CAR HAS ISSUE SHIFTING BETWEEN NEUTRAL AND GEARS WHILE DRIVING. WHILE IN DRIVE AND ACCELERATION IS ADDED CAR STALLS AND WILL OCCASIONALLY BURN CLUTCH SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS AS IF IN NEUTRAL. IF ANY ACCELERATION IS ADDED CAR WILL REV AS IF IN NEUTRAL. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS 20-30% OF THE TIME AND APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. WHEN BRAKING TO A STOP THE CLUTCH BURNS 20-30% OF THE TIME WHEN DOWN SHIFTING AND FILLS CAB WITH SMOKE. AT COMPLETE STOP ENTERED DRIVE AND LET OFF OF BRAKE. ENGINE ACCELERATED TO 3K RPM'S THEN GRINDED GEARS TRYING TO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO THE APPROPRIATE GEAR. AFTER GRINDING ABRUPTLY GRABBED GEAR AND FUNCTIONED AGAIN.

THE PARKING BRAKE HAS FAILED ON TWO OCCASIONS, ONCE WHILE STATIONARY WHEN IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT CRASHED INTO A CAR IN THEIR PARKING LOT IN 2016. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP IN 2015-2016 THIRTEEN TIMES FOR OIL LEAKS AND THE ENGINE EITHER DYING OR ALMOST SEIZING WHILE IN MOTION. THIS RESULTED IN MY VEHICLE STARTING ON FIRE IN LATE 2016 EARLY 2017. THE REPAIR FOR THE FIRE DAMAGE WAS COVERED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY FIXED BY A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AFTER THAT. MORE RECENTLY, IT WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ROLLED INTO MY TRUCK AND DAMAGED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE'S BUMPER WHILE STATIONARY WITH THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. THE SYMPTOMS WITH THE ENGINE HAVE ALSO STARTED TO REAPPEAR WHILE IN MOTION IN 3RD OR 4TH GEAR... IT STARTS TO ACT LIKE IT'S GOING TO COMPLETELY DIE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAVE IT BACK IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS. SOME OF THE RECALLS LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE SOUND LIKE THINGS I HAVE EXPERIENCED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO. MY TIME IS THE MAIN THING I CARE ABOUT AT THIS POINT AND DON'T WANT TO SPEND ANOTHER 2 YEARS ENDLESSLY IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP. I JUST WANT A CAR THAT OPERATES NORMALLY.

MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ALMOST ANY SPEED; AT TIMES WHEN I HIT A HARD BUMP, OR MAKE HARD TURNS, AND EVEN WHEN IDLING AT TIMES AS WELL. RPMS SHOOT TO ZERO AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF LEAVING YOU ONLY ABLE TO STEER...I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP AT LEAST TWICE FOR THE ISSUE SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND EACH TIME WHATEVER IT IS SEEMS TO BE FIXED UNTIL A FEW WEEKS/MONTHS LATER WHEN IT ENDS UP HAPPENING AGAIN. THE LATEST TIME WAS 04/08/19 ON MY WAY TO WORK IN THE MORNING WHEN I WAS MERGING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY; AT ABOUT 40MPH THE CAR STALLED AND THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK.

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART AERO 6 SPEED MANUAL, DUAL DRY CLUTCH, MULTI AIR TURBO. I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2017. 4 MONTHS LATER I HAD BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO CARSENSE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. MEANWHILE I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES ALSO DUE TO BRAKING ISSUES AND MY EBRAKE WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN. IT WORKED WHEN IT WANTED TO, BUT YET EVERYTHING IS IN "GREAT CONDITION" SAYS CARSENCE.MIND YOU THAT I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY AND IT WAS RECENTLY INSPECTED IN JANUARY 2017. SERVICE DEPT. INSPECTED MY BRAKES AND GAVE ME THE CURRENT MEASUREMENTS OF EXISTING BRAKE PADS LEFT. ABOUT JUNE 2018 I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN IN A 25 MPH SIDE STREET WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC. I HAD TROUBLE SLOWING DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN I MANAGED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP I HEARD A LOUD BANG. HERE MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR ROTOR WAS SEVERELY SMOKING AND I NOTICED MY ROTOR WAS REDHOT. MY ROTOR SNAPPED COMPLETELY IN HALF. MY SHIFTER WOULD RANDOMLY POP OUT OF GEAR OR THE CLUTCH WOULD LIGHTLY STICK, SMELLING EXHAUST ODOR I'M NOW PUSHING 62, 000 MILES AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW. I AM COMING HOME INTO MY DEVELOPMENT. I'M IN SECOND GEAR TURNING ONTO MY LANE AND DOING MAYBE 10 MPH WELL IT DECIDES TO POP OUT OF GEAR AND ACCELERATES, REDLINING SECOND GEAR(I'M ASSUMING IT THINKS IT'S IN SECOND) AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE FLASHING STEERING WHEEL IT LOCKED. CAR IS NOW DOING 80 MPH IN A 15 MPH ZONE. MY BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL BRAKE PEDAL IS HARDER THAN HARD. I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE!! ENGINE FINALLY CUTS OUT AFTER I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. COMES TO A SCREECHING HALT. THANK GOD. IT WONT START STILL TO THIS DAY..OIL IN TURBO AND UP THE HOSE. BATTERY PLAYS DEAD ALONG WITH MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AND MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS A COMPUTER UPGRADE THAT'S NOT EVEN AVAILABLE FOR THE 1.4L TURBO ENGINE...IT NEEDS A TCM, NEW MASTER CYLINDER.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I FIRST STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR IN 2017 MY CAR WOULD OVERHEAT AND SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK IT INTO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS MY BATTERY AFTER THAT I HAD THEM CHANGE THE BATTERY. AFTER MAYBE A DAY I WENT TO WORK AND THE CAR SHUT OFF ON ME AGAIN. I THEN GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND THE CAR WORKED GOOD FOR A FEW MONTHS UNTIL I CAME UPON THE PROBLEM AGAIN THE CAR SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS THE OIL BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENS I CHANGE MY OIL AND THE CAR IS FINE AFTER. I CHANGED MY OIL RECENTLY AND MY CAR IS STILL EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THE BATTERY LIGHT TURNS ON AND IT IS A HASSLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON. I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME CAR AS ME IT IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD TO BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH MY CAR ESPECIALLY SINCE I KEEP UP WITH THE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND IT ONLY HAS AROUND 40,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

CLUTCH RATTLES AND VIBRATES. I ALREADY REPLACED IT AT MY COST SINCE REFUSED TO COVER TRANSMISSION CLUTCH IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. CAR HAS 51K MILES. REPLACED WERE THE CLUTCH, CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE , SLAVE CYLINDER, THROW OUT BEARING, DETERIORATING MASTER CYLINDER TO THE SLAVE CYLINDER WAS EXCESSIVE FOR THE MILEAGE AND WEAR ON THE CAR.

THE CLUTCH GETS STUCK ON THE FLOOR AND I'M UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I'VE BEEN STUCK IN MY DRIVE WAY BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THE GEAR INTO THE REVERSE POSITION. SAME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC WHERE I'M STUCK BECAUSE I CAN GET THE GEAR INTO FIRST TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD. ONCE I DO GET THE GEAR TO GO THE CAR SHOOTS FORWARD DANGEROUSLY. THERE IS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE UP A HILL THE CAR CAN BARELY MOVE AND THE RPMS GO HIGHER YET THERE'S NO POWER.

MY CLUTCH HAS FALLEN TO THE FLOOR. CANNOT SHIFT. CANNOT CHECK FLUID LEVELS BECAUSE THERE IS NO ACCESS. APPARENTLY THERE IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THIS ISSUE BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED, THEREFORE I AM UNABLE TO GET ANY HELP FIXING THIS. FIRST START UP IN THE MORNING. CLUTCH WAS FINE THE NIGHT BEFORE. CLUTCH IS LAYING AGAINST THE FLOOR, BASICALLY USELESS.

SERVICE BRAKES
OVER THE PAST MONTH, BRAKING ACTION IS DECLINING. THEY HAVE BECOME STIFF AND MUST BE DEPRESSED QUITE HARD TO STOP. THE BRAKE PADS, UPON INSPECTION, ARE ALMOST BRAND NEW AND THERE IS NO GRINDING. SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE SUGGESTED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AS A POSSIBLE ISSUE. UPON MY OWN RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THOUSANDS OF 2013-2014 DODGE DARTS WERE RECALLED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER, ALTHOUGH THE 2015 HAS NOT. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT EVENTUALLY, THE BRAKES WILL WORSEN OR FAIL AS HAS HAPPENED WITH MANY OTHERS WHO OWN THIS SAME VEHICLE, AS WRITTEN ON SEVERAL INTERNET FORUMS.

AIR BAGS
ON 3/7/2019, I TOTALED MY CAR AS I WAS T-BONED. THIS ACCIDENT BROKE MY AXLE, AND DENTED IN MY DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD NOT OPEN IT. MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACKSEAT AND SMACKED HER FACE OFF OF THE SEAT AND WINDOW BRUISING THE WHOLE SIDE OF HER FACE AND GIVING HER A BLACK EYE. FOR SOME REASON, NO AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. I WAS HOPEFUL AT FIRST, THAT MAYBE IT DIDN'T DEPLOY SINCE IT WAS A "SMALL" ACCIDENT, BUT NOW THAT THE CAR IS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS, I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS SITUATION. WHEN I WAS T-BONED, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A STOP SIGN (AFTER MAKING MY STOP) TO WHICH I DID NOT SEE A CAR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A CAR TURNING TOWARDS ME. THIS CAR WAS GOING APPROX 30-40 MPH (IF FOLLOWING STREET SIGNS). THIS CAR'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, YET MY DAUGHTERS, ON HER DOOR, FAILED TO DEPLOY. THIS CAR DID NOT HIT ME UNTIL I WAS ALMOST TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. I ALSO SAW HER AT THE LAST MINUTE AND INSTEAD OF BREAKING (A NORMAL REACTION) I TRIED TO SPEED UP TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. IF THE SAFETY INFORMATION ONLINE IS CORRECT, IT STATES THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR FOR THE SIDE-REAR IMPACT IS BETWEEN THE TIRE AND THE REAR DOOR, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHERE I WAS HIT.
