ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WENT TO GET IN MY CAR AND THE ALARM SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND IT WILL NOT START. ALSO THE MOTOR CONSUMES OIL AT AN ALARMING PACE TO THE POINT I HAVE TO TAKE OIL WITH ME WHEN I GO ANYWHERE. BECAUSE IF I DON'T IT WILL GET LOW AND THE CAR WILL LOSE ALL POWER WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE KIDS. CAR STILL WILL NOT START

SERVICE BRAKES
THE PARKING BRAKE KEEPS FAILING UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT AROUND 32,000 MILES FOR A STICKING REAR BRAKE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER WAS DEFECTIVE. AFTER JUMPING THROUGH A FEW HOOPS, IT WAS REPAIRED. NOW AT 39,000 MILES IT'S DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN, IN ADDITION THE LEFT REAR CALIPER STARTED STICKING. ON MY 3 MILE DRIVE HOME FROM WORK RIGHT AFTER THE SYMPTOMS OF EXTENDED PARKING BRAKE HANDLE TRAVEL FOR PROPER ENGAGEMENT STARTED. I PULL IN MY DRIVEWAY AND MY REAR ROTORS ARE GLOWING. THERE WAS NO SMEL OF HOT BRAKE COMPONENTS AT ALL. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE PARKING BRAKE WORKS ON A STANDARD TRANSMISSION CAR, TO PREVENT ROLL SWAYS. LEAVING IT IN GEAR IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ENOUGH.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED UNDER THE RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILURE ALTHOUGH IT DID SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BE INOPERABLE. IF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL, IT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY BEING SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, AFTER THE SHIFTER WAS MOVED THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY MOVED INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITON AND WOULD NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN IN ORDER TO PARK IT. THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE WAS PULLED IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STATIONARY AND THE ENTIRE SIDE OF THE CAR WHERE THE ISSUE WAS HAD TO BE REMOVED, I.E THE BATTERY AND THE COMPARTMENT THAT HOLDS THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE FAULTY PART AND TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE AND INSTALL A NEW PART. MY VEHICLE HOWEVER DID THIS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY SHIFT BUSHING PART THAT HAS WITHERED AWAY AFTER ONLY 4 YEARS. THE CABLE UNEXPECTEDLY RELEASED ITSELF FROM THE BUSHING.

I HAVE A 2016 DODGE DART WITH A 2.4 LITER ENGINE. THE CAR HAS 16000 MILES ON IT. STARTING THIS WEEK, THE CAR SOMETIMES WILL NOT START. I WOULD PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, TURN TO START AND NOTHING. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON BUT IT WON'T TURN OVER. I FOUND OUT BY ACCIDENT IF YOU MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER THROUGH THE GEARS IT WILL START. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS MY FOB NEEDED A BATTERY REPLACEMENT, SO I REPLACED IT ONLY TO SEE THAT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM!
