POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I RECEIVED RECALL V34 NOTICE 5/25/19. IT SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION LINKAGE. IT WARNS YOU ABOUT GETTING OUT OF THE CAR WHEN IT STILL IS IN DRIVE, BUT DOESN'T TELL YOU HOW TO TURN THE CAR OFF IF THE LINKAGE FAILS IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE NOTICE SAYS ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE, BUT YOU STILL CAN'T TURN THE ENGINE OFF. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TRIED AND COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER 1-800-853-1403 NUMBER AND THEY WERE NO HELP!!!!! THEY KEEP SAYING JUST TURN THE KEY OFF. I EXPLAINED IT WAS A PUSH BUTTON START AND THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT!!!!!! *DT *TR *DT *DT CONSUMER WAS TOLD PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE NEXT MONTH.*JB

CAR WILL NOT SHIFT WHEN PUT FOOT ON GAS PEDAL BUT WILL REV. DASH WILL DIM WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND BLUETOOTH WILL SHUT OFF ALSO. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP WHILE IT IS IDLING AND WHILE GOING 30MPH OR LESS. ONLY HAPPENS WHILE IN THE CITY. NO PROBLEM WHILE ON HIGHWAYS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND NO MESSAGES ON THE DASH EITHER. THIS PROBLEM HAS NO PATTERN AND WILL HAPPEN RANDOMLY. THIS 2015 DODGE DART HAS AROUND 52,000 MILES ON IT. JUST STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS CAR THAT SOUNDS SIMALAR, BUT THAT RECALL MENTIONED NOTHING ABOUT THE DASH DIMMING WHEN THIS HAPPENS OR THE BLUETOOTH CUTTING OUT. THE CAR WILL VIOLENTLY JERK BACK AND FORTH WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ALSO IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT OR MAKING A TURN. AND THIS CAR HAS ONLY HAD IT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT ROADS, NO HILLS. WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMING ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE ARE NO FAULT CODES EITHER. SO CAN'T DOCUMENT IT. WE LIVE IN MINNESOTA AND THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED IN THIS STATE. MANUFACTURES RECALL NUMBER IS V34 AND NHTSA RECALL NUMBER IS 19V-293.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A MECHANIC EVERY SINGLE TIME TO GET FIXED. EVERY SINGLE TIME I AM DRIVING, I SLOW DOWN TO TURN AROUND A CORNER, MY ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPS, VEHICLE SPEED SLOWS DOWN, EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS FINE. WILL NOT RESTART, NEEDS JUMPED EVERY SINGLE TIME. EACH TIME I'VE BEEN LEFT IN THE ROAD HOPING NOT TO GET HIT. I'VE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EVERYWHERE. IF AN ACCIDENT OR A BIGGER PROBLEM COMES OUT OF THIS, I WILL BE SUING. I'VE ALREADY SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON THIS PROBLEM. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE MY BANK ACCOUNT OR MY CAR IS WRECKED.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 19V-293. THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING ON THE TRANSMISSION END OF THE SHIFTER CABLE WHICH CAN DETERIORATE AND BECOME DETACHED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THAT MY WIFE WAS STUCK AND COULD NOT MOVE DO TO THIS RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER HAVE SAID, THIS RECALL DOES NOT HAVE A FIX DATE I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT OCTOBER WOULD BE THE DATE. MY WIFE IS IN FEAR FOR HERSELF AND OUR KIDS. DODGE HAS NOT OFFERED ANYTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. WE ARE TRAVELING IN 2 WEEKS AND NOW HAVE TO SPEND OUR VACATION MONEY TO RENT A RELIABLE CAR? THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN A COMPANY FIX AN ISSUE TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFE. THIS IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF YOU SEARCH ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AND RECALL SINCE 2013? 6 YEARS CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS AND YET REFUSE TO COMPENSATE THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH ANYTHING TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. THIS IS SICKENING TO ME. THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE AND CAME TO A STOP, SHE SHIFTED THE GEAR TO GO IN DRIVE AND NOTHING. THE GEAR SHIFTER WILL GO FORWARD AND BACKWARDS WITHOUT ENGAGING THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER FIGURING OUT ABOUT THE RECALL. WE HAD TO POP THE HOOD. PUT MY HAND BY THE ENGINE WHERE IT'S HOT, AND POP THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER BACK ONTO THE TRANSMISSION PLATE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. A THIRD DEGREE BURN WILL CAUSE A LAWSUIT.
