POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN TURNING THE CAR OFF, THE KEY FOB GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THIS SOMETIMES CAN BE RESOLVED BY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, PRESSING ON THE BRAKE AND ADJUSTING THE SHIFTER FORWARD TO CLICK INTO PARK. IT'S AS IF THE SHIFTER IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE CAR IS IN PARK SO IT WILL NOT RELEASE THE KEY FOB. IT COULD USUALLY BY FIXED EASILY, NOW TAKES SOMETIMES 1-3 MINUTES; WHICH INCLUDES RESTARTING THE CAR AND PUTTING IT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE AND BACK INTO PARK. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY & THEN WILL STOP FOR A FEW DAYS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE I'M DRIVING AND THEY 'COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM' AS THEY STATED. HOWEVER, JUST THE PAST TWO DAYS IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE FROM THE 2019 RECALL FOR THE BUSHING CABLES. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE AS THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX THIS IF THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM. IS THERE A NEW RECALL OR OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS? ESPECIALLY FROM OTHER DODGE DART OWNERS WHO ALSO HAD A PART REPAIRED IN 2019 DUE TO THE LAST RECALL? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
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. THIS MOST RECENT TIME THEY LOCKED UP AGAIN I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN IT IN TO THE SHOP YET BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN 3 YEARS OR SO SINCE THEY WERE LAST CHANGED. THE CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 40 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS COULD CAUSE THE BRAKES TO CATCH ON FIRE OR EVEN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

MY 2015 DODGE DART HAS BEEN OPERATING VERY WELL UNTIL THE LAST FEW WEEKS. RECENTLY I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE ROAD SHIFT THE CAR INTO ANY GEAR ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS WILL GO TO 6000-6500, BUT THE CAR GOES NO WHERE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME EVERY TIME I GET INTO IT AND NOW I DON'T FEEL SAFE. I TOOK IT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS WHICH BOTH OF THEM STATED THIS WAS A DODGE ISSUE; WHERE THERE IS OPEN LAWSUITS AND LEMON LAW ACTS IN PROGRESS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THE 2016 RECALL FOR 2016 DODGE DARTS EXPLAINS EVERY PROBLEM I'M HAVING AND EVEN SAYS THE PARTS THAT HAVE GONE BAD WILL GO BAD. IT ALSO STATES THAT THE PROBLEM MAY AFFECT MANUAL TRANSMISSION 2015 DARTS. THE DODGE MECHANICS TOLD ME I NEED A NEW CLUTCH, THROW OUT BEARING, AND FLY WHEEL. $2,000 FIX IN WHICH THEY SAID WOULD ONLY BE A BAND AIDE BECAUSE IT'S A DEFECT WITH DODGE DARTS AND IT WILL CONTINUALLY HAPPEN NO MATTER HOW I DRIVE OR HOW OFTEN I REPLACE THE PARTS. DODGE CORPORATE HAS OCCUPIED MOST OF MY WEEK ON THE PHONE AND THEY KEEP DENYING ME ASSISTANCE, PLUS KEEP CLOSING MY CASES WITH NO REASON WHY.

2013 DODGE DART LIMITED WAS MOVING, STOPPED AT LIGHT, LOST GEAR COMPLETELY. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T RECREATE. HAD EVERY TRANS RECALL AVAILABLE APRIL 2019. JANUARY 2020 CAR STARTED TO STALL AND SHIFT OUT OF GEAR AGAIN. APRIL 17 2020 BROUGHT DART IN DUE TO STALLING IN ROAD AND SAME DASH SCREEN AS RECALL, TOLD ME TO SHIFT INTO N THEN BACK INTO D OR R. CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND CODE OR ANYTHING WRONG AND ALLOWED ME TO LEAVE WITH THE VEHICLE. GOT THE CAR HOME, WENT TO SHOW MY HUSBAND AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. APPARENTLY NOT INVOLVED WITH RECALL, YET I DON'T SEE HOW. SAYS SOMETHING IN TRANSMISSION SLEEVE NEEDS FIXED AND I AM LIABLE. I BEGGED THEM TO KEEP THIS CAR BC THE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING UP, NOW HERE I AM BEING TOLD I OWE FOR AN ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WHEN I TRIED TO HAVE IT FIXED FIRST. VIN ISN'T LISTED UNDER ANY CURRENT RECALLS, YET A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW QUICKLY THAT THE 6 SPEED TRANS ARE NOTHING BUT RECALL ISSUES REPEATEDLY, UNTIL IT ACTUALLY DIES.

SERVICE BRAKES
I DRIVE A 2015 DODGE DART. I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT ON A DECLINE. SHIFTED TO N, COASTED WITH MY FOOT IN THE BREAK, UNTIL COMFORTABLE. WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPED, I SET THE E-BRAKE. MY BRAKE PEDAL DECOMPRESSED AND PUSHED BACK AT MY FOOT. NOW PEDAL IS STIFF AND WON'T MOVE. WHEN LEAVING PARKING LOT BRAKE PEDAL HALFWAY DECOMPRESSED. I WENT TO STOP AT THE INTERSECTION STOP SIGN. PRESSED BRAKES TO STOP AND COULDN'T.. THE PEDAL WAS ROCK SOLID, STIFF AS A BOARD. I THEN PULLED MY E-BRAKE, ONLY TO COME TO A SCREECHING STOP HALF WAY INTO CROSS TRAFFIC. I PUSHED BRAKES TO SHIFT TO REVERSE AND THE PEDAL WAS STIFF WITH NO PLAY. I SHIFTED TO REVERSE AND BACKED INTO A PARKING SPOT, HAD TO, AGAIN, PULL MY E-BRAKE TO STOP. CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED. BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE. DODGE WANTED 3K. MY FRIENDS SHOP WANTED $400. HAD CAR TOWED TO HIM. WHEN HE ORDERED THE PART, IT WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. SO I ASKED MYSELF WHY, LOOKED INTO IT AND FOUND OUT THE '13-'14 MODELS BRAKE BOOSTER WAS RECALLED. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED EARLY 2015. WHEN I CHECKED THE VIN, THERE WAS NO RECALL. BUT SEEING HOW THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER, AND I'VE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR NINE WEEKS NOW, I'M STARTING TO THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. IF IT ORIGINALLY WAS 3 DAYS TO 3 WEEKS, AND THAT'S NOW TRIPLED..
