SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START MY DART, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WILL HAVE NO TENSION IN IT. THE PEDAL WILL GO STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH NO EFFORT AND WILL STICK DOWN. I HAVE TO USE MY FOOT TO PULL IT BACK UP. THE CAR WILL ALSO NOT GO INTO GEAR WHEN THIS OCCURS. YOU HAVE TO EITHER TURN THE CAR OFF OR LET IT STALL, THEN PUMP THE CLUTCH 10-20 TIMES IN ORDER TO GET THE TENSION NEEDED. SOMETIMES THIS DOESN'T HELP AT ALL AND YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE! FCA KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE, THEY'VE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 60,000, BUT MY CAR HAVING 83,XXX MILES THEY DON'T CARE. FIRST EXTENDED SERVICE CORPORATION WHO I PURCHASED AN "EXTENDED SERVICE AGREEMENT" THROUGH DOESN'T CARE EITHER. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR AND THE REPRESENTATIVE FLAT OUT TOLD ME "NO" AND HUNG UP. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. WE'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND OTHERS AROUND AND THEY SAID IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, HOW IS IT NOT A RECALL?!?

ENGINE
TIGER SHARK MULTI-AIR 2 ENGINE CONSUMES 1QT OIL PER 1000 MILES. I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND THE OIL WENT TO LOW AND ENGINE IS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF. THIS STALLING HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES TO AND 1 TO THE DEALERSHIP. NONE OF THE CARS WARNING INDICATORS COME ON WHEN PRESSURE IS LOW THE CAR JUST STALLS. DEALERSHIP RESOLUTION WATCH OIL LEVEL AND THERE IS FIX FOR THE CONSUMPTION OR ANY WAY FOR THE WARNING LIGHTS TO BE TRIGGERED. SO IF I FORGET TO CHECK THE OIL I AM GAMBLING WITH MY LIFE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IF THE CAR STALLS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN STARTING TO SLIDE ON ICE A NOTIFICATION FLASHES WHERE YOUR MILEAGE SHOULD SHOW BUT IT DISAPPEARS SO QUICK DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN FOR A FEW SECONDS ALONG WITH ALL ELECTRICAL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ( NO SPEEDOMETER NO STEREO NO TOUCH SCREEN NO LIGHTS IN OR OUT) HOWEVER WHILE SLIDING IF YOU LET YOUR FOOT OFF THE BREAK THE ENGINE AND ALL THE LIGHTS SEEM TO REBOOT AND THE CAR GAINS POWER AGAIN. NOT SAFE AND SCARY AS HELL WHEN DRIVING IN A UPSTATE NY SNOW STORM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SATURDAY JANUARY 9 2016 - HERTZ RENTAL CAR - DAYTIME LIGHT FOGGY CONDITIONS. VEHICLE HAD BEEN RUNNING SINCE 09:35 EDT WITH NO SIMILAR INCIDENT. INCIDENT 1 - DRIVING INTERSTATE 79 NB IN A DESCENDING RIGHT RIGHT TURN WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET TO MAINTAIN SPEED LIMIT. APPLIED BRAKES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CURVE DUE TO SLOWER TRAFFIC. ALL ELECTRICAL INCLUDING ENGINE QUIT OPERATING AT APPROXIMATELY 13:35 EDT. WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF ROADWAY WITHOUT TURN SIGNALS (ALSO INOP). A SHORT INVESTIGATION SHOWED THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS IN THE "OFF" POSITION. VEHICLE READILY RESTARTED WITH TRANSMISSION IN "PARK" POSITION (NOT "NEUTRAL"). INCIDENT 2 - AT APPROXIMATELY 17:25 EDT I EXITED INTERSTATE 376 EB ONTO A UPWARDLY INCLINED SURFACE ROAD WAITING AT A STOP SIGN, ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENGINE QUIT OPERATING. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS DISCOVERED TO BE IN THE "OFF" POSITION AGAIN. VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH NO TROUBLE, WITH TRANSMISSION IN "PARK" POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO ITS VACATION DESTINATION IN BEAVER COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA AND THEN RETURNED TO ITS ORIGIN AT THE RALEIGH-DURHAM AIRPORT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT ON FRIDAY EVENING 15 JANUARY 2016. MY INVESTIGATION SUGGESTS THE COMBINATION OF THE RENTAL COMPANY TIGHTLY TYING THE TWO VEHICLE KEYS TOGETHER AND THE LOW CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE IGNITION SWITCH TO THE DRIVER'S KNEE AND THE VERY LIGHT FORCES NEEDED TO TURN THE KEY AND THE LACK OF A POSITIVE "DETENT" WHEN THE KEY IS IN ANY POSITION SEEMS TO ENCOURAGE THE DRIVER FROM ACCIDENTALLY APPLYING ENOUGH FORCE ON THE UNUSED AND HANGING KEY TO TURN THE IGNITION TO THE "OFF" POSITION. SUBSEQUENTLY I CONSCIOUSLY AVOIDED MOVING MY KNEE ANYWHERE NEAR THE LOWER DASH PANEL AND DID NOT HAVE ANOTHER OCCURRENCE OF THE TWO INCIDENTS. . THIS SEEMS TO BE SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID# 10806589.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE WHILE IN PARK AND WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON , POPPED OUT OF GEAR AND THE EBREAK FAILED AND THE CAR ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVE WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR, I WAS GETTING HER OUT AND SHE WAS UNBUCKLED WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACK, IT WENT DOWN THE DRIVE ACROSS THE ROAD JUMPED THE CURB AND STOPPED SHORT OF CRASHING INTO OUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE. LUCKILY MY DAUGHTER HELD ON AND WASN'T INJURED YET COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. OTHER MAJOR ISSUES: THE REVERSE LEVER DOESN'T WORK SO WHEN I GO TO SHIFT INTO FIRST IT GOES INTO REVERSE WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL THE LEVER UP, I HAVE MULTIPLE TIMES THOUGHT I WAS IN FIRST AND STARTED TO GO BACKWARDS. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE PASSENGER VISOR FELL OFF WHEN I PUT IT DOWN IT JUST FELL OFF, THE DEALER CHARGED ME $171 TO REINSTALL, I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND ITS VERY COMMON IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL YET DODGE DOES NOTHING. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS NO LONGER WORK. WITHIN 2 YEARS WE HAVE REPLACED 6 TIRES, THE STOCK WHEELS ALL HAD BUBBLES IN THE WHEEL WITHIN A YEAR NEEDING REPLACE. THE DEALER DID NOTHING. THE CAR BACKFIRES WHEN I SHIFT, AND HESITATES WHEN DRIVING LIKE IT SLIPPING AND CANT GET UP TO SPEED. SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO ASSIST US. WE BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT IT NEW HAS SOMEHOW TAMPERED WITH THEIR CARS SO THAT THEY GET MORE BUSINESS WHEN THINGS BREAK, WE BELIEVE THIS BECAUSE ITS OUR 2ND CAR FROM THEM AND OUR OTHER CAR WAS SOLD TO US WITH COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT SUB FRAME WHICH ALMOST KILLED MY WIFE AND FAMILY, AND THE DEALER KNEW IT WAS BAD AND LIED ON INSPECTION. THAT WAS REPLACED THANKS TO NHTSA, BUT HAVE NO ASSISTANCE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP IS DAVID DODGE, IN PA. OUR DODGE IS VERY UNSAFE AND WE ARE AFRAID TO PUT OUR KIDS IN THIS CAR EVEN AFTER THE DEALER IS SAYING THEY ARE "FIXING THE PROBLEMS" WHICH WE DON'T BELIEVE TO BE TRUE

SERVICE BRAKES
ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO, THE BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE GOING DOWN A HILL ON THE WAY TO WORK. THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND SOME OTHER PART RELATED TO THAT. THE BRAKES HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY SINCE IT WAS FIXED, BUT THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS THAT THEY ARE FINE. I LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEY COULD NOT GET THE BRAKES TO FAIL. ON 1/15/16 WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, THE BRAKES GAVE WAY AGAIN. I BACKED UP AND DROVE IN AGAIN, AND THEY DID IT REPEATEDLY. IT WAS LIKE THEY COULDN'T CATCH OR SOMETHING, YOU COULD FEEL THE JERK OF THE BRAKES AS I TRIED TO APPLY THEM. WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUN-AROUND FOR ALMOST A YEAR, AND WERE TOLD THAT THE BRAKES WERE FIXED AND FINE. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER SAYING THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM, YET THEY REFUSE TO LET US PAST THE ENTRY LEVEL PEOPLE OPERATING THE PHONE. I AM IN DANGER EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR. WE HAVE GOTTEN NO WHERE IN THE PAST YEAR WITH CHRYSLER, AND HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY LIED TO ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE BRAKES. THE PROOF OF THOSE LIES IS IN THE RECALL WHICH CLEARLY SAYS THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AT THE PRESENT TIME. THAT MEANS THAT MY BRAKES COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME AND I CANNOT GO ABOUT MY NORMAL LIFE IN A PANIC ABOUT DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK, OR THE GROCERY STORE, OR HAVE ANYONE IN THE CAR WITH ME, BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS PREPARING FOR AN INEVITABLE CRASH. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO LIVE THIS WAY, AND THEY HAVE KNOWN ALL ALONG THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO MAKE IT RIGHT, BUT HAVE DONE EVERYTHING TO PRETEND IT DID NOT EXIST. I SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO CONTINUE PAYING FOR A CAR THAT WILL ONE DAY RESULT IN MY DEATH OR INJURY. THIS CAR SHOULD BE BOUGHT BACK FROM ME IF THERE IS ANY FAIRNESS AT ALL, OTHERWISE I HAVE PAID ON TIME FOR TWO YEARS ON A CAR THAT IS FAULTY AND DANGEROUS. THIS PUTS ME AT A DISADVANTAGE WHEN GOING TO BUY A NEW CAR WITH NO TRADE IN.
