ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK FROM THE OUTSIDE. YOU CAN WALK RIGHT UP EVEN IF THE CAR IS LOCKED AND OPEN THE DOOR. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE I HAVE KIDS. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE I'VE GOT MY CAR NEW

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
I GOT IN MY PARKED CAR, STARTED IT UP AND TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE BUT THERE WAS NO TENSION WHEN I LIFTED THE LEVER ON THE SHIFTER. THE LEVER MOVED UP AND DOWN AND I COULD SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR EXCEPT REVERSE. LIFTED SHIFTER BOOT AND FOUND THE REVERSE LOCKOUT CABLE WAS SNAPPED. A MONTH OR SO AFTER, I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE AND IT WAS SNOWING. THE ROADS WERE SLICK AND AS I GOT CLOSER TO THE STOP SIGN AT THE END OF MY STREET HERE IN TOWN, MY CAR WAS SLIDING. TRIED TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET SOME TRACTION SO I COULD STOP BUT, JUST LIKE THE REVERSE LOCKOUT CABLE LEVER, AS I LIFTED THE BRAKE THERE WASN'T ANY TENSION AND THE LEVER MOVED UP AND DOWN FREELY. LUCKILY THERE WEREN'T ANY ONCOMING CARS IN THE INTERSECTION AS I SLID THROUGH. IN BOTH CASES THERE WASN'T A REASON FOR THESE PARTS TO SUDDENLY STOP WORKING. NEITHER WERE USED FORCEFULLY, MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND I HAVE 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 100K MILES AND NEITHER WERE USED EXCESSIVELY. BASICALLY, THE REASON BOTH OF THE PARTS JUST STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY IS UNKNOWN. I SEARCHED ONLINE FOR A REPLACEMENT REVERSE LOCKOUT CABLE, I FOUND THAT THE WHOLE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED AS THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN THE LENGTH TO CORRECT A DEFECT WITH THE LOCKOUT CABLE (? YET NO RECALL?) NOW I CAN'T EVEN FIND A REPLACEMENT PART. I CONTACTED MOPAR TO ASK IF ANY OTHER DARTS HAD RECALLS RELATED TO MY ISSUES BUT I WAS TOLD MY PARTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN TESTED AND CLEARED BY THE NHTSA AND THERE WAS NOTHING MORE TO DO. REGARDLESS, I FEEL REVERSE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ARE BOTH CRITICAL AND COULD EASILY POSE SUBSTANTIAL RISK IF DEFECTIVE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING I LOST COMPLETE USE OF BRAKES AND NEEDED TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT NORMAL SPEED LIMITS. BRAKES COMPLETELY WENT DOWN TO FLOOR AND CAR ACCELERATED. I NOTICED A AIR SWOOSHING SOUND AS I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THEM. I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH VACUUM HOSE RUNNING TO VACUUM PUMP TO BRAKE BOOSTER THAT WAS/IS LEAKING THAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. THEY DEEMED CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL I PAY FULL PRICE FOR REPAIR ALTHOUGH I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2013-2014 DODGE DARTS FOR THIS ISSUE. CAN IT BE POSSIBLE THE 2015 DODGE DART IS ALSO AFFECTED? I'M AT 47, 985 MILES. I AM THE ONLY OWNER.*DT REPAIRED *JB

POWER TRAIN
MY VEHICLE HAS HAD A MANUFACTURE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING SINCE APRIL OF 2019 BUT THERE WAS NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. IN AUGUST OF 2019 I PULLED IN A GAS STATION AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK. WHEN I RETURNED AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE THE SHIFTER WAS VERY LOOSE FEELING AND IT WOULDNT COME OUT OF PARK. MY LOCAL DODGE DID PAY FOR TOWING FEES AND PUT ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART ON MY CAR AFTER A VERY RUDE EMPLOYEE MADE SURE I WAS AWARE THIS WOULD BE A ONE TIME COMPLIMENTARY SERVICE SINCE THEY DIDNT HAVE THE CORRECT PART TO FIX IT. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019 I RECEIVED A NOTICE STATING THERE WAS NOW PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE PART AND THAT I SHOULD CALL TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DODGE DEALER. WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A VERY LONG WAIT LIST FOR THIS REPAIR PART AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS LIMITING THE NUMBER OF PARTS THE DEALER IS ALLOWED TO ORDER PER MONTH TO 14. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER AND IM BEING TOLD THEY STILL HAVE A LENGTHY LIST OF CUSTOMERS AND THEY ARE STILL LIMITED ON HOW MANY REPLACEMENT PARTS THEY CAN ORDER PER MONTH. I DONT THINK THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE WAY TO HANDLE A SAFETY RECALL SITUATION. THERE ARE OVER 200,000 VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECTIVE PART. I UNDERSTAND THATS INCLUDING THE ENTIRE US BUT IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO DISTRIBUTE PARTS ACCORDING TO HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON WAITING LISTS IN EACH AREA NOT 14 PARTS A MONTH. I AM TRAVELING TO FLORIDA WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AND PLANNED ON DRIVING MY CAR BUT WITHOUT THIS ISSUE FIXED IM AFRAID OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHILE IM 800 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECIEVE A PHONE CALL WHEN MY NAME REACHES THE TOP OF THE LIST BUT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS BEFORE THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IM SUPPOSED TO DO ESPECIALLY IF IM ON THE ROAD WITH 3 CHILDREN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, THE CAR DOESN'T TURN OFF. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO GET A RECALL DONE, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED. I THINK DODGE JUST SENT THE NOTICE AND LIED ABOUT HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER, SURESKY, WANTED TO CHARGE TO HAVE THE DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THE CAR, BUT SINCE THE RECALL WAS NEVER FIXED, I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS. THE SAME PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

I HAVE TRIED TO SCHEDULE A RECALL FOR MONTHS. I RECEIVED THE NOTICE, CALLED JIM CLICK DODGE, WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MONTHS. AFTER ABOUT 4 MONTHS OF THIS, THEY STARTED TELLING ME THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT TODAY AND WHEN I ARRIVED, THEY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T ORDER THE PART AND IT WOULD BE ANOTHER WEEK. I'VE CALLED LARRY H. MILLER AND WAS PUT ON A "LIST". I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY WEREN'T ANY HELP EITHER AND JUST KEPT SAYING "I'M SORRY". CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW.

THE 2015 DODGE DART WAS PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018 WITH 35,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED HAD HASN'T HAD ANY ISSUES UNTIL NOVEMBER 9, 2019. THE CAR WAS STARTED THAT MORNING AND IDLED APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES, IT DROVE ABOUT 60 FEET AND STALLED, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHERE LOST. THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART IT STRUGGLED, BUT EVENTUALLY TURNED OVER. IT THEN DROVE FINE . ONCE AT HOME I RESEARCH THE ISSUE AND FOUND MULTIPLE REPORTS LIKE MINE OF ENGINES STALLING DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION.
