2012 Dodge Dart

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.

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 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.

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.

I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE INTO ELK GROVE DODGE 4 TIMES FOR THE TRANSMISSION SAFETY RECALL. EACH TIME THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT. JUNE 15, 2018 WAS THE LAST TIME THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION ERRONEOUSLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK DODGE (81 MCKNAN DR, CARY, NC) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM ALBUQUERQUE (8528 LOMAS BLVD NE, ALBUQUERQUE, NM 87110, 505-404-0108), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

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??

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK THE CAR WILL STALL AND BEGIN TO JERK. THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL BEGIN TO FLASH WHILE IN MOTION AND THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN IN SPEED AND THEN PICK BACK UP AFTER A WHILE. AFTER CRANKING THE CAR IT WILL SHUT OFF WHILE STILL PARKED. THE CAR WILL ALSO SHUT OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN ONTO ANOTHER STREET.
