ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING THE SCREEN WILL RANDOMLY GO COMPLETELY BLACK AND THEN START FLICKERING WHITE - MY DASH IS NOW DOING THE SAME, SIMULTANEOUSLY. HOWEVER, THE SCREEN LIGHTS (SPEED, MILES, MPG, ETC) STAY DIM TO WHERE I CAN'T EVEN READ WHAT IS SAYS. MY SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGES WILL GIVE OUT AND THEN PROCEED TO QUICKLY FLICKER UP AND DOWN. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS OF THIS HAPPENING, THE WHOLE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST TWO DAYS, WITHIN A MAXIMUM OF 4 TOTAL HOURS DRIVING TIME. WHEN STARTING MY CAR, IT HESITATES TO START - IT MAKES CLICKING NOISES PRIOR TO ACTUALLY STARTING. THE BATTERY IS FAIRLY NEW AS WELL. MY CENTER CONSOLE RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING, I HAVE ZERO CONTROL OVER THE RADIO / CLIMATE FUNCTION. EVEN AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY, THE PROBLEM RESUMES. THE UCONNECT DOESN'T WORK - NO PHONE SYSTEM, OR BLUETOOTH MUSIC. THE BACK-UP CAMERA HAS COMPLETELY GONE OUT. THERE SEEMS TO BE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE DODGE DART THAT GO UNSOLVED AND ARE A HUGE SAFETY RISK.

CLUTCH GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND DOES NOT COME BACK UP. CAN NOT SHIFT AND/OR ACCELERATE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE. BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY - TRAFFIC STARTS TO SLOW DOWN, I GO TO SHIFT DOWN AND CLUTCH GOES OUT AND DOESN'T COME BACK UP. VERY SCARY WHEN YOU ARE IN THE FAST LANE GOING 65 MILES AND YOUR CLUTCH DOESN'T WORK. BOTH TIMES THE SLAVE CYLINDER HAD TO BE REPLACED.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE'S AN ACTIVE RECALL ON MY 2013 DODGE DART AERO FOR THE SHIFTING CABLE BUSHING. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, MY CAR WASN'T REGISTERING IT WAS IN PARK SO I COULDN'T TURN IT OFF. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP ON MAIN STREET IN NORRISTOWN, PA. MOPAR SAID THE PART WON'T BE SHIPPED TO DEALERS FOR THE RECALL UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST SO THEY WANT TO PUT ANOTHER FAULTY PART IN. THEY ARE TELLING ME I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AND MOPAR SAYS THEY ARE NOT DOING AT REPAYMENTS. THEY HAVE ALSO REFUSED TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR IN THE MEAN TIME. I DON'T FEEL AS A CONSUMER THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OR A RENTAL BECAUSE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I WAS VERY LUCKY NO ONE ELSE WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN MINE FAILED, AND THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY WITHOUT HARMING MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITHC ON THE VEHICLE WHICH CONTROLS THE WIPERS, HIGH BEAMS, AND TURN SIGNALS IS KNOWN TO BREAK THROUGH WEAR AND TEAR OR NORMAL USE. THE SWITCH IS RAN BY A RIBBON WHICH CONTROLS THE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS OF THE SWITCH AND THROUGH NORMAL USE THIS PART IS KNOWN TO BREAK. MY 2013 DODGE DART RALLYE HAD THIS HAPPEN CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO NOT TURN OFF CREATING A SAFETY AND VISIBILITY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND MY WIFE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS ISSUE YET DODGE REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE KNOWING THAT THE PART IS FAULTY. THE TOTAL COST TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED WAS OVER $900 FOR A PART THAT SHOLD BE REPLACED BY DODGE AS IT IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE.

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD AN ACTIVE RECALL THAT I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT FOR MONTHS TO GET REPAIRED AND I WAS CONTINUALLY TOLD THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED AND I NEVER WAS. TODAY, ON AUGUST 1, 2019 AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IN A PARKING LOT, MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE FAILED AND CAUSED MY CAR TO GET STUCK IN REVERSE AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT TO PLACE MY CAR IN DRIVE. I HAD TO REMOVE THE BATTERY CABLES UNDER THE HOOD AND THE GEAR COVER FROM INSIDE THE CAR AND MANUALLY SWITCH MY CAR TO NEUTRAL AND HAVE MY CAR PUSHED HOME. I THEN CALLED MOPAR TO ASK WHAT THE REMEDY WAS FOR FIXING THE RECALL ISSUE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED AND THAT I WOULD LATER GET REIMBURSED. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME NOW DUE TO MY FINANCES AND I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT AN ACTIVE RECALL WAS TO BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY I WILL NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS ISSUE.
