2013 DODGE DART Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHEN SHIFTING GEARS TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR MANUFACTURER CAMPAIGN NUMBER: V50 (REPROGRAM PCM). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ELMWOOD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 625 TAUNTON AVE, EAST PROVIDENCE, RI 02914, (401) 438-0400), BUT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPROGRAMMED DUE TO THE DATA LINK CONNECTOR FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHEN A PASSENGER GETS IN THE PASENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG AND NO SEATBELT COMES ON BLINKING AND DINGING THE WHOLE TIME I AM DRIVING. TODAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE AND HAD THE CODES READ ADN IT CAME UP WITH THE FOLLOWING P0520 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH CIRCUIT AND CODE U0140 LOST COMMUNICATION WITH BODY CONTROL MODULE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO TURN OFF. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION TO DEACTIVATE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

FASTEN SEAT BELTS LIGHT APPEARS ON DASH AND DINGS. AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO BE LIT. BATTERY REPLACED AND TESTED GOOD...CAR DOESN'T START. RADIO LOSES RECEPTION. KEY FOBIK DOESN'T LOCK, UNLOCK, REMOTE START OR PANIC BUTTON DOESN'T WORK TO CAR (ALWAYS DID BEFORE) CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WENT OFF SEVERAL TIMES

THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT AFTER THE GASKET WAS REPLACED AT THE DODGE DEALER AS A RECALL. IT WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS AND TRIES TO START OUT IN 4TH GEAR. WHEN YOU DO GET IT TO PULL ITSELF THE RPM'S ARE 3.5. THE DEALER SHIPS SAY'S THAT THEY COULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THE ISSUE BUT IT RAN FINE BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION HAD THE RECALL REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION CABLE. THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ONLY IF YOU SET IT AS SOON S YOU START THE CAR, IF YOU DON'T IT WILL NOT ENGAGE OR COME ON. THERE IS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT COMES ON AND EVEN WHEN IT IS ON THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANY TROUBLE CODES. THIS IS GT AND I LOVE THE CAR BUT IT DOES NOT RUN 80% OF THE TIME.

WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR WOULD START TO RANDOMLY GO INTO NEUTRAL WHEN IT GOT UP TO HIGHER RPMS, THE CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT HAD NO POWER AND ONCE IT GOT TO A CERTAIN RPM IT WOULD REV UP AND NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THE CLUTCH WOULD STILL SHIFT INTO GEARS BUT COULD NOT HAVE MUCH POWER AT ALL UNLESS YOU WENT EXTREMELY SLOW AND BUILT UP THE SPEED AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. AFTER THAT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. NO MATTER WHAT GEAR YOU PUT IT INTO, IT REGISTERS THAT IT'S IN NEUTRAL ALL THE TIME. THE SHIFTER PHYSICALLY SHIFTS INTO A GEAR, BUT EVEN AFTER TAKING MY FOOT OFF OF THE CLUTCH IN A GEAR IT WON'T STALL OUT, AND WON'T MOVE AT ALL IN ANY GEAR OR REVERSE. IT SMELLED BURNT LIKE THE CLUTCH WAS BURNT OUT OF IT. MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CAR STOPPED REGISTERING GEARS, AND WAS ON A HILL AT THE TIME. LUCKILY SHE HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET UP THE HILL AND PULL OVER BEFORE SHE STARTED COASTING BACK DOWN AND INJURED HER. THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL UNLESS TOWED. THE CAR HAS LOW MILES AND WE'VE ONLY OWNED IT FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. WE READ UP ON WHETHER THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND CALLED A LOCAL SHOP ABOUT RECALLS, TO WHICH THEY SAID THE PREVIOUS OWNERS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE CLUTCH HAD A RECALL THAT HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED BUT WAS EXPIRED.

I CONTINUE TO HAVE A SERVICE AIRBAG ERROR ON MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE REPORTED TO IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO ASSIST UNLESS A FEE FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND A FEE TO FIX THE ISSUE WHEN IT'S CLEARLY A SAFETY MATTER. TODAY I HAD A REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO A RECALL (V34) TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTING OF MY GEARS. I RESEARCHED RECALLS ON 2013 DODGE DARTS AND SAW RECALLS REPORTED REGARDING THE POWERTRAIN AS WELL AS AIRBAGS. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE A RESPONSE ASAP. THANK YOU AND ENJOY YOUR DAY.

SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM MESSAGE DISPLAYS WHEN YOU START THE CAR AND DRIVE IT IT DOES NOT GO OFF

THE 2013 DODGE DART HAS A RECALL SINCE APRIL 2019. THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING ON THE TRANSMISSION END OF THE SHIFTER CABLE WHICH CAN DETERIORATE AND BECOME DETACHED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN THE INABILITY OF THE DRIVER TO ACTUALLY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION, EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER MAY MOVE THE SHIFTER HANDLE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON EVERY FEW MONTHS. VEHICLE IS TRYING TO GO INTO PARK BUT THE SHIFT GETS STUCK. I HAVE BEEN CALLING THE CHRYSLER DODGE DEALER SINCE APRIL 2019 BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL.
