SERVICE BRAKES
AT 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE I HAD TO BRAKE, MY BREAKS MADE A POPPING NOISE AND AN AIR SOUND, AND DID NOT SLOW THE CAR DOWN AT ALL. I WAS UNABLE TO EVEN MOVE THE BREAK PEDAL, IT WAS RIGID. AT THAT TIME I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH IS COSTING ME $800 OUT OF POCKET AND IT MAY NEED MORE AFTER THAT THEY WONT KNOW UNTIL THEY REPLACE THAT FIRST. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BRAKES IS COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN EVEN THOUGH THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED TO FAR TO MANY PEOPLE AND A RECALL SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE.

WHILE DRIVING CLUTCH WILL LOSE COMPRESSION MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SHIFT WITHOUT GRINDING GEARS. CLUTCH WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND INHIBITED YOU FROM SHIFTING. I HAVE HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL TO SLOW DOWN HOPING THE CLUTCH REGAINS COMPRESSION IN ORDER TO SHIFT INTO APPROPRIATE GEAR. THIS ALSO INHIBITS PROPER ACCELERATION WHEN SHIFTING GEARS.

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART RALLYE. I BOUGHT IT USED IN JANUARY 2015. IT HAS THE 1.4 MULTI AIR TURBO WITH 6 SPD MANUAL TRANSMISSION. MY PROBLEM IS JUST ABOUT EVERY MORNING OR AFTER THE CAR SETS FOR A FEW HOURS WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR I PUSH THE CLUTCH PEDAL IN TO START THE CAR AND I GO TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND IT WON'T GO IN GEAR WITH MY CLUTCH PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR TRYS TO MOVE WHEN I TRY TO PUT IT IN GEAR SO I LET OFF THE CLUTCH AND IT STICKS HALF WAY TO THE FLOOR SO I HAVE TO PUMP IT FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES OR UNTIL THE CAR WARMS UP JUST TO PUT IT IN GEAR I DID RESEARCH ON THIS AND APAIRENTLY ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER WANTS TO CHARGE ME JUST TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THIS ISSUE REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING NORMALLY WHEN APPROACHING STOP SIGN, DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL WHEN HEARD SOUND OF WHOOSHING AIR AND PEDAL PUSHED BACK UP. HAD TO REALLY PUSH VERY HARD WITH FOOT ON PEDAL TO GET CAR TO STOP. AND THAT WAS A SLOW STOP. IF I HAD HAD TO STOP SHORT WHEN THIS OCCURED IT WOULD HAVE FAILED AND PROBABLE RESULT WOULD HAVE BEEN A CRASH. LUCKY I WAS IN A RURAL AREA AT THE TIME WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. SO I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME THAT NIGHT. WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT TO DEALER AND WILL HAVE IT TOWED IN. BEEN READING ON-LINE ABOUT IT AND HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND THEY SAY IT IS A BRAKE BOOSTER. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A DEATH OR DEATHS FIRST?

EL VEHCULO EN MARCHA, SE SIENTE RUIDO Y HALONEO, QUE SE SIENTE COMO SI SE FUERA A APAGAR. EL RADIO SE PUSO NEGRO Y DEJ DE FUNCIONAR. LUEGO EN VARIAS OCASIONES, EL CARRO NO PRENDE. ADEMS EL VEHCULO EN MARCHA, PRENDE EL CHECK ENGINE Y UN MENSAJE "SERVICIO DE TRASMISION". EN EL DEALER SUPUESTAMENTE LE CAMBIARON LA TCM DE LA TRASMISION, PERO LUEGO, EL VEHICULO VUELVE A PRESENTAR EL MISMO PROBLEMA, "CHECK ENGINE", SERVICIO DE TRASMISION". EN EL DEALER ALEGAN QUE SOLUCIONAN EL PROBLEMA, PERO EL MISMO YA SE HA PRESENTADO EN 3 O 4 OCASIONES. TENGO UN AUTO "LIMON".

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, MY FOOT WAS PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE AND IT SUDDENLY RELEASED FROM MY FOOT FOLLOWED BY A WHOOSHING SOUND. MY BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED, AND I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP MY VEHICLE AFTER I STARTED DRIVING IT. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS OIL LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. ON 7/15/2015 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED, FOLLOWED BY THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, RESTATED IT AND THOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL APPEARED, THE CAR NO LONGER SHOOK, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF A COUPLE HOURS LATER. ON 7/23/2015 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REAPPEARED SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO DIAGNOSE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT, BUT THINK IT HAS A VALVE PLUGGED OR AN ENGINE PROBLEM. BOTH OF THESE INCIDENTS OCCURRED AFTER I HAD AN OIL CHANGE COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE.

2013 DODGE DART BOUGHT NEW FROM DEALER. JUNE 17, 2015 WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH A PARKING LOT A APPROXIMATELY 20MPH AXLE BROKE PULLING IT FROM TRANSMISSION. CV KNUCKLE/JOINT, TIE-ROD ALL BROKE. WHEEL AND TIRE TURNED AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE FROM CAR. LEFT A DIVOT IN CONCRETE WHERE EVERYTHING HIT GROUND. VISUAL ESTIMATE BY DEALER WAS $6,500. NOTHING WAS HIT, NO CURB, NO POT HOLE, SPEED BUMP, OR ANY OTHER OBJECT. POLICE REPORT STATES THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE AREA TO HIT. NO OTHER DAMAGE TO VEHICLE, SUCH AS IMPACT FROM OTHER OBJECTS. SERVICE MANAGER AT DEALERSHIP CAR WAS TAKEN TO SAID THERE WAS SO MUCH DAMAGE HE COULDN'T TELL WHAT BROKE FIRST. CHRYSLER LEGAL SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS TEAM INSPECTED VEHICLE. 3 WEEKS LATER THEY SENT ME A REPORT SAYING IT WAS NOT A MECHANICAL DEFECT AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT REPAIR. THEY INSIST I FILE WITH MY INSURANCE CARRIER. A VEHICLE THAT IS 18 MONTHS OLD WITH ONLY 39,000 MILES SHOULD NOT FALL APART LIKE THAT IF IT DOESN'T STRIKE ANYTHING. I'VE REQUESTED COPY OF REPORT CHRYSLER USED TO MAKE THEIR DECISION.

WHEN GETTING INTO MY CAR IN THE MORNING OR AFTER WORK (ANY TIME THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE), THE CLUTCH PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND DOESN'T COME BACK UP. I CANNOT PUT MY CAR INTO GEAR OR EVEN START THE CAR. I HAVE TO PUMP THE CLUTCH PEDAL FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL I HAVE A LITTLE PRESSURE TO EVEN START MY CAR. MY CAR STALLED OUT TWICE FROM THIS WHEN ENTERING A PARKING GARAGE AND I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 2-3 MILES THE CLUTCH SEEMS TO COME BACK TO NORMAL PRESSURE AND I CAN SHIFT FINE AT THAT POINT.

I NOTICED WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDDLE IT MADE A LOT OF AIR NOISE. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND TRIED TO STOP THE BRAKE WAS VERY HARD TO DEPRESS AND THE CAR TOOK A VERY LONG TIME TO STOP. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR HOPING FOR A DIFFERENT RESULT. AGAIN THE BRAKES MADE A LOT OF AIR NOISE, AND I PRACTICALLY HAD TO STAND ON THE PEDDLE TO GET IT DO DEPRESS, TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP I HAD TO UTILIZE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO GARAGE, THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER, THEN AS THEY PULLED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE, IT FAILED AGAIN. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER AGAIN. ....UPDATED 06/15/16 *BF UPDATED 11/27/2017*CN
