TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PROCEEDED TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. ONCE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE; HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND REMAINED IN LOW GEAR.

THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME FOR THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.

WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE SHIFTER WHET LIMP AND THE CAR WAS STUCK IN REVERSE. I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR OR REMOVE THE KEYS. THE CAR WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND HAD TO BE TOWED FOR REPAIR. AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THE SHIFT CONTROL CABLE HAD BROKEN AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE CAR WAS OLDER THAN 36 MONTHS. I PAID TO HAVE THE SHIFT CONTROL CABLE REPLACED. FAILURE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 24,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE SHIFT SELECTOR SEEMED TO BE DISCONNECTED OR NOT ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK.

I OWN A 2013 DODGE DART 1.4L TURBO 6 SPEED MANUAL. EVERYTIME I TRY TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE FROM A STOP THE SHIFTER ONLY GOES HALF-WAY IN. I CAN GET IT IN GEAR AFTER DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH SEVERAL TIMES. THE POWERTRAIN CONTOL MODULE WAS REPLACED IN 2014, AND WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY STATED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WAS TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. MY CAR ONLY HAS 52K MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTER SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION GEAR IS NOT AVAILABLE" WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101.

THIS CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM), AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM). THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND DODGE IS STILL TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. BEFORE REPLACING THE BODY CONTROL MODULE THE CAR WASN'T STARTING SO THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, IT TURNS OUT THE BCM WAS STAYING ON AND DRAWING POWER FORM THE BATTERY WHILE THE CAR WAS OFF. WE WERE CONSTANTLY HAVING TO JUMP THE CAR TO GET IT STARTED. AFTER THAT THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING FUNNY IT WOULD SHIFT HARD, SHIFT INTO LOW GEARS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. ALSO WHEN FIRST STARTED OR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC INTERSECTIONS THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT INTO 4TH GEAR ON ITS OWN UNLESS IN SPORT MODE AND DONE MANUALLY. THIS MAKES IT ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY WHICH IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING OUT INTO AN INTERSECTION. AFTER REPLACING THE TCM THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL OCCURRING, IT IS CURRENTLY BEING LOOKED AND THE CAUSE IS STILL UNKNOWN.
