2013 DODGE DART Complaints

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS WON'T TURN ON ANYMORE. AND I'VE SEARCHED UP THIS PROBLEM TO TRY TO FIX IT, BUT IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. IT CAN CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE DURING HEAVY RAINS BECAUSE THE I COULDN'T TURN ON THE WIPERS TO WIPE THE RAIN WATERS AWAY. DRIVING BACK FROM WARREN, IN TO FORT WAYNE, IN WAS A SCARY TRIP THROUGH THE I-69 SOUTH AND US 33 S ROUTE, THE HEAVY RAIN BLINDED AND COVERED EVERYTHING ON THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE ROADS AND OTHER MV WAS HARDLY ABLE TO SEE, ALL I CAN SEE WAS A GLIMPSE OF BLURRY YELLOW LIGHTS FROM THE SEMI TRUCKS. PLEASE HAVE THIS RECALL, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED THE RECALLS ALL HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF MULTIPLE TIMES AND YET THE SAME PROBLEM I NEED A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE I'VE SPENT WAY MORE THAN THE VEHICLES WORTH

WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSH IT WAS HARD AS A ROCK AND NO BRAKES, HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP ,ALMOST GETTING HIT IN A INTERSECTION. FOUND THAT THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP HAD SEIZED AND CHECK VALVE TO BOOSTER HAD FAILED INTRODUCING ENGINE OIL INTO BRAKE BOOSTER. DEALERSHIPS HAVE CLAIMED IT WAS NO PROBLEM WHEN RECALL WAS ISSUED AND ANOTHER SAID RECALL HAS EXPIRED. I THOUGHT THEY HAVE UP TO 8 TO 10 YEARS TO FIX SAFETY RECALLS.

WHEEL LUGS SWELL AND BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE FROM THE WHEEL HUB, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE, A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM ON BUSY STREETS. VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE TOWED, WITH EXPENSIVE REPAIRS, SIMPLY TO CHANGE A TIRE. AN INTERNET SEARCH CONFIRMED THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY DODGE DART OWNERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER AND RESTARTED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH IN LOCAL TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE HAZARD LIGHTS WHILE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLES COMPUTER SYSTEM. MY IPHONE NO LONGER CONNECTS TO THE CAR VIA BLUETOOTH, THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SCREEN WILL SHUT DOWN AND RELOAD RANDOMLY, THE REVERSE CAMERA GOES IN AND OUT (SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T, AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE BUTTONS ON THE RADIO FUNCTION WON'T WORK AT ALL.

BACK IN THE BEGINNING OF 2019 I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT WAS CAUSING A JERKING MOTION WHEN I ACCELERATED AND I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. I INITIALLY HAD A CODE COME UP STATING THAT I NEEDED TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION. IT WOULD COME ON AND CLEAR ITSELF BEFORE I COULD GET IT LOOKED AT. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS OR MORE AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THEM AND DISCUSSED THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION THEY DISMISSED ME AS THAT WASN'T THE ISSUE BUT, AT THAT POINT I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED INTO THE SHOP BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE IT. THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED THE TRANSMISSION RECALL AND I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY CAR SITTING FOR THE LAST YEAR AND 2 MONTHS DUE TO MY INABILITY TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF WHATEVER ISSUES THAT WERE GOING ON THAT THEY NEVER FIXED. I AM UNSURE OF THE DAMAGE THAT THIS HAS CAUSED AND I AM HOPING THAT YOU GUYS WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT I CAN DO TO HAVE THEM NOW FIX MY CAR. SINCE THERE IS POSSIBLY ADDITIONAL DAMAGE DONE TO MY VEHICLE DUE TO THEM DISMISSING ME I FEEL THAT IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THAT DAMAGE AS WELL. THE DATE I GAVE WAS AN APPROXIMATE DATE SINCE IT HAS BEEN SO LONG I AM UNSURE OF THE EXACT DATE BUT CAN GET A COPY OF THE DOCUMENTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP IF NEEDED.

THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION SIGNAL KEEPS COMING ON TO THE DASH BOARD THE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO GO IN GEAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE. SOMETIMES IT GIVES TROUBLE GOING FORWARD & IT SWITCHES AUTOMATICALLY TO NEUTRAL. 2013 IS THE WORST MODEL I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH IT SINCE I GOT IT.

THE ENGINE IS STALLING WHEN EVER THE CAR IS DRIVEN AND ALSO THE PCM IS UNABLE TO KEEP UP THE CHARGING.

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP IT HESITATES AND JERKS IF YOU GIVE IT TOO MUCH GAS EVERY TIME YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OR SLOW TO A STOP SOMETHING POPPING IN THE FRONT END IF YOU TAKE OFF TOO FAST IT'LL BACKFIRE LITTLE POPS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ALWAYS COMING ON SAYING THAT WE HAVE MULTIPLE MISFIRES WHEN WE DON'T WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON THE AUTOMATIC START DOESN'T WORK AND WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS BLINKING
