2012 Dodge Dart

WHILE DRIVING, EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH LOW POWER DURING ACCELERATION, BACK FIRING, MISFIRING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT & TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON, STAYS ON. CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AFTER A FEW DAYS, CORRECTS ITSELF AND IS OK FOR A DAY OR SO BUT CONTINUES AGAIN. VERY CONCERNING IN TRAFFIC. CLUTCH WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND SO FAR NOT REOCCURRING (RECALL). ELECTRICAL ISSUE, POSSIBLE SOMETHING STAYING OPEN, DRAINING BATTERY. AFTER SITTING ALL DAY, CAR WOULD NOT UNLOCK, HAD TO ENTER CAR WITH ACTUAL MANUAL UNLOCK. UPON OPENING, THE DASH LIGHTS WERE ALL FLASHING, THE DISPLAY SCREEN WAS FLASHING UNREADABLE IMAGES. ALL INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON, STAYED ON. WHEN DOOR SHUT, PANEL LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE FUEL AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGES STARTING JUMPING, OPENED THE DOOR, GAUGES STOPPED AND LIGHTS CAME ON. WIPER BLADES ACTIVATED ON THEIR OWN, VERY SLOWLY. COULD NOT UNLOCK ANY DOOR OR OPEN TRUNK DURING THIS TIME. JUMPED THE CAR, STARTED VERY QUICKLY. WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AS IT IS NOT CHARGING FULLY. REAR BRAKES ARE NOT WEARING PROPERLY.. CAR MILEAGE 35,500.. VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS CAR'S PERFORMANCE.

A FEW THINGS HAS BEEN OCCURRING REGARDING MY CAR. THE FIRST THING IS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES AND WHEN I GOT IT CHECKED, THE CAR WOULDN'T START RIGHT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED, HOWEVER, THEY REPORTED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE SECOND THING AND MOST SCARIEST IS MY BRAKES. MY BRAKES ARE TOTALLY MESSED UP AS THEY CONSTANTLY LOCK AND IT'S HARD TO PRESS ON THE BREAKS. THEREFORE I DO NOT DRIVE LONG DISTANCES BECAUSE I AM AFRAID I WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO GET DIAGNOSED AND THEY TOLD ME THE MY BRAKES AND ROTARS ARE SEVERELY DAMAGED AND INFACT IT WON'T PASS THE SAFETY CHECK IN THE STATE OF NY.

TAKATA RECALL, MY 2013 DODGE DART IS PART OF THE 15V-800 NHTSA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION AT THE BEGINNING OF 2015, I BELIEVE, THAT THE RECALL HAD OCCURRED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE CURRENT PART TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. I WENT IN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER AND WAS ADVISED OF THE SAME ISSUE. IN JUNE OF 2016, THE GAUGES FLICKERED BUT THE VEHICLE TURNED ON. LATER ON THAT DAY THE VEHICLE DID NOT TURN ON AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I REPLACED THE BATTERY. I WENT IN FOR MY REGULAR OIL CHANGE IN DECEMBER OF 2016 AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX THE ISSUE AT THE MOMENT AND WOULD CONTACT ME. I INFORMED THEM THAT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT I COULD NOT GET THE OIL CHANGE UNLESS I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE THERE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I INQUIRED ABOUT GETTING A RENTAL DUE TO THE FACT OF ME NOT KNOWING HOW LONG THE VEHICLE WOULD REMAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT PROVIDE RENTAL VEHICLES. YESTERDAY, I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN OIL CHANGE AND MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE RECALL RESOLVED. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS. I WENT TO TURN ON MY VEHICLE AND THE BATTERY WAS ONCE AGAIN DRAINED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A DEALERSHIP CAN TELL ITS CUSTOMERS THAT THEY DO NOT ISSUE RENTAL VEHICLES WHEN IT IS PART OF A NATIONWIDE SAFETY RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP BLATANTLY DISREGARDED THE MY SAFETY.
