NHTSA Complaint #11024686 — 2012 DODGE DART

BEFORE MOVING FROM NEW MEXICO TO MINNESOTA WE HAD OUR 2013 DODGE DART'S OIL CHANGE AND CAR CHECKED OVER BY A DODGE AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING ON SD HWY 212 UP A HILL SHIFTING DOWN TO 5TH THE CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. SO I FORCED IT INTO 5TH BEFORE IT ROLLED DOWN A SHARP HILL. (PLEASE NOTE DODGE SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS). DODGE CLAIM THAT CLUTCHES JUST GO OUT LIKE THIS WITH OUT ANY WARNING AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I HAVE OWNED MANY MANUAL CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY CLUTCHES WEAR OUT. MY CAR ONLY HAD $40,000 MILES. I LEFT THE CAR BEHIND IN NORTH DAKOTA BECAUSE WE WERE MOVING TO MINNESOTA. THEY INFORMED US IT WOULD BE OVER A WEEK TO FIX. I WILL HAVE TO DRIVE BACK OVER 6HOURS (12 HOURS TOTAL TRIP) AND PAY FOR A NEW CLUTCH THAT IS PROBABLY JUST AS BAD. I THINK THAT THE CLUTCH GOING OUT WITH OUT WARNING IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD.
