NHTSA Complaint #10899574 — 2012 DODGE DART

TAKATA RECALL - ON 8/9/2016 I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP. THE GEAR SHIFT/CLUTCH SKIPS, STICKS, AND JUMPS, WHENEVER I MOVE IT FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE. THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY. ALSO, THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME WITH A DRY CABLE BRAKE WIRE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO MAKE A VERY LOUD NOISE. I REPORTED THESE ISSUES TO THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM, THEY LUBRICATED THE BRAKE CABLE WIRE, HOWEVER, THEY SAID THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR DUAL CLUTCHES TO DO THIS - SKIP, JUMP, AND STICK. ALSO, THE VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE, AND THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE COME SAID THIS IS NORMAL. THIS CAR HAD LOW MILEAGE ON IT AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE (38,013), I HAVE FILED A CLAIM AGAINST DODGE, BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO, I DISCOVERED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS PROBLEMS SINCE THE TIME THAT HE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, WHICH THE VEHICLE HAD 0 MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME, AND EVEN HE FILED A CLAIM AGAINST DODGE FOR THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS, PLUS FOR OTHER COMPONENT FAILURES SINCE THE DAY THAT HE PURCHASED IT.
