What 510 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Dodge Dart

TPMS SYSTEM FAILURE (MULTIPLE TIMES) I HAVE HAD MY TPMS SYSTEM REPAIRED THREE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE AND IT NEVER FAILS THAT IT STOPS WORKING AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER GETTING IT FIXED. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT COULD BE FOR SOME PEOPLE THAT DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR TIRES. THE RIGHT CV AXLE HAS ALSO GONE OUT OF MY CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES. THIS ITEM WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY BUT OTHER FRIENDS THAT OWN DARTS HAVE MENTIONED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT CREATED A BAD POPPING NOISE AND MADE GOING OVER BUMPS SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE. TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE -- THIS IS ACTIVE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BUT FIGURED I WOULD INCLUDE THE INFORMATION.

I WAS NOTIFIED ON 04/18/2019 OF THE MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL ISSUED NHTSA #19V-293 #V34 2013-2016 DODGE DART PF SHIFT CABLE BUSHING. IT IS NOW 08/18/2019 4 MONTHS LATER AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. WHILE I HAVE NOT HAD A MISHAP AND THE PART HAS NOT FAILED YET I FEAR IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. MY SON IS NOW AT COLLEGE ON HIS OWN WITH THE 2015 DODGE DART AND I HAVE TO REMIND HIM TO TRY AND BE GENTLE WITH THE SHIFTER AND MAKE SURE THAT HE SETS THE PARKING BRAKE IN CASE THE BUSHING FAILS AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T GO INTO PARK. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM FIAT/CHRYSLER SINCE THE INITIAL RECALL NOTIFICATION. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THEY OWE US ANSWERS OF WHEN OUR VEHICLES WILL BE FIXED OR THEY SHOULD START A VEHICLE BUYBACK PROGRAM IF THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL - MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. ALONG WITH THE SWIGGLY ROAD LIGHT. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS WHY THEY ARE ON. THE OTHER ISSUE BEING THE SHIFTER CABLE OF THE CAR, I HAVE USED MY SHIFTER AND THE CAR DOES NOT ACTUALLY SHIFT IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. MY BREAKS, HOWEVER, DID WORK SO I USED THEM. I BELIEVE THIS WAS UNSAFE BECAUSE ON THE HIGHWAY PEOPLE DRIVE VERY FAST. IF I WAS TRYING A MANUAL DODGE DART I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I STOPPED USING THE MANUAL SHIFTER WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK OR REVERSE HOWEVER IT SHIFTS VERY ABRUPTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR A WHILE NOW BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE MY FOOT WASN'T ON THE BRAKE HARD ENOUGH BUT IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN.

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.
