2012 Dodge Dart

I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY DART 2 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT, TCM LOST COMMUNICATION WHILE TRAVELING 70+ MPH DOWN HIGHWAY HAD TO TOW CAR. HAD TCM FLASHED(REPAIR 1), DROVE 2-3K MILE MORE, HAPPENED AGAIN, BROUGHT IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACED TCM (REPAIR 2, BEFORE TCM RECALL WAS ISSUED.) ABOUT 10K MILES LATER HAD TO BRING IT BACK, HAD TCM FLASHED AGAIN (REPAIR 3), ABOUT 10K MILES LATER TCM HAS PROBLEM AGAIN WHILE TRAVELING 40+ MILES DOWN A VERY BUSY CITY STREET AND NEED TO TOW VEHICLE, THIS NEW DEALERSHIP REPLACED TCM AGAIN (REPAIR 4 AFTER TCM RECALL IS ISSUED, 4K MILES LATER CAR IS NOW THROWING CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS FOR BCM, AND PCM WHICH I AM TOLD IS CONNECTED TO THE TCM. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF FILING A LEMON LAW CLAIM AGAINST CHRYSLER, A THREE YEAR OLD CAR THAT I PAID ALMOST $30,000 SHOULD NOT CAUSE SO MUCH STRESS. I CANNOT ALLOW MY FAMILY TO BE IN DANGER, I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT NEITHER ISSUE RESULTED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BUY MY VEHICLE BACK. I DO NOT WISH TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT SERVICING THE VEHICLE AGAIN, OR TRADING THEM FOR A NEWER VEHICLE AS THEY HAVE LOST MY TRUST AS A COMPANY.

TAKATA RECALL - ON 8/9/2016 I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP. THE GEAR SHIFT/CLUTCH SKIPS, STICKS, AND JUMPS, WHENEVER I MOVE IT FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE. THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY. ALSO, THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME WITH A DRY CABLE BRAKE WIRE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO MAKE A VERY LOUD NOISE. I REPORTED THESE ISSUES TO THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM, THEY LUBRICATED THE BRAKE CABLE WIRE, HOWEVER, THEY SAID THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR DUAL CLUTCHES TO DO THIS - SKIP, JUMP, AND STICK. ALSO, THE VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE, AND THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE COME SAID THIS IS NORMAL. THIS CAR HAD LOW MILEAGE ON IT AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE (38,013), I HAVE FILED A CLAIM AGAINST DODGE, BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO, I DISCOVERED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS PROBLEMS SINCE THE TIME THAT HE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, WHICH THE VEHICLE HAD 0 MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME, AND EVEN HE FILED A CLAIM AGAINST DODGE FOR THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS, PLUS FOR OTHER COMPONENT FAILURES SINCE THE DAY THAT HE PURCHASED IT.

**TAKATA RECALL**I HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED AUTO WITHIN WARRANTY. CLUTCH SLIPPED COUPLE OF TIMES LAST MONTH AND NOW IT STUCK TO FLOOR AND THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE AREA OF TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH. MY BROTHER IN LAW AND SON WORK ON CARS AND ADVISED MY TO LET DEALER KNOW. I DID SCHEDULE AN APPT WITH DEALER PRIOR TO CAR FINALLY DID NOT MOVE. WHEN I DID TOW IT TO DEALER THEY ADVISED IT WAS DUE TO MY OVER RIDING OF CLUTCH. I HAVE HAD STANDARD CLUTCH AUTOS ALL MY LIFE AND I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE THEM. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY CALLED DEALER AND WAS ADVISED NOW MY MILES IS OVER THE WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRES 11/8/2018 FOR X62 HYDRAULIC CLUTCH. SO, MY ISSUE IS, I DID NOT OVER RIDE MY CLUTCH AND WHAT DOES WARRANTY HAVE TO DO WITH MY CLUTCH ISSUED FOR THE 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENING. I HAVE HAD MY DODGE DART FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS COME THIS NOVEMBER. MY AUTO IS STILL WITH BUD CLARY DOGDE IN AURBURN, WA AND THEY ADVISED I NEED TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTICS TEST OF $136.88. FOR SAFETY, I WOULD LIKE TO THEM REPLACE CLUTCH OR BUY THE CAR BACK TO I COULD PURCHASE A CAR THAT IS SAFE. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT UNSAFE FOR MYSELF, PASSENGERS AND THOSE AROUND ME. CAR STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WE PUSHED TO NEARBY GAS STATION . **MY CASE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION WITH CHYRSLER AND STILL AWAITING RESULTS....**CASE# 2990499**..HELP!!!!

MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT HAS CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO MONTHS. MILAGE IS AT 24,000 AND ALREADY TRANMISSION ISSUES. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AT THAT TIME THE LIGHT WAS OFF THEY TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY AND THAT IT WILL TAKE 6 WEEKS FOR THEM TO LOOK AT THE ISSUE. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. ALSO I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND IT WOULD NOT TURN ON I WAITED 7 MINUTES AND IT TURNED ON BUT THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WAS ON.
