SERVICE BRAKES
THE 2013 DODGE DART HAS ISSUES WITH THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS. WHEN I DISENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE THE REAR CALIPERS DO NOT RELEASE PRESSURE CAUSING THE REAR BRAKES TO DRAG. THIS IS NOT ONLY MY VEHICLE, I HAVE READ ONLINE PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. FOR ME TO FIX THIS PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO GET NEW REAR CALIPERS. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE CALIPER IS A SPRING WHICH THE PARKING BRAKE CONNECTS TO I HAD TO DISENGAGE THIS MYSELF. CAUSING ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO USE MY PARKING BRAKE.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2013 DART HAS STARTED HAVING BREAKING ISSUES RECENTLY, YEAR 2013-2016 DARTS HAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE ASSIST IN THE PAST, AND MY ISSUES ARE VERY SIMILAR. WHEN STOPED AT A REDLIGHT, MY CAR CONTINUES TO ROLL FORWARD SLOWLY, ENOUGH THAT I HAVE TO PUSH BRAKE PEDAL COMPLETELY DOWN. AND IT TAKES A LOT LONGER AND MORE DISTANCE TO SLOW DOWN FAST AND SAFELY, IT'S ALMOST CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS , AND HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN A FEW RED LIGHTS TO AVOID STOPPING LATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, WHICH I FEEL IS UNSAFE , ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE MY 3 KIDS WITH ME.

POWER TRAIN
THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED UNDER WARRANTY ON AUGUST 29, 2013. MARCH 13, 2015 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD NOTED THAT SEVERAL MODULES HAVE STORED CODE FOR LOST COMMUNICATIONS WITH TCM MODULE U0101-00. PCM NEEDED FLASH UPDATE WHICH WAS DONE. TCM WAS REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 2018. WE THEN HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHIFTING INTO GEAR WHEN LEAVING PARKED POSITION. COULD NOT REVERSE OR GO FORWARD. WE COULD PHYSICALLY PUT IT INTO GEAR BUT THE CAR ITSELF WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. IT THEN WENT INTO LIMP MODE. ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 26 IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE PARKED. WE DROVE IT TO CROWFOOT DODGE ON MONDAY, AUGUST 27. AS WE WERE BRINGING IT IN THE CAR WENT TO LIMP MODE AS DRIVING. SO WE LEFT IT WHERE IT STOPPED. WE CALLED THE DODGE MECHANIC AND HE TOLD US THAT HE THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PART BUT IT SHOULD BE FIXED ON WEDNESDAY. THE PART WAS NOT THERE ON WEDNESDAY NOR THURSDAY. WE THEN CALLED ON FRIDAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND THE CAR STILL HAD SOME INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ON THE STATEMENT THEY WROTE THAT THE ACTUATOR FOR 1 CLUTCH AND 3 WAS FAULTY AND BECAUSE IT WAS INTEGRATED INTO THE TRANSMISSION THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO REPLACED FOR $11,000. THIS CAR'S WARRANTY EXPIRED ON JUNE 29, 2018 AND 140,000 KM'S CURRENT READ. AS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY WHILE WE WERE STILL IN WARRANTY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
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.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
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.
