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

AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON STATING AIR BAG MAINTENANCE REQUIRED. BLINKS ON AND OFF LONGS CAR IS STARTED. BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW.

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT IS VERY HESITANT TO GO, THEN IT WILL OVER REV AND THE RPMS WILL GO UP BUT IT WILL NOT GO ANY FASTER. IT WILL ONLY HAPPEN IT SECOND AND THIRD GEAR

START CAR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A MESSAGE SAYS NO GEAR AVAILABLE SHIFT TO NEUTRAL THEN REVERSE OR DRIVE. CAR WON'T GO INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE DEALER IN 2013 AND EVERY SO OFTEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF. WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTEE THE REPLACED THE AIR BAGS AND IT HELPED BUT THE LIGHT GOES ON ALL THE TIME. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. SOME SAY ITS CONNECTED TO AN ISSUE WITH WIRES IN THE A OR B PILLAR. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING SINCE ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTEE.

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS RUN CONSTANTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON. THE WIPERS DO NOT ENGAGE WHILE ON REMOTE START. I WENT INTO THE UNCONNECTED AND TURNED OFF RAIN SENSING MODULE. THE WIPERS CONTINUED TO RUN AT A SLOW SPEED. I USED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LEVER TO TURN OFF THE WIPERS. HOWEVER, MY WIPERS CONTINUED TO RUN NO MATTER WHAT INTERVAL I USED. MY CAR WILL NOT DISPENSE WASHER FLUID WITH THE USE OF THE LEVER. I DID CHECK TO ENSURE WASHER FLUID TANK IS FILLED WITH WASHER FLUID RECOMMENDED FOR MY VEHICLE.

2013 DODGE DART WITH 2 LITER MOTOR AUTO TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WON'T START. ON THE SHIFTER ALL LETTERS ON GEAR INDICATOR SHOWS RED (P,R,N,D) ENGINE LIGHT ON. CAR WILL. IT START IN ANY GEAR. THIS IS THE THIRD SHIFTER ASSEMBLY I HAD TO PURCHASE TO FIX THE PROBLEM . VEHICAL WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT WOULDN'T START , WHEN IT WAS RUNNING THE GEAR INDICATOR LIGHT WENT RED CAR SHIFTED HARD. ALSO WOULDN'T INDICAT WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN ON THE DASH. NOW CAR WON'T START AT ALL.

THIS IS A BREIF SUMMARY. THERE'S MORE DETAILS CONCERNING THIS CAR THAT ROOM HERE DOESN'T PROVIDE. THE DUAL DRY CLUTCH SHIFTING FAILURES AND HILL START ASSIST ARE ADDRESSED HERE: THE CAR DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY MOVE FORWARD WHEN YOU APPLY THE THROTTLE IT CAN TAKE FROM 2-4 SECONDS TO GO FORWARD WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS. NOT 'TURBO LAG'. THAT ADDS TO THE TIME TO GO FORWARD. PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR CHANGING LANES CAN GET YOU KILLED BECAUSE IT DELAYS THROTTLE RESPONSE UNTIL THE COMPUTER DECIDES TO GO. SOMETIMES TURBO, SOMETIMES NOT AT THE SAME THROTTLE POSITION. WHEN COMING OFF THE BRAKES THEN PRESSING THE THROTTLE, DELAY AND SOMETIMES INAPPROPRIATE GEAR SELECTION CAUSES ERRATIC DRIVING BEHAVIOR. IN TURNS THE CAR COMES OUT OF GEAR ON ITS OWN WITH NO INDICATION. STEP ON THE GAS AND THE ENGINE REVS HIGH IN NEUTRAL. NOW IT'S COASTING THROUGH THE TURN BEFORE IT WILL ENGAGE IN [A] GEAR. YOU CAN SELDOM 'DRIVE THROUGH A TURN'. THIS HAPPENS AROUND A NORMAL STREET CORNERS, AND IN SWEEPING TURNS WHEN YOU'RE TRAVELING AT 40 MPH OUT OF GEAR. ENGAGING GEARS AT THIS POINT IS UNPREDICTABLE AS TO WHICH GEAR THE CAR WILL SELECT. THE 'HILL START ASSIST' (HSA) BRAKING PROGRAM; WHEN STOPPED POINTING UPHILL, THIS 'FEATURE' IS INTENDED TO HOLD THE BRAKES ON FOR 3 SECONDS PREVENTING THE CAR FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDDLE TO THE GAS PEDDLE. IF THE HSA FAILS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHEN, OR IF, THE CLUTCH ENGAGES INTO GEAR. THE HSA PROGRAM IN THIS CAR RANDOMLY FAILS TO HOLD ON A HILL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE DDC ALSO FAILS TO ENGAGE IN GEAR. THE CAR TOTALLY FAILS TO MOVE FORWARD AND ROLLS BACKWARDS REVVING IN NEUTRAL TOWARD THE CARS COMING UP BEHIND YOU. YOU HAVE PRESSED THE GAS TO GO FORWARD AND NOW YOU'RE GOING BACKWARD REVVING IN NEUTRAL. I NOW REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. IT WILL SIT UNUSED UNTIL RESOLUTION OF THIS ISSUE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE CRUSHED. *JS

DRIVING A MANUAL.. MY REVERSE CABLE LOCKOUT BROKE, I WENT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AN IT SHOWS UP ON THEIR COMPUTER OF WHAT I NEED. BUT YOU CAN NOT BUY IT. THEY SAY ITS A AFTER MARKET PRODUCT. THEN WHEN I WENT TO ABOUT EVERY AUTO PARTS STORE. THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. AN IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT BASICALLY LOOKS LIKE A BICYCLE BRAKE CABLE REGARDLESS I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR. SO I HAVE A ZIP TIE DOWN WHERE MY SHIFTER IS HOLDING THE LOCK OUT WIDE OPEN. I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO BE IN REVERSE WHEN I NEED TO BE IN 1ST. I NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO GO TO FIX THIS ISSUE OR IF DODGE IS GOING TO FINALLY ADMIT THAT ITS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AS IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. IF AND WHEN I WANT TO SALE MY CAR. HOW IS THIS GONNA BE POSSIBLE. IT LOWERS THE VALUE RIGHT NOW! WHEN THIS HAPPENED IT WAS JUNE 17 2017 AT A GAS STATION IN PA NEEDLESS TO SAY, WHEN I LIVE IN AL. . I WENT TO BACK OUT AN WHEN I LIFTED UP ON THE KNOB. I HAD NOTHING.. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE.
