2012 Dodge Dart

I BOUGHT A DODGE DART 2013 LIMITED EDITION (OR WAS TALKED INTO IT BY YOUR SALESPEOPLE) I WANTED THIS TO BE MY LAST CAR AND I ACTUALLY REALLY LIKED IT. THEN I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL RANDOMLY. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD. A LEMON LAW FIRM CONTACTED ME AND SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE CAR IF I HAD 3 OCCURRENCES WITH RECEIPTS WHICH I SUBMITTED TO THEM. THEY SAID CHRYSLER WAS GIVING ME $3900. I WAS CONFUSED BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE GIVING ME ENOUGH TO REPLACE THE CAR. THEY EXPLAINED CHRYSLER DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT. I ACTUALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT (THAT WAS 2016) AND THOUGHT THE ISSUE HAD BEEN FIXED SO I WAS HAPPY. NOW THIS PAST JULY 4TH 2019 MY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAVE RETURNED. MY CAR HAS 48,000 ONLY AND NOT EVEN THE DODGE EXTENDED WARRANTY (WHICH I WANTED TO NOW PURCHASE) DO NOT COVER 2013 MODELS. THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES TO ME. THEY KNOW THEY SOLD ME A LEMON AND ONE THAT IS NOT SAFE. I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR AND HAVE NOW LEARNED THAT LEMONS ARE BOUGHT AND SOLD BACK TO THE PUBLIC. I WILL NEVER BUY OR SPEAK WELL ABOUT CHRYSLER AGAIN. YOU ARE A FRAUDULENT COMPANY. I WANTED A HONDA ORIGINALLY BUT WAS TALKED OUT OF IT BY NEIGHBORS WHO WORK FOR CHRYSLER. I WILL BE CALLING DEENA CENTOFANTI FROM CHANNEL 2 FOX TO TELL HER I WAS SOLD AN UNSAFE CAR AND I AM STUCK WITH IT. THEY ALREADY KNOW THAT CHRYSLER KNEW THE SYSTEM DESIGN WAS FAULTY IN 2012 BUT RELEASED THE 2013 ANYWAY. SHAMEFUL.

IN THE MORNINGS WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR MY CLUTCH PEDAL STICKS DOWN AND I HQVE TO PULL IT UP USING MY FOOT/HAND. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION DARTS. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER ABIUT THE ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET SAY THAT IT IS A SLAVE/ MASTER CYLINDER ISSUE AND IF NOTHING IS DONE DURING EARLY STAGES LIKE STARTING YOUR CAR IN THE MORNING. IT DOES START TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND DOES CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A HUGE SAFTEY CONCERN THAT THEY SHOULD FIX.

I HAVE A RECALL WARNING THAT THE DODGE DART SHIFTING CABLE MAY BREAK AND THIS DID HAPPEN ON MY VEHICLE. THE DODGE DART IS AT THE DODGE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE SHIFTING CABLE BECAUSE THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX YET. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR DODGE TO FIX THE PROBLEM REGARDLESS IF THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX TO THE PROBLEM YET.

THE SHIFTER CABLE KEEPS COMING OFF AND NO ONE CAN FIX IT YET. IT IS A SAFETY DEAL FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THERE IS A RECALL ON IT BUT WHEN I CALL DODGE CAR LOTS THEY SAY IT CAN'T BE FIXED CAUSE THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR IT. I HAVE ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE IT HAS CAME OFF NOT ONCE BUT SEVERAL TIMES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A SOLUTION FOR THIS CAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE

"TAKATA RECALL" ABOUT TWO YRS AGO MY LOST CONTROL AS I TRIED TO PUT IT IN REVERSE, IT APPEARED THAT THE SHIFTING CABLE CAME APART IN THE PARKING LOT OF A FAMILY DOLLAR IN MY HOME TOWN. AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS IN REVERSE , I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO STOP IT. HAD IT REPLACE BY A PERSONAL MECHANIC. WAS OUT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, BECAUSE HAS TO ORDER THE PART FROM THE DEALERSHIP.
