SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED TWICE DUE TO IT SHAKING WHILE TRYING TO STOP. I ALSO HAVE PUT ON THREE SETS OF ROTORS DUE TO THE SHAKING AND EVEN WITH BRAND NEW ROTORS THE BOUNCING AND SHAKING WILL NOT GO AWAY. THE NEWEST PROBLEM NOW IS THE BRAKES NOT WANTING TO WORK. I HAVE HAD THEM CHECKED BY MECHANICS AND THEY SAY THERE'S NOTHING TO DO BUT CHANGE THEM OUT AGAIN!

LAST NIGHT I WAS DRIVING ONTO A HIGHWAY ENTRANCE. I WENT TO SWITCH FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I WAS GOING ABOUT 25 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO SHIFT GEARS AND I HEARD A LOUD CLICK. I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND THE PEDAL WAS STUCK, PUSHED ALL THE WAY IN. I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD, AND BY HAND, PULL THE PEDAL UP. NOW EVERY TIME I PUSH THE CLUTCH PEDAL IN TO SHIFT GEARS IT GETS STUCK AND I HAVE TO WEDGE MY FOOT UNDER THE PEDAL TO PULL IT BACK UP WITH MY FOOT. I ONLY DID THIS TO DRIVE MY CAR BACK HOME. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT SINCE.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HAD THIS 2015 DODGE DART FOR 1 WEEK. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED ME 546.74 FOR A CAR THAT I BOUGHT A WEEK AGO, FOR A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT CAUSED BY ME. THE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AFTER SITTING FOR A DAY. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF AND THE CAR.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME LAST YEAR AROUND OCTOBER TO DECEMBER AND IT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. I START MY CAR AND I WILL BE DRIVING. THE CAR WILL THEN STOP RUNNING WHILE I'M IN DRIVE, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP BUT RADIO AND EVERYTHING WILL STILL BE ON. IT IS ALMOST LIKE MY CAR DIED. I AM THEN STUCK WHEREVER THE CAR BREAKS DOWN ON ME AT AND I WILL TRY AND START MY CAR. IT USUALLY TAKE 2 OR 3 TIMES BEFORE IT EVENTUALLY STARTS BACK UP. AND I ONLY HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OVER ONCE AND IT WILL KEEP TURNING OVER THE ENGINE UNTIL I TURN THE KEY TO TURN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF. IT ALSO SEEMS AS IF I HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT FOR THE CAR TO RUN FOR A MINUTE WHEN IT DOES START BACK UP BEFORE I CAN TAKE OFF AGAIN OR IT WILL JUST DIE ON ME AGAIN WHILE IM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR ANY OTHER LIGHT ON UNTIL IT SHUTDOWN ON ME. USUALLY ITS THE BATTERY LIGHT OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. BUT AS SOON AS IT STARTS UP AGAIN THEY ARE GONE. I KEEP UP TO DATE ON MY OIL CHANGES. I HAVE NO CLUE WHY IT DOES THIS. I ALSO RECENTLY CHANGED MY BATTERY. I ALSO HAD BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED AND THEY WERE GOOD. THERES TIMES I NOTICE MY CAR IDLING ON ITS OWN WHEN I START THE CAR AND WHEN I TAKE IT OUT OF PARK IT WANTS TO TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME OR EVERYDAY. ITS SCARY WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN AS I COULD BE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY CAR RANDOMLY WANTS TO SHUT DOWN ON ME. IT FEELS UNSAFE.

I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED IN THE REMOTE. NOW THE TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. THE REVERSE LIGHTS ARE OUT. I REPLACED THE BULBS. STILL WON'T WORK, THE TRUNK LIGHT IS OUT. NOW THE CAR HAS STARTED TO BEEP BEEP LIKE I HAVE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED THE DOOR WHEN I HAVE NOT TOUCHED IT. I HAVE TO REPLACE MY BATTERY EVERY 3 MONTHS. SOMETHING IS WRONG. I HAVE PAID MONEY AT BREWBAKER AND FIRESTONE IN MONTGOMERY AL. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I START THE CAR UP. THE CAR BEEPS BEEPS WHEN IT IS PARKED AND THE DOORS LOCKED.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS STOPPED ON A STREET THAT WAS A STEEP HILL CHECKING MY MAILBOX. WHEN I WENT TO GO UP THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT WORK AT ALL. CAR STARTED TO GO BACKWARDS. NO WARNING ON DASHBOARD EVER ABOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO WITH A LOT OF STRENGTH PUMP THEM UP. WENT UP DRIVEWAY AND AGAIN WOULD NOT STOP WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCAREY.

POWER TRAIN
CLUTCH PEDAL GETS STUCK CLOSE TO THE FLOOR UPON START UP AND CLUTCH MAY NOT RE-ENGAGE WHEN UP SHIFTING. HAPPENED ON A BUSY CITY STREET AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL, AS THE SECOND OWNER I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND THE TIME OF THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ALTHOUGH I AM STILL UNDER THE MILEAGE BUT THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME. I WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WAS NOT JUST DRIVER ERROR WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED SUMMER OF 2019 IF I HAD BEEN PROPERLY NOTIFIED. INSTEAD IT WAS NOT UNTIL SEPT 27 2020 WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL STARTED STICKING THAT I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THE INFO OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN. 4 DEALERSHIPS HAD MY CAR MULTIPLE TIMES AND NONE OF THEM MENTIONED THIS EITHER.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
NO OIL LIGHT ON, NO ENGINE LIGHT, AND IT STALLED. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH OIL CONSUMPTION WITH THE 2.4 ENGINE. MY CAR DIED AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND STARTING A TURN. Y CAR STALLED OUT TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS VERY DANGEROUS. BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, MUSIC CONTINUED, BUT ENGINGE JUST DIED. THE STEERING WHEEL FROZE (NO MORE POWER STEERING), AND I COULDN'T PRESS MY BRAKE DOWN, IT JUST SAT THERE IN THE ROAD. I CHECKED THE LEVEL OF MY OIL AND IT DOESN'T EVEN COVER THE CURVED PART OF THE DIPSTICK, THAT'S HOW LOW IT IS.THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN, A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. THE CAR IS NOT INDICATING WHEN IT NEEDS OIL, AND IS SHUTTING ITSELF OFF SO IT DOESN'T OVER HEAT WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS 70MPH+ AND IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS WHILE TURNING.

MY BRAKE CALIPERS ARE LOOSE ON THE VEHICLE SO MUCH THAT YOU CAN SHAKE THEM WITH YOUR BARE HANDS AND AS YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD YOU HEAR A NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CLICKING SOUND I WOULD LIKE THIS TO B LOOKED AT AS A POSSIBLE RECALL IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IM WORRY THAT IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND MY SON OR I COULD GET HURT OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE. YOU CAN HEAR THIS NOISE AS YOU ARE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WHEN U HOT A SMALL BUMP ON MY PRIVATE ROAD I LIVE ON.
