THERE IS HEAT THAT CONSISTENTLY EMANATES INTO THE CAR FROM THE AREA WHERE THE WIRING HARNESS OR FUSE BOX WOULD BE. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND MECHANICS CONTINUE TO SAY THAT THE FUSE BOX IS FINE BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE HARNESS. THE PROBLEMS IS SO BAD THAT THE HEAT OVER TIME HAS LED TO BAD PAINT DAMAGE TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE PAINT IS COMPLETELY DULL. THE DISCOLORATION IS BEYOND OBVIOUS AND NOTICEABLE. THE HEAT BEGINS TO BE A PROBLEM ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING IT ON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON APRIL 17, 2019, WHEN ARRIVING AT DESTINATION, I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT GEARS INTO PARK. HOWEVER, GEARS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE PERMANENTLY. I CALLED MY SIBLINGS TO ASSIST WITH GETTING THE CAR OUT OF REVERSE, THE HANDLE WOULD MOVE BUT THE GEARS WOULD NOT CHANGE. THE ONLY WAY WE COULD GET THE CAR TO STOP WAS WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK. WE TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, BUT ALL LIGHTS STAYED ON AND WE COULD NOT REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE KEY OUT WAS TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER THE FOLLOWING DAY ON APRIL 18TH, AND THEY ADVISED OF A RECALL FOR SHIFT CABLE BUSHING. I ASKED HOW LONG THE PROCESS WOULD TAKE, THEY STATED THEY WOULD MAIL A LETTER TO ADVISE HOW TO SET UP APPOINTMENT, THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER PARTS. I CALLED BACK ON APRIL 25TH TO INQUIRE ONCE AGAIN ABOUT HOW LONG THE PROCESS USUALLY TAKES, AND THEY DID NOT ADVISE OF A TIME FRAME. I ADVISED THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN AT ALL, AND ASKED IF I WERE TO GET A RENTAL CAR OR GET MY CAR FIXED MYSELF WOULD I BE REIMBURSED. THE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED THAT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE. I'VE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER ONCE AGAIN ON MAY 8, 2019. REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED THAT THE PART HAS STILL NOT BEEN ORDERED AND THERE IS NO ESTIMATED TIME.

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.

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.

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.
