ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN, THE SCREEN, BLACKS OUT AND THE RADIO SHUTS OFF. IT THEN "REBOOTS" AND WORKS FOR A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THE SCREEN GOES WHITE AND "REBOOTS". ALSO WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE GAUGE CLUSTER DIMS TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS BARELY VISIBLE. SOME COMMUTES, IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE OR TWICE, OTHERS, ITS SEEMS LIKE ITS EVERY 5 MINUTES OR SO. IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES, ACCELERATING, TURNING, AT A STOP, ETC.

2014 DODGE DART PURCHASED NEW. WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ON CITY STREET AND CAME TO STOP AND CAR JUST STALLED ON ME WITH NO WARNING WHICH WAS VERY SCARY. VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP STALLING SO TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID IT WOULD COST AT LEAST A THOUSAND TO TAKE CAR APART AS THEY BELIEVE IT IS A INTERNAL ENGINE PROBLEM. IT SUCKS CAUSE NOW MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND BY DOING SOME SEARCHING LOOKS LIKE THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM TO DODGE BUT NOTHING WAS EVER DONE ABOUT IT. MY CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH ONLY 60,000 MILES.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME LAST YEAR AROUND OCTOBER TO DECEMBER AND IT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. I START MY CAR AND I WILL BE DRIVING. THE CAR WILL THEN STOP RUNNING WHILE I'M IN DRIVE, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP BUT RADIO AND EVERYTHING WILL STILL BE ON. IT IS ALMOST LIKE MY CAR DIED. I AM THEN STUCK WHEREVER THE CAR BREAKS DOWN ON ME AT AND I WILL TRY AND START MY CAR. IT USUALLY TAKE 2 OR 3 TIMES BEFORE IT EVENTUALLY STARTS BACK UP. AND I ONLY HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OVER ONCE AND IT WILL KEEP TURNING OVER THE ENGINE UNTIL I TURN THE KEY TO TURN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF. IT ALSO SEEMS AS IF I HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT FOR THE CAR TO RUN FOR A MINUTE WHEN IT DOES START BACK UP BEFORE I CAN TAKE OFF AGAIN OR IT WILL JUST DIE ON ME AGAIN WHILE IM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR ANY OTHER LIGHT ON UNTIL IT SHUTDOWN ON ME. USUALLY ITS THE BATTERY LIGHT OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. BUT AS SOON AS IT STARTS UP AGAIN THEY ARE GONE. I KEEP UP TO DATE ON MY OIL CHANGES. I HAVE NO CLUE WHY IT DOES THIS. I ALSO RECENTLY CHANGED MY BATTERY. I ALSO HAD BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED AND THEY WERE GOOD. THERES TIMES I NOTICE MY CAR IDLING ON ITS OWN WHEN I START THE CAR AND WHEN I TAKE IT OUT OF PARK IT WANTS TO TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME OR EVERYDAY. ITS SCARY WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN AS I COULD BE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY CAR RANDOMLY WANTS TO SHUT DOWN ON ME. IT FEELS UNSAFE.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I HAD IT CHECKED IT'S NOT READING ANYTHING. MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LIGHT KEEP GOING OUT. I HAVE PAID FIRESTONE IN EAST CHASE IN MONTGOMERY AL TO REPLACE THE SOCKET AND I HAVE HAD THE BULB CHANGED OUT AT LEAST 3 TIMES. MY TRUNK STARTED OUT OPENING BY IT SELF. I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED IN THE REMOTE. NOW THE TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. THE REVERSE LIGHTS ARE OUT. I REPLACED THE BULBS. STILL WON'T WORK, THE TRUNK LIGHT IS OUT. NOW THE CAR HAS STARTED TO BEEP BEEP LIKE I HAVE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED THE DOOR WHEN I HAVE NOT TOUCHED IT. I HAVE TO REPLACE MY BATTERY EVERY 3 MONTHS. SOMETHING IS WRONG. I HAVE PAID MONEY AT BREWBAKER AND FIRESTONE IN MONTGOMERY AL. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I START THE CAR UP. THE CAR BEEPS BEEPS WHEN IT IS PARKED AND THE DOORS LOCKED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT BEHIND SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES. I WAS FEELING HOT SO I TURNED OFF THE HEATER AND DIRECTLY AFTER SMOKE FLOODED THE CABIN. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PROCEEDED FORWARD AS FAST AS POSSIBLE TO THE PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE COOLING SYSTEM RESERVOIR WAS NEAR THE UPPER TOP CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS OFF AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THE FANS/ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING DESPITE THE KEY BEING REMOVED.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
BACK IN THE BEGINNING OF 2019 I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT WAS CAUSING A JERKING MOTION WHEN I ACCELERATED AND I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. I INITIALLY HAD A CODE COME UP STATING THAT I NEEDED TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION. IT WOULD COME ON AND CLEAR ITSELF BEFORE I COULD GET IT LOOKED AT. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS OR MORE AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THEM AND DISCUSSED THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION THEY DISMISSED ME AS THAT WASN'T THE ISSUE BUT, AT THAT POINT I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED INTO THE SHOP BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE IT. THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED THE TRANSMISSION RECALL AND I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY CAR SITTING FOR THE LAST YEAR AND 2 MONTHS DUE TO MY INABILITY TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF WHATEVER ISSUES THAT WERE GOING ON THAT THEY NEVER FIXED. I AM UNSURE OF THE DAMAGE THAT THIS HAS CAUSED AND I AM HOPING THAT YOU GUYS WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT I CAN DO TO HAVE THEM NOW FIX MY CAR. SINCE THERE IS POSSIBLY ADDITIONAL DAMAGE DONE TO MY VEHICLE DUE TO THEM DISMISSING ME I FEEL THAT IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THAT DAMAGE AS WELL. THE DATE I GAVE WAS AN APPROXIMATE DATE SINCE IT HAS BEEN SO LONG I AM UNSURE OF THE EXACT DATE BUT CAN GET A COPY OF THE DOCUMENTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP IF NEEDED.

THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION SIGNAL KEEPS COMING ON TO THE DASH BOARD THE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO GO IN GEAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE. SOMETIMES IT GIVES TROUBLE GOING FORWARD & IT SWITCHES AUTOMATICALLY TO NEUTRAL. 2013 IS THE WORST MODEL I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH IT SINCE I GOT IT.

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND IT JUST NOW STARTED JERKING WHILE DRIVING IT. IT DOES THIS IN ANY GEAR OR IN PARK WHILE THE CAR IS ON. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF OR MAYBE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY USED THEIR CODE READER AND CAN NOT FIND OUT WHATS WRONG WITH THE CAR.. I HAVE GOT A OIL CHANGE AND USED A GAS TREATMENT ON IT SO FAR ITS STILL JERKING WHILE I DRIVE. I AM WORRIED THIS COULD LEAD TO MORE ISSUES OR EVEN CUT OFF ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING. I USE THIS CAR EVERYDAY FOR WORK AND MY FAMILY AS WE ONLY HAVE 1 CAR. THIS HAPPENS AT STOP SIGNS/LIGHTS AND WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE. THIS STARTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO.

CAR RANDOMLY REVS AND GOES INTO A STEALTH MODE WHERE YOU MUST DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE ENGINE. ALSO THE CAR RANDOMLY STATES THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK WHEN IT IS AND YOU MUST CONTINUOUSLY PULL THE CAR OUT OF PARK AND BACK INTO PARK FOR THE CAR TO RECOGNIZE ITS ACTUALLY IN PARK.
