VISIBILITY/WIPER
IT WAS RAIN AND TURNED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON. WHEN I GOT HOME I WENT TO TURN THE WIPERS OFF THEY WOULD NOT STOP I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE WANT $800.00 TO REPLACE THE PART CAN BE FOUND ONLINE FOR WAY CHEAPER. THIS IS AN INSANE COST FOR A CAR WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL DONE ON THIS PROBLEM. DODGE HAD MADE A LEMON OF CAR. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH IT.

I PULLED MY 2013 DODGE DART IN TO A PARKING SPOT AND WENT TO PUT IT IN PARK BUT IT WOULD NOT SHIFT, I COULD NOT GET THE KEY OUT EITHER, WHEN I WENT TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG THE TRANSMISSION LINK CABLE WAS DISCONNECTED UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE PIN THE CONNECTS IT FELL OUT THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO SHIF THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I SEE THIS YET ANOTHER COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. AND A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHY HASN'T DODGE BEEN FORCE TO RECALL THIS AND FOX THE PROBLEMS.

ENGINE
I PURCHASED A 2015 DODGE DART 3/19/18 FROM A DEALERSHIP. I JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGE DONE WHICH WAS RECOMMENDED. THE CAR JUST RECENTLY STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON. WE CHECKED THE BATTERY (WHICH WAS A YEAR OLD) AND THE ALTERNATOR AND THEY WERE FINE. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO CHECK IT OUT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT AT AND THEY SAID IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS. NEVER DID THEY MENTION THE OIL BEING THE ISSUE. I GET A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE BECAUSE THE OIL WAS LOW THE CAR WILL STALE TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. FIRST OF ALL, IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD IF THIS CAN RANDOMLY STALL, AND SECOND NO LIGHTS CAME ON FOR THE WARNING. THE CARS METERS SHOWED THAT THE OIL QUALITY WAS AT 85% AND GOOD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT PERTAINS TO THIS CAR STALLING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN THE LAST 4 WEEKS, WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR HAS DISPLAYED A "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" ERROR AND "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE ERROR." THE FIRST TIME WAS ON I-10 AND IT OCCURRED AND I HAD TO PULL ON THE SIDE OR THE INTERSTATE. MY CARD WAS IN D, BUT IT WOULD NOT DRIVE OR REVERSE. I TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT CRANK SAME SERVICE MESSAGES ABOVE POPPED UP. AFTER SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE FOR 20 MINS, I TURNED IT BACK OK AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GO ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK TO MY HOTEL ROOM. THE MESSAGE DISAPPEAR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF, SO THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. YESTERDAY, ON JULY 8, 2018, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 75, GOING ABOUT 65 MPH, AND THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE POPPED UP AGAIN. I HAD TO PULLED TO THE SIDE OR THE INTERSTATE AGAIN, BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE. I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND WAITED FOR 5 MINS AND I WAS ABLE TO EASE BACK TO MY HOME. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE DEALERSHIP STILL CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THOUGH THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEMS, I AM SEEING SEVERAL OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR 2013 MODELS. I'VE FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS EXPLAINING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING AS WELL AS YOUTUBE VIDEOS. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GET DODGE TO DO A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
BEFORE STARTING VEHICLE, CLUTCH PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO FLOOR AND HAS TO BE PULLED BACK UP INTO POSITION. PROBLEM OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. AFTER CLUTCH IS PUMPED A FEW TIMES, IT REGAINS PRESSURE AND IS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 35,000 MILES BUT IS OVER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY. EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL COVER IT WITH A $100 DEDUCTIBLE. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PAY FOR A CLUTCH REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY/ KNOWN ISSUE ON THE MASTER CYLINDER AND HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKING THROUGHOUT CLUTCH COMPONENTS. ALSO HAD THE TURBO AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED AT 20,000 MILES AFTER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND VEHICLE LOST POWER. AT ONE POINT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALMOST ALL POWER WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO I-95 IN WASHINGTON DC, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT TOOK 4 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE RECREATED AND EVENTUALLY FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE STOPPED WORKING AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES BUT I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE AFFECTED BY THE CALIPER RECALL. PAID FOR CALIPER REPLACEMENT OUT OF POCKET. LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, BUT DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME THEY "CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE".

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK@ 0730 HRS, TRAVELING ON I 294 N/B, AT A SPEED OF APPROX 45/50 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. AS I ATTEMPTED TO REDUCE MY SPEED, TO MOVE OUT OF THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. I PULLED THE HAND BREAK UP, WHICH DID NOT RESPOND, I PUSHED IT DOWN AND PULLED IT UP A SECOND TIME, WHICH BARELY SLOWED MY VEHICLE, BUT DID ALLOW ME TO COAST TO A SLOW STOP ON THE SHOULDER. AT THIS TIME, THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND A MAN WHO HAD BEEN TRAVELING BEHIND ME, PULLED OVER TO SAY THAT HE HAD SEEN FLAMES COMING FROM MY TAIL PIPE, BEFORE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BURST INTO FLAME. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911. I WAITED IN THE RAIN FOR ILLINOIS STATE POLICE AND THE FIRE DEPT TO RESPOND. STATE POLICE REPORT#IL 0229900 WAS MADE UPON THE TROOPERS ARRIVAL.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND TRIED TO STOP BUT MUNCH BRAKES DIDN'T WANT TO WORK. IT SOUNDED LIKE AIR WAS COMING OUT WHEN I PUSHED BRAKE PEDAL AND THEN THE PEDAL WAS HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND TRIED TO COME BACK UP WHILE I WAS HOLDING IT DOWN. I'M AT A MECHANICS AND HE THINKS IT THE BRAKE BOOSTER. HE THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT SO I CALLED THE DODGE PLACE IN DOTHAN AL AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAD TO DRIVE SLOW ALL THE WAY HERE. NOW I HAVE NO WAY TO GO TO WORK OR HOME CAUSE MY BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. NOW I'M WAITING TO HAVE I TO FIXED. DODGE SAID IT WOULD BE AROUND $450 OR MORE TO FIX

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY RADIO HAS BLACKED OUT FOR NO REASON. MY MILEAGE ON MY DIGITAL INSTRUMENT PANEL IS FLASHING. WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DODGE DEALER WITH THIS BEING A KNOWN ISSUE, THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $128 DOLLAR DIAGNOSTIC FEE IN WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. I HAVE ASKED BOTH MY MECHANIC AND A RADIO INSTALLER AND THEY BOTH HAVE SAID THAT THE MILEAGE FLASHING IS A CONCERN ALONG WITH THE RADIO BLACKENED OUT. THAT ONE PROBLEM COULD LEAD TO ANOTHER. POSSIBLE CAUSE IS THE CONTROL MODULE FOR THE ENTIRE CAR, WHICH COULD LEAD TO DOOR LOCKS GOING HAYWIRE, THE WIPERS GOING ON AND OFF, ETC. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN YHE RADIO WENT OUT AND THE MILEAGE FLASHING. RADIO USUALLY GOES OUT FOR ABOUT 10 MINS AND COMES BACK ON. BUT NOT THIS TIME.

ENGINE
VEHICLE IS BURNING OIL WAY TO FAST. I GET MY OIL CHANGES FREQUENTLY AND HAVE TO KEEP A BIG BOTTLE IN THE CAR AS EXTRA. THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVING AND JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF IN MOTION. WHEN I ADD MORE OIL THAT CAR CUTS BACK ON. I DON'T HAVE ANY OIL SPOTS WHEN I PARK MY VEHICLE SO I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE THE OIL IS GOING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ARE ON. I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THIS IS AN ISSUE I HAD SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I'M COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED WITH HOW DANGEROUS THIS CAR IS. THIS PROBLEM IS STILL CURRENT TIL THIS DAY 6/6/2018.
