THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE ON MY CAR STOPPED WORKING WHEN I WAS LEAVING MY GARAGE TO GO IN A ROAD TRIP. THIS PROBLEM ALREADY HAVE A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED, HOWEVER A REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND THEY ADVISED THAT A PART HAS BEEN ORDERED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE CONTACTED FCA THAT ADVISED ME THAT THEY WOULD SEND APPROVAL TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PROCEED WITH THE REPAIR. HOWEVER, AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS FROM ME AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP, FCA STILL HAVEN'T GIVEN THE APPROVAL TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PROCEED WITH THE REPAIR.

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CURRENT DODGE DART MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE SINCE AUGUST 8TH 2019. I'VE TRIED CALLING YOUR COMPANY FOR WEEKS NOW I WAS ABLE TO TOW MY VEHICLE TO A DODGE DEALER SHIP TO CONFIRM THAT THE PROBLEM IS BASED ON THE RECALL. THERE IS STILL NO SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE AND NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL WHEN THE ISSUE IS NOT ON MY FAULT ITS ON YOURS . NO ONE CAN OFFER ME ANYTHING AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE NO ONE HAS HELPED ME FIGURE OUT THIS ISSUE. ALL I WAMT IS A RENTAL FOR THE TIME THAT IT TAKES GOR THE DEALER TO HAVE ORDERED THE PEICE UNTIL MY CAR CAN BE FIXED . I HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT UNDERSTANDING AND COOPERATIVE TO THE WHOLE SITUATION BUT I'M TRULY AT MY WITS END.

I WAS NOTIFIED ON 04/18/2019 OF THE MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL ISSUED NHTSA #19V-293 #V34 2013-2016 DODGE DART PF SHIFT CABLE BUSHING. IT IS NOW 08/18/2019 4 MONTHS LATER AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. WHILE I HAVE NOT HAD A MISHAP AND THE PART HAS NOT FAILED YET I FEAR IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. MY SON IS NOW AT COLLEGE ON HIS OWN WITH THE 2015 DODGE DART AND I HAVE TO REMIND HIM TO TRY AND BE GENTLE WITH THE SHIFTER AND MAKE SURE THAT HE SETS THE PARKING BRAKE IN CASE THE BUSHING FAILS AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T GO INTO PARK. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM FIAT/CHRYSLER SINCE THE INITIAL RECALL NOTIFICATION. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THEY OWE US ANSWERS OF WHEN OUR VEHICLES WILL BE FIXED OR THEY SHOULD START A VEHICLE BUYBACK PROGRAM IF THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM.

MY 2016 DODGE DART HAS BEEN SITTING AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP SINCE VERY BEGINNING OF JUNE 2019- DUE TO V34 NHTSA 19V293 TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BUSHING RECALL! A VERY SCARY SITUATION DIRECTLY RELATED TO RECALL ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS IN VEHICLE ON MAY 31ST. I STILL HAVE NOT EVEN RECEIVED A 'RECALL NOTICE' FROM CHRYSLER NOR ANY PHONE OR EMAIL COMMUNICATION UNLESS I INITIATED IT. I HAD TO BEG THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (WHOM I BOUGHT CAR FROM 1 YR AGO) TO GET ME INTO A LOANER OR RENTAL VEHICLE! IM STILL IN IT ! AND NO EXPLANATION FROM ANYONE !! I SHARE A VEHICLE WITH MY 18 YR OLD DAUGHTER & LEGALLY I DON'T BELIEVE SHE IS TO BE DRIVING THIS RENTAL (DUE TO HER AGE). I NEED ANSWERS PLEAE ! GETTING MY VEHICLE BACK 'SAFELY REPAIRED' OR GETTING ME INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AT CHRYSLER'S EXPENSE NEEDS TO HAPPEN ASAP - TO AVOID ME CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY.

ENGINE, WHEELS
MY CAR CUT OFF TWICE THIS MORNING, AND ALMOST DIDN'T CRANK BACK UP. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I TOOK IT BY O'REILLY TO GET THE ENGINE TESTED. IT SHOWED THAT MY THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL WAS BAD. PRIOR TO THIS IT SEEMED LIKE SOMETIMES WHEN I TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS THAT IT WAS STICKING OR SOMETHING. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF IT WAS SWITCHING GEARS PROPERLY. TO TOP IT OFF, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF MY TIRES ONCE, AND A COUPLE OF THEM TWICE. NOW TODAY IT APPEARS I'LL HAVE TO REPLACE THE BACK TWO A THIRD TIME. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! I'VE BEEN WONDERING IF THEY JUST DIDN'T LET ME KNOW THAT THE TIRES THEY WERE PUTTING ON WERE BAD TIRES, POSSIBLY RECALL TIRES. I'M WONDERING BECAUSE I'VE REPLACED TIRES WAY TOO MANY TIMES, AND ONE OF THE LAST TIMES I WENT THEY TOLD ME THEY NO LONGER HAD THE TYPE OF TIRES THAT WERE ON MY CAR, BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO STOP BUYING THAT BRAND. WHEN I ASKED WHY, HE FUMBLED AROUND THAT AND TOLD ME THE PLACE THEY (DEALERSHIP) GOT THEM FROM (PEP BOYS) NO LONGER USED THOSE COMPLAINTS.

DODGE HAS ISSUED A CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, 2016, WE HAD IT REPLACED SPRING 2017 IT DID AFFECT ADDITIONAL REPLACEMENT OF CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, SLAVE CYLINDER AND BEARINGS WHICH HAD ALSO BEEN REPLACED ALSO IN SPRING IN 2017. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AGAIN 10K MILES AFTER REPAIRS, 50K ON VEHICLE NOW. I DID NOTICE THE LEAKAGE OF FLUID FROM A BOOT COVERING THE MATER CYLINDER. THE VEHICLE HAS CAUSED IT NOT TO RELEASE CLUTCH, USUALLY WHEN STARTING, TWICE WHILE DRIVING AND HAVING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL LIKE I COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, ID FEEL WORSE IF I SOLD TO A PRIVATE PARTY AND SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THEM, ITS UNSAFE.
