2012 Dodge Dart

MY CAR WAS PURCHASED 4/2013. AFTER THREE MONTHS A NEW SLAVE CYLINDER WAS INSTALLED AFTER THE COMPUTER READ NO GEARS, SERVICE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES IN THE TWO YEARS THAT I HAVE HAD THE CAR. EVERY THE I TURN THE CAR OFF AFTER THIS HAPPENS, THE COMPUTER RESETS, SO WHEN IT GETS TO THE DEALER, THE CLAIM THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY, NOW ITS EVERY DAY. I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR TO WORK FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL GIVE OUT. THE LAST FEW TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE CAR WOULDN'T START BACK UP. I HAD TO SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART. THIS IS A HAZARD. THE CAR HAS NO GEARS WHILE I'M ON THE HIGHWAY YRAVELIN AT 80 MPH. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR FOR OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY.

9/03/15 MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING WHILE GOING APPROX 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. RPM'S SHOT UP AND THE TRANS WENT OUT INSTANTANEOUSLY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, ENGINE AND TRANS LIGHTS CAME ON, CAR WOULD NOT GO IN ANY GEAR. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART IT, MEANWHILE I SAT LIKE A SITTING DUCK WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK, HOPING THAT THE SPEEDING CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS APPROACHING WOULD NOT CRASH INTO ME. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER. DEALER SAID THE CAUSE WAS A FLASHED PCM, IT WAS REPROGRAMMED I WAS TOLD IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. ON 9/05/15 1 HOUR AFTER COMING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. DEALER WAS CLOSED FOR THE WEEKEND SO I LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE, 2 HOURS LATER THE CAR STARTED BUT WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE, AN HOUR LATER, THE CAR HAD REVERSE BUT NO DRIVE.THE NEXT MORNING THE CAR STARTED, ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF AND ALL GEARS WORKED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID CODES WERE NOW SHOWING IT WAS THE TRANS RANGE SENSOR. GOT THE CAR BACK FOR THE 2ND TIME ON SEPT.16. SEPT.19 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN THE NEXT STATE, THE TRANS WENT OUT AGAIN WHILE GOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN! THIS TIME I WAS LEFT STRANDED OVER 70 HIGHWAY MILES FROM HOME. AFTER WAITING A FEW HOURS I WAS FINALLY WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME, TAKING TAKE SIDE ROADS IN CASE THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN. WHAT SHOULD'VE BEEN A 1 1/2 HOUR RIDE HOME ON THE INTERSTATE TOOK ME OVER 5 HOURS DRIVING ON SIDE ROADS. THIS CAR IS GOING BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 2 1/2 WEEKS! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, THERE ARE TOO MANY REPORTS INVOLVING THIS ISSUE ON SEVERAL WEBSITES I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE OR HAVING MY WIFE AND KIDS IN IT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY! SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE (NOT AFTER) THIS "KNOWN" TRANSMISSION STALLING ISSUE CAUSES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND KILLS SOMEONE!

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE CAR STARTED STUTTERING AND MAKING A WHOOSHING/WHISTLING SOUND. KEEP LOOSING POWER TO THE CAR. WHEN I WOULD TRY TO SPEED UP, IT WOULD MAKE IT WORSE, AND WOULD MAKE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT START BLINKING. I RAN THE CODE, THAT CAME BACK AS CODE P1ECA. I BELIEVE THIS IS PART OF THE POWER TRAIN RECALL, THOUGH MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, I BELIEVE IT NEEDS TO BE. THIS PROBLEM CAME OUT OF NOWHERE WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE, AND EVERYTHING I HAVE TRIED TO FIX IT HAS NOT WORKED.
