ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH MY 2013 DODGE DART LIMITED. I PURCHASED IT WITH 36,900 MILES ON IT BACK IN JULY OF 2016. HERE WE ARE IN JULY OF 2020 AND THE CAR DOES NOT EVEN HAVE 67,000 MILES ON IT. MY PROBLEM LISTED WAS CREATED ONLY ROUGHLY A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING. THE ENTIRE UCONNECT SYSTEM MAKES MY VEHICLE UNABLE TO OPERATE SAFELY. WHETHER IT'S THE SCREEN GOING BLACK WHERE I CAN NOT CONTROL/CHANGE ANYTHING. THE TOUCH SCREEN IS EVERYTHING VOLUME, HVAC, BLUETOOTH, 'SUPPOSED TO WORK WITH REMOTE START. I HAVE HAD MY CODES CHECKED; CYLINDER 1 MODULE MISFIRE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH AND MY VEHICLE BEING STUCK UNABLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT SIMPLY WOULD NOT START(ACTED LIKE IT WOULD BUT WOULD NOT.) FOR THE ENTIRE WINTER OF 2018. COME SUMMER OF 2019 THE AIR WAS STILL HORRIBLEBUT MY INFANT WAS NOW IN THE VEHICLE. SEEING A POOR NEWBORN HAVE SWEAT ROLLING OFF HIS FACE ON A WAY TO A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT PROBABLY IS WHAT DONE ME IN THE MOST. THIS VEHICLE HAS SOME COOL UCONNECT BELLS AND WHISTLES BUT IT IS LIKE THEY ATTEMPTED TO PUT SOMETHING IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT CAPABLE OF HANDLING ALL THE ADVANCEMENTS. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES.I'VE REPLACED PARTS WITHIN THE HVAC TWICE! NOW MY ODOMETER IS BLINKING; RED FLAG.I AM SERIOUSLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. IT SITS FOR MOST OF THE TIME.IN THE LASR 2 YEARS I'VE MAYBE DRIVEN IT A TOTAL OF 5,000 IF THAT! I HAVE MY CAR ALMOST COMPLETELY PAID OFF AND HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN ABLE TO PUT OVER 31,000 MILES ON IT IN 4 FOUR YEARS!HOW ABSURD AND RIDICULOUS! THE DEALERSHIP ALWAYS WANT TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE MENTIONED THE ISSUES EACH TIME I'VE PAID FOR THEM PREVIOUSLY. THEY JUST HAVE 'QUICK FIX' AS THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME FOR THIS. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER GOING TO COLLEGE THAT CANNOT FINANCIALLY AFFORD ALL THIS! THE CAR RANDOMLY AFTER BEING SHUT DOWN WILL NOT RESTART. BEEN STUCK FOR A COUPLE MONTHS NOW IN THE GARAGE.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER 56,000 MILES. PRIOR TRANSMISSION RELATED RECALL WAS PERFORMED. THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT SOMETHING BROKE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION RENDERING IT UNABLE TO SHIFT. BASED ON THE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS IN VARIOUS DODGE DART FORUMS, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, NOT UNIQUE TO MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE IN A PLACE WHERE I COULD PULL OVER AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE.

I OWN A 2013 DODGE DART AND HAVE SENT IN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND THERE STILL NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF AND WILL NOT GO INTO PARK WITHOUT HAVING TO MESS WITH IT FOR 10 MIN OR MORE AND SOME DAYS I HAVE TO JUST LEAVE THE KEYS IN IT AND DO WHAT I GOTTA DO BECAUSE THE KEYS WONT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN THIS HAPPENS. SO NOT ONLY AM I TAKING RISK OF GETTING MY CAR STOLEN BUT WHAT IF A KID GOT IN THE CAR JUST PLAYING AND STARTED THE CAR , WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN THEN. I HAVE REPORTED THESE ISSUES SO SO SO MANY TIMES AND EVEN SENT IN MORE INFO WHEN NHTSA CONTACTED ME WANTING TO KNOW MORE INFO ABOUT A COMPLAINT I HAD SUBMITTED BUT STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THESE CARS EXCEPT IN CALIFORNIA AND MICHIGAN I BELIEVE AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IF THERE IS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN THOSE STATES FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS OTHERS FROM DIFFERENT STATES ARE HAVING WHY CAN THEY NOT DO A NATIONWIDE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THESE CARS WERE ALL MANUFACTURED FROM THE SAME PLACE SO IT SHOULD NOT MATTER WHAT STATES ARE STRICTER ABOUT THE LEMON LAWS THEN OTHERS WHEN IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THAT MAKES IT SEEM LIKE CERTAIN STATES LIVES MATTER AND SOME STATES DO NOT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD I HAVE REPEATEDLY SENT IN COMPLAINTS TO SO,SO,SO MANY SAFETY SITES AND ALL VEHICLE CONSUMER PROBLEM SITES AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO MY PART AND LET THEM KNOW HOW UNSAFE THESE CARS ARE AND JUST HOPE THAT SOMETHING IS DONE BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED HAD THEY JUST INVESTIGATED THE ISSUES. THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE VERY SAME ISSUES THAT THEY RECEIVE DAILY IS UNBELIEVABLY INSANE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. *TR

THE REAR BRAKES ARE LOCKED UP AND WONT RELEASE. THE FIRST TIME THE CALIPERS HAD TO BE CHANGED OUT. THIS HAPPENED WITH IN THE FIRST 3 YEARS.

THE WIRING CABLE THAT IS INSIDE THE WIPER CONTROL ARM TO THE LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL THAT CONTROLS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAS CRACKED DUE TO THE FRAILE WIRES AND THE CONTINUED ACTIONS OF USING THE WIPERS. THE WIPERS STAY ON AT A SLOW SPEED ALL OF THE TIME. UNABLE TO CONTROL THE FUNCTION. WEARS OUT HW MOTOR FOR THE ARMS / WIPERS, AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE CAR. WHEN CAR IS STARTED, THE ARMS ROTATE NON STOP/ CANNOT FIND A REPLACEMENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC SAID HE CAN MAKE REPAIRS IF THERE WAS REPLACEMENT PARTS. I DON'T WANT TO DIE DRIVING THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID CAR CRASHED UP TO NOW. I NEED THE CAR TO GET TO WORK EVERY DAY.THE TRADE IN VALUE
