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.

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.
