2012 DODGE DART Complaints

IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS, MY POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING 5 TIMES. AT FIRST I COULD PULL OVER TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT COMES BACK ON. THE LAST TIME WAS 2 DAYS AGO AND NOW POWER STEERING WILL NOT COME BACK ON AT ALL. THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO WARNING LIGHTS ON INDICATING THE PROBLEM AND I COULD NOT PULL ANY ERROR CODES WITH MY SCANNER. EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING AROUND 65-75 MPH.

DODGE DART 2013 ON AUGUST 2015 AFTER THE FIRST FLOOD IN CLARENDON COUNTY BY THE CLARENDON LANDFIELD THERE WAS A DEEP HOLD IN THE PAVEMENT THAT WASN'T NOTABLE BECAUSE IT WAS AFTER 8:30 PM VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE FRONT TIRES STRUTS OR SHOCKS, BEEN MAKING A SOUND WHENEVER TURNING THE TIRES EVERY SINCE THAT INCIDENT TOOK PLACE. I'VE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO CONTACT THE COUNTY BUT GOT NO RESPONSE. I WAS ALWAYS PUT ON HOLD FOR AN HOUR OR MORE SO I JUST STOP TRYING. I WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT ON A HIGHWAY NEAR THE CLARENDON COUNTY LANDFIELD. ON 9/07/2013 MY CAR GEAR SHIFT LINKAGE CAME APART WITH NO WARNING ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE WITH THE LINK BEING BROKEN I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR CAN'T SHIFT TO ANY OTHER GEAR.

IT WAS SEPTEMBER 23RD AROUND 11PM, I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, UPON TURNING INTO THE EXIT LANE MY CAR HIT SOME FORM OF POTHOLE WHICH MADE MY TOUCH SCREEN AND DASHBOARD TURN OFF AND BACK ON. I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH MY TOUCH SCREEN SHUTTING OFF AND BACK ON IN THE PAST, ONCE I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY IT WORKED FINE UNTIL THAT DAY, THEN IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN SO BEFORE ALL OF THIS I DID SET UP A CAR APPOINTMENT FOR IT TO GET CHECKED OUT 2 DAYS EARLIER. SO ANYWAY, AS I'M DRIVING, I ARRIVE TO MY DESTINATION. I SAT IN THE CAR FOR A WHILE ON MY PHONE AND DECIDED TO TURN ON MY AIR. WHEN THE AIR CAME OUT IT SMELLED VERY SMOKEY. SO I TURNED IT OFF AND ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER, A VERY LIGHT MIST BEGAN TO COME OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE HOOD. SO I DECIDED TO JUST HEAD HOME INSTEAD BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO BE STUCK SOMEWHERE AND I NOT HAVE A RIDE HOME, MY HOUSE WASN'T THAT FAR FROM MY LOCATION. SO THE FURTHER I'M DRIVING I NOTICED THE SMOKE BEGAN TO PICK UP A BIT SO I CUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I'M ABOUT 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AT THE POINT. SO I'M DRIVING DOWN THE RAMP TO MERGE INTO THE HIGHWAY AND THE SMOKE GOT SO THICK TO WHERE I COULD NO LONGER SEE SO I'M PUSHING DOWN THE BREAKS TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AND FIND MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT THEN MY CAR LOCKS UP AND SHUTS DOWN. I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL, GAS OR BREAK OR ANYTHING. WHEN I COULD GLIMPSE THROUGH THE SMOKE I NOTICED A FIRE WAS COMING FROM MY HOOD, SO INTO MOVING TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR I HOPPED OUT OF MY CAR AND IT ROLLED A LITTLE OVER 100 FEET TO ALMOST THE YELLOW LINE (IT WAS STILL BLOCKING ONE LANE). WITNESSES CALLED THE COPS AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT THE FLAMES OUT.I REACHED OUT TO MY CAR COMPANY AND THEY SAID SINCE MY CAR WASN'T INSURED, THAT BASICALLY I'M OUT OF LUCK. I HAVE SCRATCHES AND SCARS STILL FROM THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO ## VIN PASSED ## DODGE DART 2013 ##

WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC WITH MY FAMILY THE CAR SUDDENLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND WILL NOT COME OUT OF NEUTRAL I READ ON THE INTERNET THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND IT EXPLAINS WITH THE EXPLANATION GIVEN FOR THE PROBLEM THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR BUT WHEN I CALLED DODGE/CHRYSLER MY VIN WAS NOT ON THE RECALL BUT I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER I WAS ONLY 20 YARDS FROM THE RAILROAD TRACKS LUCKILY ONE WAS ALREADY GOING BY OR THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE TRACKS ANY HELP WITH THIS SITUATION WOULD BE HELPFUL THANKS

2013 DODGE DART. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE CLUTCH SYSTEM. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE CLUTCH STUCK TO THE FLOOR. ALSO, THE TURBO CHARGER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AN O-RING MELTED WHICH CAUSED OIL TO LEAK ONTO ALL OF THE SPARK PLUG TUBES AND DESTROYED THE OIL SEPARATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED. UPDATED 09/25/2017*JS

BEFORE MOVING FROM NEW MEXICO TO MINNESOTA WE HAD OUR 2013 DODGE DART'S OIL CHANGE AND CAR CHECKED OVER BY A DODGE AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING ON SD HWY 212 UP A HILL SHIFTING DOWN TO 5TH THE CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. SO I FORCED IT INTO 5TH BEFORE IT ROLLED DOWN A SHARP HILL. (PLEASE NOTE DODGE SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS). DODGE CLAIM THAT CLUTCHES JUST GO OUT LIKE THIS WITH OUT ANY WARNING AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I HAVE OWNED MANY MANUAL CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY CLUTCHES WEAR OUT. MY CAR ONLY HAD $40,000 MILES. I LEFT THE CAR BEHIND IN NORTH DAKOTA BECAUSE WE WERE MOVING TO MINNESOTA. THEY INFORMED US IT WOULD BE OVER A WEEK TO FIX. I WILL HAVE TO DRIVE BACK OVER 6HOURS (12 HOURS TOTAL TRIP) AND PAY FOR A NEW CLUTCH THAT IS PROBABLY JUST AS BAD. I THINK THAT THE CLUTCH GOING OUT WITH OUT WARNING IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR FAILED TO SHIFT FROM THE DRIVE TO THE PARK WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION FAILED TO BE REMOVED.

THE CONTACT COULD NOT CHANGE THE GEAR, THE CONTACT TRIED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE.
