2012 Dodge Dart complaints

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

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

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, BEF

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

61,500MILES, SPUTTERING BETWEEN 2ND AND 4TH GEAR AROUND 2200-2700 RPMS WHEN SHIFTING UP TRYING TO SPEED UP. DEALERSHIP ADVISED OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THIS. CHANGED ALL SPARKS AND COILS, NO LUCK.

[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF. IT WAS RAINING THE MORNING, I STARTED MY CAR. I TURNED ON THE LIGHTS AND THE WIPERS. THE RAN SLOWED SO I TURN MY WIPERS ON LOW. I STOPPED MY CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE WIPERS OFF, BUT THEY WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE SPRAYER WAS WOULD NOT WORK ALSO. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE BCM AND TURNING SIGNAL MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. $1400 CHARGE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 TO 3 YEARS. IT WAS CONSIDERED BRAND NEW WHEN I BOUGHT IT WITH ONLY 3,000.

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

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.

MANUFACTURE RECALL NUMBER R36 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 15V-800 RECALL INCOMPLETE

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

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 DIFFE

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE LOCAL DEALER (HUNTER DODGE JEEP CHRYSLER JEEP RAM, 1130 AUTO MALL DR, LANCASTER, CA, 93534, 661-948-8411) WAS CONTACTED.

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.
