2012 DODGE DART Complaints

DODGE DART SHIFTER CABLE SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT YET BEEN FIXED NOR IS THERE A REMEDY FOR IT YET. IT HAS BEEN QUITE A FEW MONTHS AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR. THERE HASN'T BEEN AN INCIDENT BUT I HAVE BEEN MONTHS WITHOUT A CAR THAT I NEED TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE AND AM PAYING FOR.

I WAS IN A PARKING SPOT IN NEUTRAL AND WENT TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND THE CORD ON THE REVERSE POPPED.

I BOUGHT A DODGE DART 2013 LIMITED EDITION (OR WAS TALKED INTO IT BY YOUR SALESPEOPLE) I WANTED THIS TO BE MY LAST CAR AND I ACTUALLY REALLY LIKED IT. THEN I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL RANDOMLY. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD. A LEMON LAW FIRM CONTACTED ME AND SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE CAR IF I HAD 3 OCCURRENCES WITH RECEIPTS WHICH I SUBMITTED TO THEM. THEY SAID CHRYSLER WAS GIVING ME $3900. I WAS CONFUSED BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE GIVING ME ENOUGH TO REPLACE THE CAR. THEY EXPLAINED CHRYSLER DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT. I ACTUALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT (THAT WAS 2016) AND THOUGHT THE ISSUE HAD BEEN FIXED SO I WAS HAPPY. NOW THIS PAST JULY 4TH 2019 MY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAVE RETURNED. MY CAR HAS 48,000 ONLY AND NOT EVEN THE DODGE EXTENDED WARRANTY (WHICH I WANTED TO NOW PURCHASE) DO NOT COVER 2013 MODELS. THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES TO ME. THEY KNOW THEY SOLD ME A LEMON AND ONE THAT IS NOT SAFE. I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR AND HAVE NOW LEARNED THAT LEMONS ARE BOUGHT AND SOLD BACK TO THE PUBLIC. I WILL NEVER BUY OR SPEAK WELL ABOUT CHRYSLER AGAIN. YOU ARE A FRAUDULENT COMPANY. I WANTED A HONDA ORIGINALLY BUT WAS TALKED OUT OF IT BY NEIGHBORS WHO WORK FOR CHRYSLER. I WILL BE CALLING DEENA CENTOFANTI FROM CHANNEL 2 FOX TO TELL HER I WAS SOLD AN UNSAFE CAR AND I AM STUCK WITH IT. THEY ALREADY KNOW THAT CHRYSLER KNEW THE SYSTEM DESIGN WAS FAULTY IN 2012 BUT RELEASED THE 2013 ANYWAY. SHAMEFUL.

IN THE MORNINGS WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR MY CLUTCH PEDAL STICKS DOWN AND I HQVE TO PULL IT UP USING MY FOOT/HAND. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION DARTS. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER ABIUT THE ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET SAY THAT IT IS A SLAVE/ MASTER CYLINDER ISSUE AND IF NOTHING IS DONE DURING EARLY STAGES LIKE STARTING YOUR CAR IN THE MORNING. IT DOES START TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND DOES CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A HUGE SAFTEY CONCERN THAT THEY SHOULD FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS WERE FAULTY.

I HAVE A RECALL WARNING THAT THE DODGE DART SHIFTING CABLE MAY BREAK AND THIS DID HAPPEN ON MY VEHICLE. THE DODGE DART IS AT THE DODGE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE SHIFTING CABLE BECAUSE THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX YET. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR DODGE TO FIX THE PROBLEM REGARDLESS IF THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX TO THE PROBLEM YET.

WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE DART, WHEN I WENT TO PARK THE SHIFTER WOULD MOVE BUT IT WAS NOT ACTUALLY CHANGING GEARS.

I HAVE BEEN FINANCING THIS CAR SINCE 2013,AND SO FAR IT'S BEEN ON THE RECALL LIST TWICE, HOWEVER THIS TIME IT'S BEEN LABELED DAMAGED GOODS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANIES AND GEICO RECENTLY TERMINATED MY POLICY AS A RESULT OF THIS, AND NO OTHER INSURANCE COMPANY IS WILLING TO TAKE A RISK AND INSURE THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, SO I'M STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE,THE FCA SENT ME ANOTHER LETTER TELLING ME THAT THERE'S ANOTHER DEFECTIVE ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND AS SOON AS THE PART COMES INTO STOCK THEY'LL LET ME KNOW SO I CAN TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THE ISSUE ADDRESSED,BUT BECAUSE MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS TERMINATED MY POLICY I CAN'T EVEN DRIVER THE CAR THERE,AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE ANYMORE BECAUSE IT HAS TOO MANY DEFECTS AND KEEP WINDING UP ON THE RECALL LIST, IT POSSIBLY FALLS UNDER THE LEMON LAWS AND I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO HAVE TO CONTINUE MAKING PAYMENTS ON A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE,SO I'M LOOKING FOR A LOGICAL RESOLUTION OUT OF CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY SAFETY,LIKE BEING ABLE TO TRADE IT IN FOR A SAFER CAR
