WHILE DRIVING THE SCREEN WILL RANDOMLY GO COMPLETELY BLACK AND THEN START FLICKERING WHITE - MY DASH IS NOW DOING THE SAME, SIMULTANEOUSLY. HOWEVER, THE SCREEN LIGHTS (SPEED, MILES, MPG, ETC) STAY DIM TO WHERE I CAN'T EVEN READ WHAT IS SAYS. MY SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGES WILL GIVE OUT AND THEN PROCEED TO QUICKLY FLICKER UP AND DOWN. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS OF THIS HAPPENING, THE WHOLE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST TWO DAYS, WITHIN A MAXIMUM OF 4 TOTAL HOURS DRIVING TIME. WHEN STARTING MY CAR, IT HESITATES TO START - IT MAKES CLICKING NOISES PRIOR TO ACTUALLY STARTING. THE BATTERY IS FAIRLY NEW AS WELL. MY CENTER CONSOLE RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING, I HAVE ZERO CONTROL OVER THE RADIO / CLIMATE FUNCTION. EVEN AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY, THE PROBLEM RESUMES. THE UCONNECT DOESN'T WORK - NO PHONE SYSTEM, OR BLUETOOTH MUSIC. THE BACK-UP CAMERA HAS COMPLETELY GONE OUT. THERE SEEMS TO BE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE DODGE DART THAT GO UNSOLVED AND ARE A HUGE SAFETY RISK.

THERE'S AN ACTIVE RECALL ON MY 2013 DODGE DART AERO FOR THE SHIFTING CABLE BUSHING. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, MY CAR WASN'T REGISTERING IT WAS IN PARK SO I COULDN'T TURN IT OFF. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP ON MAIN STREET IN NORRISTOWN, PA. MOPAR SAID THE PART WON'T BE SHIPPED TO DEALERS FOR THE RECALL UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST SO THEY WANT TO PUT ANOTHER FAULTY PART IN. THEY ARE TELLING ME I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AND MOPAR SAYS THEY ARE NOT DOING AT REPAYMENTS. THEY HAVE ALSO REFUSED TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR IN THE MEAN TIME. I DON'T FEEL AS A CONSUMER THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OR A RENTAL BECAUSE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I WAS VERY LUCKY NO ONE ELSE WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN MINE FAILED, AND THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY WITHOUT HARMING MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE.

THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME NOW DUE TO MY FINANCES AND I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT AN ACTIVE RECALL WAS TO BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE.

I BOUGHT A DODGE DART 2013 LIMITED EDITION (OR WAS TALKED INTO IT BY YOUR SALESPEOPLE) I WANTED THIS TO BE MY LAST CAR AND I ACTUALLY REALLY LIKED IT. THEN I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL RANDOMLY. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD. A LEMON LAW FIRM CONTACTED ME AND SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE CAR IF I HAD 3 OCCURRENCES WITH RECEIPTS WHICH I SUBMITTED TO THEM. THEY SAID CHRYSLER WAS GIVING ME $3900. I WAS CONFUSED BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE GIVING ME ENOUGH TO REPLACE THE CAR. THEY EXPLAINED CHRYSLER DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT. I ACTUALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT (THAT WAS 2016) AND THOUGHT THE ISSUE HAD BEEN FIXED SO I WAS HAPPY. NOW THIS PAST JULY 4TH 2019 MY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAVE RETURNED. MY CAR HAS 48,000 ONLY AND NOT EVEN THE DODGE EXTENDED WARRANTY (WHICH I WANTED TO NOW PURCHASE) DO NOT COVER 2013 MODELS. THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES TO ME. THEY KNOW THEY SOLD ME A LEMON AND ONE THAT IS NOT SAFE. I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR AND HAVE NOW LEARNED THAT LEMONS ARE BOUGHT AND SOLD BACK TO THE PUBLIC. I WILL NEVER BUY OR SPEAK WELL ABOUT CHRYSLER AGAIN. YOU ARE A FRAUDULENT COMPANY. I WANTED A HONDA ORIGINALLY BUT WAS TALKED OUT OF IT BY NEIGHBORS WHO WORK FOR CHRYSLER. I WILL BE CALLING DEENA CENTOFANTI FROM CHANNEL 2 FOX TO TELL HER I WAS SOLD AN UNSAFE CAR AND I AM STUCK WITH IT. THEY ALREADY KNOW THAT CHRYSLER KNEW THE SYSTEM DESIGN WAS FAULTY IN 2012 BUT RELEASED THE 2013 ANYWAY. SHAMEFUL.
