I WAS DRIVING MY BROTHER TO WORK TONIGHT 10/22/19 AT 11:50PM. I PUSHED THE CLUTCH PEDAL IN TO DOWN SHIFT BECAUSE WE SAW A DEER IN FRONT OF US AND IT CAME BACK OUT. THEN AS SOON AS IT CAME OUT IT SLOWLY GOT SUCKED TO THE FLOOR. IT IS STILL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. I CAN PULL IT BACK BUT AS SOON I PUSH O. IT IT JUST GETS SUCKED BACK TO THE FLOOR. I TRIED UPLOADING A PICTURE BUT IT WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2013. FEW MONTHS AFTER, THE FIRST ISSUE APPEARED, IT SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS PUT ME IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS MANY TIMES. I GOT A RECALL, AND FIXED. AFTER A WHILE ANOTHER ISSUE POPPED UP, THE SHIFT LEVER CAN BE MOVED TO D BUT THE TRANSMISSION STAYED IN P. AGAIN MANY TIMES I GOT STUCK IN THE ROAD, IN BAD SITUATION. I HAD TO CHECK WITH A MECHANIC AND SPEND AROUND $500 TO REPLACE THE SHIFT CABLE. THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED FOR FEW WEEKS, AND APPEARED AGAIN. AND THEN THE SECOND RECALL CAME. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER (SAFFORD SPRINGFIELD VA) AND GOT FIXED, BUT FOR 2 DAYS ONLY, AND THE PROBLEM HAS WORSEN. I CALLED THE DEALER TO BRING THE CAR TO BE CHECKED. I WAS TOLD THE SHIFT CABLE IS OK. BUT WHY IT HAS WORSEN AFTER THE SHIFT CABLE WAS "FIXED". AFTER 2 DAYS "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" POPPED UP. I DROVE MY CAR TO THE SAME DEALER AND AFTER ONE HOUR I GOT CALLED TO INFORM ME THAT MY CAR NEEDS TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT FOR $8500. IT IS NIGHTMARE I HAD WITH THIS JUNK. THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY BAD SINCE THE FIRST DAY. I NEED TO AN EXPLANATION AND A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. IF I DON'T HEAR FROM YOU I WILL RISE THIS ISSUE TO THE COURT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE RPMS CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY INCREASE AND DECREASE AS THE MANUAL CLUTCH BECAME STUCK TO THE FLOORBOARD WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (SHIVERLY MOTORS OF CHAMBERSBURG, 801 LINCOLN WAY WEST, CHAMBERSBURG, PA) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

AFTER 5 MONTHS OF MY CAR BEING IN THE SHOP AT CUMMINS DODGE IN WEATHERFORD OK THEY BROUGHT IT TO ME TODAY STATING IT WAS READY AND FIXED. THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO FIX THE RECALL IT HAD. I NOTICED THE SHIFTER KNOB DID NOT INDICATE WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN SO I CALLED STEVE AT CUMMINS AND ASKED HIM WHY IT WAS NOT SHOWING WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN. STEVE STATED HE WOULD HAVE TO GET BACK WITH THE TECHNICIAN AND GET BACK WITH ME AND DID NOT CALL BACK. I HAD DOUG GRAY TECHNICIAN COME TAKE A LOOK AND HE STATED THEY DID NOT FIX THE RECALL AND ALSO STATED THAT IT WAS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD RIGHT NOW BECAUSE SINCE THEY DID NOT FIX IT THE SHIFTER KNOB CAN BE ENGAGED INTO GEAR WITHOUT KEYS BEING IN THE VEHICLE. HE SAID FOR EXAMPLE IF YOUR DAUGHTER WAS TO GO TO THE CAR TO GET SOMETHING AND ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE SHIFTER KNOB IIT WOULD GO INTO GEAR AND ROLL AWAY. HE STATED THAT HE CAN PUT IT IN GEAR WITHOUT TURNING CAR ON WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THEY BROUGHT ME MY CAR TODAY BECAUSE I REFUSED TO DRIVE IT HOME AND HAD NO INTENTIONS OF DRIVING IT UNTIL I GET ANSWERS.

THE CAR WILL NOT START. ALL THE LIGHTS AND ELECTRICAL COME ON WHEN KEY IS IN, BUT THE CAR DOESN'T EVEN TRY TO TURN OVER. I ALREADY HAD A SENSOR REPLACED THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT KEEPS OCCURRING. GIVES A WARNING THAT STATES AUTOSTICK IS UNAVAILABLE, SERVICE TRANSMISSION. IT ALSO KEEPS TELLING ME I HAVE A PARKING LIGHT OUT, WHICH I DON'T. THE CAR ALSO HAS A BRAND NEW BATTERY. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I AM TIRED OF WONDERING IF MY CAR WILL START WHEN I NEED TO GET MY CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL.
