2012 DODGE DART Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN). AFTER CONTACTING AUTONATION DODGE (2201 VICTORY DR, COLUMBUS, GA), THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO TO THREE WEEKS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BUSHING BROKE AND THE CAR IS STUCK IN REVERSE AND UNABLE TO DRIVE OR TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE IS IN MY DRIVEWAY. RECALL IS ALREADY ISSUED BUT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO RECEIVE THE LETTER BEFORE 2 DAYS AGO WHEN THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN FEBRUARY!

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE SHIFTER CABLE REPLACE DUE TO A CURRENT RECALL. MY CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK BECAUSE OF THIS, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS FIXED BUT A DAY LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY HAD IT A DAY AND A HALF, THEY FINALLY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT NOW MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTER SOLENOID WAS BAD AND THAT IT WOULD BE $800 TO FIX. I TOOK THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO ANOTHER MECHANIC BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL AND I DIDN'T WANT TO PAY THAT AMOUNT IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO. THE OTHER MECHANIC TOLD ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER HE LOOKED AT IT BECAUSE MORE THAN LIKELY THEY CAUSED THE DAMAGE WHEN THEY WERE REPLACING THE BUSHING. I CALLED AND SPOKE TO THE MANAGER AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE TECH SAID THEY DIDN'T DAMAGE IT AND THAT THE RECALL WAS ALL THEY WERE TOLD TO FIX AND THAT THEY WEREN'T TOLD TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE CAR NOT COMING OUT OF PARK. I HAVE THE PAPER WORK THAT STATES WHY THE CAR WAS THERE AND IT STATES THAT, THAT WAS THE REASON I BROUGHT IT IN. I'VE NEVER HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH A CAR BEFORE. DODGE SHOULD HAVE NEVER SOLD THESE VEHICLES. IN 2015 THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE TRANSMISSION DUE TO A RECALL AND MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY STOPPING WHILE DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2013 AND I TOOK BACK AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY OTHER TIME I GET GAS TELLING ME THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE CAP WHICH THERE ISN'T, I HAD IT CHECKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF REVERSE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CAME TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND MANUALLY SLID THE SHIFTER CABLE ONTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH ENABLED THE CONTACT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT THE BUSHING THAT WAS CONNECTED TO THE SHIFTER CABLE WAS CORRODED AND DETACHED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CONTACTED WEEKS IN BENTON (1627 N MAIN ST, BENTON, IL 62812) TO PURCHASE THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MECHANIC WAS INFORMED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER REFUSED TO ORDER THE PART OR SERVICE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

CV JOINTS MAKING NOISE WHEN TURNING. REPORTED WHEN UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS THE COLD. RADIO AND BLUE TOOTH WENT OUT, MILEAGE AT THE TIME 40,000.

ANY PHONE CONNECTED TO U-CONNECT WILL DISCONNECT WHILE TALKING ON THE CAR STEREO. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHEN I HAVE TO LOOK AT MY PHONE WHILE DRIVING TO TALK ON SPEAKER RATHER THAN THE CAR STEREO. I'VE HAD ENOUGH, AND I WANT I WANT THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

CAR NEEDS SHIFTER CABLE BUSHINGS ON THE TRANSMISSION, WITHOUT THE PROPER BUSHINGS, THE TRANSMISSION MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO BE SHIFTED, EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER MAY SHOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SHIFTED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THE NEW PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE NOR DID ANYONE KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING THOUGH I WAS PROMISED AN UPDATE. MEANWHILE I DRIVE THE CAR WITH GREAT FEAR, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT.

AIRBAG ' I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT A FEW DAYS AGO. WHEN I WAS HIT HEAD ON, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO PUT OUT THERE THAT MY CAR WAS ALSO TOTALED AND WHEN I WAS HIT I WAS GOING 45, AND THE OTHER DRIVER WAS GOING 60. WHICH IS QUITE A HEFTY IMPACT FOR A SMALL CAR BEING HIT BY A LIFTED 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA, AND FOR THE AIRBAGS NOT TO DEPLOY. I AM GOING TO BE SUING DODGE.

CAR PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. START CAR AND GO TO BACK UP. SHIFT TO REVERSE, GEAR DOESN'T CHANGE. CAR DOESN'T MOVE. STILL SAYS IT'S IN PARK. CAR WON'T SHIFT GEARS.
