POWER TRAIN
THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED UNDER WARRANTY ON AUGUST 29, 2013. MARCH 13, 2015 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD NOTED THAT SEVERAL MODULES HAVE STORED CODE FOR LOST COMMUNICATIONS WITH TCM MODULE U0101-00. PCM NEEDED FLASH UPDATE WHICH WAS DONE. TCM WAS REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 2018. WE THEN HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHIFTING INTO GEAR WHEN LEAVING PARKED POSITION. COULD NOT REVERSE OR GO FORWARD. WE COULD PHYSICALLY PUT IT INTO GEAR BUT THE CAR ITSELF WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. IT THEN WENT INTO LIMP MODE. ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 26 IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE PARKED. WE DROVE IT TO CROWFOOT DODGE ON MONDAY, AUGUST 27. AS WE WERE BRINGING IT IN THE CAR WENT TO LIMP MODE AS DRIVING. SO WE LEFT IT WHERE IT STOPPED. WE CALLED THE DODGE MECHANIC AND HE TOLD US THAT HE THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PART BUT IT SHOULD BE FIXED ON WEDNESDAY. THE PART WAS NOT THERE ON WEDNESDAY NOR THURSDAY. WE THEN CALLED ON FRIDAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND THE CAR STILL HAD SOME INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ON THE STATEMENT THEY WROTE THAT THE ACTUATOR FOR 1 CLUTCH AND 3 WAS FAULTY AND BECAUSE IT WAS INTEGRATED INTO THE TRANSMISSION THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO REPLACED FOR $11,000. THIS CAR'S WARRANTY EXPIRED ON JUNE 29, 2018 AND 140,000 KM'S CURRENT READ. AS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY WHILE WE WERE STILL IN WARRANTY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND FROM THE DEALER. IT HAS STALLED ON ME AND ON OCCASIONS, IT DOES NOTHING WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO START. TOTAL ELECTRICAL DEFECT. SENT LEMON LAW FORM AND ONLY GOT A NEW BATTERY FROM CHRYSLER. THE CAR STILL DOESN'T IDLE OR RUN RIGHT. IN THE STALLING SCENARIO, THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. IN THE NO START IT WAS IN PARK. I NOW HAVE 117,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND FEEL DEFENSELESS TO GET A RESOLUTION. ON OCCASIONS, THE CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT WILL COME ON AS I TURN THE KEY OFF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR STARTED RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF, AT A STOP OR WOULDN'T START ALL TOGETHER. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF RANDOM STALLING AND SHUT OFFS, I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. HE SAID THAT IT HAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WHERE THE CAR THINKS IT HAS LOW OIL, IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE LOW. HAVE BEEN ADDING OIL AND CHECKING CONSISTENTLY FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND RECENTLY IT REFUSED TO TURN ON. GOT A JUMP AND THE CAR STARTED. HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED AT AUTO PARTS STORE , CAR STARTED UP NO PROBLEM, AND BOTH WERE FINE, BATTERY FULLY CHARGED. NOT MORE THAN 10 MINUTES AFTER TESTING THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON. JUMPED IT AND IT STARTED, DROVE HOME. AGAIN, TRIED TO START IT A FEW HOURS LATER AND NOTHING, NEEDED ANOTHER JUMP. USED A SCANNER TO CHECK FOR COMPUTER ISSUES AND NOTHING CAME UP. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT 10 MILES, SHUT IT OFF AND AGAIN NEEDED A JUMP. THE CAR SEEMS TO JUST SHUT OFF OR NOT START FOR NO REAL REASON. ONE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE, THE OTHER HAD IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE BLAMING THE OIL ISSUE AND NOW THIS. NO RECALLS ON THIS CAR, ALREADY CHECKED THE VIN NUMBER. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS CAR AT THIS POINT WITHOUT SPENDING MORE ON IT THAN IT IS WORTH. 2014 DODGE DART, 98,000 MILES
