ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY DODGE DART HAS AN ISSUE WHERE THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND THEN THE CAR WILL TURN OFF WHILE IT IS IN USE. THIS ISSUE BEGAN AROUND 1 YEAR AGO AND HAS BEEN SPORADICALLY HAPPENING SINCE THEN. MY MECHANIC EXCHANGED MY BATTERY BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTED AND HE HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A CAUSE. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE DARTS. WHEN THE OIL GETS LOW THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHEN IN USE WITHOUT AN INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWING THE OIL IS LOW AND DESPITE THE OIL LIFE PERCENTAGE NOT BEING CRITICALLY LOW (IT WAS 17% THE MOST RECENT TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME). THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ABRUPTLY AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE THE CAR IS SHUTTING OFF.

POWER TRAIN
WE WERE OUT SHOPPING FOR MY SON A CAR AND HAD STOPPED AT A DEALERSHIP LEFT THE CAR RUNNING OUT IT IN PARK ONCE WE TRIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR ON MAY 25TH. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WE PURCHASED IT FROM ( A CHEVY DEALER) BECAUSE WE HAVE A LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE FOLLOWING DAY WE CHECKED OUR MAIL AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION CABLE V34. THE CHEVY DEALER WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM CAUSE THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE SO WE HAD TO PAY AGAIN FOR A TOW TO A DODGE DEALER FOR A TEMPORARY FIX!!! WE LIVE IN A RURAL AREA MY DAUGHTER NEEDS TRANSPORTATION TO COLLEGE BUT YET THE DODGE MANUFACTURER WILL PROVIDE US WITH A RENTAL UNTIL OUR CAR IS FIXED! THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE THE DEALER WILL KIT HAVE THE TEMPORARY PART FOR 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS!!! I HAVE REACHED OUT TO OTHER NON DODGE DEALERS AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT IF IT WERE THEIR VEHICLE THEY WOULD PROVIDE THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH A RENTAL UNTIL THE CAR WAS REPAIRED THE GM DEALER STATED THAT. I'M ASSUMING THEY APPRECIATE THEIR CUSTOMERS THEREFORE I OR ANY FAMILY MEMBERS WILL BE BUYING A JEEP DODGE ETC PRODUCT AGAIN!! AND I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO LET OTHERS KNOW OF THE POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE PROVIDED!! WE ARE LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK LIKE MOST AMERICANS AND CAN'T AFFORD A HARD SHIP LIKE THIS , WE ALSO HAVE TO PAY FOR BOTH TOW BILLS AND THE TEMPORARY FIX UNTIL YOUR COMPANY RELEASES A RELIABLE PART WHICH STATES COULD BE THE END OF AUGUST AND THAT'S WHEN I'LL BE REIMBURSED!!! I KNOW THOSE OF YOU MAKING THE DECISIONS WILL LAUGH AT A PERSON LIKE ME AND MY FAMILY THINKING THIS IS SILLY BUT THIS IS TRULY A HARDSHIP ON US AND YOU COULDN'T POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND THE STRESS AND FINANCIAL STRAIN IT HAS CAUSED!!!

I REVERSED VEHICLE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY INTO THE STREET AND AS I WAS SHIFTING INTO 'DRIVE' THE VEHICLE WENT INTO NEUTRAL. SHIFTER MOVES AS NORMAL, VEHICLE REMAINS IN NEUTRAL. WITH THIS I AM UNABLE TO TURN VEHICLE OFF SINCE IT WILL NOT GO INTO 'PARK.' DEALERSHIPS VERY UNHELPFUL SAYING THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND THERE WILL BE A CHARGE FOR THEM TO EVEN LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. NEVER DOING BUSINESS WITH CHRYSLER EVER AGAIN. MY 2 YEAR OLD WAS ALSO IN THE VEHICLE, HAD TO PUT THE HAND BRAKES UP TO STOP CAR FROM MOVING.

POWER TRAIN
CAR WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 15 MILES FOR AN OUTING AND ONCE WE ARRIVED, CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO OR OUT OF PARK. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES ATTEMPTING TO SECURE VEHICLE, ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED AND CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE SHIFT CABLE HAD AN ISSUE AND A REPLACEMENT WOULD BE ORDERED UNDER OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CAR WAS UNDER RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE (V34) AND WHEN WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE RECALL, THEY STILL INSISTED THAT WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR UNDER OUR WARRANTY AND THEN FILE A CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT. WE WERE TOLD THE PART BEING USED FOR REPAIR WAS NOT AN UPGRADE IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL, BUT JUST A STANDARD CABLE REPLACEMENT. WE WERE INFORMED THAT WE EITHER PAY FOR THE PART OR PARK THE CAR UNTIL THE RECALL WAS RESOLVED. WHEN ASKED ABOUT A LOANER OR RENTAL, THE RESPONSE WAS NO LOANER WOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE AND A RENTAL WAS ALLOWED FOR A PERIOD OF 5 DAYS ONLY WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE WERE ALSO INFORMED THAT THE RECALL COULD TAKE WEEKS OR MONTHS TO RESOLVE. SO OUR CHOICE IS TO EITHER PAY TO HAVE A KNOWN BAD PART INSTALLED OR PARK THE CAR FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD. WE THEN CONTACTED FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE AND MET THE SAME RESULT. PAY FOR THE PART AND THEN RETURN THE CAR ONCE AGAIN AFTER THE RECALL WAS RESOLVED, OR PARK THE CAR. THERE WOULD BE NO LOANER OR RENTAL REIMBURSEMENT CONSIDERED. SO, WE ARE FORCED TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND SEND MY WIFE BACK OUT ONTO THE STREETS WITH A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE THAT MAY RESULT IN HARM OR WORSE. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS NOT HIS RESPONSIBILITY AND SINCE HE IS AN INDEPENDENT, WE "TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT". FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE WAS ALMOST USELESS AND A WASTE OF TIME.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS LEAVING A VERY BUSY PARKING LOT AFTER SHOPPING, I PROCEEDED TO THE EXIT AND WENT TO STOP AT THE FOUR WAY. WHEN I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES THEY WHERE VERY HARD AND NOT STOPPING ME, THERE WAS A AIR SOUND COMING FROM THEM AND THE PEDAL STARTED PUSHING BACK AT ME. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS FLUID LEAKING OR IF MY RIMS HAD BRAKE FLUID, OF COURSE THERE WAS NOTHING AND THE FLUID CONTAINER WAS ALMOST FULL. I SEE THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR YOUNG CHILD IN THE CAR AND PLENTY OF OTHER FAMILIES DRIVING ON THE ROADS.
