STEERING, WHEELS, TIRES
WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL STREET (UNDER 30 MILES AN HOUR), I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND THE TIRE EXPLODED. I TRIED TO REGAIN CONTROL AND THE CAR JUMPED THE CURB. MY DAUGHTERS AND I WAS SHAKEN UP REALLY BAD. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGH WAY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY. I HAVE THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATING IT NOW. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE BRAKES SOUNDED AS IF AIR WERE PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS PRESSURE IN THE PEDAL. I WAS HEADING INTO A CURVE AND COULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I HAD TO PULL THE E BRAKE AND ENDED UP SLIDING INTO A 180 AND SLID OFF THE ROAD. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE! THIS NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO DODGES' ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY! I AM AFRAID OF WHAT THE COST IS TO FIX THIS AND I DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO WORK NOW! THE INFORMATION CENTER ON THE DASHBOARD SAYS "ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYTEM NEEDS TO BE SERVICED". THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM LUCKY I DID NOT GET KILLED OR KILL ANYONE ELSE!

WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AT NIGHT, WHICH HAD A SPEED LIMIT MARKED AT 25 MILES PER HOUR. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF POTHOLES THAT I NOTICED SO I DECREASED MY SPEED AND WAS GOING BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MILES PER HOUR TRYING TO AVOID ANY THAT I SAW. I ENDED UP HITTING ONE WHICH WAS UNAVOIDABLE, AND HARD TO SEE SINCE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT NIGHT; I WAS GOING APPROX. 20 MILES PER HOUR (5 UNDER THE RECOMMENDED SPEED). WHEN THE CAR HIT THE POTHOLE THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE POPPED, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE SIDEWALL HAD BEEN BLOWN OUT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME TIRE HAD A SIDEWALL BLOWOUT AGAIN AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE, ONCE AGAIN AT NIGHT TIME WHILE GOING 35 MILES PER HOUR ON A ROAD THAT WAS MARKED 35 MILES PER HOUR, THE RIM WAS ALSO DAMAGED IN THIS INCIDENT. ANOTHER INCIDENT RECENTLY HAPPENED EARLIER IN JUNE 2015 WHERE I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND DRIVING APPROX. 35 MILES PER HOUR AND WHEN I TURNED MY HEAD BACK AROUND THE POTHOLE HAD ALREADY BEEN UNAVOIDABLE, THIS TIME IT WAS THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THIS RIM WAS ALSO DAMAGED DURING THE INCIDENT, AND A WEEK AFTER I RECEIVED MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN MY TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HAD WENT OUT. I HAD NOT HIT ANY HOLES, I WAS JUST CASUALLY DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN LATE JANUARY 2015, AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE SAME ROADS AS MY OLD CAR WHICH WAS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY BLOWOUTS OR INCIDENTS WITH THE HONDA, YET THIS 2015 DODGE DART HAS A BLOWOUT WITH THE SLIGHTEST POTHOLE ENCOUNTER.

DESDE QUE COMPRE EL AUTO COMPLETAMENTE NUEVO, COMENC A RECIBIR RECALLS. MS ADELANTE Y POR DOS OCASIONES EL CARRO NO PRENDIA. LO LLEVE EN MLTIPLES OCASIONES AL DEALER Y SEGN ESTOS, EL AUTO NO REFLEJABA NADA, TODO SALA BIEN. EN LA PRIMERA OCASIN AL PRENDER EL AUTO, HIZO UN RUIDO ESPANTOSO Y LUEGO, LO APAGU. AL TRATAR DE PRENDERLO, NO RESPONDIO. LLAME A SERVICIO EN LA CARRETERA Y ENVIARON UNAS PERSONAS PARA QUE LE DIERAN CARGA A LA BATERIA. LA 2DA VEZ, CARGA A LA BATERIA. ES MI OPININ, ESE NO ERA EL PROBLEMA. HOY HACE 3 SEMANAS EL AUTO ESTA EN EL TALLER DEL DEALER, PORQUE SUPUESTAMENTE TIENE LA COMPUTADORA QUE CONTROLA LA TRASMISIN DAADA. PARA MI EL AUTO NO SIRVE. QUISIERA UNA INVESTIGACIN. NO DESEO SEGUIR PAGANDO POR UN VEHCULO QUE NO ME DA NINGUNA SEGURIDAD. GRACIAS! ...UPDATED 08-06/15 *BF UPDATED 10/26/2017*CN

POWER TRAIN
I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH TO START THE ENGINE AND WHEN IT STARTED THE CAR BEGAN TO MOVE EVEN THOUGH THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS FULLY DEPRESSED. I HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF TO STOP THE CAR FROM MOVING AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL REMAINED ON THE FLOOR. AFTER A FEW MORE ATTEMPTS IT STARTED TO WORK CORRECTLY. IT NOW DOES THIS EVERY TIME IT IS PARKED FOR A FEW HOURS. VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WENT AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR. CAR WOULD NOT START. IT WAS LIKE THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT ENGAGE. RELEASED THE CLUTCH AND RE-ENGAGED, AND IT STARTED. DURING SHIFTS, IT DIDNT WANT TO GO INTO 3 OR 6TH GEARS. IT WAS LIKE THE CLUTCH IS NOT ENGAGING ONCE AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT, PERFORMANCE DODGE, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE ISSUE BUT CHRYSLER STAR WILL NOT FIX IT. I ASKED HOW CAN THEY KNOW THAT THE CLUTCH HAS ISSUES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT. THE EMPLOYEE INFORMED ME THAT THEY ALL ARE LIKE THIS. CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE CLUTCH ISSUES DUE TO ALL THE COMPLAINTS, BUT THEY STILL RISK THE LIVES OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BY NOT REPLACING THE CLUTCH. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY WINDOWS NOT ROLLING UP OR DOWN AND THE RADIO KEEPS RESETTING ITSELF. THEY DO UPDATES, BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE RADIO ISSUE. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT FOR THE UPDATE, THE UPDATE WOULDNT EVEN LOAD TO FIX THE ISSUE. HOW CAN A COMPANY KNOW OF ISSUES BUT REFUSE TO FIX THEM?
