I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED AT ALL ON MY RECALLS. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL THINGS I'VE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP ON AND I THOUGHT IT HAD BEEN FIXED NOT KNOWING IT WAS A RECALL. BUT IT IS NOT FIXED. MY TRANSMISSION WON'T LET ME PUT CAR IN REVERSE VERY EASY. MY CAR ENGINE RPMS GET HIGHER WHEN I APPROACH TO STOP. IT ACTS LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL ST TIMES LIKE IT CUTS OUT. MY BLUETOOTH IS HARD TO CONNECT. MY FRONT DRIVER TIRE HAS WORE OUT 2 SIDE WALLS TIRES BUT HAS NEVER WENT FLAT BUT NEVER SHOWS IT'S VERY LOW BUT IT IS NEVER THE SAME AS OTHERS. MY CAR FRONT DRIVER MAKES A NOISE LIKE SUSPENSION IS MESSED UP AND IT'S VERY ROUGH RIDING. I NO LONGER GET GOOD GAS MILEAGE. WHEN I GO TO PARK MY CAR IT WANTS TO ROLL AFT ERR BEING PUT IN PARK. THE BREAKS ARE VERY TOUCHY. BARELY GRAZE THE PEDAL AND YOU'LL HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. I WANTED A NEW CAR ALL MY LIFE AND AFTER 35 YEARS I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET ONE AND I'M STILL IN THE SAME POSITION AS BEFORE. PLEASE HELP ON WHAT TO-DO CONSIDERING I'VE YET TO EVEN RECEIVE ANYTHING ABOUT MY CAR HAVING ANY RECALL. AND I'VE GOT 2 KIDS THAT I'M RAISING ALONE ANDI'M IT SAYS CAN CAUSE ACCIDENT WHY CAN'T I GET A REPLACEMENT CAR TILL THEY GET THE PARTS TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE. I'M VERY UNHAPPY

RENTAL CAR DODGE DART, RENTED ON 11/23. NOT SURE WHAT MODEL YEAR IT WAS. THE IGNITION SWITCH SHUT OFF TWICE OVER FOUR HOURS OF DRIVING IT. ONCE AS I WAS PARKING IN A PARKING SPOT AND ONCE WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 70MPH. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TRIED TO SEE WHAT CAUSED IT TO SHUT OFF AND NOTICED THAT MY KNEE WAS TOUCHING THE EXTRA KEY ON THE KEY RING, WHICH PUT A SLIGHT BIT OF PRESSURE ON THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, CAUSING THE IGNITION TO TURN OFF QUITE EASILY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED WHILE DRIVING, AND THAT THE HIGHWAY WAS NOT CURVED. OTHERWISE, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. HERE IS A VIDEO I RECORDED WHERE I REPRODUCED THE CONDITIONS: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=1L6PCZHWRRG

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, I HAD MY FOOT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BREAK POPPED BACK OUT AND PUSHED MY FOOT BACKWARD. I MOVED SLOWLY. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE ONLY TO HEAR A SOUND OF AIR BEING RELEASED. I HAD TO DRIVE 10 MPH SO THAT I COULD ENSURE PROPER STOPPING TIME BECAUSE THE BRAKE WAS LITERALLY USELESS.

WHERE/HOW DO WE REPORT THIS AND GET THE ISSUE FIXED. YEP. JUST THE AIR BAGS INFLATING COULD KILL US EASILY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE FIRST TIME MY BREAKS WENT OUT I WAS SITTING IN A DRIVE THRU AND WE HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND THE BREAKS BECAME HARD TO PUSH DOWN. IT TOOK LONGER TO STOP DRIVING HOME TO BE TOWED. THE SECOND TIME THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT WE WERE DRIVING THIS TIME AND WITH THIS ONE THE TRACTION CONTROL ALSO WENT OUT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 9 MONTHS THAT I HAVE HAD MY BREAK SYSTEM REPLACED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE SEEING AS THOUGH I HAD NO BREAKS TO STOP. I DRIVE LONG DISTANCES FOR WORK ON MAJOR FREEWAYS THAT ARE VERY BUSY IN THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT AND HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON ONE OF THOSE FREEWAYS, SOMEONE WOULD LIKELY HAVE DIED OR AT THE VERY LEAST BEEN SEVERELY INJURED. THIS IS UNCALLED FOR.
