NHTSA Complaint #11053819 — 2014 DODGE DART

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLASH WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY THE GEAR SELECTIONS LIGHTS ALL GLOW RED. STABILITY INDICATOR SIGNALS LOSS AS WELL AS EXTREMELY ROUGH SHIFTING. LOSS OF REVERSE CAMERA, MOON ROOF, LOSS OF AUTO WINDOWS BOTH UP AND DOWN, AS WELL AS PRACTICALLY ALL FORWARD MOTION AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. ONCE STOPPED SAFELY AND VEHICLE HAS BEEN DISABLED I.T WILL NOT START WITHOUT A SERIES OF STEPS PRIOR TO IGNITION. 1. PRESS ACCESSORY BUTTON. 2. PLACE IN NUETRAL. 3. RETURN TO PARK. 4. OPEN AND CLOSE DRIVER DOOR. 5. APPLY FOOT TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. 6. PRESS IGNITION SWITCH TO START THE VEHICLE. THESE STEPS ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO BECOME OPERATIONAL; HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON FOR VARIOUS LENGTHS OF TIME. THE TRANSMISSION NOW SHIFTS LESS ROUGH THAN DURING THE INITIAL MALFUNCTION. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS MALFUNCTION BOTH WHILE STARTING MY CAR AND DURING OPERATION ON THE OPEN ROAD. AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE BECOMES CLEARLY UNSAFE TO OPERATE, DUE TO LOSS OF MOTION. I PERSONALLY DO NOT FEEL SAFE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE ALONE AND ESPECIALLY WITH MY FAMILY ABOARD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE HOURS ON END AND FOUND MASSES FALLING TO THE SAME VEHICLE MALFUNCTION. AS OF YET MY SPECIFIC VIN# HAS YET TO BE RECALLED REGARDLESS OF THE NATURE OF THE MALFUNCTIONS. I CHARGE YOU NHTSA TO PRESS UPON CHRYSLER FOR SAFETY OF NOT ONLY MY FAMILY BUT ALL THE OTHERS OUT IN THE WORLD AT RISK DUE TO FAULTY ENGINEERING AND EQUIPMENT.
