SERVICE BRAKES
I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2013 DODGE DART SXT RALLY WITH 2.0 ENGINE. I PUT ABOUT 3500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND BEGAN TO NOTICE A WHOOSH OF AIR NOISE WHEN DEPRESSING MY BRAKE PEDAL. A COUPLE DAYS WENT BY AND THE WHOOSHING NOISE BEGAN TO GET WORSE I ALSO BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF BRAKES WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD I NOTICED THE BRAKES BEGAN TO FADE QUICKLY RESULTING IN THE PEDAL BECOMING SUPER STIFF AND HAVING NO BRAKE PRESSURE ON THE PADS TO THE ROTORS. A COUPLE MORE DAYS WENT BY AND I COMPLETELY LOST BRAKES IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN ME HAVING TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DODGE DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED, A SERVICE TECH TEST DROVE THE CAR AND ALMOST CRASHED IT. HE EXPLAINED THE CAR HAS NO BRAKES AND HE'D HAVE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. THEY CAME BACK AND SAID TO ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE POWER BOOSTER AND POSSIBLY THE MASTER CYLINDER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR NOW. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE AND PARKING BRAKE FAILURE ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR DODGE DARTS. I FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS BRAKE SITUATION. WHAT IS DODGE GOING TO DO, TO ENSURE THAT THESE POWER BOOSTERS/MASTER CYLINDERS DO NOT CONTINUE TO FAIL? *TR

STEERING
I PURCHASED A 2013 DODGE DART SXT MULTIAIR TURBO 6-SPEED MANUAL ON 11/23/2013 AND WITHIN A WEEK, I TOOK THE CAR BACK FOR SERVICE BEING THAT THE WHEEL WAS OFF-CENTERED TO THE LEFT AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALIGNED ALL FOUR WHEELS. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD STICK WHEN I TRIED TO TURN AS IF IT HAD LOCKED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT THEN UNLOCK WHEN ENGAGED IN TURNING. ALSO, I NOTICED THAT WHILE DRIVING ALONG IN 6TH GEAR AROUND 65-70 MPH, I WOULD HEAR A THUMPING OR SOMETHING GOING ON UNDERNEATH THE CAR LIKE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE, OR A FLAPPING SOUND. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT HAVE DOCUMENTED THE COMPLAINT UP HERE FOR MY RECORDS. MY CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 8,500 MILES ON IT AND ALSO I SEE THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE SIDE AIRBAG, PARKING BRAKE, AND THE POWERTRAIN. ALL OF THESE RECALLS WERE PLACED PRIOR TO THE DATE OF PURCHASING MY CAR AND I WILL QUESTION THE DEALERSHIP ASAP TO SEE IF THESE THINGS WERE FIXED PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR. I WILL SUBMIT FURTHER UPDATES ON THIS SITE ONCE I SEE HOW THIS DEALERSHIP HANDLES THIS!!! *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 10 MONTHS AND ISSUES WITH ENGINE STALLING/HESITATION HAVE GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SINCE MY FIRST ENCOUNTER AT THE DEALERSHIP AT 13,300 MILES. I FIRST REPORTED THIS ISSUE WITH ENGINE STALLING/HESITATION AND THEY STATED IT WAS A SPARK PLUG/PLUG WIRE ISSUE, (IRIDIUM SPARK PLUGS RATED FOR 100,000 MILES). AFTER REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG THEY THEN DETERMINED IT NEEDED A CONTROL MODULE REPLACED AND AN ENGINE RESET FOR MY COMPUTER SYSTEM. AFTER THAT IT HAS BEEN IN A FEW MORE TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHS FOR THE SAME ENGINE STALLING AND HESITATION ISSUES. MY ENGINE HAS BEEN "RESET AND THE COMPUTER UPDATED" AND SINCE MY GAS MILEAGE HAS GOTTEN WORSE AS WELL AS THE STALLING/HESITATION ISSUES ARE STILL THERE AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. THEN MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AS I WAS IN D AS IF I HAD PUT MY VEHICLE INTO N AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL JUST REVVING THE ENGINE, IT HAS DONE THE SAME WHEN I SWITCH TO PUT MY VEHICLE IN R. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE THEREFORE GIVING THEM NOTHING TO GO BY OTHER THAN MY WORD OF MOUTH EXPERIENCE. DAYS AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM THE DEALER IT WENT OUT ON MY AS I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR THOROUGHWAY AT 50MPH. I PRESSED THE GAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AND IT JUST REVVED THE ENGINE, LIGHTS FLASHED ON SHIFTER AND DASH. I HAD TO MANUALLY SWITCH THROUGH MY GEARS TO TRY AND GET THE CAR TO GO. AFTER MY HUSBAND PULLED MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST PARKING AREA SAFELY I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND GO FORWARD, IT WOULDN'T START RIGHT AWAY IT TRIED TO CRANK BUT WOULDN'T TURN OVER WHEN IT STARTED JUST THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON MY DASH NO MORE ERRORS WERE DISPLAYED. I DID MANAGE TO TAKE PICTURES WITH MY CELLPHONE BEFORE. I WANT DODGE TO OWN UP AND FIX THIS INSTEAD OD PUTTING A BANDAID AND SENDING ME ALONG. CUSTOMER CARE HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL AT ALL AND THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
MY 2013 DODGE DART HAD A TIRE WITH LESS THAN 7000 MILES ON IT BUBBLE AT THE SIDEWALL. THIS WAS FOUND BY THE TIRE SHOP THAT (RIGHTLY) REFUSED TO RE-INSTALL THE TIRE. THEY DID NOT HAVE THE MODEL IN STOCK, SO I ENDED UP BUYING 2 NEW TO BE SAFE ON THE ROAD. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS A IMPACT RELATED DAMAGE, IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND THERE IS NO ROAD-HAZARD. THE SAME MODEL TIRE WAS RECALLED BY KUHMO LAST YEAR ACCORDING TO THE FORUMS. I DO STILL HAVE THE OLD TIRE. THE REST OF THE TIRE LOOKS FINE AND HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED. THEIR REASONING WAS THAT IF YOU CANNOT SEE IT WHEN DEFLATED, THEN IT WAS IMPACT RELATED, NOT MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I CAN FIND IT EITHER WAY. *TR

STEERING
NOT SURE IF IT IS A REAL CONCERN, JUST CHECKING TO SEE IF ANY ONE ELSE HAS HAD ISSUE WITH STEERING, MY SON DRIVES THIS CAR AND SAYS WHEN DRIVING, WHEN HE GOES TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IT IS LIKE IT IS LOCKED -- (EXAMPLE) WHEN WENT TO TURN LEFT IT WOULD NOT TURN, LET OFF OR TURN WHEEL TO RIGHT THEN HE COULD GO AHEAD AND IT WOULD LET HIM TURN TO LEFT, GOING TO GET IT TO DEALER TO BE CHECKED BUT I WAS WONDERING IF ANY ONE ELSE HAS SAID ANY THING ABOUT THE STEERING ON THIS CAR? IT IS A SWEET CAR AND THIS HAS BEEN THE FIRST ISSUE WITH IT. MY SON SAID IT DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE REPORTED OR IF THIS IS A FIRST. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH DODGE AN WE ARE GETTING ON TOP OF IT. BY ALL MEANS I AM NOT COMPLAINING I JUST WAS WONDERING.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WANT TO REPORT THAT THE WIPERS CAN NOT CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD PROPERLY. IF YOU TRY TO DRIVE THROUGH A TORRENTIAL RAIN THE WINDSHIELD IS WET, EVEN IN THE HIGHEST SPEED. AND ALSO THE WINDSHIELD (GLASS) ABSORBS THE DIRTY , OIL, ETC, SO IT IS VERY COMPLICATED TO CLEAN WITH THE WINDSHIELD CLEANER OR OTHER PRODUCTS THAT ARE SPECIFIC FOR THIS PURPOSE. *TR

VEHICLE IS THE 1.4L MULTIAIR TURBO MODEL WITH THE DDCT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WAITING IN A PARKING LOT, STOPPED IN EVENT TRAFFIC, CAR BEGAN EMITTING SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES, WITH THE SMOKE INTENSIFYING, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS. RIGHT BEFORE THE SHUTOFF, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR CAME ON. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN RUNNING NO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES AND THERE WERE NO OTHER MALFUNCTION INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON DASH, NOR HAD THERE EVER BEEN PRIOR. THE AAA PROVIDER CONFIRMED WITH ME THAT VISUALLY EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FINE AND IN PROPER WORKING CONDITION WITH ALL FLUID LEVELS IN ACCEPTABLE RANGES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IS CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED. VEHICLE WAS ORDERED MAY 11, 2013 AND RECEIVED AUGUST 19, 2013. CURRENTLY HAS 5555 MILES. THIS EVEN SOUNDS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO COMPLAINT NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10496762 QUOTED BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY: TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN A PARKING LOT IDLING, SMOKE STARTED TO EMIT THROUGH THE VENTS AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE LOW WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,600 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,000. *TR

PRESSED IN CLUTCH PEDAL TO START VEHICLE. AFTER CAR STARTED, TRIED TO TAKE CAR OUT OF GEAR BUT IT WOULDN'T BUDGE. ALSO, THE CLUTCH PEDDLE WOULD NOT RELEASE, AS IT WAS STUCK TO THE FULLY PRESSED POSITION. CAR BEGAN TO ROLL AS IF IT STARTED TO DISENGAGE BUT THE PEDDLE WAS STILL COMPLETELY PRESSED IN. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF. I HAD TO PULL THE CLUTCH PEDDLE UP BY HAND TO GET IT TO DISENGAGE. CALLED DEALER SERVICE, SAID THEY COULDN'T RESOLVE THE ISSUE IF THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I'VE NOTICED MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. *TR

ENGINE
WAS GOING TO PICK UP MY BOYFRIEND AND WHEN 3 MILES FROM HOME OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND WAS TRYING TO GET TO A SAFE PULL OFF SPOT WHEN THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY.(THIS SECTION OF HIGHWAY WAS AN AREA OF MAJOR SEMI-TRUCK TRAFFIC) ALL THE OIL HAD DRAINED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WAS TWO CERTAIN PARTS AND WOULD BE READY THE NEXT DAY. CALLED BACK AND SAID NOW SOMETHING ELSE WRONG AND HAD TO ORDER ANOTHER PART (THE TURBO) THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE READY. THIS CAR HAS 249 MILES AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT! I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND I AM FURIOUS WITH DODGE WHEN THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL CAR AND JUST CONTINUE TO IGNORE OR BLAME THE CUSTOMERS. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED! WILL BE LOOKING INTO SOME KIND OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *JS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON THE WAY HOME MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT TURN ON. I PULLED INTO MY DEALERSHIP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. WHEN I LEFT THERE THE CRUISE STARTED WORKING. WHEN THEY LOOKED AT IT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SINCE CHRYSLERS COMPUTERS WHERE DOWN THEY COULD NOT RESEARCH WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. I WAS TOLD THAT ANOTHER LADY CALLED THAT DAY AND HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

CLUTCH PEDAL DOES NOT ALWAYS COME ALL THE WAY BACK UP. I HAVE TO PULL IT UP WITH MY FOOT. I CAN TELL IT DOES NOT HAVE THE CLUTCH ENGAGED TO BURN IT OUT. JUST A IRRITATING THING TO HAVE TO DO ON A BRAND NEW CAR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER ISSUE AND HAD THEM CHECK IT. THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO STICK. AND SINCE CHRYSLERS SYSTEM WAS DOWN THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO LOOK AT. THIS HAPPENS AND RANDOM TIMES. THIS MORNING IT HAPPENED. WHEN I WENT TO PUSH THE CLUTCH DOWN I COULD TELL THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE FOR A FEW INCHES. WHEN I RELEASED THE CLUTCH IT ONLY CAME PART WAY UP AGAIN. BIGGEST FRUSTRATION IS THE TECH'S CAN NOT PROBLEM SOLVE ANYTHING WITH OUT A COMPUTER TELLING THEM WHAT TO DO. I MADE A FEW SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO CHECK BUT THEY HAD NOT CLUE. SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THIS CAR I DO EXPECT BUGS IN THE SYSTEM. HOWEVER THEY SHOULD BE PREPARED TO PROBLEM SOLVE THIS PROBLEMS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS OR PROBLEM SOLVE IT MYSELF. *TR
