I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. RPMS STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN,LIKE I WAS REVVING THE ENGINE,BUT WAS NOT PUSHING IN GAS PEDAL. PUT CLUTCH IN TO GET OFF AN EXIT, AND THE CLUTCH STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. LEFT ON VERY BUSY HIGHWAY WITH A CHILD!

I PURCHASED MY DODGE DART AT 21,000 MILES. 30,000 MILES CAR SHUTS OFF ON HIGHWAY. TOTAL POWER LOSS. DODGE WAS ABLE TO LIMIT THE PROBLEM HOWEVER RAN ROUGH AND AT ABOUT 45000 MILES CAR SHIFTED HARD NOW AT 70000 DODGE TELLS ME IT'S THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. 3,000 DOLLAR REPAIR. AT THIS POINT CAR IS NOT WORTH 3000. STILL SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE IS RECALLED FOR THE 2013 DART HOWEVER NOT MY VIN# ????? I SEE TONS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES EVEN CASES AGAINST DODGE FOR THIS MODEL. HOWEVER THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP ME OUT WITH ANY ISSUES I BRING TO THEIR ATTENTION. UNFORTUNATE. FOR ME.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A RECALL AND AS OF MAY 13TH I'M STILL WITHOUT MY VEHICLE AND STILL HAVING TO MAKE THE PAYMENT PLUS INSURANCE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN I WILL GET MY CAR BUT IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ENOUGH TIMES I FILED FOR A BREECH OF WARRANTY BUT CHRYSLER ONLY OFFERED ME 4000 TAKE AWAY THE 2000 FOR ATTORNEY FEES SO 2000 IS WHAT I WOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY WITH. I DID NOT ACCEPT THE OFFER AND NOW I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE A REMEDY FOR THE ISSUE BUT IT'S HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE DAY 1 HAD NEW ENGINE NEW TURBO NEW STARTER NEW GASKETS NEW RADIATOR AND MUCH MORE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN BECAUSE OF NEGLECT. I TRULY FEEL I HAVE A LEMON ON MY HANDS AND NEED HELP GETTING INTO A SAFE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T...

MY CAR RANDOMLY WILL NOT START THINKING THAT IT IS NOT IN PARK. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE DIAGNOSTIC ELECTRONICS TO GO HAYWIRE. I'M TOLD THERE IS A BUSHING THAT WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT DODGE REFUSES TO PROVIDE THIS PART TO MY LOCAL DEALER. THE BUSHING IS DESIGNED TO CAUSE THE CAR TO KNOW IT IS IN PARK SO IT WILL START. I'M ALSO TOLD THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE, BUT I RECEIVED NO RECALL NOTICE FROM DODGE.

THERE'S AN ACTIVE RECALL ON MY 2013 DODGE DART AERO FOR THE SHIFTING CABLE BUSHING. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, MY CAR WASN'T REGISTERING IT WAS IN PARK SO I COULDN'T TURN IT OFF. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP ON MAIN STREET IN NORRISTOWN, PA. MOPAR SAID THE PART WON'T BE SHIPPED TO DEALERS FOR THE RECALL UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST SO THEY WANT TO PUT ANOTHER FAULTY PART IN. THEY ARE TELLING ME I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AND MOPAR SAYS THEY ARE NOT DOING AT REPAYMENTS. THEY HAVE ALSO REFUSED TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR IN THE MEAN TIME. I DON'T FEEL AS A CONSUMER THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OR A RENTAL BECAUSE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BY THE DRIVER AND ANOTHER PERSON. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO ATHENS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 4145 ATLANTA HWY, ATHENS, GA 30606, (706) 549-7555) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

MY SHIFT GEAR IS NOT MOVING AT ALL AND IT CAUSES ME NOT TO TURN MY CAR OFF OR ON. MY KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION ALSO.

DODGE DARTS OF THIS MODEL YEAR INCLUDING MINE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TURBOCHARGER. PROBLEMS WITHIN THE SETUP CREATE A "TURBO UNDERBOOST" CONDITION, WHICH PROMPTS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND THROWS THE CAR INTO LIMP MODE. THIS IS OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY A LACK OF POWER FROM THE ENGINE AND A ROUGH IDLE, OR STALLING AT IDLE. IN MY CASE IT HAPPENED WHILE I LEAVING A CITY, AND I DID NOT HAVE THE POWER TO ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER PULLING OVER AND RE-STARTING THE CAR, THIS ISSUE IS TEMPORARILY RESOLVED. THIS IS SUCH AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR THAT THERE IS A NORTH AMERICA WIDE BACK-ORDER ON THE NEW-TURBO WITH THIS ISSUE CORRECTED. FOR MANY LIKE ME, THIS EXPENSE IS OUT-POCKET OR FOR A LUCKY FEW, STILL COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE WARRANTS A RECALL AND PROPER FIX IF THE...

AGAIN HERE I AM WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND MY CAR IS BUCKING AND UNSAFE!!! I WILL BRING IT IN TOMORROW BUT I BOUGHT A TOOL THAT READS CODES HERE ARE THE CODES P0352 ERROR IGNITION COIL B PRIMARY/ SECONDARY CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. AND CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. YOU JUST PICKED UP THE CAR FOR SAME THING ON JUNE 10!!!!! LESS THAN 10 DAYS AND IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN. DO YOU WANT ME TO GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT. BECAUSE I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE MY CAR. THIS IS ABOUT 6TH TIME IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS FOR SAME ISSUES.

THIS CAR SHOULD BE A TOTAL RECALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WOULD SOMETIMES DECELERATE. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER A WHILE AND "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT CALLED MARINO PARK DODGE CHRYSLER (5133 W IRVING PARK RD, CHICAGO, IL 60641, (773) 777-2000) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT NEW SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A REMEDY. THE CONTACT WAS PLACED ON AN EMAIL LIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

SINCE MARCH 2019 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ONE 3 TIMES. MY CAR HAS EITHER STALLED IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION AND/OR HAS A BUCKING SENSATION AND THEN CHECK ENGINE TURNS ON. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT IT KEEPS OCCURRING. ONE TIME THEY REPLACED BATTERY, NEXT TIME RECALL V34 AND AGAIN TODAY. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THIS MODEL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE.THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING.

RECALL THAT HASN'T BEEN FIXED, ALMOST 2 MONTHS NOW. MY CAR ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE. APR 11,2019 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBERV34 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER19V-293 RECALL STATUSRECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE SUMMARY

RECALL ON A TRANSMISSION RELATED SAFETY ISSUE , THIS A A BAD PROBLEM BUT STILL DODGE DON;T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM , HOW COULD THAT BE ?? I AM STILL WAITING TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED BUT IN THE MEANTIME I AM STILL DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE .

THERE IS HEAT THAT CONSISTENTLY EMANATES INTO THE CAR FROM THE AREA WHERE THE WIRING HARNESS OR FUSE BOX WOULD BE. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND MECHANICS CONTINUE TO SAY THAT THE FUSE BOX IS FINE BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE HARNESS. THE PROBLEMS IS SO BAD THAT THE HEAT OVER TIME HAS LED TO BAD PAINT DAMAGE TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE PAINT IS COMPLETELY DULL. THE DISCOLORATION IS BEYOND OBVIOUS AND NOTICEABLE. THE HEAT BEGINS TO BE A PROBLEM ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING IT ON.

THE PARKING BRAKE HAS FAILED ON TWO OCCASIONS, ONCE WHILE STATIONARY WHEN IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT CRASHED INTO A CAR IN THEIR PARKING LOT IN 2016. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP IN 2015-2016 THIRTEEN TIMES FOR OIL LEAKS AND THE ENGINE EITHER DYING OR ALMOST SEIZING WHILE IN MOTION. THIS RESULTED IN MY VEHICLE STARTING ON FIRE IN LATE 2016 EARLY 2017. THE REPAIR FOR THE FIRE DAMAGE WAS COVERED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY FIXED BY A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AFTER THAT. MORE RECENTLY, IT WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ROLLED INTO MY TRUCK AND DAMAGED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE'S BUMPER WHILE STATIONARY WITH THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. THE SYMPTOMS WITH THE ENGINE HAVE ALSO STARTED TO REAPPEAR WHILE IN MOTION IN 3RD OR 4TH GEAR... IT STARTS...

OUR VEHICLE KEEPS SHUTTING OFF ON HIGHWAYS, ROADS, ETC. WE ALWAYS HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WHEN WE CAN FINALLY START IT AGAIN THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THEN WANTS TO SHUT DOWN AND THE SCREEN STAYS BLACK FOR A LONG TIME.

THE CLUTCH GETS STUCK ON THE FLOOR AND I'M UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I'VE BEEN STUCK IN MY DRIVE WAY BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THE GEAR INTO THE REVERSE POSITION. SAME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC WHERE I'M STUCK BECAUSE I CAN GET THE GEAR INTO FIRST TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD. ONCE I DO GET THE GEAR TO GO THE CAR SHOOTS FORWARD DANGEROUSLY. THERE IS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE UP A HILL THE CAR CAN BARELY MOVE AND THE RPMS GO HIGHER YET THERE'S NO POWER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE MAKING A TURN AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES AND WAS HOSPITALIZED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

AFTER FUELING THE CAR UP, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THIS WASN'T THE 1ST TIME.

TAKATA RECALL TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND BLIND SPOT DETECTOR ISSUES WHILE IN MOTION MY RIGHT BLIND SPOT DETECTOR WILL TURN EVEN IF NOBODY IS IN THE PROPER PARAMETERS OF THE VEHICLE

IT APPEARS THERE IS AN ALARMING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN I START THE CAR AT DEGREES LOWER THAN 40. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE BUT WHEN IT OCCURS I LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD RESULTING IN MY RPM'S TO JUMP HIGHER THAN NORMAL ACCOMPANIED BY VIBRATION AND RATALING COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OR TIRE (ITS HARD TO TELL) . FROM MY RESEARCH, THE COLD START ISSUE WAS A RECALL FOR 2013 DODGE DART BUT IT IS NOT SHOWING FOR MY VIN. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME REGUARDING THIS COMPLAINT??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE HAD BEEN MULTIPLE FAILURES PERTAINING TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TURBOS. ALSO, THE VEHICLE MISFIRED AND FAILED TO START SEVERAL TIMES. WHILE ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE REVERSED WHEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THE DEALER (BAXTER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OMAHA (17950 BURT ST, OMAHA, NE 68118, (402) 800-1230) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED A THIRD TIME BECAUSE A PORCELAIN PIECE SURROUNDING THE CENTER ELECTRODE FRACTURED AND A PLUG CAME OUT OF A PISTON TOP ASSOCIATED WITH THE CYLINDER WALLS, WHICH DAMAGED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THE TURBO, AND THE LONG BLOCK. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PARTS. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE OEM PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED CAUSED THE FAILURES BECAUSE, AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND DID...

I HAVE HAD 5 DIFFERENT PLACES CHANGE MY OIL AND AT EVERY ONE THE FILTER HAS EITHER COME OFF IN MY HAND OR CREATE A GAP IN THE FILTER SEAL WHICH IS CAUSED OIL TO START SPRAYING ALL OVER THE CAR AND LEAKING ALL OVER THE GROUND. ALL FIVE TIMES THIS IS HAPPENED THE FILTER IS EITHER GOING OFF IN MY HAND OR HAD THE SEAL OF THE FILTER START LEAKING OIL. SPRAYING OIL ALL OVER IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND CAUSING ME TO LOSE ALL OF MY OIL ON THE GROUND AND ALL OVER THE ENGINE UNKNOWN IF THIS IS CAUSED ANY OTHER PROBLEMS INSIDE THE ENGINE YET EVERY TIME THIS IS HAPPENED I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET ON THE FREEWAY I WAS ABLE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND HAVE IT TAKEN CARE OF WITH MINIMAL DRIVING WITHOUT OIL . THIS IS HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES NOW AT...

I GET A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY SMELLS ALMOST LIKE OIL OR WIRE SMELL. MY SPEED CONTROL IS NON FUNCTIONING AND MY EBRAKE IS ALSO [XXX] NEAR INOPERABLE. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A TOTAL LEMON LAW FOR 2013 DODGE DARTS THEY ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE FOR THE OWNER AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD .

HAD ISSUE WITH 2013 DODGE DART CRANKING . IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD CRANK UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND SHUT DOWN. THE CONTACT OPENED AND CLOSED THE HOOD, AND THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT CALLED LANDMARK DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM AT 770 968-4900 (LOCATED AT 6850 MT ZION BLVD, MORROW, GA 30260) AND WAS ADVISED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

IN THE LAST 4 WEEKS, WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR HAS DISPLAYED A "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" ERROR AND "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE ERROR." THE FIRST TIME WAS ON I-10 AND IT OCCURRED AND I HAD TO PULL ON THE SIDE OR THE INTERSTATE. MY CARD WAS IN D, BUT IT WOULD NOT DRIVE OR REVERSE. I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT CRANK SAME SERVICE MESSAGES ABOVE POPPED UP. AFTER SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE FOR 20 MINS, I TURNED IT BACK OK AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GO ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK TO MY HOTEL ROOM. THE MESSAGE DISAPPEAR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF, SO THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. YESTERDAY, ON JULY 8, 2018, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 75, GOING ABOUT...

BEFORE STARTING VEHICLE, CLUTCH PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO FLOOR AND HAS TO BE PULLED BACK UP INTO POSITION. PROBLEM OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. AFTER CLUTCH IS PUMPED A FEW TIMES, IT REGAINS PRESSURE AND IS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 35,000 MILES BUT IS OVER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY. EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL COVER IT WITH A $100 DEDUCTIBLE. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PAY FOR A CLUTCH REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY/ KNOWN ISSUE ON THE MASTER CYLINDER AND HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKING THROUGHOUT CLUTCH COMPONENTS. ALSO HAD THE TURBO AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED AT 20,000 MILES AFTER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND VEHICLE LOST POWER.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK@ 0730 HRS, TRAVELING ON I 294 N/B, AT A SPEED OF APPROX 45/50 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. AS I ATTEMPTED TO REDUCE MY SPEED, TO MOVE OUT OF THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. I PULLED THE HAND BREAK UP, WHICH DID NOT RESPOND, I PUSHED IT DOWN AND PULLED IT UP A SECOND TIME, WHICH BARELY SLOWED MY VEHICLE, BUT DID ALLOW ME TO COAST TO A SLOW STOP ON THE SHOULDER. AT THIS TIME, THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND A MAN WHO HAD BEEN TRAVELING BEHIND ME, PULLED OVER TO SAY THAT HE HAD SEEN FLAMES COMING FROM MY TAIL PIPE, BEFORE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BURST INTO FLAME. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911. I WAITED IN THE RAIN FOR ILLINOIS STATE POLICE AND THE...

THE 2013 DODGE DART WITH THE 1.4L TURBO ENGINE WAS A VEHICLE MADE THAT WAS MADE IN MURPHY'S LAW (EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG, WILL GO WRONG). SINCE PURCHASING THIS USED VEHICLE IN 2016 WITH 43,000 MILES ON THE ENGINE I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WAS THE TURBO. I HAD TO HAVE THE TURBO REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY (COMMON ISSUE). THEN, MULTIPLE INSTRUMENT GAUGE FAILURES. NEXT, SEVERAL CLUTCH PROBLEMS (CLUTCH STICKING TO THE FLOOR EVEN WHEN DRIVING). THIS ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED AS THE DEALER DOES NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ISSUE. IF RESEARCHED IT WILL SHOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THOUSANDS HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THEN, NEXT SET OF ISSUES BEGAN WITH MULTIPLE CALIPER SEIZINGS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC OTHER THAN THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DETERMINED THAT THESE PARTS WERE FAULTY AND SUFFERED FROM A RECALL...

OVER THREE TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY AUTOSTICK NOT AVAILABLE AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT HAS COME ON. CAR SPUTTERS AND COMES TO A STOP. ONCE IT HAPPENED ON A 23 MILE BRIDGE WHERE I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. DEALERSHIP HAS HAD CAR OVER 5 TIMES AND THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED SAME DAY I GOT MY CAR BACK. I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY CAR BACK *TT *TR

SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE ON DASH AFTER ABOUT 50 MILES OF DRIVING NORMAL. WON'T SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR UNTIL 4200 RPM DROPS TO 1000 RPM THEN SHIFTS INTO THIRD GEAR EARLY AT 2400 RPM WHEN TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND TRY TO TURN BACK ON IT SAYS AUTOSTICK NOT AVAILABLE. CLEAR ALL CODES WORKS FINE. IT'S BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES WITH NO DIAGNOSIS. THEY HAVE DONE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE RECALL TWICE. EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED THERE HAS BEEN ABOUT A MONTH IN BETWEEN. TENDS TO HAPPEN AFTER ABOUT DRIVING 50 MILES NORMALLY.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT CAUSING ME TO SHIFT THE GEAR INTO PARK BEFORE STARTING THE VEHICLE BACK UP. BUT AS I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE IT HESITATED TO START AND I HAD TO WAIT A MOMENT MAYBE THREE TO SEVEN MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN ONLY TO HAVE IT STALL OUT AGAIN WHILE MAKING ANOTHER RIGHT HAND TURN. I ALSO NOTICED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHING ON THE DASH AS WELL AS A BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE SWITCH TO NEUTRAL DRIVE IN REVERSE" MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE AND "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BUD CLARY AUBURN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2925 AUBURN WAY N, AUBURN, WA 98002) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION MODULE AND GEAR SHIFT MODULE WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED THE NEXT DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT IS VERY HESITANT TO GO, THEN IT WILL OVER REV AND THE RPMS WILL GO UP BUT IT WILL NOT GO ANY FASTER. IT WILL ONLY HAPPEN IT SECOND AND THIRD GEAR
