2012 DODGE DART Complaints

CAR IS GIVING CODE B0052-13 AND IS TURNING OFF AIR BAG AND SHOWING SRS CODE WITH SEATBELT OFF CODE FOR PASSENGER AIR BAG. SEATBELT IS FAULTY AND NOT COVERED UNDER ANY FACTORY WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS IF MY CAR IS IN AN ACCIDENT MY PASSENGER WILL NOT BE PROTECTED AND COULD CAUSE BODILY INJURIES.

I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. MY CLUTCH SEEMED SOFT WHEN I DOWNSHIFTED AS TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING FROM 65 MPH. THE NEXT TIME I SHIFTED THE CLUTCH WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS DISENGAGED. I COULDN'T SHIFT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND WAIT FOR A TOW.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A RECALL AND AS OF MAY 13TH I'M STILL WITHOUT MY VEHICLE AND STILL HAVING TO MAKE THE PAYMENT PLUS INSURANCE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN I WILL GET MY CAR BUT IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ENOUGH TIMES I FILED FOR A BREECH OF WARRANTY BUT CHRYSLER ONLY OFFERED ME 4000 TAKE AWAY THE 2000 FOR ATTORNEY FEES SO 2000 IS WHAT I WOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY WITH. I DID NOT ACCEPT THE OFFER AND NOW I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE A REMEDY FOR THE ISSUE BUT IT'S HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE DAY 1 HAD NEW ENGINE NEW TURBO NEW STARTER NEW GASKETS NEW RADIATOR AND MUCH MORE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN BECAUSE OF NEGLECT. I TRULY FEEL I HAVE A LEMON ON MY HANDS AND NEED HELP GETTING INTO A SAFE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT TOLD ME TO GET A LAWYER SO I DID BUT UNLESS WE AGREED ON AN AMOUNT THEY WOULDN'T PROCEED. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I'M TRYING TO GET A LAWYER THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS OR HELP ME GET A SAFER CAR FOR ME AND MY KIDS.*DT CONSUMER STATED PCM/TCM HAS BEEN A RECALL IN THE PAST ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON IS CODE P2096 WHICH CAUSED LEAK IN ONE OF THE HOSES.*JB *JS

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN DRIVING. RANDOMLY STALLS EVEN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BREAK. CAN INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CAR ACCIDENT OCCURRING. MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO GO FASTER BECAUSE THEN CAR STALLS A LOT AND CAUSES BREAK LIGHT TO FLASH ON AND OFF. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS ON DRIVE ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES THE CAR CAN FEEL JITTERY WHEN BEING ON PARK.

MY CAR RANDOMLY WILL NOT START THINKING THAT IT IS NOT IN PARK. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE DIAGNOSTIC ELECTRONICS TO GO HAYWIRE. I'M TOLD THERE IS A BUSHING THAT WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT DODGE REFUSES TO PROVIDE THIS PART TO MY LOCAL DEALER. THE BUSHING IS DESIGNED TO CAUSE THE CAR TO KNOW IT IS IN PARK SO IT WILL START. I'M ALSO TOLD THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE, BUT I RECEIVED NO RECALL NOTICE FROM DODGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT CUMMINS CHRYSLER (LOCATED AT 4901 E MAIN ST, WEATHERFORD, OK 73096, (580) 772-5086) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,208. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.*DT*DT CONSUMER STATED I JUST HEARD FROM THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT MY CAR THE PART THAT WAS ORDERED CAME IN MAIL AND WAS ALREADY BROKE AND THE PART THAT THE PREVIOUS DEALERSHIP HAD PUT IN WAS ALSO BROKE AS WELL. SO I'M NOT SURE IF THIS PART THAT IS FOR THE TRANSMISSION IS JUST THAT FRAGILE THAT IT CANT EVEN MAKE IT THROUGH THE SHIPPING PROCESS BUT I WANTED TO MAKE AWARE THAT THE PART MUST HAVE SOME KIND OF DEFECT FOR IT BEING THE 3RD ONE AND THIS LAST ONE WAS NEVER EVEN PUT ON MY CAR AS IT CAME IN THE MAIL ALREADY BROKE.*JB CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES AT LEAST 16 TIMES. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AND SHIFTING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. I WAS STUCK IN GEAR. 2 WEEKS PRIOR MY PARKING BREAK WOULD NOT ENGAGE, AS THE BREAK CALIPER WAS STUCK OPEN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK AND DRIVE IN REVERSE, THE GEAR SHIFT FAILED TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED OFF, BUT THE REVERSE LIGHTS WERE STILL ILLUMINATED, INCLUDING ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION CABLE WAS DISCONNECTED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTO GRUPO CHRYSLER (1102 CALLE JUAN PEA REYES, SAN JUAN, PR 00924) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE HYDRAULIC SHIFT ACTUATOR WILL FAIL - OFTENTIMES/SEEMINGLY IN THE HEAT & SUN AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO A. IF IT IS NOT DRIVING, YOU WILL GET THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION ERROR" AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN ON; B. IF YOU ARE DRIVING, SHIFTING BECOMES DANGEROUS AND ERRATIC. NOTE: THIS ISN'T COVERED UNDER YOUR WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAS LIKELY EXPIRED. IF YOU HAVE A THIRD PARTY WARRANTY, YOU WILL NEED TO "PROVE THE FAILURE". WITH THAT BEING SAID, THIS APPEARS TO HAPPEN TOWARDS THE AFTERNOON/EVENING IN MY CASE (WHEN IT'S THE HOTTEST AND HAS SAT IN THE SUN ALL DAY). IT HAS SHIFTED ERRATICALLY ON ME MULTIPLE OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS - I AM HIGHLY SUSPECT THAT THIS PART MAY BECOME A FUTURE RECALL PART. MY VEHICLE IS UNDER 47,000 MILES, SO THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. CONSIDERING OTHER TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, I WOULD BE AWARE. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS FOR ME (I HAVE A CLEAN MVR). THE ERRATIC SHIFTING WILL HAPPEN AT ALL SPEEDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN) SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
