WHEN IT IS HOT OUT AND I FIRST GET IN VEHICLE AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT, WHEN I STEP ON CLUTCH PEDAL IT FALLS TO THE FLOOR MAKING ME HAVE TO LIFT IT UP WITH MY TOE. TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THEY SAID NOTHING IT WRONG WITH IT. NOW I CAN NOT PARK THE CAR IN GEAR BECAUSE IT WILL NOT COME OUT OF GEAR WHEN I START IT AND THE CLUTCH SINKS TO THE FLOOR

THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 OR 7 TIMES. I START MY DART AND IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. IT THE CLUTCH WILL BE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT STILL WILL NOT SHIFT. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING. IT SCARED ME I WAS GLAD I WAS NOT ON A BUSY STREET OR GOING REALLY FAST. IT IS ALSO STALLING WHEN I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO MAKE IT STALL.
