2013 DODGE DART Complaints

FIRST MY WIPER FLUID WOULD NOT SPRAY, WHICH CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THEN, ONE DAY I WENT TO PUT MY TURN SIGNAL ON AND MY WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN OFF FROM THAT MOMENT FORWARD. IT WAS NOT RAINING AND THE WIPERS WERE NOT ON ALREADY. MY CAR WAS IN PARK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. PARKED ON A SUBURBAN STREET. I WAS ADVISED IT'S AN ISSUE WITH THE RIBBON IN THE CONTROL ARM. I HAVE AVOIDED ACCIDENTS, BUT I ALSO CANNOT DRIVE AT ALL IF IT'S RAINING. I HAD MY FRIEND CUT THE POWER FROM THE MOTOR B/C OF COURSE NO FUSE. MY WIPERS WOULDN'T STOP MOVING AND THEN THEY STARTED STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING WHICH BECAME EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. IT'S EXTREMELY COSTLY TO FIX.

1ST INCIDENT: DROVE MY GIRLFRIEND TO WORK. CAME HOME AND PARKED THE CAR. WENT BACK OUT AND IT KEPT SAYING GEAR NOT FOUND. THEY HAD TO PUT A WIRE ON MY TRANSMISSION MODULE, OR SAID I COULD BY A NEW ONE. 2ND FOR ABOUT THE LAST YEAR IT WON'T FIND THE GEAR. SAYS GO TO NEUTRAL THEN DRIVE. SOMETIMES WON'T GO TO ANYTHING. 3RD. WIPERS WENT ON AND WOULDN'T TURN OFF. SPRAYER DOESN'T WORK. LADY ON THE PHONE SAID THE RECALL WAS FIXED IN 2016. BUT OBVIOUSLY IT IS STILL AN ISSUE.

BUSHING ON THE SHIFT CABLE OF THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION COMES LOOSE. CAR CANNOT BE SHIFTED. THIS OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT BUT COULD HAVE OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. BASICALLY, THE CAR REMAINS STUCK IN ONE GEAR. NOTE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BUT NOT THE MANUAL. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT BELOW HIGHWAY SPEEDS, EG CROSSING AN INTERSECTION IN SUBURBAN NEW JERSEY. THE ENGINE CUTS OUT, RANDOM MESSAGES ON THE INFORMATION CENTER APPEAR, AND THE DRIVE MUST COAST TO A STOP AND RESTART THE CAR. IT'S UNPREDICTABLE AND INTERMITTENT, WITH NO OBD CODE TO HELP DEALER DIAGNOSE OR REPLICATE. THE CAUSE IS PRESENTLY UNKNOWN DESPITE DEALER EFFORT.

USED MY TURN SIGNALS AND WIPERS CAME ON AND WOULD NOT STOP UNLESS ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF COST $739.00 TO REPAIR CAR, I BELIEVE THIS IS A RECALLABLE EVENT?THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER DODGE CUSTOMER.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL ON IT'S OWN, FOR US IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN WE STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THEN IT'S DISPLAYED TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN TO DRIVE OR REVERSE, THIS MAY HAVE TO BE PERFORMED TWO OR THREE TIMES BEFORE THE CAR MOVE, THEN WE ONLY HAVE THE EVEN OR THE ODD GEARS DEPENDING ON WITCH CLUTCH ACTIVATES. THIS HAPPENED ON A FOUR LANE SUBURBAN ROAD WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 50 MPH AND WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GETS TO FULL TEMPERATURE. THIS VEHICLE HAD THE RECALL 15V-542 PERFORMED 08/25/15. AFTER SEVERAL TCM FAILURES ABUSING THE TRANSMISSION PRIOR TO THE RECALL, THE TRANSMISSION NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL ISSUE FIRST HAPPENED JULY OF 2014.

CHECKED THE FUSES, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, ETC. REPLACED A 200AMP FUSE AT THE BATTERY CAR WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. BAM THE CAR WILL NOT START ONCE AGAIN. ALL LIGHT ARE ON, BATTERY IS CHARGE FULLY THEDARN CARJUST WONT TURN ON. THIS IS A HARZARD COMPUTER CHECKS NOT ONE RECAL ON THIS ELECTICAL UNKNOW ISSUE, NOW I HAVE A RED BOX IN MY YARD THAT LOOKS PRETTY. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ELECTRICAL ISSUE, BUT WHEN I CALLED DODGE THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE.
