WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NORMAL SPEED THROUGH THE CITY, I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I IMMEDIATELY HEARD AN AIR RELEASE AND THE BRAKE BECAME VERY STIFF AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP THE CAR. NOW, I HAVE TO USE BRUTE FOOT FORCE TO STOP THE CAR. I WAS ONLY A FEW BLOCKS FROM AN EXPRESS OIL CHANGE & TIRE ENGINEER ON 5700 SANDERSON RD NW, HUNTSVILLE, AL. MY VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC DID NOT SEEM SURPRISED BY THE FINDING. THAT ALERTED ME THAT THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM FOR THE DODGE DART. AFTER READING OTHER BRAKE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE, I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE REPAIR WILL COST ME NEARLY $650 FOR A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE WITH LOW MILES.

RECALL NUMBER: 19V-293 AT THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 2018, I DROVE UP TO MY HOUSE IN THE DRIVEWAY, SHIFTED INTO PARK, LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND MY CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS! I TRIED SHIFTING INTO DRIVE AGAIN THEN TO TRY TO MOVE IT INTO PARK AGAIN BUT THE LIGHT ON THE DASH SHOWED STILL IN PARK, EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER WAS IN DRIVE. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING AWAY. THE NEXT DAY, I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (COURTESY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE IN TAMPA, FL) BUT THEY SAID IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED, I HAD TO PURCHASE THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE AND IT WOULD COST ME OVER $500 TO REPLACE IT. I WAS FURIOUS AS THIS IS WAY OUTSIDE OF MY BUDGET. I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE A TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BUSHING REPAIR KIT FOR $35 OFF OF AMAZON. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ABLE TO REPLACE THE BUSHING AND IT WORKS FINE (FOR NOW) BUT MY CONCERN IS WONDERING, WITH THIS RECALL, IF SOMETHING IS CAUSING THE BUSHING TO WEAR DOWN AND BREAK, CAUSING THESE ISSUES OR POTENTIALLY CAUSING A VEHICLE CRASH. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS RECALL THIS MONTH (JUNE 2019) AND APPARENTLY IT'S BEEN ONGOING SINCE, AT THE LATEST, 2016?? AND THE DEALERSHIP KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT? UNBELIEVABLE. IF THE STATUS IS "RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" AND IT'S BEEN 3 YEARS, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE ABLE TO ALLOW US TO TRADE THE CAR IN TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO CAUSE THIS MALFUNCTION WITH A POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE CRASH, WITHOUT US GETTING THE WORSE END OF THE DEAL.

WHILE DRIVING I TRIED TO DEPRESS MY BRAKES AND THEY WERE EXTREMELY HARD TO DEPRESS. I ALMOST SLAMMED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE A MESSAGE ON MY DASH TO SERVICE ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM. WHILE DOING SOME RESEARCH I NOTICE THIS IS A ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE DART. I NOTICED RECALLS ON PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS BUT NOT ON THE 2015 MODEL. GARAGE WANTS ALMOST $1000 TO REPAIR. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL GET RESOLVED WITH A RECALL SOON BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES.

WHEN I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES THEY WHERE VERY HARD AND NOT STOPPING ME, THERE WAS A AIR SOUND COMING FROM THEM AND THE PEDAL STARTED PUSHING BACK AT ME. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS FLUID LEAKING OR IF MY RIMS HAD BRAKE FLUID, OF COURSE THERE WAS NOTHING AND THE FLUID CONTAINER WAS ALMOST FULL.
