TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WRITING ON 11/3/2016 TO ALERT NHTSA TO A PROBLEM WITH PREMATURE WEAR OF MICHELIN PILOT SPORT A/S 3 AUTOMOBILE TIRES. I PURCHASED 4 TIRES AUG 2015 AT 29000 MILES ODOMETER. THE TIRES CAME WITH A 45000 MILE WARRANTY. SOON THEREAFTER THE RIGHT REAR TIRE NEEDED REPLACEMENT DUE TO "CHUNKING" (FLAKING, TEARING, AND LOSS OF BITS OF RUBBER THROUGHOUT THE TREAD SURFACE). AT 60000 (LESS THAN 75% OF WARRANTED MILEAGE) MILE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE ALL 4 TIRES NOTED TO BE WORN TO TREAD WEAR INDICATORS WITH TREAD WIRE SHOWING. I AM AWARE THAT OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PHENOMENON (SEE HTTP://WWW.E90POST.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=676153). I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE. MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED, RESPONSE WAS TAKE IT TO A DEALER. MY CONTACT INFORMATION IS: [XXX], TELEPHONE [XXX].

WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE SHIFTER WHET LIMP AND THE CAR WAS STUCK IN REVERSE. I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR OR REMOVE THE KEYS. THE CAR WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND HAD TO BE TOWED FOR REPAIR. AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THE SHIFT CONTROL CABLE HAD BROKEN AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE CAR WAS OLDER THAN 36 MONTHS. I PAID TO HAVE THE SHIFT CONTROL CABLE REPLACED. FAILURE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 24,000.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE "STICK" DEVICE THAT CONTROLS THE WIPERS & WINDOW SOLUTION, JUST WENT OUT ON MY CAR. THE WHOLE PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT'S GOING TO COST BETWEEN 600-700 TO FIX. MY CAR ONLY 3 YEARS OLD & HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT, BUT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE MECHANIC ABOUT THE REPAIR HE STATED THAT CHRYSLER/DODGE HAS MODIFIED THIS PART AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES BECAUSE OF FAILURES. HOWEVER, NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I THINK DODGE SHOULD COVER THE REPAIR COSTS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM), AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM). THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND DODGE IS STILL TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. BEFORE REPLACING THE BODY CONTROL MODULE THE CAR WASN'T STARTING SO THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, IT TURNS OUT THE BCM WAS STAYING ON AND DRAWING POWER FORM THE BATTERY WHILE THE CAR WAS OFF. WE WERE CONSTANTLY HAVING TO JUMP THE CAR TO GET IT STARTED. AFTER THAT THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING FUNNY IT WOULD SHIFT HARD, SHIFT INTO LOW GEARS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. ALSO WHEN FIRST STARTED OR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC INTERSECTIONS THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT INTO 4TH GEAR ON ITS OWN UNLESS IN SPORT MODE AND DONE MANUALLY. THIS MAKES IT ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY WHICH IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING OUT INTO AN INTERSECTION. AFTER REPLACING THE TCM THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL OCCURRING, IT IS CURRENTLY BEING LOOKED AND THE CAUSE IS STILL UNKNOWN.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY DART 2 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT, TCM LOST COMMUNICATION WHILE TRAVELING 70+ MPH DOWN HIGHWAY HAD TO TOW CAR. HAD TCM FLASHED(REPAIR 1), DROVE 2-3K MILE MORE, HAPPENED AGAIN, BROUGHT IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACED TCM (REPAIR 2, BEFORE TCM RECALL WAS ISSUED.) ABOUT 10K MILES LATER HAD TO BRING IT BACK, HAD TCM FLASHED AGAIN (REPAIR 3), ABOUT 10K MILES LATER TCM HAS PROBLEM AGAIN WHILE TRAVELING 40+ MILES DOWN A VERY BUSY CITY STREET AND NEED TO TOW VEHICLE, THIS NEW DEALERSHIP REPLACED TCM AGAIN (REPAIR 4 AFTER TCM RECALL IS ISSUED, 4K MILES LATER CAR IS NOW THROWING CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS FOR BCM, AND PCM WHICH I AM TOLD IS CONNECTED TO THE TCM. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF FILING A LEMON LAW CLAIM AGAINST CHRYSLER, A THREE YEAR OLD CAR THAT I PAID ALMOST $30,000 SHOULD NOT CAUSE SO MUCH STRESS. I CANNOT ALLOW MY FAMILY TO BE IN DANGER, I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT NEITHER ISSUE RESULTED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BUY MY VEHICLE BACK. I DO NOT WISH TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT SERVICING THE VEHICLE AGAIN, OR TRADING THEM FOR A NEWER VEHICLE AS THEY HAVE LOST MY TRUST AS A COMPANY.
