ENGINE, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING IN THE MORNING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD SPEED LIMIT OF 30, I DECREASE SPEED TO COME TO A FULL STOP AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF ENGINE POWER AND POWER STEERING AT APPROXIMATELY 10MPH. VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START UNTIL THE 3RD ATTEMPT. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE UNTIL THE VEHICLE STALLED THE 2ND TIME. THEY UPDATED PCM/TCM, BUT STILL HAD STALLING ISSUES. THIS VEHICLE HAD STALLED OVER 5 TIMES AND THE DEALER WERE NOT ABLE TO PIN POINT THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS NOW AT APPROXIMATELY 15,400 MILES. I FEEL LIKE I'M ON THE EDGE AND UNSAFE EVERY TIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL. ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS NOT TURNING ON AND AS WELL AS THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS NOT CLOSING.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE WERE JUST LEAVING ON A WEEKEND TRIP, STOPPED FOR GAS AND STARTED TO PULL OUT FROM DRIVEWAY WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED AND WE ENDED UP HALFWAY IN THE ROAD. THANKFULLY IT WAS CLEAR AT THE TIME AND THANKFULLY WE WERE 3 BLOCKS FROM HOME. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY STIFF AND HAS A WHOOSHING SOUND. I'M SO UPSET WITH THE QUALITY OF THIS CAR. I'VE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH IT SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED IT AND AFTER MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP NONE OF THE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED EXCEPT ONE I FIGURED OUT ON MY OWN. I WILL NOT SUGGEST ANYONE BUY A DART AND EXPECT TO HAVE ALL THESE ISSUES DEALT WITH AT NO COST AS AFTER READING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS I SEE ITS A COMMON ISSUE

POWER TRAIN
WHEN I WENT TO TURN MY CAR ON, WHICH IS A MANUAL, MY CLUTCH PEDAL STAYED ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I COULD NOT TURN THE KEY TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I HAD TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE CLUTCH RELEASED AND I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO TURN MY CAR OFF. WHEN I TRIED AGAIN TO TURN MY CAR ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL ONCE AGAIN STAYED ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE BUT I WAS ABLE TO TURN MY CAR OFF THE SECOND TIME. AND TRY AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL THE CLUTCH WOULD RETURN AFTER I TURNED THE CAR ON

THE CLUSTER THAT HOUSES THE SPEEDOMETER IS WRONG. CURRENTLY THE SPEEDOMETER EVEN READS 20MPH EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS NOT EVEN RUNNING. IT IS HARD TO TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING WITHOUT RELIABLE SPEEDOMETER INFORMATION.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE THREW AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE LED DASHBOARD ABOUT SERVICING THE TRANSMISSION. UNABLE TO PLACE CAR IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. AFTER MESSING WITH IT FOR A WHILE (SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF AND TURNING BACK ON, PAUSING FOR A FEW MINUTES) THE VEHICLE WOULD FINALLY WORK AGAIN. THIS SEEMED TO HAPPEN DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR AND TOWARDS WINTER WITH THE RECALL EVENTUALLY TAKING PLACE. (2014). I ARGUED WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO PROVIDE SOMETHING FOR TRANSPORTATION SINCE I HAD NO OTHER OPTIONS. AFTER ARGUING AND FINALLY GETTING A RENTAL THEY OFFERED TO PAY 3 DAYS. IT TOOK THEM MULTIPLE DAYS TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE AND THEY FOUND LOW TRANSMISSION FLUID. THERE WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL AS WELL. THIS YEAR ALMOST 6 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST INCIDENT THE SAME ISSUES ARE OCCURRING. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I CAME ACROSS THE SAME ISSUES. IT TOOK A WEEK TO GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND I HAD TO BORROW A VEHICLE SINCE THE CAR HAS TROUBLE ACCELERATING WITH THESE ISSUES. THEY PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND IT SEEMED TO WORK FOR A WEEK. TODAY THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START BUT THE CARS COMPUTERS TURNED ON. AFTER TESTING DIFFERENT STEPS THE CAR FINALLY TURNED ON BUT THE ACCELERATION IS CLUNKY AND DOESN'T SHIFT APPROPRIATELY.

POWER TRAIN
INTERMITTENTLY, THE CLUTCH PEDAL HAD DROPPED TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED AND NOT RETURNING WITHOUT PUMPING THE PEDAL PRIOR TO STARTING THE ENGINE. THIS WAS BECOMING COMMON AFTER THE CAR WAS NOT IN OPERATION OVERNIGHT BUT ON 6-AUG-15 THE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS PRIOR TO EXITING A LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY WITH THE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR THE ENGINE DID NOT DISENGAGE FROM THE TRANSMISSION OR ALLOW THE SHIFTER TO BE MOVE OUT OF GEAR. IT REQUIRED THE PEDAL TO BE PULLED UP MANUALLY WITH THE TOE OF MY SHOE AND PUMPED BEFORE IT ACTUATED THE CLUTCH AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO STOP. AN ACCIDENT WAS NARROWLY AVOIDED ON INTERSTATE 495 DUE TO THIS FAILURE. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING THE SERVICE BULLETIN M37, TRANSAXIAL SLAVE VALVE DEFECT AND THEY SAID THIS IS A LISTED ISSUE FOR THE CAR/ENGINE BUT NOT FOR THIS VIN. REGARDLESS OF THE BULLETIN'S "COMMITMENT TO SAFETY" THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY TOWING OR REPAIR.

ENGINE
I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE IN AUGUST OF 2014 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON ME WHILE AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON, MY TRANSMISSION ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SO I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A PART FOR THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN IN FEBRUARY OF 2015 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF ON ME ONCE AGAIN WHILE STUCK IN TRAFFIC ON THE EXPRESSWAY. WHEN I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. AGAIN, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS AGAIN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE FROM THE PREVIOUS MONTHS BEFORE. ONCE AGAIN I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON MAY OF 2015 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF ON ME FOR THE THIRD TIME WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT BUT THIS TIME MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SMELL LIKE IT WAS BURNING OIL. WHEN I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE, MY OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN MY CAR WAS BEING LOOKED AT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND THEY ALSO STATED THAT " SOMETHING WORSE HAD TO HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE FOR THEM FIX THE PROBLEM." THEY TEST DROVE MY VEHICLE AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE SO IT WAS RETURNED TO ME. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE IF IT KEEPS ON SHUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT AND ALSO SMELLING LIKE BURNING OIL AND FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR THIS LAST VISIT IS REALLY UPSETTING. ALL OF THESE SCENARIOS HAVE HAPPENED IN LESS THAN A YEAR OF PURCHASING MY VEHICLE.THIS IS VERY SCARY AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THIS CAUSES A CRASH OR POSSIBLY DEATH! I SENT A LETTER TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS SITUATION, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS SO SAD.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS HEADED TO THE MALL ON DAY WITH MY FIANCEE AND CHILD AND WHILE PULLING UP APPLYING THE BRAKE AT A RED LIGHT. I HEARD WHAT SOUND LIKE A POP AND MY BREAK PEDAL INSTANTLY BECAME HARD TO PRESS. I HAD TO USE ALMOST ALL MY LEG STRENGTH TO STOP THE CAR (TO BRAKE) BEFORE THE RED LIGHT. VERY WORRIED WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I DRIVE THROUGH AND USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PARK IN YHE PARKING LOT. I REPAIRED IT MYSELF AFTER WAITING ON THE PART THAT WAS ON BACK ORDER FOR 3 WEEKS. I FIXED IT PROPERLY AND 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. 7/30/15 I BELIEVE IT COULD NOW BE THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO MY BOOSTER. I AM GOING TO PULL THE MASTER CYLINDER AND PUT SOME PRESSURE THROUGH IT AND SEE IF IT LEAKS AS I PRESS THE PUSH ROD. I WILL SURELY LET EVERYONE KNOW.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PURCHASED MY DODGE DART IN OCT 2014. ON JULY 10 2015 I GOT INTO MY CAR AND NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING. I RETURNED HOME AND CALLED THE DEALER TO GET IT TO THE SHOP. MY APPOINTMENT WAS FOR JULY 15 AND I DROPPED IT OFF THE EVENING OF THE 14TH. THEY CALLED ON THE 16TH OF JULY TO SAY MY VEHICLE WAS READY AND THAT THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. I WAS DRIVING IT THE NEXT DAY AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER AND MADE THEM AWARE AND TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THEM. I ALSO PROVIDED VIDEO TO THEM SHOWING THE ISSUE AT HAND. THE DEALER CALLED ON THE 24TH OF JULY TO SAY I COULD COME AND PICK UP MY CAR UNTIL THE PART CAME IN TO REPAIR MY SPEEDOMETER ON AUGUST 5TH. THEY TOLD ME THEY DO NOT FEEL A SPEEDOMETER THAT DOES NOT WORK IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN TO STOP AT A LIGHT AND MY CAR BEGAN TO JUMP AS IF IT WAS STAILING. MY CAR WAS BRAND NEW AT PURCHASING AND ABOUT FOUR MONTHS IN IT BEGAN TO SOUND LOUDER AS IF IT WAS A TEN YEAR OLD CAR. THAT OCCURED WHEN I CRUNK UP THE CAR TO WARM IT UP IN THE MORNING. READING OTHERS EXPERIENCES WITH THIS VEHICLE I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE BEFORE THINGS GET WORSE. AN ENGINE IS NOTHING TO TAKE LIGHTLY AND I HOPE THE COMPANIES REALIZE THAT.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY I FELT A WEIRD POPPING. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A STOP. WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS TO GO AGAIN, THE CAR WOULDN'T RESPOND. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS IN DRIVE AND WOULDN'T GO, SO I PUT IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I THEN TURNED IT BACK ON IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR AND I COULD DRIVE, BUT THE TRANSMISSION KEPT SLIPPING. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID IT JUST NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE, WHICH THEY DID. LESS THEN 24 HOURS LATER IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A MONTH AND NOW I'M STARTING TO THINK THIS IS WHY THE PREVIOUS OWNER TRADED IT IN.
