BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT THEN CAME TO A STOP AND SWITCHED GEAR TO DRIVE. THE CAR STAYED IN REVERSE YET THE SHIFTER WAS IN THE DRIVE POSITION. MOVED IT TO THE PARK POSITION AND NO CHANGE CAR WAS STILL READING AS REVERSE. LATER FIND OUT THAT THE CLIP HOLDING THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE TO THE LEVER HAD BROKE. AFTER APPLYING THE EBRAKE AND MANUALLY GOING UNDER THE HOOD TO SWITCH THE LEVER TO PARK OR NEUTRAL WAS THE CAR ABLE TO BE STOPPED AND TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. THE ONLY OFFER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WETHER IT IS THE PIECE CONNECTED TO THE LEVER OR THE ACTUALLY SHIFT IS TO GET A COMPLETELY NEW CABLE. THIS CABLE IS NOT PART OF THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY ALTHOUGH THE PRNDL POSITION SWITCH IS. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OTHER DODGE DART OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM OR PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (ONLY RECALLED IN 1.4L TURBOS). BOTH ARE SERIOUS PROBLEMS THAT AFFECT AND CAN HINDER THE DRIVABILITY OF THE CAR.
