2013 DODGE DART Complaints

Despite saying there are no open recalls on my vehicle it does seem to malfunction the same as the last recall. The vehical got stuck in drive last week and had to use the emergency brake to keep it from rolling. After having it towed (friday) to my dealership and manual override to put it in park, it acted normal. The car was looked at the following morning and they could not get it to malfunction. I picked it Monday because I have a warranty that will cover it but they can't do anything unless it is acting up. Today I went to go to tue store and it is stuck in park. I just want to make sure that if any cars were missed in the last recall it can be addressed. Or if it is one of the included vehicles, figure out if it was actually repaired.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON ONE DAY AFTER USING THE TURN SIGNAL AND HAVE NOT SHUT OFF. MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED AND ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. CURRENTLY THE WIPER MOTOR IS DISCONNECTED TO PREVENT WIPERS FROM RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALL AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. DEALERSHIP WANTS MONEY TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC AND THEN MORE MONEY FOR LABOR TO FIX THE ISSUE THEY FIND. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR DISTRACTION AND VISIBILITY FOR THE DRIVER.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE AND JERKED REALLY HARD. MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE RPM'S JUST KEPT RIVING UP BUT CAR WAS NOT GOING ANY FASTER. IT HAS DONE THIS TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK. THE DEALERSHIP PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND RAN SOME TESTS AND CLEARED OUT ALL CODES AND UPDATED SOME STUFF AND TOLD ME TO LET HI KNOW IF THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. WELL ON THE WAY HOME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND DID THE SAME THING AND JERKED REALLY HARD MAKING MY CAR SLOW DOWN AND NOT ACCELERATE. THE CODE SAYS THE PCM/TCM BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. IT ACTS LIKE IT DOESNT WANT TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR.

I WAS DRIVING AND WHILE I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SO I TEND TO ALWAYS PUT IT IN THE N POSITION SO THAT I CAN REST MY LEG WHILE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ON AND ONCE TRAFFIC STARTED TO MOVE I ATTEMPTED TO PUT IT IN THE D POSITION TO MOVE FORWARD AND STARTED TO NOTICE A IT TO BE DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE AUTOMATIC STICK BUT DID NOT REALLY THINK MUCH OF IT BUT I KNEW ONCE I GET BACK INTO MY STATE I WOULD TAKE IT TO GET LOOKED AT. ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE HIGH WAY OF A 3-HOUR DRIVE, I STARTED TO WORRY SINCE MY CAR SOUNDED LIKE IF I HAD A ROCK BOUNCING IN MY TRANSMISION SO APROCHING TO A TOLL PAY STAND I DECIDED TO PUT IT ON N POSITION TO KEEP IT RUNNING BUY MAKE A STOP ON THE SIDE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO SO I TRY TO PUT IT ON D AGAIN TO SEE IF IT RESPONDED AND THAT WAS WHAT MADE US KNOW WE WERE IN TROUBLE. I COULD NOT CONTROL MY DODGE DART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE FORWARD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT PRESSED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER DALE EARNHARDT GMC LOCATED AT 1850 CAPITAL CIR NE, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32308, WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN I TURNED THE CORNER TO PROCEED ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WOULD NOT SPEED UP. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT WAS ONLY REVING UP THE ENGINE LIKE IT WAS STUCK. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY GAIN SPEED BUT NO MORE THEN 45 MPH. WHEN I WOULD TRY TO GAIN SPEED IT WOULD REACH HIGH RPMS BUT NOT GO ANYWHERE BUT THEN IT WOULD JERK HARD AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS MAKING LOUD CLANKING NOISES LIKE GEARS SHIFTING MORE THEN THEY SHOULD. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHICH IT GOES OFF AND ON ALL THE TIME. I HAVE ALSO BEEN PUTTING MORE OIL IN THE CAR THEN I'VE EVER HAD TO DO. IT IS USING OIL AND THE GAS FUMES ARE STILL HORRIBLE FROM MY LAST COMPLAINT AND I AM NOT GETTING GOOD GAS MILEAGE LIKE USUAL THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THE FAILURE RECCURRED. THE CODES PROVIDED WERE FOR THE PCM/TCM.

CLUTCH SLAVE/THROWOUT BEARING FAILURE 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN 100K MILES. EACH TIME CAUSES CONTIMINATION OF CLUTCH/FLYWHEEL AND 10 HOURS TO REPLACE. THE PART IS FAULTY AND HAS NOT BEEN REVISED WITH A PART THAT CAN SURVIVE REGULAR USE. ALSO TRANSMISSION FAILURE BEFORE 100K AS WELL.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS EITHER IN MOTION OR WHILE IDLE, THE CLIMATE CONTROL WILL PERIODICALLY NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. OTHER TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON, IT WILL ONLY FUNCTION AT A HIGH SETTING. THE SEAT WARMERS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE BLUETOOTH DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. OCCASIONALLY, THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON WILL WORK TO TURN THE FUNCTION ON, HOWEVER, SETTING OR RESETTING THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK AT ALL WHILE IN MOTION.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL JUMP OUT OF DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL. IT HAS DONE THIS FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW AND WHEN I GOT THE CAR WAS TOLD BY MT AIRY DODGE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SHIFTER WHICH WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM I HAVENT HAD THE SHIFTER SERVICED YET BUT I CALLED TODAY TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THAT RECALL FIXED FOR THEM TO TELL ME MY CAR DOESNT HAVE ANY RECALLS
