AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
TAKATA RECALL - MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. ALONG WITH THE SWIGGLY ROAD LIGHT. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS WHY THEY ARE ON. THE OTHER ISSUE BEING THE SHIFTER CABLE OF THE CAR, I HAVE USED MY SHIFTER AND THE CAR DOES NOT ACTUALLY SHIFT IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. MY BREAKS, HOWEVER, DID WORK SO I USED THEM. I BELIEVE THIS WAS UNSAFE BECAUSE ON THE HIGHWAY PEOPLE DRIVE VERY FAST. IF I WAS TRYING A MANUAL DODGE DART I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I STOPPED USING THE MANUAL SHIFTER WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK OR REVERSE HOWEVER IT SHIFTS VERY ABRUPTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR A WHILE NOW BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE MY FOOT WASN'T ON THE BRAKE HARD ENOUGH BUT IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN.

CAR WILL CUT OFF GOING DOWN ROAD AND WILL NOT CRANK BACK FOR AT LEAST 3 MIN. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY OTHER TRAFFIC ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS. THIS STARTED BACK IN JULY 2016.DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S A SAFETY TO KEEP CAR FROM BLOWING UP WHEN IT HAS LOW OIL. THE CAR BURNS EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. PROBLEM IS I HAVE OIL CHANGED ON A REGULAR SCHEDULE AND BETWEEN OIL CHANGES TO PREVENT CAR FROM CUTTING OFF IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD I HAVE TO PUT ANY WHERE FROM 15 TO 25 QUARTS OF OIL IN. IT'S GETTING WORSE. IT'S NOT LEAKING ANYWHERE. ALSO SOMETIMES OUT OF NO WHERE WITH MY FOOT NOT ON ACCELERATOR IT SEEMS TO ACCELERATE ON IT'S ON. THE CAR ALSO HESITATES ON TAKEOFF OFTEN.

MY PROBLEM PERTAINS TO RECALL 19V-293 MY SHIFT CABLE BUSHING BROKE TODAY WHILE I WAS SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK IN A PARKING GARAGE AND ACCORDING TO THE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP IN TALLAHASSEE, FL CHRYSLER HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY PARTS OR REMEDY FOR THE ISSUE WHICH WAS RECALLED IN APRIL. THEY TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE ME AT LEAST $450 TO REPAIR THE ISSUE AND THAT THEY COULD NOT GIVE ANY ESTIMATE AS TO HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PERSONALLY SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FROM CHRYSLER AFTER THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE GIVEN THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED NEARLY THREE MONTHS AGO AND AM REPORTING WHAT I BELIEVE IS A FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY PROVIDE REMEDY FOR THE ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER.

RECALL NUMBER: 19V-293 AT THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 2018, I DROVE UP TO MY HOUSE IN THE DRIVEWAY, SHIFTED INTO PARK, LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND MY CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS! I TRIED SHIFTING INTO DRIVE AGAIN THEN TO TRY TO MOVE IT INTO PARK AGAIN BUT THE LIGHT ON THE DASH SHOWED STILL IN PARK, EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER WAS IN DRIVE. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING AWAY. THE NEXT DAY, I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (COURTESY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE IN TAMPA, FL) BUT THEY SAID IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED, I HAD TO PURCHASE THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE AND IT WOULD COST ME OVER $500 TO REPLACE IT. I WAS FURIOUS AS THIS IS WAY OUTSIDE OF MY BUDGET. I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE A TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BUSHING REPAIR KIT FOR $35 OFF OF AMAZON. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ABLE TO REPLACE THE BUSHING AND IT WORKS FINE (FOR NOW) BUT MY CONCERN IS WONDERING, WITH THIS RECALL, IF SOMETHING IS CAUSING THE BUSHING TO WEAR DOWN AND BREAK, CAUSING THESE ISSUES OR POTENTIALLY CAUSING A VEHICLE CRASH. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS RECALL THIS MONTH (JUNE 2019) AND APPARENTLY IT'S BEEN ONGOING SINCE, AT THE LATEST, 2016?? AND THE DEALERSHIP KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT? UNBELIEVABLE. IF THE STATUS IS "RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" AND IT'S BEEN 3 YEARS, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE ABLE TO ALLOW US TO TRADE THE CAR IN TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO CAUSE THIS MALFUNCTION WITH A POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE CRASH, WITHOUT US GETTING THE WORSE END OF THE DEAL.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NORMAL SPEED THROUGH THE CITY, I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I IMMEDIATELY HEARD AN AIR RELEASE AND THE BRAKE BECAME VERY STIFF AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP THE CAR. NOW, I HAVE TO USE BRUTE FOOT FORCE TO STOP THE CAR. I WAS ONLY A FEW BLOCKS FROM AN EXPRESS OIL CHANGE & TIRE ENGINEER ON 5700 SANDERSON RD NW, HUNTSVILLE, AL. MY VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC DID NOT SEEM SURPRISED BY THE FINDING. THAT ALERTED ME THAT THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM FOR THE DODGE DART. AFTER READING OTHER BRAKE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE, I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE REPAIR WILL COST ME NEARLY $650 FOR A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE WITH LOW MILES.
