AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE SEAT BELT CONNECTED, THE VEHICLE IS ILLUMINATED A WARNING LIGHT SAYING PASSENGER SEAT U BUCKLED. THIS IS ALSO CAUSING A "SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM" TO APPEAR IN THE DASH ALONG WITH THE WARNING LIGHT BEING ILLUMINATED. THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST OBSERVED WHEN A PASSENGER SAT IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION WHEN THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND CONTINUED TO STAY ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING.

SERVICE BRAKES
DROVE TO WORK FINE. GOT INTO DART TO LEAVE, STARTED CAR. AFTER 2 SECONDS I FEEL THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSH OUT HARD AGAINST MY FEET WITH A HISSING SOUND. THE ALARM "SERVICE ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM" POPS UP. I'M THINKING IT'S JUST EXTRA PRESSURE LIKE OLDER VEHICLES, SO IT'S OK. BUT NO, I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND REALIZE I HAVE TO STOMP THE PEDAL WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE TO GET ANY STOPPING RESPONSE. I HAD TO DRIVE IT HOME VERY CAREFULLY, BUT THE BRAKING RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL IS ABOUT 2 SECONDS OF SLOWING THEN A HISS AND YOU FEEL THE BRAKES LET GO, SO YOU EITHER HAVE TO KEEP DOING THAT OR STOMP WITH ALL OF YOUR MIGHT AND PRETTY MUCH LOCK UP THE BRAKES. I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, I GOT THE CAR ABOUT 1.5 YEARS AGO AT 48000MI, I'M NOW AT 64239MI AND VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY. IT'S A 2015, AND LOOKING UP RECALLS THE 2013 AND 2014 CARS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY CAR (WHICH IS A 2.4L MANUAL, ALMOST IDENTICAL IF NOT THE EXACT SAME CAR TO PREVIOUS YEARS) WAS NOT. I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE A BRAKING SYSTEM AND REALLY DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO BECAUSE THE CAR ITSELF ISN'T OLD ENOUGH TO CONSTITUTE A BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE.

ENGINE
STARTING AT AROUND 50,000 MILES MY VEHICLE HAS CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE OVER HEATING. I BOUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP IN AUGUST FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED SOME CLAMP AND SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. IN SEPTEMBER THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING AGAIN. I NOTICED THE COOLANT WAS VERY LOW SO I FILLED IT AND THAT SEEMED TO WORK. THEN IN OCTOBER THE ENGINE TOO HOT LIGHT CAME ON, AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE SHOP. THEY REPLACED THE RADIATOR CAP AND SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THEN ONE WEEK LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A CYLINDER 2 MISS FIRE. I GET THAT REPAIRED AND THEN THE VERY SAME DAY THE ENGINE TOO HOT LIGHT COMES ON. REFILL THE COOLANT AGAIN. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A LEAK AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND ANY INTERNAL PROBLEMS OR SIGNS OF INTERNAL LEAKING YET THE CAR JUST KEEPS OVER HEATING AND NOW ITS JUST A GUESSING GAME AS TO WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IT HAS BEEN AT DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF MOVEMENT. THE FIRST TIME I WAS STATIONARY. THE SECOND TIME I WAS GOING SLOW. THE THIRD TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2013. FEW MONTHS AFTER, THE FIRST ISSUE APPEARED, IT SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS PUT ME IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS MANY TIMES. I GOT A RECALL, AND FIXED. AFTER A WHILE ANOTHER ISSUE POPPED UP, THE SHIFT LEVER CAN BE MOVED TO D BUT THE TRANSMISSION STAYED IN P. AGAIN MANY TIMES I GOT STUCK IN THE ROAD, IN BAD SITUATION. I HAD TO CHECK WITH A MECHANIC AND SPEND AROUND $500 TO REPLACE THE SHIFT CABLE. THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED FOR FEW WEEKS, AND APPEARED AGAIN. AND THEN THE SECOND RECALL CAME. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER (SAFFORD SPRINGFIELD VA) AND GOT FIXED, BUT FOR 2 DAYS ONLY, AND THE PROBLEM HAS WORSEN. I CALLED THE DEALER TO BRING THE CAR TO BE CHECKED. I WAS TOLD THE SHIFT CABLE IS OK. BUT WHY IT HAS WORSEN AFTER THE SHIFT CABLE WAS "FIXED". AFTER 2 DAYS "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" POPPED UP. I DROVE MY CAR TO THE SAME DEALER AND AFTER ONE HOUR I GOT CALLED TO INFORM ME THAT MY CAR NEEDS TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT FOR $8500. IT IS NIGHTMARE I HAD WITH THIS JUNK. THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY BAD SINCE THE FIRST DAY. I NEED TO AN EXPLANATION AND A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. IF I DON'T HEAR FROM YOU I WILL RISE THIS ISSUE TO THE COURT.

AFTER 5 MONTHS OF MY CAR BEING IN THE SHOP AT CUMMINS DODGE IN WEATHERFORD OK THEY BROUGHT IT TO ME TODAY STATING IT WAS READY AND FIXED. THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO FIX THE RECALL IT HAD. I NOTICED THE SHIFTER KNOB DID NOT INDICATE WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN SO I CALLED STEVE AT CUMMINS AND ASKED HIM WHY IT WAS NOT SHOWING WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN. STEVE STATED HE WOULD HAVE TO GET BACK WITH THE TECHNICIAN AND GET BACK WITH ME AND DID NOT CALL BACK. I HAD DOUG GRAY TECHNICIAN COME TAKE A LOOK AND HE STATED THEY DID NOT FIX THE RECALL AND ALSO STATED THAT IT WAS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD RIGHT NOW BECAUSE SINCE THEY DID NOT FIX IT THE SHIFTER KNOB CAN BE ENGAGED INTO GEAR WITHOUT KEYS BEING IN THE VEHICLE. HE SAID FOR EXAMPLE IF YOUR DAUGHTER WAS TO GO TO THE CAR TO GET SOMETHING AND ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE SHIFTER KNOB IIT WOULD GO INTO GEAR AND ROLL AWAY. HE STATED THAT HE CAN PUT IT IN GEAR WITHOUT TURNING CAR ON WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THEY BROUGHT ME MY CAR TODAY BECAUSE I REFUSED TO DRIVE IT HOME AND HAD NO INTENTIONS OF DRIVING IT UNTIL I GET ANSWERS.

ENGINE, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
SUSPENSION IS TOO EASILY ADJUSTED. THE LITTLEST BUMP WILL THROW OUT ALIGNMENT AND HAVE THE RECEIPTS TO PROVE. WHEELS BEND EASILY, SPECIFICALLY 18 INCH RIMS. ENGINE USED TOO MUCH OIL AND LEAVES YOUR CAR TO SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHICH IS ADDED AS THE ISSUE IS KNOW TO HAPPEN. I AM 2,500 MILES AWAY FROM AN OIL CHANGE AND I NEED TO ADD OIL BECAUSE THE CAR USES SO MUCH. THE ISSUE IS KNOW BY DODGE AND ONLINE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT.
