POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE DART ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 45 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE 3 WEEKS PRIOR, BUT AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT WENT AWAY. I MADE IT TO MY HOUSE PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND WENT TO PUT IT INTO PARK, BUT THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. THE KEY IS NOW STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I TRIED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY, BUT THAT DID NOTHING. ALSO THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS CONSTANTLY BEEN COMING ON PERIODICALLY SINCE I'VE BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2013. YET THE DEALERSHIP AND 2 OTHER MECHANICS HAVE NEVER GIVEN ME A REASON WHY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANTED $150 TO HOOK IT UP TO A DIAGNOSTIC. I DO NOT HAVE IT SO I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE 2013 DODGE DART WITH THE 1.4L TURBO ENGINE WAS A VEHICLE MADE THAT WAS MADE IN MURPHY'S LAW (EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG, WILL GO WRONG). SINCE PURCHASING THIS USED VEHICLE IN 2016 WITH 43,000 MILES ON THE ENGINE I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WAS THE TURBO. I HAD TO HAVE THE TURBO REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY (COMMON ISSUE). THEN, MULTIPLE INSTRUMENT GAUGE FAILURES. NEXT, SEVERAL CLUTCH PROBLEMS (CLUTCH STICKING TO THE FLOOR EVEN WHEN DRIVING). THIS ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED AS THE DEALER DOES NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ISSUE. IF RESEARCHED IT WILL SHOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THOUSANDS HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THEN, NEXT SET OF ISSUES BEGAN WITH MULTIPLE CALIPER SEIZINGS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC OTHER THAN THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DETERMINED THAT THESE PARTS WERE FAULTY AND SUFFERED FROM A RECALL THAT EFFECTED SEVERAL CARS. WHEN CALLING CUSTOMER CARE FOR DODGE. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT INVOLVED WITH THAT SPECIFIC GROUP OF CARS. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET AND THEN SUFFERED THROUGH TWO ADDITIONAL CALIPER FAILURES. ALL REPAIRS OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. THIS IS ALSO ANOTHER COMMON ISSUE. NOW, I AM CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH A VALVE COVER GASKET FAILURE ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT 75,000 MILES (COMMON ISSUE). NOW THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY ON A 5 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY. DODGE CLAIMS TO HAVE STARTED THE WARRANTY IN 2012 ON A 2013 YEAR VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE LISTED AS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS, EXPENSIVE, AND POORLY MADE VEHICLES TO EXIST. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH SEVERAL TIMES. THROUGH DODGE-DART.ORG YOU WILL SEE SEVERAL DANGEROUS AND NEGLIGIBLE CHOICES MADE BY FIAT CHRYSLER AND HOW DANGEROUS THIS CAR CAN BE TO THE PUBLIC. I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD OFFER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 10 YEAR/200,000 MILES.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
I PARKED THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. AN HOUR LATER, AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND PLACING THE GEAR IN DRIVE, I COULD NOT SWITCH GEARS TO REVERSE OR PARK, AND COULD NOT SHUT THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY. THE GEAR SHIFT WAS STUCK IN DRIVE, AND WOULD NOT DISENGAGE EVEN WHEN THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. MOBILE TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE WAS BROKEN.

OUR 2015 DODGE DART HAS ONLY 18,700 MILES ON IT AND TWICE IN THE LAST 10 MONTHS WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IN ORDER TO SHIFT GEARS AND THE PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2017, THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED AT NO COST TO US. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN ON APRIL 28, 2018, SAME SCENARIO - DRIVING ON FREEWAY, TRIED TO SHIFT - AND WE ARE TOLD THE CLUTCH KIT AND THROW OUT BEARING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND DODGE IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR IT, SAYING IT IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AND BECAUSE IT IS DIFFERENT PARTS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OF WORK IN AUGUST 2017. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES AND EVEN A COUPLE OF LAWSUITS. EVEN IF REPAIRED AGAIN, I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR OUTSIDE OF CITY STREETS. DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE NOR DO THEY SAY THAT MY CAR IS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH THAT THEY ISSUED IN 2016.

JUST NOTICED THAT THE YOKOHAMA 225/40 R18 AVID S34 TIRES ON MY 2015 DODGE DART HAVE SPLIT SIDE WALLS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000 MILES. I HAD THE CAR IN THREE TIMES FOR THE TIRES LOOSING AIR. I'VE READ THAT YOKOHAMA HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS ON THIS MODEL TIRE FOR YEARS WITH MANY DIFFERENT SIZES BUT HAVE ONLY RECALLED ONE SIZE. I'M TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER 05-02.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THERE SEEMS TO BE ISSUE WITH DODGE, CHRYSLER VEHICLES WHERE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH MY DAD CHRYSLER 300, MY MOM DODGE DURANGO AND NOW MY DODGE DART AND IT APPEARS IT IS THE ALTERNATOR KILLING THE BATTERY. IT IS DANGEROUS TO PUT MY CAR ON THE ROAD AS IT CAN SHUT OFF ANY GIVEN TIME AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE.

I HAD MY 2013 DODGE DART FOR 3 YEARS AND FOR A YEAR AND A HALF I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH TIRES TO THE POINT WHERE THEY POPPED WHILE DRIVING, BRAND NEW TIRES, USED TIRES IT DIDN'T MATTER. I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON JUST TIRES. TO TOP IT OFF I CAN'T GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF BECAUSE OF THE BCM AND A LEAK SOMEWHERE. I WENT THROUGH ALL THE PROCEDURE I BROUGHT A NEW GAS CAP, I BROUGHT A NEW SENSOR, I CHECKED THE WIRES NO HOLES AND NOTHING HAS WORKED. I STILL HAVE TWO CODES ON MY VEHICLE STILL AFTER SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY TO GET IT OFF

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS CAR TO HIS FRIENDS HOUSE. WHEN HE ARRIVED HE PARKED HIS CAR. ABOUT 30 MIN LATER WHEN HE WAS READY TO LEAVE THE CAR WOULD NOT SWITCH GEARS. LUCKILY MY FRIEND IS A MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. MY SON HAS ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A FEW MONTHS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I CHECKED THE SYSTEM SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THAT VIN #. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO HAVE HAD TO COME OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED.

I HAD JUST CAME HOME AND RAN INTO MY HOUSE TO GRAB SOMETHING AND IMMEDIATELY RETURNED BACK TO THE CAR AND WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE THE LIGHT ON THE GEAR SHIFT FOR NEUTRAL LIT UP. THE CAR IS NOW STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION DUE TO IT BEING IN NEUTRAL. WE HAVE CALLED SEVERAL NUMBERS FOR DODGE AND THEY ARE TELLING US THAT THE CAR IS NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE THE VIN IS NOT SHOWING UP WITH A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE SIGHT SHOWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT ISSUE FOR 2011 - 2015 DODGE DARTS. WE NEED ASSISTANCE WITH THIS BECAUSE IF THEY KNOW THESE CARS HAVE THIS ISSUE THERE IS NO WAY THEY SHOULD BE TELLING US THAT THIS CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. PLEASE HELP.
