TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND FAILED TO RESTART. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR FAILED TO SHIFT FROM THE DRIVE TO THE PARK WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION FAILED TO BE REMOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE FLOWERY BRANCH AUTO CARE DEALER LOCATED AT 3507 ATLANTA HWY, FLOWERY BRANCH, GA 30542; WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE GEAR AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COULD NOT CHANGE THE GEAR, THE CONTACT TRIED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. THE CONTACT WAITED 25 MINUTES AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS...

THE BATTERY HAS TO BE REPLACED EVERY YEAR. THE BRAKES ARE HARD AND HAS A VACUUM LEAK NOISE . THE RADIO, CD, BLUETOOTH DOES NOT WORK. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK ALL THE TIME AND WHEN IT DOES IT WILL STICK ON. THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT WORK ALL THE TIME. THE FRONT 12V DC DOES NOT WORK. DODGE WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS GONE, BUT THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2012. IS THERE SOME WAY I CAN GET DODGE TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY. THERE IS A LOT OF DODGE DART OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AND DODGE WON'T RECALL OR FIX THE PROBLEMS.

THIS CAR HAS GONE THROUGH CYLINDERS, SPARK PLUGS, 3 BATTERIES INCLUDING THE FACTORY ONE, THROTTLE CONTROL COMPUTER ALL IN LESS THAN 50K MILES. NEVER GETS MORE THAN 10K MILES BEFORE THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE, QUITE POSSIBLE THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED AND THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND AFTER READING FORUM AFTER FORUM OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUES EXPERIENCED BY HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS AND DEALER RESPONSES THAT THERE WAS GOOD REASON TO DISCONTINUE THE PRODUCTION OF THIS MODEL AND THE MODEL YEARS THEREAFTER. UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE ALL STUCK WITH PAYMENTS ON CARS THAT PUT US AT SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK BECAUSE OF FREQUENT AND RANDOM STALL OUTS, INCLUDING ONE THAT HAPPENED TO MYSELF AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AND ANOTHER ON A DARK DESOLATE COUNTRY ROAD, AND FCA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT OTHER THAN OFFER A 5% DISCOUNT ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, FOR WHICH COMPARABLE...

HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY TWICE IN FOUR YEARS AND NOW NONE OF THE ELECTRONICS ARE WORKING IN THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR. IT WAS BOUGHT BRAND WITH NO OTHER OWNER! THIS IS VERY COSTLY AND UNFAIR TO BE A NEW VEHICLE.

THE CAR IS TURNED OFF A TICKING SOUND CONTINUES GO OFF WITH THE BACK LIGHTS FLASHING NO KEYS IN CAR FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED TO VERY A SAFE TOW AND MY CAR SITS THERE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WON'T START WINDOWS DOWN AND IT'S A HAZARD TO TOW

TAKATA RECALL: THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR INCLUDING LOSS OF POWER, RAPID SHIFTING, TRANSMISSION FAILURE, STALLING, AND OVERHEATING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT HAVE COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES, THE TCS AND PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AND OFF AT THE SAME TIME. THIS CAR HAS HAD 2 PCM'S REPLACED, 4 TCM'S REPLACED, 2 TRANSMISSIONS (THE LAST ONE REPLACED LESS THAN ONE WEEK AGO), 2 SETS OF SPARK PLUGS AND COILS REPLACED, TIMING BELT, SERPENTINE, AND WATER PUMP REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION, SERPENTINE, TIMING BELT, AND WATER PUMP WERE ALL REPLACED ON 7/21/17 AND NOW THE CAR IS PRESENTING WITH THE SAME ISSUES. THESE PROBLEMS STARTED WITH THE FIRST OWNER (AND WERE NOT REPORTED TO ME) ON 8/6/13 AND STARTED WITH ME ON 4/16/15. AS OF 8/2/17 I HAVE THE SAME WHINING NOISE IN THE CAR (WHICH HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS THE TRANSMISSION MULTIPLE TIMES NOW),...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BATTERY WARNING AND SERVICE ABS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, AND THE STEERING SEIZED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED SPUTTERING AND SEVERAL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS BECAME INOPERABLE, INCLUDING THE STEERING, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND RADIO. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

INTERMITTENT BATTERY LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF. I AM ON BATTERY NUMBER THREE AND MY SECOND ALTERNATOR AND NOBODY CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. AS I WAS DRIVING, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, THEN THE SERVICE ABS, THEN THE AC WENT OFF, AND THEN THE SERVICE POWER STEERING CAME ON. THIS CAUSED ME TO LOSE MY POWER STEERING WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTICS, ALL STATING THAT THE BATTERY WAS TESTING FINE, ALONG WITH THE ALTERNATOR AND STARTER. AFTER INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR, BATTERY LIGHT STILL INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE ALTERNATOR IS READING AROUND 6V AND WHEN IT IS OFF, IT IS READING BETWEEN 13-14V. WHENEVER THE LIGHT COMES ON, THERE IS THE SOUND OF A RELAY OR SOMETHING HAPPENING. NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO. THE VEHICLE IS 4 YEARS OLD AND I AM SCARED...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HALL CHRYSLER LOCATED ON VIRGINIA BEACH BLVD IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED FUNCTIONING, AND THE ABS AND POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

"ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE TO PREVENT ROLLING" ALERT COMES ON AFTER ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE ALERT SUBSEQUENTLY COMES ON EVERY TIME THE CAR STOPS AFTER THIS INITIAL PHASE. ON OCCASIONAL, WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP AND IS PUT INTO "PARK" AND THE ALERT COMES ON, IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE THE CAR MUST BE TURNED OFF AND ALLOWED TO SIT FOR AT LEAST 10-15 SECONDS, RESTARTED, AND WILL THEN ALLOW YOU TO SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR. THE ALERT WILL THEN AGAIN COME ON WHENEVER THE CAR IS BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP.

WHILE DRIVING, EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH LOW POWER DURING ACCELERATION, BACK FIRING, MISFIRING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT & TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON, STAYS ON. CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AFTER A FEW DAYS, CORRECTS ITSELF AND IS OK FOR A DAY OR SO BUT CONTINUES AGAIN. VERY CONCERNING IN TRAFFIC. CLUTCH WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND SO FAR NOT REOCCURRING (RECALL). ELECTRICAL ISSUE, POSSIBLE SOMETHING STAYING OPEN, DRAINING BATTERY. AFTER SITTING ALL DAY, CAR WOULD NOT UNLOCK, HAD TO ENTER CAR WITH ACTUAL MANUAL UNLOCK. UPON OPENING, THE DASH LIGHTS WERE ALL FLASHING, THE DISPLAY SCREEN WAS FLASHING UNREADABLE IMAGES. ALL INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON, STAYED ON. WHEN DOOR SHUT, PANEL LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE FUEL AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGES STARTING JUMPING, OPENED THE DOOR, GAUGES STOPPED AND LIGHTS CAME ON. WIPER BLADES ACTIVATED ON THEIR OWN, VERY SLOWLY. COULD NOT UNLOCK...

THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THEN I HAVE HAD TWO BRAND NEW STARTERS PUT INTO MY CAR AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND BOTH TIMES THE STARTERS WERE BURNED TO A CRISP IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS. NOW I'M HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON

A FEW THINGS HAS BEEN OCCURRING REGARDING MY CAR. THE FIRST THING IS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES AND WHEN I GOT IT CHECKED, THE CAR WOULDN'T START RIGHT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED, HOWEVER, THEY REPORTED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE SECOND THING AND MOST SCARIEST IS MY BRAKES. MY BRAKES ARE TOTALLY MESSED UP AS THEY CONSTANTLY LOCK AND IT'S HARD TO PRESS ON THE BREAKS. THEREFORE I DO NOT DRIVE LONG DISTANCES BECAUSE I AM AFRAID I WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO GET DIAGNOSED AND THEY TOLD ME THE MY BRAKES AND ROTARS ARE SEVERELY DAMAGED AND INFACT IT WON'T PASS THE SAFETY CHECK IN THE STATE OF NY.

CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING - BATTERY LIGHT FLASHES AND I AM UNABLE TO ACCEL. NO POWER WHAT-SO-EVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES TWICE AT 45 MPH AND TWICE AT 70 MPH. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. * CAR STEREO/SCREEN POWERS DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND RESETS * ALL LIGHTS IN CAR GO OUT FOR A SHORT TIME AND COME BACK ON * RUSHING WATER SOUND WHILE ACCEL. * CAR GETS UP TO 4,000RPM'S TO GO FROM ZERO TO 30MPH * ISSUE WITH BREAK DELAYS * KNOCKING SOUND FROM FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START AND THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE AND ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ENGINE START NOISE AND THEN ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY AND THE TRANSMISSION CABLE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT ONCE THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE, THEY WOULD DETERMINE IF THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

THERE ARE TWO ISSUES THAT I HAVE RETURNED MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS MULTIPLE TIMES AND PAID SIGNIFICANTLY FOR THE NON-REPAIR. THE FIRST IS THE CENTERSTACK DISPLAY. THE DISPLAY WILL INTERMITTENTLY GO BLANK TYPICALLY FOLLOWING A LEFT HAND TURN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TWICE FOR THIS CONDITION AND STILL DISPLAYS THE FAILURE. THE SECOND IS THE TRANSMISSION. BASED ON A FCA RECALL, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A TRANSMISSION REFLASH! AT THAT POINT THERE HAD NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING. SINCE THAT EVENT HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER PERFORMED AS EXPECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO LEARN THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION MODULE SO THAT WAS REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PROBLEM IS NOW WORSE. THE VEHICLE SHIFTS SO ROUGH, THAT IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE COULD STOP AT ANYTIME. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE I...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED AND BLACKED OUT. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE PANEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000.

MY CAR HAS STALLED WHILE I AM DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADS. AFTER TAKING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED 4 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY HIGH SCHOOL PARKING LOT GOING ABOUT 10-15 MPH. THE SECOND TIME WAS PULLING OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP SERVICING DEPARTMENT GOING ABOUT 35 MPH. THE THIRD TIME WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHILE GOING ABOUT 5 MPH. THE LAST TIME WAS ON A STRAIGHT AWAY GOING ABOUT 45 MPH THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I HAD TO FORCIBLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR HAS ALSO BEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES DUE TO ISSUES WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS, THE CENTRAL COMPUTER, AND THE DISPLAY SCREEN. OVERALL, THE CAR HAS OVER 30 PAGES OF SERVICE DONE ON IT, RANGING FORM 2,600...

DASH PANEL AND RADIO LIGHTS FLICKER INTERMITTENTLY. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED AND PROBLEM CONTINUES. PROBLEM HAS EVOLVED TO HALF DASH LIGHTS NOT WORKING. OBVIOUSLY THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN ON GOING.

JANUARY 15, 2017 I PARKED MY DODGE DART IN THE PARKING LOT. UPON MY DEPARTURE I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION AND DRIVE AROUND THE BEND TO PICK UP PASSENGERS. ONCE I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP MY ENGINE SHUT OFF, ALL SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON (MIRROR WARNING LIGHTS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, DASHBOARD SHIFT INDICATOR STUCK ON "DRIVE" RATHER THAN "PARKED") AND NO POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN 'PARK' BUT CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I WAS IN A FULL PARKING LOT AT THE BEACH ON A HOLIDAY. MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHERE LINED UP BEHIND MY CAR TO PARK/ PICK UP THEIR PASSENGERS. HAD I NOT HAVE TO PICK UP PASSENGERS I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP ON A HILL (THE FIRST TURN OUT OF THE PARKING LOT IS A FAIRLY STEEP INCLINE) MOST LIKELY CAUSING A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS THE POWER TRAIN/ SHIFTER CABLES. I HAVE...

THE CARS AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IT COMES ON AND OFF WITH BUMPS IN THE ROAD. NOW THE CARS SEATBELT AUDIO GOES OFF EVEN THOUGH THE SEAT BELTS ON. THIS HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES AND STILL NOT FIXED.

HAVE A 2013 DART SXT 1.4T MANUAL. I'M GOING ON 2 YEARS WITH THE CAR, BOUGHT IT WITH JUST UNDER 20K. SINCE BUYING IT, I'VE HAD SPOUTS OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR UNDERBOOST OCCASIONALLY COME ON AND GO BACK OFF SOON AFTER, NEVER MUCH OF A BOTHER SINCE IT NEVER LASTED LONG ENOUGH TO GET THE DEALERSHIP TO CATCH IT WHILE THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. YESTERDAY, 1/10/17, MY CAR WAS DRIVING NORMALLY UNTIL I TRIED TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, AT ABOUT 40 MPH THE ENGINE STARTED STUTTERING PRETTY BAD, BUT I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT BECAUSE NO LIGHTS WERE COMING ON THE DASH. UNTIL I HIT 50. SUDDENLY THE CE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, THE CAR WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 50 MPH AND THE RPMS WOULDN'T EVEN HIT 4000. PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, THE CE LIGHT WAS BACK OFF. REVVED THE ENGINE FOR A...

THIS CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM), AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM). THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND DODGE IS STILL TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. BEFORE REPLACING THE BODY CONTROL MODULE THE CAR WASN'T STARTING SO THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, IT TURNS OUT THE BCM WAS STAYING ON AND DRAWING POWER FORM THE BATTERY WHILE THE CAR WAS OFF. WE WERE CONSTANTLY HAVING TO JUMP THE CAR TO GET IT STARTED. AFTER THAT THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING FUNNY IT WOULD SHIFT HARD, SHIFT INTO LOW GEARS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. ALSO WHEN FIRST STARTED OR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC INTERSECTIONS THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT INTO 4TH GEAR ON ITS OWN UNLESS IN SPORT MODE AND DONE MANUALLY. THIS MAKES IT ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY WHICH IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING OUT INTO AN...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO PROPERLY FUNCTION AND VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS AND GAUGES, INCLUDING THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR, RANDOMLY FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN) SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WOULD SUPPLY THE PART. THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SUPPLY THE PARTS TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

BLUETOOTH DON'T WORK. $600 TO FIX AT 45,000 MILES. NOW MY PRDN LIGHTS UP ALL RED. WILL CLEAR ONLY WHEN I TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON. TOOK CAR TO AUTO ZONE AND ITS NOT GIVING ANY CODES

I HAD MY CAR FOR 5 MONTHS BEFORE HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. EVERY LIGHT IN THE DASH CAME ON MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN ON IT'S OWN UNTIL IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. EVERY GEAR ON THE SHIFTER TURNED RED AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK LEAVING ME WITH NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT TURN THE CAR OFF. AFTER TURNING IT OFF I TRIED TO TURN THE KEY OVER TO RESTART BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T COME ON AT ALL. AFTER THAT I HAD MY CAR TIRED TO ONE DODGE DEALERSHIP, WHICH IT STAYED FOR 2 WEEKS UNTIL THEY DECIDED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SO THEY HAD ME YOU'RE IT TO ANOTHER DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT STAYED 2 MONTHS. AFTER REPLACING THE HARNESS TWICE, THE ABS MODULE TWICE AND THE SHIFTER CABLE THEY TOLD ME IT WAS READY. I PICKED UP MY CAR THURSDAY AND GUESS WHAT TWO...

TOOK IN 4 RECALL BRAKE BOOSTER ENDED UP WITH HAVING TO REPLACE ENTIRE CLUTCH ASSEMBY TO THE TUNE OF $2300. HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 48 HOURS AND IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN COULD NOT CRANK OR PUT HAZZARD LIGHTS ON AND WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP.

I HAVE REPLACED THE HI/LO BEAM HEADLAMPS MULTIPLE TIMES, WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE IT THIS TIME, THE RECEIVER PLUG HOUSING ON THE WIRE HARNESS IS MELTED TO THE POINT THAT IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED, UNABLE TO ATTACH THE NEW BULB AND THE OLD BULB WAS NEARLY FUSED DUE TO THE HEAT WHEN IT MELTED, LUCKILY IT DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR SWITCH FRACTURED ON THE VEHICLE. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AT TIMES THE CAR WILL NOT START BACK UP UNTIL YOU WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND EVERYTHING HAS TO BE OFF FOR IT TO DO SO. NEWEST PROBLEM IS IT SUDDENLY SLAMS ON BRAKES WHILE ALREADY STOPPED, THE CONTROL PANEL'S LIGHTS COME ON, IT WON'T GO INTO SECOND GEAR SOMETIMES PROBLEMS WITH THIRD GEAR. IN ORDER TO FIX THIS YOU HAVE TO KEEP TURNING THE CAR OFF AND WAITING ABOUT 7 MINUTES FOR THE COMPUTER TO RESET ITSELF THEN IT'S GOOD UNTIL MAYBE NEXT DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

MY KEY FOB GETS STUCK INSIDE THE IGNITION. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO DODGE IN JULY. THEY CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG. WHEN I TOLD THEM I HAD TO KEEP TURNING MY WHEEL TO GET MY KEY TO RELEASE AND MY DAD CAME UP THERE AND LET THEM KNOW HE SAW IT WITH HIS OWN EYES AND WASN'T GOING TO ACCEPT THAT, THEY REEXAMINED THE CAR AND SAID THEY FOUND A BUR IN THE IGNITION BLOCKING THE KEY FROM RELEASING THE KEY. THEY KEPT MY CAR 5 DAYS TO ORDER A NEW IGNITION CYLINDER, SO THEY CLAIM WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE. LESS THAN A MONTH, I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I PHONED THE SERVICE MANAGER, HE TOLD ME TO PUT SHIFT THE CAR GEARS AND IT SHOULD RELEASE THE KEY. IT DID ON 8/13/16. HE SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ELECTRICAL ISN'T RECOGNIZING THE CAR IS IN PARK. BUT...

THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON ANYTIME THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE AROUND 85 DEGREES. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED 2-3 TIMES SINCE 2013. INTERIOR LIGHTS SOMETIMES FLICKER. THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF RANDOMLY AND NOW IT CAN'T "FIND" THE MAPS. THEY ARE JUST GONE SOMEHOW. THE SD CARD SLOT WORKS SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHERS, SAME WITH THE BACKUP CAMERA. DODGE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY UNABLE TO FIX THESE.

I HAVE HAD MY 2013 DODGE DART ONLY 2 YEARS AND AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THE PURCHASE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES. JUST YESTERDAY I HAD TO PUT IT IN THE THE SHOP TO HAVE THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM THAT I NEEDED TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE NAVIGATION SERVICE. ARE THEY KIDDING ME, I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY UNIT, DUE TO THE FACT IT GOES COMPLETELY OUT WITH A WHITE SCREEN AND IT JUST DOES NOT WORK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY, THE ENGINE IS RUNNING ROUGH. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AT MY COST OF $150.00 NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT ONE. THE SPEEDOMETER IS INCORRECT, THE INTERIOR LIGHT RATTLES AND DRIVES ME CRAZY ON LONG TRIPS. I HAVE HAD TO TAKEN IT IN FOR SEVERAL FRONT...

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ESSENTIAL SENSORS WERE MISFIRING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,000.

MY RADIO WITH THE TOUCHSCREEN HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES I BELIEVE DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE-CONTINUED TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. THE VISOR FELL OFF, NOW THERE ARE NO INTERIOR LIGHTS. BRAKE RECALL REPAIR DONE, BUT NOW ENGINE LIGHT ON, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE IN REVERSE, ALL SYSTEM LIGHTS CAME ON LOOKING LIKE FAILURE. CAR WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, BUT WHEN PUTTING FOOT ON GAS IT WOULD HAVE NO EFFECT. NOW THE CAR DOES NOT START OR EVEN TURN OVER INCLUDING WHEN JUMP STARTED. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THE RADIO REPAIR AND BRAKE RECALL AND HAVE VIDEOS ON MY PHONE OF THE ACCELERATION WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE.

THE CAR WON'T START. BATTERY IS COMPLETLY DEAD. WON'T EVEN CHARGE. (THAT'S NOT THE BIG DEAL) THE BIG DEAL IS WHEN I TRY TO REVERSE IT'S LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO GET IN GEAR. THEN WHOLE CAR SHAKES, AND THEN IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION STOPS AND IS ABOUT TO DROP. GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ALL TURN RED. HAVE TO START CAR AND TURN BACK ON TO GET IT TO GO TO NORMAL. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TOO. THEN EVENTUALLY TURNS OFF.

GAUGES WILL FREEZE WHILE DRIVING, BUT RESET AFTER 20 MINUTES. HAS HAPPENED ON 4 SEPARATE OCCURENCES. WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN EXPRESSWAY AT 50MPH IN THE CITY, THE CAR LOST BOOST(PRESSURE FROM THE TURBO) CAUSING IT TO LOSE POWER DRAMATICALLY REDUCING SAFETY AND FUEL ECONOMY. THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO MERT SPEED LIMIT AND SLOWING DOWN TRAFFIC BEHIND AND THE ABILITY TO GET UP A HILL IN MY AREA. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE BEING AFFECTED BY THE P0299 LOW PRESSURE CODE.
