WANT I WANT THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
AIRBAG ' I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT A FEW DAYS AGO. WHEN I WAS HIT HEAD ON, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO PUT OUT THERE THAT MY CAR WAS ALSO TOTALED AND WHEN I WAS HIT I WAS GOING 45, AND THE OTHER DRIVER WAS GOING 60. WHICH IS QUITE A HEFTY IMPACT FOR A SMALL CAR BEING HIT BY A LIFTED 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA, AND FOR THE AIRBAGS NOT TO DEPLOY. I AM GOING TO BE SUING DODGE.

CAR IS GIVING CODE B0052-13 AND IS TURNING OFF AIR BAG AND SHOWING SRS CODE WITH SEATBELT OFF CODE FOR PASSENGER AIR BAG. SEATBELT IS FAULTY AND NOT COVERED UNDER ANY FACTORY WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS IF MY CAR IS IN AN ACCIDENT MY PASSENGER WILL NOT BE PROTECTED AND COULD CAUSE BODILY INJURIES.
I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A RECALL AND AS OF MAY 13TH I'M STILL WITHOUT MY VEHICLE AND STILL HAVING TO MAKE THE PAYMENT PLUS INSURANCE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN I WILL GET MY CAR BUT IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ENOUGH TIMES I FILED FOR A BREECH OF WARRANTY BUT CHRYSLER ONLY OFFERED ME 4000 TAKE AWAY THE 2000 FOR ATTORNEY FEES SO 2000 IS WHAT I WOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY WITH. I DID NOT ACCEPT THE OFFER AND NOW I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE A REMEDY FOR THE ISSUE BUT IT'S HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE DAY 1 HAD NEW ENGINE NEW TURBO NEW STARTER NEW GASKETS NEW RADIATOR AND MUCH MORE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN BECAUSE OF NEGLECT. I TRULY FEEL I HAVE A LEMON ON MY HANDS AND NEED HELP GETTING INTO A SAFE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT TOLD ME TO GET A LAWYER SO I DID BUT UNLESS WE AGREED ON AN AMOUNT THEY WOULDN'T PROCEED. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I'M TRYING TO GET A LAWYER THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS OR HELP ME GET A SAFER CAR FOR ME AND MY KIDS.*DT CONSUMER STATED PCM/TCM HAS BEEN A RECALL IN THE PAST ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON IS CODE P2096 WHICH CAUSED LEAK IN ONE OF THE HOSES.*JB *JS
I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. MY CLUTCH SEEMED SOFT WHEN I DOWNSHIFTED AS TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING FROM 65 MPH. THE NEXT TIME I SHIFTED THE CLUTCH WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS DISENGAGED. I COULDN'T SHIFT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND WAIT FOR A TOW.
VEHICLE STALLS WHEN DRIVING. RANDOMLY STALLS EVEN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BREAK. CAN INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CAR ACCIDENT OCCURRING. MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO GO FASTER BECAUSE THEN CAR STALLS A LOT AND CAUSES BREAK LIGHT TO FLASH ON AND OFF. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS ON DRIVE ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES THE CAR CAN FEEL JITTERY WHEN BEING ON PARK.
MY CAR RANDOMLY WILL NOT START THINKING THAT IT IS NOT IN PARK. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE DIAGNOSTIC ELECTRONICS TO GO HAYWIRE. I'M TOLD THERE IS A BUSHING THAT WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT DODGE REFUSES TO PROVIDE THIS PART TO MY LOCAL DEALER. THE BUSHING IS DESIGNED TO CAUSE THE CAR TO KNOW IT IS IN PARK SO IT WILL START. I'M ALSO TOLD THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE, BUT I RECEIVED NO RECALL NOTICE FROM DODGE.
WHILE DRIVING AND SHIFTING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. I WAS STUCK IN GEAR. 2 WEEKS PRIOR MY PARKING BREAK WOULD NOT ENGAGE, AS THE BREAK CALIPER WAS STUCK OPEN

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED OFF, BUT THE REVERSE LIGHTS WERE STILL ILLUMINATED, INCLUDING ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION CABLE WAS DISCONNECTED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR.

THE HYDRAULIC SHIFT ACTUATOR WILL FAIL - OFTENTIMES/SEEMINGLY IN THE HEAT & SUN AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO A. IF IT IS NOT DRIVING, YOU WILL GET THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION ERROR" AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN ON; B. IF YOU ARE DRIVING, SHIFTING BECOMES DANGEROUS AND ERRATIC. NOTE: THIS ISN'T COVERED UNDER YOUR WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAS LIKELY EXPIRED. IF YOU HAVE A THIRD PARTY WARRANTY, YOU WILL NEED TO "PROVE THE FAILURE". WITH THAT BEING SAID, THIS APPEARS TO HAPPEN TOWARDS THE AFTERNOON/EVENING IN MY CASE (WHEN IT'S THE HOTTEST AND HAS SAT IN THE SUN ALL DAY). IT HAS SHIFTED ERRATICALLY ON ME MULTIPLE OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS - I AM HIGHLY SUSPECT THAT THIS PART MAY BECOME A FUTURE RECALL PART. MY VEHICLE IS UNDER 47,000 MILES, SO THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. CONSIDERING OTHER TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, I WOULD BE AWARE. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS FOR ME (I HAVE A CLEAN MVR). THE ERRATIC SHIFTING WILL HAPPEN AT ALL SPEEDS.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER STALK MALFUNCTIONS, CAUSING THE WIPERS TO STAY IN THE ON POSITION EVEN WHEN THE SWITCH ON THE STALK SAYS OFF. THROUGH NORMAL DRIVER USE, THE SPRING/RIBBON BEHIND THE STALK BREAKS OR SEVERS AND USE OF WIPERS AND MIST IS COMPROMISED. WITH WIPERS ONLY WORKING AT ONE SPEED, IN A HEAVY RAIN OR NO RAIN AT ALL, THE DRIVERS VISION IS AFFECTED WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. RESEARCHING ONLINE IN DART FORUMS AND OTHER POSTS, THIS ISSUE IS PREVALENT AMONG THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE. THE FAULTY WIPER STALK COULD ALSO BE AN INDICATOR OF A FAILING BCM. IN MY SPECIFIC INSTANCE, THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND AFTER ATTEMPTING TO MIST MY WINDSHIELD AND CLEAR IT OF DEBRIS, NO MIST WAS DISPENSED AND THE WIPERS STAYED ON PERMANENTLY
WHEN APPLYING BRAKES DOWN HILL, RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SHAKES. ALSO CAN HEAR A RATTLE IN RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WHILE DRIVING ON ROUGH AREAS.

WHILE DRIVING THE SCREEN WILL RANDOMLY GO COMPLETELY BLACK AND THEN START FLICKERING WHITE - MY DASH IS NOW DOING THE SAME, SIMULTANEOUSLY. HOWEVER, THE SCREEN LIGHTS (SPEED, MILES, MPG, ETC) STAY DIM TO WHERE I CAN'T EVEN READ WHAT IS SAYS. MY SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGES WILL GIVE OUT AND THEN PROCEED TO QUICKLY FLICKER UP AND DOWN.

BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY - TRAFFIC STARTS TO SLOW DOWN, I GO TO SHIFT DOWN AND CLUTCH GOES OUT AND DOESN'T COME BACK UP.

THERE'S AN ACTIVE RECALL ON MY 2013 DODGE DART AERO FOR THE SHIFTING CABLE BUSHING.

I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP ON MAIN STREET IN NORRISTOWN, PA. MOPAR SAID THE PART WON'T BE SHIPPED TO DEALERS FOR THE RECALL UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST SO THEY WANT TO PUT ANOTHER FAULTY PART IN. THEY ARE TELLING ME I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AND MOPAR SAYS THEY ARE NOT DOING AT REPAYMENTS. THEY HAVE ALSO REFUSED TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR IN THE MEAN TIME. I DON'T FEEL AS A CONSUMER THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OR A RENTAL BECAUSE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I WAS VERY LUCKY NO ONE ELSE WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN MINE FAILED, AND THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY WITHOUT HARMING MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE.

I BOUGHT A DODGE DART 2013 LIMITED EDITION (OR WAS TALKED INTO IT BY YOUR SALESPEOPLE) I WANTED THIS TO BE MY LAST CAR AND I ACTUALLY REALLY LIKED IT. THEN I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL RANDOMLY. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD. A LEMON LAW FIRM CONTACTED ME AND SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE CAR IF I HAD 3 OCCURRENCES WITH RECEIPTS WHICH I SUBMITTED TO THEM. THEY SAID CHRYSLER WAS GIVING ME $3900. I WAS CONFUSED BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE GIVING ME ENOUGH TO REPLACE THE CAR. THEY EXPLAINED CHRYSLER DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT. I ACTUALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT (THAT WAS 2016) AND THOUGHT THE ISSUE HAD BEEN FIXED SO I WAS HAPPY. NOW THIS PAST JULY 4TH 2019 MY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAVE RETURNED. MY CAR HAS 48,000 ONLY AND NOT EVEN THE DODGE EXTENDED WARRANTY (WHICH I WANTED TO NOW PURCHASE) DO NOT COVER 2013 MODELS. THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES TO ME. THEY KNOW THEY SOLD ME A LEMON AND ONE THAT IS NOT SAFE. I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR AND HAVE NOW LEARNED THAT LEMONS ARE BOUGHT AND SOLD BACK TO THE PUBLIC. I WILL NEVER BUY OR SPEAK WELL ABOUT CHRYSLER AGAIN. YOU ARE A FRAUDULENT COMPANY. I WANTED A HONDA ORIGINALLY BUT WAS TALKED OUT OF IT BY NEIGHBORS WHO WORK FOR CHRYSLER. I WILL BE CALLING DEENA CENTOFANTI FROM CHANNEL 2 FOX TO TELL HER I WAS SOLD AN UNSAFE CAR AND I AM STUCK WITH IT. THEY ALREADY KNOW THAT CHRYSLER KNEW THE SYSTEM DESIGN WAS FAULTY IN 2012 BUT RELEASED THE 2013 ANYWAY. SHAMEFUL.

THE DODGE DART IS AT THE DODGE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE SHIFTING CABLE BECAUSE THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX YET.

IN THE MORNINGS WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR MY CLUTCH PEDAL STICKS DOWN AND I HQVE TO PULL IT UP USING MY FOOT/HAND. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION DARTS. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER ABIUT THE ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET SAY THAT IT IS A SLAVE/ MASTER CYLINDER ISSUE AND IF NOTHING IS DONE DURING EARLY STAGES LIKE STARTING YOUR CAR IN THE MORNING. IT DOES START TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND DOES CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A HUGE SAFTEY CONCERN THAT THEY SHOULD FIX.
WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE DART, WHEN I WENT TO PARK THE SHIFTER WOULD MOVE BUT IT WAS NOT ACTUALLY CHANGING GEARS. I HAD TO TURN ON EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TURN ENGINE OFF I AM NOW UNABLE TO TAKE KEY OUT AND I HAD TO LET THE BATTERY DIE, THE VEHICLE IS NOW DISABLED IN FRONT OF A FRIENDS HOUSE AND I AM UNABLE TO MOVE IT.

I HAVE BEEN FINANCING THIS CAR SINCE 2013,AND SO FAR IT'S BEEN ON THE RECALL LIST TWICE, HOWEVER THIS TIME IT'S BEEN LABELED DAMAGED GOODS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANIES AND GEICO RECENTLY TERMINATED MY POLICY AS A RESULT OF THIS, AND NO OTHER INSURANCE COMPANY IS WILLING TO TAKE A RISK AND INSURE THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, SO I'M STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE,THE FCA SENT ME ANOTHER LETTER TELLING ME THAT THERE'S ANOTHER DEFECTIVE ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND AS SOON AS THE PART COMES INTO STOCK THEY'LL LET ME KNOW SO I CAN TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THE ISSUE ADDRESSED,BUT BECAUSE MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS TERMINATED MY POLICY I CAN'T EVEN DRIVER THE CAR THERE,AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE ANYMORE BECAUSE IT HAS TOO MANY DEFECTS AND KEEP WINDING UP ON THE RECALL LIST, IT POSSIBLY FALLS UNDER THE LEMON LAWS AND I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO HAVE TO CONTINUE MAKING PAYMENTS ON A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE,SO I'M LOOKING FOR A LOGICAL RESOLUTION OUT OF CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY SAFETY,LIKE BEING ABLE TO TRADE IT IN FOR A SAFER CAR
AIR BAG LIGHTS IS ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAR RUNNING HOT FAM TURNING IN WRONG DIRECTIONS I KEEP PUTTING BRAKE FLUID IN ONCE A WEEK HEAT COME ON M OFF WHEN IT FEEL LIKE IT TIRE LITE I KEEP SPENDING MONEY FOR TIRES HEAD REST IS NOT NORMAL IT PUSHES MY NECK OUT WHEN I'M DRIVING NOW MY NECK N BACK HURTS
THE SHIFTER CABLE KEEPS COMING OFF AND NO ONE CAN FIX IT YET. IT IS A SAFETY DEAL FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THERE IS A RECALL ON IT BUT WHEN I CALL DODGE CAR LOTS THEY SAY IT CAN'T BE FIXED CAUSE THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR IT. I HAVE ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE IT HAS CAME OFF NOT ONCE BUT SEVERAL TIMES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A SOLUTION FOR THIS CAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE
"TAKATA RECALL" ABOUT TWO YRS AGO MY LOST CONTROL AS I TRIED TO PUT IT IN REVERSE, IT APPEARED THAT THE SHIFTING CABLE CAME APART IN THE PARKING LOT OF A FAMILY DOLLAR IN MY HOME TOWN. AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS IN REVERSE , I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO STOP IT. HAD IT REPLACE BY A PERSONAL MECHANIC. WAS OUT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, BECAUSE HAS TO ORDER THE PART FROM THE DEALERSHIP.
CAR WILL NOT START. IT WILL TURN ON BUT NOT START THE CAR. BATTERY AND STARTER WERE REPLACED. MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE FUSE BOX WAS HOT, EVEN THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS COOL. HE FEELS THAT IT COULD BE THE COMPUTER OR FUSE BOX. THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES START. BUT, I HAVE BEEN STRANDED AND CANNOT RELY ON IT TO START. COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS DOES NOT COME UP WITH ANYTHING. REACHING OUT TO THE DODGE DART OWNERS COMMUNITY, THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM. SO FAR, NO ONE KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY ON COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS WHEN IT WON'T HELP.
MY SHIFT GEAR IS NOT MOVING AT ALL AND IT CAUSES ME NOT TO TURN MY CAR OFF OR ON. MY KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION ALSO.

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN PARK, THE DASH SAYS IT'S NOT AND WON'T TURN OFF
DODGE DART 2013 -APRIL 2019 RECALL DODGE DART WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK AND PAST NEUTRAL, AND THEN IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL AND KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK AT A BUSINESS ON 06/30/2019 CAR WAS TOWED AND LEFT AT A FIRESTONE FOR REPAIRS WITH KEY STILL IN IGNITION AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS REMAINING ON IN THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT DUE TO THE NEUTRAL GEAR.
DODGE DARTS OF THIS MODEL YEAR INCLUDING MINE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TURBOCHARGER. PROBLEMS WITHIN THE SETUP CREATE A "TURBO UNDERBOOST" CONDITION, WHICH PROMPTS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND THROWS THE CAR INTO LIMP MODE. THIS IS OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY A LACK OF POWER FROM THE ENGINE AND A ROUGH IDLE, OR STALLING AT IDLE. IN MY CASE IT HAPPENED WHILE I LEAVING A CITY, AND I DID NOT HAVE THE POWER TO ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER PULLING OVER AND RE-STARTING THE CAR, THIS ISSUE IS TEMPORARILY RESOLVED. THIS IS SUCH AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR THAT THERE IS A NORTH AMERICA WIDE BACK-ORDER ON THE NEW-TURBO WITH THIS ISSUE CORRECTED. FOR MANY LIKE ME, THIS EXPENSE IS OUT-POCKET OR FOR A LUCKY FEW, STILL COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE WARRANTS A RECALL AND PROPER FIX IF THE TURBOCHARGER SETUP. THE ISSUE IS CORRECTED ON 2014+ MODEL YEARS, WHICH IS AN INDICATION THAT FCA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE.
WIPERS HAVE TURNED AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND AM UNABLE TO CHANGE THE SPEED OF THE WIPERS. IT STARTED WITH THEM TURNING ON WHEN THE LEFT BLINKER WAS ACTIVATED, BUT THEY WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN THE BLINKER DID. THEY ARE NOW TURNING ON EVERY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THEY WASHER SPRAYER DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE EITHER. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS BECAUSE THE WIPERS KEEP MOVING IN FRONT OF YOU AND THEY SCREECH HORRIBLY SINCE THE WINDSHIELD IS DRY AND THE WASHER FLUID NO LONGER WORKS. THIS IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE SPEED OF THE WIPERS TO KEEP UP WITH THE HEAVINESS OF THE RAIN. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH MANY FORUMS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL.

VEHICLE RAN FOR 400 MILES DROVE PERFECTLY FINE WE STOPPED FOR A BITE TO EAT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN.
AGAIN HERE I AM WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND MY CAR IS BUCKING AND UNSAFE!!! I WILL BRING IT IN TOMORROW BUT I BOUGHT A TOOL THAT READS CODES HERE ARE THE CODES P0352 ERROR IGNITION COIL B PRIMARY/ SECONDARY CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. AND CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. YOU JUST PICKED UP THE CAR FOR SAME THING ON JUNE 10!!!!! LESS THAN 10 DAYS AND IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN. DO YOU WANT ME TO GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT. BECAUSE I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE MY CAR. THIS IS ABOUT 6TH TIME IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS FOR SAME ISSUES.
THIS CAR SHOULD BE A TOTAL RECALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRANSMISSION HAS STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY, TOOK IT TO BE LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE TRANSMISSION DESPITE NEVER HAVING BEEN DAMAGED OR HITTING ANYTHING WITH THE CAT. ALSO TOLD TRANSMISSION MOUNT NEEDED REPLACING. CAR MAKES AWFUL NOISE WHEN DRIVING IN LOW GEARS ABS HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING, WHEN IN TRAFFIC SMS HAVING TOP GO DOWN SPEED AND THEN UP SPEED TEE CAR STUTTERS AND CLUNKS.
CAR WILL SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN TURN ITSELF OFF WHEN COASTING OR SWITCHING GEARS WITH MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLE.
MY CAR WILL HESITATE TO SPEED UP, AND FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. LAST YEAR, IT GOT STUCK IN NEUTRAL WHEN I PARKED - WOULDN'T GO INTO DRIVE ALTHOUGH I COULD MOVE THE GEAR SHIFTER. ONGOING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH BACKUP CAMERA AND UCONNECT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WOULD SOMETIMES DECELERATE. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER A WHILE AND "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT CALLED MARINO PARK DODGE CHRYSLER (5133 W IRVING PARK RD, CHICAGO, IL 60641, (773) 777-2000) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT NEW SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A REMEDY. THE CONTACT WAS PLACED ON AN EMAIL LIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.
THE BATTERY LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLICKERING ON AND OFF, AND THE VEHICLE STARTED IDLING AND DECREASING IN SPEED FOR NO REASON. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT DID NOT WANT TO DO SO, AND AGAIN THE LIGHTS AND POWER STARTED FLICKERING TURNING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. UPON PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, AT WHICH TRYING TO RESTART, THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OVER ONLY CLICKING NOISES. INSTEAD STILL WHAT SEEMED LIKE A SURGING OF POWER WITH ALL RANDOM LIGHTS FLICKERING AND STEREO TURNING ON AND OFF. THIS ISSUE HAD NOT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE BUT NOW TWICE, AND I AM CURRENTLY LEFT CAR LESS AS THE ISSUE CANNOT BE FIXED OR FOUND. A TUNE UP WAS DONE ON MY CAR, WIRES REPLACED, THE BATTERY REPLACED TWICE, AND A MODULE REPLACED DUE TO THE FAN FOR AIR CONDITIONING INTERMITTENTLY TURNING OFF AND ON ON IT'S OWN FOR NO RHYME OR REASON. I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR ALL STATED ABOVE REPLACEMENTS. HOWEVER, I HAVE KEPT THEM IN MY CAR RECENTLY DUE TO HAVE TO REPLACE MULTIPLE PARTS WITHIN ONLY A COUPLE MONTHS OF THE PART BEING REPLACED. NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS TAKING PLACE, AND I AM CERTAINLY TIRED OF PAYING FOR PARTS TO REPLACE THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY HAVE NOT HELPED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. IT SEEMS TO ME IT IS MORE OF A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAN A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. MORE OVER THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE OCCURRED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND COULD'VE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED DUE TO CARS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND NOT PAYING ATTENTION. THIS ISSUE IS REALLY DANGEROUS AND COULD BE LIFE THREATENING IF NOT HANDLED APPROPRIATELY. I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THESE FAULTS BEFORE IT COSTS A LIFE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECENTLY ATTEMPTED TO FILL UP THE TANK AND THE TANK STOPPED ALLOWING FUEL TO ENTER, WHICH CAUSED A LONG DELAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM COGDILL DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (8544 KINGSTON PIKE, KNOXVILLE, TN 37919, (865) 690-1611) WHERE THEY ATTEMPTED TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE.

V34/NHTSA 19V-293 TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BUSHING RECALL
WE WERE OUT SHOPPING FOR MY SON A CAR AND HAD STOPPED AT A DEALERSHIP LEFT THE CAR RUNNING OUT IT IN PARK ONCE WE TRIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR ON MAY 25TH. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WE PURCHASED IT FROM ( A CHEVY DEALER) BECAUSE WE HAVE A LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE FOLLOWING DAY WE CHECKED OUR MAIL AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION CABLE V34. THE CHEVY DEALER WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM CAUSE THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE SO WE HAD TO PAY AGAIN FOR A TOW TO A DODGE DEALER FOR A TEMPORARY FIX!!! WE LIVE IN A RURAL AREA MY DAUGHTER NEEDS TRANSPORTATION TO COLLEGE BUT YET THE DODGE MANUFACTURER WILL PROVIDE US WITH A RENTAL UNTIL OUR CAR IS FIXED! THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE THE DEALER WILL KIT HAVE THE TEMPORARY PART FOR 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS!!! I HAVE REACHED OUT TO OTHER NON DODGE DEALERS AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT IF IT WERE THEIR VEHICLE THEY WOULD PROVIDE THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH A RENTAL UNTIL THE CAR WAS REPAIRED THE GM DEALER STATED THAT. I'M ASSUMING THEY APPRECIATE THEIR CUSTOMERS THEREFORE I OR ANY FAMILY MEMBERS WILL BE BUYING A JEEP DODGE ETC PRODUCT AGAIN!! AND I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO LET OTHERS KNOW OF THE POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE PROVIDED!! WE ARE LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK LIKE MOST AMERICANS AND CAN'T AFFORD A HARD SHIP LIKE THIS , WE ALSO HAVE TO PAY FOR BOTH TOW BILLS AND THE TEMPORARY FIX UNTIL YOUR COMPANY RELEASES A RELIABLE PART WHICH STATES COULD BE THE END OF AUGUST AND THAT'S WHEN I'LL BE REIMBURSED!!! I KNOW THOSE OF YOU MAKING THE DECISIONS WILL LAUGH AT A PERSON LIKE ME AND MY FAMILY THINKING THIS IS SILLY BUT THIS IS TRULY A HARDSHIP ON US AND YOU COULDN'T POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND THE STRESS AND FINANCIAL STRAIN IT HAS CAUSED!!!
CAR WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 15 MILES FOR AN OUTING AND ONCE WE ARRIVED, CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO OR OUT OF PARK. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES ATTEMPTING TO SECURE VEHICLE, ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED AND CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE SHIFT CABLE HAD AN ISSUE AND A REPLACEMENT WOULD BE ORDERED UNDER OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CAR WAS UNDER RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE (V34) AND WHEN WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE RECALL, THEY STILL INSISTED THAT WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR UNDER OUR WARRANTY AND THEN FILE A CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT. WE WERE TOLD THE PART BEING USED FOR REPAIR WAS NOT AN UPGRADE IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL, BUT JUST A STANDARD CABLE REPLACEMENT. WE WERE INFORMED THAT WE EITHER PAY FOR THE PART OR PARK THE CAR UNTIL THE RECALL WAS RESOLVED. WHEN ASKED ABOUT A LOANER OR RENTAL, THE RESPONSE WAS NO LOANER WOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE AND A RENTAL WAS ALLOWED FOR A PERIOD OF 5 DAYS ONLY WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE WERE ALSO INFORMED THAT THE RECALL COULD TAKE WEEKS OR MONTHS TO RESOLVE. SO OUR CHOICE IS TO EITHER PAY TO HAVE A KNOWN BAD PART INSTALLED OR PARK THE CAR FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD. WE THEN CONTACTED FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE AND MET THE SAME RESULT. PAY FOR THE PART AND THEN RETURN THE CAR ONCE AGAIN AFTER THE RECALL WAS RESOLVED, OR PARK THE CAR. THERE WOULD BE NO LOANER OR RENTAL REIMBURSEMENT CONSIDERED. SO, WE ARE FORCED TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND SEND MY WIFE BACK OUT ONTO THE STREETS WITH A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE THAT MAY RESULT IN HARM OR WORSE. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS NOT HIS RESPONSIBILITY AND SINCE HE IS AN INDEPENDENT, WE "TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT". FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE WAS ALMOST USELESS AND A WASTE OF TIME.
I REVERSED VEHICLE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY INTO THE STREET AND AS I WAS SHIFTING INTO 'DRIVE' THE VEHICLE WENT INTO NEUTRAL. SHIFTER MOVES AS NORMAL, VEHICLE REMAINS IN NEUTRAL. WITH THIS I AM UNABLE TO TURN VEHICLE OFF SINCE IT WILL NOT GO INTO 'PARK.' DEALERSHIPS VERY UNHELPFUL SAYING THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND THERE WILL BE A CHARGE FOR THEM TO EVEN LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. NEVER DOING BUSINESS WITH CHRYSLER EVER AGAIN. MY 2 YEAR OLD WAS ALSO IN THE VEHICLE, HAD TO PUT THE HAND BRAKES UP TO STOP CAR FROM MOVING.
SINCE MARCH 2019 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ONE 3 TIMES. MY CAR HAS EITHER STALLED IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION AND/OR HAS A BUCKING SENSATION AND THEN CHECK ENGINE TURNS ON. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT IT KEEPS OCCURRING. ONE TIME THEY REPLACED BATTERY, NEXT TIME RECALL V34 AND AGAIN TODAY. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THIS MODEL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE.THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING.

THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING ON THE TRANSMISSION END OF THE SHIFTER CABLE WHICH CAN DETERIORATE AND BECOME DETACHED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN THE INABILITY OF THE DRIVER TO ACTUALLY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION, EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER MAY MOVE THE SHIFTER HANDLE.
THERE IS HEAT THAT CONSISTENTLY EMANATES INTO THE CAR FROM THE AREA WHERE THE WIRING HARNESS OR FUSE BOX WOULD BE. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND MECHANICS CONTINUE TO SAY THAT THE FUSE BOX IS FINE BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE HARNESS. THE PROBLEMS IS SO BAD THAT THE HEAT OVER TIME HAS LED TO BAD PAINT DAMAGE TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE PAINT IS COMPLETELY DULL. THE DISCOLORATION IS BEYOND OBVIOUS AND NOTICEABLE. THE HEAT BEGINS TO BE A PROBLEM ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING IT ON.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
THE 2013 DODGE DART HAS ISSUES WITH THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS. WHEN I DISENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE THE REAR CALIPERS DO NOT RELEASE PRESSURE CAUSING THE REAR BRAKES TO DRAG. THIS IS NOT ONLY MY VEHICLE, I HAVE READ ONLINE PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. FOR ME TO FIX THIS PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO GET NEW REAR CALIPERS. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE CALIPER IS A SPRING WHICH THE PARKING BRAKE CONNECTS TO I HAD TO DISENGAGE THIS MYSELF. CAUSING ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO USE MY PARKING BRAKE.
VEHICLE WILL HESITATE THEN PROCEED AS NORMAL. HESITATION MAY OCCUR AS MANY AS 5 TIMES BEFORE CAR RUNS NORMALLY.

MY 2013 DART HAS STARTED HAVING BREAKING ISSUES RECENTLY, YEAR 2013-2016 DARTS HAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE ASSIST IN THE PAST, AND MY ISSUES ARE VERY SIMILAR. WHEN STOPED AT A REDLIGHT, MY CAR CONTINUES TO ROLL FORWARD SLOWLY, ENOUGH THAT I HAVE TO PUSH BRAKE PEDAL COMPLETELY DOWN. AND IT TAKES A LOT LONGER AND MORE DISTANCE TO SLOW DOWN FAST AND SAFELY, IT'S ALMOST CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS , AND HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN A FEW RED LIGHTS TO AVOID STOPPING LATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, WHICH I FEEL IS UNSAFE , ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE MY 3 KIDS WITH ME.
THE SHIFT CABLE HAS BEEN COMING OUT. IT WILL JUMP OFF WHILE DRIVING.
THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED UNDER WARRANTY ON AUGUST 29, 2013. MARCH 13, 2015 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD NOTED THAT SEVERAL MODULES HAVE STORED CODE FOR LOST COMMUNICATIONS WITH TCM MODULE U0101-00. PCM NEEDED FLASH UPDATE WHICH WAS DONE. TCM WAS REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 2018. WE THEN HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHIFTING INTO GEAR WHEN LEAVING PARKED POSITION. COULD NOT REVERSE OR GO FORWARD. WE COULD PHYSICALLY PUT IT INTO GEAR BUT THE CAR ITSELF WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. IT THEN WENT INTO LIMP MODE. ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 26 IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE PARKED. WE DROVE IT TO CROWFOOT DODGE ON MONDAY, AUGUST 27. AS WE WERE BRINGING IT IN THE CAR WENT TO LIMP MODE AS DRIVING. SO WE LEFT IT WHERE IT STOPPED. WE CALLED THE DODGE MECHANIC AND HE TOLD US THAT HE THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PART BUT IT SHOULD BE FIXED ON WEDNESDAY. THE PART WAS NOT THERE ON WEDNESDAY NOR THURSDAY. WE THEN CALLED ON FRIDAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND THE CAR STILL HAD SOME INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ON THE STATEMENT THEY WROTE THAT THE ACTUATOR FOR 1 CLUTCH AND 3 WAS FAULTY AND BECAUSE IT WAS INTEGRATED INTO THE TRANSMISSION THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO REPLACED FOR $11,000. THIS CAR'S WARRANTY EXPIRED ON JUNE 29, 2018 AND 140,000 KM'S CURRENT READ. AS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY WHILE WE WERE STILL IN WARRANTY.
THE RIBBON CABLE THAT CONTROLS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAS BEEN SEVERED, DUE TO REPEATED USE OF THE BLINKERS ON THE SAME CONTROL. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ALWAYS RUN NOW, AT A LOW SPEED. THEY CAN NOT BE STOPPED, SPED UP, AND CAN NO LONGER USE THE WIPER FLUID DISPENSER.

CAR WILL IDLE ROUGHLY WHILE IN DRIVE AND BREAK IS APPLIE, IF IN NEUTRAL IDLE ISN'T ROUGH. J HAVE CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS, GOTTEN A TUNE UP, CHANGED THE AIR FILTER AND NOTHING HAS HELPED. OCCASIONALLY BACK PASSENGER WONT GO UP,RADIO SCREEN WILL OCCASIONALLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING AND RADIO OFTEN FILLED WITH STATIC.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ROUGHLY AND SPUTTERED WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TWICE TO PARKWAY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (21560 HALL RD, CLINTON TWP, MI 48038, (586) 203-2965. THE FIRST VISIT RESULTED IN THE OUTER SENSORS OF THE TRANSMISSION BEING REPLACED. THE SECOND VISIT RESULTED IN THE INNER SENSORS BEING REPLACED. BOTH REPAIRS WERE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.
THE PARKING BRAKE HAS FAILED ON TWO OCCASIONS, ONCE WHILE STATIONARY WHEN IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT CRASHED INTO A CAR IN THEIR PARKING LOT IN 2016. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP IN 2015-2016 THIRTEEN TIMES FOR OIL LEAKS AND THE ENGINE EITHER DYING OR ALMOST SEIZING WHILE IN MOTION. THIS RESULTED IN MY VEHICLE STARTING ON FIRE IN LATE 2016 EARLY 2017. THE REPAIR FOR THE FIRE DAMAGE WAS COVERED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY FIXED BY A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AFTER THAT. MORE RECENTLY, IT WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ROLLED INTO MY TRUCK AND DAMAGED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE'S BUMPER WHILE STATIONARY WITH THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. THE SYMPTOMS WITH THE ENGINE HAVE ALSO STARTED TO REAPPEAR WHILE IN MOTION IN 3RD OR 4TH GEAR... IT STARTS TO ACT LIKE IT'S GOING TO COMPLETELY DIE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAVE IT BACK IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS. SOME OF THE RECALLS LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE SOUND LIKE THINGS I HAVE EXPERIENCED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO. MY TIME IS THE MAIN THING I CARE ABOUT AT THIS POINT AND DON'T WANT TO SPEND ANOTHER 2 YEARS ENDLESSLY IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP. I JUST WANT A CAR THAT OPERATES NORMALLY.
I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART AERO 6 SPEED MANUAL, DUAL DRY CLUTCH, MULTI AIR TURBO. I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2017. 4 MONTHS LATER I HAD BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO CARSENSE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. MEANWHILE I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES ALSO DUE TO BRAKING ISSUES AND MY EBRAKE WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN. IT WORKED WHEN IT WANTED TO, BUT YET EVERYTHING IS IN "GREAT CONDITION" SAYS CARSENCE.MIND YOU THAT I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY AND IT WAS RECENTLY INSPECTED IN JANUARY 2017. SERVICE DEPT. INSPECTED MY BRAKES AND GAVE ME THE CURRENT MEASUREMENTS OF EXISTING BRAKE PADS LEFT. ABOUT JUNE 2018 I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN IN A 25 MPH SIDE STREET WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC. I HAD TROUBLE SLOWING DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN I MANAGED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP I HEARD A LOUD BANG. HERE MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR ROTOR WAS SEVERELY SMOKING AND I NOTICED MY ROTOR WAS REDHOT. MY ROTOR SNAPPED COMPLETELY IN HALF. MY SHIFTER WOULD RANDOMLY POP OUT OF GEAR OR THE CLUTCH WOULD LIGHTLY STICK, SMELLING EXHAUST ODOR I'M NOW PUSHING 62, 000 MILES AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW. I AM COMING HOME INTO MY DEVELOPMENT. I'M IN SECOND GEAR TURNING ONTO MY LANE AND DOING MAYBE 10 MPH WELL IT DECIDES TO POP OUT OF GEAR AND ACCELERATES, REDLINING SECOND GEAR(I'M ASSUMING IT THINKS IT'S IN SECOND) AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE FLASHING STEERING WHEEL IT LOCKED. CAR IS NOW DOING 80 MPH IN A 15 MPH ZONE. MY BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL BRAKE PEDAL IS HARDER THAN HARD. I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE!! ENGINE FINALLY CUTS OUT AFTER I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. COMES TO A SCREECHING HALT. THANK GOD. IT WONT START STILL TO THIS DAY..OIL IN TURBO AND UP THE HOSE. BATTERY PLAYS DEAD ALONG WITH MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AND MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS A COMPUTER UPGRADE THAT'S NOT EVEN AVAILABLE FOR THE 1.4L TURBO ENGINE...IT NEEDS A TCM, NEW MASTER CYLINDER.
I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE AND IT SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL AND IS NOW STUCK THERE. MY KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION DUE TO IT BEING STUCK IN NEUTRAL.
OUR VEHICLE KEEPS SHUTTING OFF ON HIGHWAYS, ROADS, ETC. WE ALWAYS HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WHEN WE CAN FINALLY START IT AGAIN THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THEN WANTS TO SHUT DOWN AND THE SCREEN STAYS BLACK FOR A LONG TIME.
THE CLUTCH GETS STUCK ON THE FLOOR AND I'M UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I'VE BEEN STUCK IN MY DRIVE WAY BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THE GEAR INTO THE REVERSE POSITION. SAME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC WHERE I'M STUCK BECAUSE I CAN GET THE GEAR INTO FIRST TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD. ONCE I DO GET THE GEAR TO GO THE CAR SHOOTS FORWARD DANGEROUSLY. THERE IS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE UP A HILL THE CAR CAN BARELY MOVE AND THE RPMS GO HIGHER YET THERE'S NO POWER.
MY CLUTCH HAS FALLEN TO THE FLOOR. CANNOT SHIFT. CANNOT CHECK FLUID LEVELS BECAUSE THERE IS NO ACCESS. APPARENTLY THERE IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THIS ISSUE BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED, THEREFORE I AM UNABLE TO GET ANY HELP FIXING THIS. FIRST START UP IN THE MORNING. CLUTCH WAS FINE THE NIGHT BEFORE. CLUTCH IS LAYING AGAINST THE FLOOR, BASICALLY USELESS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,898.
THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR HOURS, WHICH HAS AN INCLINE, WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED, WHEN IT SUDDENLY ROLLED DOWNED THE DRIVEWAY ACROSS THE STREET INTO A DITCH, THE EMERGENCY LEVER STILL UP, AS IF IT WERE ENGAGED, HAD TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK PULL IT OUT. A YEAR LATER THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD RANDOMLY NOT WORK AND NOW DOES NOT WORK AT ALL
DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH WHEN THE WIPERS TURNED ON WITHOUT ME TURNING THEM ON, FULL SPEED, AND REFUSED TO TURN OFF. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE CONTROL SWITCH WHICH CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED AT A DEALER, VERY EXPENSIVE PART.
I HAD TOOK MY CAR TO CHRYSLER IN BIDDEFORD IN MAY 2017 C/O THAT MY E-BRAKE WAS NOT HOLDING MY CAR. ONCE I GOT THE CAR BACK I COULD HARDLY LIFT THE BRAKE. I WENT BACK IN AND ASKED WHY IT WAS THAT WAY, THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD LOOSEN UP AS I USE IT. I USED THE BRAKE A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER AND IT WENT UP ABOUT AN INCH. THE NEXT TIME I USED IT WAS IN FEBRUARY AND WHEN I PULLED UP ON THE BRAKE LEVEL IT WENT STRAIGHT UP. I CALLED AND LEFT NUMEROUS VM. NO ONE CALLED ME BACK. I WENT BACK IN ON A SATURDAY FOR MY OIL CHANGE. I TALKED TO A REP THERE AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD LEAVE A NOTE FOR SOMEONE TO CALL ME BACK ON MONDAY. I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK. I FINALLY GOT SOMEONE TO MAKE AN APPT FOR ME TO BRING MY CAR IN. ONCE THEY FOUND OUT I NO LONGER HAD THE B TO B WARRANTY THEY STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $500. I CALLED AND LEFT A MSG FOR THE GM AND I GOT A CALL BACK FROM THE SALES MANAGER WANTING ME TO TRADED MY CAR IN. I STATED TO HIM I THOUGHT HE WAS CALLING ABOUT THE BRAKE. HE STATED TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WILL PUT IT ON THE LIFT WHILE I TALK TO SALES. THE REP CAME BACK AND STATED DO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BRAKE DOES NOT WORK. MADE AN APPT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR AND THEY ORDERED A PART FOR MY CAR. I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR BACK TO BE LOOKED AT BILL DODGE AND THEY STATED THAT MY BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING AND THAT MY CALIPERS WHERE STICKING. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN AND THEY STATED I NEEDED ONE OF MY CALIPERS CHANGED. I STATED I JUST CHANGED ONE THIS SUMMER MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT ONE. I PICKED UP MY CAR AND TOOK MY CAR TO MY FRIEND IN NH. HIS MECHANIC AGAIN STATED THAT MY BRAKE WAS NOT FIXED AND THAT THE E-BRAKE IS CAUSING THE CALIPERS TO STICK. I GOT MY CAR BACK AND A WEEK LATER (03/01/2019) I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE A CAR HIT MY DRIVER'S DOOR DOING ABOUT 35+. MY AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF. I HAVE 4 AIRBAGS AND NOT ONE WENT OFF. OTHER CARS DID.

I HAVE FELT SLIPS IN THE TRANSMISSION LATELY BUT YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND IT JUST WENT TO NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT GO IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE DASH DISPLAYED WORDS SAYING SERVICE NEEDED ON TRANSMISSION. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND WITED A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN, IT WENT INTO DRIVE AND I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY WHICH WAS A BLOCK AWAY. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW WHERE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. AM I COVERED ON THIS?
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PERIODICALLY COMES ON AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WORK. THE MESSAGE GIVEN ON THE DASH IS THAT THE GEAR BOX ISN'T AVAILABLE. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, THE INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHES AND THE CAR WON'T MOVE. THE CAR SITS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, THEN IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN FOR A FEW WEEKS. IT IS ASININE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT BY THE MANUFACTURER. THANK GOODNESS THIS HASN'T HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREETS, BUT IT WILL EVENTUALLY. WHEN I BACKED IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE OTHER MORNING IT STOPPED WORKING AND THE ENGINE JUST REVVED. I WOULD RATHER JUNK THIS CAR THAN FIX IT, BUT WE STILL OWE ON IT. WE'VE ONLY HAD THE STUPID THING FOR 6 MONTHS AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE OWNER PRIOR TO US. THIS IS TWO FOR TWO FOR CRAP DODGE CARS. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER!
I WAS DRIVING TO MY LOCAL ALBERTSONS AND WHEN PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPACE IN THE CAR LOT I WENT TO SHIFT MY TRANSMISSION INTO PARK BUT WHEN I MOVED THE STICK UP FROM DRIVE TO PARK I NOTICED THAT THE STICK FELT TOO SMOOTH AS IF IT DIDNT CATCH. SURE ENOUGH WHEN I CHECKED THE LIGHT STILL READ "D" FOR DRIVE INSTEAD OF "P" FOR PARK AT THIS POINT I HAD A VEHICLE THAT I COULDN'T NORMALLY SHIFT SO MAINTAINING MY FOOT ON THE BREAK I WAS ABLE TO POWER OFF THE ENGINE BUT MY KEYS WERE STILL STUCK INSIDE AS THATS A FEATURE OF THE CAR IF THE CAR IS NOT SET ON PARK. I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY HAND BRAKE AND LUCKLY THE CAR WASN'T MOVING ON ITS OWN. AFTER CALLING AAA TO TOW MY CAR THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE SHIFT CABLE BUSHING HAD BROKE. HE SAID I WAS LUCKY TO BE IN A SITUATION WHERE I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN THE SAFE AREA TO ADDRESS THIS AS HAD THIS HAPPENED IF I WAS REVERSING ON A HILL OR ATTEMPTING PARK DOWNHILL AND IT BROKE THEN IT COULD HAVE LED TO A COLLISION.
I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR, MY LIFE HAS BEEN PUT IN DANGER ON COUNTLESS OCCASIONS. THE 2013 DODGE DART SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD, IT IS A DANGER TO OTHERS AND TO ITS DRIVERS. I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2013 AND FROM DAY ONE I ALWAYS FELT THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WAY IT SHIFTED. IT IS NOW 2019 AND FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS THE CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE RECALL. THE CAR HAS REVVED UP TO 80 MPH ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, IF I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE I WOULD HAVE DRIVEN IN TO THE INTERSECTION. THE CARS RPMS HAVE GONE UP TO 7,000 WHILE I WAS AT 50 MPH, THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS SHIFTING BACK DOWN WHILE COMING TO A SLOWER SPEED ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT IN COLD TEMPERATURES AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, THE CAR HAS LOST ALL BOOST WHILE STEPPING ON THE GAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, THE CAR IS 6 YEARS OLD 67,000 MILES AND NEEDS THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REPLACED ONE WEEK AFTER MY 6 YEAR WARRANTY ENDED. THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE AND UNPREDICTABLE, NOT ONLY HAS THIS CAR BEEN A FINANCIAL BURDEN BUT IT HAS PUT MINE AND MY CHILD'S LIFE IN DANGER AND THE DEALER CAN NOT FIX THE REOCCURRING PROBLEMS.
VEHICLE WILL ACT LIKE IT SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE CAR IS ALSO REVVING UP TO 3RPM ON ITS OWN WITH NO GAS PETAL BEING TOOTHED. THE STEERING COLUMN IS CLICKING AND MAKING A SCRUBBING SOUND. MECHANICS CAN NOT IDENTIFY A PROBLEM
TAKATA RECALL. HI I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART LIMITED WITH 118,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS AT A 4 WAY STOP SIGN I WENT TO GO AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. MY GEARS WOULD NOT WORK. DRIVE, REVERSE AND NEUTRAL ALL DO NOT WORK. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S THE TRANSMISSION.THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION. IT'S A AUTOMIX 1.4 TURBO TRANSMISSION. THIS SHOULD BE ON YOUR GUYS TO RECALL AND RELACE MY TRANSMISSION.
TAMARA RECALL. I WAS DRIVING MY DART HOME FROM WORK THIS EVENING WHEN I NOTICED A POWER LOSS AND A BURNING SMELL. ONCE I PULLED CAR OVER I REALIZED IT WAS ON FIRE. FIRE STARTED JUST BY THE BATTERY. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS.

ELK GROVE DODGE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION.WITH APPROXIMATELY 59,893 MILES ON THE CAR. APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MONTHS AGO 6 MONTHS LATER I WAS ON THE FREE WAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR AND WENT INTO NEUTRAL. I THEN LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE CENTER DIVIDE. I CONTACTED ELK GROVE DODGE WHEN I FINALLY GOT HOME WITH THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED ME THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY EVEN IF IT WAS UNDER SAFETY RECALL. I CONTACTED DODGE RESOLUTIONS DEPT. SPOKE TO A GUY BY THE NAME OF CHANCE. THIS GUY IS TAKING HIS DEAR SWEET TIME IN HELPING ME. THIS VEHICLE IS A LEMON AND CHRYSLER IS STARTING TO REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.
TAKATA RECALL TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND BLIND SPOT DETECTOR ISSUES WHILE IN MOTION MY RIGHT BLIND SPOT DETECTOR WILL TURN EVEN IF NOBODY IS IN THE PROPER PARAMETERS OF THE VEHICLE
MY DAUGHTER JUST PURCHASED A 2013 DODGE DART 4 MONTHS AGO AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS ALREADY BEEN FAILING. I KNOW SEVERAL OTHER 2013 DODGE DARTS HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS AND UNFORTUNATELY MY DAUGHTERS CAR HAS NOT BUT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THEY WONT PAY FOR IT WITHOUT THE RECALL ON THAT VIN # . I THINK IF THERE IS A DEFECT ON THESE 2013 DARTS THEY ALL SHOULD BE RECALLED

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE APPROVED FOR RECALL CONCERNING (MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH) WHICH IS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROLLER AS ITS COMMUNICATING CABLES ARE TOO FRAGILE TO WORK UNDER REGULAR TURNING SIGNAL USAGE AS CABLE WITHIN COMPONENT GETS PULLED BY IT'S OWN REGULAR MOTION AT USAGE. THIS CAUSES THE CABLES WITHIN THE SWITCH TO GET CUT AND BROKEN MAKING IT TO BREAK COMPLETELY. BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT BEING PRODUCED BY MOPAR THE PART IS NOT FOUND AS DODGE DEALERS MAKE YOU WAIT IN LINE NEXT TO 400 OTHER DODGE DRIVER OWNERS IN ORDER TO GET THE PART (WHEN THEY START PRODUCING THE PART) WHICH THERE HAS BEEN NO CONFIRMATION OF BEING PRODUCED BY MOPAR.
IT APPEARS THERE IS AN ALARMING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN I START THE CAR AT DEGREES LOWER THAN 40. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE BUT WHEN IT OCCURS I LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD RESULTING IN MY RPM'S TO JUMP HIGHER THAN NORMAL ACCOMPANIED BY VIBRATION AND RATALING COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OR TIRE (ITS HARD TO TELL) . FROM MY RESEARCH, THE COLD START ISSUE WAS A RECALL FOR 2013 DODGE DART BUT IT IS NOT SHOWING FOR MY VIN. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME REGUARDING THIS COMPLAINT??

MAIN DASH/ TOUCH SCREEN WILL NOT TURN ON AT CAR START WHICH MAKES HEAT/COOLING/RADIO/REAR CAMERA/ SEAT HEATING INACCESSIBLE AND UNCONTROLLABLE. MULTIPLE RESTARTS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND WHILE DRIVING IT WILL NOT COME ON. ANYTHING CONTROLLED BY DASH/TOUCH SCREEN IS LOCKED TO THE SETTINGS THEY WERE LAST TIME THE DASH/ TOUCH SCREEN WAS ACCESSIBLE. ACTUAL CONTROLE KNOBS DO NOT WORK WHEN DASH/TOUCH SCREEN IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. IF SYSTEMS DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY AT START THEY DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY AFTER DRIVING AND 'WARMING' UP THE ENGIN. THIS CAR IS LOCATED IN MICHIGAN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE HAD BEEN MULTIPLE FAILURES PERTAINING TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TURBOS. ALSO, THE VEHICLE MISFIRED AND FAILED TO START SEVERAL TIMES. WHILE ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE REVERSED WHEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THE DEALER (BAXTER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OMAHA (17950 BURT ST, OMAHA, NE 68118, (402) 800-1230) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED A THIRD TIME BECAUSE A PORCELAIN PIECE SURROUNDING THE CENTER ELECTRODE FRACTURED AND A PLUG CAME OUT OF A PISTON TOP ASSOCIATED WITH THE CYLINDER WALLS, WHICH DAMAGED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THE TURBO, AND THE LONG BLOCK. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PARTS. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE OEM PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED CAUSED THE FAILURES BECAUSE, AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
VEHICLE "BUCKING" BETWEEN 1500 AND 2000 RPM. PROBLEM MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING. SEEMS TO BE EITHER CLOGGED FUEL FILTERS, FUEL PUMP, SPARK PLUGS, OR IGNITION COILS WITH THE LAST TWO BEING THE PRIMARY. CONTINUOUS ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR. TOOK TO DODGE. SAID IT WAS FIXED, BUT PROBLEM CONTINUED. THEY WOULD NO LONGER LOOK INTO ISSUE BECAUSE VEHICLE HIT 100,000 MILES.
I WAS INVOLVED IN CAR ACCIDENT 12/20/2018, MY AIRBAG ON DRIVER SIDE DID NOT DEFLATE. I RECEIVED BRUISE AND PAIN ON MY LEFT SIDE OF THE BODY. *DT *TR
CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING , WARNINGS SIGNS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SAID BLIND SPOT UNAVAILABLE , AUTO STICK UNAVAILABLE , GEAR NOT AVAILABLE THEN FOLLOW BY A SERVICE TRANSMISSION. COULDN'T GET THE CAR STARTED BACK WHEN I HAD TO WAIT 10 MINS , FINALLY GOT IT START BACK UP AS A RESULT HARD SIFTING OCCURRED.
I HAVE HAD 5 DIFFERENT PLACES CHANGE MY OIL AND AT EVERY ONE THE FILTER HAS EITHER COME OFF IN MY HAND OR CREATE A GAP IN THE FILTER SEAL WHICH IS CAUSED OIL TO START SPRAYING ALL OVER THE CAR AND LEAKING ALL OVER THE GROUND. ALL FIVE TIMES THIS IS HAPPENED THE FILTER IS EITHER GOING OFF IN MY HAND OR HAD THE SEAL OF THE FILTER START LEAKING OIL. SPRAYING OIL ALL OVER IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND CAUSING ME TO LOSE ALL OF MY OIL ON THE GROUND AND ALL OVER THE ENGINE UNKNOWN IF THIS IS CAUSED ANY OTHER PROBLEMS INSIDE THE ENGINE YET EVERY TIME THIS IS HAPPENED I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET ON THE FREEWAY I WAS ABLE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND HAVE IT TAKEN CARE OF WITH MINIMAL DRIVING WITHOUT OIL . THIS IS HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES NOW AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS CHANGING THE OIL EVERY TIME IT'S HAPPENED WHEN YOU JUST CHANGE THE OIL AND ALSO WHEN IT'S ALMOST TIME TO CHANGE OIL AGAIN OR ANYTIME IN BETWEEN THAT. IF I HAD MADE IT ON THE FREEWAY WITH ANY OF THESE TIMES THAT THIS IS HAPPENED IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC TO MY ENGINE AND CAUSE ME TO CRASH
WAS DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP. THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND STARTED TO SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO FIGHT TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD SINCE THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. ALL THE LIGHTS REMAINED LIT UP. I BELIEVE IT'S THE PCM DO TO OTHER RECALL BUT MY CAR IS A MANUAL AND THE RECALL IS FOR AUTOMATICS ONLY.
I GOT IN MY CAR, STARTED IN, PLACED IT IN DRIVE AND PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I GOT NO MORE THAN 4 FEET AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN FROM DRIVE AND THEN STOP MOVING. I PUT THE BRAKE ON, MOVED THE GEAR STICK INTO PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE GEAR SHIFT AND REALIZED IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND SAID THE SAME ON THE DASH. REPEATED TRIES PROVED TO BE FRUITLESS. THE CAR IS NOW ENGAGED IN DRIVE AND PREVENTS ME FROM REMOVING MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION.
MY 2013 DODGE DART SXT WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF! THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE SWITCH NOT WORKING OR IT'S AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. TURN SIGNALS STILL WORK BUT THIS IS A HAZARD THAT CAN GET DRIVER HURT. IT ADDS AN DISTRACTION.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS, THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE NEEDLES FOR THE SPEED AND RPM WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM LIKE THE CAR WAS CUT OFF. THE CAR WAS STILL IN MOTION. THE DASHBOARD SAID SERVICE ELECTRICAL BREAKING SYSTEM AND THE ENGINE LIGHT ELUMINATED. IT DID THIS MORE THAN ONE TIME. IT WILL FLICKER THE WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD AND THEN AT ONE POINT THE CAR CUT OFF WHILE ON CITY STREETS. AT ANOTHER TIME WHEN THE MESSAGE FLICKERED ON THE DASHBOARD THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY IN THIS CAR AS WELL AS MY CHILDREN. THE RADIO CUT OFF AND THE EVENTUALLY CUT BACK ON.
THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FUNCTION ON THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS ON THE MANUAL VERSION OF THE 2013 DODGE DART 1.4L MULTIAIR TURBO SEIZE OVER TIME. IT HAPPENED FIRST WITH MY BACK RIGHT REAR CALIPER. I WAS DRIVING AFTER HAVING PARKED USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE CAR WAS PULLING HARD TO THE RIGHT AND WAS RESISTING ACCELERATION. I PULLED OVER TO FIND MY BACK RIGHT WHEEL SMOKING AND THE ROTOR RED HOT. THE EVENT WAS DANGEROUS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL AUTOSHOP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS GALVANIC CORROSION ON A SPRING THAT WAS INTENDED TO RELEASE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN DISENGAGED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WASNT THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY HAD SEEN THIS ON THIS MODEL OF CAR, AND THAT I SHOULD EXPECT FOR IT TO HAPPEN ON THE OPPOSITE ASSEMBLY AS WELL. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE BOTH AT THE TIME, SO I ONLY REPLACED THE DAMAGED CALIPER, ROTOR, AND PADS. SLIGHTLY OVER ONE YEAR LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE OTHER ASSEMBLY. I ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT MYSELF. TO MY SURPRISE, UPON GETTING UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND COMPARING THE TWO BRAKE ASSEMBLIES, THE ASSEMBLY THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED WAS VISIBLY DIFFERENT. THERE APPEARS TO BE A COATING ON THE RELEASE SPRING. TO ME, THIS SIGNIFIES THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS MADE A REVISION, HOWEVER THERE IS NOT A RECALL IN PLACE. CONSIDERING THE IMPORTANCE OF BRAKES AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO MANUAL VEHICLES, I CONSIDER THIS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR RECALLS AND NOT FOUND ANY, AND I HAVE REACHED OUT TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT WITHOUT A RECALL, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.
ENGINE BEGAN TO RUN ROUGHLY AND THEN STALLED IN TRAFFIC WHILE AT A LIGHT. MANAGED TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL TIRES WITH GAUGES CLICKING AND DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING AND DROVE HOME. CAR WILL NOT START NOW ALTHOUGH LIGHTS AND RADIO FUNCTION NORMALLY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE WIPER BLADES ACTIVATED AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.
BRAKE-BOOSTER VACUUM-TUBE IS LETTING OIL HIT MY BRAKES AND WHEN I STOP THE CAR IT SMOKES AND A REALLY BAD SMELL IS SUCKED IN BY THE A/C INTO THE CABIN AREA. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO NOT LETTING MY CAR STOP IN A SHORT DISTANCE ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS WORD FOR WORD ON THE FCA WEDSITE ABOUT THE PROBLEM "BRAKE-BOOSTER VACUUM-TUBE ROUTING MAY INADVERTENTLY ALLOW OIL TO REACH THE BRAKE-BOOSTER DIAPHRAGM IN THE EVENT THAT THE VACUUM-PUMP CHECK VALVE FAILS; OIL MAY DEGRADE THE DIAPHRAGM AND LEAD TO A LOSS OF BRAKE ASSIST, LENGTHENING STOPPING DISTANCES AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." I HAVE GONE TO EVERY DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA AND BECAUSE MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST I CAN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. MY FEAR IS ONE DAY I MAY BRAKE AND THE CAR GOES UP IN FLAMES..
THE CAR KEEPS CUTTING OFF. I CRANK IT BACK UP AND IT RUNS FOR A LITTLE BIT AND CUTS RIGHT BACK OFF. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECK AND THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE.
CAR RECENTLY DIED. SHOWED SIGNS OF A BAD ALTERNATOR- LIGHTS, SENSORS, RADIO SHUT DOWN, POWER STEERING WENT OUT. REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY. DROVE FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS AND ONCE AGAIN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I AM NOW ON ALTERNATOR FOUR AND BATTERY NUMBER THREE. HAD THE NEW ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY PUT ON, STARTED THE CAR AND THE BATTERY LIGHT COME ON. HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED, BOTH PASSED AS LONG AS RADIO AND HEAT WAS NOT ON. DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND THE CAR DIED AGAIN LIKE THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD EXCEPT IT'S NOT BECAUSE IT WAS TESTED. DEALERSHIP WAS OF ZERO HELP AND STILL CAN NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. THIS CAR IS A COMPLETE HAZARD WHILE DRIVING DUE TO IT DYING IN TRAFFIC.
I WAS DRIVING AND HAD MY WIPERS ON OF COURSE BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING AND IT STOPPED RAINING SO I WENT TO TURN THEM OFF BUT IT NEVER TURNED OFF. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE RIBBON INSIDE WAS BROKEN AND THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE OVER 500$ TO FIX IT. SO I LOOKED UP THE FUSE TO TAKE IT OUT SO IT WOULD TURN OFF BUT TURNS OUT THERE ISN'T ANY FUSE FOR IT. I'M LOOKING THROUGH THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE ACTUALLY A LOT OF PEOPLE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD FIX THIS AT NO COST. IT'S HAPPENING TO A GOOD CHUNK OF PEOPLE
MY CAR IS TICKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IN RESEARCHING EVERYONE WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE HAVING TO REPLACE THE CV JOINT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. SUPER FRUSTRATING THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS AS IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE. WHEN TRYING TO PURCHASE THE PASSENGER CV JOINT EVERYONE IS SELLING USED CV JOINTS FOR DRIVERS SIDE AND THERE IS NOT OPTIONS FOR PASSENGER SIDE.
I PURCHASED THE CAR JULY 2017 AND HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER 5 TIMES DUE TO PROBLEMS. I HAD A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT COMING UP, THE DEALER FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY. MARCH 2018 THE BATTERY SIGN LIT UP FOLLOWED BY A SLEW OF OTHER SIGNALS, INCLUDING A POWER STEERING LOCK SIGNAL AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THEN THE POWER STEERING LOCKED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL HARD ENOUGH AND LUCKILY FOUND A PARKING LOT WHERE I COULD PARK THE PARK SINCE I WAS IN A HEAVILY TRANSITED AREA. ATTACHED IS A PICTURE I TOOK AFTER I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PARK THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR, I HAD TO PAY $250+ FOR THIS. NOVEMBER 2018, THE BLUETOOTH DOES NOT CONNECT, THE ODOMETER IS BLINKING CONTINUOUSLY AND THE CAR SHAKES WHEN AT A STOP. TURNS OUT TO BE THAT THE BLUETOOTH CONSOLE NEEDED TO BE CHANGED ($900+ COST), A TUNE UP WAS NEEDED 'BADLY' ($400+) AND THERE WAS BELIEVED TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A PIECE OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE. THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE COST OF THIS LAST ISSUE IF IT WAS FOUND TO BE THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. IF IT WAS FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION PART WAS NOT CAUSING THE SHAKING, WE WOULD NEED TO COVER THE $600+ COST FOR THE LABOR. WE ARE IN PROCESS OF DEALING THIS MATTER WITH A MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP, SINCE WE DO NOT WANT TO KEEP THIS CAR.

BRAKE BOOSTER VACCUM PUMP IS LEAKING OIL, CAUSING CAR TO SMOKE AND HAVE A BURNING SMELL. IT WAS RECALLED ON OTHER MODELS OF THE DODGE DART BUT NOT THIS ONE, AND IT'S HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN TURNING, PARKING, OR BRAKING.
WHEN TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY TO PARK MY CAR. THE GEAR SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL WHEN I THOUGHT I PARKED MY CAR I TRIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE, REVERSE, AND PARK BUT IT WOULD NOT SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR. ALSO MY KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION BECAUSE IT'S STUCK IN NEUTRAL.
MY SON WAS DRIVING HIGH WAY 280 EAST BOUND MP15.1 WHEN A VEHICLE IT US FROM BEHI D THEN HIT US A SECOND TIME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR BETWEEN THE PASSAGERS FRONT AND BACK DOOR BUSTING THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW OUT AND DENTED THE WHOLE PASSAGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE TOTALLING THE VEHICLE OUT WE ENDED UP HITTING AND DAMAGING THE DIVIDER WALL BEFORE COMING TO A STOP ALONG THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD FACING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION....IT WAS RAINING CATS AND DOGS... REALLY HARD
THE CLUTCH STAYS STUCK TO THE FLOOR, THEN PRESSURES UP AT TIMES .I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE.
CAR WOULDN'T START THEN WHEN IT DID THE GEAR INDICATOR LIGHTS TURNED RED AND SHIFTS REALLY HARD THEN YOU CAN SHUT CAR OFF AND WIGGLE THE SHIFTER AND IT WILL START BACK UP AND RUN FINE FOR A WHILE THEN WHEN SITTING AT A LIGHT IT MIGHT GO BACK TO THE RED LIGHTS AND START SHIFTING HARD AGAIN WAS TOLD ITS THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) YOU REALLY NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO DO THIS HAS DONE IT IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNS WHEN IT STARTS OR JUST SITTING IN PLACE

CAR'S ENGINE COMPARTMENT BURST INTO FLAMES DURING COMMUTE TO WORK 0700 IN THE MORNING 10/09/2018, 65 DEGREE DAY IN 35 MPH ZONE. 54,000 MILES ON CAR. CAR WAS MOVING AT 30MPH WHEN ENGINE DIED AND CAR STARTED TO SMOKE FROM UNDER HOOD, WITHIN 60 SECONDS FLAMES APPEARED FROM HOOD, MY DAUGHTER DRIVING THE CAR GOT OUT JUST IN TIME SHE WAS THE ONLY PASSENGER. LOST ALL BELONGINGS IN CAR.
CAR ACCELERATES TO 7000 RPMS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT OF A STOP CAR DOESN'T MOVE. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES AT DIFFERENT INTERSECTIONS ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND. DEALER CANT DUPLICATE ERROR MY FEAR IS AN ACCIDENT.
AUTOMATIC TRANS SHIFT LINKAGE BUSHING HAS FAILED. LEAVING CAR UNSERVICABLE. DEALER STATES TO ORDER BUSHING THEY DON'T HAVE ANY. 2013 50K
POWER STEERING GOES IN AND OUT DUE TO SHORTAGE TO TERMINAL. CAUSES ENTIRE DASH BOARD TO FLICKER OR CAR NOT TO START. TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND WILL NOT TURN OFF.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT CUT OFF RAINING OR NO RAIN. WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE THEY JUST RUN.
SO THIS IS LIKE THE THIRD(3) TIME THAT MY BATTERY HAS GONE DEAD. AT FIRST IT WAS THE STOCK BATTERY. THEN I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW ON AT MY LOCAL AUTO ZONE FOR $200 AND SOMETHING. THEN THE SAME THING KEEPS HAPPENING. ONCE IT HAPPENS THE STIRRING WHEEL BEGINS TO GET REALLY REALLY TIGHT UNTIL YOU CAN'T REALLY MOVE IT. ONE DAY MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING IT AND SHE GOT STOCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T MOVE IT. BUT IT IS REALLY SCARY BECAUSE YOU HAVE CARS BEHIND YOU DRIVING 60+MPH AND YOU PRAY THAT YOU DON'T GET HIT BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT NOBODY TO GET INJURED SPECIALLY YOU. HOPE DODGE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT. REALLY STARTING TO DISLIKE THE CAR I LOVE. :/
SHIFTING STICK IS STUCK, THE CAR APPEARS TO BE STUCK IN REVERSE BUT ACTUALLY IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL, THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND CAR WON'T TURN ON. DAY PRIOR TO THIS CAR WAS PARK ALL DAY, LATER IN THE EVENING IT WAS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 3-5 MILES AND PARKED WITHOUT AN ISSUE. NOTHING WAS OUT OF THE ORDINARY UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN.
THE CLUTCH CABLE BECAME DISCONNECTED JUST AS I WAS PULLING INTO A GAS STATION
I AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY TRANSMISSION. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I WILL GET A NOTIFICATION TO "SERVICE TRANSMISSION." AFTER THAT NOTIFICATION COMES UP MY CAR BECOMES SLOW TO RESPOND TO SHIFTING GEARS. I WILL ALSO NOT BE ABLE TO USE "REVERSE" AS IT WILL STATE THAT THE GEAR IS UNAVAILABLE. DRIVING IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR ARE DIFFICULT AS THE CAR TAKES FOREVER TO HIT A CERTAIN RPM. CAR WILL SOMETIMES NOT TURN ON AFTER THIS HAPPENS AND WILL REMAIN UNDRIVEABLE.
TAKATA RECALL THIS CAR IS GARBAGE ! DODGE SHOULDN'T MAKE THIS MODEL ANYMORE. I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS TWO YEARS IN OF HAVING THIS CAR. I HAD TO START CHANGING TIRES SO MANY TIME. AIR ALWAYS GOES DOWN, TIRES KEEP GETTING THOSE AIR BALLS. (NO I DON'T PARK CLOSE TO THE SIDEWALK OR HIT THE SIDEWALK) MY STEERING WHEEL ALWAYS CRACKS EVERYTIME I TURN IT. MY WHOLE CAR SHAKES ! I PRESS THE BRAKES AND IT GOES CRAZY. MY ENGINE MESSED UP TOO (IT HAD WATER INSIDE) I HAD TO FIX SOME HEATING HOSE ! MY WINDOW BUTTON STUGGLES TO GO UP ?I HAD TO CHANGE MY BATTERY THREE TIME ! KEEP IN MIND I GOT THIS CAR NEW. ZERO EVERYTHING ! FOR 6 YEARS ! I'VE PUT SO MUCH MONEY ON A CAR I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED PAYING ! A CAR NEEDS THING TO GET FIXED BUT NOT LIKE THIS! JUST ISN'T NORMAL. GARAGE OF A CAR! DODGE DART SXT 2013 ! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME ON THIS CAR. SAVE YOURSELF.
AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE COME TO FIND THAT DODGE DARTS 2013 AND NEWER HAVE ISSUES WITH BATTERIES GOING DEAD. I HAVE HAD TO GET THE BATTERY REPLACED IN 2015 AND AND NOW HAVING IT REPLACED AGAIN. OTHER DODGE DART OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ON MANY CAR BLOGS AND SIMILAR SITES. THERE IS NO REASON A CAR BUILT IN 2013 SHOULD GO THROUGH 3 BATTERIES IN 5 YEARS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT. I HAVE ATTACHED THE INVOICE FROM THE SERVICE IN 2015 AND CAN PROVIDE THE INVOICE FOR THIS SERVICE ONCE I RECEIVE IT.
AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AT MY APARTMENT, I PUT CAR IN DRIVE BUT IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND LOCKED IN, LEAVING THE CAR INOPERABLE. CANNOT GET OUT OF NEUTRAL AND CANNOT CUT CAR OFF FULLY AND REMOVE KEY.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE MOUNTAIN ROADS TO DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY TO DRIVING ANY WHERE MY TURBO CUTS OFF AND I LOSE ALMOST ALL POWER CAUSING ME TO LOOSE POWER GOING UP A STEEP HILL AND ALMOST GET REAR ENDED AT LEAST 3 TIMES. FURTHER MORE WHEN I'M GETTING READY TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY AND IT CUTS OUT CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BE HIT BY TRUCKERS. I GET A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY SMELLS ALMOST LIKE OIL OR WIRE SMELL. MY SPEED CONTROL IS NON FUNCTIONING AND MY EBRAKE IS ALSO [XXX] NEAR INOPERABLE. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A TOTAL LEMON LAW FOR 2013 DODGE DARTS THEY ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE FOR THE OWNER AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD . SO IF THIS IS A NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ADMINISTRATION WHY IS IT NOT RECALLED!!!!! PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
WHILE STOPPED BEHIND ANOTHER CAR, MY RPMS WENT INTO THE RED WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. IT WAS AS IF MY CAR WERE IN NEUTRAL AND I HAD HIT THE GAS. I DIDNT GO ANYWHERE BUT MY RPMS JUMPED TO 7. I KNOW THERE USED TO BE A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR THE CONTROL MODULE AND I'VE HAD MY CAR SERVICED FOR THE RECALL. THE DEALER I TOOK MY CAR TO STATES MY CAR DID HAVE THIS ISSUE. AFTER HAVING THE RECALL CORRECTED THE SAME THING SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.
I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A WEEK AND A HALF AGO AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL INTERMITTENTLY FEELS STRANGE LIKE IT'S STICKING IN SOME WAY. BEEN DRIVING MANUAL CARS MY ENTIRE DRIVING CAREER (20 YEARS). I HAVE NEVER FELT MY CLUTCH PEDAL DO THIS ON ANY CAR BEFORE! UPON LOOKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE! I LOVE THE CAR WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL FEELS SMOOTH AND NORMAL, HOWEVER IT IS VERY ALARMING WHEN IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING! SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, I TRULY HOPE CHRYSLER WILL ISSUE A RECALL AS IT SEEMS LIKE MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD EXPENSIVE ISSUES WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER AT AS LITTLE AS 22,000 MILES...IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHILE STARTING THE CAR...MOSTLY HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING HOWEVER.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS IN REVERSE, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO MOVE AND THE KEY FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
I NEVER KNEW THE CAR HAD A RECALL I ONLY HAD THE CAR A MONTH
WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE RPM INCREASED AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO BE OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WITH THE SELECTOR SHIFT IN THE DRIVE POSITION BUT WOULD MOVE WHEN MANUAL SELECTED IN 1ST GEAR. RECALL R42 HAS BEEN PREFORMED THAT ADDRESSED THE SHIFTIER MODULE. INFORMATION FROM THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICE SHOP STATED THAT THE SHIFTIER MODULE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. IT APPEARS THAT THIS MODULE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AS IN MY CASE BEING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED WHEN THE CAR BEGAN SLOWING.
I HAVE AN ONGOING ISSUE ABOUT THE BATTERY SIGN COMING ON SPORADICALLY. I TOOK THE CAR 3X TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG. A COUPLE OF MONTH LATER AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT SIGNS CAME UP WHILE DRIVING, A WARNING ABOUT THE POWER STEERING ALSO APPEARED BRIEFLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO A SAFE ZONE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND YET AGAIN THEY FOUND NOTHING, THEY TOLD ME THAT NO SIGNS APPEARED. ATTACHED IS THE ONE PICTURE I WAS ABLE TO TAKE ONCE I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO A SAFE ZONE. IM JUST SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN, MORE SO SINCE WENT THAT HAPPENED I HAD MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME IN THE CAR. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO BUT I CANT UPLOAD IT.
VACUUM PUMP LEAKING OIL AND A BURNING SMELL COMES THROUGH THE VENTS WHEN BRAKES ARE PUSHED, ALSO CAUSED THE O2 SENSOR TO GO BAD AND A/C TO NOT WORK LIKE IT SHOULD. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND YOU PUSH THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP.
I HAVE HAD TO TAKE THE CAR IN EVERY 2,000 MILES OR SO TO HAVE IT RECALIBRATED(ENGINE LIGHT ON), THE DRIVERS HEADLIGHT WENT OUT, SHOP WHERE I BOUGHT IT SAID IT'S THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, BOUGHT ONE AND HAD REGULAR MECHANIC PUT IN, DID NOT WORK. MY REGULAR MECHANIC SAID IT IS PROBABLY THE HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE, AND SINCE I NEED TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN FOR RECALIBRATION I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THE MODULE WAS CHECKED AND HAVE IT REPLACED. SORRY I BOUGHT THIS CAR, IT'S IN THE SHOP EVERY 3-4 MONTHS!!!
PULL INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT WOULD NOT GO INTO PARKING AND HAD TO PUT EMERGENCY BRAKE ON TRYING TO TAKE THE KEY OUT WOULDN'T LET ME IT TURN OUT TO BE THE AUTO TRANS SHIFTER LINKAGE BROKE OFF
WHEN YOU PUT ON REVERSE GEAR THE GEAR GIVES JERK AND WILL NOT HOLD,,,CAR HAS TO BE RESTARTED AND PUT IN REVERSE GEAR AGAIN...ALL THE LIGHTS INDICATION ON GEAR TURNS RED...DODGE DON'T RESOLVE THIS ISSUE...THEY JUST SAY IT IS SENSOR...BUT IT IS TRANSMISSION ISSUE...
BURNED OIL AND NEED TO PUT OIL IN AFTER 750 MILES. NEW ENGINE WAS PUT IN, BUT IT STILL HAVE PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED 12/4/17. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND IT COMPLETELY STOP WITHOUT WARNING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS AN ENGINE ISSUE. AFTER 6 MONTHS, THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. IT WAS BURNING OIL
TAKATA RECALL
I TOOK MY DODGE DART INTO A DEALERSHIP AFTER IT SAID SERVICE TRANSMISSION THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT SO I DROVE IT SOME MORE AND NOW IT SAID SERVICE TRANSMISSION,NO REVERSE,AND ENGINE TEMP TO HOT SO I CALLED CRYSTLER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT SINCE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR SINCE JANUARY 24TH OF THIS YEAR I SHOULDNT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH IT AND THE HUN I LOOK THE VIN UP IT SAYS IT'S A DODGE DART SXT WHEN IT'S A RALLYE SO SOMETHING DON'T MAKE SINCE I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE SCREWED OVER AND HAVE TO PAY 8,000$ FOR A BROKEN CAR
POSSIBLE TCM/PCM RECALL. DROVE 2013 DODGE DART 27 MILES WITHOUT ISSUE. AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 3 HOURS, I WENT TO LEAVE AND CAR WOULD NOT START WITH ERROR MESSAGES READING " AUTOSTICK UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED," FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE TRANSMISSION"
MY 2013 DODGE DART INATTENTIONALLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT CHANGE OUT OF NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DODGE DEALER FOR REPAIR.
HAD ISSUE WITH 2013 DODGE DART CRANKING . IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD CRANK UP.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, WHEN SHIFTING THE GEAR INTO FIRST OR SECOND, IT SWITCHED BACK TO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT FAILED TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE MALL OF GEORGIA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (4345 BUFORD DR, BUFORD, GA 30518, (888) 342-2969) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,312.
RECALL R42 . THIS RECALL APPLIES ONLY TO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL UNIT AND IT STATES THAT THE MODULE COULD RANDOMLY GET INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. WE HAD THIS CALLED SERVICED AT NYLE MAXWELL IN AUSTIN AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER TAKING THE CAR IN AN LEAVING IT IN FOR THEM TO FIX IT FOR WEEKS TWICE SO FAR, THEY RETURN IT AS "PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FOUND OR DUPLICATED" I HAVE SINCE THEN PURCHASE, TWO MORE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULES (TCM) TO FIX THE SAFETY ISSUE I FOUND A REPLICA OF WHAT WAS PUT IN AT THE DEALER TO SERVICE RECALL R42. UPON A FAILURE! THE TCM MODULE DOES NOT RECOVER AND RENDERS THE CAR IN MOBILE WHEN THE SPARE MODULE IS PLUGGED IN, THE ERRORS GO AWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO RUN CORRECTLY. THE CAR CAN THEN BE STOP BY TURNING OF THE CAR AND THE FAILING UNIT RECONNECTED AND THE CAR STARTS TO RUN CORRECTLY AGAIN WITHOUT THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION ERROR AND THE ABSENCE OF GEARS. THIS PROVES IT IS NOT THE TRANSMISSION BUT THE SMARTS IN THE TCM. AS FOR THE TCM THAT WAS PUT IN, THAT ONE IS STILL FAILING TO OPERATE THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT LEAVING US BROKEN DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT GEARS. SO PLEASE HELP ME INVESTIGATE, WHAT IS THE LAST AND APPROPRIATE VERSION THAT WOULD FIX R42 RECALL ISSUES IN THIS 2013 DART DODGE DDTC 1.4L TURBO MODEL. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.
I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEH LAST YEAR 3/2017, JUST STARTED HAVING CLUTCH STUCK TO THE FLOOR ISSUES RECENTLY. JUST LAST WEEK AS A MATTER OR FACT, 6 DAYS AGO TODAY (7/25/2018). ISSUES BEGAN 7/19 AS I RECALL AND HAVE A TEXT WHERE I NOTIFIED MY SPOUSE OF THE ISSUE. THE VEH GETS STUCK W CLUTCH TO THE GROUND UNABLE TO CHANGE GEARS THEREFOR UNABLE TO TAKE OFF, VEH IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT STARBUCKS. CALLED DEALERSHIP, IT HAS 70100 MILES, THEY SAID IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO BUT I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME READING AND I AM NOT ALONE. MANY AND MANY OTHER DODGE DART OWNERS ARE GOING AND HAVE GONE THRU SAME THING. MY PROBLEM IS I AM NOT ORIGINAL OWNER AND SEEMS MY WARRANTY EXPIRED A FEW MONTHS AGO BEFORE THE ISSUE BEGAN. I NEED DIRECTION OR ADVISE HOW TO PROCEED. DODGE WAS WELL AWARE AND REPLACED MANY MASTER CYLINDERS AND ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I AM JUST BARELY OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT'S THE SAME ISSUE, NOT SURE WHY IT IS NOT COVERED!!!

CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING - BATTERY LIGHT FLASHES AND I AM UNABLE TO ACCEL. NO POWER WHAT-SO-EVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED (3) TIMES ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT SPEED 60MPH AND TWICE WHILE STOPPING ON RED LIGHT
THE CLUTCH SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE IN MY DODGE DART. IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAS CAUSED INCIDENTS WHERE I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN THIRD OR FOURTH GEAR AND IT WILL JUST SLIP INTO NEAUTRAL AND LOCK UP. I WAS GOING UP A HILL RECENTLY WHEN IT DID THIS CAUSING ME TO FLY BACKWARDS DOWN A HUGE HILL WITH NO BRAKES STEERING OR ANYTHING. IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING JUST DROPPED. IT IS BECOMING A HUGE ISSUE AS I HAVE THREE CHILDREN AND AM SCARED THIS WILL HAPPEN WITH THEM IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING IN OTHER DODGE DARTS YEARS 2013-2018. THE TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS ARE FAULTY. I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED AND IT IS COSTLY JUST FOR IT TO FAIL AGAIN AND AGAIN. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH SYSTEMS IN THESE AND COME UP WITH A BETTER DESIGN THAT IS NOT A DANGER TO PEOPLE'S LIVES.
E BRAKE LOCKED UP AT REAR CALIPER. SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID NUMBER 11109809,
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND SHUT DOWN. THE CONTACT OPENED AND CLOSED THE HOOD, AND THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT CALLED LANDMARK DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM AT 770 968-4900 (LOCATED AT 6850 MT ZION BLVD, MORROW, GA 30260) AND WAS ADVISED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.
IT WAS RAIN AND TURNED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON. WHEN I GOT HOME I WENT TO TURN THE WIPERS OFF THEY WOULD NOT STOP I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE WANT $800.00 TO REPLACE THE PART CAN BE FOUND ONLINE FOR WAY CHEAPER. THIS IS AN INSANE COST FOR A CAR WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL DONE ON THIS PROBLEM. DODGE HAD MADE A LEMON OF CAR. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH IT.
I PULLED MY 2013 DODGE DART IN TO A PARKING SPOT AND WENT TO PUT IT IN PARK BUT IT WOULD NOT SHIFT, I COULD NOT GET THE KEY OUT EITHER, WHEN I WENT TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG THE TRANSMISSION LINK CABLE WAS DISCONNECTED UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE PIN THE CONNECTS IT FELL OUT THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO SHIF THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I SEE THIS YET ANOTHER COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. AND A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHY HASN'T DODGE BEEN FORCE TO RECALL THIS AND FOX THE PROBLEMS.
IN THE LAST 4 WEEKS, WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR HAS DISPLAYED A "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" ERROR AND "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE ERROR." THE FIRST TIME WAS ON I-10 AND IT OCCURRED AND I HAD TO PULL ON THE SIDE OR THE INTERSTATE. MY CARD WAS IN D, BUT IT WOULD NOT DRIVE OR REVERSE. I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT CRANK SAME SERVICE MESSAGES ABOVE POPPED UP. AFTER SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE FOR 20 MINS, I TURNED IT BACK OK AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GO ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK TO MY HOTEL ROOM. THE MESSAGE DISAPPEAR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF, SO THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. YESTERDAY, ON JULY 8, 2018, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 75, GOING ABOUT 65 MPH, AND THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE POPPED UP AGAIN. I HAD TO PULLED TO THE SIDE OR THE INTERSTATE AGAIN, BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE. I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND WAITED FOR 5 MINS AND I WAS ABLE TO EASE BACK TO MY HOME. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE DEALERSHIP STILL CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THOUGH THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEMS, I AM SEEING SEVERAL OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR 2013 MODELS. I'VE FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS EXPLAINING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING AS WELL AS YOUTUBE VIDEOS. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GET DODGE TO DO A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.
BEFORE STARTING VEHICLE, CLUTCH PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO FLOOR AND HAS TO BE PULLED BACK UP INTO POSITION. PROBLEM OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. AFTER CLUTCH IS PUMPED A FEW TIMES, IT REGAINS PRESSURE AND IS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 35,000 MILES BUT IS OVER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY. EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL COVER IT WITH A $100 DEDUCTIBLE. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PAY FOR A CLUTCH REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY/ KNOWN ISSUE ON THE MASTER CYLINDER AND HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKING THROUGHOUT CLUTCH COMPONENTS. ALSO HAD THE TURBO AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED AT 20,000 MILES AFTER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND VEHICLE LOST POWER. AT ONE POINT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALMOST ALL POWER WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO I-95 IN WASHINGTON DC, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT TOOK 4 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE RECREATED AND EVENTUALLY FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE STOPPED WORKING AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES BUT I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE AFFECTED BY THE CALIPER RECALL. PAID FOR CALIPER REPLACEMENT OUT OF POCKET. LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, BUT DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME THEY "CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE".
I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK@ 0730 HRS, TRAVELING ON I 294 N/B, AT A SPEED OF APPROX 45/50 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. AS I ATTEMPTED TO REDUCE MY SPEED, TO MOVE OUT OF THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. I PULLED THE HAND BREAK UP, WHICH DID NOT RESPOND, I PUSHED IT DOWN AND PULLED IT UP A SECOND TIME, WHICH BARELY SLOWED MY VEHICLE, BUT DID ALLOW ME TO COAST TO A SLOW STOP ON THE SHOULDER. AT THIS TIME, THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND A MAN WHO HAD BEEN TRAVELING BEHIND ME, PULLED OVER TO SAY THAT HE HAD SEEN FLAMES COMING FROM MY TAIL PIPE, BEFORE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BURST INTO FLAME. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911. I WAITED IN THE RAIN FOR ILLINOIS STATE POLICE AND THE FIRE DEPT TO RESPOND. STATE POLICE REPORT#IL 0229900 WAS MADE UPON THE TROOPERS ARRIVAL.
MY RADIO HAS BLACKED OUT FOR NO REASON. MY MILEAGE ON MY DIGITAL INSTRUMENT PANEL IS FLASHING. WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DODGE DEALER WITH THIS BEING A KNOWN ISSUE, THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $128 DOLLAR DIAGNOSTIC FEE IN WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. I HAVE ASKED BOTH MY MECHANIC AND A RADIO INSTALLER AND THEY BOTH HAVE SAID THAT THE MILEAGE FLASHING IS A CONCERN ALONG WITH THE RADIO BLACKENED OUT. THAT ONE PROBLEM COULD LEAD TO ANOTHER. POSSIBLE CAUSE IS THE CONTROL MODULE FOR THE ENTIRE CAR, WHICH COULD LEAD TO DOOR LOCKS GOING HAYWIRE, THE WIPERS GOING ON AND OFF, ETC. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN YHE RADIO WENT OUT AND THE MILEAGE FLASHING. RADIO USUALLY GOES OUT FOR ABOUT 10 MINS AND COMES BACK ON. BUT NOT THIS TIME.
AS SOON AS YOU PUT THE KEY IN AND TURN THE VEHICLE ON TO ACC THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE ALWAYS ON. SITTING STILL OR MOVING.
TAKATA RECALL MY CAR HAS BEEN SAYING SERVICE TRANSMISSION AT LEAST 2 OR 3 TIMES A WEEK AND IT WILL HAPPEN AS I'M DRIVING SO IT'LL SAY SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND THEN I'LL FEEL LIKE A PULL AND AS I START PRESSING ON THE BREAK THE ENGINE WILL REV AND THEN WHEN I PARK IT AND TURN IT OFF AND TRY TURNING IT BACK ON IT WON'T TURN BACK ON FOR AT LEAST A DAY SO IT LEAVES ME STRANDED 2-3 TIMES A WEEK OR I'VE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT'LL DO THAT AND I TRY TO KEEP GOING AND PRESS ON THE GAS AND IT WON'T WORK IT JUST REVS SO I'LL BE GOING LESS THEN SPEED LIMIT WHILE EVERYONE ELSE GOES SPEED LIMIT AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT AT LEAST TWICE. IT'S SUPER DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE THIS CAR AROUND AND I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY HAVE TOLD ME WAS IT'S A SAFETY FEATURE MY CAR HAS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S DOING THAT.
ROLLING UP TO A STOP SIGN AND MY CLUTCH PETAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE. COULD NOT PUT IT INTO GEAR.
I AM TOLD THAT THE WIPER SWITCH IS BAD AND IT COSTS $852.00 TO REPLACE IF YOU CAN FIND ONE AND THEN DODGE WANTS $400.00 LABOR TO INSTALL THIS PART
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE AFTER THE PARKING BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,300.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,280.
MY 2013 DODGE DART HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH ISSUES FOR A YEAR. MY TIRES HAVE BEEN POPPING LEFT AND RIGHT BRAND NEW AND USED TIRES JUST POPPING WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. THE CAR NOW HAS A BCM PROBLEM AS WELL AS A SMALL GAS LEAK. I HAVE WENT THROUGH MULTIPLE DEALERSHIP THAT LOOKED OVER THE CAR AND CAN'T DETERMINE WHERE THE GAS LEAK IS COMING FROM IN WHICH MY CHECK ENGINE IS STILL ONE WHICH LEAVE ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE INSPECTED OR REGISTERED AGAIN. THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME AND MY FAMILY SO MUCH MONEY AND ISSUES. IT HARDLY WANTS TO DRIVE, MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION FOR SOME REASON AND I CAN'T TURN THE CAR OFF. THE DODGE AND RECALL PLACE TOLD ME THEY CAN NOT HELP ME BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT RECALLED BUT I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS EVERY OTHER 2013 DODGE DART.
CLUTCH IS STICKING IN THE 1.4L TURBO DART WHILE STATIONARY. CAR WOULDN'T START RIGHT AWAY BUT DID EVENTUALLY. HARD TO GET INTO GEAR WHILE STATIONARY. EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS FAILED AND IS NOT WORKING. AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, ON THE DASH.
IVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACE 4 TIMES STILL DOING THE SAME ISSUE. IT WILL GIVE ME A SIGNAL THAT THE GEARS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AND THEN IT WOULD BE LIKE THE RPM DIE DOWN TO A LOWER GEAR. IT WOULD THEN REV HIGH IN 1ST GEAR NOT WANTING TO GO INTO SECOND BUT WOULD CATCH AS THE RPM GOES DOWN. 2 GEAR WOULD START UNDER THE 1000 RPM AND STRUGGLE TO GET TO THE THIRD GEAR.
PARKING BRAKE (EMERGENCY BRAKE) CALIPER FAILURE REAR RIGHT. 33,062 MILES. WITHIN LAST WEEK OR SO HANDLE IS MUCH EASIER TO PULL UP. NOW, WHEN ENGAGED YOU FEEL LEFT SIDE OF CAR GOES UP AND RIGHT DOES NOT (LOPSIDED). YESTERDAY, I WAS DRIVING ON A LEVEL STREET AND LOUD CLUNKING NOISE CAME FROM RIGHT REAR WHEEL AREA. CALLED CHRYSLER DODGE HOTLINE TODAY AND TOLD IT WAS NOT IN THE BRAKE CALIPER RECALL. I MADE PRIOR COMPLAINTS TO DEALER THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD POP OUT AND ROLL AND IT WAS DISMISSED THAT I WAS NOT PULLING UP BRAKE PROPERLY, BUT I WAS. CHYSLER SAW THERE WERE ONLY A FEW COMPLAINTS (46) REGARDING THE BRAKE CALIPERS FOR MY VIN SO IT IS NOT IN A RECALL.
I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE DART ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 45 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE 3 WEEKS PRIOR, BUT AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT WENT AWAY. I MADE IT TO MY HOUSE PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND WENT TO PUT IT INTO PARK, BUT THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. THE KEY IS NOW STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I TRIED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY, BUT THAT DID NOTHING. ALSO THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS CONSTANTLY BEEN COMING ON PERIODICALLY SINCE I'VE BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2013. YET THE DEALERSHIP AND 2 OTHER MECHANICS HAVE NEVER GIVEN ME A REASON WHY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANTED $150 TO HOOK IT UP TO A DIAGNOSTIC. I DO NOT HAVE IT SO I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.
THE 2013 DODGE DART WITH THE 1.4L TURBO ENGINE WAS A VEHICLE MADE THAT WAS MADE IN MURPHY'S LAW (EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG, WILL GO WRONG). SINCE PURCHASING THIS USED VEHICLE IN 2016 WITH 43,000 MILES ON THE ENGINE I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WAS THE TURBO. I HAD TO HAVE THE TURBO REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY (COMMON ISSUE). THEN, MULTIPLE INSTRUMENT GAUGE FAILURES. NEXT, SEVERAL CLUTCH PROBLEMS (CLUTCH STICKING TO THE FLOOR EVEN WHEN DRIVING). THIS ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED AS THE DEALER DOES NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ISSUE. IF RESEARCHED IT WILL SHOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THOUSANDS HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THEN, NEXT SET OF ISSUES BEGAN WITH MULTIPLE CALIPER SEIZINGS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC OTHER THAN THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DETERMINED THAT THESE PARTS WERE FAULTY AND SUFFERED FROM A RECALL THAT EFFECTED SEVERAL CARS. WHEN CALLING CUSTOMER CARE FOR DODGE. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT INVOLVED WITH THAT SPECIFIC GROUP OF CARS. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET AND THEN SUFFERED THROUGH TWO ADDITIONAL CALIPER FAILURES. ALL REPAIRS OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. THIS IS ALSO ANOTHER COMMON ISSUE. NOW, I AM CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH A VALVE COVER GASKET FAILURE ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT 75,000 MILES (COMMON ISSUE). NOW THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY ON A 5 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY. DODGE CLAIMS TO HAVE STARTED THE WARRANTY IN 2012 ON A 2013 YEAR VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE LISTED AS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS, EXPENSIVE, AND POORLY MADE VEHICLES TO EXIST. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH SEVERAL TIMES. THROUGH DODGE-DART.ORG YOU WILL SEE SEVERAL DANGEROUS AND NEGLIGIBLE CHOICES MADE BY FIAT CHRYSLER AND HOW DANGEROUS THIS CAR CAN BE TO THE PUBLIC. I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD OFFER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 10 YEAR/200,000 MILES.
VEHICLE HAS SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND SENSORS SAY THE SEATBELT IS UNBUCKLED WHEN IT IS NOT. HAS NEVER BEEN IN A COLLISION. NOW I STILL OWE 1 YEAR OF PAYMENTS AND MY ONLY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.
I PARKED THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. AN HOUR LATER, AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND PLACING THE GEAR IN DRIVE, I COULD NOT SWITCH GEARS TO REVERSE OR PARK, AND COULD NOT SHUT THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY. THE GEAR SHIFT WAS STUCK IN DRIVE, AND WOULD NOT DISENGAGE EVEN WHEN THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. MOBILE TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE WAS BROKEN.
DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A STORE AND WAS UNABLE TO PLACE IT IN PARK AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION OR TURN OFF THE CAR, SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED THE SHIFT LINKAGE GROMMET, THAT MAINTAINS CONNECTION HAD FAILED, ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LINKAGE AND REPLACE GROMMET
I HAD MY 2013 DODGE DART FOR 3 YEARS AND FOR A YEAR AND A HALF I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH TIRES TO THE POINT WHERE THEY POPPED WHILE DRIVING, BRAND NEW TIRES, USED TIRES IT DIDN'T MATTER. I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON JUST TIRES. TO TOP IT OFF I CAN'T GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF BECAUSE OF THE BCM AND A LEAK SOMEWHERE. I WENT THROUGH ALL THE PROCEDURE I BROUGHT A NEW GAS CAP, I BROUGHT A NEW SENSOR, I CHECKED THE WIRES NO HOLES AND NOTHING HAS WORKED. I STILL HAVE TWO CODES ON MY VEHICLE STILL AFTER SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY TO GET IT OFF
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND ENGAGED IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED BACK TO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE UNSUCCESSFULLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WERE NOT CONTACTED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.
OVER THREE TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY AUTOSTICK NOT AVAILABLE AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT HAS COME ON. CAR SPUTTERS AND COMES TO A STOP. ONCE IT HAPPENED ON A 23 MILE BRIDGE WHERE I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. DEALERSHIP HAS HAD CAR OVER 5 TIMES AND THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED SAME DAY I GOT MY CAR BACK. I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY CAR BACK *TT *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. AFTER REVERSING AND ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT THE GEAR SHIFTER TO DRIVE, IT FAILED TO SHIFT AND THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY TURN THE GEARS TO MAKE THE VEHICLE OPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (DON DAVIS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP, 1901 N COLLINS ST, ARLINGTON, TX 76011, (888) 746-5421) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A GEAR SHIFT MALFUNCTION AND THE GEAR SHIFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.
MY CAR IS CURRENTLY DRIVABLE HOWEVER I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT I NEED THE OIL PRESSURE MONITOR REPLACED ALONG WITH THE WIRING IN THE STEERING SYSTEM DUE TO OIL DAMAGE FROM THE OIL PRESSURE MONITOR BEING BROKEN. THE RADIO AND REAR VIEW CAMERA ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED. THESE ARE TOO MANY ISSUES FOR A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. APPARENTLY THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS CHANGES COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE BUT I'M CONTINUOUSLY BEING TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS DESPITE ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE THAT HAVE TO DEAL WITH MANUFACTURING ISSUES. THE RADIO STARTED MALFUNCTIONING OVER A YEAR AGO. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS/OIL PRESSURE SWITCH ISSUES HAVE ONLY BEEN HAPPENING APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS. THE REAR VIEW MIRROR STOPPED WORKING TODAY. THE CAR HAS ALSO HAS ISSUES STALL NO, NOT STARTING, AND CUTTING OFF WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW.
'TAKATA RECALL' HAVE HAD MY CAR ALMOST 2 MONTHS NOW AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. DROVE SMOOTH. THIS MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK STILL NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER. NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST TO MAKE ME THINK THERE WAS ONE. THEN WHEN I LEFT TO GET LUNCH AND STUCK IN REVERSE IT JUMPED. I BRUSHED IT OFF THINKING IT WASN'T MAJOR SINCE IT WAS ONE TIME DEAL. THEN AS DRIVING I COULD FEEL THE TRANSMISSION STARTING TO SLIP. SO I HAD TO TURN BACK AND PARK IT AS IS.
THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AT ANY TIME. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL CARS AND THIS HAS NEVER, EVER HAPPENED BEFORE!! I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND INFORMED THEM OF MY ISSUE. THE SERVICE DEPT. ATTENDANT TOLD ME TO HURRY IN SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT. I LEFT WORK EARLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT, YES THERE IS AN ISSUE. HE THEN STATED THAT I WOULD NEED TO WAIT A WEEK TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY CAR TO BE SEEN. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP LAST NIGHT AND DID AN EARLY DROP OFF, SINCE MY APPOINTMENT WAS FOR APRIL 10TH. I CALLED AT 1:00 SINCE I HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM THE DEALERSHIP. MIGUEL THEN STATED THAT THEY HADN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT MY CAR! I ASKED WHAT THE POINT WAS FOR ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND TAKE IT IN EARLY IF MY VEHICLE WAS NOT GOING TO BE "LOOKED" AT? HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THEY AREN'T ABLE TO LOOK AT MY CAR UNTIL THE CARS AHEAD OF MINE WERE FIXED. WHY MAKE AN APPOINTMENT? HE THEN CALLED ME TWO HOURS LATER AND STATED THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY $400 FOR THE SENSOR MODULE TO BE REPLACED. HONESTLY, SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE MAYBE DODGE SHOULD HAVE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 TEENAGERS. IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP UP FINANCIALLY WHEN ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE OCCURING IN A RELATIVELY NEW CAR!!! IN JANUARY I HAD TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP $500 FOR THE DASH MODULE TO BE REPLACED! I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DECEMBER OF 2014 AND IT SEEMS LIKE I HAVE HAD ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER, THE BATTERY, THE MAIN MODULE, THE KEY FOB, THE SEATBELT SYSTEM, TO NAME A FEW. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD REALLY CAUTION THOSE THAT WANT TO BUY A DODGE DART. AFTERALL, IT CAN'T BE THAT GREAT, THEIR OWN COMPANY DOESN'T STAND BEHIND AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE VEHICLE. I GUESS IT'S ABOUT THE MONEY, NOT THE PEOPLE LIVES OR SAFETY.
I HAVE BEEN HAVING ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2013 DART SXT SINCE ABOUT 5 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT HAPPENED WAS THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE COMING OFF - MORE THAN ONCE - AND HAVING TO BE FIXED. I BELIEVE THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES. EACH TIME IT WAS "FIXED" AND THEN THE HANDLE WOULD COME OFF AGAIN. THE LAST TIME THE HANDLE CAME OFF, I WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO NOW I JUST HAVE A PASSENGER DOOR WITH NO HANDLE UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO GET THAT FIXED. AS FAR AS THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD: THE DASH DISPLAY GOES COMPLETELY DARK AND RESETS ITSELF WHEN I AM DRIVING - ESPECIALLY IF THE WEATHER CHANGES; MY TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON RANDOMLY; MY HEAT/AC TURNS ON OR UP WITHOUT ANYONE TOUCHING IT (AT RANDOM) AND I'VE FREQUENTLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE. MY REMOTE START STOPPED WORKING OVER A YEAR AGO, BUT BECAUSE I FIRST HAD MY ELECTRIC WORKED ON AT FRANK FLETCHER DODGE, AND HAD TO TAKE IT BACK A SECOND TIME BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS WEREN'T FIXED, I STOPPED TRYING. ANY OTHER PLACE I'VE TAKEN MY CAR ALWAYS SUGGESTS I GO BACK TO THE PLACE WHERE THE ELECTRICAL WORK STARTED BUT I DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE PROBLEMS GET WORSE EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET FIXED. MY DASH/CLOCK RESETS AT COMPLETE RANDOM. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND HIT POT HOLES ON THE STREET AND BUMPS ON THE HIGHWAY THAT MADE THE WHOLE SYSTEM RESET WHILE I WAS STILL DRIVING. EVEN THIS MONDAY, I STARTED MY CAR AT THE END OF MY WORKDAY ONLY TO FIND THAT MY CLOCK AND AUDIO SETTINGS WERE RESET AGAIN. I WAS TRYING TO KEEP TRACK OF THE SERVICE RECORDS FROM FRANK FLETCHER DODGE AND OTHERS BUT MAY HAVE LOST SOME FROM ALL OF THE TIMES I HAVE HAD TO CALL THEM IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. I HAVE BEEN EXPECTING SOME SORT OF RECALL OR BUY BACK DUE TO THE ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED, BUT NO LUCK.
SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE ON DASH AFTER ABOUT 50 MILES OF DRIVING NORMAL. WON'T SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR UNTIL 4200 RPM DROPS TO 1000 RPM THEN SHIFTS INTO THIRD GEAR EARLY AT 2400 RPM WHEN TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND TRY TO TURN BACK ON IT SAYS AUTOSTICK NOT AVAILABLE. CLEAR ALL CODES WORKS FINE. IT'S BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES WITH NO DIAGNOSIS. THEY HAVE DONE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE RECALL TWICE. EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED THERE HAS BEEN ABOUT A MONTH IN BETWEEN. TENDS TO HAPPEN AFTER ABOUT DRIVING 50 MILES NORMALLY.
AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY CAME ON AND NOW WILL NOT SHUT OFF, CHANGE SPEED, OR RELEASE WIPER FLUID. ANY TIME THE KEY IS ON, THE WIPERS ARE RUNNING. THE WIPERS ARE NOW A DISTRACTION, AS THEY ARE CONSTANTLY IN MOTION. I CAN ALSO NOT TURN THEM ON A HIGHER SETTING WHEN IT IS RAINING HEAVILY.
BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A ATOP SIGN, MY BRAKES COMPLETELY GAVE OUT. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT GOING AT A HIGH SPEED, WHERE I WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO STOP AND PARK MY VEHICLE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP. THEY INFORMED ME MY BRAKE BOOSTERS GAVE OUT. ABOUT A YEAR AFTER THAT, I WAS MAILED A NATION WIDE BRAKE BOOSTERS RECALL ON 2013 DODGE DARTS. WHEN I SENT IN MY RECAL FORM, IT WAS RETURNED TO SENDER. I HAVE YET TO GRT MY REFUND FOR THIS DANGEROUS RECALL THAT WAS BEYOND MY CONTROL.
WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT CAUSING ME TO SHIFT THE GEAR INTO PARK BEFORE STARTING THE VEHICLE BACK UP. BUT AS I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE IT HESITATED TO START AND I HAD TO WAIT A MOMENT MAYBE THREE TO SEVEN MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN ONLY TO HAVE IT STALL OUT AGAIN WHILE MAKING ANOTHER RIGHT HAND TURN. I ALSO NOTICED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHING ON THE DASH AS WELL AS A BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. ALSO, WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WAS BUCKLED, THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH MEANT THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WAS NOT BUCKLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEW CENTURY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP INC (807 BAPTISTO DR, PAOLA, KS 66071, (913) 557-5306) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK, THE TRANSMISSION SWITCHED TO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO THE MOVE THE SHIFTER, BUT THE TRANSMISSION REMAINED IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CENTURY DODGE (13500 VETERANS MEMORIAL PKWY, WENTZVILLE, MO), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A DRIVE THRU, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR LEVER FAILED AND SHE HEARD METAL RUBBING TOGETHER FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED BEFORE AND DURING THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MY CAR CAUGHT FIRE. I NOTICED MY BATTERY LIGHT COME ON ABOUT 1 MILE FROM MY EXIT AND LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER FLUID SPRAYED ONTO MY WINDSHIELD FROM UNDER MY HOOD. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND AS SOON AS I STOPPED, SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT FROM UNDER MY HOOD. I WALKED AWAY FROM THE CAR AND CALLED 911 AT THAT POINT. DURING THE 911 CALL THERE WAS ONLY SMOKE COMING OUT FROM THE ENGINE BAY AREA. RIGHT NEAR THE END OF THE CALL I STARTED TO SEE PLASTIC THAT WAS ON FIRE DRIPPING BELOW THE CAR ONTO THE GRASS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED LESS THAN 5 MINUTES LATER AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE BAY WAS IN FLAMES, 10-20 FEET HIGH. THE FIRE MELTED ALL THE PLASTICS AND MOST OF THE METAL OUTSIDE OF THE FRAME AND ENGINE. EVEN THE STEEL HOOD WAS MELTED AWAY AND GONE. MY CAR HAD A LONG HISTORY OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES DATING BACK A LITTLE OVER A YEAR FROM THE TIME OF THE FIRE. DURING THAT TIME, THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES ENCOUNTERED INCLUDED THE DASH BECOMING COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE AND NO ELECTRONICS WORKING, THE DASH SCREEN REBOOTING WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER NOT WORKING, AND MORE. DURING THE TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED THE PCM, BCM (THREE TIMES), AND THE BATTERY. AT ONE POINT, CHRYSLER ENGINEERING WAS INVOLVED AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG AND SAID THE CAR LOOKED LIKE IT WAS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. ENOUGH PARTS WERE FINALLY REPLACED TO FIX THE CAR, TEMPORARILY, BEFORE MORE ISSUES. A COUPLE MONTHS BEFORE THE FIRE I TRIED TO GET CHRYSLER TO BUY THE CAR BACK BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES BUT IT WAS DENIED. AFTER THE FIRE, CHRYSLER AND KEFFER BOTH DENIED ANY FAULT ON THEIR PART. YET, I HAVE A THIRD PARTY FIRE REPORT SHOWING THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL AND STARTED IN THE AREA OF THE BCM, PCM AND BATTERY. ALL THE PRIOR FAULTED PARTS.
PARKING BRAKE FAILURE AT 42K MILES. PARKING BRAKE ON REAR WHEELS SEEMS TO HAVE STUCK IN CALIPER AND DOES NOT ENGAGE. WHEN PULLING BACK ON PARKING BRAKE HANDLE IN CAR, THERE IS LITTLE OR NO RESISTANCE. DRIVER'S SIDE REAR BRAKE PADS WORE MORE QUICKLY THAN ANY OTHER PAD AND WERE ALMOST DOWN TO METAL ON INSPECTION / REPLACEMENT. ALL OTHER PADS HAD 1/3 TO 1/2 OF THE PADS REMAINING ON OTHER BRAKE ASSEMBLIES. THE VEHICLE IS PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE IN A DRIVEWAY AT RESIDENCE AND BEGAN ROLLING BACK AFTER ENGAGING PARKING BRAKE. VEHICLE NOW MUST BE SET IN REVERSE (STICK SHIFT) AND PARKED ON FLAT GROUND. PARKING BRAKE NO LONGER HAS ANY BRAKING POWER TO HOLD VEHICLE IN PLACE AND PREVENT IT FROM ROLLING. PARKING BRAKE CABLE SEEMS FREE TO MOVE BACK AND FORTH. BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY WITH A ROTATIONAL CAME PARKING BRAKE ENGAGEMENT SEEMS STUCK AND HARD TO MOVE IN CALIPER. NORMAL BRAKING FROM USE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS UNAFFECTED, JUST PARKING BRAKE. ATTACHED IMAGE SHOWS THE CALIPER REMOVED AND THE AREA CIRCLED OF WHERE THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE ATTACHES TO THE CALIPER PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY.
THE VEHICLE ENGINE WILL BUCK AND OR STALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER A COMPLETE FUEL FILL-UP. THE ISSUE CAN LAST ANYWHERE FROM 5-13 MILES AFTER THE FILL UP. AFTERWARDS THE VEHICLE OPERATES NORMALLY. IT OCCURS AFTER EVERY FILL-UP AND STARTED THREE FILL-UPS AGO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY.
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY CAR ARE STUCK IN THE ON POSITION CAUSING THEM TO RUN CONSTANTLY, EVEN THOUGH THE LEVER IS SET TO THE OFF POSITION. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AFTER I USED THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL.
FOR YEARS MY CARS TRACTION LIGHT WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND SOMETIMES MY GEAR WOULD STICK, EVERY TIME THE DEALERSHIP WOULD SAY THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING AND THE LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF. NOW MY CAR KEEPS SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL WELL I'M ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUY 75/80 MPG. NOW IT'S DOING IT CONSTANTLY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2014.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIPERS FAILED TO TURN OFF, AND THE AUTOMATIC START FUNCTION FAILED TO WORK BECAUSE THE TURN SIGNALS AND HORN ACTIVATED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE THE FOB.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.
WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE APPEARED AND THE HE CAR STARTED TO DECREASE SPEED AD WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WHEN PULLED OVER, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN GEARS WERE CHANGED.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF. I STARTED MY CAR. I TURNED ON THE BLINKER TO TURN LEFT AND THE WIPERS CAME ON. THE WIPERS ON LOW. I STOPPED MY CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE WIPERS OFF, BUT THEY WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE SPRAYER WOULD NOT WORK ALSO. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE BCM AND MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. $1000 CHARGE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE SWITCH TO NEUTRAL DRIVE IN REVERSE" MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE AND "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BUD CLARY AUBURN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2925 AUBURN WAY N, AUBURN, WA 98002) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION MODULE AND GEAR SHIFT MODULE WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED THE NEXT DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
THE DASH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT OUT ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, NO WARNING JUST WENT BLACK. THE SPEEDOMETER, TACH, GAS GAUGE, ENGINE LITE, TIRE PRESSURE OIL INDICATOR NOTHING WORKS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE QUOTE FOR REPAIR IS 1500.00

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
WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT IS VERY HESITANT TO GO, THEN IT WILL OVER REV AND THE RPMS WILL GO UP BUT IT WILL NOT GO ANY FASTER. IT WILL ONLY HAPPEN IT SECOND AND THIRD GEAR
AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON STATING AIR BAG MAINTENANCE REQUIRED. BLINKS ON AND OFF LONGS CAR IS STARTED. BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW.
START CAR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A MESSAGE SAYS NO GEAR AVAILABLE SHIFT TO NEUTRAL THEN REVERSE OR DRIVE. CAR WON'T GO INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE.
I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE DEALER IN 2013 AND EVERY SO OFTEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF. WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTEE THE REPLACED THE AIR BAGS AND IT HELPED BUT THE LIGHT GOES ON ALL THE TIME. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. SOME SAY ITS CONNECTED TO AN ISSUE WITH WIRES IN THE A OR B PILLAR. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING SINCE ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTEE.
MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS RUN CONSTANTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON. THE WIPERS DO NOT ENGAGE WHILE ON REMOTE START. I WENT INTO THE UNCONNECTED AND TURNED OFF RAIN SENSING MODULE. THE WIPERS CONTINUED TO RUN AT A SLOW SPEED. I USED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LEVER TO TURN OFF THE WIPERS. HOWEVER, MY WIPERS CONTINUED TO RUN NO MATTER WHAT INTERVAL I USED. MY CAR WILL NOT DISPENSE WASHER FLUID WITH THE USE OF THE LEVER. I DID CHECK TO ENSURE WASHER FLUID TANK IS FILLED WITH WASHER FLUID RECOMMENDED FOR MY VEHICLE.
2013 DODGE DART WITH 2 LITER MOTOR AUTO TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WON'T START. ON THE SHIFTER ALL LETTERS ON GEAR INDICATOR SHOWS RED (P,R,N,D) ENGINE LIGHT ON. CAR WILL. IT START IN ANY GEAR. THIS IS THE THIRD SHIFTER ASSEMBLY I HAD TO PURCHASE TO FIX THE PROBLEM . VEHICAL WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT WOULDN'T START , WHEN IT WAS RUNNING THE GEAR INDICATOR LIGHT WENT RED CAR SHIFTED HARD. ALSO WOULDN'T INDICAT WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN ON THE DASH. NOW CAR WON'T START AT ALL.
THIS IS A BREIF SUMMARY. THERE'S MORE DETAILS CONCERNING THIS CAR THAT ROOM HERE DOESN'T PROVIDE. THE DUAL DRY CLUTCH SHIFTING FAILURES AND HILL START ASSIST ARE ADDRESSED HERE: THE CAR DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY MOVE FORWARD WHEN YOU APPLY THE THROTTLE IT CAN TAKE FROM 2-4 SECONDS TO GO FORWARD WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS. NOT 'TURBO LAG'. THAT ADDS TO THE TIME TO GO FORWARD. PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR CHANGING LANES CAN GET YOU KILLED BECAUSE IT DELAYS THROTTLE RESPONSE UNTIL THE COMPUTER DECIDES TO GO. SOMETIMES TURBO, SOMETIMES NOT AT THE SAME THROTTLE POSITION. WHEN COMING OFF THE BRAKES THEN PRESSING THE THROTTLE, DELAY AND SOMETIMES INAPPROPRIATE GEAR SELECTION CAUSES ERRATIC DRIVING BEHAVIOR. IN TURNS THE CAR COMES OUT OF GEAR ON ITS OWN WITH NO INDICATION. STEP ON THE GAS AND THE ENGINE REVS HIGH IN NEUTRAL. NOW IT'S COASTING THROUGH THE TURN BEFORE IT WILL ENGAGE IN [A] GEAR. YOU CAN SELDOM 'DRIVE THROUGH A TURN'. THIS HAPPENS AROUND A NORMAL STREET CORNERS, AND IN SWEEPING TURNS WHEN YOU'RE TRAVELING AT 40 MPH OUT OF GEAR. ENGAGING GEARS AT THIS POINT IS UNPREDICTABLE AS TO WHICH GEAR THE CAR WILL SELECT. THE 'HILL START ASSIST' (HSA) BRAKING PROGRAM; WHEN STOPPED POINTING UPHILL, THIS 'FEATURE' IS INTENDED TO HOLD THE BRAKES ON FOR 3 SECONDS PREVENTING THE CAR FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDDLE TO THE GAS PEDDLE. IF THE HSA FAILS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHEN, OR IF, THE CLUTCH ENGAGES INTO GEAR. THE HSA PROGRAM IN THIS CAR RANDOMLY FAILS TO HOLD ON A HILL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE DDC ALSO FAILS TO ENGAGE IN GEAR. THE CAR TOTALLY FAILS TO MOVE FORWARD AND ROLLS BACKWARDS REVVING IN NEUTRAL TOWARD THE CARS COMING UP BEHIND YOU. YOU HAVE PRESSED THE GAS TO GO FORWARD AND NOW YOU'RE GOING BACKWARD REVVING IN NEUTRAL. I NOW REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. IT WILL SIT UNUSED UNTIL RESOLUTION OF THIS ISSUE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE CRUSHED. *JS
DRIVING A MANUAL.. MY REVERSE CABLE LOCKOUT BROKE, I WENT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AN IT SHOWS UP ON THEIR COMPUTER OF WHAT I NEED. BUT YOU CAN NOT BUY IT. THEY SAY ITS A AFTER MARKET PRODUCT. THEN WHEN I WENT TO ABOUT EVERY AUTO PARTS STORE. THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. AN IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT BASICALLY LOOKS LIKE A BICYCLE BRAKE CABLE REGARDLESS I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR. SO I HAVE A ZIP TIE DOWN WHERE MY SHIFTER IS HOLDING THE LOCK OUT WIDE OPEN. I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO BE IN REVERSE WHEN I NEED TO BE IN 1ST. I NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO GO TO FIX THIS ISSUE OR IF DODGE IS GOING TO FINALLY ADMIT THAT ITS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AS IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. IF AND WHEN I WANT TO SALE MY CAR. HOW IS THIS GONNA BE POSSIBLE. IT LOWERS THE VALUE RIGHT NOW! WHEN THIS HAPPENED IT WAS JUNE 17 2017 AT A GAS STATION IN PA NEEDLESS TO SAY, WHEN I LIVE IN AL. . I WENT TO BACK OUT AN WHEN I LIFTED UP ON THE KNOB. I HAD NOTHING.. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A 3 CAR COLLISION ON A CITY HIGHWAY. MY VEHICLE WAS IMPACTED PRETTY BADLY AND SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT DID NOT! I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ABOUT A MONTH AGO DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION.
VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH PROJECTOR-STYLE HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE 3 MAJOR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS STYLE OF HEADLIGHT. 1) THE PERFORMANCE IS SUBSTANDARD WHEN USED IN HIGH-BEAM MODE. THE WIDTH OF LIGHT BEAM IS TOO NARROW, I.E. TOO MUCH LIGHT IS FOCUSED STRAIGHT AHEAD AND NOT ENOUGH IS PROJECTED ON SHOULDERS & AREA ADJACENT TO ROADWAY MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE ON CURVED ROADS. THIS IS DUE TO A DESIGN COMPROMISE RESULTING FROM USING THE SAME FOCUSING LENS ON LOW-BEAM OPERATION. 2)LIGHTING IS REDUCED WHEN USED IN LOW-BEAM MODE. THE SHUTTER THAT BLOCKS UPPER PORTION OF THE BEAM REDUCES THE QUANTITY OF LIGHT CAST ON ROADWAY. 3) SAFETY HAZARD IS CREATED FOR OTHER VEHICLES WHEN PROJECTOR-STYLE HEADLIGHTS APPROACH OR FOLLOW ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE INTENSITY OF THE LIGHT BEAM IS VERY HIGH CAUSING OTHER MOTORISTS TO BE BLINDED WHEN A PROJECTOR-STYLE HEADLIGHT SHINES DIRECTLY INTO THE EYES OF ANOTHER MOTORIST. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHEN DRIVING ON HILLS, AROUND CURVES, AND WHEN BEING APPROACHED OR FOLLOWING A VEHICLE OF A DIFFERENT HEIGHT. (SEDANS BEING LOWER THAN SUVS OR LIGHT TRUCKS) MY COMPLAINTS ARE NOT LIMITED TO MY VEHICLE ALONE, BUT ARE DIRECTED TO ALL VEHICLES USING PROJECTOR-STYLE HEADLIGHTS. WHILE PROJECTOR-STYLE HEADLIGHTS HAVE GOOD VERTICAL CUT-OFF, THE ADVANTAGE IS LOST BY THE OTHER DEFICIENCIES. PLUS, LOOKING DIRECTLY AT A REFLECTOR-STYLE HEADLIGHT DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME BLINDING EFFECT EXPERIENCED BY LOOKING AT PROJECTOR-STYLE LIGHTS. THE RESULT IS NO REAL ADVANTAGE IS OBTAINED IN THIS AREA. IN MY OPINION, THE OLDER, REFLECTOR-STYLE HEADLIGHTS ARE MORE EFFECTIVE IN ILLUMINATING THE ROADWAY, AND DO NOT HAVE THE BLINDING GLARE OF PROJECTOR-STYLE HEADLIGHTS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE PROJECTOR-STYLE HEADLIGHTS UNDERGO REDESIGN TO ELIMINATE THE GLARE PROBLEMS AND IMPROVE ROADWAY ILLUMINATION. IF THAT IS NOT TECHNICALLY POSSIBLE, THEN THEY SHOULD BE ELIMINATED.
I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE A RECALL FIXED ON MY CAR. WHEN I GOT MY CSR BACK I LOOKED OVER THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND LINES AND THE ONLY THING THAT WAS CHANGED WAS THE SUPPLY HOSE. AFTER OIL HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY FOUND. YOU CAN SEE THE OIL STILL SOAKED IN PLACES. THE TECH PUT ON THE INVOICE THAT SHE CHANGED THE BOOSTER BUT YET THE BOOSTER WAS UNTOUCHED WITH FACTORY PAINT MARKS STILL IN TACKED. I LEFT MY CAR THERE AND WENT IN THE NEXT DAY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND THEY TRIED SAYING IT WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING. I DONT SEE HOW SAYING YOU CHANGED A PART WHEN YOU DIDN'T IS A MISUNDERSTANDING. MI WAS COMPENSATED A FREE DETAIL THAT NEVER EXPIRES IN ORDER FOR MY BOYFRIEND TO TAKE DOWN HIS BAD REVIEW. SO THEY KEEP THE CSR ANOTHER NIGHT AND WHEN I GO TO PICK UP MY CAR I WANTED TO CHECK IT ALONG WITH A MECHANIC FROM A DIFFERENT BUSINESS. AT THIS TIME MY HOOD WILL NOT CLOSE DUE TO A BENT OR SNAPPED HOOD CABLE. THE TECH DID NOT DROP THE TRANSMISSION AND FORCED THE BOOSFER IN AND BOUND UP MY HOOD CABLE IN THE PROCESS. THE PUMP AND MASTER CYLINDER HACE STILL YET TO BE REPLACED AS THE R63 RECALL REQUIRES IF ENGINE OIL IS FOUND. WHAT MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE AMD LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO PKAY WITH MY LIFE AND SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS THEY NEVER TESTED THE PARTS AFTER THEY INSTALLED THEM. THEY LIED ON BOTH INVOICES. EACH ONE SAYS THE CAR CAME IN AT 77491 MILES AND LEFT AT 77493 MILES AND I NEVERDROVE TGE CAR OFF THE LOT OR IN BECAUSE I DIDNT KNOW IF THE BRAKES WORKED. HOW CAN A CAR HAVE THE SAME MILES ON 2 DIFFERENT MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENTS IF THE PARTS WERE TESTED AFTER INSTALLATION? MY ODOMETER READ 77491. SAME AS WHEN I FIRST DROPED IT OFF ALMOST A WEEK AGO. SO EITHER THEY TURNED BACK A DIGITAL ODOMETER OR THEY NEVER TESTED THE PARTS THEY FORCED IN. I DONT KNOW IF THEY DAMAGED ANYTHING ELSE BY FORCING THE BOOSTE BUT I DOMT LIKE THE IDEA OF OTHERS PUTTING MY LIFR IN DANGER.
ON THE FIRST DRIVE OF THE DAY WITHIN THE FIRST MILE THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE STARTER GRINDS WHEN TRYING TO RESTART AND AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES WILL TURNOVER AND THEN DRIVES FINE. HAS OCCURRED SIX TIMES MOST RECENTLY SAT 11-4 AFTER TURNING LEFT ON A LEVEL SURFACE THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND COASTED TO A STOP. TOOK THREE TRIES TO RESTART AND THEN DROVE FINE.
PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE NOR DISENGAGE.
TAKATA RECALL, THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN APPROXIMATELY 5 TIMES BACK TO DEALER BECAUSE AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON 2014 THRU 2016. DEALER ALWAYS SAID NOTHING WRONG (I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FROM DEALER STATING SO. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT NOVEMBER 7, 2017 HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER AIR BAGS NEVER DEPOLOYED. MY DAUGHTER HAS A CONCUSSION THAT SHE IS STILL UNDER CARE FOR AND VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED. MY DAUGHTER WAS ON A HIGHWAY THAT WAS UNDER CONSTUCTION ONLY ONE LANE OPEN, TRACTOR TRAILER DID NOT STOP AND SMASHED HER INTO CEMENT BARRIER. *TT *CN

IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS, MY POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING 5 TIMES. AT FIRST I COULD PULL OVER TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT COMES BACK ON. THE LAST TIME WAS 2 DAYS AGO AND NOW POWER STEERING WILL NOT COME BACK ON AT ALL. THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO WARNING LIGHTS ON INDICATING THE PROBLEM AND I COULD NOT PULL ANY ERROR CODES WITH MY SCANNER. EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING AROUND 65-75 MPH.
DODGE DART 2013 ON AUGUST 2015 AFTER THE FIRST FLOOD IN CLARENDON COUNTY BY THE CLARENDON LANDFIELD THERE WAS A DEEP HOLD IN THE PAVEMENT THAT WASN'T NOTABLE BECAUSE IT WAS AFTER 8:30 PM VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE FRONT TIRES STRUTS OR SHOCKS, BEEN MAKING A SOUND WHENEVER TURNING THE TIRES EVERY SINCE THAT INCIDENT TOOK PLACE. I'VE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO CONTACT THE COUNTY BUT GOT NO RESPONSE. I WAS ALWAYS PUT ON HOLD FOR AN HOUR OR MORE SO I JUST STOP TRYING. I WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT ON A HIGHWAY NEAR THE CLARENDON COUNTY LANDFIELD. ON 9/07/2013 MY CAR GEAR SHIFT LINKAGE CAME APART WITH NO WARNING ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE WITH THE LINK BEING BROKEN I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR CAN'T SHIFT TO ANY OTHER GEAR.
IT WAS SEPTEMBER 23RD AROUND 11PM, I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, UPON TURNING INTO THE EXIT LANE MY CAR HIT SOME FORM OF POTHOLE WHICH MADE MY TOUCH SCREEN AND DASHBOARD TURN OFF AND BACK ON. I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH MY TOUCH SCREEN SHUTTING OFF AND BACK ON IN THE PAST, ONCE I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY IT WORKED FINE UNTIL THAT DAY, THEN IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN SO BEFORE ALL OF THIS I DID SET UP A CAR APPOINTMENT FOR IT TO GET CHECKED OUT 2 DAYS EARLIER. SO ANYWAY, AS I'M DRIVING, I ARRIVE TO MY DESTINATION. I SAT IN THE CAR FOR A WHILE ON MY PHONE AND DECIDED TO TURN ON MY AIR. WHEN THE AIR CAME OUT IT SMELLED VERY SMOKEY. SO I TURNED IT OFF AND ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER, A VERY LIGHT MIST BEGAN TO COME OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE HOOD. SO I DECIDED TO JUST HEAD HOME INSTEAD BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO BE STUCK SOMEWHERE AND I NOT HAVE A RIDE HOME, MY HOUSE WASN'T THAT FAR FROM MY LOCATION. SO THE FURTHER I'M DRIVING I NOTICED THE SMOKE BEGAN TO PICK UP A BIT SO I CUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I'M ABOUT 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AT THE POINT. SO I'M DRIVING DOWN THE RAMP TO MERGE INTO THE HIGHWAY AND THE SMOKE GOT SO THICK TO WHERE I COULD NO LONGER SEE SO I'M PUSHING DOWN THE BREAKS TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AND FIND MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT THEN MY CAR LOCKS UP AND SHUTS DOWN. I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL, GAS OR BREAK OR ANYTHING. WHEN I COULD GLIMPSE THROUGH THE SMOKE I NOTICED A FIRE WAS COMING FROM MY HOOD, SO INTO MOVING TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR I HOPPED OUT OF MY CAR AND IT ROLLED A LITTLE OVER 100 FEET TO ALMOST THE YELLOW LINE (IT WAS STILL BLOCKING ONE LANE). WITNESSES CALLED THE COPS AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT THE FLAMES OUT.I REACHED OUT TO MY CAR COMPANY AND THEY SAID SINCE MY CAR WASN'T INSURED, THAT BASICALLY I'M OUT OF LUCK. I HAVE SCRATCHES AND SCARS STILL FROM THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO ## VIN PASSED ## DODGE DART 2013 ##

WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC WITH MY FAMILY THE CAR SUDDENLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND WILL NOT COME OUT OF NEUTRAL I READ ON THE INTERNET THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND IT EXPLAINS WITH THE EXPLANATION GIVEN FOR THE PROBLEM THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR BUT WHEN I CALLED DODGE/CHRYSLER MY VIN WAS NOT ON THE RECALL BUT I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER I WAS ONLY 20 YARDS FROM THE RAILROAD TRACKS LUCKILY ONE WAS ALREADY GOING BY OR THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE TRACKS ANY HELP WITH THIS SITUATION WOULD BE HELPFUL THANKS
2013 DODGE DART. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE CLUTCH SYSTEM. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE CLUTCH STUCK TO THE FLOOR. ALSO, THE TURBO CHARGER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AN O-RING MELTED WHICH CAUSED OIL TO LEAK ONTO ALL OF THE SPARK PLUG TUBES AND DESTROYED THE OIL SEPARATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED. UPDATED 09/25/2017*JS
BEFORE MOVING FROM NEW MEXICO TO MINNESOTA WE HAD OUR 2013 DODGE DART'S OIL CHANGE AND CAR CHECKED OVER BY A DODGE AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING ON SD HWY 212 UP A HILL SHIFTING DOWN TO 5TH THE CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. SO I FORCED IT INTO 5TH BEFORE IT ROLLED DOWN A SHARP HILL. (PLEASE NOTE DODGE SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS). DODGE CLAIM THAT CLUTCHES JUST GO OUT LIKE THIS WITH OUT ANY WARNING AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I HAVE OWNED MANY MANUAL CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY CLUTCHES WEAR OUT. MY CAR ONLY HAD $40,000 MILES. I LEFT THE CAR BEHIND IN NORTH DAKOTA BECAUSE WE WERE MOVING TO MINNESOTA. THEY INFORMED US IT WOULD BE OVER A WEEK TO FIX. I WILL HAVE TO DRIVE BACK OVER 6HOURS (12 HOURS TOTAL TRIP) AND PAY FOR A NEW CLUTCH THAT IS PROBABLY JUST AS BAD. I THINK THAT THE CLUTCH GOING OUT WITH OUT WARNING IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD.
CAR JUMP IN GEAR WHILE DRIVING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR FAILED TO SHIFT FROM THE DRIVE TO THE PARK WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION FAILED TO BE REMOVED.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS STAYING ON SAYING SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM. ALSO WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSANGER SEAT THE SEATBELT LIGHT IS STAYING ON WHILE THEY'RE WEARING THE SEATBELT. BOTH LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON AT THE SAME TIME. IT STARTED HAPPENING WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS ON AND IN PARK.
AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND STAYS ON. SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON AND STAYS ON AND DINGS EVEN WHEN BOTH BELTS ARE ON IN FRONT SEAT. OVER 6K PEOPLE ON FORUMS HAVE SAME PROBLEM!
PARKED WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AFTER TAKING OFF.
THE BATTERY HAS TO BE REPLACED EVERY YEAR. THE BRAKES ARE HARD AND HAS A VACUUM LEAK NOISE . THE RADIO, CD, BLUETOOTH DOES NOT WORK. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK ALL THE TIME AND WHEN IT DOES IT WILL STICK ON. THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT WORK ALL THE TIME. THE FRONT 12V DC DOES NOT WORK. DODGE WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS GONE, BUT THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2012. IS THERE SOME WAY I CAN GET DODGE TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY. THERE IS A LOT OF DODGE DART OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AND DODGE WON'T RECALL OR FIX THE PROBLEMS.
THE CLUTCH PEDAL, WHEN PRESSED, STAYS ON THE FLOOR. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR, IN ANY STAGE OF DRIVING WHETHER IT BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR WITH NO CLUTCH FOR 5 DAYS NOW, HOPING THAT THE PRESSURE WOULD COME BACK(AS THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED
I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART WITH 52,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING AND WENT TO PASS A CAR AND MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE PASSING THEN SLAMMED BACK INTO DRIVE. IT SHIFTED SO HARD I THOUGHT I HIT SOMETHING. IT HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY DOING THIS SINCE THEN. THE RPM WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN THEN REVED UP TO 6 WHEN IT FINALLY WENT INTO DRIVE ON ITS OWN. I CAN MANUALLY SHIFT THE CAR AND I HAVEN'T NOTICED ANYTHING BUT QHEN AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTING IT IS NOT DOING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO ACTIVATE. THE CONTACT HAD TO REMOVE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES TO DISENGAGE THE SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.
I PARALLELED PARK THE NIGHT BEFORE AND HAD NO PROBLEMS. THE NEXT MORNING I CAME OUT TO GO TO WORK GOT IN MY CAR STARTED IT LET IT WARM UP THEN PROCEEDED TO PUT IT IN A REVERSE TO BACK OUT, MY CAR IS MANUAL SO WHEN I LIFTED THE RING TO PUT IN REVERSE GEAR IT WENT IN PERFECTLY I GAVE IT A LITTLE GAS AND KICKED IT OUT OF GEAR I ATTEMPTED TO PUT IT BACK IN REVERSE BUT IT WOULDN'T AND JUST KEPT GOING IN FIRST GEAR . SO APPARENTLY IT'S CALLED A REVERSE LOCKOUT CABLE (BASICALLY A BICYCLE BRAKE WIRE) WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN CUT BY A PLASTIC CONNECTOR THAT GOT A SHARP EDGE OVERTIME.
WHEN IN MOTION, WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE SEATBELT SIGNAL, PASSENGER AIRBAG SIGNAL, AS WELL AS DIGITAL DISPLAY WARNING ABOUT SEATBELT AND AIRBAG SYSTEMS ARE ALL ON AND ALERTING US. IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR, THE CAR WOULD NOT DEPLOY PASSENGER AIRBAG DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION.
WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE BECAME STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND WON'T TURN OFF
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO DRIVE AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCLERATE AND THE GEAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN INTO DRIVE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ZIMMER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 1086 BURLINGTON PIKE, FLORENCE, KY 41042, (859) 525-1344) WHERE NO DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE CODE WAS FOUND.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR A RIDE ALONG. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.
THIS CAR HAS GONE THROUGH CYLINDERS, SPARK PLUGS, 3 BATTERIES INCLUDING THE FACTORY ONE, THROTTLE CONTROL COMPUTER ALL IN LESS THAN 50K MILES. NEVER GETS MORE THAN 10K MILES BEFORE THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE, QUITE POSSIBLE THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED AND THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND AFTER READING FORUM AFTER FORUM OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUES EXPERIENCED BY HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS AND DEALER RESPONSES THAT THERE WAS GOOD REASON TO DISCONTINUE THE PRODUCTION OF THIS MODEL AND THE MODEL YEARS THEREAFTER. UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE ALL STUCK WITH PAYMENTS ON CARS THAT PUT US AT SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK BECAUSE OF FREQUENT AND RANDOM STALL OUTS, INCLUDING ONE THAT HAPPENED TO MYSELF AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AND ANOTHER ON A DARK DESOLATE COUNTRY ROAD, AND FCA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT OTHER THAN OFFER A 5% DISCOUNT ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, FOR WHICH COMPARABLE SIZE AND PRICE NO LONGER EXISTS WITHIN THE BRAND. THIS CAR IS THE DEFINITION OF A LEMON, WE BOUGHT IT CERTIFIED USED FROM DODGE AFTER THE CAR HAD A SINGLE OWNER AND WITH NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR THE BRAND OFFERING ANY SORT OF SIGNIFICANT ASSISTANCE IN REMEDYING THIS PRODUCT DEFECT OTHER THAN REPAIRS WITHIN WARRANTY THAT KEEP US ON THE ROAD FOR ANOTHER MONTH BEFORE THE NEXT BREAKDOWN, WE ARE FORCED TO PAY FOR AND DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT PUTS OUR FAMILY AT RISK EVEN MORE THAN IN GENERAL. UNBELIEVABLE.
HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY TWICE IN FOUR YEARS AND NOW NONE OF THE ELECTRONICS ARE WORKING IN THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR. IT WAS BOUGHT BRAND WITH NO OTHER OWNER! THIS IS VERY COSTLY AND UNFAIR TO BE A NEW VEHICLE.
THE CAR IS TURNED OFF A TICKING SOUND CONTINUES GO OFF WITH THE BACK LIGHTS FLASHING NO KEYS IN CAR FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED TO VERY A SAFE TOW AND MY CAR SITS THERE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WON'T START WINDOWS DOWN AND IT'S A HAZARD TO TOW
TAKATA RECALL WHILE MY VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON STREET OR HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE BEGINS TO JERK. ALSO WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR HAVING TO USE MY BRAKES BEFORE MAKING OR COMING TO A TURN I HAVE TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP OR TO SLOW DOWN, WHEN DOING THAT MY CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE.
WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION, THE ENGINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE WHEELS AND I WAS ALMOST BROADSIDED BY AN ONCOMING CAR. THE ENGINE SEEMED TO BE SHIFTING AT HIGHER RPMS AND SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL SEVERAL TIMES, THEN IT STALLED IN A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY (11 AUG 2017) AND THE DEALER CLEARED THE CODES, ROAD TESTED IT AND TOLD ME I WAS NOT DRIVING PROPERLY OR MAYBE THE FLUID GOT TOO HOT. I THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, AND I THINK IT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND I HAVE A SIX YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THAT I THINK SHOULD NOT RIDE IN THE VEHICLE. IF THE CAR THAT SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SO REACTIVE AND MY DAUGHTER HAD BEEN WITH ME, IT MAY HAVE RESULTED IN A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE CAR (LUSTINE CHRYSLER-JEEP-DODGE-RAM IN WOODBRIDGE, VA) IS NOT HELPFUL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,000.
AT 28450 MILES, TRANSMISSION WHICH IS A DCCT TYPE FAILED. CAR INITIALLY REFUSED TO START AFTER MAKING A STOP HAVING BEEN DRIVE JUST A 1/2 MILE. TOOK 4-5 ATTEMPTS TO START, BUT VEHICLE SHOOK ON STARTING, AND CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED. AFTER DRIVING 14 MILE, THERE WAS A STRONG BURNING SMELL FROM CAR SIMILAR TO CLUTCH OR BRAKE BURNING. THE VEHICLE STARTED FOR RETURN TRIP TO RESIDENCE, BUT WAS SLUGGISH ON ROADWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HAD PRONOUNCED BURNING SMELL AGAIN AFTER RETURN HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEARBY DODGE DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND OWNER HAS OBTAINED LOANER AT DODGE EXPENSE UNTIL REPAIRS ARE COMPLETE.
TAKATA RECALL: THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR INCLUDING LOSS OF POWER, RAPID SHIFTING, TRANSMISSION FAILURE, STALLING, AND OVERHEATING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT HAVE COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES, THE TCS AND PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AND OFF AT THE SAME TIME. THIS CAR HAS HAD 2 PCM'S REPLACED, 4 TCM'S REPLACED, 2 TRANSMISSIONS (THE LAST ONE REPLACED LESS THAN ONE WEEK AGO), 2 SETS OF SPARK PLUGS AND COILS REPLACED, TIMING BELT, SERPENTINE, AND WATER PUMP REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION, SERPENTINE, TIMING BELT, AND WATER PUMP WERE ALL REPLACED ON 7/21/17 AND NOW THE CAR IS PRESENTING WITH THE SAME ISSUES. THESE PROBLEMS STARTED WITH THE FIRST OWNER (AND WERE NOT REPORTED TO ME) ON 8/6/13 AND STARTED WITH ME ON 4/16/15. AS OF 8/2/17 I HAVE THE SAME WHINING NOISE IN THE CAR (WHICH HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS THE TRANSMISSION MULTIPLE TIMES NOW), THE TRANSMISSION IS UNABLE TO SHIFT OR LAGS OR SHIFTS TOO QUICKLY, I CAN FLOOR THE GAS PEDDLE AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE, WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR SURGES FORWARD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN I HAVE DRIVEN IT AND DODGE KEEPS REPAIRING IT AND THOSE REPAIRS LAST LESS THAT ONE MONTH AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND DODGE HAS YET TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. THE CAR IS SET TO BE BACK IN THE SHOP THIS WEEK AND IT IS CURRENTLY NOT DRIVABLE AND A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF ANYONE OR ANYTHING DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE.

INTERMITTENT BATTERY LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF. I AM ON BATTERY NUMBER THREE AND MY SECOND ALTERNATOR AND NOBODY CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. AS I WAS DRIVING, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, THEN THE SERVICE ABS, THEN THE AC WENT OFF, AND THEN THE SERVICE POWER STEERING CAME ON. THIS CAUSED ME TO LOSE MY POWER STEERING WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTICS, ALL STATING THAT THE BATTERY WAS TESTING FINE, ALONG WITH THE ALTERNATOR AND STARTER. AFTER INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR, BATTERY LIGHT STILL INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE ALTERNATOR IS READING AROUND 6V AND WHEN IT IS OFF, IT IS READING BETWEEN 13-14V. WHENEVER THE LIGHT COMES ON, THERE IS THE SOUND OF A RELAY OR SOMETHING HAPPENING. NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO. THE VEHICLE IS 4 YEARS OLD AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE OR HAVE MY CHILDREN IN IT. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE INTERMITTENT BATTERY LIGHT AND ISSUES ASSOCIATED, SO I DO NOT THINK THAT THERE IS WIRING DAMAGE TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE VEHICLES.

"ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE TO PREVENT ROLLING" ALERT COMES ON AFTER ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE ALERT SUBSEQUENTLY COMES ON EVERY TIME THE CAR STOPS AFTER THIS INITIAL PHASE. ON OCCASIONAL, WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP AND IS PUT INTO "PARK" AND THE ALERT COMES ON, IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE THE CAR MUST BE TURNED OFF AND ALLOWED TO SIT FOR AT LEAST 10-15 SECONDS, RESTARTED, AND WILL THEN ALLOW YOU TO SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR. THE ALERT WILL THEN AGAIN COME ON WHENEVER THE CAR IS BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP.
CAR SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH GEAR SHIFTER IS IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. YOU HAVE TO SHIFT BACK INTO PARK SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND TURN BACK ON. SO FAR HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. AND HAS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN TURNING CAR ON. HAPPENS SPORADICALLY, BUT INCREASING FREQUENCY
I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART WITH 75,000 MILES ON IT. ON 7/14/17 WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND REMAINED IN NEUTRAL, WHICH CAUSED A LOST OF CONTROL OF THE TRANSMISSION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE OPERATED AS THE TRANSMISSION IS REMAINED STUCK IN NEUTRAL. THIS INCIDENT COULD EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE VEHICLE OF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY.
MY WIFE DIANA PURCHASED THIS CAR ON JUNE 19 2017, FROM A DEALERSHIP HYUNDAI OF GARDEN GROVE CA. A MONTH AFTERWARD WE TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE, SINCE THIS DODGE DART IS A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THE CLUTCH NEEDS TO BE PRESSED TO START THE ENGINE. WHEN I DID THAT, THE CLUTCH WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE. WE TOOK IT TO GLEEN E THOMAS DODGE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA. THEY KEEP THE CAR FOR A FULL 7 DAYS AND COULDN'T FIXED IT. AFTER THAT THE PROBLEM OF THE STICKING CLUTCH REMAINS UNTIL NOW, GETTING WORSE AS THE TIME GOES BY. EVERY WEEK THE ISSUE COMES UP. WE TOOK THE CAR AGAIN TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, THIS TIME WAS CERRITOS DODGE AND THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR ANOTHER WEEK. CLUTCH HASN'T BEEN FIXED. THE STICKING CLUTCH HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY WEEK IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS, WE HAVE TO PULL IT BACK WITH OUR HANDS OR FEET, THEN WE PUMP THE CLUTCH UNTIL IT WORKS AGAIN.

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART AND AFTER BACKING IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY IT WAS STUCK IN REVERSE. WE COULDN'T TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT. AFTER WORKING WITH IT MY HUSBAND FINALLY GOT IT TO GO INTO PARK, TURNED THE KEY OFF AND REMOVED IT. NOW IT IS SITTING IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE ALMOST ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET.
I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE. WHEN I WENT TO SHIFT THE CAR BACK INTO PARK, THE SHIFTER MOVED, BUT THE CAR STAYED IN REVERSE.

WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AS IT IS NOT CHARGING FULLY. REAR BRAKES ARE NOT WEARING PROPERLY.. CAR MILEAGE 35,500.. VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS CAR'S PERFORMANCE.
THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THEN I HAVE HAD TWO BRAND NEW STARTERS PUT INTO MY CAR AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND BOTH TIMES THE STARTERS WERE BURNED TO A CRISP IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS. NOW I'M HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON
CAR GETS TO ABOUT 190 DEGREES AND THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE APPEARS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND WILL NOT COME OUT OF FIRST GEAR. ONCE CAR IS SHUT OFF IT WILL NOT TURN ON FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR EVEN AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. AFTER 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR CAR WILL START AND GO ABOUT 15 MILES AND THEN BACK INTO LIMP MODE AND WILL NOT COME OUT OF FIRST GEAR AGAIN. THIS IS VERY HASSARDIST

(THEY SAID THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN AND THE CAR WAS SAFE) WELL THE CLUTCH DID FAIL ON THE WAY TO VEGAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING 65MPH AGAIN I LOST CONTROL OF THE GEARS AND THE CLUTCH STUCK TO THE FLOOR. CHRYSLER TOLD ME IT WAS A WORN OUT CLUTCH AND THEY WOULDN'T REPLACE THE PARTS OR BUY BACK THE CAR UNDER LEMON LAW. I HAD AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC LOOK AT THE CAR IN GLENDORA CA. HE SAID IT'S NOT A WORN OUT CLUTCH, BUT THE CLUTCH HAS BROKEN DUE TO A LEAKING SLAVE CYLINDER LEAKING OVER THE COMPONENTS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. AND HAS HAD VARIOUS COURT CASES AGAINST THEM DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE CAR IS A SO UNSAFE AND A TIME BOMB. I HAVE JUST HAD A NEW BORN BABY AND DO NOT WANT HER ANYWHERE NEAR THIS CAR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
THERE ARE TWO ISSUES THAT I HAVE RETURNED MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS MULTIPLE TIMES AND PAID SIGNIFICANTLY FOR THE NON-REPAIR. THE FIRST IS THE CENTERSTACK DISPLAY. THE DISPLAY WILL INTERMITTENTLY GO BLANK TYPICALLY FOLLOWING A LEFT HAND TURN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TWICE FOR THIS CONDITION AND STILL DISPLAYS THE FAILURE. THE SECOND IS THE TRANSMISSION. BASED ON A FCA RECALL, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A TRANSMISSION REFLASH! AT THAT POINT THERE HAD NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING. SINCE THAT EVENT HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER PERFORMED AS EXPECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO LEARN THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION MODULE SO THAT WAS REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PROBLEM IS NOW WORSE. THE VEHICLE SHIFTS SO ROUGH, THAT IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE COULD STOP AT ANYTIME. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE I AM NOT COMFORTABLE THAT I CAN ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
IN MARCH OF 2016 I WAS IN A HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT, TURNED MY VEHICLE ON, AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE. I MAINTAINED MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND DID NOT RELEASE. I THEN RELEASED THE BREAK AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE VERY FAST WITHOUT PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, ALMOST COLLIDING INTO A FAMILY OF 5 WALKING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT. EVEN AFTER PUSHING ON THE BREAK THE VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING UNTIL I MOVED THE VEHICLE TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE VEHICLE THEN KEPT ACCELERATING UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 7000 RPM'S THEN STOPPED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE CAR ALSO ACCELERATED ON HIM EVEN THOUGH HE DID NOT PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V800000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
I ALREADY HAD MY DART SERVICED FOR THE TRANSMISSION RECALL A YEAR AGO. THE ISSUE CAME BACK. WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" WARNING CAME ON. THE CAR THEN PROCEEDED TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHILE I WAS GOING 70MPH+. THIS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO SERVICE IT. AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS SERVICED, A WEEK LATER I HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE ON THE INTERSTATE. THE PEDAL WAS NOT WORKING SO THE CAR SLOWED DOWN, THEN IT WOULD CATCH AND SPEED BACK UP AGAIN. IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING SERVICED FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THE TRANSMISSION IN ONE YEAR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED AND BLACKED OUT. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE PANEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000.
VEHICLE APPROACHED STOP LIGHT, ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS RELEASED AND BRAKES APPLIED. VEHICLE CAME TO COMPLETE STOP AND WAS AT IDLE SPEED. ENGINE RPM SUDDENLY INCREASED TO NEAR 5K. OPERATOR HAD WITNESS IN CAR. WITNESS OBSERVED OPERATOR TO HAVE FOOT ON BRAKE AND NOT ON GAS. FCA NOTIFIED DUE TO LACK OF RESPONSE TO RECALL ON TCM THAT HAD BEEN OVER 18 MONTHS. FCA SET APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER. DEALER ADVISED THAT FCA SENT ENGINEERS TO INSPECT CAR AT DEALERSHIP. DEALER ADVISED CAR WAS BEING HELD FOR MULTIPLE DAYS DUE TO ISSUE. DEALER ADVISED THIS IS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THE MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. OUTCOME OF FCA ENGINEER INSPECTION NOT KNOWN AT THIS TIME. ...UPDATED 04/20/17 *BF *CN
MY CAR HAS STALLED WHILE I AM DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADS. AFTER TAKING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED 4 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY HIGH SCHOOL PARKING LOT GOING ABOUT 10-15 MPH. THE SECOND TIME WAS PULLING OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP SERVICING DEPARTMENT GOING ABOUT 35 MPH. THE THIRD TIME WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHILE GOING ABOUT 5 MPH. THE LAST TIME WAS ON A STRAIGHT AWAY GOING ABOUT 45 MPH THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I HAD TO FORCIBLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR HAS ALSO BEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES DUE TO ISSUES WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS, THE CENTRAL COMPUTER, AND THE DISPLAY SCREEN. OVERALL, THE CAR HAS OVER 30 PAGES OF SERVICE DONE ON IT, RANGING FORM 2,600 MILES TO 37,000 MILES. I JUST WAS INFORMED BY THE CHRYSLER RESOLUTION TEAM THAT MY CAR WILL NOT BE BOUGHT BACK OR NO COMPENSATION WILL BE GIVEN. I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR, BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO BE N THE ROAD FOR MYSELF AND THOSE ON THE ROAD WITH ME. IF THE CAR WERE TO STALL ON THE FREEWAY, I COULD BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED.
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION, CAUSED BY A SENSOR FAILURE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HAVE DIMINISHED CONTROL. DEALER WANTS $1700 TO REPLACE THE STEERING BOX IN THE HOPE THAT IT "MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM", THE DEALER IS RESISTANT TO CHECKING ALL RELEVANT SENSORS RELATED TO THE ELECTRIC STEERING SYSTEM. INSTEAD THE DEALER WANTS TO REPLACE THE PARTS ONE AT A TIME UNTIL THE VEHICLE WORKS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNUSABLE FOR TWO WEEKS NOW.
TAKATA RECALL, MY 2013 DODGE DART IS PART OF THE 15V-800 NHTSA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION AT THE BEGINNING OF 2015, I BELIEVE, THAT THE RECALL HAD OCCURRED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE CURRENT PART TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. I WENT IN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER AND WAS ADVISED OF THE SAME ISSUE. IN JUNE OF 2016, THE GAUGES FLICKERED BUT THE VEHICLE TURNED ON. LATER ON THAT DAY THE VEHICLE DID NOT TURN ON AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I REPLACED THE BATTERY. I WENT IN FOR MY REGULAR OIL CHANGE IN DECEMBER OF 2016 AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX THE ISSUE AT THE MOMENT AND WOULD CONTACT ME. I INFORMED THEM THAT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT I COULD NOT GET THE OIL CHANGE UNLESS I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE THERE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I INQUIRED ABOUT GETTING A RENTAL DUE TO THE FACT OF ME NOT KNOWING HOW LONG THE VEHICLE WOULD REMAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT PROVIDE RENTAL VEHICLES. YESTERDAY, I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN OIL CHANGE AND MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE RECALL RESOLVED. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS. I WENT TO TURN ON MY VEHICLE AND THE BATTERY WAS ONCE AGAIN DRAINED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A DEALERSHIP CAN TELL ITS CUSTOMERS THAT THEY DO NOT ISSUE RENTAL VEHICLES WHEN IT IS PART OF A NATIONWIDE SAFETY RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP BLATANTLY DISREGARDED THE MY SAFETY.
VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 50000 MILES ON IT. WHEN A PASSENGER IN MY CAR WOULD PUT THEIR SEAT BELT ON THE DASH WARNING LIGHT AND THE CHECK AIR BAG LIGHTS WOULD COME ON.
THE REVERSE LOCKOUT HAS FAILED TWICE IN MY 2013 DODGE DART. WHEN IT FAILS, INSTEAD OF PUTTING THE CAR IN FIRST GEAR THE CAR GOES INTO REVERSE. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. BOTH TIMES I ALMOST RAMMED INTO THE CAR BEHIND ME.
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN IT SLIP INTO NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF NEUTRAL LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD. I LOOKED UP ONLINE TO FIND OUT ANY INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET IT OUT OF NEUTRAL AND FIND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER VEHICLES AND FOUND RECALL NUMBER R42. I CONTACTED 1-800-853-1403 ON 2/1/17 AND GAVE THEM THE INFORMATION AND THEY PROVIDE A TOW TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. ON 2/2/17 I RECEIVE CALL FROM SOMEONE IN SERVICE AND TOLD ME THAT HE LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER AND IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL, BUT ONLY FOR THE BRAKES THAT WAS UNDER RECALL. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT EVEN THOUGH MY VIN IS NOT PULLING UP AS ONE OF THE EFFECTED CARS, THEY SHOULD STILL FIX MY CAR DUE TO ME HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. ON 2/2/17, [XXX] IN SERVICE SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT FOR 1.4 ENGINES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
DASH PANEL AND RADIO LIGHTS FLICKER INTERMITTENTLY. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED AND PROBLEM CONTINUES. PROBLEM HAS EVOLVED TO HALF DASH LIGHTS NOT WORKING. OBVIOUSLY THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN ON GOING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE" AND "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE MESSAGE BOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED TWO WEEKS EARLIER PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
I WAS COMING HOME FROM CHURCH WHEN MY CAR STOP AND SHUT OFF ALL SO I WENT TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T. I NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY HOOD SO I POPPED THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. WHEN I WENT TO OPEN THE HOOD I NOTICE FIRE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY HOOD SO I RAN TO THE CORNER AND CALLED THE POLICE WHICH ACTUALLY TRANSFER ME TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND PUT OUT AND THE POLICE OFFICER TOOK A POLICE REPORT. REPORT NUMBER IS JA125391 AND I ONLY HAD 37,000 MILES
STOPPED ON HWY ROAD SIDE TO READ AND SEND A TEXT MESSAGE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PLACE CAR IN PARK. MY 2013 DODGE DART LOCKED IN NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF NEUTRAL. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF IGNITION DUE TO THE CAR BEING IN NEUTRAL LEAVING MY DASHLIGHTS ON ALL NIGHT AFTER TOWING TO DEALERSHIP.. I NOTICE THERE IS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN DODGE DARTS FOR 2013 FOR THIS VERY ISSUE, I NOTICE MY VIN # DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE VERY SAME ISSUE APPEARS TO HAPPEN TO MY MODEL. I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE WAITING FOR HELP TO ARRIVED, I HOPE THIS WARNS OTHER OF THE ISSUE. *TR
THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING THE DEALER (AND MANUFACTURERER) SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY STILL "DON'T HAVE THE PART" AND I CONTINUE TO BE ON THE "CALL LIST". IN FACT I BROKE DOWN (DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE) IN ANOTHER STATE, PAID FOR A RENTAL THE ENTIRE WEEK IT TOOK TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION (BEFORE THE RECALL) AND GET HOME TO WORK. I ENDED UP LAYING OUT OVER $800 FOR THE RENTAL WHILE THEY REPAIRED THEIR ERROR. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND KEPT REVVING UP THE ENGINE AND THE CLUTCH DID NOT ENGAGE OR IT SLIPPED. RACING THE ENGINE AND NOT PROPELLING THE CAR WHEN THE GAS WAS STEPPED ON.THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECALL AND PAY FOR THE RENTAL. ANYWAY I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF GETTING NO REPAIR FROM LOCAL COMPANIES (THE COMPANY CALLED FOR ANOTHER LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THE PART AND NEVER FOUND ONE). *TR
JANUARY 15, 2017 I PARKED MY DODGE DART IN THE PARKING LOT. UPON MY DEPARTURE I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION AND DRIVE AROUND THE BEND TO PICK UP PASSENGERS. ONCE I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP MY ENGINE SHUT OFF, ALL SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON (MIRROR WARNING LIGHTS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, DASHBOARD SHIFT INDICATOR STUCK ON "DRIVE" RATHER THAN "PARKED") AND NO POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN 'PARK' BUT CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I WAS IN A FULL PARKING LOT AT THE BEACH ON A HOLIDAY. MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHERE LINED UP BEHIND MY CAR TO PARK/ PICK UP THEIR PASSENGERS. HAD I NOT HAVE TO PICK UP PASSENGERS I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP ON A HILL (THE FIRST TURN OUT OF THE PARKING LOT IS A FAIRLY STEEP INCLINE) MOST LIKELY CAUSING A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS THE POWER TRAIN/ SHIFTER CABLES. I HAVE NOT FELT SAFE IN THIS CAR SINCE IVE BOUGHT. NOR HAS IT BEEN RELIABLE. BROUGHT BRAND NEW AND I HAVE BEEN TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR RECALLS/ CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AND OIL CHANGES.
I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEYES WAY AND PLACED THE CAR ON PARK. TO MY SURPRISE, THE CAR KEPT MOVING AND STAYED ON DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO REMOVE THE KEY, SO IN ORDER TO SAVE THE BATTERY, I HAD TO UNPLUG IT. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRY TO CHANGE THE GEAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK, IT STAYS ON DRIVE.
WHILE DRIVING HEAD LIGHT JUST CUT OFF BY THE SELF HAS CARRIED BACK TO A DODGE CENTER NUMBER OF TIMES ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS HAD A VERY CLOSE CALL ONE TIME
THE CARS AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IT COMES ON AND OFF WITH BUMPS IN THE ROAD. NOW THE CARS SEATBELT AUDIO GOES OFF EVEN THOUGH THE SEAT BELTS ON. THIS HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES AND STILL NOT FIXED.
HAVE A 2013 DART SXT 1.4T MANUAL. I'M GOING ON 2 YEARS WITH THE CAR, BOUGHT IT WITH JUST UNDER 20K. SINCE BUYING IT, I'VE HAD SPOUTS OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR UNDERBOOST OCCASIONALLY COME ON AND GO BACK OFF SOON AFTER, NEVER MUCH OF A BOTHER SINCE IT NEVER LASTED LONG ENOUGH TO GET THE DEALERSHIP TO CATCH IT WHILE THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. YESTERDAY, 1/10/17, MY CAR WAS DRIVING NORMALLY UNTIL I TRIED TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, AT ABOUT 40 MPH THE ENGINE STARTED STUTTERING PRETTY BAD, BUT I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT BECAUSE NO LIGHTS WERE COMING ON THE DASH. UNTIL I HIT 50. SUDDENLY THE CE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, THE CAR WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 50 MPH AND THE RPMS WOULDN'T EVEN HIT 4000. PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, THE CE LIGHT WAS BACK OFF. REVVED THE ENGINE FOR A BIT, NO ISSUES. AS SOON AS I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, THE CE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THEN STAYED SOLID THIS TIME. CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALER SINCE CLEARLY IT WAS DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING. ONCE I GOT TO THE DEALER, STARTED THE CAR UP TO MOVE IT INTO A PARKING SPOT AND SUDDENLY NEITHER THE TACHOMETER OR SPEEDOMETER WERE WORKING. THEY WERE WORKING NORMALLY ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. ITS LIKE THE ENTIRE POWERTRAIN DECIDED TO HAVE A TOTAL MELTDOWN ALL AT ONCE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH LESS THAN 50K MILES ON IT. I HAVE CHANGED THE INTAKE ON THE CAR AND THE HOT/COLD SIDE PIPING FOR THE INTERCOOLER, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN ON THE CAR FOR OVER A YEAR AND I'VE BEEN SURE TO REGULARLY CHECK CONNECTIONS AND KEEP THEM WELL MAINTAINED TO PREVENT ANY ISSUES, THERE'S NO WAY THEY ARE THE CAUSE OF THE POWERTRAIN SUDDENLY HAVING A MELTDOWN. *TR
COULD NOT RENEW MY 2017 CALIFORNIA REGISTRATION. NEEDED A RECALL R42 DONE, PER DMV RECORDS. HAD THIS RECALL DONE ON JAN 5TH 2017 BY JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE OF ONTARIO CALIF. THEIR INVOICE NUMBER 491747 THE CAR RAN GOOD FOR A DAY. ON JAN 8TH HAD PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR SHIFTED BY ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL. NO FORWARD NO REVERSE. VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. ESPECIALLY WITH MY WIFE AND 7 MONTH OLD BABY IN THIS VEHICLE. HAD CAR RETURNED TO DEALER SHIP ON 1-9 2017 I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THIS RECALL R42 WAS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM OF VEHICLE SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY FAMILY. *TR
PASSENGER SUN VISOR BREAKS LOOSE FROM HEADLINER AFTER PROLONGED VIBRATION FROM ROAD
WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE, THE CAR EXPERIENCES FAILURE IN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO OTHER GEARS. THE GEAR LEVER WILL PHYSICALLY MOVE TO OTHER GEAR POSITIONS, HOWEVER THE CAR WILL NOT SWITCH FROM PARK TO OTHER GEARS. WE HAVE HAD TO MANUALLY PUSH THE CAR FORWARD TO GET IT TO SWITCH OUT OF PARK. IT SEEMS TO BE SOME KIND OF FAILURE BETWEEN THE SENSORS SENDING INFORMATION TO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WHICH IS NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO CALCULATE GEAR SHIFTING CORRECTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V800000(SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,000.
SERVICE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT KEEPS RANDOMLY (STARTING, MOTION, STATIONARY, ANY TIME) COMING ON, TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER HOURS OF DIAGNOSTIC TESTING THEY CAME UP WITH THAT I NEED A NEW SEAT AIR BAG. I KNOW MANY OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR AIR BAG MALFUNCTIONS AND UPON DOING RESEARCH, DISCOVERED OTHER 2013 DART OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR OR WORSE ISSUES WITH THEIR AIR BAG SYSTEMS. I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT 421 2013 DODGE DART MOPAR 13 SPECIAL-EDITION MODELS WERE RECALLED DUE TO POTENTIAL AIR BAG PROBLEMS, BUT IT WAS STATED ONLY THE SPECIAL EDITION MODELS WERE AFFECTED. DID THESE 2013 MODELS REALLY HAVE DIFFERENT AIR BAG SYSTEMS THAN THE REST OF THE 2013 DARTS?
I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE CLUTCH "STICKING" FOR MONTHS. NUMEROUS TIMES I WOULD PUSH IN CLUTCH AND THE GEARSHIFT WOULDN'T "CATCH" OR GO INTO GEAR. NOW GEAR SHIFTER IS BROKE. WON'T GO INTO REVERSE AT ALL. STILL SHIFTS IN FORWARD DRIVING GEARS. *TR
WHILE MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING HER 2013 DODGE DART WITH ONLY 17,000 MILES ON IT THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND THE SHIFTER SELECTOR WAS IN DRIVE...BUT THE DASH SHOWED "N" FOR NEUTRAL AND THE CAR WOULD ONLY REV AND GO NOWHERE. THE SHIFT HANDLE COULD BE MOVED TO ANY POSITION BUT THE TRANS STAYED IN NEUTRAL. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. I LET THEM KNOW THAT I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL R42 FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. DEALER SAID OUR CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. WE DID BRING THE CAR TO THEM 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS BECAUSE WE REPORTED THE TRANSMISSION WAS HESITATING ON ACCELERATION...AT THAT TIME THE CAR ONLY HAD 12,500 MILES ON IT...THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM, IF SHE HAD BEEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. AGAIN THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION, LUCKILY IN THE MALL PARKING LOT AND NOT ON A MAJOR INTERSECTION...VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. KEY STUCK IN IGNITION.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL INDEPENDENTLY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,150.
THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO SHIFT INTO CERTAIN GEARS AFTER STARTING THE CAR. THIS CAN OCCUR FOR A WHILE AFTER THE INITIAL IGNITION, OFTEN NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO MOVE THROUGH INTERSECTIONS SAFELY. I SOMETIMES CANNOT SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR AFTER STOPPING AT A STOPLIGHT, AND SOMETIMES CANNOT SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR, IF I AM ABLE TO GET IT INTO 1ST GEAR. OCCASIONALLY, IF I LEAVE THE TRANSMISSION IN 1ST GEAR OR REVERSE WHEN PARKED, AND I START THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED, THE TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED, AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO MOVE ON IGNITION. APPLYING THE BRAKES MAKES STALLS THE VEHICLE. I OCCASIONALLY HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES, AND/OR CLUTCH PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE TRANSMISSION TO CHANGE GEARS PROPERLY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL POSTS ON FORUMS INDICATING THAT IT IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE MASTER AND/OR SLAVE CYLINDER. DODGE HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE BY EXTENDING THE LENGTH OF THE WARRANTY ON THIS PART, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. IT'S VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO MOVE OUT OF AN INTERSECTION, AND THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND YOU CANNOT GET THE CAR INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND SEEMS TO BE INCREASING IN OCCURRENCE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN). THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
YESTERDAY WE WERE PARKING OUR VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THE SHIFTER GOT STUCK IN NEUTRAL. WE WERE UNABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK AND WERE UNABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. TODAY THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THE CABLE CONNECTING THE SHIFTER TO THE TRANSMISSION HAD COME LOOSE AND THAT FROM A MANUFACTURING STANDPOINT THE CABLE WAS "TOO SHORT" AND LIKELY TO COME LOOSE AGAIN. THEY REATTACHED THE CABLE BUT RECOMMENDED THAT THE CABLE TO REPLACED WITH A LONGER CABLE THAT WOULD BE LESS LIKELY TO COME LOOSE. THE COST TO REPLACE THE CABLE AND HAVE IT REINSTALLED WAS GOING TO BE JUST UNDER $800. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT WE CONTACT DODGE BECAUSE THE CAR IS UNDER 4 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 26,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ISSUE IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE BUT A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. DODGE DENIED OUR REQUEST TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY AND TO PAY TO HAVE THE CABLE REPLACED. WE EXPRESSED OUR CONCERN THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE (BECAUSE IT COULD'VE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING) AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT DOT AND TO RECOMMEND THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE PART. SO THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED FROM A KIA DEALER. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT ONE MONTH YET. WHILE DRIVING ONE DAY BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE MY BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP. I WENT TO PUSH DOWN ON THEM AND IT FELT LIKE I WAS TRYING TO PUSH DOWN A BRICK. IT WOULDN'T BUDGE. YOU COULD HEAR AIR AS YOU HIT THE BRAKE BUT NOTHING ELSE. A BRAKE LIGHT POPPED UP ON THE SCREEN FOLLOWED BY A CAR WITH A SWIRLY LINE BEHIND IT. I ALMOST BACKED INTO SOMEONE AND ALMOST WRECKED MY CAR.

THE GEAR SHIFTER MOVES BUT THE TRANSMISSION NEVER LEAVES PARK
WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE SHIFTER WHET LIMP AND THE CAR WAS STUCK IN REVERSE. I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR OR REMOVE THE KEYS. THE CAR WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND HAD TO BE TOWED FOR REPAIR. AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THE SHIFT CONTROL CABLE HAD BROKEN AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE CAR WAS OLDER THAN 36 MONTHS. I PAID TO HAVE THE SHIFT CONTROL CABLE REPLACED. FAILURE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 24,000.
THE "STICK" DEVICE THAT CONTROLS THE WIPERS & WINDOW SOLUTION, JUST WENT OUT ON MY CAR. THE WHOLE PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT'S GOING TO COST BETWEEN 600-700 TO FIX. MY CAR ONLY 3 YEARS OLD & HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT, BUT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE MECHANIC ABOUT THE REPAIR HE STATED THAT CHRYSLER/DODGE HAS MODIFIED THIS PART AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES BECAUSE OF FAILURES. HOWEVER, NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I THINK DODGE SHOULD COVER THE REPAIR COSTS.

I OWN A 2013 DODGE DART 1.4L TURBO 6 SPEED MANUAL. EVERYTIME I TRY TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE FROM A STOP THE SHIFTER ONLY GOES HALF-WAY IN. I CAN GET IT IN GEAR AFTER DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH SEVERAL TIMES. THE POWERTRAIN CONTOL MODULE WAS REPLACED IN 2014, AND WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY STATED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WAS TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. MY CAR ONLY HAS 52K MILES ON IT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTER SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION GEAR IS NOT AVAILABLE" WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTARTED, AND DRIVEN TO THE DEALER. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AT 70 MPH, IT TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR AND FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

THIS CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM), AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM). THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND DODGE IS STILL TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. BEFORE REPLACING THE BODY CONTROL MODULE THE CAR WASN'T STARTING SO THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, IT TURNS OUT THE BCM WAS STAYING ON AND DRAWING POWER FORM THE BATTERY WHILE THE CAR WAS OFF. WE WERE CONSTANTLY HAVING TO JUMP THE CAR TO GET IT STARTED. AFTER THAT THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING FUNNY IT WOULD SHIFT HARD, SHIFT INTO LOW GEARS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. ALSO WHEN FIRST STARTED OR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC INTERSECTIONS THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT INTO 4TH GEAR ON ITS OWN UNLESS IN SPORT MODE AND DONE MANUALLY. THIS MAKES IT ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY WHICH IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING OUT INTO AN INTERSECTION. AFTER REPLACING THE TCM THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL OCCURRING, IT IS CURRENTLY BEING LOOKED AND THE CAUSE IS STILL UNKNOWN.

I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY DART 2 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT, TCM LOST COMMUNICATION WHILE TRAVELING 70+ MPH DOWN HIGHWAY HAD TO TOW CAR. HAD TCM FLASHED(REPAIR 1), DROVE 2-3K MILE MORE, HAPPENED AGAIN, BROUGHT IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACED TCM (REPAIR 2, BEFORE TCM RECALL WAS ISSUED.) ABOUT 10K MILES LATER HAD TO BRING IT BACK, HAD TCM FLASHED AGAIN (REPAIR 3), ABOUT 10K MILES LATER TCM HAS PROBLEM AGAIN WHILE TRAVELING 40+ MILES DOWN A VERY BUSY CITY STREET AND NEED TO TOW VEHICLE, THIS NEW DEALERSHIP REPLACED TCM AGAIN (REPAIR 4 AFTER TCM RECALL IS ISSUED, 4K MILES LATER CAR IS NOW THROWING CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS FOR BCM, AND PCM WHICH I AM TOLD IS CONNECTED TO THE TCM. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF FILING A LEMON LAW CLAIM AGAINST CHRYSLER, A THREE YEAR OLD CAR THAT I PAID ALMOST $30,000 SHOULD NOT CAUSE SO MUCH STRESS. I CANNOT ALLOW MY FAMILY TO BE IN DANGER, I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT NEITHER ISSUE RESULTED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BUY MY VEHICLE BACK. I DO NOT WISH TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT SERVICING THE VEHICLE AGAIN, OR TRADING THEM FOR A NEWER VEHICLE AS THEY HAVE LOST MY TRUST AS A COMPANY.

BLUETOOTH DON'T WORK. $600 TO FIX AT 45,000 MILES. NOW MY PRDN LIGHTS UP ALL RED. WILL CLEAR ONLY WHEN I TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON. TOOK CAR TO AUTO ZONE AND ITS NOT GIVING ANY CODES
I HAD MY CAR FOR 5 MONTHS BEFORE HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. EVERY LIGHT IN THE DASH CAME ON MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN ON IT'S OWN UNTIL IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. EVERY GEAR ON THE SHIFTER TURNED RED AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK LEAVING ME WITH NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT TURN THE CAR OFF. AFTER TURNING IT OFF I TRIED TO TURN THE KEY OVER TO RESTART BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T COME ON AT ALL. AFTER THAT I HAD MY CAR TIRED TO ONE DODGE DEALERSHIP, WHICH IT STAYED FOR 2 WEEKS UNTIL THEY DECIDED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SO THEY HAD ME YOU'RE IT TO ANOTHER DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT STAYED 2 MONTHS.

2013 DODGE DART. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPLACEMENT PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE RECALL NOTICE. *SMD
PARKING BRAKE HAS BEEN INOPERABLE IN LIEU OF GALVANIC CORROSION ON THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER. THE STEEL SPRING LOCATED AT THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS WHICH REGULATES THE OPERATION OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE OR PARKING BRAKE HAS SEIZED WITH ITS ROTATING ARMATURE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING OVER A YEAR AGO AND AS OF TWO MONTHS AGO HAS COMPLETELY SEIZED. I FIRST CHANGED THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS IN HOPES THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM HOWEVER, IT ONLY CAUSED THE REAR EMERGENCY BRAKE CALIPER TO NOT RELEASE WHILE DRIVING. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COMPLETELY RELEASE ALL OF THE PARKING BRAKE TENSION THROUGH THE HANDLE ADJUSTMENT BOLT. THEN I HAD PHYSICALLY PUSH AND PULL THE VEHICLE BACK AND FORTH AT WHICH POINT THE REAR BRAKE PADS SLOWLY RELEASED. I COULD NOT GET THE BRAKES TO RE-ENGAGE AFTER, AND HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THE SPRING ASSEMBLY IS SEIZED ON THE REAR CALIPERS FOR THE PARKING BRAKE.

MY DODGE DART IT KEEP CLICKING WHILE PARKED IN ENGINE OFF!
TAKATA RECALL - ON 8/9/2016 I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP. THE GEAR SHIFT/CLUTCH SKIPS, STICKS, AND JUMPS, WHENEVER I MOVE IT FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE. THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY. ALSO, THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME WITH A DRY CABLE BRAKE WIRE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO MAKE A VERY LOUD NOISE. I REPORTED THESE ISSUES TO THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM, THEY LUBRICATED THE BRAKE CABLE WIRE, HOWEVER, THEY SAID THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR DUAL CLUTCHES TO DO THIS - SKIP, JUMP, AND STICK. ALSO, THE VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE, AND THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE COME SAID THIS IS NORMAL. THIS CAR HAD LOW MILEAGE ON IT AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE (38,013), I HAVE FILED A CLAIM AGAINST DODGE, BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO, I DISCOVERED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS PROBLEMS SINCE THE TIME THAT HE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, WHICH THE VEHICLE HAD 0 MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME, AND EVEN HE FILED A CLAIM AGAINST DODGE FOR THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS, PLUS FOR OTHER COMPONENT FAILURES SINCE THE DAY THAT HE PURCHASED IT.
AT TIMES THE CAR WILL NOT START BACK UP UNTIL YOU WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND EVERYTHING HAS TO BE OFF FOR IT TO DO SO. NEWEST PROBLEM IS IT SUDDENLY SLAMS ON BRAKES WHILE ALREADY STOPPED, THE CONTROL PANEL'S LIGHTS COME ON, IT WON'T GO INTO SECOND GEAR SOMETIMES PROBLEMS WITH THIRD GEAR. IN ORDER TO FIX THIS YOU HAVE TO KEEP TURNING THE CAR OFF AND WAITING ABOUT 7 MINUTES FOR THE COMPUTER TO RESET ITSELF THEN IT'S GOOD UNTIL MAYBE NEXT DAY.
MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT HAS CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO MONTHS. MILAGE IS AT 24,000 AND ALREADY TRANMISSION ISSUES. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AT THAT TIME THE LIGHT WAS OFF THEY TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY AND THAT IT WILL TAKE 6 WEEKS FOR THEM TO LOOK AT THE ISSUE. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. ALSO I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND IT WOULD NOT TURN ON I WAITED 7 MINUTES AND IT TURNED ON BUT THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WAS ON.
**TAKATA RECALL**I HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED AUTO WITHIN WARRANTY. CLUTCH SLIPPED COUPLE OF TIMES LAST MONTH AND NOW IT STUCK TO FLOOR AND THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE AREA OF TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH. MY BROTHER IN LAW AND SON WORK ON CARS AND ADVISED MY TO LET DEALER KNOW. I DID SCHEDULE AN APPT WITH DEALER PRIOR TO CAR FINALLY DID NOT MOVE. WHEN I DID TOW IT TO DEALER THEY ADVISED IT WAS DUE TO MY OVER RIDING OF CLUTCH. I HAVE HAD STANDARD CLUTCH AUTOS ALL MY LIFE AND I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE THEM. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY CALLED DEALER AND WAS ADVISED NOW MY MILES IS OVER THE WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRES 11/8/2018 FOR X62 HYDRAULIC CLUTCH. SO, MY ISSUE IS, I DID NOT OVER RIDE MY CLUTCH AND WHAT DOES WARRANTY HAVE TO DO WITH MY CLUTCH ISSUED FOR THE 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENING. I HAVE HAD MY DODGE DART FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS COME THIS NOVEMBER. MY AUTO IS STILL WITH BUD CLARY DOGDE IN AURBURN, WA AND THEY ADVISED I NEED TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTICS TEST OF $136.88. FOR SAFETY, I WOULD LIKE TO THEM REPLACE CLUTCH OR BUY THE CAR BACK TO I COULD PURCHASE A CAR THAT IS SAFE. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT UNSAFE FOR MYSELF, PASSENGERS AND THOSE AROUND ME. CAR STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WE PUSHED TO NEARBY GAS STATION . **MY CASE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION WITH CHYRSLER AND STILL AWAITING RESULTS....**CASE# 2990499**..HELP!!!!

MY KEY FOB GETS STUCK INSIDE THE IGNITION. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO DODGE IN JULY. THEY CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG. WHEN I TOLD THEM I HAD TO KEEP TURNING MY WHEEL TO GET MY KEY TO RELEASE AND MY DAD CAME UP THERE AND LET THEM KNOW HE SAW IT WITH HIS OWN EYES AND WASN'T GOING TO ACCEPT THAT, THEY REEXAMINED THE CAR AND SAID THEY FOUND A BUR IN THE IGNITION BLOCKING THE KEY FROM RELEASING THE KEY. THEY KEPT MY CAR 5 DAYS TO ORDER A NEW IGNITION CYLINDER, SO THEY CLAIM WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE. LESS THAN A MONTH, I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I PHONED THE SERVICE MANAGER, HE TOLD ME TO PUT SHIFT THE CAR GEARS AND IT SHOULD RELEASE THE KEY. IT DID ON 8/13/16. HE SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ELECTRICAL ISN'T RECOGNIZING THE CAR IS IN PARK. BUT I THOUGHT THE NEW IGNITION CYLINDER TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM BACK IN JULY I TOLD HIM. HE SAID IT COULD BE A STENOID PROBLEM BUT WON'T KNOW UNTIL I BRING THE CAR BACK. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO KEEP SPENDING ON CAR RENTAL INSURANCE AND TIME TO KEEP BEING INCONVENIENCED BECAUSE DODGE FAILED TO INSPECT THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THEIR CAR.

MY 2013 1.4L TURBO DART WAS IN SERVICE WITHIN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. WAS INFORMED THAT MY SLAVE CYLINDER, MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS UNDER RECALL. ENDED UP IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE MY ABS FAILED AND MY CAR SLID. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER. WAS TOLD BY DODGE PARTS WERE ON ORDER, I CALL AND THEY HAVE NO RECORD AND THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. WHEN IT WAS INSPECTED WAS INFORMED THE THREE ABOVE PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY SAID IT WAS ALL RECALL PARTS. OF COURSE NO FORMS OR DOCUMENTATION WAS GIVEN AT THE APPOINTMENT.
RIGHT NOW I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY EVAP SYSTEM, TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. WITH THE EVAP SYSTEM I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT AND I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP AS THE SYSTEM STATED AND I STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. THE ENGINE ISSUE NOW IS THAT THE CAR IS VERY HESITANT THAN FROM BEFORE. ESPECIALLY IN FIRST GEAR. I HAVE TO REV THE ENGINE TO GET GOING SOMETIMES. I ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. NOW THE CLUTCH GOES TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE OR STICKS TO THE FLOOR WHEN I AM ON THE ROAD FOR A WHILE OR WHEN IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR AND FEW MONTHS AND IT JUST GETS WORSE. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR IS UNSAFE.
THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON ANYTIME THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE AROUND 85 DEGREES. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED 2-3 TIMES SINCE 2013. INTERIOR LIGHTS SOMETIMES FLICKER. THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF RANDOMLY AND NOW IT CAN'T "FIND" THE MAPS. THEY ARE JUST GONE SOMEHOW. THE SD CARD SLOT WORKS SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHERS, SAME WITH THE BACKUP CAMERA. DODGE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY UNABLE TO FIX THESE.

I HAVE HAD MY 2013 DODGE DART ONLY 2 YEARS AND AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THE PURCHASE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES. JUST YESTERDAY I HAD TO PUT IT IN THE THE SHOP TO HAVE THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM THAT I NEEDED TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE NAVIGATION SERVICE. ARE THEY KIDDING ME, I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY UNIT, DUE TO THE FACT IT GOES COMPLETELY OUT WITH A WHITE SCREEN AND IT JUST DOES NOT WORK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY, THE ENGINE IS RUNNING ROUGH. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AT MY COST OF $150.00 NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT ONE. THE SPEEDOMETER IS INCORRECT, THE INTERIOR LIGHT RATTLES AND DRIVES ME CRAZY ON LONG TRIPS. I HAVE HAD TO TAKEN IT IN FOR SEVERAL FRONT END ALIGNMENTS AT MY COST. IT JUST WILL NOT STAY ALIGNED, ITS SO FRUSTRATING AND COSTLY. BUT THE REAL SCARY ITEM IS WHEN IT FELT LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND HAD LOW TO NO ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING, I SLOWLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE RIDE AND TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL GOING, I TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND IT WAS STILL CRANKED. I AM PRAYING THAT THEY GET THESE CARS OFF THE ROAD AND PUT THEM IN A BUY BACK PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY ARE A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC. I AM SO UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED WITH MY DODGE THAT I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER.

THE CAR WON'T START. BATTERY IS COMPLETLY DEAD. WON'T EVEN CHARGE. (THAT'S NOT THE BIG DEAL) THE BIG DEAL IS WHEN I TRY TO REVERSE IT'S LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO GET IN GEAR. THEN WHOLE CAR SHAKES, AND THEN IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION STOPS AND IS ABOUT TO DROP. GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ALL TURN RED. HAVE TO START CAR AND TURN BACK ON TO GET IT TO GO TO NORMAL.

PROBLEMS SINCE DAY 1 WITH MY 2013 DODGE DART. THE CLUTCH WOULD STICK IN AND I WOULD HAVE TO POP IT UP WITH MY FOOT. I WOULD TAKE MY CAR IN AND EVEN LEFT IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. AND THE "SPECIALIST" SAID WHAT I WAS TELLING THEM ABOUT THE CLUTCH WAS IMPOSSIBLE! SO I STARTED VIDEOING AND POSTING MY CLUTCH ISSUES ON YOUTUBE. THE RADIO SWITCHES STATIONS BY ITSELF, IT GOES OFF OR WON'T COME ON. I'VE HAD THE RADIO REPLACED AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING! I'VE HAD BATTERY ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY DRAINING AND ULTIMATELY BEING REPLACED. THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ABOUT HALF THE TIME. DEALERSHIP ENDED UP REPLACING THE CLUTCH, HAD MY CAR BACK 2 DAYS AND THE CLUTCH WENT OUT AGAIN. JUNE 11TH 2015 TOOK MY CAR IN IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE REAR BRAKE STARTED STICKING. THEY HAD MY CAR TWO DAYS AND SAID THEY ADJUSTED THE BRAKE BUT COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE SOUND I HEARD COMING FROM MY REAR PASSENGER TIRE. SO TWO WEEKS GO BY AND I TAKE MY CAR BACK AGAIN DEMANDING THEY TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT IT. BY NOW THE RIGHT REAR CALIBER IS STUCK IN AND HAS RUINED MY ROTOR AND BRAKE PAD. LATER MY CAR STARTS SPITTING AND SPUTTERING. TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE ONLY THING THEY COULD FIND WRONG IS THE AIR FLOW PIPE TO THE TURBO WAS LOOSE AND THEY TIGHTENED IT. I DECIDED TO GO TO A NEW MECHANIC, HE SAID ONE OF MY IGNITION COILS BLEW. 8 MONTHS LATER MY CAR STARTS DOING THE SAME THING AND MY MECHANIC SAYS ANOTHER IGNITION COIL BLEW. AND HE CANNOT GET ONE FOR MY EXACT CAR BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL ON BACK ORDER WITH DODGE! HE ALSO INFORMS ME THAT THERE ARE 3 COMPUTERS IN MY CAR AND THEY ARE NOT TALKING TO EACH OTHER. IT TOOK THEM A WHILE TO FIGURE OUT IT WAS THE IGNITION COIL BECAUSE THE COMPUTER DID NOT ALERT THAT TO THEIR TESTER. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND AFTER 3 TECHNICIANS LOOKED AT MY CAR THEY SAID I NEED A NEW TURBO.

WHEN I MADE THE APPT. I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE IN STOCK. I DROPPED OFF MY CAR THE NEXT MORNING, AND WAS TOLD 3 HOURS IF I WANTED TO WAIT.

AFTER THE 2 WEEKS, WITH NO UPDATE FROM THEM, I GOT A CALL SAYING THE PARTS DIDNT TAKE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THEM AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME. ALL IN ALL MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR A MONTH FOR A 1 HOUR TREATMENT. ON TOP OF THAT MY VEHICLE, WHICH I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IN, WAS RETURNED TO ME FILTHY AND WITH A BROKEN SEAT. AFTER OVER 30 DAYS IN A DEALERSHIP AND IT COULDNT EVEN BE DETAILED OR CLEANED?? MAYBE AN OIL CHANGE? I HAVE COMPLAINED TO DODGE AND THEY ARE SWEEPING IT UNDER THE RUG JUST AS THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE.
I HAVE TOOKEN THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME EXACT REASON AND ITS ALWAYS THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AIR BAG THE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE HARNESSES LESS THEN A YEAR AGO AND NOW I HAVE A AUR BAG LIGHT AGAIN.

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY CAR SINCE I GOT IT. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THREE RADIOS, AN ENTIRELY NEW TURBO WAS INSTALLED ONE YEAR AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. THEN THINGS WERE GOING WELL UNTIL RECENTLY. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP ABOUT 3 WEEKS IN A ROW. FIRST IT WAS ONE OF MY COILS THAT HAD BECOME INACTIVE. SO WHILE DRIVING IT THE CAR SHAKES AND STUTTERS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I TRY TO HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR STARTS SLOWING DOWN AND SHAKING. SO I HAD TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER SHOP TO LOOK AT IT BECAUSE FOR A NEW CAR IT IS NOT IN MY FINANCES TO BE PUTTING $400 INTO MY CAR EVERY WEEK. HAD TO GET THE PART ORDERED SO I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING MY CAR AROUND WITH ONE COIL INACTIVE. THEN IN THE MIDST OF ALL THIS HAPPENING, ONE WEEK AFTER THE COIL HAD OFFICIALLY WENT INACTIVE, IT WAS BACK IN THE SHOP BECAUSE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE ALL OF A SUDDEN BECAME REALLY LOOSE AND WHEN I WASN'T MOVING THE CAR WOULD ROLL. WHICH MEANS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WASN'T DOING ITS JOB. SO THAT NIGHT I TOOK IT OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT YET AGAIN. THEY CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THAT MY LEFT REAR CALIBER HAD SEIZED WHICH IS DESCRIBED TO ME THAT IT WASN'T GRABBING AND RELEASING THE WHEEL LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE WHICH ALSO CAUSED MY BRAKES AND ROTORS TO WEAR SO MUCH THAT THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED. WHICH THIS WAS SOMETHING I COULD NOT JUST LET GO, OR EVEN DRIVE THE CAR WITH, I HAD TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP OVER $400 TO JUST FIX MY CAR SO THAT I COULD DRIVE IT. I CANNOT BELIEVE ALL THE TROUBLE THAT I AM GOING THROUGH FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT EVEN 5 YEARS OLD.

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY 2013 DODGE DART GT WITH A 2.4 TIGER SHARK ENGINE WITH MULTIAIR HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING ON THE ROAD. THE REASON FOR THIS THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME WAS DUE TO LOW OIL, WHICH WE RECENTLY REALIZED USES AT LEAST 1/2 QUART PER 1,000 MILES. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. THEY SAID THAT BEFORE 50,000 MILES IT IS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS TO BURN 1 QUART FOR EVERY 1000 MILES AND AFTER 50,000 MILES IT IS NORMAL TO BURN 1 QUART FOR EVERY 750 MILES. THIS WAS NEVER DIVULGED TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT FIRST DID THIS STARTING AT 35,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 42,000 MILES. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY OIL LIGHT OR ANY OTHER ENGINE LIGHT THAT GOES ON BEFORE THE VEHICLE DIES. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN SOME VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND WHO WOULD WANT TO BUY IT FROM ME? TWO DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE ENGINE ON THIS CAR TO BURN LOTS OF OIL, TO DIE WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING IF THE OIL IS LOW, AND FOR THE OIL LIGHT NOT TO GO ON BECAUSE THE CAR WILL STOP RUNNING BEFORE THE SENSOR IS ACTIVATED. THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE. THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS THE OIL SENSOR NEVER ACTIVATES TO TELL ME THE OIL IS LOW. THEY TELL ME TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN THE CAR. I FIND THAT TO BE AN UNACCEPTABLE SOLUTION. THE OIL HAS ALWAYS BEEN CHANGED AT NORMAL INTERVALS. *TR

1) SLAVE CYLINDER IN TRANSMISSION (MANUAL) BEGAN FAILING AT 12,000 MILES, CAUSING CLUTCH PEDAL TO LOSE PRESSURE AND NOT RETURN TO TOP OF TRAVEL. UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. THIS OCCURRED WHEN PARKED OVERNIGHT. DEALERSHIP REPLACED SLAVE CYLINDER, CLUTCH, AND THROW OUT BEARING WITH NO CHARGE.
WHEN TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW, DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER INSTRUCTS USER TO "INFLATE TIRES TO 0 (ZERO) PSI" THIS OCCURS ANY TIME ONE OR MORE TIRE LOSES ENOUGH PRESSURE TO TRIGGER THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR.
TOOK OWNERSHIP OF CAR AT 6,420 MILES AS THE FIRST OWNER. NOTICED THAT THE FACTORY TIRES HAD "TEST TIRE" STAMPED INTO THE SIDEWALL OF ALL FOUR TIRES. CONTACTED YOKOHAMA CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHO IMMEDIATELY SHIPPED A NEW SET OF REPLACEMENT TIRES IF I GUARANTEED I WOULD SEND THE OLD TIRES BACK. NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES OCCURRED BUT THE NEW TIRES DROVE MARKEDLY DIFFERENT THAN THE ONES THAT CAME ON THE CAR.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO PERFORM DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE THAT CALLED FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR CAMSHAFT POS. SENSOR AND EVAP LEAK.
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START MY DART, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WILL HAVE NO TENSION IN IT. THE PEDAL WILL GO STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH NO EFFORT AND WILL STICK DOWN. I HAVE TO USE MY FOOT TO PULL IT BACK UP. THE CAR WILL ALSO NOT GO INTO GEAR WHEN THIS OCCURS. YOU HAVE TO EITHER TURN THE CAR OFF OR LET IT STALL, THEN PUMP THE CLUTCH 10-20 TIMES IN ORDER TO GET THE TENSION NEEDED. SOMETIMES THIS DOESN'T HELP AT ALL AND YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE! FCA KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE, THEY'VE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 60,000, BUT MY CAR HAVING 83,XXX MILES THEY DON'T CARE. FIRST EXTENDED SERVICE CORPORATION WHO I PURCHASED AN "EXTENDED SERVICE AGREEMENT" THROUGH DOESN'T CARE EITHER. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR AND THE REPRESENTATIVE FLAT OUT TOLD ME "NO" AND HUNG UP. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. WE'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND OTHERS AROUND AND THEY SAID IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, HOW IS IT NOT A RECALL?!?

WHEN STARTING TO SLIDE ON ICE A NOTIFICATION FLASHES WHERE YOUR MILEAGE SHOULD SHOW BUT IT DISAPPEARS SO QUICK DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN FOR A FEW SECONDS ALONG WITH ALL ELECTRICAL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ( NO SPEEDOMETER NO STEREO NO TOUCH SCREEN NO LIGHTS IN OR OUT) HOWEVER WHILE SLIDING IF YOU LET YOUR FOOT OFF THE BREAK THE ENGINE AND ALL THE LIGHTS SEEM TO REBOOT AND THE CAR GAINS POWER AGAIN.

THE VEHICLE WHILE IN PARK AND WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON , POPPED OUT OF GEAR AND THE EBREAK FAILED AND THE CAR ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVE WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR, I WAS GETTING HER OUT AND SHE WAS UNBUCKLED WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACK, IT WENT DOWN THE DRIVE ACROSS THE ROAD JUMPED THE CURB AND STOPPED SHORT OF CRASHING INTO OUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE. LUCKILY MY DAUGHTER HELD ON AND WASN'T INJURED YET COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. OTHER MAJOR ISSUES: THE REVERSE LEVER DOESN'T WORK SO WHEN I GO TO SHIFT INTO FIRST IT GOES INTO REVERSE WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL THE LEVER UP, I HAVE MULTIPLE TIMES THOUGHT I WAS IN FIRST AND STARTED TO GO BACKWARDS. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE PASSENGER VISOR FELL OFF WHEN I PUT IT DOWN IT JUST FELL OFF, THE DEALER CHARGED ME $171 TO REINSTALL, I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND ITS VERY COMMON IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL YET DODGE DOES NOTHING. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS NO LONGER WORK. WITHIN 2 YEARS WE HAVE REPLACED 6 TIRES, THE STOCK WHEELS ALL HAD BUBBLES IN THE WHEEL WITHIN A YEAR NEEDING REPLACE. THE DEALER DID NOTHING. THE CAR BACKFIRES WHEN I SHIFT, AND HESITATES WHEN DRIVING LIKE IT SLIPPING AND CANT GET UP TO SPEED. SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO ASSIST US. WE BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT IT NEW HAS SOMEHOW TAMPERED WITH THEIR CARS SO THAT THEY GET MORE BUSINESS WHEN THINGS BREAK, WE BELIEVE THIS BECAUSE ITS OUR 2ND CAR FROM THEM AND OUR OTHER CAR WAS SOLD TO US WITH COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT SUB FRAME WHICH ALMOST KILLED MY WIFE AND FAMILY, AND THE DEALER KNEW IT WAS BAD AND LIED ON INSPECTION. THAT WAS REPLACED THANKS TO NHTSA, BUT HAVE NO ASSISTANCE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP IS DAVID DODGE, IN PA. OUR DODGE IS VERY UNSAFE AND WE ARE AFRAID TO PUT OUR KIDS IN THIS CAR EVEN AFTER THE DEALER IS SAYING THEY ARE "FIXING THE PROBLEMS" WHICH WE DON'T BELIEVE TO BE TRUE
ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO, THE BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE GOING DOWN A HILL ON THE WAY TO WORK. THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND SOME OTHER PART RELATED TO THAT. THE BRAKES HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY SINCE IT WAS FIXED, BUT THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS THAT THEY ARE FINE. I LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEY COULD NOT GET THE BRAKES TO FAIL. ON 1/15/16 WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, THE BRAKES GAVE WAY AGAIN. I BACKED UP AND DROVE IN AGAIN, AND THEY DID IT REPEATEDLY. IT WAS LIKE THEY COULDN'T CATCH OR SOMETHING, YOU COULD FEEL THE JERK OF THE BRAKES AS I TRIED TO APPLY THEM. WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUN-AROUND FOR ALMOST A YEAR, AND WERE TOLD THAT THE BRAKES WERE FIXED AND FINE. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER SAYING THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM, YET THEY REFUSE TO LET US PAST THE ENTRY LEVEL PEOPLE OPERATING THE PHONE. I AM IN DANGER EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR. WE HAVE GOTTEN NO WHERE IN THE PAST YEAR WITH CHRYSLER, AND HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY LIED TO ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE BRAKES. THE PROOF OF THOSE LIES IS IN THE RECALL WHICH CLEARLY SAYS THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AT THE PRESENT TIME. THAT MEANS THAT MY BRAKES COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME AND I CANNOT GO ABOUT MY NORMAL LIFE IN A PANIC ABOUT DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK, OR THE GROCERY STORE, OR HAVE ANYONE IN THE CAR WITH ME, BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS PREPARING FOR AN INEVITABLE CRASH. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO LIVE THIS WAY, AND THEY HAVE KNOWN ALL ALONG THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO MAKE IT RIGHT, BUT HAVE DONE EVERYTHING TO PRETEND IT DID NOT EXIST. I SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO CONTINUE PAYING FOR A CAR THAT WILL ONE DAY RESULT IN MY DEATH OR INJURY. THIS CAR SHOULD BE BOUGHT BACK FROM ME IF THERE IS ANY FAIRNESS AT ALL, OTHERWISE I HAVE PAID ON TIME FOR TWO YEARS ON A CAR THAT IS FAULTY AND DANGEROUS. THIS PUTS ME AT A DISADVANTAGE WHEN GOING TO BUY A NEW CAR WITH NO TRADE IN.

HE TOLD ME HE WOULD FIX ALL THE RECALLS. WE ASSUMED THEY WERE DONE. IT WASN'T UNTIL MY SONS ACCIDENT THAT WE LEARNED THEY DIDNT FIX THE AIRBAGS. ON 12.28.2015 MY SON WAS IN A ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF ICE ON HIGHWAY AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE . HE COULD OF BEEN BADLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. LUCKILY HE ONLY HAS A CONCUSSION. I AM ATTACHING A PICTURE FOR YOU TO LOOK AT. ALSO I WAS TOLD BY THE STATE TROOPER THAT THERE IS A VIDEO OF THE ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR TOLL BOOTH WITH CAMERAS.

HUSBAND WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE THE STORE, APPLIED THE BRAKE TO REVERSE WAS A LOUD POP AND HISSING NOISE, BRAKES BARELY WORKED AT 10 MPH. I'VE HAD THIS CAR 2 YEARS BRAND NEW, NO ISSUES WHAT SO EVER, NOW THIS. APPREARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE AS EVERYONE ELSE. WILL NEED IT TOWED TO THE DEALER, EARLIST APPOINTMENT IS 12/14/2015. I HAVE NOT HIT 20,000 MILES ON THIS CAR YET. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!
ARRIVED HOME ON 12/5/2015, WE LIVE ON AN INCLINE SO WE HAVE TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO PARK. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE IT WAS A LITTLE WEAK FEELING. WE DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL THE MORNING OF 12/7/2015. WE WERE LEAVING FOR WORK, APPLIED THE BRAKE, PUT IN REVERSE AND RELEASED THE PARKING BRAKE. WHEN I RELEASED IT, IT JUST FELL LIKE THERE WAS NOTHING THERE... LIKE THE PARKING BRAKE WAS JUST A HANDLE NOT ATTACHED TO ANYTHING. SO, I STARTED TO BACK UP AND WITH THE PARKING BRAKE COMPLETELY OFF, THE REAR BRAKES WERE STILL LOCKED UP. I PULLED FORWARD AND BACKWARD TO TRY AND HELP FREE THE BRAKES. APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE AGAIN AND IT HAD NOTHING THERE. SINCE THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE WE HAVE, WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT AND IT EVENTUALLY FREED UP, BUT STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN APPLYING THE REGULAR BRAKES TO STOP, THE REAR END FELT LIKE IT HAD TO MUCH BRAKES. I COULD ALSO LET OFF THE GAS AND FEEL THE CAR COMING TO A STOP LIKE A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF BRAKING WAS BEING APPLIED. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT. THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO SAFETY RECALLS ON THE CAR, HOWEVER THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES/REPORTS AND RECALLS ABOUT THE BRAKES FOR THIS MODEL.
WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP BY PRESSING THE BREAK, THE BREAK OUT OF NOWHERE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO PRESS DOWN AND THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP. I WAS COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY APPROACHING A LIGHT. AFTER I WAS ABLE TO PRESS IT DOWN IT LET OFF A HISSING NOISE. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BREAK BOOSTER THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NO ONE WAS ABLE TO INFORM ME WHAT CAUSED IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE PRIOR TO, NO ACCIDENTS AND I AM CONSISTENT WITH SERVICE. IT IS CLEAR THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND A RECALL IS IN ORDER. I DO UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OR ONLY COMPLAINT FOR THE VERY SAME ISSUE. THIS COULD RESULT IN DEATH. ALSO THEIR SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MY AIRBAG SYSTEM AND TIRE LIGHT AS THEY HAVE BEEN TRIGGERED ON THEIR OWN AND WILL NOT GO OFF.
WHEN BRAKING THE CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO STOP. ON SEPTEMBER 13,2013 , MY SON ACTUALLY HAD AN ACCIDENT. WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKES THE CAR CONTINUED TO RUN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR. IT ACTUALLY TOOK OVER 6 WEEKS TO REPAIR THE CAR, AS PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. HIS CAR ALSO SHOWS THAT IT IS NOT IN THE SYSTEM WHEN I INPUT THE VIN NUMBER. I'M HOPING I DIDN'T MISS ANY RECALLS BECAUSE OF THIS. ORIGINALLY WHEN HE BOUGHT THE CAR, THE VIN NUMBER WAS WRONG ON HIS REGISTRATION. HE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF STOPPING THE VEHICLE WHEN I RAN INTO THE BACK OF IT. HE WAS ON A HIGHWAY AT THE TIME. IT CAUSED $8,847.31 DAMAGE TO HIS CAR.
I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART. AFTER 2 YEARS, THE CLUTCH SUDDENLY STUCK TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE; IT NEEDED A NEW MASTER CYLINDER. A FEW MONTHS LATER, I STARTED NOTICING IT STICKING AGAIN, BUT IT COULD BE PULLED OUT BY USING MY FOOT TO POP IT BACK OUT. SO I PROMPTLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. LAST MONTH, THE CLUTCH WENT OUT AGAIN. HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. NOW IT SEEMS THEY ARE REPLACING THE ENTIRE CLUTCH KIT. TOLD ME THE FLYWHEEL WAS COMPLETELY BURNED OUT. AND TRIED TO BLAME MY DRIVING, SAYING THE FLYWHEEL WAS NORMAL WHEN THEY EVALUATED IT. NO WAY, DODGE. NOW THEY'VE HAD MY CAR SINCE NOVEMBER 16TH, TODAY BEING DEC. 3, AND IT STILL WON'T BE FIXED UNTIL WELL INTO NEXT WEEK. AND THE RENTAL CAR IS OUT OF MY POCKET.

I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED AT ALL ON MY RECALLS. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL THINGS I'VE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP ON AND I THOUGHT IT HAD BEEN FIXED NOT KNOWING IT WAS A RECALL. BUT IT IS NOT FIXED. MY TRANSMISSION WON'T LET ME PUT CAR IN REVERSE VERY EASY. MY CAR ENGINE RPMS GET HIGHER WHEN I APPROACH TO STOP. IT ACTS LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL ST TIMES LIKE IT CUTS OUT. MY BLUETOOTH IS HARD TO CONNECT. MY FRONT DRIVER TIRE HAS WORE OUT 2 SIDE WALLS TIRES BUT HAS NEVER WENT FLAT BUT NEVER SHOWS IT'S VERY LOW BUT IT IS NEVER THE SAME AS OTHERS. MY CAR FRONT DRIVER MAKES A NOISE LIKE SUSPENSION IS MESSED UP AND IT'S VERY ROUGH RIDING. I NO LONGER GET GOOD GAS MILEAGE. WHEN I GO TO PARK MY CAR IT WANTS TO ROLL AFT ERR BEING PUT IN PARK. THE BREAKS ARE VERY TOUCHY. BARELY GRAZE THE PEDAL AND YOU'LL HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. I WANTED A NEW CAR ALL MY LIFE AND AFTER 35 YEARS I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET ONE AND I'M STILL IN THE SAME POSITION AS BEFORE. PLEASE HELP ON WHAT TO-DO CONSIDERING I'VE YET TO EVEN RECEIVE ANYTHING ABOUT MY CAR HAVING ANY RECALL. AND I'VE GOT 2 KIDS THAT I'M RAISING ALONE ANDI'M IT SAYS CAN CAUSE ACCIDENT WHY CAN'T I GET A REPLACEMENT CAR TILL THEY GET THE PARTS TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE. I'M VERY UNHAPPY

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, I HAD MY FOOT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BREAK POPPED BACK OUT AND PUSHED MY FOOT BACKWARD. I MOVED SLOWLY. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE ONLY TO HEAR A SOUND OF AIR BEING RELEASED. I HAD TO DRIVE 10 MPH SO THAT I COULD ENSURE PROPER STOPPING TIME BECAUSE THE BRAKE WAS LITERALLY USELESS.
WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKES FAILED, THE PEDAL WAS HARD TO PUSH AND WE HEARD AN AIR NOISE FROM AROUND THE PEDAL. WE NEARLY CRASHED INTO SOMEONE IN THE WALMART PARKING LOT. DODGE SAID THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER, AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED REPLACED. THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE $1200.00 COST.

THIS IS UNCALLED FOR.

SHE FLEW THROUGH THE RED LIGHT AND COULDN'T STOP FOR ATLEAST ANOTHER FIFTY FEET HOLDING BOTH FEET TO THE BRAKE AND PULLING THE E-BRAKE. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT SHE WAS NOT INJURED OR SMASHED BY A VEHICLE AT THE RED LIGHT AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE AND SEEING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO RECALL FOR THAT PART BEING SENT IS LUDICROUS. I AM OUTRAGED THAT YOUR COMPANY AFTER ALL THESE COMPLAINTS HAS NOT SENT A RECALL. FOR AS EXPENSIVE AS THE CAR IS, YOU EXPECT FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY TO BE A PRIORITY FOR YOUR COMPANY. IT IS NOW GETTING FIXED AT A DEALERSHIP AND ALL I GOT FROM THEM WAS AN I'M SORRY THAT HAPPENED. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH THERE ARE ANOTHER THOUSAND PEOPLE SAYING AFTER IT WAS FIXED IT HAPPENED AGAIN.

I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT A LOT ARE HAVING AS I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET. AS I DEPRESS THE BRAKES A HISSING AIR NOISE HAPPENS AND THE BRAKING SYSTEMS FAILS. THE WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH, AND I HAVE TO BRAKE EXTREMELY HARD TO GET THE CAR TO STOP AND IT APPEARS THE HYDRAULICS ARE FAILING. IT'S DANGEROUS AND I DON'T HAVE THE EXTRA MONEY TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
I WAS BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKES TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE. AS SOON AS I HIT THE BRAKE THERE WAS A POP AND A HISS. THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS AND COULDN'T SAFELY STOP THE CAR UNLESS GOING 10 MPH OR SLOWER. SOUNDS LIKE A COMMON OCCURRENCE AS FAR AS PROBLEMS GO...PROBABLY THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER.
EIGHT MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) FAILED CAUSING DOOR LOCKS AND TRUNK RELEASE NOT THE FUNCTION THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WASSTATIONARY OR IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS OR THE HIGHWAY.

MY CAR WAS PURCHASED 4/2013. AFTER THREE MONTHS A NEW SLAVE CYLINDER WAS INSTALLED AFTER THE COMPUTER READ NO GEARS, SERVICE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES IN THE TWO YEARS THAT I HAVE HAD THE CAR. EVERY THE I TURN THE CAR OFF AFTER THIS HAPPENS, THE COMPUTER RESETS, SO WHEN IT GETS TO THE DEALER, THE CLAIM THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY, NOW ITS EVERY DAY. I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR TO WORK FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL GIVE OUT. THE LAST FEW TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE CAR WOULDN'T START BACK UP. I HAD TO SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART. THIS IS A HAZARD. THE CAR HAS NO GEARS WHILE I'M ON THE HIGHWAY YRAVELIN AT 80 MPH. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR FOR OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY.
ONGOING CLUTCH/HYDRAULIC PROBLEMS HAVE CAUSED ME TO BE IN SEVERAL UNSAFE SITUATIONS. FIRST SAFETY CONCERN WAS DUE TO CAR STALLING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. THERE WERE SEVERAL TIMES THAT IMPROPER CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT CAUSED THE CAR TO JERK AND DIE AT A STOP. SECOND CONCERN WAS FROM DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEARS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC DUE TO CLUTCH NOT ENGAGING FULLY. THIRD CONCERN WAS FROM TOTAL SYSTEM FAILURE (19426 MILES): EXITED INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND DEPRESSED CLUTCH TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL. WHILE DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH I HEARD A LOUD POP/CLUNK SOUND AND THE CLUTCH INSTANTLY DROPPED TO THE FLOOR. I THEN STARTED SMELLING THE CLUTCH BURNING AND HAD NO ABILITY TO SHIFT OR ENGAGE GEARS. I WAS LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY AND HAD TO PUSH MY VEHICLE TO A SAFE LOCATION ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD THANKS TO THE HELP OF SOME PEOPLE THAT STOPPED. AFTER TOWING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, I WAS TOLD THE FLYWHEEL, PRESSURE PLATE, AND CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (19,426 MILES). FOURTH CONCERN WAS A FAILURE OF THE CLUTCH (APPROX 34,735 MILES): AFTER BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY THE CLUTCH STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE NORMAL POSITION CAUSING THE INABILITY TO SHIFT. AFTER RESTARTING VEHICLE I HAD TO LIFT CLUTCH BY HAND AND PUMP CLUTCH TO REGAIN HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. I WAS TOLD CLUTCH HAD FAILED AND WAS BLAMED FOR FAILURE FROM RIDING CLUTCH MILEAGE PROBLEMS FIRST REPORTED (I CONTINUED TO MENTION PROBLEMS ON LATER VISITS): 1555 - NOISE RELEASING CLUTCH 2072 - RESISTANCE AND ENGAGEMENT CHANGING IN THE CLUTCH MILEAGE/REPAIRS MADE: 5905 - MASTER CYLINDER/ACTUATOR REPLACED 19426 - CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE, AND FLYWHEEL REPLACED 34747 - CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE, FLYWHEEL, AND SLAVE CYLINDER REPLACED (AWAITING AMENDED REPAIR ORDER) AFTER LATEST REPAIR THE CAR IS BACK IN SHOP DUE TO RETURNED HYDRAULIC PRESSURE VARIANCE

I, SYLVIA, NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY DODGE DART 2013 CAR. I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON MY BIRTHDAY OF NOV. 30, 2013 AT CARL GREGORY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE HYUNDL ALBANY, GA. WHEN I GO TO THE SHOP AND CHANGE MY OIL, I WILL ASK THE CLERK IF THERE A RECALL ON MY CAR. THE CLERK'S ANSWER IS NO, AFTER LOOKING ON HER COMPUTER. MY CAR STALL AFTER START-UP AS WELL AS HARD TO START SOMETIME AFTER I PUT THE KEY IN TO START UP MY ENGINE. I AM HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND STILL PAYING PAYMENTS. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE PROBLEMS SO EARLY IN LIFE. FURTHERMORE, I REALLY LIKE MY CAR BUT HAVING THESE PROBLEMS IS GETTING ME TO NOT TRUST MY CAR. PLEASE, LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE FOR ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
9/03/15 MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING WHILE GOING APPROX 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. RPM'S SHOT UP AND THE TRANS WENT OUT INSTANTANEOUSLY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, ENGINE AND TRANS LIGHTS CAME ON, CAR WOULD NOT GO IN ANY GEAR. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART IT, MEANWHILE I SAT LIKE A SITTING DUCK WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK, HOPING THAT THE SPEEDING CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS APPROACHING WOULD NOT CRASH INTO ME. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER. DEALER SAID THE CAUSE WAS A FLASHED PCM, IT WAS REPROGRAMMED I WAS TOLD IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. ON 9/05/15 1 HOUR AFTER COMING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. DEALER WAS CLOSED FOR THE WEEKEND SO I LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE, 2 HOURS LATER THE CAR STARTED BUT WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE, AN HOUR LATER, THE CAR HAD REVERSE BUT NO DRIVE.THE NEXT MORNING THE CAR STARTED, ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF AND ALL GEARS WORKED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID CODES WERE NOW SHOWING IT WAS THE TRANS RANGE SENSOR. GOT THE CAR BACK FOR THE 2ND TIME ON SEPT.16. SEPT.19 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN THE NEXT STATE, THE TRANS WENT OUT AGAIN WHILE GOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN! THIS TIME I WAS LEFT STRANDED OVER 70 HIGHWAY MILES FROM HOME. AFTER WAITING A FEW HOURS I WAS FINALLY WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME, TAKING TAKE SIDE ROADS IN CASE THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN. WHAT SHOULD'VE BEEN A 1 1/2 HOUR RIDE HOME ON THE INTERSTATE TOOK ME OVER 5 HOURS DRIVING ON SIDE ROADS. THIS CAR IS GOING BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 2 1/2 WEEKS! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, THERE ARE TOO MANY REPORTS INVOLVING THIS ISSUE ON SEVERAL WEBSITES I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE OR HAVING MY WIFE AND KIDS IN IT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY! SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE (NOT AFTER) THIS "KNOWN" TRANSMISSION STALLING ISSUE CAUSES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND KILLS SOMEONE!
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE DODGE DART 12/23/2013 (428 MILES). ON 2/3/2014 STARTED VEHICLE TO HEAD TO WORK, PUT INTO GEAR (DRIVE) PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC, STARTED TO GO, THEN TRANSMISSION FLASHING ON DASH, STATING GEAR NOT FOUND. COULD NOT SHIFT THE VEHICLE, WOULDN'T MOVE. HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF TRAFFIC. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED NUMEROUS TIMES SAME ONGOING PROBLEMS TO THIS DATE 9/18/2015. LEMON LAW WAS CONTACTED.
PICKED UP KIDS FROM SCHOOL, DROVE TO THE MAIL BOX IN MY COMMUNITY AND TURNED OFF VEHICLE. AFTER STARTED VEHICLE AGAIN, BREAKS WERE VERY STIFF AND WHOOSHING SOUND CAME EVERY TIME I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED TO DRIVE, IT STARTED ROLLING. I HAD TO PUSH THE BREAK PEDAL HARDER TO MAKE THE VEHICLE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, ALL THE WHILE THE PEDAL WAS VERY STIFF. I DROVE TO WORK THAT MORNING AND MADE IT BACK TO KID'S SCHOOL WITHOUT ANY ISSUES OR SIGNS THAT BREAK SYSTEM MIGHT HAVE PROBLEMS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DANGEROUS ISSUE AS THERE ARE NO EARLY WARNING SIGNS.
THE GEAR SHIFT IS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION DELAYS SHIFTING INTO GEAR. WHEN IT DOES SHIFT INTO GEAR THE CAR ACCELERATES WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE. THIS IS THE DDC TRANSMISSION. THIS IS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES

PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND AS I CAME TO A STOP A POPPING NOISE CAME FROM UNDER THE DASH. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY FIRM, AS IF THE ENGINE WERE OFF, AND I CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD AND BUMPED THE SIDEWALK. MINOR DAMAGE, JUST SCRATCHES ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BUMPER. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE CAR HOME, AND CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. AFTER A FEW SEARCHES, IT SEEMED THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS TO BLAME. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IF THERE WAS MOTOR OIL IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER, IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER, VACUUM PUMP, VACUUM LINES, AND MASTER CYLINDER. AT 43,000 MILES. I UNDERSTAND THINGS BREAK. BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM IF THEY ALREADY KNOW THE OTHER PARTS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH IT. IT ALSO SEEMS A LITTLE EARLY FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER TO CRAP THE BED.
MY 2013 DODGE DART SXT HAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED ISSUES WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE BRAKES SUDDENLY POPPED, FOLLOWED BY A HISSING NOISE AND THE PEDAL THEN BECAME VERY STIFF TO PUSH. WHEN PUSHED HARD ENOUGH I WAS ABLE TO STOP BUT IT TOOK SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER IN ORDER TO STOP. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, TRAVELING AT 65 MPH THIS ISSUE MAY HAVE BEEN MORE SERIOUS. BUT LUCKY FOR ME, I WAS ONLY GOING 45 MPH. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I BOUGHT IT FROM. THEY LOOKED IT OVER AND TOLD ME THE BRAKE BOOSTER, PUMP, PUMP LINE AND MASTER CYLINDER ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER FOR THE ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED, RESULTING IN AN ESTIMATED COST OF $1200. AFTER HEARING THE COST OF THIS REPAIR, I WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE A LITTLE MORE. ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR MY PARTICULAR MODEL OF CAR BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED YET. SO I AM PROVIDING YOU WITH THIS INFORMATION WITH HOPE THAT IT WILL HELP WITH THE INVESTIGATION PROCESS.
I BOUGHT MY CAR ON MAY 6, 2013 AND I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO WHITTEN BROTHERS IN ASHLAND VIRGINIA FOR ALL THE SERVICE AND REPAIR WORK. ON JUNE 13, 2013 I HAD A RECALL DONE AND ALL OF THE REPAIRS STARTED.THE AIR BAG WIRING AND HARNESSES REPLACED IN JUNE 2013. THE TURBO HAS BEEN REPLACE 4 TIMES AS OF AUGUST 27, 2015. THE WASTE GATE ACTUATOR HAS BEEN REPLACE 3 TIMES. 08/12/14 THE VACUUM SENSOR SIGNAL REPLACED POWER BRAKE CHECK VALVE AND SADDER AND REPAIRED 2 WIRES GOING TO THE VACUUM SENSOR. TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE ON 09/11/15. ON 06/26/14 THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH WAS REPLACED BUT STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY BECAUSE THE CAR IS ALWAYS HAVING A PROBLEM WHICH WILL STOP IT FROM WORKING. ON 06/26/14 THE CONTROL PANEL WAS REPLACED. ON 02/18/15 PCM RADIO WIRING, RIGHT FRONT DOOR AND SUBWOOFER SPEAKERS REPLACED. ON 08/27/15 FRONT STRUTS AND BACK SHOCK ABSORBERS REPLACED. ON 09/01/15 REPLACED BATTERY AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD ALL THE UPDATES DONE ON MY CAR WHILE ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP AND NOW I AM TIRED OF BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY CHRYSLER. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO LOSE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO TRADE OR SELL MY CAR BACK TO A DEALER TO GET OUT OF THIS NIGHTMARE. I WANT MY CAR RECALLED BACK FOR A FULL REFUND BECAUSE OF THE REOCCURRING PROBLEMS I KEEP HAVING. I HAVE SENT A LEMON LAW LETTER TO CHRYSLER ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2014 AND PUT THEM ON NOTICE ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND DEMANDED A BUY BACK WHICH IN TURN THEY GAVE ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH HAS COVERED ALL THE REPAIR EXPENSES. I ALSO JUST SETTLED A LAW SUIT WITH CHRYSLER THROUGH THE LAW OFFICES OF KROHN AND MOSS IN CHICAGO THE LAWYER DID NOT PURSUE MY CASE IN COURT DUE TO BEING OUT OF STATE. SO THEREFORE, I ONLY WON $5,000.00 TO COVER THE ATTORNEY FEE OF $3,500.00 LEAVING ME $1,500.00. MY TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE WAS $21,671.00 AND THAT IS WHAT I AM FIGHTING FOR!
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION FRACTURED AND PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM REVERSING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,974.
PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPACE, THE BRAKES LET OUT A HISSING NOISE. IT WAS VERY HARD TO PRESS DOWN AND WHEN FULLY PRESSED DOWN THE BRAKES WERE NOT RESPONDING WELL AT ALL. THIS WAS NOT A ONE-TIME INCIDENT. AFTER TESTING THE BRAKES AGAIN THEY ARE STILL BARELY RESPONSIVE AND THE PEDAL MAKES A HISSING (LETTING AIR OUT) SOUND.
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE CAR STARTED STUTTERING AND MAKING A WHOOSHING/WHISTLING SOUND. KEEP LOOSING POWER TO THE CAR. WHEN I WOULD TRY TO SPEED UP, IT WOULD MAKE IT WORSE, AND WOULD MAKE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT START BLINKING. I RAN THE CODE, THAT CAME BACK AS CODE P1ECA. I BELIEVE THIS IS PART OF THE POWER TRAIN RECALL, THOUGH MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, I BELIEVE IT NEEDS TO BE. THIS PROBLEM CAME OUT OF NOWHERE WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE, AND EVERYTHING I HAVE TRIED TO FIX IT HAS NOT WORKED.
MY DODGE DART LIMITED 2013 TURBO 1.4 CYLINDER HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS WHEN WE BOUGHT IT IN MAY/2013, COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THE SQUEAKING NOISE, AND DRIVER'S SIDE ELECTRIC WINDOWS NOT WORKING, AFTER ONE YEAR THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP FOR 15 DAYS FOR ENGINE OIL LEAK, AND NOW IS AGAIN IN THE SHOP FOR 5 MONTHS AND NO SOLUTION FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE TECHNICIAN SAID IS WORKING BUT THEY NOT SURE IF IT IS A COMPUTER SOFTWARE OR TRANSMISSION DEFECT. I WANT TO KNOW IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME AND OR PROVIDE ME WITH INFORMATION . THIS CAR DOES NOT REACH ANY STAR. THANKS..
BRAKE POWER ASSIST FAILURE. I HEARD A POP AND THEN THE BRAKES STARTED PUSHING BACK AT ME AND MAKING A HISSING NOISE. I ALMOST DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO STOP AND THE GUY BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME. IF MY ELDERLY MOM WAS DRIVING THERE WOULD BE NO WAY SHE COULD PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE HARD ENOUGH AND WE WOULD HAVE A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM. THESE COMPANIES NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THANKS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND SWITCHED INTO THE PARK POSITION FROM REVERSE, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKED WITHOUT WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT DECELERATE. THE RPMS DECREASED SLOWLY AND THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, BUT THE RPMS REMAINED AT 3,000. THE CONTACT TURNED THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER CONTROL MODULE LOSS COMMUNICATION AND THE SHIFTER CABLE WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING-INTERMITTENT PROBLEM/ISSUE. THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH SYSTEM (MANUAL TRANS) WILL LOSE PRESSURE WHICH MEANS THAT THE CLUTCH PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR AND I CAN'T SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION. AT TIMES IT IS ONLY DOING THIS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING BUT WILL GET PRESSURE AFTER "PUMPING IT UP" A FEW TIMES. IT WILL LOSE PRESSURE AFTER DRIVING FOR A PERIOD OF 15-20 MINUTES MEANING THAT WHEN COMING TO A STOP I AM UNABLE TO DOWNSHIFT. ONCE STOPPED, WHEN IT HAS LOST PRESSURE, IF YOU LEAVE THE TRANSMISSION IN FIRST GEAR, OR REVERSE, IT WILL MOVE WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS PUT INTO THE START MODE WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED! THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ANY FLUID LEAKS OR SIGNS THAT THE LEVEL HAS GONE DOWN. I HAVE SEEN ON A DODGE DART OWNERS WEBSITE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD AS WELL.
WHEN SON ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE PARKING LOT, THERE WAS A MEDIUM "CHUNK" NOISE AND THE BRAKES DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK AT ALL UNTIL HE STOMPED REALLY HARD ON THE PEDAL. HE DROVE HIS 8 MILES HOME SLOWLY, GIVING LOTS OF BRAKING ROOM AS EVERY TIME HE HIT THE BRAKES A HISSING NOISE AND VERY LITTLE BRAKE RESPONSE WAS GIVEN EVEN WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE AS HARD AS HE COULD. WHEN MY HUSBAND DROVE IT INTO THE SHOP, HE SAID IT WAS LIKE THERE WERE NO LONGER POWER STEERING BRAKES. THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED, UNDER WARRANTY STILL, AND SINCE MY SON STEPPED SO HARD ON THE BRAKE, HE ACTUALLY BROKE THE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY AS WELL, WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO STAY ON ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. ALL THAT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, TOO.
WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WILL GET STUCK DOWN AND NOT ENGAGE INTERMITTENTLY. THE CLUTCH PEDAL DROPS TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED AND NOT RETURNING WITHOUT PUMPING THE PEDAL PRIOR TO STARTING THE ENGINE. THIS IS BECOMING COMMON AFTER THE CAR IS NOT IN OPERATION OVERNIGHT
IT HAD RAINED AND I WAS MANEUVERING MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 2013 DODGE DART OUT OF A TIGHT SPOT, WHEN PLACING IN REVERSE AND BREAKING TO CHANGE TO FORWARD, THE ENGINE SHOOK AND FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. I REVVED THE ENGINE TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING. THERE IS VIBRATION THAT YOU CAN FEEL WHEN SITTING AT A LIGHT, POSSIBLY A ROUGH IDLE. U-CONNECT IS NOT WORKING. WHEN MORE THAN ONE THING IS ON, SUCH AS RADIO OR AC, AND YOU GO TO OPEN WINDOW, YOU CAN FEEL A POWER DRAIN. I AM NOT SURE IF ALL THESE THING HAVE TO DO WITH ELECTRICAL, POWER-TRAIN OR BOTH.
WHEN PUTTING MY 2013 DODGE DART INTO REVERSE TO BACK UP IN MY DRIVEWAY I REALIZED I HAD NO BRAKES. THE PEDAL MADE A LOUD WOOSHING NOISE AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A LOT OF AIR COMING OUT. THEN THE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THE CAR DID THE SAME THING IN DRIVE, AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED IN THE SAME MANNER REPEATEDLY.
WHILE WAITING IN A DRIVE THERE LINE, I HEAR A LOUD POP, THEN THERE WERE NO BRAKES. WHEN I DID PRESS THE BRAKES THERE WERE A HISSING NOISE AND THE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPRESS. I WAS TERRIFIED
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON ONE OTHER OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DETAILS OF THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
WE WERE JUST LEAVING ON A WEEKEND TRIP, STOPPED FOR GAS AND STARTED TO PULL OUT FROM DRIVEWAY WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED AND WE ENDED UP HALFWAY IN THE ROAD. THANKFULLY IT WAS CLEAR AT THE TIME AND THANKFULLY WE WERE 3 BLOCKS FROM HOME. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY STIFF AND HAS A WHOOSHING SOUND. I'M SO UPSET WITH THE QUALITY OF THIS CAR. I'VE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH IT SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED IT AND AFTER MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP NONE OF THE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED EXCEPT ONE I FIGURED OUT ON MY OWN. I WILL NOT SUGGEST ANYONE BUY A DART AND EXPECT TO HAVE ALL THESE ISSUES DEALT WITH AT NO COST AS AFTER READING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS I SEE ITS A COMMON ISSUE
WHEN I WENT TO TURN MY CAR ON, WHICH IS A MANUAL, MY CLUTCH PEDAL STAYED ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I COULD NOT TURN THE KEY TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I HAD TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE CLUTCH RELEASED AND I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO TURN MY CAR OFF. WHEN I TRIED AGAIN TO TURN MY CAR ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL ONCE AGAIN STAYED ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE BUT I WAS ABLE TO TURN MY CAR OFF THE SECOND TIME. AND TRY AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL THE CLUTCH WOULD RETURN AFTER I TURNED THE CAR ON
THE CLUSTER THAT HOUSES THE SPEEDOMETER IS WRONG. CURRENTLY THE SPEEDOMETER EVEN READS 20MPH EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS NOT EVEN RUNNING. IT IS HARD TO TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING WITHOUT RELIABLE SPEEDOMETER INFORMATION.
VEHICLE THREW AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE LED DASHBOARD ABOUT SERVICING THE TRANSMISSION. UNABLE TO PLACE CAR IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. AFTER MESSING WITH IT FOR A WHILE (SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF AND TURNING BACK ON, PAUSING FOR A FEW MINUTES) THE VEHICLE WOULD FINALLY WORK AGAIN. THIS SEEMED TO HAPPEN DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR AND TOWARDS WINTER WITH THE RECALL EVENTUALLY TAKING PLACE. (2014). I ARGUED WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO PROVIDE SOMETHING FOR TRANSPORTATION SINCE I HAD NO OTHER OPTIONS. AFTER ARGUING AND FINALLY GETTING A RENTAL THEY OFFERED TO PAY 3 DAYS. IT TOOK THEM MULTIPLE DAYS TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE AND THEY FOUND LOW TRANSMISSION FLUID. THERE WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL AS WELL. THIS YEAR ALMOST 6 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST INCIDENT THE SAME ISSUES ARE OCCURRING. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I CAME ACROSS THE SAME ISSUES. IT TOOK A WEEK TO GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND I HAD TO BORROW A VEHICLE SINCE THE CAR HAS TROUBLE ACCELERATING WITH THESE ISSUES. THEY PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND IT SEEMED TO WORK FOR A WEEK. TODAY THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START BUT THE CARS COMPUTERS TURNED ON. AFTER TESTING DIFFERENT STEPS THE CAR FINALLY TURNED ON BUT THE ACCELERATION IS CLUNKY AND DOESN'T SHIFT APPROPRIATELY.
BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY HARD WITH ACCOMPANYING AIR SOUND. VEHICLE STOPPING WAS DIFFICULT AND USE OF EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NEEDED. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER AS IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. DEALER IS REPLACING MASTER CYLINDER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND ENCOUNTERING A POTHOLE, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO A POLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.
WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDDLE WOULD GO DOWN TO THE FLOOR CAUSING ME TO PUMP BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING OVER 8 MPH, AN AIR HISSING NOISE COULD BE HEARD WHILE DEPRESSING THE SERVICE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. MA 10/16/15 *CN
INTERMITTENTLY, THE CLUTCH PEDAL HAD DROPPED TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED AND NOT RETURNING WITHOUT PUMPING THE PEDAL PRIOR TO STARTING THE ENGINE. THIS WAS BECOMING COMMON AFTER THE CAR WAS NOT IN OPERATION OVERNIGHT BUT ON 6-AUG-15 THE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS PRIOR TO EXITING A LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY WITH THE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR THE ENGINE DID NOT DISENGAGE FROM THE TRANSMISSION OR ALLOW THE SHIFTER TO BE MOVE OUT OF GEAR. IT REQUIRED THE PEDAL TO BE PULLED UP MANUALLY WITH THE TOE OF MY SHOE AND PUMPED BEFORE IT ACTUATED THE CLUTCH AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO STOP. AN ACCIDENT WAS NARROWLY AVOIDED ON INTERSTATE 495 DUE TO THIS FAILURE. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING THE SERVICE BULLETIN M37, TRANSAXIAL SLAVE VALVE DEFECT AND THEY SAID THIS IS A LISTED ISSUE FOR THE CAR/ENGINE BUT NOT FOR THIS VIN. REGARDLESS OF THE BULLETIN'S "COMMITMENT TO SAFETY" THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY TOWING OR REPAIR.
WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR THE CLUTCH PEDAL WILL GET STUCK DOWN AND NOT ENGAGE. IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE IN AUGUST OF 2014 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON ME WHILE AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON, MY TRANSMISSION ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SO I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A PART FOR THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN IN FEBRUARY OF 2015 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF ON ME ONCE AGAIN WHILE STUCK IN TRAFFIC ON THE EXPRESSWAY. WHEN I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. AGAIN, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS AGAIN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE FROM THE PREVIOUS MONTHS BEFORE. ONCE AGAIN I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON MAY OF 2015 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF ON ME FOR THE THIRD TIME WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT BUT THIS TIME MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SMELL LIKE IT WAS BURNING OIL. WHEN I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE, MY OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN MY CAR WAS BEING LOOKED AT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND THEY ALSO STATED THAT " SOMETHING WORSE HAD TO HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE FOR THEM FIX THE PROBLEM." THEY TEST DROVE MY VEHICLE AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE SO IT WAS RETURNED TO ME. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE IF IT KEEPS ON SHUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT AND ALSO SMELLING LIKE BURNING OIL AND FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR THIS LAST VISIT IS REALLY UPSETTING. ALL OF THESE SCENARIOS HAVE HAPPENED IN LESS THAN A YEAR OF PURCHASING MY VEHICLE.THIS IS VERY SCARY AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THIS CAUSES A CRASH OR POSSIBLY DEATH! I SENT A LETTER TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS SITUATION, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS SO SAD.
I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT WHEN I HEARD A POPPING SOUND, AND I TRIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE BUT THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK FOR IT TO STOP.
I WAS HEADED TO THE MALL ON DAY WITH MY FIANCEE AND CHILD AND WHILE PULLING UP APPLYING THE BRAKE AT A RED LIGHT. I HEARD WHAT SOUND LIKE A POP AND MY BREAK PEDAL INSTANTLY BECAME HARD TO PRESS. I HAD TO USE ALMOST ALL MY LEG STRENGTH TO STOP THE CAR (TO BRAKE) BEFORE THE RED LIGHT. VERY WORRIED WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I DRIVE THROUGH AND USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PARK IN YHE PARKING LOT. I REPAIRED IT MYSELF AFTER WAITING ON THE PART THAT WAS ON BACK ORDER FOR 3 WEEKS. I FIXED IT PROPERLY AND 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. 7/30/15 I BELIEVE IT COULD NOW BE THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO MY BOOSTER. I AM GOING TO PULL THE MASTER CYLINDER AND PUT SOME PRESSURE THROUGH IT AND SEE IF IT LEAKS AS I PRESS THE PUSH ROD. I WILL SURELY LET EVERYONE KNOW.
DRIVING VEHICLE AND WHEN ATTEMPTED TO STOP HAD TO USING ER BRAKE DUE TO BRAKE PEDEL NOT DEPRESSING (ISSUED A HISSING NOISE WHEN TOUCHED). DROVE AROUND THE BLOCK AND AT EACH CORNER SAME THING HAPPENED. WHEN PARKED CAR AND OPENED DRIVER'S DOOR, COULD SEE SIGNS OF SOMETHING LEAKING FROM FRONT/DRIVER SIDE OF CAR (APPEARED TO BE FROM A LOCATION IN LINE WITH THE BACK OF THE FRONT TIRES). UPDATE 9/15/15*CW....UPDATED 06/15/16 *BF *CN
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY I FELT A WEIRD POPPING. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A STOP. WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS TO GO AGAIN, THE CAR WOULDN'T RESPOND. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS IN DRIVE AND WOULDN'T GO, SO I PUT IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I THEN TURNED IT BACK ON IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR AND I COULD DRIVE, BUT THE TRANSMISSION KEPT SLIPPING. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID IT JUST NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE, WHICH THEY DID. LESS THEN 24 HOURS LATER IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A MONTH AND NOW I'M STARTING TO THINK THIS IS WHY THE PREVIOUS OWNER TRADED IT IN.
AT 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE I HAD TO BRAKE, MY BREAKS MADE A POPPING NOISE AND AN AIR SOUND, AND DID NOT SLOW THE CAR DOWN AT ALL. I WAS UNABLE TO EVEN MOVE THE BREAK PEDAL, IT WAS RIGID. AT THAT TIME I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH IS COSTING ME $800 OUT OF POCKET AND IT MAY NEED MORE AFTER THAT THEY WONT KNOW UNTIL THEY REPLACE THAT FIRST. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BRAKES IS COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN EVEN THOUGH THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED TO FAR TO MANY PEOPLE AND A RECALL SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE.
WE'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE CAR SINCE DAY ONE OF DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT BUT THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T WANT TO DO THEIR JOB HERE ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO WE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING AND MY FIANCEE HAD THE CAR FLOORED I THOUGHT FOR SURE MY FAMILY WAS GOING TO LOSE THEIR LIVES BECAUSE THE CAR DIDN'T HAVE THE POWER TO SPEED UP ITS NOT THE FIRST TIME AND MY FAMILY LIVES COMES FIRST WE'VE TRIED GETTING IT RESOLVED AND EVEN TRIED TO USE IT AS A TRADE IT AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSE TO EVEN TOUCH IT THE CAR HAD ALREADY 43000 MILES ON IT WHEN WE DROVE IT OFF THE LOT AND 5 DAYS AFTER HAVING IT THE SHIFTER CABLE POPPED OFF AND SINCE THEN ITS BEEN PROBLEMS AFTER PROBLEMS AND THERE'S SO MUCH MORE WRONG WITH IT AND SINCE JUNE ITS BEEN SITTING I REFUSE TO HAVE MY FAMILY HURT DO TO A MALFUNCTIONING CAR MY FIANCEE [XXX] NAME IS ALSO ON THE PAPERWORK FROM DEALERSHIP AMONGST WE'VE CONTACTED ATTORNEY GENERAL DODGE CHRYSLER MOPAR AND DEAL WITH REINKES AND FINDLAY DODGE FOR THINGS ONE THIS CAR.

EL VEHCULO EN MARCHA, SE SIENTE RUIDO Y HALONEO, QUE SE SIENTE COMO SI SE FUERA A APAGAR. EL RADIO SE PUSO NEGRO Y DEJ DE FUNCIONAR. LUEGO EN VARIAS OCASIONES, EL CARRO NO PRENDE. ADEMS EL VEHCULO EN MARCHA, PRENDE EL CHECK ENGINE Y UN MENSAJE "SERVICIO DE TRASMISION".

EN EL DEALER ALEGAN QUE SOLUCIONAN EL PROBLEMA, PERO EL MISMO YA SE HA PRESENTADO EN 3 O 4 OCASIONES. TENGO UN AUTO "LIMON".
I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART RALLYE. I BOUGHT IT USED IN JANUARY 2015. IT HAS THE 1.4 MULTI AIR TURBO WITH 6 SPD MANUAL TRANSMISSION. MY PROBLEM IS JUST ABOUT EVERY MORNING OR AFTER THE CAR SETS FOR A FEW HOURS WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR I PUSH THE CLUTCH PEDAL IN TO START THE CAR AND I GO TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND IT WON'T GO IN GEAR WITH MY CLUTCH PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR TRYS TO MOVE WHEN I TRY TO PUT IT IN GEAR SO I LET OFF THE CLUTCH AND IT STICKS HALF WAY TO THE FLOOR SO I HAVE TO PUMP IT FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES OR UNTIL THE CAR WARMS UP JUST TO PUT IT IN GEAR I DID RESEARCH ON THIS AND APAIRENTLY ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER WANTS TO CHARGE ME JUST TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THIS ISSUE REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.
DRIVING NORMALLY WHEN APPROACHING STOP SIGN, DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL WHEN HEARD SOUND OF WHOOSHING AIR AND PEDAL PUSHED BACK UP. HAD TO REALLY PUSH VERY HARD WITH FOOT ON PEDAL TO GET CAR TO STOP. AND THAT WAS A SLOW STOP. IF I HAD HAD TO STOP SHORT WHEN THIS OCCURED IT WOULD HAVE FAILED AND PROBABLE RESULT WOULD HAVE BEEN A CRASH. LUCKY I WAS IN A RURAL AREA AT THE TIME WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. SO I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME THAT NIGHT. WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT TO DEALER AND WILL HAVE IT TOWED IN. BEEN READING ON-LINE ABOUT IT AND HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND THEY SAY IT IS A BRAKE BOOSTER. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A DEATH OR DEATHS FIRST?
I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART WITH ABOUT 54000 MILES I WAS GOING HOME WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR DIDN'T WANT TO BREAK LUCKY I WASN'T GOING THAT FAST! I HAD TO HIT A CURVE AND PULLED THE PARKING BRAKE FAST SO I WOULDN'T HIT ANOTHER CAR. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND DODGE DOES NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED AND IT'S MY POWER BRAKE BOOSTER THAT WHEN OUT IT DIDN'T TELL ME WHEN IT HAPPEN SO I DIDN'T KNOW I WASN'T GUNNA HAVE NO BRAKES AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE SOME PEOPLE WERE NOT SO LUCKY THAT THEY CRASHED. I REALLY HOPE DODGE DOES A RECALL FAST ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOME ONE REALLY GETS HURT BAD.
2013 DODGE DART BOUGHT NEW FROM DEALER. JUNE 17, 2015 WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH A PARKING LOT A APPROXIMATELY 20MPH AXLE BROKE PULLING IT FROM TRANSMISSION. CV KNUCKLE/JOINT, TIE-ROD ALL BROKE. WHEEL AND TIRE TURNED AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE FROM CAR. LEFT A DIVOT IN CONCRETE WHERE EVERYTHING HIT GROUND. VISUAL ESTIMATE BY DEALER WAS $6,500. NOTHING WAS HIT, NO CURB, NO POT HOLE, SPEED BUMP, OR ANY OTHER OBJECT. POLICE REPORT STATES THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE AREA TO HIT. NO OTHER DAMAGE TO VEHICLE, SUCH AS IMPACT FROM OTHER OBJECTS. SERVICE MANAGER AT DEALERSHIP CAR WAS TAKEN TO SAID THERE WAS SO MUCH DAMAGE HE COULDN'T TELL WHAT BROKE FIRST. CHRYSLER LEGAL SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS TEAM INSPECTED VEHICLE. 3 WEEKS LATER THEY SENT ME A REPORT SAYING IT WAS NOT A MECHANICAL DEFECT AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT REPAIR. THEY INSIST I FILE WITH MY INSURANCE CARRIER. A VEHICLE THAT IS 18 MONTHS OLD WITH ONLY 39,000 MILES SHOULD NOT FALL APART LIKE THAT IF IT DOESN'T STRIKE ANYTHING. I'VE REQUESTED COPY OF REPORT CHRYSLER USED TO MAKE THEIR DECISION.
WHEN GETTING INTO MY CAR IN THE MORNING OR AFTER WORK (ANY TIME THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE), THE CLUTCH PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND DOESN'T COME BACK UP. I CANNOT PUT MY CAR INTO GEAR OR EVEN START THE CAR. I HAVE TO PUMP THE CLUTCH PEDAL FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL I HAVE A LITTLE PRESSURE TO EVEN START MY CAR. MY CAR STALLED OUT TWICE FROM THIS WHEN ENTERING A PARKING GARAGE AND I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 2-3 MILES THE CLUTCH SEEMS TO COME BACK TO NORMAL PRESSURE AND I CAN SHIFT FINE AT THAT POINT.
I NOTICED WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDDLE IT MADE A LOT OF AIR NOISE. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND TRIED TO STOP THE BRAKE WAS VERY HARD TO DEPRESS AND THE CAR TOOK A VERY LONG TIME TO STOP. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR HOPING FOR A DIFFERENT RESULT. AGAIN THE BRAKES MADE A LOT OF AIR NOISE, AND I PRACTICALLY HAD TO STAND ON THE PEDDLE TO GET IT DO DEPRESS, TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP I HAD TO UTILIZE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO GARAGE, THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER, THEN AS THEY PULLED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE, IT FAILED AGAIN. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER AGAIN. ....UPDATED 06/15/16 *BF UPDATED 11/27/2017*CN

WHEN STARTING TO SLIDE ON ICE THE ANTI LOCK BREAKS KICKED IN BUT THE ENGINE STALLED FOR A SECOND AND ALL OF THE ELECTRONIC DASH WENT OUT. NO SPEEDOMETER NO STEREO NOTHING WAS ON IT SEEMED BUT WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKES AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO SLIDE AGAIN EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON.
WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE BRAKES SOUNDED AS IF AIR WERE PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS PRESSURE IN THE PEDAL. I WAS HEADING INTO A CURVE AND COULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I HAD TO PULL THE E BRAKE AND ENDED UP SLIDING INTO A 180 AND SLID OFF THE ROAD. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE! THIS NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO DODGES' ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY! I AM AFRAID OF WHAT THE COST IS TO FIX THIS AND I DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO WORK NOW! THE INFORMATION CENTER ON THE DASHBOARD SAYS "ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYTEM NEEDS TO BE SERVICED". THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM LUCKY I DID NOT GET KILLED OR KILL ANYONE ELSE!
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE IDLING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. FOLLOWING THE FAILURE, THE CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE TRANSMISSION, AND OIL LOW PRESSURE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER FACTORY RESET THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE HYDROLOGICAL PUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,800.

STARTED MY VEHICLE THIS MORNING AND NOTICE THAT ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WENT ON AND STARTED FLASHING,WHICH I HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON 6/13/15 AND HAD IT TOW TO THE DEALER AT WHICH THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A BATTERY FAILURE AND IT WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW BATTERY AND NOW WAITING ON A TOW TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DODGE DEALER.....IM TO SCARE TO TAKE A CHANCE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE CAUSE IT STARTED TO MISSFIRE AND IDLE AND IT SHUT DOWN ON ME.....
THERE WAS A LOUD POPPING SOUND AND EVER SINCE WHENEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED IT SOUNDED LIKE AIR WHOOSHING OUT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THERE WAS BARELY ENOUGH BRAKING FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING AT IDLE. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO MAKE IT HOME. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING (6/22/2015) AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD TO BE REPLACED...UPDATED 08/06/15 *BF...UPDATED 08/12/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT WHAT PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THREE YEARS LATER, WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO INDEPENDENTLY SLIDE TO THE RIGHT. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A POLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE ABS AND ANTI SLIDE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTO BODY REPAIR CENTER FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.
I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH TO START THE ENGINE AND WHEN IT STARTED THE CAR BEGAN TO MOVE EVEN THOUGH THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS FULLY DEPRESSED. I HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF TO STOP THE CAR FROM MOVING AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL REMAINED ON THE FLOOR. AFTER A FEW MORE ATTEMPTS IT STARTED TO WORK CORRECTLY. IT NOW DOES THIS EVERY TIME IT IS PARKED FOR A FEW HOURS. VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER.
I WENT AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR. CAR WOULD NOT START. IT WAS LIKE THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT ENGAGE. RELEASED THE CLUTCH AND RE-ENGAGED, AND IT STARTED. DURING SHIFTS, IT DIDNT WANT TO GO INTO 3 OR 6TH GEARS. IT WAS LIKE THE CLUTCH IS NOT ENGAGING ONCE AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT, PERFORMANCE DODGE, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE ISSUE BUT CHRYSLER STAR WILL NOT FIX IT. I ASKED HOW CAN THEY KNOW THAT THE CLUTCH HAS ISSUES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT. THE EMPLOYEE INFORMED ME THAT THEY ALL ARE LIKE THIS. CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE CLUTCH ISSUES DUE TO ALL THE COMPLAINTS, BUT THEY STILL RISK THE LIVES OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BY NOT REPLACING THE CLUTCH. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY WINDOWS NOT ROLLING UP OR DOWN AND THE RADIO KEEPS RESETTING ITSELF. THEY DO UPDATES, BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE RADIO ISSUE. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT FOR THE UPDATE, THE UPDATE WOULDNT EVEN LOAD TO FIX THE ISSUE. HOW CAN A COMPANY KNOW OF ISSUES BUT REFUSE TO FIX THEM?
2013 DART 2.0 LITER, 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANS. CLUTCH PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE AND WILL NOT DISENGAGE CLUTCH. PULLING THE PEDAL UP WITH FOOT AND PUMPING IT RESTORES FUNCTION UNTIL THE CAR IS PARKED AT WHICH TIME, THE SYSTEM BLEEDS DOWN AGAIN AND THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT DISENGAGING THE CLUTCH. PROBLEM IS MARKEDLY WORSE IN HOT WEATHER. RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER ON RECTIFICATION ACTION IS AWAITING FOLLOWING INQUIRY BY MYSELF.
CAR SOUNDS LIKE STRUTS AND SHOCKS ARE ALREADY GOING OUT. CAR LUNGES FORWARD SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPED. IT CHANGES ROM AUTO TRANSMISSION TO MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON ITS OWN WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL SERVICE PEOPLE JUST LOOK AT YOU LIKE YOUR A IDIOT WHEN YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT ISSUES AND THE LOUD POPPING NOISE IS HORRIBLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER SLAVE CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT 5 MPH, THE CLUTCH FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF REVERSE TO GO INTO FIRST GEAR. THE FAILURE RECURRED ONCE.

THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP REPORT TO: DATE OF INCIDENT: 11/18/2014, NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10659435. 2013 DODGE DART SXT BRAKES HAD FAILED ONCE BEFORE, ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO. BRAKE BOOSTER WAS TO BLAME AND REPLACED BY DEALER. DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST THEY HAD HEARD OF THE PROBLEM AND I TOOK IT AS A FLUKE. YESTERDAY I EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING - POP FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN NO BRAKES. TOWED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR - AGAIN! I BOUGHT THIS CAR TO BE SAFE AND RELIABLE. I LOVE THE CAR, BUT IT'S NEITHER OF THOSE THINGS. THANKFULLY I'VE BEEN LUCKY BOTH TIMES AND I HAVE NOT KILLED MYSELF OR OTHERS WITH THIS DEFECT. THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM NEEDS FOUND AND ADDRESSED ASAP.
THE TURBO CHARGER ON MY 2013 DODGE DART WAS DISCOVERED AS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AND THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE CONTAINING THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER AND OTHERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AFTER THEY INTERMITTENTLY WOULD STOP WORKING. THE TURBO IN THE CAR WAS FIXED BUT THE DEALER (WALSER HOPKINS DODGE) FAILED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE REGARDING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER UNTIL 12,000 MILES LATER.
MY SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER FINALLY GOT FIXED 12,000 MILES AFTER MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALER. I NEED TO BRING IN VIDEO ON MY CELL PHONE OF THE INCIDENT OCCURRING AND COMPLAIN TO DODGE CORPORATE TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER.
I PURCHASED BY VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO AND THE BATTERY, RATHER SUDDENLY, DIED ON ME TURNING ONTO A BUSY STREET CAUSING THE CAR TO STOP WORKING WITHOUT A ROLLING START. UPON INSPECTION OF THE CAR, A MECHANIC AND FRIEND OF MINE FOUND "SHADY" WORK DONE ON CERTAIN PARTS OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I BELIEVE IT WAS INSIDE THE DISTRIBUTION BOX, WAS FOUND WHAT SEEMED TO BE A FUSE ATTACHED TO A CHUNK OF PLASTIC THAT WAS JUST DANGLING IN THE BOX BY JUST THE WIRE AND THE BOX ITSELF HAD BE HELD CLOSED BY ZIP TIES AFTER SEEMINGLY HAVING BEEN FORCED OPEN DURING A PREVIOUS SERVICE. AFTER THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, CAR STILL EXHIBITED PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL REQUIRING ADDITIONAL SERVICE. *TR
THE TURBO CHARGER ON MY 2013 DODGE DART WAS DISCOVERED AS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AND THE INSTRUMENT GAUGE CONTAINING THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER AND OTHERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AFTER THEY INTERMITTENTLY WOULD STOP WORKING. THE TURBO IN THE CAR WAS FIXED BUT THE DEALER (WALSER HOPKINS DODGE) FAILED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE REGARDING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER UNTIL 12,000 MILES LATER.
WHEN FIRST STARTED ON A COOL OR COLD MORNING, THE CLUTCH ON THE 2013 DODGE DART WILL NOT HAVE ANY PRESSURE AND STICK TO THE FLOOR. THE CLUTCH PEDDLE WOULD HAVE TO BE PHYSICALLY PULLED UP FROM THE FLOOR AND PUMPED TO DEVELOP ANY PEDDLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THAT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM NOR WOULD MAKE ANY INDICATION TO MAKE THE REPAIR. THE NEXT WEEK (AROUND MAY 18, 2015), THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WAS PARKED IN FIRST GEAR AND WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS DEPRESSED, THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO PEDDLE. THE CAR STARTED AND BEGAN TO LUNGE FORWARD AND STOPPED. THE CLUTCH ALMOST STUCK TO THE FLOOR. . OTHER TIMES, THE CAR IS PARKED IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR WILL NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THERE IS FLUID VISIBLE ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS SUSPECTED BY THE OWNER TO BE FROM THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND ARE BEING SUED IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OVER OTHER CLAIMS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND THE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE IS INDICATIVE OF A LARGER PROBLEM.
I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY DODGE DART. IT STARTED BACK IN NOVEMBER 2014 WHEN THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND IT SAID SERVICE TRANSMISSION, I HAD IT TOWED AND THEY DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS AN UPDATE ISSUE. THE SECOND TIME THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ONE I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THAT THE UPDATE DIDN'T TAKE, HOURS LATER TOLD ME IT WAS ALL SET TO GO, WENT TO PICK IT UP AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START, DEALER KEPT IT OVER NIGHT, CALLED NEXT DAY AND TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T RECREATE ISSUE AND I NEEDED TO PICK THE CAR UP UNFIXED! COUPLE DAYS LATER THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME BACK, TOOK CAR BACK IN THEY REPLACED THE TCM. THEY CAR STILL SHIFTS HORRILE, THE CAR STARTS SHIFTING GEARS WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, AND MOST RECENTLY THE CAR HAS STARTED NOT KNOWING WHAT GEAR ITS IN AND JUST SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL, WHICH IS PRETTY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING!!!! DEALER CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT....OVER ALL I HATE DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL AND I FEEL LIKE I HAVE NO PLACE TO TURN WITH THE DEALER I AM WORKING WITH AS THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM.
ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING NOTICED A FAILURE IN POWER WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS FELT NO GO WITH THE TURBO. STOPPED TO HAVE VEHICLE CHECKED AT ADVANCE AUTO DIAGNOSTIC INDICATOR STATED TURBO FAILURE. VEHICLE HAD NOT REACHED 36000 MILES.
MY SON WAS DRIVING AND HE PARALLEL PARKED SO HE COULD RUN INTO A STORE. I STAYED IN THE CAR. WHEN HE RETURNED HE PUT IT IN GEAR AND SIGNALLED TO PULL OUT. SUDDENLY, THERE WAS A LOUD POPPING SOUND AND WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AIR WHOOSHING OUT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. HE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKE AND HE SAID IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS STOPPING IT FROM GOING DOWN. IN FACT, HE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO CHECK. EVERY TIME HE ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE PEDAL, IT MADE THE AIR SOUND AGAIN. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ONLY A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM HOME. WE DROVE SLOWLY, RUNNING STOP SIGNS AND USING THE E-BRAKE AND DOWNSHIFTING WHEN NECESSARY. CALLED THE DEALER. THEY SENT A FLAT DECK TO PICK IT UP. THEY TELL US THAT FLUID LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. OUR NEW CAR IS NOW IN THE SHOP FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG. WE BOUGHT A NEW CAR SO THESE KINDS OF THINGS WOULDN'T HAPPEN. NOW WE ARE CARLESS, WITH A BUSY, FULL WORK WEEK FOR US BOTH COMING UP. MY HUSBAND REQUIRES A RELIABLE CAR FOR HIS WORK. WHAT IS DODGE GOING TO DO TO REIMBURSE US FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND POTENTIAL DANGER THEY PUT US IN WITH THIS DEFECT?....UPDATED 06/15/16 *BF
I PURCHASED MY 2013 DODGE DART ON AUGUST 9, 2013 FROM FEDERICO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP IN WOOD RIVER IL. WITHIN 4 MOS ON DECEMBER 11, 2013, I HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP BECAUSE MY MIDDLE CONSOLE WAS INOP. AFTER CHECKING IT THEY DETERMINED THE CONSOLE NEEDED REPLACING. TWO MONTHS LATER ON FEBRUARY 11, 2014 I HAD MY CAR IN A SECOND TIME FOR MIDDLE CONSOLE. THIS TIME THEY INSTALLED AN INTEGRATED STACK. THEN, 9 MOS LATER ON NOVEMBER 21, 2014 A THIRD TIME I HAD MY CAR IN AGAIN FOR MIDDLE CONSOLE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. THIS WAS MY FIRST CONTACT TO DODGE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WAS ASSIGNED A CUSTOMER CARE MANAGER. I ASKED IF MY CAR WOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR LEMON LAW AND WAS TOLD CHRYSLER WAS INTERSTED IN BUYING MY CAR BACK AND WAS GIVEN A MOPAR WARRANTY IN DEDUCTIBLE OF $100 AND AT TIME CAR HAD OVER 34,000 AND WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 60,000. THEN JUST THIS PAST APRIL 2ND OF 2015 I HAD MY CAR IN SHOP AT CASSENS AND SONS IN EDWARDSVILLE, IL AGAIN BECAUSE MIDDLE CONSOLE WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. THEY DOWNLOADED AN UPDATE PER STAR. I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR $100 DEDUCTIBLE. I THEN WENT ON A TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS, LA AND WHILE ON MY TRIP THE MIDDLE CONSOLE WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AGAIN WAS ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE ISSUE. SO, I TOOK MY CAR IN ON APRIL 29TH THE SOONEST I COULD GET IT IN AND AFTER 8 HOURS AT SERVICE WAS CALLED AND TOLD THAT STAR COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT WAS HAPPENING AND SINCE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM NOT TO REPLACE ANY NEW PARTS. AFTER HEARING THIS NEWS I WAS CALLED AND JOHN CUSTOMER CARE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER WOULDN'T INIATATE THE LEMON LAW THAT I WOULD TO DO SO.
THE FUSE THAT POWERS THE REAR BACKUP CAMERA FAILED TWICE WITHIN ONE YEAR. THIS PARTICULAR FUSE IS BURIED SOMEWHERE IN THE DASH AND REQUIRES TREMENDOUS TIME AND EFFORT TO CHANGE. LUCKILY I WAS UNDER WARRANTY BOTH TIMES BUT NO MORE. I AM CONCERNED IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY.
THE HORN FAILS TO HONK QUICKLY AND RELIABLY WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL HORN SWITCH IS PRESSED. TO EXPLAIN WHAT THIS IS LIKE, WHEN YOU WANT TO "DOUBLE TAP" THE HORN TO SIGNIFY TO A FRIEND IN A PARKING LOT, OR AS OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING TO SIGNAL TO ANOTHER DRIVER A "DOUBLE QUICK HONK" OF CONCERN. IF THE HORN SOUNDS, ITS EITHER A SINGLE SHORT BLAST OR EXTRA LONG BLAST. THE CAUSE OF THIS, IS THAT THE HORN SWITCH GOES TO ONE DBUS CONTROLLER THAT MUST CYCLE THROUGH THE INPUTS, ONCE THIS FIRST CONTROLLER SEES THE HORN SWITCH ACTIVE *IT* THEN SENDS A SIGNAL ON TO ANOTHER CONTROL MODULE, THIS ONE TOO OPERATES ON A DATABUS/SCAN TYPE SYSTEM, AND SO HAS TO CYCLE THROUGH ITS INPUTS UNTIL IT HAPPENS UPON THE "HORN SWITCH ACTIVE" SIGNAL, AND THEN THE SECOND MODULE ACTIVATES THE HORN RELAY TO SEND CURRENT TO THE HORN. BECAUSE BOTH DATABUSS SCANS ARE SO SLOW, IT EITHER MISSES THE HORN PRESS INITIALLY, OR WHEN IT PICKS UP ON THE HORN SWITCH PRESS, IT FAILS TO SEE THE SWITCH HAS BEEN RELEASED FOR UNTIL THE 1ST MODULE HAS CYCLED BACK TO THE INPUT, .. AND AGAIN THE SAME HAPPENS WITH THE 2ND MODULE. IN THREE CASES NOW, ITS CAUSED ROAD RAGE, WHEN THE OTHER DRIVER THOUGH I WAS "LAYING ON" THE HORN, WHEN ALL I ATTEMPTED WAS A DOUBLE TAP, BECAUSE THEY WERE ENCROACHING ON MY LANE AS I WAS PASSING AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY DIDN'T HIT ME. THE HORN IS AN INSTRUMENT FOR WARNING, AND ITS OBVIOUS WHEN SOMEONE ATTEMPTS TO PISS SOMEONE ELSE OFF BY HOLDING DOWN ON THE HORN SWITCH .. WHERE A DOUBLE TAP IS USUALLY TAKEN AS A CAUTIONARY ALERT, AND FOR THE HORN NOT TO FUNCTION RELIABLY EVERY TIME AND WITH THE SPEED THAT A HUMAN CAN PRESS THE HORN SWITCH, IS AN ABSOLUTE FAILURE ON DODGE'S PART TO HAVE A SAFETY DEVICE OPERATING PROPERLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY, ALL THE TIME, AND I'M TOLD BY OTHERS, THAT ITS LIKE THIS NOW ACROSS ALL OF DODGE'S FLEET, THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED!
CLUTCH PEDAL DEPRESSED AND WOULD NOT RETURN TO NORMAL POSITION. PRESSING DOWN ON CLUTCH PEDAL WOULD NOT DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH FROM THE FLYWHEEL SO CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO MOVE FORWARD REQUIRING FOOT MORE STRONGLY ON THE BRAKES. THIS WASN'T THE ONLY TIME, AND SEEMS TO OCCUR AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING A FEW HOURS. ITS GETTING FREQUENT ENOUGH THAT I'M GOING TO TRY TO TRADE THE VEHICLE IN. I DON'T TRUST CHRYSLER/DODGE PRODUCTS ANY MORE AND THEIR QUALITY IS GOING DOWN HILL WITH THEIR DRIVE BY WIRE VEHICLES. FOR THE RECORD, 90% OF MY MILEAGE IS ALL HIGHWAY AND I DON'T "POP" THE CLUTCH TO PEAL OUT AT STOP LIGHTS AND THE LIKE. SEARCHES OF THE INTERNET ARE FINDING MORE AND MORE POSTS WITH CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.
I WENT TO GET IN MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AND WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THE CLUTCH PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT COME BACK UP. THE VEHICLE GOT STUCK IN FIRST GEAR UNTILL I MANUALLY BENT DOWN AND PULLED THE CLUTCH PEDAL UP AND TURNED THE CAR OFF SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN I SOPKE TO DODGE THEY ACTED LIKE THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE (WHICH I KNOW IS NOT TRUE FROM VARIOUS FORUMS AND COMPLAINTS IVE SEEN). NOW I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFTEY OF THE CAR BECASUE IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE IM ON THE ROAD AND NOT PARKED I OR SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE DODGE DEALER I SPOKE WITH SAID TO FIX THE ISSUE I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER, SLAVE CYLINDER, AND REPLACE THE CLUTCH. I DONT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED.

AS I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, MY CAR LOST POWER AND DID A HALF SHUT OFF (LOST POWER ITEMS, BUT DID NOT ACTUALLY LOCK THE STEERING OUT AS IF THE CAR WAS IN PARK). I WAS STILL MOVING AND WAS DOING APPROX. 20-25 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MY POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC WERE ALL LOST AND THERE WAS AN OVERWHELMING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEREO SYSTEM (SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB GOING OFF IN THE CAR.). I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STOPPED AND PULLED OVER TO A TURN LANE THAT WAS NOT IN USE WITHOUT GETTING HIT. ONCE I GOT THE CAR STOPPED, IT STARTED BACK UP AND I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST ISSUE WITH THE CAR. IT ALSO HAS HAD 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION' ERRORS AND GAVE US NUMEROUS ISSUES ON CHRISTMAS DAY AS IT WOULD NOT START WHEN WE WERE HEADED HOME. EACH TIME, THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 92 DAYS WHILE THEY REWIRED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE, EVEN AFTER HAVING THE ELECTRICAL REWIRED, THE CAR IS STILL SENDING ERROR MESSAGES AND NOW SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING IT. THESE NEED TO BE RECALLED. *TR
THE BRAKE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AT 50 MPH, I FEARED FOR MY LIFE IT IS ONE OF THE SCARIEST THINGS I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH, I AM LUCKY I AM ABLE TO WRITE THIS LETTER TO YOU. THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO DAYTON ANDREWS IS THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER FLUID LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH EVENTUALLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD MY DODGE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36,000 YET THERE WAS 36,920 ON THE CAR. THIS WAS MOST DEFINITELY A RECALL OR AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE DODGE WARRANTY. NO NORMAL CAR AT 36,920 HAS THAT HAPPEN UNTIL THERE WAS INITIAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. ....UPDATED 06/15/16 *BF *TR UPDATED 10/11/2017*CN
WHEN WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR, IT WILL START TO SHUDDER WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND WITHIN A MINUTE THE ABS SYSTEM WILL TURN ON. WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM TURNS ON, YOU CAN ACTUALLY FEEL THE BRAKING TRYING TO STOP THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS, FROM 20 TO 30 MPH UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS AT 70 MPH. YOU CANNOT SHUT OF THE ABS SYSTEM WITH THE SAFETY SWITCH WHEN IT TURNS ITSELF ON. WE HAVE PULLED OVER, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THIS DOES NOT ALWAYS SEEM TO WORK. WE HAVE TURNED OFF THE ABS SYSTEM WHEN WE HAVE STARTED THE CAR, BUT THE COMPUTER IN THE ENGINE WILL OVERRIDE THIS AND HAS TURNED IT BACK ON. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, IT STARTS TO TRY BRAKING AGAIN WHILE WE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED, BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN SOLVING THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS CALLED CHRYSLER TO FIND OUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY WERE TOLD TO CHANGE THE IGNITION COIL POWER PACK, WHICH THEY DID. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO US, IT STARTED THIS SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THE LAST TIME WE TOOK IT IN (APRIL 2015) THE DEALERSHIP KEPT IT FOR TWO WEEKS AND WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS DONE THIS TO US TWICE, BUT BEFORE WE COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, IT CORRECTED ITSELF. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM? *TR
I WAS REAR-ENDED PURPOSEFULLY WHILE TRAVELING 55MPH ON A HIGHWAY. THE OTHER DRIVER REAR-ENDED ME, BACKED OFF, AND THEN PUSHED ME DOWN THE ROAD. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND I SUFFERED A NECK AND BACK INJURY. NOW I SEE THERE IS A RECALL (13V555000) WHICH IS A CAUSE FOR FAULTY AIR BAGS, WHICH MY CAR WAS NOT PUT ON THE LIST AS. *TR
I ALWAYS LET MY CAR WARM UP, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S COLD. THE WEATHER STARTED TO GET BETTER AND TWICE I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR ALMOST STALLED. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUMP THE GAS TO STOP IT FROM STALLING COMPLETELY. I KNOW IT'S NOT THE GAS BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WITHIN TWO DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS. AT THE TIME THE TEMP WAS IN THE LOW 30'S. I ALSO NOTICE WHEN IT'S VERY COLD THE CAR MAKES A SCREECH WHEN IT'S STARTED. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A POWER TRAIN RECALL (N32) MY VIN HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE DOWN THE STREET AND STALL WITH MY TWO-YEAR-OLD IN IT. *TR
CLUTCH WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND HAD TO VEER CAR INTO A TERRAIN IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING RUN OVER BY DUMP TRUCK DIRECTLY BEHIND. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND CAR IS FAIRLY NEW. (WAS PURCHASED NEW). QUICK INVESTIGATION, AND THERE IS A LAW SUIT WITH CHRYSLER INDICATING THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS DEFECT BUT THEIR DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT AND REFUSED TO REPAIR WITHOUT CHARGING. INSISTED I TAKE CAR TO ANOTHER PLACE THAT REALLY WORKS ON DODGES (???). THIS LOST OF GEAR SHIFTING IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED! UNFORTUNATELY IT IS HARD TO REACH ME BY TELEPHONE BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE SOME DETAILS AS TO HOW TO HANDLE THIS ISSUE. I HAD AN INDEPENDENT DEALER "WHO REALLY WORKS ON DODGES" TO REPAIR AND THEY CONFIRMED THE CLUTCH WAS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSED IT TO CRASH AND BURN. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW DART, 2013 LIMITED 1.4 TURBO (MANUAL) AND WHEN I SAY NEW, IT HAD TO BE BUILT BECAUSE THERE WERE'T ANY ON THE LOTS YET. I ALWAYS FELT THE CAR LACKED POWER BUT ASSUMED IT WAS JUST THE WAY THE CAR WAS. GETTING OUT OF 1ST GEAR WAS REALLY TOUGH. AROUND 6K, AFTER A LONG ROAD TRIP, I STARTED TO HEAR A GRINDING NOISE WHEN CUTTING THE WHEEL AND THROTTLING IN 1ST GEAR OR REVERSE, BASICALLY PARALLEL PARKING. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR ITS 1ST MAJOR TUNE UP AND MENTIONED IT AND THEY SAID THE DIDN'T HEAR THE NOISE ( I ALSO MENTIONED THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD NOT GO AWAY) THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS GONE BUT SOON TO RETURN. AT 9K, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AGAIN FOR THE SAME ISSUES! AIR BAG LIGHT GONE (SOON TO RETURN) BUT THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HEAR THE NOISE. AT 19K I WAS FUMING AND GOT THEM TO GO ON A TEST DRIVE WITH ME AND THEY HEARD THEY NOISE! THEY TRIED TO SAY IT WAS THE CA INTAKE I PUT IN, BUT I ASSURED THEM IT WASN'T AND GAVE THEM THE OEM PART TO PROVE THEM WRONG. LOW AND BEHOLD AFTER A WEEK THEY COME BACK WITH "CLUTCH BEARINGS"! I GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT FEELS LIKE A- BRAND NEW CAR!! IT'S AMAZING! IT HAS POWER, PICK UP, THE CLUTCH IS MUCH EASIER TO WORK AND NO NOISE! I WAS STARTLED BY THE POWER! THIS IS THE CAR I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS ECONOMY I'VE WASTED AFTER 19K, BUT I'M JUST GLAD TO FINALLY HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED! I REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS THOSE OUT THERE SO IF YOU HAVE A MANUAL SHIFT AND NO POWER/PICK-UP OUT OF 1ST, INSIST THEY CHECK THE CLUTCH BEARINGS! NOW LET'S HOPE THE AIRBAG LIGHT DOESN'T COME BACK ON. *TR
WE HAVE A DODGE DART, 2013 THAT HAS TWICE LOST ITS TRANSMISSION WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND WILL NOT MOVE, COAST TO A STOP. ONE TIME ON 95 JUST SOUTH OF NEW HAVEN CONN. AND YESTERDAY ON I75 NEAR GAINESVILLE FLA. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE CHECKED AND SEE IF SOMEONE IS NOT COVERING THIS UP. IT CREATES A REAL FIASCO WHEN IN THE LEFT LANE IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY LOSE ALL POWER. PEOPLE WILL BE DYING IF THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE TRANSMISSION QUITTING TWICE IN 29000 MILES IS NOT JUST HAPPENSTANCE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
I STARTED HAVING HEADACHES SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE (2013 DODGE DART). THE HEADACHES CONTINUED TO WORSEN, SO I FINALLY WENT TO THE DOCTOR, HAD CT SCAN AND WAS FINALLY DIAGNOSED WITH HAVING MIGRAINES. I WASN'T AWARE THAT IT WAS THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIR FOR RECIRCULATING AIR ISSUES AND I DIDN'T DRIVE IT FOR A WEEK (DECEMBER 2014). ONCE WE RECEIVED THE CAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP (NOT FIXED) I WAS REALLY SICK (HORRIBLE MIGRAINE) THE NEXT DAY DUE TO THE FUMES. I HAVEN'T RODE IN THE CAR SINCE DECEMBER 19, 2014. I HAVEN'T HAD A MIGRAINE SINCE AROUND DECEMBER 20-21, 2014. THE CAR WAS DROPPED OFF ON JANUARY 2, 2015 BY MY HUSBAND BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TO HAVE THE RECIRCULATE AIR FIXED. THE VEHICLE WAS READY ON JANUARY 8, 2015 BUT WAS NOT PICKED UP UNTIL JANUARY 9, 2015. ON JANUARY 9, 2015, MY HUSBAND PICKED THE CAR UP AND DROVE IT AROUND FOR LITTLE WHILE. HE THEN WENT TO PICK OUR DAUGHTER UP FROM SCHOOL AND SHE BEGIN COUGHING IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE RECIRCULATE AIR WENT OUT AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS VEHICLE AND TO NO AVAIL. I CONTACTED THEM TODAY (JANUARY 9, 2015) AND THEY WANTED US TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I GUESS THEY WANT THE FUMES TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO PASS OUT ALONG THE WAY. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HAVING A CASE MANAGER REVIEW MY COMPLAINT, HOWEVER, I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT I CANNOT DRIVE. I CONTACTED THE LIENHOLDER TO SURRENDER THE VEHICLE ON MARCH 5, 2015. *TR
BATTERY IS FAULTY WHEN IT IS SLIGHTLY CHARGED THE CAR WILL TURN ON AND SEND THE GAUGES FLIPPING OVER TO THE RIGHT AND BACK TO THE LEFT AGAIN WHILE THE ENGINE REEVES. WHEN THE BATTERY IS TOTALLY DEAD THE CAR WONT TURN ON AT ALL. WHEN THE BATTERY IS ALMOST DEAD THE DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK WITHOUT USING THE KEY AND THEN THAT SETS OFF THE ALARM. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE ENGINE WAS ON AND THE DRIVER WAS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED FROM PARK TO REVERSE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE JUMPED A CURB AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE CONTACT DID NOT DISCLOSE IF A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,306.
PURCHASED CAR BRAND NEW. HAVE DRIVEN MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS FOR 40 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER RUINED A CLUTCH OR ANY PART OF THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS DRIVING ALL THE ROAD AND GOING UP A HILL AND ATTEMPTED TO DOWNSHIFT TO GET UP THE STEEP HILL. THE CLUTCH WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THE SHIFTER WOULDN'T ALLOW ANY SHIFTING. I VEERED OFF THE ROAD AND CALL TOW TRUCK. I HAD CAR TOWED TO LANDMARK DODGE, MORROW, GA 30260, AND AFTER WEEKS THEY SAY THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WAS BURNED UP AND BROKEN INTO PIECES?? WELL, 1ST WEEK THEY ORDERED WRONG PART, 3 WEEK THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND TODAY (4 WEEKS LATER) THEY SAID THEY FEEL IT IS A CASE OF CUSTOMER ABUSE AND WANT 1500.00 TO REPAIR. I TOLD THEM UP FRONT A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN LOOKED AT THE ISSUE PRIOR TO ME HAVING PULLED TO THEM AND HE SAID, "THIS IS DEFECTIVE". HE ALSO PRINTED OUT INFO FROM THE INTERNET OF OTHER DODGE DART 2012-2013 WITH THE VERY SAME ISSUE. CLUTCH TO THE FLOOR, AND EVEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT. I WILL HAVE TO GET IT FIXED (BUT NOT AT LANDMARK). [XXX] @1-800-992-1997 CHRYSLER, TOOK [XXX] ' , SERVICE DIRECTOR, LANDMARK DODGE, WORD THAT IT LOOKS LIKE I BURNED UP THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE IT TOWED, AT MY EXPENSE, TO ANOTHER DODGE DEALER BECAUSE LANDMARK WASN'T CERTIFIED TO WORK ON DODGES. I KEEP THINKING ABOUT THE DUMP TRUCK RIGHT ON MY REAR WHO NEARLY RAN ME OFF THE ROAD DUE TO LOSS IN SHIFTING POWER. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN LETHAL AND OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
SMELLING COOLANT FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I DON'T SEE A SIGN . IT DOESN'T SMELL NEAR OVER FLOW. *TR
WHILE PULLED OVER IN A PARKING LOT, I HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. AS I MOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE ENGINE QUITE RAPIDLY REVVED TO THE POINT THAT IT BURIED THE TACHOMETER'S NEEDLE. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN AND THE CABIN WAS FILLED WITH THE SMELL OF BURNT TRANS-AXLE FLUID. WHEN I RE-STARTED THE ENGINE, IT WAS PERFECT AGAIN. THE VEHICLE DID NOT LUNGE FORWARD, SO THE TRANS-AXLE APPEARED TO IGNORE THAT IT WAS IN DRIVE. I HAVE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP TO REPORT THE INCIDENT AND SEE IF THEY KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT A RUMORED SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE VEHICLE. *TR
I KEPT SMELLING EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE OF THE CABIN OF VEHICLE. I NOTICED THEM MOSTLY AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND THEN ACCELERATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS JUST NEW CAR BURN OFF. THE FINAL STRAW WAS SOMETIME I BELIEVE IN APRIL ON RAINY DAY. THE FUMES WERE SO BAD THEY WERE BURNING MY EYES AND MAKING ME SICK. TOOK IT TO A FRIEND AND THEY SAID GET TO SHOP IMMEDIATELY. DEALER DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN THERE AND HE SHOWED THEM A DART FORUM STATING THE ISSUE WAS A CLAMP NOT WELDED PROPERLY. THEY THEN FOUND THE LEAK AND FIXED IT. *TR
THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT I HAVE FILED ON THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED AND THAT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT THE CASE. WENT TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START OR TURN OVER. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED BUT THE CEL WAS ILLUMINATED AND THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFT WERE RED. JUST AS LAST TIME THE DEALER HAD NO ANSWERS FOR ME. I STARTED DOING MY ON RESEARCH AND BLOGGING AND SPOKE TO MORE THAN TWO OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAS SAME ISSUE. THEY BOTH ADVISED IT WAS THE TCM. I CALLED AND TOLD MY SERVICE ADVISOR AND HE TOLD ME THAT WAS NOT CORRECT. I THEN PROVIDED HIM WITH AN INVOICE NUMBER AND DEALERSHIP NAME WHERE ONE OF THE PEOPLE TOLD ME THEIR CAR WAS FIXED. WHEN I CALLED BACK LATER THE ADVISOR TOLD ME I WAS CORRECT AND THEY WOULD BE REPLACING THE TCM. *TR
I STOPPED AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF. IT WOULD NOT START OR EVEN TURN OVER. TRIED WITH REMOTE AND KEY BOTH. EVENTUALLY STARTED BUT CEL WAS ILLUMINATED. THE LIGHTS ON THE GEARSHIFT WERE ALSO ILLUMINATED RED. TOOK THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM. WHEN I PICKED IT UP THEY DROVE IT ONTO SHOP FLOOR AND TURNED IT OFF. IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THEY SAID THERE WAS A LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH TCM. ADVISED THEY DID PROXY ALIGNMENT (ALIGNED ALL MODULES INLINE WITH EACH OTHER). I KNEW THIS WAS NOT GOING TO WORK AND HAD MORE ISSUES WITH VEHICLE NOT STARTING. *TR
ON 12/16/2014 THE VEHICLE FLASHED A "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" INDICATOR UPON TURNING THE CAR OFF THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND THE GEAR INDICATORS ALL TURNED RED SHOWING NO AVAILABLE GEARS. AFTER A SHORT TIME WITH THE VEHICLE OFF THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN BUT THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WAS ON. IT WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL SERVICE CENTER WHERE THEY STATED THAT IT NEEDED SOME REPROGRAMMING. ON 01/22/2015 THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK IN FOR SERVICE. UPON LOOKING AT THE CAR I WAS INFORMED NO INDICATORS WERE SHOWING AND THEIR WERE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES (SOMEHOW THE CAR MYSTERIOUSLY LOST THEM). 01/25/2015 THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN AND IS PRESENTLY AWAITING SERVICE. *TR
I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 40 MPH AND ABRUPTLY THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE CLUTCH WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO CHANGED GEARS OR MOVE. I ALLOWED IT TO VEER TO THE SIDE TO ESCAPE BEING REAR ENDED OR CRASHED FROM BEHIND. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THIS CAR. *TR
DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM SNAPPED IN TWO CAUSING THE WHEEL/TIRE TO DISENGAGE, TURNING TO A 90 DEGREE ANGLE TO THE VEHICLE, WHICH BECAME INOPERABLE. HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 13 DAYS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. INCIDENT IS NOW BEING INVESTIGATED BY CHRYSLER. *TR
I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN 1ST GEAR TO GO THE SHIFTER WENT ALL THE WAY TO REVERSE, I DID NOT PULL THE REVERSE SLIDE SELECTOR (NOT SURE WHAT IT IS OFFICIALLY CALLED, NORMALLY YOU HAVE TO PULL UP ON IT TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS REVERSE GEAR). I WAS LUCKY TO REALIZE IT BEFORE I STARTED LETTING OUT THE CLUTCH AS THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO FIND FIRST GEAR AND START MOVING, I.E. GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE CARS BEHIND ME. THEN AS I WAS DOWN SHIFTING AT THE NEXT LIGHT I COULDN'T FIND 2ND OR FIRST GEAR, HOWEVER IT WOULD GO INTO REVERSE, AGAIN, WITHOUT PULLING UP THE SLIDE SELECTOR THAT SHOULD STOP THE SHIFTER FROM GOING ALL THE WAY OVER. I GOT THE CAR HOME AND POPPED THE BOOT OFF THE GEAR SHIFT AND THERE IS A CABLE HANGING FREE, IT APPEARS TO BE WHAT SHOULD BE CONTROLLING THE REVERSE GEAR SELECTOR. THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, HAD I LET THE CLUTCH OUT I WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME. IF YOU ARE DRIVING THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ATTEMPT TO DOWNSHIFT THE CAR AND END UP IN REVERSE YOU COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, OR WORSE, KILL SOMEONE. I INTEND TO NOTIFY MY DEALER ON MONDAY, HOWEVER AS THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
2013 DODGE DART EQUIPPED WITH A 1.4-LITER ENGINE AND DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION HAD 3 INCIDENTS ON 2 DIFFERENT DAYS - SAFETY HAZARD! FAULTY MECHANICS! *TR 1/13 - VEHICLE STALLED WHEN TURNING RIGHT ONTO ON-RAMP AT INTERSTATE GOING 35MPH, TOOK SEVERAL TRIES TO GET VEHICLE RESTARTED 1/14 - VEHICLE STALLED WHEN TURNING RIGHT ONTO OUTER ROAD GOING 45MPH, ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED! 1/14 - VEHICLE STALLED AFTER TURNING RIGHT FROM ON-RAMP AT INTERSTATE GOING 70MPH, ALMOST GOT HIT! WE RESEARCHED ISSUES AND FOUND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT I WASN'T NOTIFIED AS MY VIN WASN'T ON THE RECALL LIST. WHAT?! I ENCOUNTERED TWO CLOSE CALLS AND WHEN CALLING CHRYSLER WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO IF MY VIN WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I DON' GET IT, I THOUGHT THE MANUFACTURER OR NHTSA COULD PUT A VIN ON THE RECALL LIST. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET MY VEHICLE ON THIS LIST? DO I NEED A LAWYER TO DO THIS? PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHAT MY NEXT STEPS ARE TO GET MY VIN ON THE RECALL LIST. SERIOUSLY DISSATISFIED *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE OR DURING COLD WEATHER TEMPERATURES, THE CLUTCH FAILED TO SHIFT PROPERLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE PUMPED IN ORDER TO SHIFT PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.
WHILE TRAVELING AT A STEADY 45 MPH WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN "DRIVE", THE VEHICLE SOUNDED AN AUDIBLE ALERT. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED A MESSAGE THAT SAID "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AT THIS POINT, I FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER POWER AND WAS ACTING AS THOUGH IT HAD SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. I PULLED FROM THE ROADWAY. WHILE STOPPED, I SHIFTED THE VEHICLE TO PARK. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY ADVISED ME TO SHIFT THE CAR TO NEUTRAL AND THEN TO DRIVE OR REVERSE. INITIALLY, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO COMPLETE THIS STEP, I RECEIVED AN ALERT SAYING "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE". AFTER COMPLETING THIS PROCESS SEVERAL TIMES OVER 10 MINUTES, I GOT MY GEARS BACK AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY PERFORMED TROUBLESHOOTING. THE CODES REPORTED BY THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED "NEUTRAL ENGAGEMENT" AND "MULTIPLE GEAR SELECTION" BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO NO FIX WAS ATTEMPTED. THEY CLEARED THE CODES AND RETURNED THE CAR TO ME. THE VEHICLE IS THE 1.4L TURBO ENGINE WITH THE DUAL DRY CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. A REVIEW OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE INDICATES THAT IN ADDITION TO MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA THERE ARE A NUMBER OF BLOG ENTRIES AND FORUMS ON THE TOPIC. IN FACT, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED DURING A TEST DRIVE BY CAR REVIEWER FOR YAHOO. THIS PROBLEM CREATES A SIGNIFICANT DANGER TO NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME. HAD THE TRANSMISSION FAILED UNDER ACCELERATION INTO TRAFFIC IT COULD HAVE BEEN QUITE DANGEROUS. I FEEL LIKE I GOT LUCKY IN THIS SITUATION THAT IT HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING IN AN AREA WHERE IT WAS SAFE TO PULL OFF WITHOUT POWER. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.
I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER ON DECEMBER 13, 2014 FOR AN OIL CHANGE BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER THE OIL CHANGE WAS COMPLETED AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR BEGAN JERKING TO THE LEFT. I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH ANOTHER DODGE DEALER TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SPEED SENSOR WAS BROKEN. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE NO CHARGE FOR THE REPLACEMENT. AFTER FIXING THE SENSOR THE DEALER NOTIFIED ME THAT THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. THEY SPOKE TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WERE TOLD THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED TO KEEP MY CAR OVER THE WEEKEND AND THAT CHRYSLER OFFERED ME A LOANER CAR WHILE THE REPAIR IS BEING DONE. *TR
I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND A BURNING SMELL HAPPENING. IN OCTOBER THE DEALER REPLACED THE TCM AT 33,000 MILES AND STATED I WAS LUCKY TO BE UNDER WARRANTY SINCE IT WOULD COST $600+ OUT OF POCKET. NOW ON CHRISTMAS MORNING I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE, AND AUTOSTICK NOT AVAILABLE MESSAGE DISPLAY. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP HOME TO HAVE R, N, D SHOW GEAR NOT AVAILABLE. AFTER WAITING I TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE MESSAGES CLEARED. THEN 2 DAYS LATER I WAS AN HOUR LATE TO WORK SINCE THE MESSAGES AND SHIFTING PROBLEM OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY. DURING TRAFFIC STOPPAGES I COULD NOT GET UP TO SPEED FAST ENOUGH AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE MESSAGE AND ISSUE CLEARED AGAIN WHEN I LEFT WORK AND I DROVE HOME BUT NOW IT SHIFTS AT 5,000+ RPM WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP SIGN. BURNING SMELL IS BACK AND CAR IS SLUGGISH. SEEMS LIKE CHRYSLER IS WAITING FOR ENOUGH PEOPLE TO DIE BEFORE ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. CURRENTLY HAVE 39,000 MILES ON CAR. BEFORE THE ISSUE IN OCTOBER THERE WAS ALSO A "SOFTWARE UPDATE" FOR THIS AFTER I HAD IT ABOUT A WEEK WITH 500-600 MILES AROUND MID AUGUST 2013. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW TO HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION FOR WORK. NOW IT SEEMS I HAVE AN UNRELIABLE CAR WITH LOAN PAYMENTS AND DEALER SERVICE COSTS SINCE CHRYSLER DOESN'T COVER TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY APPARENTLY. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,900.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A GLITCH WITH THE SOFTWARE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TWO FRONT TIRE SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150.
WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SOUNDS AN AUDIBLE ALERT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON, AND DISPLAYS "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" ON THE CAR'S DASH/DISPLAY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR DROPS INTO NEUTRAL AND I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ANY GEARS. ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE DISPLAYS A "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE" MESSAGE ON THE CAR'S DASH/DISPLAY. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER, OR IF I POWER THE CAR DOWN AND START IT BACK UP, I CAN GET THE GEARS BACK, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND THE CAR DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND THE CAR IS SLUGGISH. THIS CAR IS THE 1.4L TURBO WITH A DUAL DRY CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW WITHIN THE LAST 1.5 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALER DID A "REFRESH" ON THE COMPUTER AND STATED THAT THE COMPUTER HAD TO "RELEARN" THE TRANSMISSION. THE SECOND TIME (12/09/2014) THE DEALER SAID THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE THIRD TIME OCCURRED TODAY (12/16/2014) AND IT IS AT THE DEALER NOW WAITING ON SOMEONE TO LOOK AT IT. TODAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET MY CAR ACROSS THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC AND ONTO THE SHOULDER OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN NEW JERSEY. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY AS IT WOULD HAVE INVOLVED A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT WITH AN 18-WHEELER SEMI-TRUCK. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. AFTER ACTIVATING THE DEFROSTER FOR THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FRACTURED AND WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
TO ADD TO A LONG LIST OF ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE WE NOW HAVE A VERY SERIOUS ONE THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT COVER IN THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. ON THANKSGIVING WHEN GETTING READY TO LEAVE A STORE MY WIFE PUT THE VEHICLE INTO WHAT SHE THOUGHT WAS 1ST ONLY TO BEGIN GOING INTO REVERSE. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NOTHING BEHIND AT THE TIME. WE DISCOVERED THAT YOU CAN PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE AT ANY SPEED OR ANYTIME WITHOUT THE USE OF THE SHIFT RELEASE. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THEY STATED THAT THE SHIFTER NEEDS REPLACED AS THE CABLE BROKE FREE. THEY ALSO DISCOVER THAT THE REVERSE SHIFT SENSOR HAD GONE BAD AS WELL WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSING THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TO COME ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL TO STOP WORKING. THIS IS BUT ANOTHER ISSUE THAT THERE WHERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, BELLS OR WHISTLES YET EVERYTHING IS OK BECAUSE THE COMPUTER SAYS IT IS. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP, THEY WILL NOT FIX EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE 2012 WHEN THEY FIRST RELEASE THE VEHICLE. APPARENTLY SOMEONE NEEDS TO DIE FOR IT TO BE A SERIOUS ENOUGH ISSUE.. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE MADE TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR SHODDY PRODUCTS. OUR HEATER CORE IS LEAKING, TURBO INTERMITTENT, ENGINE SURGES (RPM'S) ETC. *TR
ENGINE STALLED. *TR
WHEN TRYING TO LIFT UP THE METAL RING ON THE GEAR SHIFT TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, I HEARD A SNAP, AND COULD NOT ENGAGE REVERSE. LUCKILY I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE THAT WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. THE METAL RING IS NOW LOOSE AND THE CAR WILL NOT GO IN REVERSE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO ENGAGE AND STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.
THE FIRST TIME MY VEHICLE DIDN'T GO INTO REVERSE WAS WHEN I WAS LEAVING WORK. I ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT AND THE SHIFT MECHANISM TO ENGAGE THE REVERSE IN MY CAR WOULD NOT COME UP LIKE IT HAS TO FOR REVERSE TO TAKE HOLD. I TRIED TWICE AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. I WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN AND THE CAR ENGAGED REVERSE LIKE NORMAL. FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS THE CAR SHIFTED FINE UNTIL ON 11/23/2014 AFTER STARTING MY CAR AND LETTING IT WARM UP, I ATTEMPTED TO PLACE MY CAR IN REVERSE AND HALFWAY THROUGH THE SHIFT INTO REVERSE ON MY MANUAL CAR I HEARD A POP AND MY CAR JERKED. I THEN LET GO OF MY SHIFTER KNOB AND IT RETURNED INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THEN I TRIED TO PUT IT IN TO REVERSE ONCE MORE AND THE SHIFTER KNOB WAS LIMP AND RETURNED TO NEUTRAL BY ITS SELF. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND SINCE I AM MECHANICALLY INCLINED I REMOVED THE LEATHER COVER FROM THE SHIFTER KNOB TO SEE MY REVERSE CABLE HAD SNAPPED CLOSE TO THE BASE OF THE HOUSING. *TR
I HEARD A POPPING SOUND WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES - PEDAL WAS HARD AND BRAKING DID NOT WORK. I WAS ABLE TO STOP BY DOWNSHIFTING TO SLOW MY SPEED AND USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. TO BE CLEAR - MY BRAND NEW CAR, WITH FEWER THAN 11K MILES, THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR LESS THAN A YEAR, DID NOT HAVE ANY FUNCTIONING BRAKES. FORTUNATELY THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO THE FREEWAY, NOT WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAILED BRAKE BOOSTER AND SAID THAT THE CAUSE WAS A "FACTORY DEFECT" - THIS IS A TERRIFYING FACTORY DEFECT THAT COULD HAVE VERY EASILY LED TO A TOTALED CAR AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ME, MY PASSENGERS, PEDESTRIANS, OTHER DRIVERS. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SAFETY AND RELIABILITY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I SINCERELY HOPE THAT IT WILL BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY, REVIEWED AND CORRECTED. *TR....UPDATED 06/15/16 *BF UPDATED 9/7/2017*CN

TURNED ON CAR IN THE MORNING, NOTICED THE BACK LIGHTING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS REALLY DIM, I CHECKED THE DIMMING SWITCH TO SEE IF I MOVED IT BY UNKNOWINGLY. I TRIED ADJUSTING THE SWITCHES BUT NOTHING WORKED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AND NO CHANGE THEY WERE STILL VERY DIM. I WENT AHEAD AND DROVE TO MY DESTINATION. ON THE TRIP THERE THE LIGHTS FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL AS WELL AS THE BACK LIGHTING FOR MY 8.4" SCREEN AND A/C AND RADIO LIGHTS TURNED OFF FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS, AND THEN EVERYTHING TURNED BACK ON, BUT STILL VERY DIM. I GOT TO MY DESTINATION TURNED OFF CAR, GOT OUT AND LEFT THE CAR FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, CAME BACK AND STARTED IT AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. SINCE THEN, IT HAS HAPPENED EVERYDAY THIS WEEK SO FAR. I PLAN ON CONTACTING DODGE/CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY CAN ASSIST BEFORE I GO TO THE DEALER. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHEN ENGAGING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

IT HAS BEEN BEING REPAIRED FOR OVER A WEEK NOW BECAUSE NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG WITH IT EVEN THOUGH IT HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. *TR
VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN THEN WHEN COMING TO AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED HARD. UPON GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THEN BECAME INOPERABLE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT START OR EVEN CRANK. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER FOR MANY ELECTRICAL AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND WE GOT REALLY LUCKY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT IN THE INTERSECTION. *TR
THE ISSUE I AM CONTINUING TO HAVE IS DURING ACCELERATION, USUALLY ONTO THE INTERSTATE, I WILL LOSE ABOUT 2/3 OF MY ENGINE POWER DURING ACCELERATION. IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON, NOT ACTIVATED, IT WILL TURN ITSELF OFF AND NOT TURN BACK ON. THE POWER LOSS IS SIGNIFICANT. THE ONLY OPTION TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, OR MAKING OTHER DRIVERS ANGRY BECAUSE I HAVE SUDDENLY SLOWED ON AN ON RAMP, IS TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO RESET THIS ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE IN FEBRUARY. AFTER THE 5TH TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. TO MY UNDERSTANDING THEY JUST RESET THE LIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN ONCE SINCE. I AM ALSO NOW DEALING WITH TURBO SURGING DURING ACCELERATION AND OVER REVVING AT STOP LIGHTS AND WHILE SHIFTING. THE RPM'S ARE NOT DROPPING AS I SHIFT UNTIL I LET OUT THE CLUTCH. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES, TWICE OVER NIGHT. THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND HAVE SENT ME ON MY WAY. I CALLED DODGE AND THEY OPENED A CASE OCT 10, AGAIN CANNOT DUPLICATE, CASE CLOSED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE ME TO BE REAR ENDED EITHER ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP OR ON THE SHOULDER WHILE TURNING MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON. SYMPTOMS ARE ALSO SIMILAR TO ANOTHER COMPLAINT NHTSA ID 10616062. *TR
MY FOOT WAS ON MY CLUTCH AND BRAKE I THEN STARED THE CAR....THE CAR LUNGE FORWARD INTO SOME BUSHES .. AFTER THAT THE CLUTCH STAYED ON THE FLOOR UNABLE TO SHIFT IN REVERSE TILL I PUMPED BRAKE AND CLUTCH I ACTUALLY LIFTED THE CLUTCH UP WITH MY FOOT TO USE IT TO SHIFT. *TR
THE ESC MALFUNCTION LIGHT ILLUMINATES DAILY. PERIODICALLY GOES OFF AND ON. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE. THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,950.
2013 DODGE DART . ENGINE STALLS WHEN GOING SLOW OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE TO START BACK UP. THE CAR IS NEW AND I HAD ITS OIL CHANGED AT 5000 MILES AT THE DEALERSHIP. I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A ISSUE. I TOOK IT IN TODAY AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. *TR
CAR STALLS IN WARM WEATHER AND HAS TROUBLE RESTARTING. NO EXPLANATION. TOOK IT IN TWICE NOW. FIRST TIME THEY COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT. IT STALLED 4 TIMES YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT IN 70 DEGREE WEATHER. IT STALLED AT LIGHT AND DURING A SLOW TURN. *TR
ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS DISENGAGED ACCOMPANIED BY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WARNINGS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL (SERVICE TRANSMISSION, BLIND SPOT INDICATOR DISABLED, AND AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMS OFF). ON ALL OCCASIONS, THE CAR WAS UNDRIVABLE (AS IF IN NEUTRAL) UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. AT THAT POINT, THE SHIFT POINTS WERE COMPLETELY OFF AND VEHICLE WOULD OFTEN NEARLY STALL OUT. ON 2 OCCASIONS, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, BUT WOULD INEXPLICABLY START LATER AND DRIVE ACCEPTABLY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. DEALER HAS PERFORMED FLASH UPDATES AND EXAMINED ALL CONNECTIONS. OTHER REPORTS ON DODGE DART FORUM EXPLAIN MULTIPLE SIMILAR ISSUES AND VARIOUS UNSUCCESSFUL DEALER ATTEMPTS TO IDENTIFY AND FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE EXTREMELY DIM. THE ACCIDENT REFERENCED ABOVE CAUSED NO DAMAGE BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO AVOID GOING INTO A DITCH AT AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE OF THE SLOW SPEED. HOWEVER, I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING IN THE SIDE-DITCHES WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE IT BOTH AT NIGHT AND IN THE MORNING DARKNESS. WHEN I ASKED HIM ABOUT IT, HE REPLIED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND "THEY ARE JUST NOT VERY BRIGHT, AND WERE ABOUT LIKE THE CHRYSLER 200. MY ROOMMATE HAS A DODGE CHARGER 2014, AND HIS LIGHTS ARE AS BRIGHT AS MOST CARS LIGHTS ARE. AS THIS SITUATION IN THESE DARTS COULD CAUSE DEATHS, I FEEL THIS MODEL CAR SHOULD BE CHECKED OUT THOROUGHLY AND BRIGHTER HEADLIGHTS INSTALLED, AND A RECALL MADE FOR THOSE ALREADY ON THE ROAD. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL POPPING SOUND. THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE AND THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM CRASHING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,530.
I WAS COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ON THE BRAKE SLOWING MY 2013 DODGE DART FROM 65 TO 40 THEN TO 20 TO TAKE A SHARP RIGHT TURN, IN THE TURN THE STRING WENT DEAD AND FOR A BRIEF SECOND WAS UNABLE TO TURN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER CAR AND THAT WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT HAS HAPPEN THE FIRST WAS WITH MY WHOLE FAMILY, I WAS DRIVING AROUND IN A PARKING LOT. ALSO THIS CAR HAS AN AIRBAG LIGHT ON FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT , THE CAR OVER HEATS AND THE BACKUP CAM NO LONGER WORKS THE BATTERY IS NOW DEAD AND WERE UNABLE TO DRIVE, WERE OUT OF WARRANTY BY A LITTLE OVER 500 MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE UNLESS I PAY MORE MONEY TO FIX THIS PAPER WEIGHT. I CAN DRIVE IT AFTER GETTING A JUMP BUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAIL TO WORK THE SPEEDOMETER FADES IN AND OUT AND THE GAUGE DROPS TO 0MPH. MY CAR WAS SOLD TO ME AFTER REPLACING A POWER CONTROL MODULE AND HAS BEEN REPLACED A SECOND TIME. THIS CAR IS NOT WORTH THE $21000 SPENT AND I SHOULD BE GIVEN BACK HALF OF MY MONEY. MY CAR STILL OVERHEATS AFTER MANY DEALERSHIP VISITS OVER JUST THAT VERY PROBLEM AND EVERY TIME I PICK IT UP IT SEEM LIKE SOMETHING NEW I WAS WRONG (( !! I BOUGHT THIS CAR TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH MONTHLY FROM SAN ANTONIO TO FT. HOOD FOR MY MILITARY OBLIGATIONS IM A PISSED A VETERAN WHO WANTS MY CAR TO WORK LIKE IT WAS ADVERTISED! BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I PAID FOR!! )) *TR
I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED BETWEEN TWO VEHICLES. PUTTING MY BRAKES ON TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THE BRAKES FAILED AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR WENT OVER THE CURB, OVER BUSHES, BETWEEN TWO SMALL TREES AND STOPPED APPROXIMATELY 6 FEET IN THE SAND. IF THERE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SAND IT MAY HAVE GONE FURTHER. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER. THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID HE DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR. HE PUT HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATED. THIS WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING. THEN HE PROCEEDED TO ASK ME WHO PUT ON MY BRAKES OR CHANGED MY BRAKES. SINCE I HAD ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS I SAID I DIDN'T KNOW AND ASSUMED THAT IT WAS CHRYSLER. THIS CAR HAS ISSUES. THE 2ND DAY I OWNED IT, IT DIED AT A RED LIGHT. WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS FROM VAPOR LOCK. THAT COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AS THE SALESMAN PUT GAS IN THE NIGHT BEFORE AND DIDN'T TOP OFF THE TANK. THEN THE 3RD DAY I HAD IT, IT WAS JERKING UP A BRIDGE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS HILL ASSIST. I CAN'T FIND THAT ANYWHERE IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE CAR. HE SAID I WASN'T USE TO THE CAR. I WANT SOMEONE TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FROM EITHER THE DEALERSHIP OR CHRYSLER. I DON'T WANT THIS CAR. IT HAS MECHANICAL ISSUES. *TR
I'M BACK AFTER SUBMITTING ODI NUMBER 10619184. THIS TIME THE CAR STALLED WHILE APPROACHING A TURN. LUCKILY WE WERE AGAIN GOING SLOW AND WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. THE CAR STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AND WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE OFF AGAIN. THE DEALER FOUND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. UNFORTUNATELY THIS ISN'T THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR THE ENGINE NEVER DID SOUND QUITE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO "TUMBLE" OR MAKE A SOUND AS IF IT WANTED TO STALL BUT NEVER HAS. SINCE THE DEALER FOUND NO CODES (OR DTC'S) AND THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM THEY SENT ME HOME WITH THE VEHICLE. MY CONCERN HERE IS THAT THIS VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING MULTIPLE, MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES AND SADLY DODGE, CHRYSLER, OR FIAT WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO VOICE MY OPINION WITH THE USE OF CAR MAGNET, DECALS WITHOUT USING NAMES OR LOCATIONS AND THE DEALER DECIDED THEY WOULD NOT LIKE MY BUSINESS ANY LONGER. SO MUCH FOR FREE SPEECH. *TR
MY 2013 DODGE DART (LIMITED, 1.4L TURBO, DDCT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) SUFFERED FROM A TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) FAILURE CAUSING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS: - RANDOMLY UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK - AUDO SYSTEM FAILURE - HANDSFREE SYSTEM FAILURE - ODOMETER BLINKING (AS OPPOSED TO A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING - DIGITAL READOUT ODO) I WAS INFORMED THERE IS A PETITION TO INVESTIGATE TIPM FAILURES IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND WANTED TO MAKE MY INCIDENT AWARE. I ALSO WORK WITH A [XXX], WHO ALSO HAD HIS 2013 DODGE DART REPLACED (COLLATERAL SWAP) DUE TO THE SAME COMPONENT FAILING JUST LAST WEEK. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
RADIO BLACKS OUT. SIDEWALL BULGES ON TWO OF THE KUMHO TIRES. ROUGH START IN WINTER. FADE SPOTS ON INTERIOR SEATS.
ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION, GEARS AND POWER. AFTER PARKING MY CAR AND ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON, MULTIPLE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH BOARD, AND MESSAGE READ THAT MY CAR DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE GEAR. WAS NOT ABLE TO START CAR. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH AND MY CAR STOP WORKING, LOST ALL POWER AND IT TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO USE THE GEARS. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR WONT RECOGNIZE THE GEARS USED AND IT WILL ACT AS THOUGH IT IS IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED A DECLINE OF POWER WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS BACK FIRING IN THE ENGINE WHEN CYLINDERS MISFIRE. HEATED SEATS DON'T ALWAYS WORK AND THE KEY FOBS DON'T ALWAYS WORK. *TR
THE CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR PREVENTING ME FROM BEING ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF GEAR OR DISENGAGE THE ENGINE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. BECAUSE I AM A MECHANIC I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A CRASH. THIS IS A COMPLEX ISSUE AND MOST CONSUMERS WILL FREAK OUT IF THEY CAN NOT PUT THERE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE STALLS FROM THEM TRYING TO USE THE BRAKES. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED, THE TRANSMISSION SEIZED, AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 13V238000 (POWER TRAIN). HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.
I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHILE MY 2013 DODGE DART WAS IN DRIVE ON AUGUST 14, 2014. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN SO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WENT. I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE AND THE CAR ACTED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE RPM'S OF THE CAR CLIMBED TO 6000 AND THE CAR WENT NOWHERE. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND THE RPM'S WERE STILL HIGH. THE RPM'S LOWERED AND AROUND 2500 RPM'S THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AS IF IT CAUGHT GEAR. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND PARKED IT. I DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHEN IT SHIFTED. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR FOR FOUR DAYS. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I PICKED MY CAR UP ON AUGUST 18, 2014. I DROVE THE CAR HOME. ON AUGUST 19, 2014 I TOOK THE DODGE DART BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT SOUNDED AS IF THE CLICKING IN AND OUT WHEN CHANGING GEARS WAS HAPPENING. I LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WOULD OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT EVENTUALLY THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO ILLUMINATE AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.
I HAD STARTED MY CAR AND IT WAS IDLING IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE E-BRAKE ENGAGED. I WENT INTO THE HOUSE TO GET A FEW THINGS I HAD FORGOT AND THE CAR ROLLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY INTO THE ROAD AND WAS HIT BY ANOTHER CAR DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. I WAS SURE THE E-BRAKE LEVER WAS UP ALL THE WAY BEFORE I GOT OUT OF THE CAR. THE DRIVEWAY DOESN'T REALLY HAVE ANY GRADE TO IT EITHER. IT IS JUST BARELY SLOPPED FOR DRAINAGE. *TR
KUMHO SOLUS KH 25 TIRES INCLUDED ON MY 2013 DODGE DART (SAFETY RECALL) ALL 4 TIRES ON MY 2013 DODGE DART ARE BREAKING IN THE SIDEWALL, CRACKING, AND LOSING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF AIR. FIRST TIRE REPLACED (2/7/14) IAO $132.42 REPLACED WITH A BRAND NEW SOLUS KH25. NOW, I HAVE TWO REAR TIRES LEAKING AIR QUICKLY (DOT 4212) & THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH MY SPARE. THESE TIRES STARTED PERFORMING SAFETY HAZARDS 3-4 MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST TIRE REPLACEMENT IN 02/14. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THIS COMPLAINT BE INVESTIGATED, SO I CAN DRIVE ON SAFE TIRES WITH MY CHILD AFTER BEING PROVIDE A SET OF NEW TIRES. *TR
I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE THERE IS SUCH A HUGE PAUSE IN THE THROTTLE WHEN U ANYTIME FROM START TO GO ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING ON THE HIGHWAY I HAVE ALMOST GOT KILLED A FEW TIMES THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT AND THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL YET AFTERMARKET PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO BUY TO FIX THIS ISSUE COULD SOMEONE PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE I GET KILLED. *TR
TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKE AND THAT THE BRAKES SEIZED. IN ADDITION, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ACTIVATED IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,038.
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP BY PUTTING TWO FEET ON THE BRAKES AND SLOWING DOWN. LUCKILY WE WERE ALREADY SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP-LIGHT SO WE WERE GOING SLOW. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS INCREDIBLY HARD AND WE WERE UNABLE TO PUSH IT DOWN PROPERLY OIT?S POSSIBLE WE WOULD?VE HIT A PICKUP TRUCK. IF WE DID WE COULD?VE BEEN DECAPITATED. OR WE MIGHT?VE HIT ENOUGH TO SET OFF THE AIRBAGS KILLING OUR UNBORN CHILD. WE COULD?VE BEEN INJURED OR INJURED SOMEONE ELSE. LUCKILY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY. ?MY WIFE CAUTIOUSLY PULLED US INTO A GAS STATION, SUNOCO, AND I TOLD HER TO SPEED UP A LITTLE BIT AND TO STEP ON THE BRAKES. AT THAT POINT IT FELT AS IF THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING AND A LIGHT FLASHED IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SAYING ?SERVICE BRAKES ELECTRICAL?? OR SOMETHING SIMILAR. ?WE CALLED THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE NUMBER. UPSETTINGLY ENOUGH WE DISCOVERED WE COULD ONLY BE TOWED ABOUT 10 MILES TO GET HOME OR ABOUT 15 MILES TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP OTHERWISE THE COST WOULD COME OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. DISTURBINGLY THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE SUGGESTED THAT I DRIVE FIVE MILES CLOSER TO HOME AFTER KNOWING WE NEEDED TO BE TOWED BECAUSE MY BRAKES DIDN?T WORK. I UNDERSTAND SHE WAS NOT A MECHANIC BUT THERE IS NO REASON SHE SHOULD?VE SUGGESTED I RISK THE FOUR OF OUR LIVES TO DRIVE FIVE MILES SO I COULD GET A FREE TOW. ?WHAT IF WE WERE OUT OF STATE? WOULD I NEED TO PAY AN ASTRONOMICAL COST TO GET TOWED BACK HOME? WHAT WILL DODGE DO ABOUT THIS? ?ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IS NOT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, IT?S TOWING ASSISTANCE. WE ONLY GOT HELP GETTING A TOW. WE WERE COMPLETELY ON OUR OWN TO FIND TRANSPORTATION. ?WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF WE WERE ON THE EXPRESSWAY? WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED HAD WE RAN INTO THE PICKUP TRUCK WITH IT'S TRUCK BED AT HEAD LEVEL? ONCE FIXED IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CLUTCH BECAME STUCK AND PREVENTED THE GEARS FROM SHIFTING. THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.
I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY HOME, WHEN MY VEHICLE REACHED RPMS OF OVER 7500 AND THEN DIED. I LOST ALL POWER, ELECTRONICS, MOTOR...EVERYTHING. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. I TRIED RESTARTING, BUT THE VEHICLE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF POWER. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE RUNNING AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME. BUT AFTER REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE TWICE, THEY ARE NOW REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. I STILL AM CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT THE TCM CAUSED THE OTHER ELECTRONICS ON THE VEHICLE TO FAIL, BUT AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE TCM WAS NOT FAULTY, THE TRANSMISSION IS. NEEDLESS, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND BELIEVE THAT DODGE SHOULD STEP UP AND REPLACE IT. THE VEHICLE IS A YEAR OLD AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. LAST WEEK, THE VEHICLE BECAME A SAFETY LIABILITY FOR DODGE AS IT FAILED WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN. *TR
DRIVING AT A AVERAGE SPEED OF 60-70 WHEN PASSING ON THE HWY MY CLUTCH PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD TO PULL IT OUT WITH MY FOOT TO CHANGE GEARS. THIS NOW HAS STARTED HAPPENING ON TAKE OFFS NOW. THE DEALER HAS ALL READY REPLACE IT ONCE AND IT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT KEEP ENOUGH IN STOCK FOR THE CARS THAT ARE HAVING THIS REPLACED. IT TOOK 21 DAYS IN ORDER FOR MY PART TO ARRIVE AT THE DEALERSHIP. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT LONGER FOR A NEW ONE TO REPLACE THE ONE THAT WAS PUT IN. THIS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ISSUE ALMOST LIFE THREATENING BECAUSE YOU COULD BE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND GOD FORBID YOU CAN'T REACT FAST ENOUGH. *JS
I HAVE A NEW DODGE DART THAT FOR THE PAST MONTH HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH ARRIGO DODGE SERVICE DEPT REGARDS TO MY CONCERNS WITH ISSUES. MY CALLS WENT UNANSWERED AND WAS GIVEN THE BLOW OFF. THIS PAST FRIDAY MY AC QUIT WORKING WAS WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN THEY WERE FORCED TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS... WHEN I ASKED FOR A RENTAL I WAS REFUSED... *JS
WHEN WE WENT TO OPEN THE TRUNK ON OUR DODGE DART RALLYE (2013), THE TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN. JUST A LITTLE BEFORE THAT IT WAS WORKING JUST FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS. WE HAVE TRIED TO RESET THE VEHICLE BUT THAT DOES NOT WORK, NEITHER DOES CHECKING FUSES. WE BOUGHT THE CAR WITH AROUND 6000 MILES ON IT (WARRANTY STILL UNDER AFFECT) BUT NOW AFTER WE BOUGHT IT THE WARRANTY IS GONE. WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ASAP. *TR
I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER TO CHECK FOR SLUGGISH ACCELERATION. IT SEEMS THE TURBO ISN'T WORKING AND I HAVE TO DOWN-SHIFT SEVERAL TIMES TO GET UP A HILL I TRAVEL EVERY DAY. THEY SAID IT JUST NEEDED A COMPUTER UPDATE. NOTHING CHANGED AFTER THEIR "UPDATE". CAR BACKFIRES EVERY MORNING IT'S COLD OUTSIDE AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY POWER UNTIL THE ENGINE WARMS UP CONSIDERABLY. CAR STILL BACKFIRES EVEN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. CRUISE TURNS OFF BY ITSELF AND WON'T COME BACK ON UNLESS I STOP THE CAR, TURN IT OFF, THEN RESTART IT. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE BEFORE DECEMBER. IT IS NOW JULY 2014 AND A CERTIFIED MECHANIC HAS CHECKED OUT MY ENGINE--MY TURBO IS TRASHED AND THERE IS OIL IN IT!! THERE IS A ROD THAT OPENS THE VACUUM/AIR THAT IS STUCK. IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS UNDER A RECALL, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT IT. THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM SHOULD HAVE MADE THE RECALLS KNOWN BEFORE I PURCHASED IT IN MAY 2013. OR THEY SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND HAD THEM FIXED BEFORE SELLING IT. I PURCHASED IT USED WITH 4000 MILES ON IT; NOW I KNOW WHY THE PREVIOUS OWNER WANTED TO BUY ANOTHER CAR! *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. UPDATED 8/28/14*CN UPDATED 11/25/2014 *JS
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INSIDE CAR SHUTS OFF AND TURNS BACK ON REPEATEDLY, EVEN IF I AM ONLY GOING 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THE FUEL AND ENGINE TIE TOGETHER AS ONE; IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE THE EXHAUST LETS OUT A VERY STRONG ODOR THAT CONTINUE'S FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF ANY TRIP. THEN WHEN ACCELERATING USING AUTOMATIC DRIVE OR EVEN THE DRY CLUTCH THE EXHAUST MAKES A LOUD RATTLING NOISE AS IT SWITCHES FROM GEAR TO GEAR. ALSO, DURING DRIVING THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING AND HAS HESITATION WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING COMPLETELY. *JS
THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CUTS OUT SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DRIVING. AT NIGHT IT IS BAD BECAUSE ALL THE INSIDE LIGHT GO OUT AND YOU CAN TELL YOUR SPEED OR ANYTHING UNTIL IT TURNS BACK ON. THE ENGINE AND FUEL ARE ONE ISSUE; AFTER STARTING IT THE EXHAUST HAS A BAD ODOR AND STAYS DURING THE ENTIRE TRAVEL UNTIL IT IS TURNED OFF. THE ENGINE ALSO HESITATES AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. *JS
I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND WAS SHIFTING INTO FOURTH GEAR WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL STAYED DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER 10 DAYS. IT WAS IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO CORRECT THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS CAR HAS DONE THIS. THE CASE NUMBERS FOR THE FIRST TWO ARE 10542516 AND 10607620. LIKE THE SECOND EPISODE, I WAS LEFT IN A VULNERABLE SITUATION IN WHICH I WAS ALMOST HIT. THE LANES TAPER FROM TWO DOWN TO ONE AND I WAS IN THE INSIDE LANE COMING OUT OF THE TAPER. A TRUCK COMING UP FROM BEHIND WAS UNAWARE TO THE SLOW SPEED OF MY CAR AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. HE WAS ABLE TO SWERVE ACROSS THE NO PASSING LINES INTO ANOTHER LANE AND AVOID HITTING THE BACK OF MY CAR. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO NEXT CROSS ROAD AND JUST MAKE IT OFF THE STATE HIGHWAY. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. *JS
CLUTCH PEDAL DOES NOT RETURN FROM DEPRESSED POSITION. CLUTCH PEDAL IS SOFT AND CLUTCH MECHANISM DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY FOR A FEW MINUTES OF INITIAL OPERATION. AFTER THE INITIAL INCIDENT THIS PROBLEM HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT AND NOW OCCURS ALMOST DAILY. *TR
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. FOR STARTERS WHEN DRIVING IT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN STOP GOING FOR NO REASON. THE CAR DIDN'T DIE IT SIMPLY DOESN'T GO. THE RPM'S STOPPED WORKING ON ONE OCCASION AND THE HEAD LIGHT BLEW OUT ALL IN THE SAME NIGHT. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO CONNECTION, SO I HAD TO REPLACE THE HEAD LIGHT FOR $100. THEY ADVISED THE GROUND WIRE WAS LOSE SO THEY TIGHTENED IT. I HAD MY TIRE BLOW OUT FOR NO REASON JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT BLEW. NOW ON OCCASIONS MY AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS AREN'T WORKING. AND STILL WONT GO WHEN GIVING IT GAS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. I LOVE MY CAR WOULD WANT A NEW ONE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT THE TIME UNTIL IT IS FIXED. THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND MY WARRANTY IS ALMOST UP WITH PROBLEMS REPEATING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I JUST WISH DODGE WOULD FIX WHATEVER PROBLEMS THERE ARE. *TR
I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT IN SEPT. 2013 THE INCIDENT NUMBER WAS 10542516. I MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE CLUTCH PEDAL WOULD NOT RETURN ONCE DEPRESSED. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE SLAVE CYLINDER. THAT WAS REPLACED, TAKING OVER A WEEK. THE REMEDIED THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE END OF JUNE 2014 WHEN THE CAR BEGAN DISPLAYING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE AND WENT TO SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL REMAINED DEPRESSED ONCE AGAIN. NOT HAVING POWER AT THIS KEY POINT OF ACCELERATION WAS DANGEROUS AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE SLAVE CYLINDER WAS THE PROBLEM ONCE AGAIN. I THINK THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE EXAMINED AS IT CREATES A SERIOUS POTENTIAL FOR INJURY. *TR
AFTER A ROUTINE TRIP IN VEHICLE WHERE SPEEDS DID NOT EXCEED 55 MPH, A BROKEN SIDEWALL WAS NOTICED ON DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE, A KUMHO SOLUS KH25. DECISION TO REPLACE DELAYED INITIALLY. DAYS LATER, A SECOND BREAK IN SIDEWALL APPEARED INCHES FROM FIRST. UPON INSPECTION, A THIRD BREAK IN PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE NOTICED. NO NEW ROUTES OR ROADS HAD BEEN TRAVELED IN COMPARISON TO PREVIOUS VEHICLE/TIRE COMBINATION AND NO KNOWN SEVERE IMPACT CONTRIBUTED. AFTER READING THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH KUMHO FACTORY INSTALLED WHEELS I DETERMINED MINE IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUES AND THAT THE STOCK WHEEL IS, AS IT SEEMS, MORE LIKELY TO FAIL THAN OTHERS. THIS IS AN UNPRECEDENTED NUMBER OF FAILURES ALL AT LOW MILEAGE IN CONDITIONS AND ON ROADS THAT PREVIOUS VEHICLES EXPERIENCED NO ISSUES WITH. DURING A SERVICE VISIT FOR AN OIL CHANGE A DEALER TRIED TO SELL ME TWO TIRES BUT MADE NO MENTION OF OTHER OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES OR ANY ATTEMPT TO REDUCE THE COST/IMPACT DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAD TAKEN DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE A SHORT TIME PRIOR TO TWO TIRES FAILING. *TR
HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE HAVE THE CAR 2/13. ON 6/21 300 MILES FROM HOME CARS TRANSMISSION JUST STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING. FELT LIKE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. COST ME 1000.00 TO TOWN/RENT A CAR ETC.THEY SAID TRANSMISSION MODULE FAILED. CAR JUST STOPPED VERY DANGEROUS. CHRYSLER SAID MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PICK UP CAR 220 MILES AWAY AND DRIVE HOME. I ASK THEM TO HAVE SOMEONE DRIVE TO MY LOCAL DEALER THEY SAID NO. DROVE 4 HOURS THIS MORNING PICKED UP CAR DROVE ABOUT 10 MILES SAME THING HAPPENED TODAY. NO SERVICE TECH TO LOOK AT. HAD TO RENT ANOTHER CAR AND DROVE HOME. DROVE 10 HOURS 500 MILES TODAY FOR NO REASON. SOMEONE'S GOING TO GET KILLED AND I DON'T WANT IT TO BE ME OR MY FAMILY. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
2013 DODGE DART. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION, BROKEN TIRE SENSOR AND OTHER VEHICLE PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE, THE FIRST DAY THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. APPARENTLY, IT WAS A FACTORY DEFAULT, THAT COULD NOT BE FIXED. THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR, THE CLUTCH WOULD STICK, THE GEARS WERE GRINDING WHEN IN REVERSE AND A METALLIC NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN DOWN SHIFTING IN ANY GEAR THE DEALER REPLACED THE SECOND GEAR AND SYNCHRONIZERS. THE SUN VISOR NO LONGER STAYED IN ITS POSITION.

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. STARTS WITH A LIGHT SOUND MUCH LIKE A PRESSURIZED SYSTEM RELEASING PRESSURE, THEN PROGRESSES INTO SOUNDING LIKE AN AIR BRAKE SYSTEM ON A TRUCK AT WHICH POINT THE BRAKES FAIL AND WILL NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. I'VE READ DOZENS OF REPORTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE. REPORTED TO BE A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER, POSSIBLY MASTER CYLINDER. I'VE ALSO REPORTED THIS TO DODGE AT THE EARLY STAGES WHEN IT WAS JUST A LIGHT SOUND, AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. BUT FROM SIMILAR REPORTS, THIS IS NOT NORMAL. *TR
A FEW SHORT WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE 2013 DODGE DART RALLYE 1.4L TURBO; THE BLUETOOTH FAILED TO STAY CONNECTED. TOOK IT TO GET SERVICED AT LEAST THREE TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IN ADDITION, JUST RECENTLY (2014) THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS FAILED TO WORK WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE; NOT ALL OF THE TIME BUT SOMETIMES. ALSO RECENTLY NOTICED, THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL FAILS TO WORK ALL OF THE TIME. NOT UNTIL YOU STOP AND RESTART THE VEHICLE DOES THE CRUISE CONTROL "DECIDE" TO WORK ONCE AGAIN. EVEN SO, IN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OBTAINING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED CHIP MARKS ON THE FRONT BUMPER. AS 2014 HAS APPROACHED, THERE ARE ABOUT A COUPLE HUNDRED CHIP MARKS ON THE FRONT BUMPER BUT THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN AREAS TO CAUSE THIS MUCH DAMAGE. THE DODGE DART RALLYE'S WERE SUPPOSED TO CONTAIN CHIP GUARD WHICH DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AS TO WHY THE FRONT BUMPER PAINT HAS CHIPPED OFF SO BADLY!!! *TR
I HAVE HAD QUITE AN EXPERIENCE WITH MY DODGE DART. IT IS IN THE SHOP THIS WEEK. I HAD COMPLAINED FIRST ABOUT THE HESITATING WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE CAR AND IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO GIVE OUT AND A TINY BACK FIRE. I HAVE THE COMPUTER NAVIGATION ON THE DASH AND IT BEGAN TO FLICKER AND MY MILEAGE STARTED TO FLASH. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON FOR NO REASON AND THE NAVIGATION BEGAN TO FAIL. I HAD PARKED MY DART IN THE DRIVEWAY AND IT HAD ROLLED OUT INTO THE STREET AND A COUNTY WORKER KNOCKED ON THE DOOR TO TELL ME I WAS BLOCKING ACCESS TO THE DRIVERS. I WENT TO MOVE MY CAR AND THE CLUTCH WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR OF MY CAR. I COULD NOT GET IT IN OR OUT OF GEAR. SO FAR CHRYSLER HAS REPLACED THE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER PART, THE PART FOR THE CLUTCH. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION. LAST MY DOOR IS DARKER THEN THE REST OF THE CAR AND THEY ARE HAVING IT PAINTED. *TR
WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES.CAR DEALERSHIP SAID ROTORS WERE RUSTED AND PITTED ON ALL FOUR WHEELS AND WANTED 320 DOLLARS TO TURN THE ROTORS. I REFUSED THIS OPTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE THE CAR SAT STILL TOO LONG. THIS IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE THIS CAR IS USED DAILY. IT IS OBVIOUS THERE ARE NO BRAKES ON THE BACK WHEELS BY OBSERVING THE ROTORS WITH THE NAKED EYE. ANY ROTOR WITH WORKING BRAKES WILL NOT HAVE RUST ACCUMULATE ON IT. SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK THIS OUT TO SEE IF THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL DODGE DARTS OR JUST MY CAR.. I WILL AWAIT YOUR REPLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS SAFTEY ISSUE. *TR
FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF MY CLUTCH HAS BEEN LOSING ALL RESISTANCE. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD AND AT TIMES I AM UNABLE TO PUT MY CAR INTO GEAR. SOMETIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE AT STOP LIGHTS OR EVEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. EVERY TIME I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AIM TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. EVENTUALLY THEY REPLACED MY CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO THE FIRST TIME. PROBLEM SEEMED TO RESOLVE THEN ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. AFTER MULTIPLE TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP THEY FINALLY AGREED TO REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER AND DISCOVERED THE SLAVE CYLINDER IS LEAKING. VEHICLE BACK IN THE SHOP FOR THE PAST WEEK REPLACING SLAVE CYLINDER. ANY PERSPECTIVE DART BUYERS OUT THERE, I REALLY CAUTION AGAINST THIS PURCHASE. THIS IS ONLY ONE OF MULTIPLE ISSUES I HAVE HAD. ON A SIDE NOTE, I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN JULY 2012 WITH 120 MILES ON IT. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD 2 IGNITION COILS REPLACED, 2 CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDERS, SLAVE CYLINDER, 3 TURBOS, CATALYTIC CONVERTER ALL REPLACED. BUYER BEWARE. *TR
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WORSE WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WILL BE SOFT AND NOT COME UP OFF THE FLOOR. WHEN THE CLUTCH IS SOFT, I AM NOT ABLE TO SHIFT IN OR OUT OF GEAR. IF THE ENGINE IS ON AND IN GEAR, YOU CANNOT PUMP THE CLUTCH UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS OFF, OR IF YOU MANAGE TO GET IT INTO NEUTRAL. AS I PREFER TO PARK THE VEHICLE IN GEAR, WHEN THE CLUTCH GOES SOFT, IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO REMOVE THE SHIFTER FROM GEAR TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM MOVING AND HITTING AN OBJECT. I HAVE ALMOST HIT A CONCRETE PILLAR AND DRIVEN THROUGH MY GARAGE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I GET THE FEELING THE CLUTCH IS NOT FULLY DISENGAGED, DESPITE THE PEDAL STUCK ON THE FLOOR. WITHOUT PARKING IN GEAR, I RUN THE RISK OF THE CAR ROLLING AWAY IF THE PARKING BRAKE FAILS. THERE HAVE BEEN NO LEAKS AND THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. *TR
HIT A POT HOLE AT 65 MILES PER HOUR ON A BRIDGE AND TIRE BLEW OUT. SAME THING HAPPENED 3 MONTHS AGO EXCEPT IT BLEW OUT THE TIRE AND TORE THE RIM WHEN A POT HOLE WAS HIT. WHEN I FINISHED CHANGING THE TIRE I LOOKED UP , AND ANOTHER DODGE DART WAS BEHIND ME WITH THE SAME FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BLOWN OUT , EXCEPT HER RIM WAS TORN . DODGE TOLD ME THE TIRES HAVE NO WARRANTY . THERE KUMHO TIRES .ARE PIECES OF CRAP .. APPARENTLY .. I WAS TOLD BY MY TIRE GUY THAT THEY ARE CHEAP AND HAVE WEAK SIDEWALLS ..THERE ARE MANY INCIDENTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES. I WILL CALL COVERT DODGE IN AUSTIN TOMORROW TO COMPLAIN. ILL GET 4 NEW MICHELIN TIRES PUT ON TOMORROW. THE CAR HAS 4000 MILES ON IT. MY FIRST AND LAST DODGE. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THERE CUSTOMERS APPARENTLY !!!! *TR
WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKES, THEY TRAVEL TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT BRAKES ACTIVATING OR THE ABS SYSTEM. IT TAKES PUMPING THE BRAKES A SECOND TIME BEFORE THE BRAKES FINALLY ACTIVATE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD MY CAR INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTH AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH THE PROBLEM IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. *TR
ON THE MORNING OF MAY 17TH, 2014, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WHILE IN LINE AT THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. ERROR MESSAGES APPEARED ON DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER ("PARK ASSIST OFF, SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT OFF, AUTOMATIC HIGH-BEAMS OFF"), GEAR SELECTION WAS UNAVAILABLE AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AFTER FIVE MINUTES OF REST WITH THE "VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK" ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED. THE SERVICE ADVISER FOUND CODES FOR TRANSMISSION AND BODY CONTROL MODULES WITH MULTIPLE COMMUNICATION ERRORS. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED ON MAY 18TH. ON THE MORNING OF MAY 27TH, THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK FOR COSMETIC WARRANTY REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AFTER THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED AT THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED AGAIN ON MAY 29, 2014. *TR
ON 5/16 2014 WHILE AT THE BANK MY SON-IN-LAW NOTICED A BULGE IN THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. IT IS AN OBVIOUS SEPARATION OF MATERIALS 2 CALLS TO KUMHO 800445 8646 EXT [XXX] HAS NOT GENERATED A RETURN CALL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
AS WE WERE CROSSING A LARGE BRIDGE IN NEW YORK CITY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WITHIN A MINUTE AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON, THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING, AND THE CAR BEGAN TO RUN VERY ROUGHLY. SMOKE BEGAN TO COME FROM THE VENTS, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND OVERHEAT. AFTER ANOTHER MINUTE, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND BECAME MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. WE STOPPED AT THE CLOSEST AREA TO PULL OFF. CHRYSLER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE HAD US WAIT FOR TWO HOURS BEFORE NOTIFYING US THAT OUR CAR WAS LOCATED 100FT SHY OF BEING ABLE TO BE TOWED. WE MANAGED TO FUDGE THE CAR ANOTHER 100FT, AND REACHED A SIDE STREET WHERE WE NEEDED TO WAIT ANOTHER TWO HOURS TO BE TOWED. THIS WAS MAY 11TH. THE VERDICT FROM THE LOCAL DEALER IS THAT THE ENTIRE BOTTOM END FELL OFF AFTER JUST OVER ONE YEAR OF TYPICAL USE (LESS THAN 17000 MILES), AND THE ENGINE MUST BE REBUILT (CRANKSHAFT, ENGINE BLOCK, EVERYTHING). WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN ESTIMATED TIME OF COMPLETION, AND ONLY ESTIMATES OF WHEN THE ENGINE WILL BE IN (OVER A MONTH LATER) DETACHMENT OR PARTIAL DETACHMENT OF THESE COMPONENTS IS EXTRAORDINARILY DANGEROUS, PARTICULARLY AT THE SPEED THAT WE WERE MOVING, AND WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO BE INJURED, OR BE IN AN ACCIDENT. WE WERE EVEN LUCKY TO GET OFF OF THE BRIDGE. *TR
VEHICLE HAD SLIGHT DAMAGE FROM CONCRETE WHEEL STOP IN PARKING LOT. THIS REVEALED PRIOR DAMAGE .CAR WAS SOLD AS NEW. 4 WEEKS PRIOR. DURING INSPECTION FENDER TO BUMPER BOLTS FOUND MISSING. OTHER SCREWS NOT TIGHTENED AND MISINSTALLED. I REFUSED TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION. VEHICLE BACK AT DEALER FOR MONTHS NO REPAIR REPLACEMENT OF SCREWS EVER OFFERED. TOLD BY DEALERSHIP OWNER IT'S OK DRIVE IT THEY DON'T NEED ALL THOSE SCREWS TO HOLD IT TOGETHER. CHRYSLER NOTIFIED MANY TIMES DOES NOTHING BUT. SAY SORRY FOR YOUR TROUBLE. THEY HAVE THE MONEY AND THE CAR. I HAVE NOTHING. THIS CAR IS A BAD ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN OVER A BUMP THERE WAS A LOUD THUD SOUND AND THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK AND VEER TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE SPRING KIT, ADAPTER, STRUT MOUNT, INSULATOR AND THE STRUT. THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED TO PULSATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.
THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER A COMMUTE HOME FROM WORK. MY WIFE NOTICED A BULGE IN THE KUHMO TIRE ON HER DRIVER'S SIDE REAR. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TIRE AT NO COST. THIS HAPPENED AT ROUGHLY 2000 MILES. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON THE COMMUTE HOME FROM WORK AS WELL. THIS TIME THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE EXPLODED AT 55 MPH SENDING MY WIFE INTO A PANIC STATE AS SHE ATTEMPTED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE SAFELY. THIS OCCURRED AT ROUGHLY 4400 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE RIM AND TIRE AS THE EXPLOSION RUINED BOTH. THE THIRD INCIDENT OCCURRED TODAY AS SHE GOT OUT OF HER CAR AT WORK SHE NOTICED THE MOST RECENTLY REPLACED TIRE HAD A HUGE BULGE IN THE SIDE WALL AGAIN. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO. KUHMO AND CHRYSLER HAVE REFUSED TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE AND WE WERE FORCED TO SPEND $700.00 ON NEW TIRES SO WE COULD MAKE A FAMILY TRIP THIS MEMORIAL DAY. WE PLAN TO SEEK LEGAL ADVICE ON THIS ISSUE AND FEEL THAT NEITHER CHRYSLER OR KUHMO TAKE SAFETY SERIOUSLY. *TR
DURING RAINING OR HIGH HUMIDITY CONDITIONS MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL ALERTS ME THAT IT DOESN'T WORK. ALSO I HAVE HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH FIXED MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT STILL INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT TURN ON. *JS
WENT TO START MY CAR AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR ALMOST LIKE IT HAD NO FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER AFTER I STARTED THE CAR I HAD TO SIT THERE AND PUMP IT TO FIND FEELING BEFORE I FELT COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT. THIS WAS STRANGE AS I PARK INSIDE A CLIMATE CONTROLLED GARAGE AND THERE IS NOT ANY FLUID LEAKING ON THE GROUND. *JS
WENT TO START MY CAR IN THE MORNING PUSHED THE CLUTCH TO THE FLOOR AND IT DID NOT RETURN, JUST STAYED DEPRESSED AGAINST THE FLOORBOARD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. WELL ITS NOT! I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THE CLUTCH IS ONLY UNDER WARRANTY FOR 12000 MILES. MY PREVIOUS 3 CARS HAVE BEEN MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS AND ALL WENT WELL OVER 100000K WITHOUT ANY CLUTCH ISSUES. MY CAR NOW DOES THIS REGULARLY AT LEAST ONCE EVERY OTHER DAY. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN DODGE AND THOUGHT THEY WERE "FOCUSING ON QUALITY". THE LACK OF CONCERN BY DODGE REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS DOWNRIGHT DISGUSTING. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SHE STATED SHE WOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND CALL ME TOMORROW. NO CALL, NO E-MAIL. THEN THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO SEND ME A SURVEY ON HOW WAS MY ISSUE RESOLVED. IT WASN'T THAT'S WHY YOU GOT ALL 1'S. WHY DON'T YOU ACTUALLY STAND BY YOUR PRODUCT? *TR

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE GOES ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT EACH MONTH. I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER & THEY TRIED TELLING ME IT WAS BECAUSE I PROBABLY HAVE MY PURSE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. I DO NOT KEEP MY PURSE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON NO MATTER IF THERE IS A PASSENGER OR NOT. DEALER COULD NOT FIND A FIX FOR PROBLEM. WHO KNOWS IF MY AIRBAGS WILL EVEN WORK IF I HAPPEN TO GET INTO A CRASH. *TR
I WENT OUT IN THE MORNING TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THE GEAR STICK FELT STUCK AND I HAD TO HAVE MY HUSBAND COME OUT AND PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND ROLL THE CAR BACK SO WE COULD START IT IN FIRST. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ONE MONTH LATER, ONLY THE CAR WOULD NOT EVEN GO INTO FIRST GEAR. WE HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER AND WERE TOLD WE HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW CLUTCH-IT WAS BURNED OUT. BURNED OUT AT 18,000 MILES. WE PAID FOR A NEW CLUTCH, AND NOW 4MTHS LATER, THE CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING. PROBLEM GOING INTO REVERSE. DEALER CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT-I AM SCARED THE CLUTCH WILL BURN OUT AGAIN-NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS CAR WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. *TR

BRAND NEW 2013 DODGE DART, SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. BEGAN SMELLING AND SMOKING WHEN TEACHING MY SON HOW TO START ON A HILL. SMOKE WAS COMING FROM FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF TRANSMISSION. SMELLED LIKE A BURNING CLUTCH. THIS OCCURRED AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME ON THE HILL (LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES). TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP TODAY (3-24-14), AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A STICKER ON THE TRANSMISSION THAT BURNS (IT WAS REMOVED TODAY, AND HAS BEEN REMOVED ON OTHER DARTS THEY HAVE WORKED ON FOR THE SAME PROBLEM), AND THE SMELL AND SMOKE WERE ALSO COMING FROM THE CLUTCH. THEY TEST DROVE THE CAR OVER SOME HILLS NEAR THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE SAME SMELL, BUT SAID IT IS LIKELY CAUSED BY THE NEW CLUTCH AND SHOULD BE DRIVEN 1500-2000 MILES BEFORE BEING CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED CLUTCH BURNING LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY AFTER SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME ON THE HILL, AND I'VE DRIVEN MANY MANUAL CARS/TRUCKS OVER MANY YEARS. *TR
AT ACCELERATION THE CAR PERIODICALLY STALLS BEFORE ACCELERATING. *TR
WHILE BRAKING, THIS WINTER, MY ABS WOULD ACTIVATE CAUSING MY DASHBOARD AND RADIO TO GO BLANK. IT WAS ONLY UNTIL RECENTLY THAT I LEARNED THAT WHILE THE SCREENS ARE BLANK AND REBOOTING MY CARS POWER STEERING SYSTEM IS ALSO INACTIVE. AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS AT FIXING THIS ISSUE ALL THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME IT THAT IT IS A GROUNDING ISSUE. *TR
WENT TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT DEPRESS TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES. HAD TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. *TR
WHILE ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO RANDOMLY SPUTTER/HESITATE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH FAULT CODE (P0352) AND CONTINUED TO SPUTTER/HESITATE DURING ACCELERATION PROCESS. AFTER DIAGNOSIS IT APPEARS THE ENGINE'S IGNITION CONTROL SYSTEM IS FAILING AND HAS BEEN FOR SOME TIME. ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP, THIS IS NOT COVERED OUTSIDE BASIC WARRANTY OR ANY KNOWN RECALL. *TR
AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF STAYING PARKED WITH TRANSMISSION IN GEAR (1ST), VEHICLE WOULD NOT DISENGAGE GEARBOX ON STARTUP. CLUTCH LOST ALL PRESSURE AND THE VEHICLE REQUIRED EXCESSIVE USE OF FORCE TO DISLODGE GEAR SHIFTER. VEHICLE WAS STARTED (CLUTCH DISENGAGED AND IN NEUTRAL) AND VEHICLE BEGAN TO DRIVE FORWARD.

I WASH STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN VEHICLE MOTOR STARTED REVVING UP ALL THE WAY TO WHERE THE TACHOMETER WAS FULLY IN THE RED. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING WAS PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DOWN. THERE WERE SEVERAL CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND AS WELL BEHIND ME. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF DRIVE AS IT CREPT FORWARD. I HAD TO TURN IGNITION OFF TO STOP THE CAR! WHEN LIGHT TURNED TO GREEN AND THE OTHER CARS HAD MOVED FORWARD I THEN STARTED THE CAR AND PULLED IT TO THE ROADSIDE. TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND RESTARTED THE CAR. EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO MY DESTINATION. LATER DRIVING THE CAR HOME WAS DEFINITELY AN ADVENTURE OF PURE NERVES DUE TO THE SCARE THIS INCIDENT. I HAVE NOW CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND WAITING NOW FOR AN HOUR FOR SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME BACK FOR AN APPOINTMENT. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO HAVE HAPPENED BUT THANKFUL NO ONE WAS HURT. *TR
I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND HEARD A POP. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED ROLLING FORWARD WHILE THE LIGHT WAS STILL RED! FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS COMING AND I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE LIGHT WITHOUT GETTING HIT. WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES THERE WAS AN INTENSE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE FROM THE PEDAL WITH THE SOUND OF AIR BLOWING OUT FROM THE PEDAL. I PARKED THE CAR THINKING IT JUST NEEDED A RESET, BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK. ON MONDAY MORNING I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. FORTUNATELY THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF 2013 DARTS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. *TR
TRAVELING 30 MPH ON ROAD AND NOTICED MY RIGHT REAR TIRE WENT FLAT. TIRE STORE SAID IT WAS A SIDEWALL BLOWOUT AND WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT. I REPLACED IT WITH SAME BRAND TIRE. 3 WEEKS LATER 2/16/2014 SAME EXACT THING HAPPENS TO MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE. SO BEING THE CAR IS NEW I WANTED TO KEEP THE TIRES ALL THE SAME BRAND. TIRE STORE GOT ME THE SAME TIRE. THE VERY NEXT DAY THAT 1 DAY OLD TIRE SIDEWALL BLOWS OUT. THESE ARE KUMHO SOLUS KH25 TIRES SIZE M225/45/17. I CALLED KUHMO USA AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL ON THOSE EXACT TIRES WITH SAME DOT NUMBERS K2X5YAL8 3411-2512. MY DOT NUMBERS WERE K2X5YAL8 WITH DATES 4812, 0313, 0913. I WAS TOLD THAT I DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL OF THESE KUMHO SOLUS KH25 TIRES. THEY ARE JUNK! NOT EVEN LASTING 1 DAY! I WILL NOT BE BUYING KUMHO EVER AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS AND ALREADY HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE IN TWICE FOR THE SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT ON. THE FIRST TIME, THEY DIDN'T REALLY FIND ANYTHING WRONG AS THE LIGHT WAS OFF BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE DEALER. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THEY UPDATED SOME COMPUTER SYSTEM AT THAT POINT. I HAD IT IN AGAIN IN JANUARY FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT THEY WENT AHEAD AND REPLACED THE DASH CLUSTER THINKING IT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. NOT TWO WEEKS LATER, THE LIGHT IS BACK ON. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT WHEN THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS LIT, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY, THEREFORE IT IS DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR

SITTING IDLE IN DRIVE-THRU CAR STARTED SMOKING HEAVILY UNDER THE HOOD AND THRU THE INTERIOR VENTS. FINALLY STALLED. GOT IT RESTARTED BUT IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES, IT FINALLY WENT INTO DRIVE AND I DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE NEAREST DODGE DEALER. AFTER A WEEK, THEY FOUND THE DUAL CLUTCHES BOTH NEEDED REPLACED. WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN N WHENEVER SITTING AT AN IDLE LONGER THAN A FEW SECONDS. (THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME). WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WAS NOT TO 'RIDE' THE BRAKE. EITHER "BE ON IN OR OFF OF IT". (THIS IS ALSO UNACCEPTABLE TO ME.) ALSO, CAR REVS UP TO ~5,000RPMS BEFORE SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND BUT (OF COURSE) NEVER DOES IT WHEN I LEAVE IT FOR THE DEALER. AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE. MY DEALER HAS BEEN GOOD BUT I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER DODGE. I BUY NEW FOR SAFETY, SECURITY AND RELIABILITY AND WITH THIS VEHICLE, I FEEL I HAVE NONE OF THE 3. THE LEASE CANNOT BE OVER SOON ENOUGH. *TR

I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2013 DODGE DART SXT RALLY WITH 2.0 ENGINE. I PUT ABOUT 3500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND BEGAN TO NOTICE A WHOOSH OF AIR NOISE WHEN DEPRESSING MY BRAKE PEDAL. A COUPLE DAYS WENT BY AND THE WHOOSHING NOISE BEGAN TO GET WORSE I ALSO BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF BRAKES WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD I NOTICED THE BRAKES BEGAN TO FADE QUICKLY RESULTING IN THE PEDAL BECOMING SUPER STIFF AND HAVING NO BRAKE PRESSURE ON THE PADS TO THE ROTORS. A COUPLE MORE DAYS WENT BY AND I COMPLETELY LOST BRAKES IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN ME HAVING TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DODGE DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED, A SERVICE TECH TEST DROVE THE CAR AND ALMOST CRASHED IT. HE EXPLAINED THE CAR HAS NO BRAKES AND HE'D HAVE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. THEY CAME BACK AND SAID TO ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE POWER BOOSTER AND POSSIBLY THE MASTER CYLINDER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR NOW. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE AND PARKING BRAKE FAILURE ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR DODGE DARTS. I FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS BRAKE SITUATION. WHAT IS DODGE GOING TO DO, TO ENSURE THAT THESE POWER BOOSTERS/MASTER CYLINDERS DO NOT CONTINUE TO FAIL? *TR
I PURCHASED A 2013 DODGE DART SXT MULTIAIR TURBO 6-SPEED MANUAL ON 11/23/2013 AND WITHIN A WEEK, I TOOK THE CAR BACK FOR SERVICE BEING THAT THE WHEEL WAS OFF-CENTERED TO THE LEFT AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALIGNED ALL FOUR WHEELS. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD STICK WHEN I TRIED TO TURN AS IF IT HAD LOCKED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT THEN UNLOCK WHEN ENGAGED IN TURNING. ALSO, I NOTICED THAT WHILE DRIVING ALONG IN 6TH GEAR AROUND 65-70 MPH, I WOULD HEAR A THUMPING OR SOMETHING GOING ON UNDERNEATH THE CAR LIKE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE, OR A FLAPPING SOUND. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT HAVE DOCUMENTED THE COMPLAINT UP HERE FOR MY RECORDS. MY CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 8,500 MILES ON IT AND ALSO I SEE THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE SIDE AIRBAG, PARKING BRAKE, AND THE POWERTRAIN. ALL OF THESE RECALLS WERE PLACED PRIOR TO THE DATE OF PURCHASING MY CAR AND I WILL QUESTION THE DEALERSHIP ASAP TO SEE IF THESE THINGS WERE FIXED PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR. I WILL SUBMIT FURTHER UPDATES ON THIS SITE ONCE I SEE HOW THIS DEALERSHIP HANDLES THIS!!! *TR

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE WALL SPLIT, CAUSING THE BLOW OUTS. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13T004000 (TIRES) THAT COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE TIRES DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE DATE RANGE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE TIRES AND VEHICLE WAS 1,200.
OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 10 MONTHS AND ISSUES WITH ENGINE STALLING/HESITATION HAVE GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SINCE MY FIRST ENCOUNTER AT THE DEALERSHIP AT 13,300 MILES. I FIRST REPORTED THIS ISSUE WITH ENGINE STALLING/HESITATION AND THEY STATED IT WAS A SPARK PLUG/PLUG WIRE ISSUE, (IRIDIUM SPARK PLUGS RATED FOR 100,000 MILES). AFTER REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG THEY THEN DETERMINED IT NEEDED A CONTROL MODULE REPLACED AND AN ENGINE RESET FOR MY COMPUTER SYSTEM. AFTER THAT IT HAS BEEN IN A FEW MORE TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHS FOR THE SAME ENGINE STALLING AND HESITATION ISSUES. MY ENGINE HAS BEEN "RESET AND THE COMPUTER UPDATED" AND SINCE MY GAS MILEAGE HAS GOTTEN WORSE AS WELL AS THE STALLING/HESITATION ISSUES ARE STILL THERE AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. THEN MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AS I WAS IN D AS IF I HAD PUT MY VEHICLE INTO N AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL JUST REVVING THE ENGINE, IT HAS DONE THE SAME WHEN I SWITCH TO PUT MY VEHICLE IN R. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE THEREFORE GIVING THEM NOTHING TO GO BY OTHER THAN MY WORD OF MOUTH EXPERIENCE. DAYS AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM THE DEALER IT WENT OUT ON MY AS I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR THOROUGHWAY AT 50MPH. I PRESSED THE GAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AND IT JUST REVVED THE ENGINE, LIGHTS FLASHED ON SHIFTER AND DASH. I HAD TO MANUALLY SWITCH THROUGH MY GEARS TO TRY AND GET THE CAR TO GO. AFTER MY HUSBAND PULLED MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST PARKING AREA SAFELY I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND GO FORWARD, IT WOULDN'T START RIGHT AWAY IT TRIED TO CRANK BUT WOULDN'T TURN OVER WHEN IT STARTED JUST THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON MY DASH NO MORE ERRORS WERE DISPLAYED. I DID MANAGE TO TAKE PICTURES WITH MY CELLPHONE BEFORE. I WANT DODGE TO OWN UP AND FIX THIS INSTEAD OD PUTTING A BANDAID AND SENDING ME ALONG. CUSTOMER CARE HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL AT ALL AND THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BUT THE DEFECT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE DEFECT. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V28000 (POWER TRAIN) BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.
MY 2013 DODGE DART HAD A TIRE WITH LESS THAN 7000 MILES ON IT BUBBLE AT THE SIDEWALL. THIS WAS FOUND BY THE TIRE SHOP THAT (RIGHTLY) REFUSED TO RE-INSTALL THE TIRE. THEY DID NOT HAVE THE MODEL IN STOCK, SO I ENDED UP BUYING 2 NEW TO BE SAFE ON THE ROAD. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS A IMPACT RELATED DAMAGE, IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND THERE IS NO ROAD-HAZARD. THE SAME MODEL TIRE WAS RECALLED BY KUHMO LAST YEAR ACCORDING TO THE FORUMS. I DO STILL HAVE THE OLD TIRE. THE REST OF THE TIRE LOOKS FINE AND HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED. THEIR REASONING WAS THAT IF YOU CANNOT SEE IT WHEN DEFLATED, THEN IT WAS IMPACT RELATED, NOT MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I CAN FIND IT EITHER WAY. *TR
NOT SURE IF IT IS A REAL CONCERN, JUST CHECKING TO SEE IF ANY ONE ELSE HAS HAD ISSUE WITH STEERING, MY SON DRIVES THIS CAR AND SAYS WHEN DRIVING, WHEN HE GOES TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IT IS LIKE IT IS LOCKED -- (EXAMPLE) WHEN WENT TO TURN LEFT IT WOULD NOT TURN, LET OFF OR TURN WHEEL TO RIGHT THEN HE COULD GO AHEAD AND IT WOULD LET HIM TURN TO LEFT, GOING TO GET IT TO DEALER TO BE CHECKED BUT I WAS WONDERING IF ANY ONE ELSE HAS SAID ANY THING ABOUT THE STEERING ON THIS CAR? IT IS A SWEET CAR AND THIS HAS BEEN THE FIRST ISSUE WITH IT. MY SON SAID IT DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE REPORTED OR IF THIS IS A FIRST. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH DODGE AN WE ARE GETTING ON TOP OF IT. BY ALL MEANS I AM NOT COMPLAINING I JUST WAS WONDERING. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
ONE OF MY TIRE INFLATION SENSORS IS BAD BECAUSE THE WARNING IN THE DASH SHOWS 11-13 PSI WHEN THE TIRE IS AT 32 LIKE THE OTHER TIRES. I WENT TO DEALER BUT THEY JUST PUT NITROGEN IN TIRES AND SAID ITS BECAUSE OF THE COLD. *TR
I WANT TO REPORT THAT THE WIPERS CAN NOT CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD PROPERLY. IF YOU TRY TO DRIVE THROUGH A TORRENTIAL RAIN THE WINDSHIELD IS WET, EVEN IN THE HIGHEST SPEED. AND ALSO THE WINDSHIELD (GLASS) ABSORBS THE DIRTY , OIL, ETC, SO IT IS VERY COMPLICATED TO CLEAN WITH THE WINDSHIELD CLEANER OR OTHER PRODUCTS THAT ARE SPECIFIC FOR THIS PURPOSE. *TR
VEHICLE IS THE 1.4L MULTIAIR TURBO MODEL WITH THE DDCT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WAITING IN A PARKING LOT, STOPPED IN EVENT TRAFFIC, CAR BEGAN EMITTING SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES, WITH THE SMOKE INTENSIFYING, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS. RIGHT BEFORE THE SHUTOFF, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR CAME ON. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN RUNNING NO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES AND THERE WERE NO OTHER MALFUNCTION INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON DASH, NOR HAD THERE EVER BEEN PRIOR. THE AAA PROVIDER CONFIRMED WITH ME THAT VISUALLY EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FINE AND IN PROPER WORKING CONDITION WITH ALL FLUID LEVELS IN ACCEPTABLE RANGES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IS CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED. VEHICLE WAS ORDERED MAY 11, 2013 AND RECEIVED AUGUST 19, 2013. CURRENTLY HAS 5555 MILES. THIS EVEN SOUNDS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO COMPLAINT NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10496762 QUOTED BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY: TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN A PARKING LOT IDLING, SMOKE STARTED TO EMIT THROUGH THE VENTS AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE LOW WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,600 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,000. *TR
PRESSED IN CLUTCH PEDAL TO START VEHICLE. AFTER CAR STARTED, TRIED TO TAKE CAR OUT OF GEAR BUT IT WOULDN'T BUDGE. ALSO, THE CLUTCH PEDDLE WOULD NOT RELEASE, AS IT WAS STUCK TO THE FULLY PRESSED POSITION. CAR BEGAN TO ROLL AS IF IT STARTED TO DISENGAGE BUT THE PEDDLE WAS STILL COMPLETELY PRESSED IN. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF. I HAD TO PULL THE CLUTCH PEDDLE UP BY HAND TO GET IT TO DISENGAGE. CALLED DEALER SERVICE, SAID THEY COULDN'T RESOLVE THE ISSUE IF THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I'VE NOTICED MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. *TR
WAS GOING TO PICK UP MY BOYFRIEND AND WHEN 3 MILES FROM HOME OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND WAS TRYING TO GET TO A SAFE PULL OFF SPOT WHEN THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY.(THIS SECTION OF HIGHWAY WAS AN AREA OF MAJOR SEMI-TRUCK TRAFFIC) ALL THE OIL HAD DRAINED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WAS TWO CERTAIN PARTS AND WOULD BE READY THE NEXT DAY. CALLED BACK AND SAID NOW SOMETHING ELSE WRONG AND HAD TO ORDER ANOTHER PART (THE TURBO) THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE READY. THIS CAR HAS 249 MILES AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT! I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND I AM FURIOUS WITH DODGE WHEN THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL CAR AND JUST CONTINUE TO IGNORE OR BLAME THE CUSTOMERS. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED! WILL BE LOOKING INTO SOME KIND OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *JS
TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND TRAVELED ANOTHER 15 MILES BEFORE TRANSMISSION DISCONNECTED FROM ENGINE WHILE IN DRIVE GEAR. VEHICLE TOWED TO NEAREST DODGE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT A MODULE MOUNTED ON THE SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE. PART INSTALLED 5 DAYS LATER. VEHICLE TAKEN FOR QUALITY CHECK AND VEHICLE STOPPED DURING RIDE AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. DEALER DROPPED TRANSMISSION PAN AND FOUND BROKEN PARTS. PARTS ORDERED AND INSTALLED 5 DAYS LATER. VEHICLE TAKEN FOR ANOTHER CHECK RIDE AND LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. TECH SERVICE INDICATED THAT TRANSMISSION COMPUTER WAS DEFECTIVE AND ANOTHER 5 DAYS BEFORE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. DEALER SEND EMAIL DESCRIBING THAT PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR 6 MORE WEEKS. BY THIS COMING MONDAY, VEHICLE WILL HAVE BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 26 DAYS. DODGE CUSTOMER CARE STATES THEY ARE RESTRAINED FROM INSTALLING A NEW TRANSMISSION AND DEALER WILL CONTINUE TO ATTEMPT ALL REPAIRS. DODGE SOLUTION IS UNSATISFACTORY. *TR
ON THE WAY HOME MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT TURN ON. I PULLED INTO MY DEALERSHIP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. WHEN I LEFT THERE THE CRUISE STARTED WORKING. WHEN THEY LOOKED AT IT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SINCE CHRYSLERS COMPUTERS WHERE DOWN THEY COULD NOT RESEARCH WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. I WAS TOLD THAT ANOTHER LADY CALLED THAT DAY AND HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR
CLUTCH PEDAL DOES NOT ALWAYS COME ALL THE WAY BACK UP. I HAVE TO PULL IT UP WITH MY FOOT. I CAN TELL IT DOES NOT HAVE THE CLUTCH ENGAGED TO BURN IT OUT. JUST A IRRITATING THING TO HAVE TO DO ON A BRAND NEW CAR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER ISSUE AND HAD THEM CHECK IT. THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO STICK. AND SINCE CHRYSLERS SYSTEM WAS DOWN THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO LOOK AT. THIS HAPPENS AND RANDOM TIMES. THIS MORNING IT HAPPENED. WHEN I WENT TO PUSH THE CLUTCH DOWN I COULD TELL THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE FOR A FEW INCHES. WHEN I RELEASED THE CLUTCH IT ONLY CAME PART WAY UP AGAIN. BIGGEST FRUSTRATION IS THE TECH'S CAN NOT PROBLEM SOLVE ANYTHING WITH OUT A COMPUTER TELLING THEM WHAT TO DO. I MADE A FEW SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO CHECK BUT THEY HAD NOT CLUE. SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THIS CAR I DO EXPECT BUGS IN THE SYSTEM. HOWEVER THEY SHOULD BE PREPARED TO PROBLEM SOLVE THIS PROBLEMS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS OR PROBLEM SOLVE IT MYSELF. *TR
WHEN I GO TO SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THE CLUTCH PEDAL STAYS DEPRESSED, THIS KEEPS THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND LEAVING IT UNABLE TO DELIVER POWER TO MANEUVER.

LIKE TWO MONTHS AGO I HEARD NOISE LIKE SOMETHING WAS VIBRATING INSIDE OF THE CAR, BUT RECENTLY WHEN I MAKE STOP, I TURNED ON THE AIR CONDITION AND THE CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND OF COURSE DEPEND OF THE LEVEL OF VIBRATION I FEEL AND IT IS TRANSMITTED FROM THE HAND TO THE CHEST AND SPECIALLY IT I AM STRESSED BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC I CAN GET NERVOUS, AND IT IS WORSE WHEN THE SPEED IN THE A/C IS INCREASED. *JB

BRAKES STARTED LOSE RESISTANCE RECENTLY ALSO AFTER LONG TIME NOT TO BE USED (1 OR MORE HOURS) SPECIALLY IN THE MORNING. IT FREELY GOING DOWN HALF WAY PRODUCING AIR BLOW SOUND. AFTER A FEW TIMES PUSHING PEDAL DOWN AIR BLOW STOPS AND RESISTANCE GETS OK. BEHIND OF BRAKE PEDAL IT FEELS SOME KING OF LIQUID. 3. ACCELERATION AT HIGH SPEED TAKES LONGER TIME THEN IT WAS BEFORE AND REQUIRES TO SWITCH TO LOWER GEAR. (TURBO PROBLEM?) 4. MPG DECREASED. ON THE SAME WAY TO AND BACK TO WORK USUALLY IT WAS 32-33 MPG. NOW IT GETS 28-29 TODAY BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER. AFTER A WHOLE DAY OF INSPECTION NOTHING WRONG WAS FOUND. *TR

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN I AM IN TRAFFIC AND HAVE TO DO A LOT OF START/STOP THE CAR STALLS, WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR AND START SMOKING. IT SMELLS AS IF THE CLUTCH IS BURNING AND THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. I HAVE TO PULL OVER FOR ABOUT 30MIN TO AN HOUR TO STOP THIS FROM CONTINUING. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY OF COURSE CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE TECH IS TELLING ME THE CLUTCH IS OVERHEATING BECAUSE OF USER ERROR. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A STICK SHIFT FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY OTHER STICK SHIFTS LIKE THIS ONE. EVERYONE AROUND ME CAN SEE THE CAR SMOKING AND MY DAUGHTER IS SCARED TO DEATH TO GET BACK IN THE CAR BECAUSE SHE HAS EXPERIENCED THIS TWICE NOW AND SHE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD SHE THINK THE CAR IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PULL OVER FOR AN HOUR EVERYTIME I AM IN TRAFFIC. I LIVE IN A CITY WHERE THAT IS NOT PREVENTABLE. THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR
WHEN I WAS COMING OFF OF A HIGHWAY I TRIED TO BRAKE AND MY BRAKE SOUNDED LIKE IT ACCUMULATED AIR AND THEN I HEARD A POP. THE BRAKE WENT STIFF AND I COULD NOT USE THE BRAKE. MY CAR KEPT ON GOING WITH 50MPH AND I COULD NOT USE MY BRAKE, LUCKILY ENOUGH I USED MY HAND BRAKE TO STOP MYSELF AND AVOID A CRUSH INTO A BUSY STREET. MY VEHICLE IS 8 MONTHS OLD, AND HAS 3500 MILES ON IT. THE OVERALL MAINTENANCE WAS DONE ON IT A MONTH AGO AND EVERYTHING WAS CHECKED AND WORKED CORRECTLY. *TR
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE BRAKES WENT OUT ON MY CAR...THE FIRST TIME WAS DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT 3500 MILES THANK GOD, I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT BEFORE I HAD AN ACCIDENT. TODAY AT 5700 MILES IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THEY REPLACED BOTH POWER BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND NOW IT HAPPENED AGAIN!!! IM AM SO ANGRY!!! *TR

IT IS UNSAFE TO TURN, HOT IN THE CAR ON 90 DEGREE WEATHER AND JUST ANNOYING, I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO ASSESS THIS ISSUE, IT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS, APPROX. ONE WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. THE 1ST AND SECOND GEARS ALSO DO NOT WORK WELL, I HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING IT IN 1ST GEAR AND IT WILL STALL OUT. THE SECOND GEAR IS JERKY. THE ACCELERATION HAS DECREASED OVER THE SHORT TIME I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. OVERALL NOT THE BEST VEHICLE I HAVE DRIVEN. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN IT BUT HAVE A LARGE LOAN TO PAY ON IT. *TR

WHEN I WENT TO TAKE OFF, ACROSS A HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE CORRECTLY. IT WOULD ONLY RUN ABOUT 1MPH. CAUSING ME TO BARELY MAKE IT ACROSS THE ROAD BEFORE BEING HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. CHRYSLER IS CHECKING IT OUT AND ARE ASSUMING IT IS THE TURBO-CHARGER. THEY ARE ASKING MY MECHANIC TO PULL THE TURBO-CHARGER DOWN AND SEND TO THEM PICTURES BEFORE THEY MAKE ANY FURTHER JUDGMENTS ON THE PROBLEM. I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR APPOX. 2 1/2 WEEKS WHEN THE TROUBLE OCCURRED. MY CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP AND THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHEN IT COULD BE FIXED. I JUST MADE THE FIRST PAYMENT ON JULY 17, 2013 AND DON'T HAVE USE OF MY CAR. *TR
I WAS GOING TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSY STREET . I WENT TO TURN THE WHEEL SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR DIED AS I WAS TRYING TO MERGE .I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN IT DIED AND THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT THE DEALER ALWAYS SAYS "WE CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM". IT HAS DONE THIS A FEW MORE TIMES SINCE THEN AND IT HAPPENS WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL QUICKLY. IT ALSO HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY IN REVERSE THEN SHIFTING TO DRIVE AND AS SOON AS YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THE POWER ALMOST SHUTS OFF OR IT WILL COMPLETELY DIE. *TR
THE COOLING SYSTEM HAD HAD PROBLEMS WITH GOING UP AND DOWN .IT HASN'T GOT ALL THE WAY UP THE THE "H" OR HOT MARK BUT IT GOES UP TO THE 3/4 MARK QUITE REGULARLY AND IT SMELLS LIKE HOT ELECTRICAL PARTS . IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN STOPPED AT LIKE SAY A "DRIVE THROUGH" LINE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE BUT NOT MOVING. I'VE TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAW PICTURES AND I EVEN MADE IT GET UP TO 3/4 ON THE TEMP GAUGE AND THEY SAY THAT AS LONG AS IT IS NOT ON THE "H" THEN IT IS FINE AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE THERE ARE FLAPS THAT CLOSE WHEN NOT MOVING . I HAVE CHECKED WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE TECHNICIANS AND THEY SAY THAT THE TEMP GOING UP LIKE THAT WILL AFFECT THE LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE IN A NEGATIVE WAY , BUT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S O.K . I'VE NEVER DROVE A CAR THAT HAS DID THIS AND NOT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM AND AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL AFFECT MY CAR IN THE LONG RUN. *TR
WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES PER HOUR DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY DART SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. THE STEERING WHEEL ACTED AS IF THERE WAS NO KEY IN IT AND LOCKED UP. THE BREAKS SLOWLY APPLIED THEMSELVES, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL SO THAT I COULD MOVE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE WORKED WITH THE COMPANY AND THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WILL NOT DUPLICATE FOR ANY REASON. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH POWER OF THE VEHICLE EVERY MONTH SINCE JANUARY. WITHER IT BE NOT STARTING OR FAILING TO KEY LESS START. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME FOR COMPLETE POWER FAILURE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND WANTS ME TO DRIVE IT AROUND WITH A BLACK BOX IN IT. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 13 DART (1.4 W/6SPD) AND AT THE 200 MILE MARK THE CAR BEGAN TO "SURGE" WHEN SHIFTING THROUGH 2ND AND 3RD GEAR, FROM 2,700 TO 3,300 RPMS. INITIALLY IT WAS JUST ANNOYING AND NOTICEABLE. MY 1ST TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME DODGE SAID IT IS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE MULTIAIR TURBO, AND I SHOULD SWITCH TO PREMIUM FUEL. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP I DROVE A USED 1.4/6SPD AND IT HAD THE SAME SURGING ISSUE. ANOTHER WEEK WENT BY AND AT APPROX 1,400 MILES THE SURGING COULD BE FELT IN 4TH GEAR. A SECOND TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. AGAIN, DODGE TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER "IT'S NORMAL. SWITCH TO PREMIUM." I THEN SWITCHED TO PREMIUM AND AFTER THREE FULL TANKS THE VEHICLE NOW SURGES IN 2 TO 6TH GEAR, ALL AROUND 2,700 TO 3,300 RPMS. ADDITIONALLY, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS GOING 45MPH IN 4TH AND WHEN I TRIED TO SPEED UP THE CAR WOULD SURGE VIOLENTLY AND I HAD TO PULL OVER TO AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. NOW, A THIRD TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP STILL NO RESOLUTION. NOW, AT 6,100 MILES, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH WVA HILLS AND IN 6TH AT 75MPH THE CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SURGE CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I HAVE SWITCHED BACK TO 87 GRADE GAS BUT I ONLY GET 39MPG AVG VS 45MPG AVG I WAS GETTING. INITIALLY, I WAS EXCITED ABOUT MY NEW PURCHASE AND THE DEALERSHIP COMMUNICATED WITH ME EXTENSIVELY. NOW THAT THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION FOR THIS "NORMAL" SURGE THE GM WON'T CALL ME BACK OR ANSWER MY CALLS. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER THE INITIAL CASE MANAGER TOOK MY CASE FOR INVESTIGATION, BUT AFTER ONLY 2 DAYS SHE TOLD ME THE CASE HAS BEEN FORWARDED UP TO A HIGHER LEVEL EXECUTIVE INVESTIGATION TEAM, BUT IN OVER A WEEK I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. NOW EVEN THE INITIAL CASE MANAGER WON'T RESPOND. DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THE SURGE ISSUE IN EVERY REPAIR INVOICE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I ATTEMPTED TO DOWNSHIFT TO CHANGE LANES. THE CLUTCH BASICALLY POPPED AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. I THEN HAD TO SWERVE IN TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE A 2013 DART SXT WITH THE 1.4L MULTIAIR ENGINE AND THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION. AFTER LOOKING AROUND ON THERE WEB, THIS IS APPARENTLY NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND MAY ACTUALLY BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLES. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO NOT ONLY FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. I HAVE FOUND THAT SOME VEHICLES HAVE THIS HAPPEN IN AS LITTLE AS THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF OWNERSHIP OR AS IN MY CASE, AFTER A FEW THOUSAND MILES. IT IS DANGEROUS. I WOULD PUT IN THE VIN, BUT THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AS THIS HAPPENED TODAY. THANK YOU. *TR

THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE AND DECIDED TO RESET THE COMPUTER AS A TEMPORARY REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 900.
AS I WAS DRIVING THE DODGE DART (2013) THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BOLT FOR THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT SUSPENSION EITHER BROKE, VIBRATED OUT, OR WAS NEVER SCREWED IN PROPERLY AT THE PLANT. THE CAR HAD 400 MILES ON IT. THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS TO THE LEFT (INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC). THERE WAS GRINDING AND LOUD NOISES AS I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THAT THE CAR WAS MISSING A BOLT WHEN HE WENT TO HOOK THE CHAIN UP UNDERNEATH THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TRIED PASS IT OFF AS, "WE ALLIGNED IT AND ITS READY FOR YOU TO PICK UP". I TOLD THEM I KNEW THE BOLT WAS GONE BECAUSE THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY TOLD ME IT WAS. I TOLD THEM I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I SAID I DO NOT WANT TO BE A STATISTIC IN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AT A LATER DATE. BOTH CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION. LOU FUSZ SAID IT WAS CHRYSLER'S PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER TOLD ME TO WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID, "THANK GOD YOU WEREN'T ON THE HIGHWAY". WE'LL I HAD MY FAMILY IN THIS CAR FOR 2 WEEKS DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT COULD HAVE HURT OR KILLED SOMEONE. I HAD NOT SIGNED OVER THE PAPERWORK TO MY DODGE JOURNEY YET (WHICH HAD A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT OVER THE BRAKES WHICH IS WHY I WAS WANTING TO TRADE IT IN) BUT THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME MY CAR BACK. I SAID THEN PUT ME IN ANOTHER CAR BUT THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME MORE FOR THE CAR WE WANTED. I THEN ASKED TO GIVE ME THE CASH FOR THE TRADE IN. WE HAVE BEEN LOYAL TO CHRYSLER (PURCHASED 7 NEW CARS OVER THE YEARS). THE REFUSAL TO OFFER ANY TYPE OF RESOLUTION WAS UNBELIEVABLE. THEY REGISTER YOUR PHONE NUMBER IN A SYSTEM SO WHEN YOU CALL IN AND ASK TO TALK WITH A MANAGER THEY DIRECT YOU RIGHT BACK TO THE SAME DEPARTMENT WHO TELL YOU THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS NOT A CUSTOMER SERVICE OR "CUSTOMER LOYALTY DEPT" IT IS A SYSTEM OF CONTINOUS DENIAL AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL JUST GET TIRED AND GO AWAY. *TR

WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN THE ACCELATOR PEDDLE STUCK UNDER THE FLOOR MAT. I NOTICED THE FACTORY MAT SLIDING AROUND A MONTH AGO AND RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD TO BUY NEW AFTER MARKET MATS. I REMOVED THE DRIVER-SIDE MAT AND ORDERED AFTER MARKETS. THE NEW MATS HAVE LARGER LUGS TO HOLE THEM IN PLACE. BUT IT MOVED AGAIN AND WHILE ACCELERATING AWAY FORM THE STOP SIGN THE PEDDLE STUCK UNDER THE MAT. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO REACH DOWN AND PULL THE PEDDLE UP. AT THIS POINT I HAVE REMOVE ALL DRIVER-SIDE MATS. I ALSO CALLED THE DODGE OWNERS HELP LINE AND WAS INFORMED THAT (MORE OR LESS) IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. IF A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER HAD BEEN AT THE WHEEL THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A MUCH WORSE OUT COME. *TR
THIS VEHICLE SHIFTS SO BAD AND THAT CARS I'VE DRIVEN THAT WERE 5 - 10 YEARS OLDER SHIFTED BETTER THAN THIS . IT DOWNSHIFTS WHILE BRAKING AND SOMETIME IT IS A VERY JERKY DOWNSHIFT .ALSO IT SLAMS/JOLTS INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE ROLLING AT ABOUT 3-5 MILES PER HOUR ONCE THE PEDAL IS PUSHED. IT ALSO IS THE WORST AT CHANGING GEARS DURING STOP AND GO DRIVING BECAUSE IT IS SO JERKY AND BOUNCY AFTER BRAKING THEN ACCELERATING AND I DON'T SEE WHY A CAR THAT IS BRAND NEW SHOULD DO THIS. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AND HAVING THEM TELL ME TO BRAKE IT IN FIRST , I HAVE DONE SO AND HAVE 700+ MILES ON IT AND HAVE HAD THEM PERFORM TRANSMISSION FLASH UPDATES WITH NO EFFECT ON THE SHIFTING PROBLEMS. I CAN'T SEE HOW THIS TRANSMISSION( AND ALL PARTS THAT WORK TOGETHER WITH IT )WILL LAST WITH THESE SORT OF THINGS HAPPENING. ALSO IT BOGS OUT BECAUSE IT WON'T DOWNSHIFT WHEN IT SHOULD AND STAYS AT ABOUT 1300-1400 RPM'S WHEN IT SHOULD BE ABOUT 4-5000 RPM'S HIGHER . I'VE DRIVEN NEW CARS AND THE DODGE DART 2013 SE 2.0 LITER MODEL SEEMS LIKE IT WASN'T READY YET FOR THE ROAD .THE ACCELERATION IS VERY BOUNCY TOO WHEN IT SHOULD BE A STEADY ACCELERATION. *TR
THE DASHBOARD HAS LOUD RATTLE SINCE LEFT DEALER,BROUGHT BACK THREE TIMES,NOW WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKED FROM INSIDE LOWER LEFT CONTACTED CHRYSLER,THE WANT TO REMOVE DASH,REPLACE WINDSHIELD,I TOLD THEM TO TAKE CAR BACK IM NOT GONNA BE CHRYSLER GUINEA PIG, CAR WILL NOT BE SAME I TOLD THEM, NOT EVEN TWO MONTHS OLD. *TR
MY ASSESSMENT, WHICH IS BASED ON ENGINEERING EXPERTISE NOT EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE, SUGGESTS THAT, RATHER THAN RESPONDING TO DRIVER CONTROLLED BY-WIRE" INSTRUCTIONS TO BRAKE PREPARATORY TO A HARD RIGHT TURN INTO OUR DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE TOOK CONTROL OF THE THROTTLE, BRAKE, AND (DRIVE-BY-WIRE ?) CLUTCH PROPELLING ITSELF 20 METERS FURTHER DOWN-ROAD TO THE RIVER SHORELINE. PERHAPS READING THE BRAKE COMMAND AS AN ACCELERATION INSTRUCTION (OR ???) THE VEHICLE CONTINUED FORWARD AND DROVE ITSELF OFF THE ROAD, TUMBLING 2 METRES ONTO A BEACH, THEN FROM THE BEACH ONTO THE RIVER ICE WHICH EXTENDS OUT TOWARDS MID-RIVER. IT CONTINUED ACROSS THAT ICE ONLY TO END ITS FORWARD PROGRESS AT THE ICE/WATER BOUNDARY WHERE IT PLUNGED INTO OPEN WATER WITHIN 100 METERS OF HOME. THESE EVENTS EFFECTIVELY ENDING A JOURNEY HOME WITH DEATH. THE OTTAWA CORONER REPORTS NO INDICATION (SUCH AS BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVELS / MEDICAL EVENTS) TO INDICATE THE DRIVER CONTRIBUTED TO THIS OUTCOME IN ANY WAY. IF THE DRIVER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE THEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS EVENT LIES WITH THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE ALONE. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT (1) MY SON IS A PROFESSIONAL AZ LICENSED DRIVER (2) HAVING FISHED IT OFTEN, IS INTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH THE ROAD/FERRY BOUNDARY IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO OUR HOME (3) WERE MECHANICALLY OPERATED STEERING ALL THAT REMAINED UNDER HIS CONTROL HE WOULD HAVE HAD THREE CHOICES: RIGHT INTO THE RIVER; STRAIGHT AHEAD INTO THE RIVER, OR LEFT ONTO A BEACH FORMED BY THE DEPOSITION OF RIVER SILT OVER TIME (THE CAR WENT LEFT OFF THE ROAD) (4) THE RECORD LEFT BY HIS BODY SHOWS ARM AND FIST POSTURE THAT SUGGEST DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS LITERALLY FORCED HIS HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL. STRAPPED AND PINNED TO THEIR SEATS BY THE VEHICLES SAFETY SYSTEMS, MY WIFE AND SON WERE HELPLESS ONLOOKERS AS THE VEHICLE DELIVERED THEM TO THEIR DEATH. BLACK BOX ANALYSIS TO FOLLOW. *TR

MY GRANDMA WANTED TO RIDE IN THE DART THAT I HAD BOUGHT ON 10/26/12. I ONLY PUT ABOUT 10 MILES ON THE DART & IT IS A MANUAL 6 SPEED. I LET MY GRANDMA INTO THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT, I STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ALREADY ENGAGED, BUT I DOUBLE CHECKED IT & RE-PULLED UP ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, I THEN PULLED UP ONE MORE TIME TO MAKE SURE IT WAS FULLY ENGAGED BECAUSE MY DRIVEWAY IS SLANTED. I THEN TURNED ON THE A/C SINCE IT WAS ABOUT 80 DEGREES OUT. I LEFT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPEN. I TOLD MY GRANDMA THAT I WAS GOING TO MOVE HER CAR SINCE IT WAS BLOCKING THE DRIVEWAY & PARKED IN THE STREET & THEN WE CAN GO TO LUNCH. I WALKED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY & MADE IT TO HER DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHEN I HEARD MY 76 YEAR OLD GRANDMOTHER SCREAMING I LOOKED UP & SAW MY DODGE DART ROLLING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AS IF NO E-BRAKE WAS ON AT ALL. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ON THE DART SMASHED INTO MY GRANDMA'S CAR THE DOOR ON THE DART THEN SMASHED INTO THE FRONT FENDER OF THE DART THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR RUBBED & DAMAGED THE REAR FENDER OF MY GRANDMOTHERS CAR. THE DART THEN CAME TO A STOP ABOUT A 1/3 WAY INTO THE STREET ABOUT 50FT FROM WHERE I HAD THE DART PARKED. I JUMPED INTO THE DART & CHECKED ON MY GRANDMOTHER SHE HAD NO SERIOUS INJURIES. I LOOK DOWN AT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE & THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS FULLY ENGAGED & IN THE SAME POSITION THAT I LEFT IT IN. THIS CAR DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY IT TOOK ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS BEFORE IT STARTED ROLLING. IT ACTED LIKE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED THEN JUST DISENGAGED & ROLLED AT A HIGH SPEED. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY & TO DODGE. DODGE IS SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO GIVE ME A COPY OF THE REPORT. *TR
