DRIVING TO WORK ON INTERSTATE 696 DRIVING THROUGH ROYAL OAK WEST BOUND, THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF, AND SHOWS ON THE DASH ENGINE TROUBLE AND ELECTRIC SYMBOL AS WELL, LUCKY I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO GET OVER, BUT IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I GOT THE CAR , DEALER STATES THEY FIXED IT 3 TIMES STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I HAVE ALL THE PAPERS WORK SINCE IT STARTED AT 5000 MILES.

EMERGENCY BRAKES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. CAN STILL DIVE IT WHEN EMERGENCY BRAKES ARE APPLIED AS IF THEY'RE NOT EVEN ON..

CAR SUDDENLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL , WHILE IN PARKING LOT GOING 10 MPH. , SHIFTER COULD NOT MOVE IT , KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION KEY FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AND WAS STUCK IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,400.

OUR 2015 DODGE DART HAS ONLY 18,700 MILES ON IT AND TWICE IN THE LAST 10 MONTHS WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IN ORDER TO SHIFT GEARS AND THE PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2017, THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED AT NO COST TO US. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN ON APRIL 28, 2018, SAME SCENARIO - DRIVING ON FREEWAY, TRIED TO SHIFT - AND WE ARE TOLD THE CLUTCH KIT AND THROW OUT BEARING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND DODGE IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR IT, SAYING IT IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AND BECAUSE IT IS DIFFERENT PARTS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OF WORK IN AUGUST 2017. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES AND EVEN A COUPLE OF LAWSUITS. EVEN IF REPAIRED AGAIN, I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR OUTSIDE OF CITY STREETS. DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE NOR DO THEY SAY THAT MY CAR IS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH THAT THEY ISSUED IN 2016.

THERE SEEMS TO BE ISSUE WITH DODGE, CHRYSLER VEHICLES WHERE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH MY DAD CHRYSLER 300, MY MOM DODGE DURANGO AND NOW MY DODGE DART AND IT APPEARS IT IS THE ALTERNATOR KILLING THE BATTERY. IT IS DANGEROUS TO PUT MY CAR ON THE ROAD AS IT CAN SHUT OFF ANY GIVEN TIME AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE.

JUST NOTICED THAT THE YOKOHAMA 225/40 R18 AVID S34 TIRES ON MY 2015 DODGE DART HAVE SPLIT SIDE WALLS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000 MILES. I HAD THE CAR IN THREE TIMES FOR THE TIRES LOOSING AIR. I'VE READ THAT YOKOHAMA HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS ON THIS MODEL TIRE FOR YEARS WITH MANY DIFFERENT SIZES BUT HAVE ONLY RECALLED ONE SIZE. I'M TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER 05-02.

I HAD JUST CAME HOME AND RAN INTO MY HOUSE TO GRAB SOMETHING AND IMMEDIATELY RETURNED BACK TO THE CAR AND WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE THE LIGHT ON THE GEAR SHIFT FOR NEUTRAL LIT UP. THE CAR IS NOW STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION DUE TO IT BEING IN NEUTRAL. WE HAVE CALLED SEVERAL NUMBERS FOR DODGE AND THEY ARE TELLING US THAT THE CAR IS NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE THE VIN IS NOT SHOWING UP WITH A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE SIGHT SHOWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT ISSUE FOR 2011 - 2015 DODGE DARTS. WE NEED ASSISTANCE WITH THIS BECAUSE IF THEY KNOW THESE CARS HAVE THIS ISSUE THERE IS NO WAY THEY SHOULD BE TELLING US THAT THIS CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. PLEASE HELP.
