POWER TRAIN:SHIFT LINKAGE/CABLE/ROD
The following recall has been open for over a year with no fix. We have had so many issues with this car that we had to park it permanently until the recall could be completed. Safety Defect/Non Compliance Description and Safety Risk Some 2013-2016MY Dodge Dart vehicles may experience a transmission shift cable failure. A failure of the shift cable to maintain connection to the transmission can cause an unexpected and unrecoverable Loss of PARK (LoP) function and/or a vehicle movement in an unintended direction. A LoP function and/or vehicle movement in an unintended direction can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning and/or injury to others outside the vehicle. Repair Description FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected vehicles to replace the shifter cable assembly and add a dust cap to the transmission connection. Recall Status Incomplete but repair parts are not available

I am writing concerned with the length of time it is taking to get recall parts sent. I have been checking with dealership and was told I'm on waiting lists, the parts wouldn't be in until the beginning of year 2026, and now they just don't know when the parts will be available. If this is a SAFETY recall, why is it taking so long to remedy?

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
The vehicle has experienced recurring engine drivability and electrical problems since 2019, including persistent rough idle, intermittent loss of power under load, repeated no-start conditions, check-engine light illumination, and electrical system malfunctions. In June 2019, an authorized FCA dealership diagnosed DTC P0304 (cylinder 4 misfire), identified an ignition-coil boot electrical short, and replaced all four ignition-coil boots under the manufacturer’s 15-year/150,000-mile PZEV emissions warranty. The rough-idle condition never fully resolved. In January 2024, another authorized dealership replaced all four spark plugs and one ignition coil and performed PCM-related recall/service work. On August 13, 2026, the vehicle was presented to an authorized dealership with electrical and drivability complaints. The dealer replaced the battery, cleared all diagnostic trouble codes, and documented that repairs were verified. Three days later, the vehicle again failed to start, the check-engine light illuminated, and an independent scan returned U0401 (Invalid Data Received From ECM/PCM A). The vehicle was returned to the dealership on August 22, 2026. The dealer subsequently diagnosed P0118 and replaced the engine coolant temperature sensor under the emissions warranty. However, the persistent rough idle and other reported drivability concerns were not resolved. The dealer represented that BCM, PCM, wiring, power, ground, and communication testing had been performed, but the repair documentation provided does not contain the corresponding test results. Management ultimately declined further diagnostic work. The recurring loss of power under load creates a potential traffic safety hazard. Intermittent no-start conditions also affect vehicle reliability. The vehicle remains available for inspection. The precise underlying cause remains undetermined.

My vehicle has been held indefinitely for 1 full year now because the manufacturer launched a safety recall on the transmission bushing cable for a second time since the 2019 recall without a viable engineering solution this time. I've been doing what I can without my vehicle for a whole year now but now I'm getting more anxiety on having reliable transportation.

The open recall is for the SHIFT CABLE and on [XXX] the cable broke when I pulled into my garage, and did not allow me to get the vehicle into PARK. I used the Emergency Brake to keep the vehicle from rolling, but since it could not go into PARK, I could not turn the vehicle all the way off, either. I had to unhook the battery to get it to turn off. The recall has been open for almost one year, since October 16, 2025 and they still say there is "No remedy available" for it. That is ridiculous. Do they expect people to just not be able to drive their vehicle?!? Timeline - Monday, [XXX] - Shifter Cable Broke; Called Recall line (Stellantis) at 1-800-853-1403 to confirm recall and they told me to call Dodge Dealership to schedule; Dodge Dealership said it would take 2 weeks just to get part; called recall line back and asked if I can take it to any mechanic to fix, to which they said yes and get all applicable paperwork to submit for reimbursement; they NEVER said it would not be paid until a remedy is available - Wednesday,[XXX] - Towed to mechanic, they began work and finished on [XXX] - Thursday, [XXX] - Uploaded required documentation to recall website for reimbursement; received email back that day saying: "We've understand that you're requesting reimbursement for the repairs made to the vehicle related to recall A0C. However, upon checking we've noticed that the recall is not yet updated, and no available remedy posted. For the meantime the case will be closed. But, don't worry Stellantis will notify affected customers and advise when they may schedule service and for recall remedy." No matter how many people I talk to or how many times I submit for reimbursement, now, they either say "No remedy available" or deny the claim.

"URGENT COMPLIANCE ESCALATION FOR NHTSA ID: 11766087. My VIN lookup on Oct 09, 2026, explicitly shows Campaign 25V-674 is 'Incomplete, remedy not yet available.' However, a Chrysler corporate supervisor falsely informed me that my repair was frozen and sent to their 'legal department' because I filed a state consumer complaint. Chrysler is actively misleading consumers and weaponizing internal 'legal reviews' to mask their failure to provide a federally mandated safety recall remedy for a severe rollaway hazard on a vehicle that belonged to my late son who passed away in 2023. I demand federal enforcement step in."

I was previously notified of safety recall for the transmission shift cable failure (Manufacturer Recall Number A0C; NHTSA Recall Number 25V-674) that was announced on Oct 09, 2025. It's been nearly 1 year and there still isn't a remedy available (Today's date 9/28/26) "Recall Status: Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available." My car has not experienced this failure yet, but the prolonged waiting for a remedy is making me nervous. It seems like 1 year is a reasonable time to wait before becoming frustrated about the lack of a remedy.

Vehicle is completely immobilized due to an unaddressed manufacturer safety recall (Recall A0C / Shift Cable Bushing). The manufacturer (FCA US LLC / Stellantis) states that official recall remedy parts remain unreleased and unavailable. The manufacturer refuses to provide direct corporate-billed interim transportation or corporate towing to an authorized dealership, insisting on out-of-pocket payment and reimbursement schemes. When challenged on zero-cost recall remedy mandates under 49 U.S.C. § 30120, corporate management executed a forced call termination.
