THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED MANUFACTURER SAID IT WAS CONSUMER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT. *JB

I HAVE FELT SLIPS IN THE TRANSMISSION LATELY BUT YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND IT JUST WENT TO NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT GO IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE DASH DISPLAYED WORDS SAYING SERVICE NEEDED ON TRANSMISSION. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND WITED A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN, IT WENT INTO DRIVE AND I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY WHICH WAS A BLOCK AWAY. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW WHERE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. AM I COVERED ON THIS?

I WAS DRIVING TO MY LOCAL ALBERTSONS AND WHEN PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPACE IN THE CAR LOT I WENT TO SHIFT MY TRANSMISSION INTO PARK BUT WHEN I MOVED THE STICK UP FROM DRIVE TO PARK I NOTICED THAT THE STICK FELT TOO SMOOTH AS IF IT DIDNT CATCH. SURE ENOUGH WHEN I CHECKED THE LIGHT STILL READ "D" FOR DRIVE INSTEAD OF "P" FOR PARK AT THIS POINT I HAD A VEHICLE THAT I COULDN'T NORMALLY SHIFT SO MAINTAINING MY FOOT ON THE BREAK I WAS ABLE TO POWER OFF THE ENGINE BUT MY KEYS WERE STILL STUCK INSIDE AS THATS A FEATURE OF THE CAR IF THE CAR IS NOT SET ON PARK. I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY HAND BRAKE AND LUCKLY THE CAR WASN'T MOVING ON ITS OWN. AFTER CALLING AAA TO TOW MY CAR THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE SHIFT CABLE BUSHING HAD BROKE. HE SAID I WAS LUCKY TO BE IN A SITUATION WHERE I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN THE SAFE AREA TO ADDRESS THIS AS HAD THIS HAPPENED IF I WAS REVERSING ON A HILL OR ATTEMPTING PARK DOWNHILL AND IT BROKE THEN IT COULD HAVE LED TO A COLLISION.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PERIODICALLY COMES ON AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WORK. THE MESSAGE GIVEN ON THE DASH IS THAT THE GEAR BOX ISN'T AVAILABLE. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, THE INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHES AND THE CAR WON'T MOVE. THE CAR SITS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, THEN IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN FOR A FEW WEEKS. IT IS ASININE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT BY THE MANUFACTURER. THANK GOODNESS THIS HASN'T HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREETS, BUT IT WILL EVENTUALLY. WHEN I BACKED IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE OTHER MORNING IT STOPPED WORKING AND THE ENGINE JUST REVVED. I WOULD RATHER JUNK THIS CAR THAN FIX IT, BUT WE STILL OWE ON IT. WE'VE ONLY HAD THE STUPID THING FOR 6 MONTHS AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE OWNER PRIOR TO US. THIS IS TWO FOR TWO FOR CRAP DODGE CARS. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER!

I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR, MY LIFE HAS BEEN PUT IN DANGER ON COUNTLESS OCCASIONS. THE 2013 DODGE DART SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD, IT IS A DANGER TO OTHERS AND TO ITS DRIVERS. I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2013 AND FROM DAY ONE I ALWAYS FELT THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WAY IT SHIFTED. IT IS NOW 2019 AND FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS THE CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE RECALL. THE CAR HAS REVVED UP TO 80 MPH ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, IF I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE I WOULD HAVE DRIVEN IN TO THE INTERSECTION. THE CARS RPMS HAVE GONE UP TO 7,000 WHILE I WAS AT 50 MPH, THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS SHIFTING BACK DOWN WHILE COMING TO A SLOWER SPEED ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT IN COLD TEMPERATURES AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, THE CAR HAS LOST ALL BOOST WHILE STEPPING ON THE GAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, THE CAR IS 6 YEARS OLD 67,000 MILES AND NEEDS THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REPLACED ONE WEEK AFTER MY 6 YEAR WARRANTY ENDED. THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE AND UNPREDICTABLE, NOT ONLY HAS THIS CAR BEEN A FINANCIAL BURDEN BUT IT HAS PUT MINE AND MY CHILD'S LIFE IN DANGER AND THE DEALER CAN NOT FIX THE REOCCURRING PROBLEMS.

VEHICLE WILL ACT LIKE IT SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE CAR IS ALSO REVVING UP TO 3RPM ON ITS OWN WITH NO GAS PETAL BEING TOOTHED. THE STEERING COLUMN IS CLICKING AND MAKING A SCRUBBING SOUND. MECHANICS CAN NOT IDENTIFY A PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL. HI I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART LIMITED WITH 118,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS AT A 4 WAY STOP SIGN I WENT TO GO AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. MY GEARS WOULD NOT WORK. DRIVE, REVERSE AND NEUTRAL ALL DO NOT WORK. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S THE TRANSMISSION.THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION. IT'S A AUTOMIX 1.4 TURBO TRANSMISSION. THIS SHOULD BE ON YOUR GUYS TO RECALL AND RELACE MY TRANSMISSION.

AFTER FUELING THE CAR UP, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THIS WASN'T THE 1ST TIME.

TAMARA RECALL. I WAS DRIVING MY DART HOME FROM WORK THIS EVENING WHEN I NOTICED A POWER LOSS AND A BURNING SMELL. ONCE I PULLED CAR OVER I REALIZED IT WAS ON FIRE. FIRE STARTED JUST BY THE BATTERY. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS.
