"DODE DART RECALL" I RECEIVED A POSTAGE A FEW MONTHS AGO ABOUT A RECALL FOR MY DART, EVERYTIME I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT ALLSTAR ABOUT THE RECALL THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THE PARTS HAVE YET TO ARRIVE., I HAVE HAD MY CAR A YEAR AND A HALF. CURRENTLY EVERYTIME I START MY CAR IT IS SAYING SERVICE TRANSMISSION ON THE DASH. ON SEVERAL OCASSIONS THE CAR HAS AUTOMATICALLY WENT INTO THE NEURAL SHIFT, WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ME TO COMPLETLY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC!!!!!I HAVE ALMOST BEEN INTO ABOUT 4 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE GLITCH WITH MY TRANSMISSION, THE AIR ALSO WILL WORK AND BLOW OUT HOT AIR ON ONE SIDE. EVERYTIME I STOP AT A STOP SIGN THE CAR STRUGGLES TO PULL OFF CAUSING MY CAR TO JERK TREMENDOUSLY I AM DESTINED TO GET THIS ISSUED RESOLVED . ALLSTAR STILL HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME BACK ABOUT THE RECALL, I NEED MY CAR FIXED ASAP.

RIGHT NOW I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY EVAP SYSTEM, TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. WITH THE EVAP SYSTEM I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT AND I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP AS THE SYSTEM STATED AND I STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. THE ENGINE ISSUE NOW IS THAT THE CAR IS VERY HESITANT THAN FROM BEFORE. ESPECIALLY IN FIRST GEAR. I HAVE TO REV THE ENGINE TO GET GOING SOMETIMES. I ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. NOW THE CLUTCH GOES TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE OR STICKS TO THE FLOOR WHEN I AM ON THE ROAD FOR A WHILE OR WHEN IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR AND FEW MONTHS AND IT JUST GETS WORSE. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR IS UNSAFE.

THE CAR WON'T START. BATTERY IS COMPLETLY DEAD. WON'T EVEN CHARGE. (THAT'S NOT THE BIG DEAL) THE BIG DEAL IS WHEN I TRY TO REVERSE IT'S LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO GET IN GEAR. THEN WHOLE CAR SHAKES, AND THEN IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION STOPS AND IS ABOUT TO DROP. GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ALL TURN RED. HAVE TO START CAR AND TURN BACK ON TO GET IT TO GO TO NORMAL. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TOO. THEN EVENTUALLY TURNS OFF.

PROBLEMS SINCE DAY 1 WITH MY 2013 DODGE DART. THE CLUTCH WOULD STICK IN AND I WOULD HAVE TO POP IT UP WITH MY FOOT. I WOULD TAKE MY CAR IN AND EVEN LEFT IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. AND THE "SPECIALIST" SAID WHAT I WAS TELLING THEM ABOUT THE CLUTCH WAS IMPOSSIBLE! SO I STARTED VIDEOING AND POSTING MY CLUTCH ISSUES ON YOUTUBE. THE RADIO SWITCHES STATIONS BY ITSELF, IT GOES OFF OR WON'T COME ON. I'VE HAD THE RADIO REPLACED AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING! I'VE HAD BATTERY ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY DRAINING AND ULTIMATELY BEING REPLACED. THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ABOUT HALF THE TIME. DEALERSHIP ENDED UP REPLACING THE CLUTCH, HAD MY CAR BACK 2 DAYS AND THE CLUTCH WENT OUT AGAIN. JUNE 11TH 2015 TOOK MY CAR IN IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE REAR BRAKE STARTED STICKING. THEY HAD MY CAR TWO DAYS AND SAID THEY ADJUSTED THE BRAKE BUT COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE SOUND I HEARD COMING FROM MY REAR PASSENGER TIRE. SO TWO WEEKS GO BY AND I TAKE MY CAR BACK AGAIN DEMANDING THEY TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT IT. BY NOW THE RIGHT REAR CALIBER IS STUCK IN AND HAS RUINED MY ROTOR AND BRAKE PAD. LATER MY CAR STARTS SPITTING AND SPUTTERING. TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE ONLY THING THEY COULD FIND WRONG IS THE AIR FLOW PIPE TO THE TURBO WAS LOOSE AND THEY TIGHTENED IT. I DECIDED TO GO TO A NEW MECHANIC, HE SAID ONE OF MY IGNITION COILS BLEW. 8 MONTHS LATER MY CAR STARTS DOING THE SAME THING AND MY MECHANIC SAYS ANOTHER IGNITION COIL BLEW. AND HE CANNOT GET ONE FOR MY EXACT CAR BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL ON BACK ORDER WITH DODGE! HE ALSO INFORMS ME THAT THERE ARE 3 COMPUTERS IN MY CAR AND THEY ARE NOT TALKING TO EACH OTHER. IT TOOK THEM A WHILE TO FIGURE OUT IT WAS THE IGNITION COIL BECAUSE THE COMPUTER DID NOT ALERT THAT TO THEIR TESTER. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND AFTER 3 TECHNICIANS LOOKED AT MY CAR THEY SAID I NEED A NEW TURBO.

WHEN I AM PUTTING MY CAR IN GEAR I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ACCELERATES AT FULL SPEED WHILE MY FOOT IS STILL ON THE BRAKES. I CAN ALSO BE AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE AT FULL SPEED WHILE STATIONARY. MY REVERSE ALSO DOESN'T GO BACKWARDS AT A NORMAL SPEED, IT ALSO STALLS AS I AM ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE.

THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY GO INTO NEUTRAL MODE, AND WILL NOT STAY IN GEAR WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL SAY GEAR NOT AVAILABLE ON THE SCREEN. IT HAS DONE IT ABOUT 5 TIMES IN LESS THAN A MONTH. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE TCM TWICE, BUT THAT DOES NOT WORK. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ABOUT 4 TIMES FOR THIS ONE ISSUE. ONCE IN A SAFE PLACE I CAN CHANGE GEARS BUT STILL SAYS NO GEARS AVAILABLE. TURN OFF AND ON THE CAR, AND IT WILL NOT START. WAIT 20 MIN AND IT MIGHT WORK AGAIN, BUT NOT SURE FOR HOW LONG. IF I CAN GET IT TO START, THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES I CAN NOT GET IT OUT OF PARK. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON MAY 10TH 2016 ON HIGHWAY 290 IN HOUSTON. THE CAR SAID SERVICE TRANSMISSION, BUT NOW I WOULD BE COSTING. IF I GIVE IT GAS THE RPMS WILL GO UP, BUT THE MPH WILL GO DOWN. I HAD TO COST IT OFF THE FREEWAY SINCE THERE WAS NOT A SHOULDER TO STOP ON. ONCE I GOT IT OFF THE FREEWWAY, I HAD TO PUSH IT TO A PARKING LOT. THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH, AND THE DEALER CAN'T FIX THE ISSUE. THE PUT IN A NEW TCM ON THE DART ON 5/10/16, PICKED IT UP AT AROUND NOON. AT AROUND 8PM THE CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUES AGAIN.
