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.

I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT IT TOOK FOR MY VEHICLE. IT STATED CLEARLY IN THE RECALL LETTER I RECEIVED THAT THE SERVICE WOULD TAKE 1 HOUR. MAYBE A LITTLE LONGER. WHEN I MADE THE APPT. I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE IN STOCK. I DROPPED OFF MY CAR THE NEXT MORNING, AND WAS TOLD 3 HOURS IF I WANTED TO WAIT. I CALLED THEM 2 DAYS LATER AND WAS TOLD PARTS NEEDED TO BE ORDERED, AND IT WOULD BE 2 WEEKS UNTIL THEY (THE DEALERSHIP) COULD GET THEM. AFTER THE 2 WEEKS, WITH NO UPDATE FROM THEM, I GOT A CALL SAYING THE PARTS DIDNT TAKE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THEM AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME. ALL IN ALL MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR A MONTH FOR A 1 HOUR TREATMENT. ON TOP OF THAT MY VEHICLE, WHICH I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IN, WAS RETURNED TO ME FILTHY AND WITH A BROKEN SEAT. AFTER OVER 30 DAYS IN A DEALERSHIP AND IT COULDNT EVEN BE DETAILED OR CLEANED?? MAYBE AN OIL CHANGE? I HAVE COMPLAINED TO DODGE AND THEY ARE SWEEPING IT UNDER THE RUG JUST AS THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE.
