WHILE DRIVING ON THE MOUNTAIN ROADS TO DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY TO DRIVING ANY WHERE MY TURBO CUTS OFF AND I LOSE ALMOST ALL POWER CAUSING ME TO LOOSE POWER GOING UP A STEEP HILL AND ALMOST GET REAR ENDED AT LEAST 3 TIMES. FURTHER MORE WHEN I'M GETTING READY TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY AND IT CUTS OUT CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BE HIT BY TRUCKERS. I GET A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY SMELLS ALMOST LIKE OIL OR WIRE SMELL. MY SPEED CONTROL IS NON FUNCTIONING AND MY EBRAKE IS ALSO [XXX] NEAR INOPERABLE. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A TOTAL LEMON LAW FOR 2013 DODGE DARTS THEY ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE FOR THE OWNER AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD . SO IF THIS IS A NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ADMINISTRATION WHY IS IT NOT RECALLED!!!!!

WHILE STOPPED BEHIND ANOTHER CAR, MY RPMS WENT INTO THE RED WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. IT WAS AS IF MY CAR WERE IN NEUTRAL AND I HAD HIT THE GAS. I DIDNT GO ANYWHERE BUT MY RPMS JUMPED TO 7. I KNOW THERE USED TO BE A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR THE CONTROL MODULE AND I'VE HAD MY CAR SERVICED FOR THE RECALL. THE DEALER I TOOK MY CAR TO STATES MY CAR DID HAVE THIS ISSUE. AFTER HAVING THE RECALL CORRECTED THE SAME THING SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

MASTER SLAVE CYLINDER LEAKED DOWN ONTO THE CLUTCH AND CAUSED MY CLUTCH TO FAIL. CLITCH WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 6,000 MILES OF DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM AT 69,000 MILES.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE IS THAT THE CLUTCH PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND STAYS THERE, THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO THE UP POSITION IS TO REACH DOWN OR USE YOUR FOOT. THE MASTER CYLINDER OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS BELOW THE MINIMUM LINE. NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT OR ANY OTHER WARNING/CAUTION. THE CLUTCH WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED I WAS ON A 7 LANE CITY STREET DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC I WAS DRIVING AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I WAS THE FIRST VEHICLE IN LINE WHEN I TRY TO START GOING THE CLUTCH FELT LIKE IT WAS SLIPPING IN FIRST GEAR WHICH IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL FOR MY VEHICLE BECAUSE FIRST GEAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY TOUCHY.. SHIFT TO SECOND GEAR IN THE CLUTCH ONCE AGAIN WAS SLIPPING AND THE ENGINE REVED THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO GO AND I MADE IT TO THE NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT. I WAS THE SECOND CAR FROM THE INTERSECTION. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I RELEASED THE CLUTCH AND THE GEAR ENGAGED IMEADIATLY WITH THE GEAR IN FIRST, THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD AND KEPT DOING THAT ABOUT THREE TIMES UNTIL THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT. PUSHING IN THE CLUTCH PEDAL DID NOTHING IT'S STAY STUCK TO THE FLOOR. IN THE MIRROR I SEE THAT THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO ME AND ALMOST CAUSED A HUGE PILE UP BEHIND ME BECAUSE OF THE HESITATION OF MY VEHICLE I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE LANE WITHOUT HELP FROM A FELLOW CITIZEN THAT WAS DANGEROUS IN ITSELF. ONCE I GOT THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE PLACE PUSHING IT I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND I SEE THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR ON THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS EMPTY. I CHECK THE FLUIDS IN MY VEHICLE AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK . WHERE DID ALL THAT FLUID GO? I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR A WEEK OR TWO NOW DUE TO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO BECAUSE THE CAR HAS 40, 000 MILES ON IT SO ITS OUT OF WARRANTY.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A WEEK AND A HALF AGO AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL INTERMITTENTLY FEELS STRANGE LIKE IT'S STICKING IN SOME WAY. BEEN DRIVING MANUAL CARS MY ENTIRE DRIVING CAREER (20 YEARS). I HAVE NEVER FELT MY CLUTCH PEDAL DO THIS ON ANY CAR BEFORE! UPON LOOKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE! I LOVE THE CAR WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL FEELS SMOOTH AND NORMAL, HOWEVER IT IS VERY ALARMING WHEN IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING! SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, I TRULY HOPE CHRYSLER WILL ISSUE A RECALL AS IT SEEMS LIKE MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD EXPENSIVE ISSUES WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER AT AS LITTLE AS 22,000 MILES...IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHILE STARTING THE CAR...MOSTLY HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING HOWEVER.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE WHEN TRYING TO STOP . BRAKES WOULD PRESS DOWN BUT NOT SLOW THE VEHICULAR DOWN. THE BRAKES WOULD RANDOMLY FAIL WHEN STOPPING ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND IN URBAN AREAS. ALONG WITH THAT THE COMPUTER WOULD FAIL AND THE ABS LIGHT,THE ENGINE LIGHT , AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON ALONG WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT. ALL THE PROBLEMS HAPPEN OVER TIME AND RANDOMLY OCCURRED. THE FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING A NEWER CAR ! I HAVE HAD A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE BECUSE THIS HAPPENED GOING DOWN HILL AND I HAD TO WAY TO STOP TILL THE LAST MINOR AS THERE WAS A SHARP TURN PLEASE I JUST WANT THE CAR FIXED.EVERY OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICULAR WAS OPERATING AND IN MOTION

THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT. AFTER THE FIRST START OF THE DAY, THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO PEP BOYS AND THE DEALERSHIP. PEP BOYS IS UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS AS THE CAR HAS TO MIM*ICS THE PROBLEM AND THE DEALER WAS NONCOMPLIANT. *DT*JB

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE RPM INCREASED AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO BE OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WITH THE SELECTOR SHIFT IN THE DRIVE POSITION BUT WOULD MOVE WHEN MANUAL SELECTED IN 1ST GEAR. RECALL R42 HAS BEEN PREFORMED THAT ADDRESSED THE SHIFTIER MODULE. INFORMATION FROM THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICE SHOP STATED THAT THE SHIFTIER MODULE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. IT APPEARS THAT THIS MODULE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AS IN MY CASE BEING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED WHEN THE CAR BEGAN SLOWING.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ABOUT TWO TO THREE WEEKS AGO MY BREAKS COMPLETELY WENT OUT. I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY FOOT WAS TO THE GROUND AND MY CAR WAS BARELY STOPPING. TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME MY BREAK LINE SNAPPED AND THE FLUID CONTAMINATED MY BREAKS. NEEDED TO REPLACE EVERYTHING ON THE FRONT END (BREAKS, PADS, BREAK LINE, ETC.) FAST FORWARD TO ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGOI'M BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY ONTO A MAIN, SUPER BUSY ROAD, I SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND MY CAR DIES. I PRESS THE GAS AND MY CAR WON'T MOVE. I HAD TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC TO GET IT TO START UP. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A COUPLE DAYS LATER AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY OWN DRIVEWAY. BACKED OUT PERFECTLY FINE, PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND IT DIES. WON'T MOVE WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS. TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND IT DRIVES AGAIN. FINALLY, TODAY (AUGUST 23) I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT IT IN DRIVE. NOTHING BAD HAPPENED THEN, BUT AS I WAS COMING UP TO A LIGHT AND SLOWING DOWN TO TURN, MY CARS BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND IT WON'T GO FASTER WHEN I HIT THE GAS. I PULL INTO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP THAT WAS THERE (THANKFULLY) STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT THIS TIME, IT WOULDN'T START. I GAVE THE GUYS AT THE SHOP MY KEYS AND INFO AND JUST GOT A CALL THAT MY CAR HAD NO OIL AND THEY THINK IT SHUT DOWN TO A SAFETY FEATURE. BUT MY CAR WAS TELLING ME I STILL HAD A 23% OIL LIFE. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS PRIOR TO THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR ANYMORE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I USE IT TO DELIVER IN AND I COMMUTE TO SCHOOL. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE NEXT TIME IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT. AND I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M ON THE CLOCK AT WORK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I HAVE AN ONGOING ISSUE ABOUT THE BATTERY SIGN COMING ON SPORADICALLY. I TOOK THE CAR 3X TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG. A COUPLE OF MONTH LATER AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT SIGNS CAME UP WHILE DRIVING, A WARNING ABOUT THE POWER STEERING ALSO APPEARED BRIEFLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO A SAFE ZONE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND YET AGAIN THEY FOUND NOTHING, THEY TOLD ME THAT NO SIGNS APPEARED. ATTACHED IS THE ONE PICTURE I WAS ABLE TO TAKE ONCE I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO A SAFE ZONE. IM JUST SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN, MORE SO SINCE WENT THAT HAPPENED I HAD MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME IN THE CAR. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO BUT I CANT UPLOAD IT.
