THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

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. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE FLOWERY BRANCH AUTO CARE DEALER LOCATED AT 3507 ATLANTA HWY, FLOWERY BRANCH, GA 30542; WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE GEAR AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COULD NOT CHANGE THE GEAR, THE CONTACT TRIED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. THE CONTACT WAITED 25 MINUTES AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,940.

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 <NEVER FOR THIS LONG THOUGH, USUALLY JUST HAPPENS FOR 5 MINUTES>THE PRESSURE HAS ALWAYS COME BACK, UNTIL NOW), WHICH HAS NOT HAPPENED. I AM GOING TO TRY REPLACING THE MASTER/ SLAVE CYLINDERS AND POSSIBLY FLUSH AND/OR REPLACE TRANNY LINES, BUT AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND NO GOOD REMEDY TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THIS EXACT TRANSMISSION.I WOULD NORMALLY FIX IT AND GO ON ABOUT MY BUSINESS, BUT THIS PROBLEM IS WAY TO COMMON FOR IT TO GO UNNOTICED BY THE PROPER PEOPLE. I FEEL DODGE SHOULD TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND AT THE VERY LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND OFFER THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION.

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 FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT NO RECALLS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE. 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 O

THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHN HIESTER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (940 N MAIN ST, LILLINGTON, NC 27546) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RINGS AND PISTONS HAD CRACKED DUE TO THE CONTACT PUTTING AN AFTERMARKET CBV VALVE ON THE VEHICLE.

"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.

MULITPLE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, NEEDLES ON GAUGES BOUNCE AROUND, AT 90,000 MILES AIRBAG INDICATOR CAME ON, NO DIAGNOSIS, AT 92,000 PULLED INTO WORK AND CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK, HAD TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AND PULL UP EMERGENCY BRAKE, MY CAR NOW WILL NOT TURN ON.

WHILE DRIVING, EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH LOW POWER DURING ACCELERATION, BACK FIRING, MISFIRING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT & TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON, STAYS ON. CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AFTER A FEW DAYS, CORRECTS ITSELF AND IS OK FOR A DAY OR SO BUT CONTINUES AGAIN. VERY CONCERNING IN TRAFFIC. CLUTCH WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND SO FAR NOT REOCCURRING (RECALL). ELECTRICAL ISSUE, POSSIBLE SOMETHING STAYING OPEN, DRAINING BATTERY. AFTER SITTING ALL DAY, CAR WOULD NOT UNLOCK, HAD TO ENTER CAR WITH ACTUAL MANUAL UNLOCK. UPON OPENING, THE DASH LIGHTS WERE ALL FLASHING, THE DISPLAY SCREEN WAS FLASHING UNREADABLE IMAGES. ALL INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON, STAYED ON. WHEN DOOR SHUT, PANEL LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE FUEL AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGES STARTING JUMPING, OPENED THE DOOR, GAUGES STOPPED AND LIGHTS CAME ON. WIPER BLADES ACTIVATED ON THEIR OWN, VERY SLOWLY. COULD NOT UNLOCK ANY DOOR OR OPEN TRUNK DURING THIS TIME. JUMPED THE CAR, STARTED VERY QUICKLY. 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

KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR, 81000 MILES. WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO CHECK MY MAIL AND THERE WERE NO GEARS THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK. I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT. HAVING IT TOWED TO THE SHOP.
