NHTSA Complaint #11382921 — 2014 DODGE DART

THE CLUTCH PEDAL BEGAN OCCASIONALLY STICKING, SOMETIMES ALL THE WAY IN TO THE FLOOR, OTHER TIMES HALFWAY AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SHIFT. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER. THE ISSUE QUICKLY DETERIORATED, WHERE IT WAS HAPPENING ALL OF THE TIME. NOW WHEN I START THE CAR WITH THE CLUTCH IN, THE SAFETY ALLOWS ME TO START THE CAR, BUT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO MOVE AS IF THE CLUTCH IS NOT DEPRESSED IF STARTED IN FIRST GEAR, AND THEN I CANNOT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND NEED TO EITHER BE READY TO GO OR SHUT THE ENGINE OFF SO AS NOT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE IN THE MARKETPLACE AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO HAVE THE CAR BEING TO MOVE AS SOON AS IT IS STARTED AND NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT BACK INTO NEUTRAL. I FEAR THERE WILL BE SEVERAL ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THIS FOR ANYONE NOT FULLY AWARE WHEN STARTING THEIR CAR.
