NHTSA Complaint #11427622 — 2013 DODGE DART

I bought my 2013 Dodge Dart (I bought it used and out of warranty-it is now a little over 100,000 miles). My girlfriend was driving it down a four lane highway when all of a sudden the car came to a complete stop, it wouldn’t go into drive, reverse or parks, my girlfriend had to push the car off of a four lane highway and out of the way of oncoming traffic. The accelerator would not work, and it said "service transmission". I looked it up and it's a recall issue (recall R42) for Dodge Darts made between 2013 and 2015 Darts with a 1.4l engine and a dry dial clutch transmission (I have this model). I got it to a local dealership (who said the recall was fixed in august 2016) and they've had it for almost a week and called today and said there are no issues with the transmission and that it's driving fine that the only issue they see would be the spark plugs. (Spark plugs wouldn't cause all of that). This is a safety issue that could’ve caused an accident, my family was in the car and had they crashed and my family got hurt Stellantis/Chrysler wouldn’t hold any accountability. The recall customer service center claims it is their policy that after a recall there is a two year warranty and that I had passed that two year mark, regardless of the same parts malfunctioning from the previous recall I would be responsible to pay for the transmission control module being replaced. I work at the Belvidere Assembly Plant that produced the Dodge Darts, this is how they treat their customers and employees. I’ve taken good care of all the routine maintenance, The car is under 10 years old and the recall should be taken care of.
