THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS SERVICE TRANSMISSION. AUTO STICK DISABLED. I HAVE TAKEN IT MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE MADE MULTIPLE REPAIRS, INCLUDING RECALLS AND A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. STILL THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND THE COMPANY DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE THAT MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP.

IN AUGUST 2016 MY CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR ON THE 405 FREEWAY IN CAGOING 65MPH. THIS CAUSING NO GEAR CHANGE AND CONTROL OVER VEHICLE, CHRYSLER REPAIRED THE MASTER CYLINDER UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. (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.

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 NATION

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

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
