SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE BRAKES SOUNDED AS IF AIR WERE PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS PRESSURE IN THE PEDAL. I WAS HEADING INTO A CURVE AND COULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I HAD TO PULL THE E BRAKE AND ENDED UP SLIDING INTO A 180 AND SLID OFF THE ROAD. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE! THIS NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO DODGES' ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY! I AM AFRAID OF WHAT THE COST IS TO FIX THIS AND I DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO WORK NOW! THE INFORMATION CENTER ON THE DASHBOARD SAYS "ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYTEM NEEDS TO BE SERVICED". THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM LUCKY I DID NOT GET KILLED OR KILL ANYONE ELSE!

LO LLEVE EN MLTIPLES OCASIONES AL DEALER Y SEGN ESTOS, EL AUTO NO REFLEJABA NADA, TODO SALA BIEN. EN LA PRIMERA OCASIN AL PRENDER EL AUTO, HIZO UN RUIDO ESPANTOSO Y LUEGO, LO APAGU. AL TRATAR DE PRENDERLO, NO RESPONDIO. LLAME A SERVICIO EN LA CARRETERA Y ENVIARON UNAS PERSONAS PARA QUE LE DIERAN CARGA A LA BATERIA. LA 2DA VEZ, CARGA A LA BATERIA. ES MI OPININ, ESE NO ERA EL PROBLEMA. HOY HACE 3 SEMANAS EL AUTO ESTA EN EL TALLER DEL DEALER, PORQUE SUPUESTAMENTE TIENE LA COMPUTADORA QUE CONTROLA LA TRASMISIN DAADA. PARA MI EL AUTO NO SIRVE. QUISIERA UNA INVESTIGACIN. NO DESEO SEGUIR PAGANDO POR UN VEHCULO QUE NO ME DA NINGUNA SEGURIDAD. GRACIAS! ...UPDATED 08-06/15 *BF UPDATED 10/26/2017*CN

POWER TRAIN
I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH TO START THE ENGINE AND WHEN IT STARTED THE CAR BEGAN TO MOVE EVEN THOUGH THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS FULLY DEPRESSED. I HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF TO STOP THE CAR FROM MOVING AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL REMAINED ON THE FLOOR. AFTER A FEW MORE ATTEMPTS IT STARTED TO WORK CORRECTLY. IT NOW DOES THIS EVERY TIME IT IS PARKED FOR A FEW HOURS. VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WENT AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR. CAR WOULD NOT START. IT WAS LIKE THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT ENGAGE. RELEASED THE CLUTCH AND RE-ENGAGED, AND IT STARTED. DURING SHIFTS, IT DIDNT WANT TO GO INTO 3 OR 6TH GEARS. IT WAS LIKE THE CLUTCH IS NOT ENGAGING ONCE AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT, PERFORMANCE DODGE, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE ISSUE BUT CHRYSLER STAR WILL NOT FIX IT. I ASKED HOW CAN THEY KNOW THAT THE CLUTCH HAS ISSUES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT. THE EMPLOYEE INFORMED ME THAT THEY ALL ARE LIKE THIS. CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE CLUTCH ISSUES DUE TO ALL THE COMPLAINTS, BUT THEY STILL RISK THE LIVES OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BY NOT REPLACING THE CLUTCH. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY WINDOWS NOT ROLLING UP OR DOWN AND THE RADIO KEEPS RESETTING ITSELF. THEY DO UPDATES, BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE RADIO ISSUE. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT FOR THE UPDATE, THE UPDATE WOULDNT EVEN LOAD TO FIX THE ISSUE. HOW CAN A COMPANY KNOW OF ISSUES BUT REFUSE TO FIX THEM?

2013 DART 2.0 LITER, 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANS. CLUTCH PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE AND WILL NOT DISENGAGE CLUTCH. PULLING THE PEDAL UP WITH FOOT AND PUMPING IT RESTORES FUNCTION UNTIL THE CAR IS PARKED AT WHICH TIME, THE SYSTEM BLEEDS DOWN AGAIN AND THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT DISENGAGING THE CLUTCH. PROBLEM IS MARKEDLY WORSE IN HOT WEATHER. RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER ON RECTIFICATION ACTION IS AWAITING FOLLOWING INQUIRY BY MYSELF.

CAR SOUNDS LIKE STRUTS AND SHOCKS ARE ALREADY GOING OUT. CAR LUNGES FORWARD SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPED. IT CHANGES ROM AUTO TRANSMISSION TO MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON ITS OWN WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL SERVICE PEOPLE JUST LOOK AT YOU LIKE YOUR A IDIOT WHEN YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT ISSUES AND THE LOUD POPPING NOISE IS HORRIBLE.
