POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR WOULD START TO RANDOMLY GO INTO NEUTRAL WHEN IT GOT UP TO HIGHER RPMS, THE CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT HAD NO POWER AND ONCE IT GOT TO A CERTAIN RPM IT WOULD REV UP AND NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THE CLUTCH WOULD STILL SHIFT INTO GEARS BUT COULD NOT HAVE MUCH POWER AT ALL UNLESS YOU WENT EXTREMELY SLOW AND BUILT UP THE SPEED AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. AFTER THAT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. NO MATTER WHAT GEAR YOU PUT IT INTO, IT REGISTERS THAT IT'S IN NEUTRAL ALL THE TIME. THE SHIFTER PHYSICALLY SHIFTS INTO A GEAR, BUT EVEN AFTER TAKING MY FOOT OFF OF THE CLUTCH IN A GEAR IT WON'T STALL OUT, AND WON'T MOVE AT ALL IN ANY GEAR OR REVERSE. IT SMELLED BURNT LIKE THE CLUTCH WAS BURNT OUT OF IT. MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CAR STOPPED REGISTERING GEARS, AND WAS ON A HILL AT THE TIME. LUCKILY SHE HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET UP THE HILL AND PULL OVER BEFORE SHE STARTED COASTING BACK DOWN AND INJURED HER. THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL UNLESS TOWED. THE CAR HAS LOW MILES AND WE'VE ONLY OWNED IT FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. WE READ UP ON WHETHER THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND CALLED A LOCAL SHOP ABOUT RECALLS, TO WHICH THEY SAID THE PREVIOUS OWNERS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE CLUTCH HAD A RECALL THAT HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED BUT WAS EXPIRED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT AFTER THE GASKET WAS REPLACED AT THE DODGE DEALER AS A RECALL. IT WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS AND TRIES TO START OUT IN 4TH GEAR. WHEN YOU DO GET IT TO PULL ITSELF THE RPM'S ARE 3.5. THE DEALER SHIPS SAY'S THAT THEY COULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THE ISSUE BUT IT RAN FINE BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION HAD THE RECALL REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION CABLE. THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ONLY IF YOU SET IT AS SOON S YOU START THE CAR, IF YOU DON'T IT WILL NOT ENGAGE OR COME ON. THERE IS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT COMES ON AND EVEN WHEN IT IS ON THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANY TROUBLE CODES. THIS IS GT AND I LOVE THE CAR BUT IT DOES NOT RUN 80% OF THE TIME.

POWER TRAIN
THE 2013 DODGE DART HAS A RECALL SINCE APRIL 2019. THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING ON THE TRANSMISSION END OF THE SHIFTER CABLE WHICH CAN DETERIORATE AND BECOME DETACHED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN THE INABILITY OF THE DRIVER TO ACTUALLY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION, EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER MAY MOVE THE SHIFTER HANDLE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON EVERY FEW MONTHS. VEHICLE IS TRYING TO GO INTO PARK BUT THE SHIFT GETS STUCK. I HAVE BEEN CALLING THE CHRYSLER DODGE DEALER SINCE APRIL 2019 BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING IN ALL SORTS OF SCENARIOS, JUST STARTED, TURNING, STOPPING, UP HILL OR DOWN HILL. MULTIPLE INQUIRIES WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATE AND DEALERSHIPS RESULTED IN THEM TELLING ME THE CAR IS ENGINEERED TO ALLOW 1QT OF OIL BURNED EVERY 750 MILES, PER SPEC SHEET I HAD TO FIRMLY DEMAND TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT. WAS BASICALLY TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM THAT MY CAR DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH MY FAMILY IN IT, THEREBY THE POTENTIAL FOR A MAJOR CATASTROPHIC DEADLY SITUATION IS THERE. CHYRSLER CORPORATE CASES WERE CLOSED WITH NO RESOLUTION AND THEY NEARLY MADE ME PAY FOR THE INQUIRY. THIS IS ALL APPARENTLY HIDDEN IN THE CHRYSLER TSB - 09-001-12. MY CAR HAD 25,000 MILES AND WAS NEEDING ABOUT 7-8 QUARTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES ACCORDING TO THE CAR'S BUILT IN OIL LIFE METER WHICH IS INTENDED TO BE USED.

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
I CONTINUE TO HAVE A SERVICE AIRBAG ERROR ON MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE REPORTED TO IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO ASSIST UNLESS A FEE FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND A FEE TO FIX THE ISSUE WHEN IT'S CLEARLY A SAFETY MATTER. TODAY I HAD A REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO A RECALL (V34) TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTING OF MY GEARS. I RESEARCHED RECALLS ON 2013 DODGE DARTS AND SAW RECALLS REPORTED REGARDING THE POWERTRAIN AS WELL AS AIRBAGS. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE A RESPONSE ASAP. THANK YOU AND ENJOY YOUR DAY.

THE CAR IS USING OIL AND WILL COMPLETELY DIE WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT BECOMES EMPTY IF I COME TO A STOP IT WILL COMPLETELY DIE AND I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND THE CAR STRUGGLES TO TURN BACK ON. DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE ON SO MANY DARTS AND NOTHING IS BEING FIXED. THIS ENGINE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! TWICE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES THIS LAST TIME I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY EMPTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING THAT I HAD THE CAR.

I WENT TO GET A RECALL FIXED FOR MY VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE BUSHING YOU'RE FIX THE RECALL IS ON BACK ORDER FOR OVER A MONTH. I THEN EXPLAINED THAT THE PART HAS ALREADY FAILED AND THAT THIS CAR IS THE ONLY CAR THAT I HAVE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK, TO DROP MY WIFE OFF AT WORK, AND TO MAKE SURE MY DAUGHTER GETS WHERE SHE NEEDS TO GO. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND MY CAR CURRENTLY WON'T RUN BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY RECALL THAT I WAS TRYING TO GET FIXED. PERKINS MOTORS IN COLORADO SPRINGS TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND TOLD ME TO TAKE MY CAR WITH ME WHICH I HAD TOWED THERE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THEY FAILED TO HELP ME GET MY PROBLEM RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER AND THEY OFFERED NO OTHER ADVICE TO TRY TO GET MY CAR UP AND RUNNING AGAIN.
