CLUTCH PEDAL REMAINS DEPRESSED INTERMITTENTLY ON START UP AND WHILE DRIVING. THEIR IS NOT ENOUGH PRESSURE IN THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER FOR ADEQUATE RESISTANCE OR TO RAISE THE PEDAL TO ITS STANDARD POSITION. THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION LOSS SUIT RELATED TO THIS EXACT ISSUE ON 2013-2015 DODGE DARTS BUT MY DEALERSHIP APPEARS BLISSFULLY UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. START CASE# S1406000001 APPEARS TO DIRECTLY CALL OUT THIS ISSUE BUT NONE OF THE PROCEDURES WERE FOLLOWED WHEN INSPECTING MY CAR FOR CLUTCH RELATED ISSUES. THE TECHNICAL RESPONSE WAS "MAYBE YOUR MAT WAS CAUGHT BY THE CLUTCH PEDAL?" SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO FIRST AND THE PEDAL WAS NOT RAISING. AFTER 3-4 ATTEMPTS I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO RAISE HIGH ENOUGH TO DISENGAGE AND ALLOW ME TO SHIFT INTO SECOND, THANKFULLY I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO MY HOME I DIDNT NEED TO GO BEYOND 2ND GEAR BUT FOR THERE TO BE NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM THE DEALERSHIP IS APPALLING.

SERVICE BRAKES
I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR BARELY 4 YEARS AND I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT IN FOR THE BRAKES TO BE FIXED TWICE. THE BRAKES SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND BECAME ROCK SOLID WHEN WHEN I TRIED BRAKING ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I SWERVE AND USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKES. OTHER TIMES, IT WORKED BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PRESS IT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND ONCE IT REACHES A CERTAIN POINT IT HAS A KICK BACK TO IT AND THE CAR DOESN'T STOP SMOOTHLY INSTEAD IT JERKS ABOUT TWICE BEFORE STOPPING. ON THE SECOND INSTANCE, IT HAD A HISSING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AREA. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED WITH AN OEM. SECOND TIME IT HAPPEND (A YR LATER), THE BRAKE BOOSTER,VACUUM HOSE, AND VACUUM PUMP WERE ALL REPLACED BUT IT KEPT HAPPENING. $1,200 IN ON THIS SECOND REPAIRS AND I AM STILL WAITING TO GET THIS FIXED. A FEW DODGE DEALERS HAVE CONFIRMED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE SEDANS IN FACT THE PREVIOUS YEARS(2013 AND 2014) MODELS WERE ALL RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT THE 2015 WAS NOT RECALLED DESPITE IT HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING THE DODGE DART 2015, GOING DOWNHILL AT ABOUT ~40MPH, I WAS BRAKING TO DECREASE SPEED THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL LOST PRESSURE AND WAS UNABLE TO USE THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO SLOW DOWN. DUE TO BEING A MANUAL CAR I WAS ABLE TO DOWNSHIFT TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER AND AVOIDED A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED AND SERVICED AT A REPAIR CENTER THEY ROOT CAUSED THE ISSUE TO A BROKEN VALVE THAT CAUSED A FAILURE IN THE HYDRAULICS SYSTEM. ATTACHED DOCUMENTS SHOW REPORT OF VALVE MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING FAILURE IN VACCUM SYSTEM.VALVE FAILURE CAUSED BRAKE BOOSTER TO BE FILLED WITH OIL CAUSING THAT COMPONENT TO FAIL AS WELL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PRETTY MUCH EVERY RECALL THAT IS ON THE LIST NUMBER ONE IT STARTED WITH MY CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. AND THE CODES THAT KEPT ON COMING UP OR FOR THE PLUGS AND COILS. I WOULD REPLACE THEM AND THEY WOULD JUST GO BAD AGAIN IN LIKE A WEEK IT IS CAUSING MY CAR TO DO WHAT SEEMS LIKE IT'S MISFIRING. MY TIRE LIGHT IS STUCK ON WHEN THE TIRES ARE FINE. THE SPEED CONTROL STOPS WORKING ON AND OFF. WHEN I STEER THERE'S A LOUD CLICKING NOISE. WHENEVER I TRY TO SHIFT HERE LATELY SOMETIMES IT WON'T GO INTO GEAR. WHEN I TURN ON THE AC IT WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO MISFIRE AND THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO TURN OFF THE AC AND RESTART THE CAR SOMETIMES THREE TO FOUR TIMES BEFORE IT STOPS MESSING UP.TODAY THE SCARIEST THING OF ALL HAPPENED I WAS PULLING OUT OF BRONZE AND WHITE SMOKE BILLOWED OUT OF THE CAR TAILPIPES I'M NOT SURE WHY. THE CAR IS ALSO SPORADICALLY NOT GOING IN GEAR WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY MAKING ME WORRY THAT ME AND MY FIVE KIDS ARE IN DANGER DUE TO SOMEONE RAIKKONEN TO ME BECAUSE MY CAR WILL NOT GO UP TO SPEED AND WILL NOT SHIFT INTO THE RIGHT GEAR AND MISFIRES AND WILL NOT GO OVER LIKE 30 MILES PER HOUR AND PUTZ. I REPLACE PARTS AND IT SEEMS TO WORK WELL FOR A WEEK OR TWO BUT MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST THEY SAY THAT EVERY SINGLE THING THAT IS ON THE RECALL LIST IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT ALL OF THIS I HONESTLY YOU JUST THINK THAT DART NEEDS TO TAKE THE CAR BACK.. LIKE RECALL IT COMPLETELY. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE AFTER THE FIRST YEAR OF DRIVING IT. *TR

MY 2015 DODGE DART HAS BEEN OPERATING VERY WELL UNTIL THE LAST FEW WEEKS. RECENTLY I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE ROAD SHIFT THE CAR INTO ANY GEAR ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS WILL GO TO 6000-6500, BUT THE CAR GOES NO WHERE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME EVERY TIME I GET INTO IT AND NOW I DON'T FEEL SAFE. I TOOK IT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS WHICH BOTH OF THEM STATED THIS WAS A DODGE ISSUE; WHERE THERE IS OPEN LAWSUITS AND LEMON LAW ACTS IN PROGRESS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THE 2016 RECALL FOR 2016 DODGE DARTS EXPLAINS EVERY PROBLEM I'M HAVING AND EVEN SAYS THE PARTS THAT HAVE GONE BAD WILL GO BAD. IT ALSO STATES THAT THE PROBLEM MAY AFFECT MANUAL TRANSMISSION 2015 DARTS. THE DODGE MECHANICS TOLD ME I NEED A NEW CLUTCH, THROW OUT BEARING, AND FLY WHEEL. $2,000 FIX IN WHICH THEY SAID WOULD ONLY BE A BAND AIDE BECAUSE IT'S A DEFECT WITH DODGE DARTS AND IT WILL CONTINUALLY HAPPEN NO MATTER HOW I DRIVE OR HOW OFTEN I REPLACE THE PARTS. DODGE CORPORATE HAS OCCUPIED MOST OF MY WEEK ON THE PHONE AND THEY KEEP DENYING ME ASSISTANCE, PLUS KEEP CLOSING MY CASES WITH NO REASON WHY.

I DRIVE A 2015 DODGE DART. I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT ON A DECLINE. SHIFTED TO N, COASTED WITH MY FOOT IN THE BREAK, UNTIL COMFORTABLE. WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPED, I SET THE E-BRAKE. MY BRAKE PEDAL DECOMPRESSED AND PUSHED BACK AT MY FOOT. NOW PEDAL IS STIFF AND WON'T MOVE. WHEN LEAVING PARKING LOT BRAKE PEDAL HALFWAY DECOMPRESSED. I WENT TO STOP AT THE INTERSECTION STOP SIGN. PRESSED BRAKES TO STOP AND COULDN'T.. THE PEDAL WAS ROCK SOLID, STIFF AS A BOARD. I THEN PULLED MY E-BRAKE, ONLY TO COME TO A SCREECHING STOP HALF WAY INTO CROSS TRAFFIC. I PUSHED BRAKES TO SHIFT TO REVERSE AND THE PEDAL WAS STIFF WITH NO PLAY. I SHIFTED TO REVERSE AND BACKED INTO A PARKING SPOT, HAD TO, AGAIN, PULL MY E-BRAKE TO STOP. CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED. BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE. DODGE WANTED 3K. MY FRIENDS SHOP WANTED $400. HAD CAR TOWED TO HIM. WHEN HE ORDERED THE PART, IT WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. SO I ASKED MYSELF WHY, LOOKED INTO IT AND FOUND OUT THE '13-'14 MODELS BRAKE BOOSTER WAS RECALLED. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED EARLY 2015. WHEN I CHECKED THE VIN, THERE WAS NO RECALL. BUT SEEING HOW THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER, AND I'VE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR NINE WEEKS NOW, I'M STARTING TO THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. IF IT ORIGINALLY WAS 3 DAYS TO 3 WEEKS, AND THAT'S NOW TRIPLED..
