2013 DODGE DART Complaints

The vehicle history does not show any type of accidents. The vehicle history says that the vehicles airbags are in tact. In reviewing my contract from the dealership there is a page that states the vehicle has no airbags.The airbags not being present means the have been deployed due to a collision, right? Im concerned that the vehicle is not the vehicle aligned with the vin. Visually inspecting the physical vin sticker it has rips and is torn is some places. The odometer is always blinking. I am concerned that it may have been altered. Took it in for a alignment at a shop, but the shop said the could not complete the alignment.

I purchased a 2013 Dodge dart aero from best buy auto in NY and only had the car for yr and half. I have waited over a month for ASC warranty company to cover it & they refuse to after I bought extended drivetrain warranty. The check engine light came on and was told it was a transmission issue till the Dodge dealership told me that it's not covered saying the part needed is supposedly not a part in transmission but mechanics seam to think it should be ,the part is called a hydro shift actuator ,the car has a dual clutch , I've seen this recalled in cars but cannot seam find if this is a failed recall part and still have not got a clue why a part like this would be almost 6 grand to fix on a car valued at roughly 3 grand ,I still owe 9;on it. Why this part is not covered under warranty?

Hello. My complaint is on the motor mounts, the OEM factory/manufacturer ones that car dealers service/replace. Long story short, in 1 year and 3 months’ timeframe, my motor mounts have been replaced not once, nor twice, but THREE times. It runs the risks of damaging my motor/engine internally and is a safety hazard on the road. The first replacement (August 2023) was due to broken motor mounts and about 4-5 mounts got replaced. Eight months later (April 2024), the second incident was due to ‘faulty OEM parts’ quoted by my car dealer who services my vehicle. They replaced 2-3 mounts. This third incident (October-November 2024) is on a six-month old install, still oem parts. I had the left motor mount replaced after my engine started to sound like it was about to fall apart; hence, the safety risk of an engine failing, falling apart, or falling off/out the vehicle while on the road. After this third replacement, the dodge dealer recommended that I file a recall report because they were concerned about the risks and damage caused by all of the motor mounts my car has seemingly been violated from. When researching if this problem is just my car or not, I came across a dodge forum where MANY dodge dart owners of years 2013-2016 have had these motor mount issues. All have said that this should be a recall, and frankly I agree, because replacing motor mounts every 6-8 months is not only ridiculous, but concerning at the amount of risk. I did the math and in the span of 1.5 years and 12,169 miles, my mounts have been replaced at least three times by Laird Noller Ford AND Briggs Dodge. I attached all documents plus the carfax of one replacement that I couldn’t find the document. There is other parts damaged because of these motor mounts also pictured. When will it stop?

The transmission bushing broke and the transmission was disabled. The steering wheel was locked and the key was unable to be removed. The safety of the driver and passenger were at harm on the highway when steering was disabled and the transmission could not be moved after stopping. The problem was produced and was forced to be repaired by a shop for the safety of the driver at expense of the driver. The vehicle was then brought to a dodge dealership in Margate Florida, where the recall was closed, the issue was not fixed. The vehicle broke down immediately following this closure of the recall. The vehicle was inspected and claimed to be repaired by a Dodge Dealership. This is not true. No warning lamps indicated this issue happening once of the two times it broke down.

Loss of brakes at random times. Pedal will go all the way to the floor before stopping.

The vehicle had a recall for the shift bushing cable for the cable disconnect and getting stuck in gear and that’s what happened my car went in on June 21’2022 to have this recall repaired they finally repaired it a year later it failed we were able to put it back on then it now has failed again on august 20 2024 and I am concerned they said I have to pay them now to fix it so I never had an issue before they supposedly fixed it now I have the actual issue and they are refusing to fix it
