IN THE MORNINGS WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR MY CLUTCH PEDAL STICKS DOWN AND I HQVE TO PULL IT UP USING MY FOOT/HAND. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION DARTS. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER ABIUT THE ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET SAY THAT IT IS A SLAVE/ MASTER CYLINDER ISSUE AND IF NOTHING IS DONE DURING EARLY STAGES LIKE STARTING YOUR CAR IN THE MORNING. IT DOES START TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND DOES CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A HUGE SAFTEY CONCERN THAT THEY SHOULD FIX.

WAS OUT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, BECAUSE HAS TO ORDER THE PART FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

CAR WILL NOT START. IT WILL TURN ON BUT NOT START THE CAR. BATTERY AND STARTER WERE REPLACED. MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE FUSE BOX WAS HOT, EVEN THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS COOL. HE FEELS THAT IT COULD BE THE COMPUTER OR FUSE BOX. THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES START. BUT, I HAVE BEEN STRANDED AND CANNOT RELY ON IT TO START. COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS DOES NOT COME UP WITH ANYTHING. REACHING OUT TO THE DODGE DART OWNERS COMMUNITY, THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM. SO FAR, NO ONE KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY ON COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS WHEN IT WON'T HELP.
