POWER TRAIN
NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 19V-293. THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING ON THE TRANSMISSION END OF THE SHIFTER CABLE WHICH CAN DETERIORATE AND BECOME DETACHED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THAT MY WIFE WAS STUCK AND COULD NOT MOVE DO TO THIS RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER HAVE SAID, THIS RECALL DOES NOT HAVE A FIX DATE I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT OCTOBER WOULD BE THE DATE. MY WIFE IS IN FEAR FOR HERSELF AND OUR KIDS. DODGE HAS NOT OFFERED ANYTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. WE ARE TRAVELING IN 2 WEEKS AND NOW HAVE TO SPEND OUR VACATION MONEY TO RENT A RELIABLE CAR? THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN A COMPANY FIX AN ISSUE TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFE. THIS IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF YOU SEARCH ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AND RECALL SINCE 2013? 6 YEARS CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS AND YET REFUSE TO COMPENSATE THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH ANYTHING TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. THIS IS SICKENING TO ME. THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE AND CAME TO A STOP, SHE SHIFTED THE GEAR TO GO IN DRIVE AND NOTHING. THE GEAR SHIFTER WILL GO FORWARD AND BACKWARDS WITHOUT ENGAGING THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER FIGURING OUT ABOUT THE RECALL. WE HAD TO POP THE HOOD. PUT MY HAND BY THE ENGINE WHERE IT'S HOT, AND POP THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER BACK ONTO THE TRANSMISSION PLATE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. A THIRD DEGREE BURN WILL CAUSE A LAWSUIT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UPON DRIVING A FEW MONTHS AFTER GETTING THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED IT WAS BURNING OIL RATHER FLUENTLY. WHEN TURNING CORNERS WHILE DRIVING IT WOULD SHUT OF AND I'D HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT TEN MINUTES AND IT WITHHOLD TURN ON LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER ADDING MORE OIL IT WOULD OPERATE A BIT BETTER. THEN THE THROTTLE SYSTEM KICKED OUT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. I PULLED OVER FOR SAFETY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER RESTARTING IT I LEARNED THE THROTTLE BODY SYSTEM WAS BAD. I INITIALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS UNTIL AFTER RESEARCHING THE VEHICLE AND IT'S FUNCTIONS...I CANNOT GET SPEED GOING UP HILL AND CANNOT REACH DOES IF MORE THAN 40-45MPH.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
