THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED UNDER WARRANTY ON AUGUST 29, 2013. MARCH 13, 2015 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD NOTED THAT SEVERAL MODULES HAVE STORED CODE FOR LOST COMMUNICATIONS WITH TCM MODULE U0101-00. PCM NEEDED FLASH UPDATE WHICH WAS DONE. TCM WAS REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 2018. WE THEN HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHIFTING INTO GEAR WHEN LEAVING PARKED POSITION. COULD NOT REVERSE OR GO FORWARD. WE COULD PHYSICALLY PUT IT INTO GEAR BUT THE CAR ITSELF WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. IT THEN WENT INTO LIMP MODE. ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 26 IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE PARKED. WE DROVE IT TO CROWFOOT DODGE ON MONDAY, AUGUST 27. AS WE WERE BRINGING IT IN THE CAR WENT TO LIMP MODE AS DRIVING. SO WE LEFT IT WHERE IT STOPPED. WE CALLED THE DODGE MECHANIC AND HE TOLD US THAT HE THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PART BUT IT SHOULD BE FIXED ON WEDNESDAY. THE PART WAS NOT THERE ON WEDNESDAY NOR THURSDAY. WE THEN CALLED ON FRIDAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND THE CAR STILL HAD SOME INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ON THE STATEMENT THEY WROTE THAT THE ACTUATOR FOR 1 CLUTCH AND 3 WAS FAULTY AND BECAUSE IT WAS INTEGRATED INTO THE TRANSMISSION THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO REPLACED FOR $11,000. THIS CAR'S WARRANTY EXPIRED ON JUNE 29, 2018 AND 140,000 KM'S CURRENT READ. AS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY WHILE WE WERE STILL IN WARRANTY.

THE PARKING BRAKE HAS FAILED ON TWO OCCASIONS, ONCE WHILE STATIONARY WHEN IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT CRASHED INTO A CAR IN THEIR PARKING LOT IN 2016. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP IN 2015-2016 THIRTEEN TIMES FOR OIL LEAKS AND THE ENGINE EITHER DYING OR ALMOST SEIZING WHILE IN MOTION. THIS RESULTED IN MY VEHICLE STARTING ON FIRE IN LATE 2016 EARLY 2017. THE REPAIR FOR THE FIRE DAMAGE WAS COVERED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY FIXED BY A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AFTER THAT. MORE RECENTLY, IT WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ROLLED INTO MY TRUCK AND DAMAGED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE'S BUMPER WHILE STATIONARY WITH THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. THE SYMPTOMS WITH THE ENGINE HAVE ALSO STARTED TO REAPPEAR WHILE IN MOTION IN 3RD OR 4TH GEAR... IT STARTS TO ACT LIKE IT'S GOING TO COMPLETELY DIE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAVE IT BACK IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS. SOME OF THE RECALLS LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE SOUND LIKE THINGS I HAVE EXPERIENCED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO. MY TIME IS THE MAIN THING I CARE ABOUT AT THIS POINT AND DON'T WANT TO SPEND ANOTHER 2 YEARS ENDLESSLY IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP. I JUST WANT A CAR THAT OPERATES NORMALLY.

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART AERO 6 SPEED MANUAL, DUAL DRY CLUTCH, MULTI AIR TURBO. I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2017. 4 MONTHS LATER I HAD BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO CARSENSE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. MEANWHILE I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES ALSO DUE TO BRAKING ISSUES AND MY EBRAKE WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN. IT WORKED WHEN IT WANTED TO, BUT YET EVERYTHING IS IN "GREAT CONDITION" SAYS CARSENCE.MIND YOU THAT I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY AND IT WAS RECENTLY INSPECTED IN JANUARY 2017. SERVICE DEPT. INSPECTED MY BRAKES AND GAVE ME THE CURRENT MEASUREMENTS OF EXISTING BRAKE PADS LEFT. ABOUT JUNE 2018 I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN IN A 25 MPH SIDE STREET WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC. I HAD TROUBLE SLOWING DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN I MANAGED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP I HEARD A LOUD BANG. HERE MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR ROTOR WAS SEVERELY SMOKING AND I NOTICED MY ROTOR WAS REDHOT. MY ROTOR SNAPPED COMPLETELY IN HALF. MY SHIFTER WOULD RANDOMLY POP OUT OF GEAR OR THE CLUTCH WOULD LIGHTLY STICK, SMELLING EXHAUST ODOR I'M NOW PUSHING 62, 000 MILES AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW. I AM COMING HOME INTO MY DEVELOPMENT. I'M IN SECOND GEAR TURNING ONTO MY LANE AND DOING MAYBE 10 MPH WELL IT DECIDES TO POP OUT OF GEAR AND ACCELERATES, REDLINING SECOND GEAR(I'M ASSUMING IT THINKS IT'S IN SECOND) AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE FLASHING STEERING WHEEL IT LOCKED. CAR IS NOW DOING 80 MPH IN A 15 MPH ZONE. MY BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL BRAKE PEDAL IS HARDER THAN HARD. I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE!! ENGINE FINALLY CUTS OUT AFTER I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. COMES TO A SCREECHING HALT. THANK GOD. IT WONT START STILL TO THIS DAY..OIL IN TURBO AND UP THE HOSE. BATTERY PLAYS DEAD ALONG WITH MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AND MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS A COMPUTER UPGRADE THAT'S NOT EVEN AVAILABLE FOR THE 1.4L TURBO ENGINE...IT NEEDS A TCM, NEW MASTER CYLINDER.

NHTSA ODI 11194829

I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE AND IT SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL AND IS NOW STUCK THERE. MY KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION DUE TO IT BEING STUCK IN NEUTRAL.

NHTSA ODI 11192543

THE CLUTCH GETS STUCK ON THE FLOOR AND I'M UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I'VE BEEN STUCK IN MY DRIVE WAY BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THE GEAR INTO THE REVERSE POSITION. SAME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC WHERE I'M STUCK BECAUSE I CAN GET THE GEAR INTO FIRST TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD. ONCE I DO GET THE GEAR TO GO THE CAR SHOOTS FORWARD DANGEROUSLY. THERE IS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE UP A HILL THE CAR CAN BARELY MOVE AND THE RPMS GO HIGHER YET THERE'S NO POWER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE "AUTO STICK UNAVAILABLE" MESSAGE APPEARED, WHICH THEN CHANGED TO "SERVICE TRANSMISSION". THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE, "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES OCCURRED AT LEAST FIVE TIMES PER WEEK FOR THE PAST FIVE MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

I HAVE FELT SLIPS IN THE TRANSMISSION LATELY BUT YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND IT JUST WENT TO NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT GO IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE DASH DISPLAYED WORDS SAYING SERVICE NEEDED ON TRANSMISSION. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND WITED A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN, IT WENT INTO DRIVE AND I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY WHICH WAS A BLOCK AWAY. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW WHERE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. AM I COVERED ON THIS?

NHTSA ODI 11183186

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PERIODICALLY COMES ON AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WORK. THE MESSAGE GIVEN ON THE DASH IS THAT THE GEAR BOX ISN'T AVAILABLE. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, THE INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHES AND THE CAR WON'T MOVE. THE CAR SITS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, THEN IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN FOR A FEW WEEKS. IT IS ASININE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT BY THE MANUFACTURER. THANK GOODNESS THIS HASN'T HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREETS, BUT IT WILL EVENTUALLY. WHEN I BACKED IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE OTHER MORNING IT STOPPED WORKING AND THE ENGINE JUST REVVED. I WOULD RATHER JUNK THIS CAR THAN FIX IT, BUT WE STILL OWE ON IT. WE'VE ONLY HAD THE STUPID THING FOR 6 MONTHS AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE OWNER PRIOR TO US. THIS IS TWO FOR TWO FOR CRAP DODGE CARS. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER!

I WAS DRIVING TO MY LOCAL ALBERTSONS AND WHEN PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPACE IN THE CAR LOT I WENT TO SHIFT MY TRANSMISSION INTO PARK BUT WHEN I MOVED THE STICK UP FROM DRIVE TO PARK I NOTICED THAT THE STICK FELT TOO SMOOTH AS IF IT DIDNT CATCH. SURE ENOUGH WHEN I CHECKED THE LIGHT STILL READ "D" FOR DRIVE INSTEAD OF "P" FOR PARK AT THIS POINT I HAD A VEHICLE THAT I COULDN'T NORMALLY SHIFT SO MAINTAINING MY FOOT ON THE BREAK I WAS ABLE TO POWER OFF THE ENGINE BUT MY KEYS WERE STILL STUCK INSIDE AS THATS A FEATURE OF THE CAR IF THE CAR IS NOT SET ON PARK. I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY HAND BRAKE AND LUCKLY THE CAR WASN'T MOVING ON ITS OWN. AFTER CALLING AAA TO TOW MY CAR THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE SHIFT CABLE BUSHING HAD BROKE. HE SAID I WAS LUCKY TO BE IN A SITUATION WHERE I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN THE SAFE AREA TO ADDRESS THIS AS HAD THIS HAPPENED IF I WAS REVERSING ON A HILL OR ATTEMPTING PARK DOWNHILL AND IT BROKE THEN IT COULD HAVE LED TO A COLLISION.

NHTSA ODI 11182842

I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR, MY LIFE HAS BEEN PUT IN DANGER ON COUNTLESS OCCASIONS. THE 2013 DODGE DART SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD, IT IS A DANGER TO OTHERS AND TO ITS DRIVERS. I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2013 AND FROM DAY ONE I ALWAYS FELT THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WAY IT SHIFTED. IT IS NOW 2019 AND FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS THE CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE RECALL. THE CAR HAS REVVED UP TO 80 MPH ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, IF I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE I WOULD HAVE DRIVEN IN TO THE INTERSECTION. THE CARS RPMS HAVE GONE UP TO 7,000 WHILE I WAS AT 50 MPH, THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS SHIFTING BACK DOWN WHILE COMING TO A SLOWER SPEED ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT IN COLD TEMPERATURES AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, THE CAR HAS LOST ALL BOOST WHILE STEPPING ON THE GAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, THE CAR IS 6 YEARS OLD 67,000 MILES AND NEEDS THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REPLACED ONE WEEK AFTER MY 6 YEAR WARRANTY ENDED. THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE AND UNPREDICTABLE, NOT ONLY HAS THIS CAR BEEN A FINANCIAL BURDEN BUT IT HAS PUT MINE AND MY CHILD'S LIFE IN DANGER AND THE DEALER CAN NOT FIX THE REOCCURRING PROBLEMS.

IT APPEARS THERE IS AN ALARMING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN I START THE CAR AT DEGREES LOWER THAN 40. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE BUT WHEN IT OCCURS I LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD RESULTING IN MY RPM'S TO JUMP HIGHER THAN NORMAL ACCOMPANIED BY VIBRATION AND RATALING COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OR TIRE (ITS HARD TO TELL) . FROM MY RESEARCH, THE COLD START ISSUE WAS A RECALL FOR 2013 DODGE DART BUT IT IS NOT SHOWING FOR MY VIN. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME REGUARDING THIS COMPLAINT??

WAS DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP. THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND STARTED TO SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO FIGHT TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD SINCE THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. ALL THE LIGHTS REMAINED LIT UP. I BELIEVE IT'S THE PCM DO TO OTHER RECALL BUT MY CAR IS A MANUAL AND THE RECALL IS FOR AUTOMATICS ONLY.

I GOT IN MY CAR, STARTED IN, PLACED IT IN DRIVE AND PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I GOT NO MORE THAN 4 FEET AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN FROM DRIVE AND THEN STOP MOVING. I PUT THE BRAKE ON, MOVED THE GEAR STICK INTO PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE GEAR SHIFT AND REALIZED IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND SAID THE SAME ON THE DASH. REPEATED TRIES PROVED TO BE FRUITLESS. THE CAR IS NOW ENGAGED IN DRIVE AND PREVENTS ME FROM REMOVING MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION.
