RECALL R42 WAS COMPLETED ON MAY 7 2018, AS OF TODAY THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE ORIGINAL SAFETY RECALL BOTH THE DEALER AND FCA SAID THAT THE 2 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE TCM HAS EXPIRED BY 2 MONTHS. APPARENTLY THE SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES. THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR A NEW TCM. I FEEL THAT THE FIX THEY DID ORIGINALLY WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND DODGE SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BY TAKING CARE OF THE SAME PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2013 DODGE DART AND THE SHIFTER CABLE THAT WAS RECALLED IN MAY OF 2013 HAS FAILED AGAIN AND I CAN NOT TURN MY KEY ALL THE WAY TO THE OFF POSITION THEREFORE EITHER HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR RUNNING OR TURN IT WHERE IT SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE BUT DOESNT SHUT EVERYTHING ELSE OFF AND DOORS CAN NOT BE LOCKED. THE GEAR SHIFT CAN BE MOVED BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT IT BEING STARTED OR EVEN HAVING TO PUSH IN THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH IS HAZARDOUS. I TOOK THE BATTERY CABLES OFF SO IT WOULD NOT KILL MY BATTERY LEAVING EVERYTHING ON AND I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT SOME LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD KID DOESNT GET IN MY CAR BECAUSE IF THE GEAR KNOB IS ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED IT CAN ROLL AWAY. I HAVE REPEATEDLY REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AND I CAN ONLY GUESS THAT BECAUSE THEIR HAD BEEN NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURY REPORTED THEY WILL NOT INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT A LIFE ISNT THE COST OF THEIR SELFISHNESS TO LOOSING MONEY FOR DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THESE CARS.

I WAS IN STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT AT THE MALL AND MY CAR MOVED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN PARK. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT WAS HARD TO MOVE IT INTO DRIVE. ONCE I DID I DROVE IT AROUND A LITTLE BIT THINKING MAYBE SOMETHING WAS STUCK SO THEN I PUT IN PARK AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND IT WAS FINE. IT HAS DONE THIS ON A FEW OCCASIONS TO ME. I CALLED THE PLACE I GOT MY CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. FAST TRACK A FEW WEEKS LATER I GOT THE SAFETY RECALL IN FOR THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BRUSHING V34 THAT WAS FROM APRIL 2019 WHEN IT WAS MAY 2020. PLUS ON THE ONE RECALL PAPER I GOT IT ALSO SAYS I HAVE ANOTHER RECALL (V50) THAT WAS FROM LAST YEAR THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF. IT EXPLAINS THE SAME THING I WENT THROUGH COULD HAPPEN. I CALLED THE PLACE I GOT MY CAR AND THEY ONCE AGAIN TOLD ME THEY HAD NO IDEA. I CALLED A DODGE DEALERSHIP BUT TOLD ME DUE TO COVID THEY COULDNT FIX MY RECALL RIGHT NOW. I CALLED THE PLACE I GOT MY CAR AGAIN AND I ASKED ABOUT A RENTAL UNTIL I COULD GET THIS FIXED. THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN BUT I'D HAVE TO CONTINUE PAYING FOR MY DODGE DART THAT HAS A MAJOR RECALL ON IT PLUS THE RENTAL AND THE INSURANCE. SO I'VE BEEN DRIVING MY DART AROUND AND EVERY NOW AND THEN IT'LL DO IT BUT THE DEALERSHIPS KEEP TELLING ME THE SAME THING. I'M PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT SCARES ME TO DRIVE WITH A MAJOR RECALL THAT NOBODY CAN APPARENTLY FIX. I'M READY TO LEAVE IT AT THE LOT.

SERVICE BRAKES
CAR IS EXPERIENCING A FLUCTUATING BRAKE PEDAL. AT TIMES, I WILL HAVE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP PROPERLY. OTHER TIMES... IT IS FINE AND NORMAL PEDAL PRESSURE IS PRESENT. FLUID LEVEL IS FINE. IT IS A BIT DISCONCERTING WHEN YOU GO TO HIT THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR BEFORE YOU HAVE ENOUGH PRESSURE TO STOP THE CAR. MY FEAR IS THAT IN A SITUATION WHERE I NEED TO BRAKE QUICKLY, IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH MY 2013 DODGE DART LIMITED. I PURCHASED IT WITH 36,900 MILES ON IT BACK IN JULY OF 2016. HERE WE ARE IN JULY OF 2020 AND THE CAR DOES NOT EVEN HAVE 67,000 MILES ON IT. MY PROBLEM LISTED WAS CREATED ONLY ROUGHLY A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING. THE ENTIRE UCONNECT SYSTEM MAKES MY VEHICLE UNABLE TO OPERATE SAFELY. WHETHER IT'S THE SCREEN GOING BLACK WHERE I CAN NOT CONTROL/CHANGE ANYTHING. THE TOUCH SCREEN IS EVERYTHING VOLUME, HVAC, BLUETOOTH, 'SUPPOSED TO WORK WITH REMOTE START. I HAVE HAD MY CODES CHECKED; CYLINDER 1 MODULE MISFIRE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH AND MY VEHICLE BEING STUCK UNABLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT SIMPLY WOULD NOT START(ACTED LIKE IT WOULD BUT WOULD NOT.) FOR THE ENTIRE WINTER OF 2018. COME SUMMER OF 2019 THE AIR WAS STILL HORRIBLEBUT MY INFANT WAS NOW IN THE VEHICLE. SEEING A POOR NEWBORN HAVE SWEAT ROLLING OFF HIS FACE ON A WAY TO A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT PROBABLY IS WHAT DONE ME IN THE MOST. THIS VEHICLE HAS SOME COOL UCONNECT BELLS AND WHISTLES BUT IT IS LIKE THEY ATTEMPTED TO PUT SOMETHING IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT CAPABLE OF HANDLING ALL THE ADVANCEMENTS. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES.I'VE REPLACED PARTS WITHIN THE HVAC TWICE! NOW MY ODOMETER IS BLINKING; RED FLAG.I AM SERIOUSLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. IT SITS FOR MOST OF THE TIME.IN THE LASR 2 YEARS I'VE MAYBE DRIVEN IT A TOTAL OF 5,000 IF THAT! I HAVE MY CAR ALMOST COMPLETELY PAID OFF AND HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN ABLE TO PUT OVER 31,000 MILES ON IT IN 4 FOUR YEARS!HOW ABSURD AND RIDICULOUS! THE DEALERSHIP ALWAYS WANT TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE MENTIONED THE ISSUES EACH TIME I'VE PAID FOR THEM PREVIOUSLY. THEY JUST HAVE 'QUICK FIX' AS THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME FOR THIS. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER GOING TO COLLEGE THAT CANNOT FINANCIALLY AFFORD ALL THIS! THE CAR RANDOMLY AFTER BEING SHUT DOWN WILL NOT RESTART. BEEN STUCK FOR A COUPLE MONTHS NOW IN THE GARAGE.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER 56,000 MILES. PRIOR TRANSMISSION RELATED RECALL WAS PERFORMED. THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT SOMETHING BROKE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION RENDERING IT UNABLE TO SHIFT. BASED ON THE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS IN VARIOUS DODGE DART FORUMS, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, NOT UNIQUE TO MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE IN A PLACE WHERE I COULD PULL OVER AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PRETTY MUCH EVERY RECALL THAT IS ON THE LIST NUMBER ONE IT STARTED WITH MY CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. AND THE CODES THAT KEPT ON COMING UP OR FOR THE PLUGS AND COILS. I WOULD REPLACE THEM AND THEY WOULD JUST GO BAD AGAIN IN LIKE A WEEK IT IS CAUSING MY CAR TO DO WHAT SEEMS LIKE IT'S MISFIRING. MY TIRE LIGHT IS STUCK ON WHEN THE TIRES ARE FINE. THE SPEED CONTROL STOPS WORKING ON AND OFF. WHEN I STEER THERE'S A LOUD CLICKING NOISE. WHENEVER I TRY TO SHIFT HERE LATELY SOMETIMES IT WON'T GO INTO GEAR. WHEN I TURN ON THE AC IT WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO MISFIRE AND THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO TURN OFF THE AC AND RESTART THE CAR SOMETIMES THREE TO FOUR TIMES BEFORE IT STOPS MESSING UP.TODAY THE SCARIEST THING OF ALL HAPPENED I WAS PULLING OUT OF BRONZE AND WHITE SMOKE BILLOWED OUT OF THE CAR TAILPIPES I'M NOT SURE WHY. THE CAR IS ALSO SPORADICALLY NOT GOING IN GEAR WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY MAKING ME WORRY THAT ME AND MY FIVE KIDS ARE IN DANGER DUE TO SOMEONE RAIKKONEN TO ME BECAUSE MY CAR WILL NOT GO UP TO SPEED AND WILL NOT SHIFT INTO THE RIGHT GEAR AND MISFIRES AND WILL NOT GO OVER LIKE 30 MILES PER HOUR AND PUTZ. I REPLACE PARTS AND IT SEEMS TO WORK WELL FOR A WEEK OR TWO BUT MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST THEY SAY THAT EVERY SINGLE THING THAT IS ON THE RECALL LIST IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT ALL OF THIS I HONESTLY YOU JUST THINK THAT DART NEEDS TO TAKE THE CAR BACK.. LIKE RECALL IT COMPLETELY. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE AFTER THE FIRST YEAR OF DRIVING IT. *TR

I OWN A 2013 DODGE DART AND HAVE SENT IN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND THERE STILL NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF AND WILL NOT GO INTO PARK WITHOUT HAVING TO MESS WITH IT FOR 10 MIN OR MORE AND SOME DAYS I HAVE TO JUST LEAVE THE KEYS IN IT AND DO WHAT I GOTTA DO BECAUSE THE KEYS WONT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN THIS HAPPENS. SO NOT ONLY AM I TAKING RISK OF GETTING MY CAR STOLEN BUT WHAT IF A KID GOT IN THE CAR JUST PLAYING AND STARTED THE CAR , WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN THEN. I HAVE REPORTED THESE ISSUES SO SO SO MANY TIMES AND EVEN SENT IN MORE INFO WHEN NHTSA CONTACTED ME WANTING TO KNOW MORE INFO ABOUT A COMPLAINT I HAD SUBMITTED BUT STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THESE CARS EXCEPT IN CALIFORNIA AND MICHIGAN I BELIEVE AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IF THERE IS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN THOSE STATES FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS OTHERS FROM DIFFERENT STATES ARE HAVING WHY CAN THEY NOT DO A NATIONWIDE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THESE CARS WERE ALL MANUFACTURED FROM THE SAME PLACE SO IT SHOULD NOT MATTER WHAT STATES ARE STRICTER ABOUT THE LEMON LAWS THEN OTHERS WHEN IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THAT MAKES IT SEEM LIKE CERTAIN STATES LIVES MATTER AND SOME STATES DO NOT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD I HAVE REPEATEDLY SENT IN COMPLAINTS TO SO,SO,SO MANY SAFETY SITES AND ALL VEHICLE CONSUMER PROBLEM SITES AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO MY PART AND LET THEM KNOW HOW UNSAFE THESE CARS ARE AND JUST HOPE THAT SOMETHING IS DONE BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED HAD THEY JUST INVESTIGATED THE ISSUES. THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE VERY SAME ISSUES THAT THEY RECEIVE DAILY IS UNBELIEVABLY INSANE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. *TR

WOULD NOT START FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, THEN STARTED AND RAN FINE. ON THE WAY TO THE MECHANIC, TRANSMISSION WENT INTO NEUTRAL ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS NEAR AN EXIT, I HAD TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND AN AUTO ELECTRIC SHOP TOLD ME THE TCM AND THE VALVE BODY INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACING. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP TOLD ME THEY CALLED CHRYSLER AND WERE TOLD THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WAS A PROGRAM ISSUE AND REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WOULD FIX NOTHING. THEN CHRYSLER TOLD THEM IF THEY FIGURE IT OUT, TO LET THEM KNOW. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ON THREE OCCASIONS, MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS ON AND IN DRIVE. ON ONE OCCASION, IN SEPTEMBER 2019, I DRIFTED TO SAFETY AND TRIED PUTTING MY CAR IN PARK, THE SHIFTER EFFORTLESSLY SLID TO PARK MODE BUT THE LIGHT WAS ON "D" AS IF IT WERE IN DRIVE. I COULD NOT TAKE MY KEY OUT BECAUSE MY CAR THOUGHT IT WAS IN DRIVE SO I WAS STUCK WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK, WITH A CAR THAT SHUT DOWN ON ME. I COULDN'T EVEN MOVE THE KEY TO TRY TO TAKE IT OUT AND RESTART THE CAR. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN AND "FIXED IT'. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A V34 RECALL AND THAT THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION SIDE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING. HOWEVER, LESS THAN A YEAR LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, TWICE TODAY (JUNE 2020). ONCE ON MY WAY TOO THE GYM AND ONCE FROM THE GYM, BACK HOME. ON BOTH OCCASIONS TODAY, THE ELECTRONICS ON THE TOUCH SCREEN AND THE DIGITAL DISPLAY THAT DISPLAYS THE SPEED WENT BLACK AND RESTARTED THEN MY CAR COMPLETELY DIED WHILE IN DRIVE. CARS PILED UP BEHIND ME. PEOPLE WERE HONKING AND ANGRY. I TRIED MOVING THE SHIFTER TO PARK SO I COULD TAKE MY KEY OUT AND RESTART BUT THE CAR LOCKED UP ON ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFT OR TAKE MY KEY OUT. I HAD TO WIGGLE THE KEY OUT FOR OVER A COUPLE MIN AND EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE KEY IN PARK AND TAKE IT OUT AND RESTARTED MY CAR. IT CAUSED A TRAFFIC DILEMMA AND WAS TERRIFYING THAT MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN A NOT SO SAFE AREA AND ON A REALLY BUSY ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR. HOW COULD YOU SELL A CAR TO SOCIETY THAT WILL SPONTANEOUSLY STOP? I COULD HAVE DIED! *TR
