TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PLACED IN REVERSE AND FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO ENGAGE THE DESIRED GEAR. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN) AND CONTACTED WALNUT CREEK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (2404 N MAIN ST, WALNUT CREEK, CA 94596, (888) 377-2513) TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

RECALL V34, HAS BEEN OPEN ON MY CAR SINCE APRIL 2019. PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE DEALERSHIP. NOW MY CAR IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL, I CAN'T TURN IT OFF. THE GEAR SHIFT SEEMS TO BE STUCK. I CAN'T USE IT AND IT'S STUCK IN MY PARKING LOT.

WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE TOUCHSCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BLACK. AFTER FINISHING BACKING UP GOT INTO THE MAIN ROAD, THE SCREEN STAYED BLACK FOR A MINUTE. WHEN I WENT TO THE STORE I WAS HEADED TO, I TURNED OFF THE CAR OF COURSE, WHEN I CAME BACK TO START IT, IT WAS BACK TO NO NORMAL. WHEN IT GOES BLACK I CANNOT CONTROL THE AIR OR THE HEAT SINCE ALL THAT IS IN THE SCREEN. I HAVE READ SEVERAL THREADS ABOUT THIS AND THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO REPLACE THE SCREEN AND IT STILL DOESN'T HELP. I TRIED CONTACTING DODGE ONLINE THEY JUST TELL ME TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. NOTE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME ON MINE SO IT'S HARD TO TAKE A VIDEO/PICTURE BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN SINCE IT'S AT A RANDOM TIME. I SEEN SOME OTHER VEHICLES ONLINE WITH THIS TYPE OF SCREEN HAS BEEN ON RECALLED AND FIXED. AT THIS MOMENT I'M LOOKING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT CAN BE DEPENDABLE WITH THE AIR OR HEAT AND WHERE AND HOW MUCH IT BLOWS ALONG WITH THE TEMPERATURE. I HAVE 2 KIDS THAT CAN'T GET HOT IN THE SUMMER OR FREEZING IN THE WINTER DUE TO NOT HAVING CONTROL OVER THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER OIL WAS ADDED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED ENGINE OIL WAS ADDED EACH TIME PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE BEING DRIVEN. THE CONTACT CALLED LOCAL DEALER TOWBIN DODGE LLC LOCATED AT (275 AUTO MALL DR, HENDERSON, NV 89014, (702) 558-3800) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,784.

WHILE I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO IDLING, MY CAR STALLED. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES NOW. I AM SCARED, I USUALLY HAVE MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME.

MY DODGE DART HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES NOW WHERE IT WON'T START EARLY IN THE MORNING, TYPICALLY ON COLDER MORNINGS. I'LL TRY TO START IT AND NOTHING HAPPENS, YET ALL MY LIGHTS ARE WORKING INCLUDING RADIO AND AC. I TRIED JUMPING THINKING MAYBE IT WAS THE BATTERY AND STILL NOTHING. IT'S NOT TURNING OVER OR CLICKING AT ALL AND THE GAUGES ARE GO CRAZY. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO BRING IT TO THE SHOP BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ON GOING ISSUE.

THE TURN INDICATOR STALK/LEVER IN MY CAR IS BROKEN. IT IS A MULTI-TASK LEVER DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT CONTROLS MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS, WINDOW CLEANER, AND ENABLES ME TO SWITCH MY LIGHTS FROM DIM TO BRIGHT. THE LEVER NOW FALLS AND CALLS MY TURNING LIGHTS TO BLINK CONTINUOUSLY WHILE I'M DRIVING AS WELL AS CAUSE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS TO JUST POP UP WHEN I'M DRIVING BEHIND SOMEONE AT NIGHT. I FEEL THAT THIS CAN BE A DANGER TO ANYONE BECAUSE THEY CAN THINK SOMEONE IS TURNING AND KEEP GOING, OR CAN BE BLINDED BY THE BRIGHT LIGHTS SWITCHING ON AND OFF. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY STATED THAT THERE IS A BACKORDER ON THE PART AND THAT 150 PEOPLE WERE AHEAD OF ME WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I AM UNABLE TO GET THE PART UNTIL MID-FEBRUARY, BUT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT COULD BE PUSHED BACK FARTHER THAN THAT. I ASKED FOR SOMETHING SO IF I WAS PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH MY LIGHTS, I WOULD HAVE SOMETHING COVERING ME. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANYTHING STATING THAT THERE WAS A BACK-ORDER ON THE PART.

AT 61000 MILES MY DODGE DART SXT HAS A SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM ALARM POP UP. I CONTACTED TWO DEALERSHIPS BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL OR OPEN WARRANTY FOR THIS. AS IT'S AIRBAGS, A SAFETY ISSUE I PUSHED THE SUBJECT A LITTLE HARDER WITH DODGE THEMSELVES AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. SAFETY IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE FIRST, AND UPON FURTHER RESEARCH THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE A BIT TO OTHER DODGE DART OWNERS FROM 2013 TO PRESENT WITH LITTLE TO KNOW KNOWLEDGE WHY. VEHICLE SITS IN MY BARK PARKED AREA AND IS DRIVEN VERY LITTLE SO SHOULDN'T ACTIVELY HAVE ISSUES LIKE THIS OCCUR.

ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE VENT OUT, THE DIGITAL DASHBOARD THE TOUCH SCREEN EVERYTHING THAT LIGHTS UP WENT OUT. THE MOTOR ALMOST DIED AND STARTED TO SPUTTER. WHEN I ACCELERATE IT HAS NO POWER THEN IT WILL TAKE OFF THEN NO POWER. WHEN I AM STOPPED THE IDLE IS SO LOW IT ALMOST DIES AND THE ENTIRE CAR SHAKES VERY HARD. THIS STARTED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH.

MULTIPLE TIMES 4 TO BE EXACT MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MANY OF THESE FROM MY RESEARCH. ONCE I WAS GETTING ON AN EXPRESSWAY AND WAS ALMOST HIT ANOTHER TIME WAS TURNING ON A BUSY STREET ALMOST BEING HIT LUCKILY I WAS NOT. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD THE CAR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING NEW. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS THIS SEPTEMBER. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE NOTHING AND SAYS THEY KNOW IT HAPPENS BUT NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR IT. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED BEFORE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE ?
