AIRBAG ' I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT A FEW DAYS AGO. WHEN I WAS HIT HEAD ON, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO PUT OUT THERE THAT MY CAR WAS ALSO TOTALED AND WHEN I WAS HIT I WAS GOING 45, AND THE OTHER DRIVER WAS GOING 60. WHICH IS QUITE A HEFTY IMPACT FOR A SMALL CAR BEING HIT BY A LIFTED 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA, AND FOR THE AIRBAGS NOT TO DEPLOY. I AM GOING TO BE SUING DODGE.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JULY OF 2014. IN MARCH OF 2017, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A TRIP OUT OF TOWN, WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST THE MEANS TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR WOULD ONLY REV, AND NOT ENGAGE IN ANY GEAR. I COASTED INTO A GAS STATION, WHERE I HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TRANSPORT THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER, RESERVOIR, AND CLUTCH KIT ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED, TO THE TUNE OF > $2000. I ESCALATED TO FCA UNDER THE X62 TSB, AND MY REPAIRS, AND A RENTAL WERE PROVIDED. NOW YESTERDAY, 9/9/19 AT 9:00AM, MY CLUTCH IS COMING DISENGAGED WHILE ACCELERATING, IN ALL 6 GEARS, 15-65 MPH AND I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY PERIOD ON THE PREVIOUS REPAIR EXPIRED 4 MONTHS AGO. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WHICH FAILED PREVIOUSLY WERE REPLACED WITH ORIGINAL PARTS, WHICH WOULD LEAD TO ADDITIONAL FAILURE. IN DOING MY OWN RESEARCH, THE 2014 DODGE DART MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ARE EQUIPPED WITH A CLUTCH DELAY VALVE. THE INTENTION OF THE CDV IS TO HELP INEXPERIENCED DRIVERS, BUT IN REALITY IS MAKES LAUNCHING JERKY, QUICK SHIFTING DIFFICULT, AND PREMATURE CLUTCH WEAR A REAL POSSIBILITY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TPMS SYSTEM FAILURE (MULTIPLE TIMES) I HAVE HAD MY TPMS SYSTEM REPAIRED THREE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE AND IT NEVER FAILS THAT IT STOPS WORKING AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER GETTING IT FIXED. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT COULD BE FOR SOME PEOPLE THAT DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR TIRES. THE RIGHT CV AXLE HAS ALSO GONE OUT OF MY CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES. THIS ITEM WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY BUT OTHER FRIENDS THAT OWN DARTS HAVE MENTIONED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT CREATED A BAD POPPING NOISE AND MADE GOING OVER BUMPS SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE. TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE -- THIS IS ACTIVE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BUT FIGURED I WOULD INCLUDE THE INFORMATION.

MY VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 60-65 MILES PER HOUR, MY CLUTCH DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND I STARTED SMELLING MY CLUTCH BURNING. I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE CLUTCH BECAUSE I WAS ALREADY IN SIXTH GEAR ON THE HIGHWAY. MY ENGINE STARTED BOGGING DOWN AND LUCKILY I WAS NEAR AN OFF RAMP AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. I WASN'T ABLE TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR, MY ENGINE WOULDN'T EVEN STAY ON IT KEPT STALLING. ITS BEEN ALMOST THREE WEEKS NOW AND NO ONE IS GIVING MY ANY ANSWERS AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON, ALL I AM BEING TOLD IS THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO MY DRIVING. MY CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 43,000 MILES, NOTHING MORE AND MY CLUTCH IS NOW IN PIECES. SOME OF MY CLUTCH IS PERMANENTLY ON MY FLYWHEEL NOW. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION FOR OVER NINE YEARS AND HAD DRIVEN SEVERAL VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER BURNT OUT MY CLUTCH. MY WARRANTY THROUGH CAR MAX WILL NOT COVER IT, NO ONE WANTS TO EVEN LOOK AT MY ISSUE BECAUSE ALL THEY HEAR IS CLUTCH FAILURE AND ITS AUTOMATICALLY MY FAULT.

VEHICLE IS UNDER RECALL ALREADY, ITS STUCK IN NEUTRAL, THE GEAR SHIFT MOVES BUT THE TRANSMISSION ISN'T CHANGING GEAR. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEIR GIVING ME PROBLEMS EVEN LOOKING IT UP TO VERIFY THE RECALL AND TO INSPECT IT. THEY AGREED TO GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR AFTER THEY VERIFY THE RECALL BUT TOLD ME IT COULD BE WEEKS TILL THEY HAVE TIME TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE MANY OTHER CARS THAT NEED REPAIRED AND THIS WASN'T A TOP PRIORITY. SO MY CAR IS AT THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO WHERE I BROKE DOWN, WAITING FOR THEM TO HAVE THE TIME TO EVEN VERIFY THE RECALL? I WAS UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING RECALLS SHOULD BE PERFORMED AND COMPLETED ON A TIMELY MANNER, BUT IM BEING PUT ON THE BACK BURNER BECAUSE THIS IS A RECALL AND IM NOT PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR IT SO ITS NOT A HUGE CONCERN FOR THEM. I WAS TOLD BY DODGE IF I DIDNT LIKE THE WAIT I COULD GO ELSEWHERE. I CANT. THE CAR IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL SO ITS STUCK AT DODGE UNLESS I PAY TO TOW IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A RECALL AND AS OF MAY 13TH I'M STILL WITHOUT MY VEHICLE AND STILL HAVING TO MAKE THE PAYMENT PLUS INSURANCE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN I WILL GET MY CAR BUT IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ENOUGH TIMES I FILED FOR A BREECH OF WARRANTY BUT CHRYSLER ONLY OFFERED ME 4000 TAKE AWAY THE 2000 FOR ATTORNEY FEES SO 2000 IS WHAT I WOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY WITH. I DID NOT ACCEPT THE OFFER AND NOW I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE A REMEDY FOR THE ISSUE BUT IT'S HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE DAY 1 HAD NEW ENGINE NEW TURBO NEW STARTER NEW GASKETS NEW RADIATOR AND MUCH MORE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN BECAUSE OF NEGLECT. I TRULY FEEL I HAVE A LEMON ON MY HANDS AND NEED HELP GETTING INTO A SAFE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT TOLD ME TO GET A LAWYER SO I DID BUT UNLESS WE AGREED ON AN AMOUNT THEY WOULDN'T PROCEED. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I'M TRYING TO GET A LAWYER THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS OR HELP ME GET A SAFER CAR FOR ME AND MY KIDS.*DT CONSUMER STATED PCM/TCM HAS BEEN A RECALL IN THE PAST ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON IS CODE P2096 WHICH CAUSED LEAK IN ONE OF THE HOSES.*JB *JS

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN DRIVING. RANDOMLY STALLS EVEN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BREAK. CAN INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CAR ACCIDENT OCCURRING. MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO GO FASTER BECAUSE THEN CAR STALLS A LOT AND CAUSES BREAK LIGHT TO FLASH ON AND OFF. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS ON DRIVE ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES THE CAR CAN FEEL JITTERY WHEN BEING ON PARK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY CAR RANDOMLY WILL NOT START THINKING THAT IT IS NOT IN PARK. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE DIAGNOSTIC ELECTRONICS TO GO HAYWIRE. I'M TOLD THERE IS A BUSHING THAT WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT DODGE REFUSES TO PROVIDE THIS PART TO MY LOCAL DEALER. THE BUSHING IS DESIGNED TO CAUSE THE CAR TO KNOW IT IS IN PARK SO IT WILL START. I'M ALSO TOLD THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE, BUT I RECEIVED NO RECALL NOTICE FROM DODGE.
