BUSHING RECALL APRIL 2019. CAR UNABLE TO DRIVE, STUCK IN GEAR AUGUST 19, 2019. NO PARTS AVAILABLE ACCORDING TO ANY DODGE DEALERS WITHIN A 50 MILE RADIUS. UNABLE TO DRIVE , THE CAR IS A LEMON NOTHING MORE THAN A YARD ORNAMENT. NEED TRANSPORTATION FOR WORK, NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN RURAL SOUTH, UNACCEPTABLE FROM MANUFACTURE. IF MANUFACTURE CAN'T FIX, THEY SHOULD PROVIDE FREE RENTALS UNTIL CAR CAN BE FIXED.

FOR OVER 2 YEARS MY DODGE DART 2014 BOUGHT BRAND NEW OFF A CAR LOT HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT WOULD SHIFT INTO 1 ST GEAR AND READLINE THE RPM TACH METER AND WOULD NOT SHIFT BACK UP TO ITS PROPER GEAR. I HAVE TO RESET THE BATTERY AFTER DISCONNECTING IT FOR 15MINS AND THEN SOMETIMES IT WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 2 YEARS. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON. DODGE IS JUST NOW DOING RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS RELATED TO THE TRASMISSION BUSHING CABLE. JUST NOW AFTER ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER 2 YEARS THEY ARE TRYING TO OFFER RECALLS. I STILL HAVE YET TO BE NOTIFIED OFFICIALLY REGARDING THIS MATTER THRU THE MAIL OR A PHONE CALL, EMAIL EVEN. I HAD TO CALL CORPORATE TO ASK. CORPORATE TOLD ME SOMETHING...

WHEN MY CAR IN THE WINTER TIME WARMS UP THE FAN DOESN'T WORK UNLESS I OPEN UP MY ENGINE HOOD AND IT COOLS DOWN NOW THIS CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM 2 MINUTES ME RUNNING MY CAR ATTENDANCE DOESN'T MATTER WHEN I TURN ON THE AIR-CONDITIONING IT SHAKES MY WHOLE CAR I AM TOLD IT IS NOTHING I DON'T BELIEVE IT MY TRANSMISSION WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS BECAUSE VERY SLOW AND JERKS A WHOLE CAR AND EMOTION I TOLD THEM ABOUT THIS SINCE I HAD THE CAR AND MY BRAKES ON THE FIRST CAR THAT I HAD MY BRAKES WENT OUT AND IT AFTER I KEPT COMPLAINING ABOUT IT FOR SIX WEEKS AND THEN THEY TRADED ME FOR THE 2014 DODGE DART MY CAR HAS 22500 MILES ON IT NONE OF THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING WHEN I TAKE IT TO MY DODGE DEALERSHIP THEY THINK THAT IT'S NOTHING IN...

IT STARTED BACK IN APRIL. MY CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE. IT STARTED FLASHING THE R ON THE DASH THEN NEXT TO THE GEAR SHIFT. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP. IT THEN STARTED NOT GOING INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. NOT ONLY WOULD THE LIGHTS FLASH AT ME BUT IT WOULD SAY PLACE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL THEN DRIVE OR REVERSE. IT ENDED UP TOWED ONCE BECAUSE T WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT POPPED UP. IT SAID ALL MY GEARS WERE NOT FOUND. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP 7 TIMES FOR THIS SAME REASON. IT WON'T REVERSE AND/OR WON'T GO INTO DRIVE. THE GEAR SHIFT ALSO POPPED INTO PARK GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. MOST RECENTLY I HAD A COLLISION WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE IN REVERSE AND ENDED UP GOING FORWARD AND HITTING A PARKED VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS STILL NOT FIXED AND I...

I PULLED UP INTO MY DRIVEWAY, I STARTED TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK, AND IT WOULD NOT GO IN TO PARK. IT FELT LIKE THE ENTIRE SHIFTER WAS BROKEN OR LOOSE, AS IT WOULD FREELY MOVE UP AND DOWN WITHOUT ACTIVELY PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, NEUTRAL, REVERSE OR DRIVE. I COULD NOT PULL MY KEY OUT, I HAD NO OTHER OPTION, BUT TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND UNPLUG MY BATTERY. I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO PULL THE KEY OUT OF THE FOB, SO THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO LEAVE MY KEYS IN THE CAR. THIS WAS IN MID TO LATE APRIL. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF I COULD TROUBLESHOOT AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS MISSING FROM MY CAR. I OBSERVED THE SHIFTER CABLE WAS NO LONGER ATTACHED, AND THAT IS WHY THE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN) AND STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. DAVE DENNIS DODGE/JEEP/CHRYSLER (4232 COLONEL GLENN HWY, DAYTON, OH 45431) CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NO AVAILABLE. *TR*JB

I HAVE BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEARS AFTER THE CAR HAS WARMED UP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS NOW.IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THIS PAST WEEK THAT IT ALMOST LEFT ME STRANDED 40 MILES FROM HOME WHEN I HAD STOPPED FOR FUEL. I HAD PUT IT IN NEUTRAL WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON, AND IT JUST WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR WHEN I TRIED TO LEAVE.AFTER COOLING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, I FINALLY MANAGED TO CATCH A GEAR AND GO. SOMETIMES, IT WILL SLIP OUT OF FIRST OR SECOND GEAR INTO NEUTRAL, WHILE IN MOTION. THIS MORNING MY HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO MOVE IT INTO THE GARAGE DUE TO A STORM APPROACHING AND HE COULD NOT GET IT INTO ANY GEAR AND THE CLUTCH STUCK TO THE FLOOR. WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE YESTERDAY, SO IT WASN'T EVEN WARM. MY HUSBAND AND I PUSHED IT...

CARE STARTS OVERHEATING WHILE THE COOLANT IS FULL AND ALL OTHER COMPONENTS ARE WORKING. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE OVERHEATING AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF DAMAGE TO BE REPAIRED. ALSO OCCASIONALLY THE OIL SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR FROM THE ENGINE WITH NO LEAK OR VISIBLE DAMAGE.. CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY STALL OUT AS WELL WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 3 TIMES AND THE CAR WILL TURN OFF WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THE DRIVE IS EXTREMELY ROUGH AND IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE IT BANGS REALLY LOUD WITH ANY SMALL BUMP. CAR HAS A BUNCH OF FLAWS AND I HAVE HAD IT LESS THAN 2 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO SHIFT INTO PARK. THE CONTACT CALLED CLAY COOLEY CHRYSLER DODGE (1261 E AIRPORT FWY, IRVING, TX 75062) AND WAS ADVISED TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THEIR FACILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. TWO DAYS LATER, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER FRACTURED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT ALSO RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE KEY LEFT TO TURN OFF CAR, IT WON'T LET ME. SO I HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR MOVE THE GEARS FROM PARK TO ANOTHER AND THEN BACK TO PARK, WAIT FOR THE CLICK NOISE AND THEN TURN MY CAR OFF.

CAR WILL NOT GO INTO PARK WHEN TRYING TO PARK. CAR SAYS NOT I. PARK AND WILL NOT TURN OFF

2014 DODGE DART RECALL UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. CHRYSLER ADVISED THAT THE REMEDY DATE IS 8/8/2019. TOO LONG TO BE WITHOUT A CAR. THEY STATE THEY WILL REIMBURSE RENTAL BUT NOT PAY UPFRONT FOR ONE. THIS IS TOO LONG TO BE WITHOUT MY ONLY VEHICLE.

ON APRIL 17, 2019, WHEN ARRIVING AT DESTINATION, I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT GEARS INTO PARK. HOWEVER, GEARS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE PERMANENTLY. I CALLED MY SIBLINGS TO ASSIST WITH GETTING THE CAR OUT OF REVERSE, THE HANDLE WOULD MOVE BUT THE GEARS WOULD NOT CHANGE. THE ONLY WAY WE COULD GET THE CAR TO STOP WAS WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK. WE TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, BUT ALL LIGHTS STAYED ON AND WE COULD NOT REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE KEY OUT WAS TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER THE FOLLOWING DAY ON APRIL 18TH, AND THEY ADVISED OF A RECALL FOR SHIFT CABLE BUSHING. I ASKED HOW LONG THE PROCESS WOULD TAKE, THEY STATED THEY WOULD MAIL A LETTER TO ADVISE HOW TO SET UP APPOINTMENT, THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER PARTS. I CALLED BACK ON APRIL 25TH TO INQUIRE ONCE AGAIN...

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND FROM THE DEALER. IT HAS STALLED ON ME AND ON OCCASIONS, IT DOES NOTHING WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO START. TOTAL ELECTRICAL DEFECT. SENT LEMON LAW FORM AND ONLY GOT A NEW BATTERY FROM CHRYSLER. THE CAR STILL DOESN'T IDLE OR RUN RIGHT. IN THE STALLING SCENARIO, THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. IN THE NO START IT WAS IN PARK. I NOW HAVE 117,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND FEEL DEFENSELESS TO GET A RESOLUTION. ON OCCASIONS, THE CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT WILL COME ON AS I TURN THE KEY OFF.

"THE BASIC OF THE ISSUE ARE SHIFTING ROUGHLY, OVER-REVVING BEFORE SHIFTING, FAILING TO SHIFT, MAKING A GRINDING NOISE ON TAKE OFF, RUNNING ROUGH, EXHIBITING A BURNING SMELL, SMOKING AND OVERHEATING." DASH LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY WHEN IN TRAFFIC ON MY COMMUTE HOME FROM WORK "TRANSMISSION GETTING HOT PRESS BRAKE" AND THE CAR WILL START TO SMOKE.

I ALLOWED MY CAR TO WARM UP AT HOME FOR 10-15 MINS AND THEN WENT A MILE TO RETURN SOMETHING TO THE STORE LEFT MY CAR RUNNING UNTIL I GOT BACK AND I WENT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE, SO IT TOLD ME TO PUT IT IN NUTERUL AND THEN PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND SO I DID JUST THAT AND IT STILL WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE. SO I CONTINUED TO TRY AND PUT IT IN DRIVE UNTIL IT TOLD ME TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION AND SO AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS IT FINALLY WENT INTO DRIVE AND SO I STARTED TO LEAVE AND IT WOULDN'T GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR THE WHOLE WAY FOR 7 MILES AND SO I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN AND SO I DROVE 8 MORE MILES TO GET MY DODGE DART AREO LOOKED...

ISSUE BEGAN TO OCCUR WHERE CAR WILL LOSE ACCELERATION AND MUST BE TURNED OFF IN ORDER TO WORK AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT SIX TIMES NOW WHERE THE CAR MUST BE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (IF POSSIBLE) AND RESTARTED. DURING RESTART, THE ENGINE HESITATES/SPUTTERS FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS BEFORE RETURNING TO SEEMINGLY NORMAL OPERATION. AT NO OTHER TIME DOES THE CAR ACT LIKE THIS. NORMALLY IT WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS STARTING UP. JUST LAST NIGHT, I WENT TO LEAVE AND WAS UNABLE TO TAKE THE CAR OUT OF PARK. AFTER A QUICK SEARCH I FOUND THAT THE CAR MAY HAVE A LOOSE OR BAD SHIFTING CABLE. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO BE REOCCURRING IN THESE CARS. MY 14 GT HAS 64K MILES AND HAS ALWAYS RECIEVED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

THE ENTIRE CAR IS SHAKING. THE CAR IS ROUGH IDLING. I HAD MY FOOT ALL THE WAY ON THE GAS AND IT WOULDN'T GO ABOVE10 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AND THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT AND SAID THE CYLINDERS WERE MISFIRING

UPON FIRST DRIVING EVERY TIME IT DECELERATION AND IT A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL AND POWERS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TEN DAYS IN A ROW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE DRIVER DISCOVERED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER HAD ERRONEOUSLY SWITCHED FROM THE DRIVE POSITION INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (FRANK FLETCHER DODGE, 5922 WARDEN RD, SHERWOOD, AR) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

I LOVE MY CAR. I DO NOT LOVE HAVING TO DUMP A QUART OF OIL IN IT EVERY 1,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT SHUT OFF. EVERYTHING SHUT OFF! I MANAGED TO GET IT RESTARTED AND MAKE IT BACK TO MY JOB BUT THEN HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BECAUSE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN AND WOULDN'T RESTART. AT THE TIME I HAD NO CLUE ABOUT THE OIL ISSUE AS I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2014. IT IS COSTING ME QUITE A BIT TO KEEP OIL IN IT. THE MANUFACTURER FLAW IS THAT THEY USED ALUMINUM PISTON WHICH BURN THROUGH THE OIL. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND MAY END IN DEATH FOR SOME UNSUSPECTING CONSUMER. ALSO, AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT OR SIGN THE CAR SHIFTS OUT OF DRIVE AS SOON AS...

IT BECAME MORE CONSISTENT IN 2017, MY CAR WOULD STALL DRIVING IT ANYWHERE FROM 25 MPH -75 MPH, SOME DAYS THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK AND THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF AND I'D HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT WAS READY TO BE BACK ON, JUST RECENTLY MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE HAD MY CAR TURN COMPLETELY OFF GOING 75MPH, THE DASHBOARD TURNS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF, SOME TIMES IT TURNS OFF FOR NOT EVEN A MINUTE BEFORE IT TURNS BACK ON. OTHER TIMES I'VE PUT MY CAR ON CRUISE CONTROL AND IT'S TURNED OFF MINUTES AFTER BEING SET. WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE OIL MORE OFTEN WHICH I DID AT MAXIMUM OF 3000 MILES, ON A 2014?! THIS TIME (ITS BEEN SEVERAL SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY) MY CAR TURNED OFF AND WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON, TRIED JUMP STARTING IT FOR ALMOST 3 HOURS AND IT DID...

AS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER ABOUT A MILE FROM HOME MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER MOVE BUT GLIDE ALONG. THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER SPEED. YOU CAN STEP ON THE GAS AND IT WILL NOT MOVE. RPM'S DROP AND THE MOTOR TURNS OFF IN DRIVE. AFTER THIS HAPPENS THE CAR HESITATES TO START BUT WILL. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND ALL STATISTICS FOR THE CAR WERE AS THEY SHOULD BE. THE BATTERY IS SHOWING CORRECT VOLTAGE. THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN.

IF I BRAKE WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF STARTING MY VEHICLE, THE NEXT TIME I BRAKE ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON, THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL STAY ON, AND THE CAR WILL STALL. AFTER WAITING 5 TO 10 MINUTES THE CAR WILL START AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS WITHIN A WEEK OF WHEN MY CAR NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE. THIS HAPPENED 10/24/2017, 10/25/2017, AND 5/17/2018.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE CAR TRIES TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL. IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TCM. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE TCM BUT IT DOES NOT COVER MY VIN NUMBER.

AFTER TCM REPLACEMENT THAT WAS UNDER RECALL, TCM IS STILL FAILING CAUSING VEHICLE TO NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE WITH DODGE, HOWEVER THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE ENGINE WILL STALL RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT STILL NO RECALLS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. LUCKILY, IT'S ONLY HAPPENED ON LOW RPM. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND FIXED.

2014 DODGE DART AERO APPROX. 59700 MILES, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. LARGE CLICKING NOISE FROM LEFT UNDER HOOD. AT TIMES WILL LOOSE GEAR, SPECIFIC TO FIRST AND REVERSE. BURNING SMELL. CAN RESET, WITH A STANDARD OBDII BUT WILL NOT LAST LONG. THIS IS NOT A RECALL VIN BUT THIS CAR IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH ITS CONSTANT TRANSMISSION SHIFTING, LOSS OF POWER AND POTENTIAL ROAD HAZARD. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL BASED ON POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT.

MY VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING AS IF IT HAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS BEFORE I MAKE IT TO THE HIGHWAY. IT USUALLY HAPPENS AS I'M SLOWING DOWN. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS A BATTERY PROBLEM IN SEPT. 2017 AND I PAID OVER $600 TO HAVEN THEM REPLACE THE BATTERY, WHICH RESOLVED THE ISSUE UNTIL NOW. THERE IS A RECALL R42 FOR THIS VERY ISSUE, HOWEVER IT DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VIN NUMBER. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL FITS EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING.

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...

THE CAR LOSES POWER AND SHUTS OFF. THE OIL HAS TO BE TOPPED OFF EVERY 60 TO 90 DAYS OR THE CAR WILL NOT RUN OR WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP, IT MAY MAY NOT START AT ALL. OVER THE PAST YEAR, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 4 TIMES. THE LAST TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP COST OVER $500.00 FOR PARTS RELATIVE TO THE TRANSMISSION.

THE CAR WILL STARTLE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS UNTIL ONE DAY IT JUST STOPPED RESPONDING WHENEVER I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT WILL ONLY DRIVE NO MORE THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR, MAKING HORRIBLE NOISES AND SMELLING BURNT. I HAD TO STOP AND PULL TO THE SIDE AS I WAS DRIVING.IIT WAS SO SCARY BECAUSE I HAD MY DAUGHTER WITH ME AND WAS IN A HIGH TRAFFIC STREET.

MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN I PULLED OUT THE OIL STICK THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO OIL. THIS HAPPENED THE SECOND TIME AS WELL. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE OIL WENT DOWN ABOUT HALF A QUART IN 1000 MILES. THEY SENT ME AWAY AND SAID THAT THIS WAS ACCEPTABLE.THE ENGINE ONLY HOLDS ABOUT FOUR QUARTS THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I WILL NEVER MAKE IT INTO MY NEXT OIL CHANGE WITHOUT THE CAR SHUTTING OFF. THE CAR SHUTS OFF DUE TO A SAFETY REACTION TO STOP THE ENGINE FROM BEING DAMAGED DUE TO LOW OIL. I HAVE NOT MADE IT TO MY OIL CHANGE SINCE I HAVE BEEN REFILLING THE OIL. DODGE'S GUIDELINES SAY IT IS "ACCEPTABLE" FOR THE 2.4 ENGINE TO BURN 1 QUART EVERY...

"ENGINE STALLS OUT AND COMPLETELY DIES". THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY WITH MY SIX YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE ALREADY AND THIS WILL BE THE THIRD FINAL ATTEMPT FOR REPAIR. I'VE BROUGHT A NEW BATTERY EVEN AFTER IT PASSED SUCCESSFUL TESTING, AND THE ALTERNATOR PASSED AS WELL. THE FIRST TIME IT STOPPED ON ME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (HAD THE CAR TOLL TO THE NEAREST AUTOZONE FOR A NEW BATTERY) HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, 2ND TIME IT STOPPED TWO DAYS LATER ON THE INTERSTATE HAD THE CAR (THIS TIME I HAD IT TOLL TO THE DEALERSHIP) AND THEY PUT IN THE WORK ORDER WHAT I STATED DID NOTHING TO THE ENGINE AND ONLY COMPLETED...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION ERRONEOUSLY SWITCHED TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION BEFORE THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (COWBOYS CHRYSLER IN SHELBY, TEXAS) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

MY CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO SHIFT PROPERLY. IT RUNS ROUGH LOSES POWER THEN SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING. WHILE IN MOTION CAR LOSES POWER N SHIFTS LATE. WHEN AT A STOP IN DRIVE THRU PUT IN PARK BEGINS TO IDLE N GET HOT.

CLUTCH PEDAL WILL STICK ON THE FLOOR NOT ALLOWING ME TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, CHANGE GEARS, OR PULL OUT OF GEAR TO STOP WITHOUT PUSHING THROUGH THE BRAKES. IT HAPPENS IN THE MORNING ESPECIALLY AFTER SITTING ALL NIGHT. ALSO, I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT ON THE HIGHWAY DURING A LONG TRIP WHILE STAYING IN GEAR FOR A FEW HOURS.

DODGE DART USES 1QUART OF OIL 1,000 MILES #2 DOES NOT SHIFT IN CORECT GEAR #3 RUBBING IN THE FROUNT END WHEN STEARING.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY DART ON THE STREET, IT SHUT OFF INTO NUETRAL AND THE GEAR BOX LIT UP RED. I TRIED PRESSING ON THE GAS AND IT WAS JUST STALLING NOT MOVING AT ALL. I HAD TO PUT CAR IN PARK (IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION)TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON A FEW TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT INTO DRIVE AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE WHOLE GEAR BOX LIT UP AND WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE IT WAS ON NEUTRAL AND WAS STALLING THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE PARKING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,716. ... .UPDATED 11/16/17 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. UPDATED 11/30/2017*JS

PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, I STARTED THE CAR REVERSED OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY AND THE GEAR SHIFTER IS NOW STUCK IN REVERSE, ALL I CAN DO IS APPLY MY EMERGENCY BRAKE BECAUSE I CAN'T SHIFT THE GEAR UP OR DOWN THEREFORE I CAN'T REMOVE MY IGNITION KEY EITHER. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALER

THE MOTOR HAS HAD AN OIL LEAK THAT STARTED AT 3000 MILES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS MIGHT LEAD TO AN ENINE FIRE. I HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING. WITH THE POWERTRAIN THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE THEN SURGES FORWARD. THIS STARTED AROUND THE 5000 MILE MARK AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. IT ACTS LIKE THE CLUTCH SLIPS BUT I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND EVERY TIME I AM TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS WHEN SITTING IN TRAFFICE OR TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP BECAUE THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO MOVE AT FIRST AND THEN WHEN IT DOES LUNGE FORWARD IT IS NOT CONTROLABLE HOW FAR IT WILL ACTUALL GO.

LOUD HUMMING FROM THE FRONT WHEEL WHILE MAKING A LONG TURN ON THE HIGHWAY TO THE RIGHT. BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER OF PURCHASE, THEY FOUND OUT IT WAS THE REAR WHEEL BEARING, A DAY LATER I'M STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH IMPROVED SOUND REDUCTION FROM THE REAR, SO THE REAR WAS FIXED NOW I'M HAVING THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING REPLACED.

TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING

I WOULD LIKE TO VOICE MY OPINION ON A SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVING THESE CARS WITH THE 2.4 LITER ENGINE. THESE CARS ARE USING OIL, WAY FASTER THAN THEY SHOULD. THE CARS STALL OUT LOSING ALL POWER AND STEERING IF THE OIL BECOMES TOO LOW. THERE ISN'T ANY INDICATOR LIGHT THAT YOU ARE LOW OR ANY SIGN UNTIL IT HAPPENS. CURRENTLY MY CAR IS USING JUST SHY OF A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1K MILES AND THIS IS ACCEPTABLE IN DODGE'S EYES. THEY ADVERTISE THESE CARS TO GO 6-8K MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES - NO MORE THAN 10K MILES! WELL, AT 5.5 QT CAPACITY... YOU WILL ALWAYS RUN OUT PLUS SOME BEFORE A CHANGE IS DUE! I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE COMMENTING ABOUT THEIR VEHICLE STALLING OUT ON HIGHWAYS, ETC WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MAJORITY OF PEOPLE I'M SURE ARE NOT THINKING TO CHECK THEIR OIL ON THEIR NEW CAR WITH EVERY...

TAKATA RECALL , WHEN I GOT THE CAR FORM THE DEALERSHIP TILL NOW I PUT A BIT OVER SEVEN THOUSAND MILES ON A VERY NEW 2014 DODGE DART GT BESIDES THE OCCASIONAL CLUTCH GETTING STUCK WHEN I ENGAGED IT FORCING ME TO HAVE TO PICK IT UP WITH MY TOE I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR NO STALLING OR ROUGH SHIFTS UNTIL LAST NIGHT WHEN I LOST ALL CONTROL WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO QUICKLY SWERVE OF THE ROAD OR BE HIT BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME . ENGINE WHICH STILL RUN AND CAN ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL NOT MORE IN ANY GEAR 1-6 OR EVEN REVERSE AND EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM ON LOTS ODD DODGE DARTS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED THEY SAID MY VIN DOESN'T FALL UNDER THERE RECALL DATES. *TR

TAKATA RECALL THIS 2014 DODGE DART AERO HAS NOW HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUTCH AND AXLES. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP TO HAVE THE SLAVE CYLINDER FOR THE CLUTCH AS WELL AS THE AXLES FIXED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 2 YEARS. THEY ARE ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING IN TO WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. THIS MAKES 2 TIMES THAT IT HAS GONE TO THE SHOP FOR CLUTCH AND AXLE ISSUES. THEY ALSO DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO BUY THE CAR BACK AND THEY WONT. THEY ALSO STATED THAT I MAY BE HAVING TO PAY SOME OUT OF POCKET TO GET MY CAR FIXED THIS TIME. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE; TWICE FOR THE CLUTCH AND AXLES, THE ENGINE LIGHT IS...
