Transmission is failing recall part is unavailable. I was driving my car and it just stopped. It wouldn’t go forward. It wouldn’t go backwards and it said on my information screen to have my transmission serviced..

NHTSA ODI 11731781

I took the vehicle in for recall last year and it would not work within 5 months and I saw a transmission warning something about tcm or tsm. I called the dealership and the mfg and both would not pay for the tow and the car sat in my parking lot over the winter. About 4 weeks ago , I jumped the car battery and placed it into drive and within maybe 5 feet it stopped in the middle of the parking lot and i saw a warning that said something like no gear found or detected. I turned off the car and turned it back on and safely put it into reverse and quickly back into the parking spot otherwise it would have been stuck in the middle of the parking lot . I restarted the car and saw the same no gear found or detected warning message on my dash and when i put the car in drive the car would not move into any gear . The car is completely inoperable and EXTREMELY UNSAFE and this is due to the SECOND recall that has NO CURRENT FIX. When i contacted the mfg about the two recalls last year, they said that the second recall has no fix and nothing they could do. i can not afford a tow and owe payments. I am reporting an unresolved safety recall (NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V-674, Manufacturer Recall Number: A0C) for my [year/make/model]. The recall was issued on October 9, 2025, and remains listed as “remedy not yet available.” My vehicle is now inoperable due to the defect identified in this recall, resulting in a complete loss of use. Despite the severity of this safety issue, the manufacturer has not provided a repair, interim solution, transportation assistance, or a timeline for when a remedy will be available. This represents an unreasonable delay in addressing a known safety defect, and I am being forced to go without a functioning vehicle because of it. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this matter and require the manufacturer to provide an immediate remedy or appropriate consumer relief. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS SEVERE ISSUE . I AND MY FAMILY ARE NOT SAFE IN THIS CAR

My 2013 Dodge Dart is subject to a shifter cable safety recall. The vehicle has been at an authorized Dodge dealership in Texas since November awaiting recall repair. The dealership has confirmed the vehicle is unsafe to drive, but the repair has been delayed for several months. No reliable transportation assistance has been provided during this extended delay. This safety recall has left me without a usable vehicle for an unreasonable amount of time.

My car transmission is shot, I'm requesting a recall, my car was recalled for transmission problems immediately after on market. I don't know what was all fixed , but sure wasn't fixed. When in gear the car would sometimes loose power and then rev up and the car would jerk. I replaced everything possible, I had bought a warranty extension and was continusing getting one part after another fixed, I called to report a claim after just getting a recall for the shift cable recall repair done to have my car diagnosis done again, and my warranty was up, the car has so many new parts and I love my car, I can't drive it, needs transmission rebuilt, I kept telling the warranty insurance and they ignored it. Now I can't drive it, I'm not pleased at all, I had to continue to make payments on my car for a year and couldn't drive i The transmission should have been replaced, they are responsible for my transmission. Wouldn't go in gear, would shoot off and switch gears, rev up why driving, then would have to have towed, fixed everything but the transmission which I reported non-stop, they did nothing about it, then told me, there's nothing we can do your warranty expired today. So I am requesting a recall, the transmission was recalled right after Market I don't think they fixed it right to begin with, it's a shame to have a vehicle that just sits in the garage and collects dust. The manufacturer and warranty insurance are responsible for repairing my transmission so I can drive the car , I paid for!
