2013 Dodge Dart Other Problems

Your car's shifter cable broke, leaving you unable to shift into reverse, neutral, or drive. You were stranded and unable to move the car. If this had happened while you were driving, you wouldn't have been able to put the car in park, which could have caused it to roll into another vehicle or person. The dealership confirmed the cable was broken, and Dodge has not provided a remedy six months after a recall was issued.

Your car is jolting unexpectedly, which could cause it to shift direction suddenly while driving. Both your dealer and a mechanic have confirmed this problem exists after inspecting the transmission and powertrain. This unexpected jolting could potentially cause a loss of vehicle control. The fix will likely involve transmission service, fluid replacement, or internal transmission repairs.

While stopped at an intersection, you couldn't shift your car into gear and the transmission became stuck in neutral. A bushing on the tension rod deteriorated and broke apart, causing this problem. You were able to roll the car to a nearby gas station for safety. The repair will likely involve replacing the worn tension rod bushing and checking the transmission linkage.

Your car's shifter cable was replaced under a recall in February 2025, but the problem has returned. You may notice difficulty shifting gears or the shifter not responding properly again.

Shift gear assembly failure

The shifter cable for this car once again came undone. I did the first original recall a couple a years ago and once again the same issue is happening.

The service Transmisson lite came on and then it was flashing gear not available and put in N, R, D. but was stuck in N while i was driving on the interstate at 70MPH, I almost got ran over trying to get off the road. The TCM was already replaced. I had replaced the SDU and still does the same thing. This happens often. The car will sit for a while and then it will do it again. It will also rev up like up press the gas pedal down but not touching it, this will happen while setting or after I put it in drive. The Bluetooth isn't working, it will work if the battery is unplugged but then after a day or 2 it stops. I have replaced the spark plugs and ignition coils and it still losses power occasionally. The back up camera doesn't work sometimes also the air condition and the air will come on but shows that it's off. This car is a piece of garbage, and dealers will just keep selling it even though they know it has a lot of issues that they can't seem to fix. Most of the people in the forums all having the same issues that never get fixed! This car needs a total RECALL.

May 2020 - informed of a transmission shifter cable recall , addressed and fixed 05/14/2020 March 11th 2024 - transmission shifter cable failure.

THE CAR WILL NOT START. ALL THE LIGHTS AND ELECTRICAL COME ON WHEN KEY IS IN, BUT THE CAR DOESN'T EVEN TRY TO TURN OVER. I ALREADY HAD A SENSOR REPLACED THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT KEEPS OCCURRING. GIVES A WARNING THAT STATES AUTOSTICK IS UNAVAILABLE, SERVICE TRANSMISSION. IT ALSO KEEPS TELLING ME I HAVE A PARKING LIGHT OUT, WHICH I DON'T. THE CAR ALSO HAS A BRAND NEW BATTERY. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I AM TIRED OF WONDERING IF MY CAR WILL START WHEN I NEED TO GET MY CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL.

THE CLUTCH PEDDLE GOES TO FLOOR AND WON'T RETURN IT IS STATED BY MANY OTHERS THAT THE CLUTCH PEDDLE SLAVE CYLINDERS ARE DEFECTIVE IN THESE CARS WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT MADE THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE TRY TO GET IN TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP THEY SAIS IT WILL BE A WEEK BEFORE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT THEY KNOW THEIR IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION ABOUT OTHERS HAVING TIS SAME ISSUE.

MY CLUTCH STARTED TO STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND THEN IT GAVE OUT. IT WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT DECIDED TO GET STUCK TO THE FLOOR WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS.

ON 9/23/19 I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WAS HIT IN THE REAR AND WAS PUSH INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE FORCE OF IMPACT WAS SO EXTREME MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND I HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. NOT EVEN ONE AIR BAG DEPLOYED!!! THEY SAY THIS CAR HAS 10 AIR BAGS AND NOT ONE OF THEM DEPLOYED. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WASN'T. I WANT ANSWERS AS TO WHY NOT EVEN ONE OF MY 10 AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE ENTIRE REAR OF MY CAR WAS PUSHED INTO THE BACK SEAT, THE FRONT OF THE CAR THE HOOD WAS PUSHED TO THE WINDSHIELD, LIKE I SAID THE CAR IS TOTALED. IF YOU COULD SEE MY CAR YOU WOULD BE ASKING, WHY DID NOT ONE AIR BAG DEPLOY, THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT THAT COULD OF COST ME MY LIFE! *DT*JB

CAR NEEDS SHIFTER CABLE BUSHINGS ON THE TRANSMISSION, WITHOUT THE PROPER BUSHINGS, THE TRANSMISSION MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO BE SHIFTED, EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER MAY SHOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SHIFTED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THE NEW PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE NOR DID ANYONE KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING THOUGH I WAS PROMISED AN UPDATE. MEANWHILE I DRIVE THE CAR WITH GREAT FEAR, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT.

AIRBAG ' I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT A FEW DAYS AGO. WHEN I WAS HIT HEAD ON, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO PUT OUT THERE THAT MY CAR WAS ALSO TOTALED AND WHEN I WAS HIT I WAS GOING 45, AND THE OTHER DRIVER WAS GOING 60. WHICH IS QUITE A HEFTY IMPACT FOR A SMALL CAR BEING HIT BY A LIFTED 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA, AND FOR THE AIRBAGS NOT TO DEPLOY. I AM GOING TO BE SUING DODGE.

CAR PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. START CAR AND GO TO BACK UP. SHIFT TO REVERSE, GEAR DOESN'T CHANGE. CAR DOESN'T MOVE. STILL SAYS IT'S IN PARK. CAR WON'T SHIFT GEARS.

I ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON MY ENGINE. CAR WOULD NOT START. INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WORKED. BATTERY IN GOOD SHAPE AND CHARGING. CLICKING SOUND WHEN ATTEMPTS TO TURN ENGINE ON.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. WHEN TURNING ON MY CAR TO LEAVE WORK THE CAR WOULD NOT CATCH A GEAR IT WOULD JUST GO FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL, IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED. THIS HAS OCCURRED 03/28/19, 08/08/19,08/10/19,08/11/19

MY HUSBAND WAS PARKING MY CAR HE WENT TO PUT THE GEARSHIFT IN REVERSE AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE FROM DRIVE. THE CAR THEN WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEARS WE HAD THE CAR TOWED. IT STARTS AND EVERYTHING BUT IT CANNOT BE SHIFTED INTO GEAR I SAW A RECALL SAYING THAT YOU GUYS RECALLED THE GEAR THING FOR THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE DEALERSHIPS ARE SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART I NEED MY CAR FIXED ASAP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION YIELDING THE RIGHT OF WAY TO A PEDESTRIAN. THE VEHICLE BEHIND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACTS VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELTS FOR THE DRIVER, FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR PASSENGER FAILED TO REMAIN LATCHED DURING THE CRASH. IN ADDITION, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ENTIRE REAR SEAT ROW DETACHED CAUSING HER CHILD SEATED IN THE REAR TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT DURING THE CRASH. THE CONTACT AND HER 2 CHILDREN SUSTAINED WHIPLASH INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A COLLISION CENTER WHERE THE BUMPER WAS REPLACED BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO FOLLOW UP WITH HER INSURANCE COMPANY TO CONTACT THEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,155.

WAS DRIVING MY 2013 DODGE DART, WHEN I WENT TO PARK THE SHIFTER WOULD MOVE BUT IT WAS NOT ACTUALLY CHANGING GEARS. I HAD TO TURN ON EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TURN ENGINE OFF I AM NOW UNABLE TO TAKE KEY OUT AND I HAD TO LET THE BATTERY DIE, THE VEHICLE IS NOW DISABLED IN FRONT OF A FRIENDS HOUSE AND I AM UNABLE TO MOVE IT.

I HAVE BEEN FINANCING THIS CAR SINCE 2013,AND SO FAR IT'S BEEN ON THE RECALL LIST TWICE, HOWEVER THIS TIME IT'S BEEN LABELED DAMAGED GOODS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANIES AND GEICO RECENTLY TERMINATED MY POLICY AS A RESULT OF THIS, AND NO OTHER INSURANCE COMPANY IS WILLING TO TAKE A RISK AND INSURE THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, SO I'M STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE,THE FCA SENT ME ANOTHER LETTER TELLING ME THAT THERE'S ANOTHER DEFECTIVE ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND AS SOON AS THE PART COMES INTO STOCK THEY'LL LET ME KNOW SO I CAN TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THE ISSUE ADDRESSED,BUT BECAUSE MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS TERMINATED MY POLICY I CAN'T EVEN DRIVER THE CAR THERE,AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE ANYMORE BECAUSE IT HAS TOO MANY DEFECTS AND KEEP WINDING UP ON THE RECALL LIST, IT POSSIBLY FALLS UNDER THE LEMON LAWS AND I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO HAVE TO CONTINUE MAKING PAYMENTS ON A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE,SO I'M LOOKING FOR A LOGICAL RESOLUTION OUT OF CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY SAFETY,LIKE BEING ABLE TO TRADE IT IN FOR A SAFER CAR

MY SHIFT GEAR IS NOT MOVING AT ALL AND IT CAUSES ME NOT TO TURN MY CAR OFF OR ON. MY KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION ALSO.

BRAKE BOOSTER FALIURE AT 117K MILES. WHEN I PRESS ON BREAK PEDAL, JUST A LOT OF AIR COMING FROM BRAKE PEDAL.

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN PARK, THE DASH SAYS IT'S NOT AND WON'T TURN OFF

DODGE DART 2013 -APRIL 2019 RECALL DODGE DART WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK AND PAST NEUTRAL, AND THEN IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL AND KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK AT A BUSINESS ON 06/30/2019 CAR WAS TOWED AND LEFT AT A FIRESTONE FOR REPAIRS WITH KEY STILL IN IGNITION AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS REMAINING ON IN THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT DUE TO THE NEUTRAL GEAR.

V34/NHTSA 19V-293 THIS RECALL HAS BEEN UP FOR A WHILE AND I'VE CALLED SEVERAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS TO GET THIS REPAIRED, THE ONLY ANSWER THEY GIVE ME IS TO GO ON MOPAR RECALLS AND TYPE IN MY EMAIL TO GET NOTIFICATION WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED A LETTER ON MAY 24, 2019 STATING THAT THERE IS A RECALL BUT THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY AND BY MAY 31 THEY WILL CONTACT/MAIL US WITH A FOLLOW UP RECALL. IT IS JUNE 11,2019 AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF A REMEDY OR A SOLUTION. I DRIVE FROM RIVERSIDE TO LOS ANGELES EVERYDAY AND WITH THIS RECALL I'M PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGER AND ALSO OTHERS LIVES IN DANGER.

'TEKATA RECALL' I WENT TO THE DODGE DEALER SHOP AND THEY STATED I HAVE A RECALL, AND THERE IS NO RESOLUTION AS OF RIGHT NOW AND THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIX RIGHT NOW. I HAVE EMAILS TO PROVE. I READ INTO THIS AND IT STATES COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I HAVE A BABY ON THE WAY AND FEEL SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP! MAY 24 IS WHEN I FOUND I HAD A RECALL

V34/NHTSA 19V-293 TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BUSHING RECALL

I REVERSED VEHICLE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY INTO THE STREET AND AS I WAS SHIFTING INTO 'DRIVE' THE VEHICLE WENT INTO NEUTRAL. SHIFTER MOVES AS NORMAL, VEHICLE REMAINS IN NEUTRAL. WITH THIS I AM UNABLE TO TURN VEHICLE OFF SINCE IT WILL NOT GO INTO 'PARK.' DEALERSHIPS VERY UNHELPFUL SAYING THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND THERE WILL BE A CHARGE FOR THEM TO EVEN LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. NEVER DOING BUSINESS WITH CHRYSLER EVER AGAIN. MY 2 YEAR OLD WAS ALSO IN THE VEHICLE, HAD TO PUT THE HAND BRAKES UP TO STOP CAR FROM MOVING.

MANUAL CAR STICK SHIFT CABLE CAME APART WAS NOT ABLE TO REVERSE

MY CLUTCH HAS FALLEN TO THE FLOOR. CANNOT SHIFT. CANNOT CHECK FLUID LEVELS BECAUSE THERE IS NO ACCESS. APPARENTLY THERE IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THIS ISSUE BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED, THEREFORE I AM UNABLE TO GET ANY HELP FIXING THIS. FIRST START UP IN THE MORNING. CLUTCH WAS FINE THE NIGHT BEFORE. CLUTCH IS LAYING AGAINST THE FLOOR, BASICALLY USELESS.

VEHICLE WILL ACT LIKE IT SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE CAR IS ALSO REVVING UP TO 3RPM ON ITS OWN WITH NO GAS PETAL BEING TOOTHED. THE STEERING COLUMN IS CLICKING AND MAKING A SCRUBBING SOUND. MECHANICS CAN NOT IDENTIFY A PROBLEM

TURBO/SUPER CHARGER UNDERBOOST

MY DAUGHTER JUST PURCHASED A 2013 DODGE DART 4 MONTHS AGO AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS ALREADY BEEN FAILING. I KNOW SEVERAL OTHER 2013 DODGE DARTS HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS AND UNFORTUNATELY MY DAUGHTERS CAR HAS NOT BUT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THEY WONT PAY FOR IT WITHOUT THE RECALL ON THAT VIN # . I THINK IF THERE IS A DEFECT ON THESE 2013 DARTS THEY ALL SHOULD BE RECALLED

VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE APPROVED FOR RECALL CONCERNING (MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH) WHICH IS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROLLER AS ITS COMMUNICATING CABLES ARE TOO FRAGILE TO WORK UNDER REGULAR TURNING SIGNAL USAGE AS CABLE WITHIN COMPONENT GETS PULLED BY IT'S OWN REGULAR MOTION AT USAGE. THIS CAUSES THE CABLES WITHIN THE SWITCH TO GET CUT AND BROKEN MAKING IT TO BREAK COMPLETELY. BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT BEING PRODUCED BY MOPAR THE PART IS NOT FOUND AS DODGE DEALERS MAKE YOU WAIT IN LINE NEXT TO 400 OTHER DODGE DRIVER OWNERS IN ORDER TO GET THE PART (WHEN THEY START PRODUCING THE PART) WHICH THERE HAS BEEN NO CONFIRMATION OF BEING PRODUCED BY MOPAR.

VEHICLE "BUCKING" BETWEEN 1500 AND 2000 RPM. PROBLEM MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING. SEEMS TO BE EITHER CLOGGED FUEL FILTERS, FUEL PUMP, SPARK PLUGS, OR IGNITION COILS WITH THE LAST TWO BEING THE PRIMARY. CONTINUOUS ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR. TOOK TO DODGE. SAID IT WAS FIXED, BUT PROBLEM CONTINUED. THEY WOULD NO LONGER LOOK INTO ISSUE BECAUSE VEHICLE HIT 100,000 MILES.

CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING , WARNINGS SIGNS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SAID BLIND SPOT UNAVAILABLE , AUTO STICK UNAVAILABLE , GEAR NOT AVAILABLE THEN FOLLOW BY A SERVICE TRANSMISSION. COULDN'T GET THE CAR STARTED BACK WHEN I HAD TO WAIT 10 MINS , FINALLY GOT IT START BACK UP AS A RESULT HARD SIFTING OCCURRED.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT CUT OFF RAINING OR NO RAIN. WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE THEY JUST RUN.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A WEEK AND A HALF AGO AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL INTERMITTENTLY FEELS STRANGE LIKE IT'S STICKING IN SOME WAY. BEEN DRIVING MANUAL CARS MY ENTIRE DRIVING CAREER (20 YEARS). I HAVE NEVER FELT MY CLUTCH PEDAL DO THIS ON ANY CAR BEFORE! UPON LOOKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE! I LOVE THE CAR WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL FEELS SMOOTH AND NORMAL, HOWEVER IT IS VERY ALARMING WHEN IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING! SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, I TRULY HOPE CHRYSLER WILL ISSUE A RECALL AS IT SEEMS LIKE MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD EXPENSIVE ISSUES WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER AT AS LITTLE AS 22,000 MILES...IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHILE STARTING THE CAR...MOSTLY HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING HOWEVER.

VACUUM PUMP LEAKING OIL AND A BURNING SMELL COMES THROUGH THE VENTS WHEN BRAKES ARE PUSHED, ALSO CAUSED THE O2 SENSOR TO GO BAD AND A/C TO NOT WORK LIKE IT SHOULD. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND YOU PUSH THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP.

PULL INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT WOULD NOT GO INTO PARKING AND HAD TO PUT EMERGENCY BRAKE ON TRYING TO TAKE THE KEY OUT WOULDN'T LET ME IT TURN OUT TO BE THE AUTO TRANS SHIFTER LINKAGE BROKE OFF

HAD ISSUE WITH 2013 DODGE DART CRANKING . IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD CRANK UP.

CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING - BATTERY LIGHT FLASHES AND I AM UNABLE TO ACCEL. NO POWER WHAT-SO-EVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED (3) TIMES ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT SPEED 60MPH AND TWICE WHILE STOPPING ON RED LIGHT

THE CLUTCH SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE IN MY DODGE DART. IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAS CAUSED INCIDENTS WHERE I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN THIRD OR FOURTH GEAR AND IT WILL JUST SLIP INTO NEAUTRAL AND LOCK UP. I WAS GOING UP A HILL RECENTLY WHEN IT DID THIS CAUSING ME TO FLY BACKWARDS DOWN A HUGE HILL WITH NO BRAKES STEERING OR ANYTHING. IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING JUST DROPPED. IT IS BECOMING A HUGE ISSUE AS I HAVE THREE CHILDREN AND AM SCARED THIS WILL HAPPEN WITH THEM IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING IN OTHER DODGE DARTS YEARS 2013-2018. THE TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS ARE FAULTY. I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED AND IT IS COSTLY JUST FOR IT TO FAIL AGAIN AND AGAIN. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH SYSTEMS IN THESE AND COME UP WITH A BETTER DESIGN THAT IS NOT A DANGER TO PEOPLE'S LIVES.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK@ 0730 HRS, TRAVELING ON I 294 N/B, AT A SPEED OF APPROX 45/50 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. AS I ATTEMPTED TO REDUCE MY SPEED, TO MOVE OUT OF THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. I PULLED THE HAND BREAK UP, WHICH DID NOT RESPOND, I PUSHED IT DOWN AND PULLED IT UP A SECOND TIME, WHICH BARELY SLOWED MY VEHICLE, BUT DID ALLOW ME TO COAST TO A SLOW STOP ON THE SHOULDER. AT THIS TIME, THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND A MAN WHO HAD BEEN TRAVELING BEHIND ME, PULLED OVER TO SAY THAT HE HAD SEEN FLAMES COMING FROM MY TAIL PIPE, BEFORE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BURST INTO FLAME. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911. I WAITED IN THE RAIN FOR ILLINOIS STATE POLICE AND THE FIRE DEPT TO RESPOND. STATE POLICE REPORT#IL 0229900 WAS MADE UPON THE TROOPERS ARRIVAL.

SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE ON DASH AFTER ABOUT 50 MILES OF DRIVING NORMAL. WON'T SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR UNTIL 4200 RPM DROPS TO 1000 RPM THEN SHIFTS INTO THIRD GEAR EARLY AT 2400 RPM WHEN TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND TRY TO TURN BACK ON IT SAYS AUTOSTICK NOT AVAILABLE. CLEAR ALL CODES WORKS FINE. IT'S BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES WITH NO DIAGNOSIS. THEY HAVE DONE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE RECALL TWICE. EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED THERE HAS BEEN ABOUT A MONTH IN BETWEEN. TENDS TO HAPPEN AFTER ABOUT DRIVING 50 MILES NORMALLY.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT CAUSING ME TO SHIFT THE GEAR INTO PARK BEFORE STARTING THE VEHICLE BACK UP. BUT AS I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE IT HESITATED TO START AND I HAD TO WAIT A MOMENT MAYBE THREE TO SEVEN MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN ONLY TO HAVE IT STALL OUT AGAIN WHILE MAKING ANOTHER RIGHT HAND TURN. I ALSO NOTICED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHING ON THE DASH AS WELL AS A BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARING.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY CAR ARE STUCK IN THE ON POSITION CAUSING THEM TO RUN CONSTANTLY, EVEN THOUGH THE LEVER IS SET TO THE OFF POSITION. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AFTER I USED THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE BECAME STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND WON'T TURN OFF

I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEYES WAY AND PLACED THE CAR ON PARK. TO MY SURPRISE, THE CAR KEPT MOVING AND STAYED ON DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO REMOVE THE KEY, SO IN ORDER TO SAVE THE BATTERY, I HAD TO UNPLUG IT. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRY TO CHANGE THE GEAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK, IT STAYS ON DRIVE.

PASSENGER SUN VISOR BREAKS LOOSE FROM HEADLINER AFTER PROLONGED VIBRATION FROM ROAD

THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO SHIFT INTO CERTAIN GEARS AFTER STARTING THE CAR. THIS CAN OCCUR FOR A WHILE AFTER THE INITIAL IGNITION, OFTEN NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO MOVE THROUGH INTERSECTIONS SAFELY. I SOMETIMES CANNOT SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR AFTER STOPPING AT A STOPLIGHT, AND SOMETIMES CANNOT SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR, IF I AM ABLE TO GET IT INTO 1ST GEAR. OCCASIONALLY, IF I LEAVE THE TRANSMISSION IN 1ST GEAR OR REVERSE WHEN PARKED, AND I START THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED, THE TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED, AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO MOVE ON IGNITION. APPLYING THE BRAKES MAKES STALLS THE VEHICLE. I OCCASIONALLY HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES, AND/OR CLUTCH PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE TRANSMISSION TO CHANGE GEARS PROPERLY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL POSTS ON FORUMS INDICATING THAT IT IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE MASTER AND/OR SLAVE CYLINDER. DODGE HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE BY EXTENDING THE LENGTH OF THE WARRANTY ON THIS PART, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. IT'S VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO MOVE OUT OF AN INTERSECTION, AND THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND YOU CANNOT GET THE CAR INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND SEEMS TO BE INCREASING IN OCCURRENCE.

MY DODGE DART IT KEEP CLICKING WHILE PARKED IN ENGINE OFF!

MY 2013 1.4L TURBO DART WAS IN SERVICE WITHIN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. WAS INFORMED THAT MY SLAVE CYLINDER, MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS UNDER RECALL. ENDED UP IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE MY ABS FAILED AND MY CAR SLID. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER. WAS TOLD BY DODGE PARTS WERE ON ORDER, I CALL AND THEY HAVE NO RECORD AND THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. WHEN IT WAS INSPECTED WAS INFORMED THE THREE ABOVE PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY SAID IT WAS ALL RECALL PARTS. OF COURSE NO FORMS OR DOCUMENTATION WAS GIVEN AT THE APPOINTMENT.

EACH DEALERSHIP THAT I CONTACT TO TRY AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX THE RECALL PROBLEM THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART FOR IT AND I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD ORDER THE PART AND CALL ME WHEN IT COMES IN. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ALMOST A YEAR.

MY CAR KEEPS SAYING SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR 3 YEARS WITH NO FIX. THE RECALL IS A R42 MY CAR CAN SHIFT INTO NATURAL AT ANY TIME WHILE I AM DRIVING HOW SAFE IS THAT TO DRIVE ALSO TCM CONTROLLER BOARD WAS REPLACED AND SINCE THAT MY TURBO WENT OUT MY CARS TEMPERATURE ON THE COOLANT GOES UP TO 215 DEGREES. WHEN STARTING MY CAR AND WHEN I DRIVING IN TRAFFIC IS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GOES UP

OWNER OF A 2013 DODGE DART RALLY , 1.4L MULTI-AIR TURBO ENGINE. FIRST CASE WAS THE DANGEROUS HESITATION WITH THE TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE TRANSMISSION WERE GONE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. *BF *CN

I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT IT TOOK FOR MY VEHICLE. IT STATED CLEARLY IN THE RECALL LETTER I RECEIVED THAT THE SERVICE WOULD TAKE 1 HOUR. MAYBE A LITTLE LONGER. WHEN I MADE THE APPT. I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE IN STOCK. I DROPPED OFF MY CAR THE NEXT MORNING, AND WAS TOLD 3 HOURS IF I WANTED TO WAIT. I CALLED THEM 2 DAYS LATER AND WAS TOLD PARTS NEEDED TO BE ORDERED, AND IT WOULD BE 2 WEEKS UNTIL THEY (THE DEALERSHIP) COULD GET THEM. AFTER THE 2 WEEKS, WITH NO UPDATE FROM THEM, I GOT A CALL SAYING THE PARTS DIDNT TAKE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THEM AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME. ALL IN ALL MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR A MONTH FOR A 1 HOUR TREATMENT. ON TOP OF THAT MY VEHICLE, WHICH I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IN, WAS RETURNED TO ME FILTHY AND WITH A BROKEN SEAT. AFTER OVER 30 DAYS IN A DEALERSHIP AND IT COULDNT EVEN BE DETAILED OR CLEANED?? MAYBE AN OIL CHANGE? I HAVE COMPLAINED TO DODGE AND THEY ARE SWEEPING IT UNDER THE RUG JUST AS THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE.

AFTER LENGTHY OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS ON CAR BY THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD IT BURNS 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES AND I WOULD HAVE TO ADD OIL AT THAT RATE. ALSO TOLD THIS WAS "ACCEPTABLE" BY CHRYSLER. NO LOW OIL LIGHT COMES ON, EVEN WHEN THE ENGINE TOTALLY FAILED AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. CURRENTLY HAVE 25000 MILES AFTER 2.5 YEARS OWNED.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED, BUT BY THEY TIME I GET AN APPOINTMENT, THE LIGHT HAS GONE OFF. THIS IS QUITE ANNOYING BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE MY CAR IS RUNNING WELL WITHOUT DEFECT.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START MY DART, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WILL HAVE NO TENSION IN IT. THE PEDAL WILL GO STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH NO EFFORT AND WILL STICK DOWN. I HAVE TO USE MY FOOT TO PULL IT BACK UP. THE CAR WILL ALSO NOT GO INTO GEAR WHEN THIS OCCURS. YOU HAVE TO EITHER TURN THE CAR OFF OR LET IT STALL, THEN PUMP THE CLUTCH 10-20 TIMES IN ORDER TO GET THE TENSION NEEDED. SOMETIMES THIS DOESN'T HELP AT ALL AND YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE! FCA KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE, THEY'VE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 60,000, BUT MY CAR HAVING 83,XXX MILES THEY DON'T CARE. FIRST EXTENDED SERVICE CORPORATION WHO I PURCHASED AN "EXTENDED SERVICE AGREEMENT" THROUGH DOESN'T CARE EITHER. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR AND THE REPRESENTATIVE FLAT OUT TOLD ME "NO" AND HUNG UP. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. WE'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND OTHERS AROUND AND THEY SAID IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, HOW IS IT NOT A RECALL?!?

MY DODGE DART LIMITED 2013 TURBO 1.4 CYLINDER HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS WHEN WE BOUGHT IT IN MAY/2013, COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THE SQUEAKING NOISE, AND DRIVER'S SIDE ELECTRIC WINDOWS NOT WORKING, AFTER ONE YEAR THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP FOR 15 DAYS FOR ENGINE OIL LEAK, AND NOW IS AGAIN IN THE SHOP FOR 5 MONTHS AND NO SOLUTION FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE TECHNICIAN SAID IS WORKING BUT THEY NOT SURE IF IT IS A COMPUTER SOFTWARE OR TRANSMISSION DEFECT. I WANT TO KNOW IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME AND OR PROVIDE ME WITH INFORMATION . THIS CAR DOES NOT REACH ANY STAR. THANKS..

EL VEHCULO EN MARCHA, SE SIENTE RUIDO Y HALONEO, QUE SE SIENTE COMO SI SE FUERA A APAGAR. EL RADIO SE PUSO NEGRO Y DEJ DE FUNCIONAR. LUEGO EN VARIAS OCASIONES, EL CARRO NO PRENDE. ADEMS EL VEHCULO EN MARCHA, PRENDE EL CHECK ENGINE Y UN MENSAJE "SERVICIO DE TRASMISION". EN EL DEALER SUPUESTAMENTE LE CAMBIARON LA TCM DE LA TRASMISION, PERO LUEGO, EL VEHICULO VUELVE A PRESENTAR EL MISMO PROBLEMA, "CHECK ENGINE", SERVICIO DE TRASMISION". EN EL DEALER ALEGAN QUE SOLUCIONAN EL PROBLEMA, PERO EL MISMO YA SE HA PRESENTADO EN 3 O 4 OCASIONES. TENGO UN AUTO "LIMON".

DESDE QUE COMPRE EL AUTO COMPLETAMENTE NUEVO, COMENC A RECIBIR RECALLS. MS ADELANTE Y POR DOS OCASIONES EL CARRO NO PRENDIA. LO LLEVE EN MLTIPLES OCASIONES AL DEALER Y SEGN ESTOS, EL AUTO NO REFLEJABA NADA, TODO SALA BIEN. EN LA PRIMERA OCASIN AL PRENDER EL AUTO, HIZO UN RUIDO ESPANTOSO Y LUEGO, LO APAGU. AL TRATAR DE PRENDERLO, NO RESPONDIO. LLAME A SERVICIO EN LA CARRETERA Y ENVIARON UNAS PERSONAS PARA QUE LE DIERAN CARGA A LA BATERIA. LA 2DA VEZ, CARGA A LA BATERIA. ES MI OPININ, ESE NO ERA EL PROBLEMA. HOY HACE 3 SEMANAS EL AUTO ESTA EN EL TALLER DEL DEALER, PORQUE SUPUESTAMENTE TIENE LA COMPUTADORA QUE CONTROLA LA TRASMISIN DAADA. PARA MI EL AUTO NO SIRVE. QUISIERA UNA INVESTIGACIN. NO DESEO SEGUIR PAGANDO POR UN VEHCULO QUE NO ME DA NINGUNA SEGURIDAD. GRACIAS! ...UPDATED 08-06/15 *BF UPDATED 10/26/2017*CN

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY DODGE DART. IT STARTED BACK IN NOVEMBER 2014 WHEN THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND IT SAID SERVICE TRANSMISSION, I HAD IT TOWED AND THEY DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS AN UPDATE ISSUE. THE SECOND TIME THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ONE I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THAT THE UPDATE DIDN'T TAKE, HOURS LATER TOLD ME IT WAS ALL SET TO GO, WENT TO PICK IT UP AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START, DEALER KEPT IT OVER NIGHT, CALLED NEXT DAY AND TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T RECREATE ISSUE AND I NEEDED TO PICK THE CAR UP UNFIXED! COUPLE DAYS LATER THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME BACK, TOOK CAR BACK IN THEY REPLACED THE TCM. THEY CAR STILL SHIFTS HORRILE, THE CAR STARTS SHIFTING GEARS WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, AND MOST RECENTLY THE CAR HAS STARTED NOT KNOWING WHAT GEAR ITS IN AND JUST SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL, WHICH IS PRETTY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING!!!! DEALER CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT....OVER ALL I HATE DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL AND I FEEL LIKE I HAVE NO PLACE TO TURN WITH THE DEALER I AM WORKING WITH AS THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM.
