2014 DODGE DART. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO MOTOR DEFECT. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE GEARSHIFT CABLE AND GROMMET FAILED. *JS

MY SHIFTER CABLE HAS BROKE ON MY CAR. I'M BEING TOLD THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PART BUT THERE IS NOTHING DODGE CAN DO ABOUT THIS UNTIL NOVEMBER DUE TO NOT HAVING A PART YET. THEREFORE I AM STUCK WITH A UNDRIVABLE 2014 CAR THAT CANT BE FIXED AND NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME FIX IT NOR WILL THEY PUT ME IN A RENTAL UNTIL THE PART COMES IN. I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THEY CANT DO ANYTHING TO GET THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD UNTIL THE PART COMES IN. I'M CONFUSED AS TO WHY I HAVE EVEN GOTTEN A RECALL NOTICE ON A PART DODGE CAN NOT FIX OR WHY THEY CANT AT LEAST GET MY CAR FIXED ENOUGH TO BE ON THE ROAD UNTIL THIS PART COMES IN. THIS WILL BE MY FIRST AND LAST DODGE AND I WILL FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE IN REVERSE, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL INDEPENDENTLY. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE AND GEAR SHIFTER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. FURTHERMORE, THE BACK UP CAMERA WOULD NOT FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FEDERICO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1875 E EDWARDSVILLE RD, WOOD RIVER, IL 62095, 618-254-1000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE DETACHED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

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 WOULD COME IN THE MAIL NEAR THE END OF AUGUST. ITS THE END OF AUGUST NOW AND STILL NOTHING. THEN THEY SAID TO CONTACT LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND INQUIRE ABOUT PARTS IF THEY HAD ANY IN STOCK. THEY DIDN'T. I DON'T EVEN DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. DODGE NEEDS TO COMPENSATE ME BACK IN FULL AND BUY BACK THE CAR OR BE SUED AND SHUT DOWN AND NO LONGER ALLOWED TO MANUFACTURE THESE PIECES OF [XXX]. THIS IS INSANITY. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER AMERICAN BRAND CAR EVER AGAIN. ALSO THE GAS CAP FELL OFF THE CAR AND THE ELECTRONIC MOTOR IS STRIPPED OR DEFECTIVE. EVERY TIME I PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE DOOR TO OPEN THE GAS CAP TO REFILL IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF HOLDING DOWN THE BUTTON. DODGE SAID THERE IS NO RECALL ON THAT. THE FRONT WINDOWS ALSO FOG UP FOR NO REASON WHEN ITS COLDER. I'M TALKING ABOUT ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. SHODDY CRAFTSMENSHIP AND SHOULD BE SUED. TY FOR READING THIS. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THIS MONTH MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHEN I WENT TO GET IT DIAGNOSED/REPAIRED, I WAS TOLD IT WAS A KNOCK SENSOR. I GOT IT REPLACED AND LESS THAN A DAY LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON. I WENT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP, THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR AGAIN, BECAUSE IT WAS THE SAME CODE, BUT THIS TIME WITH AN OEM PART FROM DODGE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN A DAY LATER AND NOW I AM BEING TOLD THE PCM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THE 2013 MODEL OF MY CAR HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT WAS A RECALL. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT, I AM STILL PAYING FOR IT. THESE TYPES OF MAJOR REPAIRS ON A CAR IS RIDICULOUS. I USED TO WORK IN THE REPAIR SECTOR, SO I KNOW IT'S NOT UNHEARD OF, BUT THIS CAR SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT BE NEEDING A NEW COMPUTER ALREADY. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE CAR IS DOING. WHEN THE LIGHT IS CLEARED, IT COMES BACK ON WITHIN A DAY (I DRIVE ABOUT 14 MILES A DAY ROUND TRIP BACK AND FORTH TO WORK).

THE PARKING BRAKE IS INOPERABLE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE MECHANISM IN THE REAR CALIPERS HAS BECOME SEIZED AND PULLING THE E-BRAKE LEVER WILL NOT ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES, WHICH ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FREELY. PRIOR MODEL YEAR (2013) ALREADY HAVE AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER NEWER MODEL YEARS (2014-2016) DO NOT.

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 PRETTY MUCH TELL ME I GOT WHAT I PAID FOR I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE'S BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ENGINE TRANSMISSION AND THE BRAKES NOT TO MENTION A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT I DON'T EVEN WANT TO GO INTO IT SAYS BELOW TO PUT DOWN A DATE I'M GOING TO PUT DOWN A DATE FOR THIS IS JUST AN ONGOING THING ALWAYS
