POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE INTO ELK GROVE DODGE 4 TIMES FOR THE TRANSMISSION SAFETY RECALL. EACH TIME THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT. JUNE 15, 2018 WAS THE LAST TIME THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. ELK GROVE DODGE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION.WITH APPROXIMATELY 59,893 MILES ON THE CAR. APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MONTHS AGO 6 MONTHS LATER I WAS ON THE FREE WAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR AND WENT INTO NEUTRAL. I THEN LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE CENTER DIVIDE. I CONTACTED ELK GROVE DODGE WHEN I FINALLY GOT HOME WITH THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED ME THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY EVEN IF IT WAS UNDER SAFETY RECALL. I CONTACTED DODGE RESOLUTIONS DEPT. SPOKE TO A GUY BY THE NAME OF CHANCE. THIS GUY IS TAKING HIS DEAR SWEET TIME IN HELPING ME. THIS VEHICLE IS A LEMON AND CHRYSLER IS STARTING TO REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR IS STALLING AND CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. GOT AN OIL CHANGE. CAR DOESN'T REACT TO PUSHING ON ACCELERATOR. RPM REV AFTER HESITATING WITH FOOT ON THE GAS. CAR IS SHAKING AND RUNNING REALLY HARD. I BELIEVE ITS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, WHICH IS COMMON IN DODGE DARTS. ITS BEEN RECALLED, BUT NOT ON MY MODEL. STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. HAD TO RESTART CAR 3 TIMES.

MY DAUGHTER JUST PURCHASED A 2013 DODGE DART 4 MONTHS AGO AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS ALREADY BEEN FAILING. I KNOW SEVERAL OTHER 2013 DODGE DARTS HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS AND UNFORTUNATELY MY DAUGHTERS CAR HAS NOT BUT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THEY WONT PAY FOR IT WITHOUT THE RECALL ON THAT VIN # . I THINK IF THERE IS A DEFECT ON THESE 2013 DARTS THEY ALL SHOULD BE RECALLED

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
BATTERY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS DUE TO SOMETHING DRAINING THE BATTERY BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND. ELECTRICAL IS ALL MESSED UP, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. WHEN CAR IS TURNED ON AT RANDOMLY THE AIR AND MUSIC WILL GO FULL BLAST AND IT CANNOT BE TURNED DOWN OR SHUT OFF. MECHANICALLY THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE BUT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE MOVES UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING STILL DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. WHEN DRIVING ON NORMAL BACKROADS OR HIGHWAYS THERE IS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA AND NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND AS TO WHY IT MAKES THE NOISE.

WHEN MY OIL IS LOW, THERE IS NO WARNING ON DASH, MY CAR JUST SHUTS OFF. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FEW DEALERSHIPS IN SOUTH JERSEY AND THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE DODGE DARTS. IF MY HUSBAND WAS NOT A MECHANIC AND CHANGED OIL EARLY, I WOULD HAVE THIS ISSUE EVERY TIME!

I HAVE A 2016 DODGE DART WITH 63K ON IT. MY 16 YEAR OLD DRIVES IT AND THREE DAYS AGO SHE IS PULLING OUT SCHOOL AND THE CAR CUTS OFF. SHE HAS HAVE IT JUMPED WE TAKE IT TO GET BATTERY CHECKED AND ALTERNATOR. IT SHOWS BATTERY IS NO GOOD SO WE REPLACE BATTERY. THE NEXT MORNING AND SHE ON WAY TO WORK AND IT CUTS OFF AGAIN SO WE GET IT RUNNING AND DRIVE IT AROUND AND CUTS OFF TWICE MORE. I CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY TEST IT AND TELL ME IT IS 2 QUARTS LOW ON OIL AND IT WILL CUT OFF. WE HAVE HAD NO INDICATOR LIGHT THAT OIL WAS LOW THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED LESS THEN TWO MONTHS AGAIN. THEY GO TO SAY WE CAN REQUEST A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN 500 MILES AND PROCEED TO GIVE ME SERVICE BULLETIN ON OIL CONSUMPTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WHAT IF WE ARE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND IT JUST CUTS OFF! I ASK WHY IT'S BURNING OIL IF IT'S OIL LEAK AND THEY SAY THERE NO LEAK BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE OIL IS GOING AND IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM IN DARTS TO CHECK OIL EVERY 500 MILES.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE APPROVED FOR RECALL CONCERNING (MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH) WHICH IS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROLLER AS ITS COMMUNICATING CABLES ARE TOO FRAGILE TO WORK UNDER REGULAR TURNING SIGNAL USAGE AS CABLE WITHIN COMPONENT GETS PULLED BY IT'S OWN REGULAR MOTION AT USAGE. THIS CAUSES THE CABLES WITHIN THE SWITCH TO GET CUT AND BROKEN MAKING IT TO BREAK COMPLETELY. BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT BEING PRODUCED BY MOPAR THE PART IS NOT FOUND AS DODGE DEALERS MAKE YOU WAIT IN LINE NEXT TO 400 OTHER DODGE DRIVER OWNERS IN ORDER TO GET THE PART (WHEN THEY START PRODUCING THE PART) WHICH THERE HAS BEEN NO CONFIRMATION OF BEING PRODUCED BY MOPAR.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IT APPEARS THERE IS AN ALARMING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN I START THE CAR AT DEGREES LOWER THAN 40. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE BUT WHEN IT OCCURS I LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD RESULTING IN MY RPM'S TO JUMP HIGHER THAN NORMAL ACCOMPANIED BY VIBRATION AND RATALING COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OR TIRE (ITS HARD TO TELL) . FROM MY RESEARCH, THE COLD START ISSUE WAS A RECALL FOR 2013 DODGE DART BUT IT IS NOT SHOWING FOR MY VIN. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME REGUARDING THIS COMPLAINT??
