2012 Dodge Dart

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.

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 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

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.

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!!! (XXXXX) 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).

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.

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".
