2013 DODGE DART Complaints

I WAS DRIVING TO GET MY SON PULLED INTO PARKING SPOT PUT CAR IN PARK WELL I THOUGHT IT WAS I START TO GET OUT AND CAR KEEPS GOING EVEN AFTER KEY WAS TURNED OFF. MY CAR IS WAS STUCK IN DRIVE POSITION THE SHIFTER CABLE CAME COMPLETELY OFF! IT HAPPENED THREE-FOUR MORE TIMES AFTER I GOT THE PIECE BACK ON. WHICH ONE TIME WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULDN'T HAVE BEEN BAD. ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS DRIVING WITH A CHILD ONE OUT OF FOUR OF THE TIMES

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AT TIMES WILL SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, THE CAR SAYS SERVICE TRANSMISSION, SERVICE SHIFTER, AUTOSTICK UNAVAILABLE, GEAR NOT AVAILABLE AND PUT CAR IN REVERSE AND TRY ANOTHER GEAR AND A LOT OF LIGHTS SHOW UP ON THE DASH. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON FRIDAY 12/20/19 I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT AND THE CAR BEGAN TO BEEP AND STATING SERVICE TRANSMISSION ETC. AS STATED BEFORE, I THEN HAD SOME PEOPLE PUSH ME OFF THE ROAD SINCE THE CAR WILL JUST GO INTO NEUTRAL NO MATTER WHAT GEAR IT IS IN. AFTER THE CAR BEING LEFT THERE UNTIL SUNDAY 12/22/19 IT WOULD STILL NOT WORK, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOME. AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN, I WENT AROUND THE BLOCK AND ONCE GOING 40 MPH THE CAR STARTED BEEPING AND WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND SAYING ALL THE THINGS SAID BEFORE, I WAS PUSHED BACK HOME. THIS MORNING I TRIED IT AGAIN AND AS SOON AS I TURN IT ON IT STATES THE SAME SERVICE TRANSMISSION ETC. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TOWED 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS

IN MOTION: LOSS OF POWER - FOUND OIL IN SPARK PLUG WELLS; DEALERSHIP REPLACED WELL SEALS, PLUGS AND IGNITION COIL, CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS; COMPRESSION TEST WAS DONE AND FOUND ALL OF MY ENGINE O RINGS WERE BAD WHICH WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AT TIME OF MANUFACTURING. HAD ENGINE REPLACED AT 100,000 MILES IN MOTION: BRAKES - BRAKE PEDAL WILL SUDDENLY GO ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR AND CAUSE DIFFICULTY BREAKING IN TIME. HAPPENS SPORADICALLY; NO NONE CAUSE STATIONARY: ELECTRICAL - CAR WILL UNLOCK TRUNK INSTEAD OF DOORS; FAN KNOB WILL EFFECT RADIO VOLUME; BLUETOOTH DOES NOT CONNECT; HAPPENS SPORADICALLY; NO NONE CAUSE

I HAVE A RECALL FOR MY TRANSMISSION BUSHING AND I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS TO TRY TO GET IT FIXED BUT THEY ALL SAY THEY DONT HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE! I HAVE TO MANUALLY PUT THE TRANSMISSION CABLE ON THE ARM TO BE ABLE TO SWITCH GEARS, THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT IS NOT IN ANY HURRY TO BE FIXED. I STRONGLY DEMAND THIS ISSUE GETTING RESOLVED IN A MORE TIMLEY MANNOR AS MY INSPECTION NEEDS TO BE PASSED AND IT IS UNABLE TO BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. SEATBELTS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHEN SEATBELTS ARE WORN AND OFF WHEN THE ARNT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY AND HAVE NOT SHUT OFF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE TURN SIGNAL WAS ACTIVATED. IN ADDITION, THE SPRAYERS FOR THE WIPER FLUID DID NOT WORK, WHICH AFFECTED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST UNTIL THE MULTI FUNCTION CONTROL SWITCH WAS SHIPPED AND NO LONGER ON BACKORDER. THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMED TO NOT BE AWARE OF THE FAILURE EVEN THOUGH THE CONTACT FOUND A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT IT ONLINE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,500.

2013 DODGE DART WHEN PLACED IN TO PARK WITH FLOOR GEAR SHIFTER WILL NOT RELEASE THE KEY FOB TO ALLOW IT TO BE REMOVED. THE KEY CANNOT TURN PAST THE AUX POSITION & CANNOT BE REMOVED EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS IN PARK. THE HAS BEEN SERVICED 3 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NEVER BEEN COMPLETELY FIXED. WITHIN WEEKS IT DOES IT AGAIN. DEALERS HAVE NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS PROBLEM.WHEN JAMMING THE SHIFTER FOR 1-5 MINUTES IT USUALLY RELEASES THE KEY.

HEADING TO WORK IN THE MORNING ON THE HIGHWAY WAS ABOUT TO MERGE ON THE OFF RAMP SLOWED FOR TRAFFIC DOWNSHIFTED CAR WAS HUMMING JUST FINE WENT TO UP UP SHIFT CAR MADE WEIRD NOISE DOWNSHIFTED AND HUMMED AGAIN UP SHIFTED MADE WEIRD NOISE AGAIN. I THEN WENT TO DOWNSHIFT AND THE WEIRD NOISE WAS THERE CEL CAM ON THEN STARTED BLINKING AD CAR STALLED OUT. HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP SPENT 5+ HRS THERE JUST TO TELL ME MY MOTOR WAS DEAD. TIMING BELT WAS IN TACK CAR HAD 120000 MILE ON IT. OIL CHANGE WERE DOWN REG. AND CAR WAS SERVICED WHEN NEEDED. 1.4L TURBO 400 FOR THE SHOP TO TELL ME THE MOTOR WAS DEAD 4000 FOR A NEW USED MOTOR

I GOT IN MY PARKED CAR, STARTED IT UP AND TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE BUT THERE WAS NO TENSION WHEN I LIFTED THE LEVER ON THE SHIFTER. THE LEVER MOVED UP AND DOWN AND I COULD SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR EXCEPT REVERSE. LIFTED SHIFTER BOOT AND FOUND THE REVERSE LOCKOUT CABLE WAS SNAPPED. A MONTH OR SO AFTER, I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE AND IT WAS SNOWING. THE ROADS WERE SLICK AND AS I GOT CLOSER TO THE STOP SIGN AT THE END OF MY STREET HERE IN TOWN, MY CAR WAS SLIDING. TRIED TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET SOME TRACTION SO I COULD STOP BUT, JUST LIKE THE REVERSE LOCKOUT CABLE LEVER, AS I LIFTED THE BRAKE THERE WASN'T ANY TENSION AND THE LEVER MOVED UP AND DOWN FREELY. LUCKILY THERE WEREN'T ANY ONCOMING CARS IN THE INTERSECTION AS I SLID THROUGH. IN BOTH CASES THERE WASN'T A REASON FOR THESE PARTS TO SUDDENLY STOP WORKING. NEITHER WERE USED FORCEFULLY, MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND I HAVE 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 100K MILES AND NEITHER WERE USED EXCESSIVELY. BASICALLY, THE REASON BOTH OF THE PARTS JUST STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY IS UNKNOWN. I SEARCHED ONLINE FOR A REPLACEMENT REVERSE LOCKOUT CABLE, I FOUND THAT THE WHOLE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED AS THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN THE LENGTH TO CORRECT A DEFECT WITH THE LOCKOUT CABLE (? YET NO RECALL?) NOW I CAN'T EVEN FIND A REPLACEMENT PART. I CONTACTED MOPAR TO ASK IF ANY OTHER DARTS HAD RECALLS RELATED TO MY ISSUES BUT I WAS TOLD MY PARTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN TESTED AND CLEARED BY THE NHTSA AND THERE WAS NOTHING MORE TO DO. REGARDLESS, I FEEL REVERSE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ARE BOTH CRITICAL AND COULD EASILY POSE SUBSTANTIAL RISK IF DEFECTIVE.
