NHTSA Complaint #10946930 — 2012 DODGE DART

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING THE DEALER (AND MANUFACTURERER) SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY STILL "DON'T HAVE THE PART" AND I CONTINUE TO BE ON THE "CALL LIST". IN FACT I BROKE DOWN (DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE) IN ANOTHER STATE, PAID FOR A RENTAL THE ENTIRE WEEK IT TOOK TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION (BEFORE THE RECALL) AND GET HOME TO WORK. I ENDED UP LAYING OUT OVER $800 FOR THE RENTAL WHILE THEY REPAIRED THEIR ERROR. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND KEPT REVVING UP THE ENGINE AND THE CLUTCH DID NOT ENGAGE OR IT SLIPPED. RACING THE ENGINE AND NOT PROPELLING THE CAR WHEN THE GAS WAS STEPPED ON.THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECALL AND PAY FOR THE RENTAL. ANYWAY I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF GETTING NO REPAIR FROM LOCAL COMPANIES (THE COMPANY CALLED FOR ANOTHER LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THE PART AND NEVER FOUND ONE). *TR
