CLUTCH STICKS DOWN AND HAS TO BE PULLED BACK UP MANUALLY. AT TIMES IT IS DIFFICULT TO SWITCH GEARS AS IT DOESN'T SEEM TO FULLY DISENGAGE. HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF DRIVING SITUATIONS OR TEMPERATURE. HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON DODGE FORUMS DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE.

ENGINE
DODGE DARTS OF THIS MODEL YEAR INCLUDING MINE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TURBOCHARGER. PROBLEMS WITHIN THE SETUP CREATE A "TURBO UNDERBOOST" CONDITION, WHICH PROMPTS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND THROWS THE CAR INTO LIMP MODE. THIS IS OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY A LACK OF POWER FROM THE ENGINE AND A ROUGH IDLE, OR STALLING AT IDLE. IN MY CASE IT HAPPENED WHILE I LEAVING A CITY, AND I DID NOT HAVE THE POWER TO ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER PULLING OVER AND RE-STARTING THE CAR, THIS ISSUE IS TEMPORARILY RESOLVED. THIS IS SUCH AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR THAT THERE IS A NORTH AMERICA WIDE BACK-ORDER ON THE NEW-TURBO WITH THIS ISSUE CORRECTED. FOR MANY LIKE ME, THIS EXPENSE IS OUT-POCKET OR FOR A LUCKY FEW, STILL COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE WARRANTS A RECALL AND PROPER FIX IF THE TURBOCHARGER SETUP. THE ISSUE IS CORRECTED ON 2014+ MODEL YEARS, WHICH IS AN INDICATION THAT FCA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPERS HAVE TURNED AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND AM UNABLE TO CHANGE THE SPEED OF THE WIPERS. IT STARTED WITH THEM TURNING ON WHEN THE LEFT BLINKER WAS ACTIVATED, BUT THEY WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN THE BLINKER DID. THEY ARE NOW TURNING ON EVERY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THEY WASHER SPRAYER DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE EITHER. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS BECAUSE THE WIPERS KEEP MOVING IN FRONT OF YOU AND THEY SCREECH HORRIBLY SINCE THE WINDSHIELD IS DRY AND THE WASHER FLUID NO LONGER WORKS. THIS IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE SPEED OF THE WIPERS TO KEEP UP WITH THE HEAVINESS OF THE RAIN. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH MANY FORUMS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE BATTERY LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLICKERING ON AND OFF, AND THE VEHICLE STARTED IDLING AND DECREASING IN SPEED FOR NO REASON. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT DID NOT WANT TO DO SO, AND AGAIN THE LIGHTS AND POWER STARTED FLICKERING TURNING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. UPON PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, AT WHICH TRYING TO RESTART, THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OVER ONLY CLICKING NOISES. INSTEAD STILL WHAT SEEMED LIKE A SURGING OF POWER WITH ALL RANDOM LIGHTS FLICKERING AND STEREO TURNING ON AND OFF. THIS ISSUE HAD NOT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE BUT NOW TWICE, AND I AM CURRENTLY LEFT CAR LESS AS THE ISSUE CANNOT BE FIXED OR FOUND. A TUNE UP WAS DONE ON MY CAR, WIRES REPLACED, THE BATTERY REPLACED TWICE, AND A MODULE REPLACED DUE TO THE FAN FOR AIR CONDITIONING INTERMITTENTLY TURNING OFF AND ON ON IT'S OWN FOR NO RHYME OR REASON. I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR ALL STATED ABOVE REPLACEMENTS. HOWEVER, I HAVE KEPT THEM IN MY CAR RECENTLY DUE TO HAVE TO REPLACE MULTIPLE PARTS WITHIN ONLY A COUPLE MONTHS OF THE PART BEING REPLACED. NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS TAKING PLACE, AND I AM CERTAINLY TIRED OF PAYING FOR PARTS TO REPLACE THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY HAVE NOT HELPED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. IT SEEMS TO ME IT IS MORE OF A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAN A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. MORE OVER THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE OCCURRED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND COULD'VE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED DUE TO CARS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND NOT PAYING ATTENTION. THIS ISSUE IS REALLY DANGEROUS AND COULD BE LIFE THREATENING IF NOT HANDLED APPROPRIATELY. I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THESE FAULTS BEFORE IT COSTS A LIFE.
