2013 DODGE DART Complaints

6 SPEED DODGE DART WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY, CAR TURNS ON BUT WON'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS WHEN ACCELERATED AND IN GEAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT THEN IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO MY RESIDENCE. I HAD A MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THEY BELIEVE IT IS A TRANSMISSION MOTOR CONTROL PROBLEM THAT OTHER 2013 DODGE DARTS HAVE ALSO ENCOUNTERED.

THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY MOVES TO NEUTRAL AND THE GEARS DO NOT WORK. I TOOK THE CAR FOR A RECALL ON CABLE BUSHING ON THE TRANSMISSION AND I CAN DRIVE THE CAR FOR A BIT BUT WILL FALL IN NEUTRAL BY ITSELF HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE FOR THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE CAR.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON WHEN A PASSENGER SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. WHEN DRIVING, THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON WHEN DRIVING WITH NO PASSENGER AND THEN STAYED ON. IN ADDITION, THE SEATBELT LIGHT WOULD BEEP EVEN WHEN THE PASSENGER BELT WAS PLUGGED IN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO DODGE FOR SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THE SEATBELT COULD NOT BE FIXED BECAUSE THE PART NEEDED WAS DISCONTINUED. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRE HARNESSES. THE DAY AFTER GETTING MY CAR BACK FROM BEING REPAIRED, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS BACK ON. IT CAME ON ONCE I STARTED THE CAR. IT NOW COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES DOES NOT GO OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS OFF.

RECALL R42 WAS COMPLETED ON MAY 7 2018, AS OF TODAY THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE ORIGINAL SAFETY RECALL BOTH THE DEALER AND FCA SAID THAT THE 2 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE TCM HAS EXPIRED BY 2 MONTHS. APPARENTLY THE SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES. THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR A NEW TCM. I FEEL THAT THE FIX THEY DID ORIGINALLY WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND DODGE SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BY TAKING CARE OF THE SAME PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2013 DODGE DART AND THE SHIFTER CABLE THAT WAS RECALLED IN MAY OF 2013 HAS FAILED AGAIN AND I CAN NOT TURN MY KEY ALL THE WAY TO THE OFF POSITION THEREFORE EITHER HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR RUNNING OR TURN IT WHERE IT SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE BUT DOESNT SHUT EVERYTHING ELSE OFF AND DOORS CAN NOT BE LOCKED. THE GEAR SHIFT CAN BE MOVED BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT IT BEING STARTED OR EVEN HAVING TO PUSH IN THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH IS HAZARDOUS. I TOOK THE BATTERY CABLES OFF SO IT WOULD NOT KILL MY BATTERY LEAVING EVERYTHING ON AND I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT SOME LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD KID DOESNT GET IN MY CAR BECAUSE IF THE GEAR KNOB IS ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED IT CAN ROLL AWAY. I HAVE REPEATEDLY REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AND I CAN ONLY GUESS THAT BECAUSE THEIR HAD BEEN NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURY REPORTED THEY WILL NOT INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT A LIFE ISNT THE COST OF THEIR SELFISHNESS TO LOOSING MONEY FOR DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THESE CARS.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND AND SERVICE POWER STEERING CAN ONLY MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARDS WHEELS WON'T TURN

I WAS IN STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT AT THE MALL AND MY CAR MOVED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN PARK. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT WAS HARD TO MOVE IT INTO DRIVE. ONCE I DID I DROVE IT AROUND A LITTLE BIT THINKING MAYBE SOMETHING WAS STUCK SO THEN I PUT IN PARK AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND IT WAS FINE. IT HAS DONE THIS ON A FEW OCCASIONS TO ME. I CALLED THE PLACE I GOT MY CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. FAST TRACK A FEW WEEKS LATER I GOT THE SAFETY RECALL IN FOR THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BRUSHING V34 THAT WAS FROM APRIL 2019 WHEN IT WAS MAY 2020. PLUS ON THE ONE RECALL PAPER I GOT IT ALSO SAYS I HAVE ANOTHER RECALL (V50) THAT WAS FROM LAST YEAR THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF. IT EXPLAINS THE SAME THING I WENT THROUGH COULD HAPPEN. I CALLED THE PLACE I GOT MY CAR AND THEY ONCE AGAIN TOLD ME THEY HAD NO IDEA. I CALLED A DODGE DEALERSHIP BUT TOLD ME DUE TO COVID THEY COULDNT FIX MY RECALL RIGHT NOW. I CALLED THE PLACE I GOT MY CAR AGAIN AND I ASKED ABOUT A RENTAL UNTIL I COULD GET THIS FIXED. THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN BUT I'D HAVE TO CONTINUE PAYING FOR MY DODGE DART THAT HAS A MAJOR RECALL ON IT PLUS THE RENTAL AND THE INSURANCE. SO I'VE BEEN DRIVING MY DART AROUND AND EVERY NOW AND THEN IT'LL DO IT BUT THE DEALERSHIPS KEEP TELLING ME THE SAME THING. I'M PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT SCARES ME TO DRIVE WITH A MAJOR RECALL THAT NOBODY CAN APPARENTLY FIX. I'M READY TO LEAVE IT AT THE LOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER WITH THE RPM REVVED UP TO 6,000 RPM WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SPRADLEY AUTO NETWORK (2146 HIGHWAY 50, PUEBLO, CO 81008) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS STILL PENDING. THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 109,000.

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH MY 2013 DODGE DART LIMITED. I PURCHASED IT WITH 36,900 MILES ON IT BACK IN JULY OF 2016. HERE WE ARE IN JULY OF 2020 AND THE CAR DOES NOT EVEN HAVE 67,000 MILES ON IT. MY PROBLEM LISTED WAS CREATED ONLY ROUGHLY A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING. THE ENTIRE UCONNECT SYSTEM MAKES MY VEHICLE UNABLE TO OPERATE SAFELY. WHETHER IT'S THE SCREEN GOING BLACK WHERE I CAN NOT CONTROL/CHANGE ANYTHING. THE TOUCH SCREEN IS EVERYTHING VOLUME, HVAC, BLUETOOTH, 'SUPPOSED TO WORK WITH REMOTE START. I HAVE HAD MY CODES CHECKED; CYLINDER 1 MODULE MISFIRE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH AND MY VEHICLE BEING STUCK UNABLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT SIMPLY WOULD NOT START(ACTED LIKE IT WOULD BUT WOULD NOT.) FOR THE ENTIRE WINTER OF 2018. COME SUMMER OF 2019 THE AIR WAS STILL HORRIBLEBUT MY INFANT WAS NOW IN THE VEHICLE. SEEING A POOR NEWBORN HAVE SWEAT ROLLING OFF HIS FACE ON A WAY TO A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT PROBABLY IS WHAT DONE ME IN THE MOST. THIS VEHICLE HAS SOME COOL UCONNECT BELLS AND WHISTLES BUT IT IS LIKE THEY ATTEMPTED TO PUT SOMETHING IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT CAPABLE OF HANDLING ALL THE ADVANCEMENTS. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES.I'VE REPLACED PARTS WITHIN THE HVAC TWICE! NOW MY ODOMETER IS BLINKING; RED FLAG.I AM SERIOUSLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. IT SITS FOR MOST OF THE TIME.IN THE LASR 2 YEARS I'VE MAYBE DRIVEN IT A TOTAL OF 5,000 IF THAT! I HAVE MY CAR ALMOST COMPLETELY PAID OFF AND HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN ABLE TO PUT OVER 31,000 MILES ON IT IN 4 FOUR YEARS!HOW ABSURD AND RIDICULOUS! THE DEALERSHIP ALWAYS WANT TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE MENTIONED THE ISSUES EACH TIME I'VE PAID FOR THEM PREVIOUSLY. THEY JUST HAVE 'QUICK FIX' AS THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME FOR THIS. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER GOING TO COLLEGE THAT CANNOT FINANCIALLY AFFORD ALL THIS! THE CAR RANDOMLY AFTER BEING SHUT DOWN WILL NOT RESTART. BEEN STUCK FOR A COUPLE MONTHS NOW IN THE GARAGE.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER 56,000 MILES. PRIOR TRANSMISSION RELATED RECALL WAS PERFORMED. THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT SOMETHING BROKE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION RENDERING IT UNABLE TO SHIFT. BASED ON THE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS IN VARIOUS DODGE DART FORUMS, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, NOT UNIQUE TO MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE IN A PLACE WHERE I COULD PULL OVER AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE.
