NHTSA Complaint #10705969 — 2012 DODGE DART

CLUTCH WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND HAD TO VEER CAR INTO A TERRAIN IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING RUN OVER BY DUMP TRUCK DIRECTLY BEHIND. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND CAR IS FAIRLY NEW. (WAS PURCHASED NEW). QUICK INVESTIGATION, AND THERE IS A LAW SUIT WITH CHRYSLER INDICATING THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS DEFECT BUT THEIR DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT AND REFUSED TO REPAIR WITHOUT CHARGING. INSISTED I TAKE CAR TO ANOTHER PLACE THAT REALLY WORKS ON DODGES (???). THIS LOST OF GEAR SHIFTING IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED! UNFORTUNATELY IT IS HARD TO REACH ME BY TELEPHONE BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE SOME DETAILS AS TO HOW TO HANDLE THIS ISSUE. I HAD AN INDEPENDENT DEALER "WHO REALLY WORKS ON DODGES" TO REPAIR AND THEY CONFIRMED THE CLUTCH WAS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSED IT TO CRASH AND BURN. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS. *TR
