2012 DODGE DART Complaints

WHEN IT IS HOT OUT AND I FIRST GET IN VEHICLE AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT, WHEN I STEP ON CLUTCH PEDAL IT FALLS TO THE FLOOR MAKING ME HAVE TO LIFT IT UP WITH MY TOE. TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THEY SAID NOTHING IT WRONG WITH IT. NOW I CAN NOT PARK THE CAR IN GEAR BECAUSE IT WILL NOT COME OUT OF GEAR WHEN I START IT AND THE CLUTCH SINKS TO THE FLOOR

MY SHIFTER CABLE BROKE AND I'VE SEEN THIS IS A ON GOING ISSUE WITH 2013 DODGE DART AND IT NOT COVERED OR NOT IS THERE A RECALL THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED

THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 OR 7 TIMES. I START MY DART AND IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. IT THE CLUTCH WILL BE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT STILL WILL NOT SHIFT. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING. IT SCARED ME I WAS GLAD I WAS NOT ON A BUSY STREET OR GOING REALLY FAST. IT IS ALSO STALLING WHEN I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO MAKE IT STALL. IT WILL BE RUNNING AND THEN NOTHING. IT HAS BEEN SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I DRIVE FOR WORK AND WITH OUT MY CAR I CAN NOT EARN A LIVING. SO I HAVE MADE IT WORK. I AM GETTING WORRIED THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR.

I HAVE TAKEN IT MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE MADE MULTIPLE REPAIRS, INCLUDING RECALLS AND A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. STILL THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND THE COMPANY DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE THAT MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP.
