I DON'T KNOW WHEN I WILL GET MY CAR BUT IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ENOUGH TIMES I FILED FOR A BREECH OF WARRANTY BUT CHRYSLER ONLY OFFERED ME 4000 TAKE AWAY THE 2000 FOR ATTORNEY FEES SO 2000 IS WHAT I WOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY WITH. I DID NOT ACCEPT THE OFFER AND NOW I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE A REMEDY FOR THE ISSUE BUT IT'S HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE DAY 1 HAD NEW ENGINE NEW TURBO NEW STARTER NEW GASKETS NEW RADIATOR AND MUCH MORE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN BECAUSE OF NEGLECT. I TRULY FEEL I HAVE A LEMON ON MY HANDS AND NEED HELP GETTING INTO A SAFE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT TOLD ME TO GET A LAWYER SO I DID BUT UNLESS WE AGREED ON AN AMOUNT THEY WOULDN'T PROCEED. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I'M TRYING TO GET A LAWYER THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS OR HELP ME GET A SAFER CAR FOR ME AND MY KIDS.*DT CONSUMER STATED PCM/TCM HAS BEEN A RECALL IN THE PAST ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON IS CODE P2096 WHICH CAUSED LEAK IN ONE OF THE HOSES.*JB *JS

MY CAR RANDOMLY WILL NOT START THINKING THAT IT IS NOT IN PARK. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE DIAGNOSTIC ELECTRONICS TO GO HAYWIRE. I'M TOLD THERE IS A BUSHING THAT WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT DODGE REFUSES TO PROVIDE THIS PART TO MY LOCAL DEALER. THE BUSHING IS DESIGNED TO CAUSE THE CAR TO KNOW IT IS IN PARK SO IT WILL START. I'M ALSO TOLD THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE, BUT I RECEIVED NO RECALL NOTICE FROM DODGE.

THERE'S AN ACTIVE RECALL ON MY 2013 DODGE DART AERO FOR THE SHIFTING CABLE BUSHING. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, MY CAR WASN'T REGISTERING IT WAS IN PARK SO I COULDN'T TURN IT OFF. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP ON MAIN STREET IN NORRISTOWN, PA. MOPAR SAID THE PART WON'T BE SHIPPED TO DEALERS FOR THE RECALL UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST SO THEY WANT TO PUT ANOTHER FAULTY PART IN. THEY ARE TELLING ME I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AND MOPAR SAYS THEY ARE NOT DOING AT REPAYMENTS. THEY HAVE ALSO REFUSED TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR IN THE MEAN TIME. I DON'T FEEL AS A CONSUMER THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OR A RENTAL BECAUSE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I WAS VERY LUCKY NO ONE ELSE WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN MINE FAILED, AND THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY WITHOUT HARMING MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BY THE DRIVER AND ANOTHER PERSON. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO ATHENS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 4145 ATLANTA HWY, ATHENS, GA 30606, (706) 549-7555) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER HAD TO PLACE A ROCK UNDER THE WHEEL TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER SEIZED WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECALL IF A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AKINS FORD (LOCATED AT 220 W MAY ST, WINDER, GA 30680, (770) 867-9136) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF WHAT WAS DIAGNOSED OR REPLACED, BUT BELIEVED IT PERTAINED TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR THE GEAR SHIFTER AND NOT THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

AIR BAG LIGHTS IS ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAR RUNNING HOT FAM TURNING IN WRONG DIRECTIONS I KEEP PUTTING BRAKE FLUID IN ONCE A WEEK HEAT COME ON M OFF WHEN IT FEEL LIKE IT TIRE LITE I KEEP SPENDING MONEY FOR TIRES HEAD REST IS NOT NORMAL IT PUSHES MY NECK OUT WHEN I'M DRIVING NOW MY NECK N BACK HURTS

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.

DODGE DARTS OF THIS MODEL YEAR INCLUDING MINE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TURBOCHARGER. PROBLEMS WITHIN THE SETUP CREATE A "TURBO UNDERBOOST" CONDITION, WHICH PROMPTS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND THROWS THE CAR INTO LIMP MODE. THIS IS OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY A LACK OF POWER FROM THE ENGINE AND A ROUGH IDLE, OR STALLING AT IDLE. IN MY CASE IT HAPPENED WHILE I LEAVING A CITY, AND I DID NOT HAVE THE POWER TO ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER PULLING OVER AND RE-STARTING THE CAR, THIS ISSUE IS TEMPORARILY RESOLVED. THIS IS SUCH AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR THAT THERE IS A NORTH AMERICA WIDE BACK-ORDER ON THE NEW-TURBO WITH THIS ISSUE CORRECTED. FOR MANY LIKE ME, THIS EXPENSE IS OUT-POCKET OR FOR A LUCKY FEW, STILL COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE WARRANTS A RECALL AND PROPER FIX IF THE TURBOCHARGER SETUP. THE ISSUE IS CORRECTED ON 2014+ MODEL YEARS, WHICH IS AN INDICATION THAT FCA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

RECALL ON A TRANSMISSION RELATED SAFETY ISSUE , THIS A A BAD PROBLEM BUT STILL DODGE DON;T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM , HOW COULD THAT BE ?? I AM STILL WAITING TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED BUT IN THE MEANTIME I AM STILL DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE .

THERE IS HEAT THAT CONSISTENTLY EMANATES INTO THE CAR FROM THE AREA WHERE THE WIRING HARNESS OR FUSE BOX WOULD BE. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND MECHANICS CONTINUE TO SAY THAT THE FUSE BOX IS FINE BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE HARNESS. THE PROBLEMS IS SO BAD THAT THE HEAT OVER TIME HAS LED TO BAD PAINT DAMAGE TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE PAINT IS COMPLETELY DULL. THE DISCOLORATION IS BEYOND OBVIOUS AND NOTICEABLE. THE HEAT BEGINS TO BE A PROBLEM ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING IT ON.

THE PARKING BRAKE HAS FAILED ON TWO OCCASIONS, ONCE WHILE STATIONARY WHEN IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT CRASHED INTO A CAR IN THEIR PARKING LOT IN 2016. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP IN 2015-2016 THIRTEEN TIMES FOR OIL LEAKS AND THE ENGINE EITHER DYING OR ALMOST SEIZING WHILE IN MOTION. THIS RESULTED IN MY VEHICLE STARTING ON FIRE IN LATE 2016 EARLY 2017. THE REPAIR FOR THE FIRE DAMAGE WAS COVERED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY FIXED BY A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AFTER THAT. MORE RECENTLY, IT WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ROLLED INTO MY TRUCK AND DAMAGED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE'S BUMPER WHILE STATIONARY WITH THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. THE SYMPTOMS WITH THE ENGINE HAVE ALSO STARTED TO REAPPEAR WHILE IN MOTION IN 3RD OR 4TH GEAR... IT STARTS TO ACT LIKE IT'S GOING TO COMPLETELY DIE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAVE IT BACK IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS. SOME OF THE RECALLS LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE SOUND LIKE THINGS I HAVE EXPERIENCED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO. MY TIME IS THE MAIN THING I CARE ABOUT AT THIS POINT AND DON'T WANT TO SPEND ANOTHER 2 YEARS ENDLESSLY IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP. I JUST WANT A CAR THAT OPERATES NORMALLY.

THE CLUTCH GETS STUCK ON THE FLOOR AND I'M UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I'VE BEEN STUCK IN MY DRIVE WAY BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THE GEAR INTO THE REVERSE POSITION. SAME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC WHERE I'M STUCK BECAUSE I CAN GET THE GEAR INTO FIRST TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD. ONCE I DO GET THE GEAR TO GO THE CAR SHOOTS FORWARD DANGEROUSLY.

BEFORE STARTING VEHICLE, CLUTCH PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO FLOOR AND HAS TO BE PULLED BACK UP INTO POSITION. PROBLEM OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. AFTER CLUTCH IS PUMPED A FEW TIMES, IT REGAINS PRESSURE AND IS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 35,000 MILES BUT IS OVER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY. EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL COVER IT WITH A $100 DEDUCTIBLE. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PAY FOR A CLUTCH REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY/ KNOWN ISSUE ON THE MASTER CYLINDER AND HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKING THROUGHOUT CLUTCH COMPONENTS. ALSO HAD THE TURBO AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED AT 20,000 MILES AFTER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND VEHICLE LOST POWER.

THE 2013 DODGE DART WITH THE 1.4L TURBO ENGINE WAS A VEHICLE MADE THAT WAS MADE IN MURPHY'S LAW (EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG, WILL GO WRONG). SINCE PURCHASING THIS USED VEHICLE IN 2016 WITH 43,000 MILES ON THE ENGINE I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WAS THE TURBO. I HAD TO HAVE THE TURBO REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY (COMMON ISSUE). THEN, MULTIPLE INSTRUMENT GAUGE FAILURES. NEXT, SEVERAL CLUTCH PROBLEMS (CLUTCH STICKING TO THE FLOOR EVEN WHEN DRIVING). THIS ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED AS THE DEALER DOES NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ISSUE. IF RESEARCHED IT WILL SHOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THOUSANDS HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THEN, NEXT SET OF ISSUES BEGAN WITH MULTIPLE CALIPER SEIZINGS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC OTHER THAN THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DETERMINED THAT THESE PARTS WERE FAULTY AND SUFFERED FROM A RECALL THAT EFFECTED SEVERAL CARS. WHEN CALLING CUSTOMER CARE FOR DODGE. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT INVOLVED WITH THAT SPECIFIC GROUP OF CARS. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET AND THEN SUFFERED THROUGH TWO ADDITIONAL CALIPER FAILURES. ALL REPAIRS OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. THIS IS ALSO ANOTHER COMMON ISSUE. NOW, I AM CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH A VALVE COVER GASKET FAILURE ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT 75,000 MILES (COMMON ISSUE). NOW THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY ON A 5 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY. DODGE CLAIMS TO HAVE STARTED THE WARRANTY IN 2012 ON A 2013 YEAR VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE LISTED AS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS, EXPENSIVE, AND POORLY MADE VEHICLES TO EXIST. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH SEVERAL TIMES. THROUGH DODGE-DART.ORG YOU WILL SEE SEVERAL DANGEROUS AND NEGLIGIBLE CHOICES MADE BY FIAT CHRYSLER AND HOW DANGEROUS THIS CAR CAN BE TO THE PUBLIC. I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD OFFER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 10 YEAR/200,000 MILES.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE ALL STUCK WITH PAYMENTS ON CARS THAT PUT US AT SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK BECAUSE OF FREQUENT AND RANDOM STALL OUTS, INCLUDING ONE THAT HAPPENED TO MYSELF AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AND ANOTHER ON A DARK DESOLATE COUNTRY ROAD, AND FCA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT OTHER THAN OFFER A 5% DISCOUNT ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, FOR WHICH COMPARABLE SIZE AND PRICE NO LONGER EXISTS WITHIN THE BRAND. THIS CAR IS THE DEFINITION OF A LEMON, WE BOUGHT IT CERTIFIED USED FROM DODGE AFTER THE CAR HAD A SINGLE OWNER AND WITH NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR THE BRAND OFFERING ANY SORT OF SIGNIFICANT ASSISTANCE IN REMEDYING THIS PRODUCT DEFECT OTHER THAN REPAIRS WITHIN WARRANTY THAT KEEP US ON THE ROAD FOR ANOTHER MONTH BEFORE THE NEXT BREAKDOWN, WE ARE FORCED TO PAY FOR AND DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT PUTS OUR FAMILY AT RISK EVEN MORE THAN IN GENERAL.

TAKATA RECALL, MY 2013 DODGE DART IS PART OF THE 15V-800 NHTSA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION AT THE BEGINNING OF 2015, I BELIEVE, THAT THE RECALL HAD OCCURRED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE CURRENT PART TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. I WENT IN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER AND WAS ADVISED OF THE SAME ISSUE. IN JUNE OF 2016, THE GAUGES FLICKERED BUT THE VEHICLE TURNED ON. LATER ON THAT DAY THE VEHICLE DID NOT TURN ON AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I REPLACED THE BATTERY. I WENT IN FOR MY REGULAR OIL CHANGE IN DECEMBER OF 2016 AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX THE ISSUE AT THE MOMENT AND WOULD CONTACT ME. I INFORMED THEM THAT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT I COULD NOT GET THE OIL CHANGE UNLESS I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE THERE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I INQUIRED ABOUT GETTING A RENTAL DUE TO THE FACT OF ME NOT KNOWING HOW LONG THE VEHICLE WOULD REMAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT PROVIDE RENTAL VEHICLES. YESTERDAY, I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN OIL CHANGE AND MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE RECALL RESOLVED. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS. I WENT TO TURN ON MY VEHICLE AND THE BATTERY WAS ONCE AGAIN DRAINED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A DEALERSHIP CAN TELL ITS CUSTOMERS THAT THEY DO NOT ISSUE RENTAL VEHICLES WHEN IT IS PART OF A NATIONWIDE SAFETY RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP BLATANTLY DISREGARDED THE MY SAFETY.

I WAS COMING HOME FROM CHURCH WHEN MY CAR STOP AND SHUT OFF ALL SO I WENT TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T. I NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY HOOD SO I POPPED THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. WHEN I WENT TO OPEN THE HOOD I NOTICE FIRE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY HOOD SO I RAN TO THE CORNER AND CALLED THE POLICE WHICH ACTUALLY TRANSFER ME TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND PUT OUT AND THE POLICE OFFICER TOOK A POLICE REPORT. REPORT NUMBER IS JA125391 AND I ONLY HAD 37,000 MILES

HAD TCM FLASHED(REPAIR 1), DROVE 2-3K MILE MORE, HAPPENED AGAIN, BROUGHT IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACED TCM (REPAIR 2, BEFORE TCM RECALL WAS ISSUED.) ABOUT 10K MILES LATER HAD TO BRING IT BACK, HAD TCM FLASHED AGAIN (REPAIR 3), ABOUT 10K MILES LATER TCM HAS PROBLEM AGAIN WHILE TRAVELING 40+ MILES DOWN A VERY BUSY CITY STREET AND NEED TO TOW VEHICLE, THIS NEW DEALERSHIP REPLACED TCM AGAIN (REPAIR 4 AFTER TCM RECALL IS ISSUED, 4K MILES LATER CAR IS NOW THROWING CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS FOR BCM, AND PCM WHICH I AM TOLD IS CONNECTED TO THE TCM. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF FILING A LEMON LAW CLAIM AGAINST CHRYSLER, A THREE YEAR OLD CAR THAT I PAID ALMOST $30,000 SHOULD NOT CAUSE SO MUCH STRESS. I CANNOT ALLOW MY FAMILY TO BE IN DANGER, I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT NEITHER ISSUE RESULTED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BUY MY VEHICLE BACK.

I HAVE HAD MY 2013 DODGE DART ONLY 2 YEARS AND AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THE PURCHASE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES. JUST YESTERDAY I HAD TO PUT IT IN THE THE SHOP TO HAVE THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM THAT I NEEDED TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE NAVIGATION SERVICE. ARE THEY KIDDING ME, I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY UNIT, DUE TO THE FACT IT GOES COMPLETELY OUT WITH A WHITE SCREEN AND IT JUST DOES NOT WORK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY, THE ENGINE IS RUNNING ROUGH. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AT MY COST OF $150.00 NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT ONE. THE SPEEDOMETER IS INCORRECT, THE INTERIOR LIGHT RATTLES AND DRIVES ME CRAZY ON LONG TRIPS. I HAVE HAD TO TAKEN IT IN FOR SEVERAL FRONT END ALIGNMENTS AT MY COST. IT JUST WILL NOT STAY ALIGNED, ITS SO FRUSTRATING AND COSTLY. BUT THE REAL SCARY ITEM IS WHEN IT FELT LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND HAD LOW TO NO ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING, I SLOWLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE RIDE AND TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL GOING, I TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND IT WAS STILL CRANKED. I AM PRAYING THAT THEY GET THESE CARS OFF THE ROAD AND PUT THEM IN A BUY BACK PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY ARE A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC. I AM SO UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED WITH MY DODGE THAT I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER.

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

THE CAR WON'T START. BATTERY IS COMPLETLY DEAD. WON'T EVEN CHARGE. (THAT'S NOT THE BIG DEAL) THE BIG DEAL IS WHEN I TRY TO REVERSE IT'S LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO GET IN GEAR. THEN WHOLE CAR SHAKES, AND THEN IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION STOPS AND IS ABOUT TO DROP. GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ALL TURN RED. HAVE TO START CAR AND TURN BACK ON TO GET IT TO GO TO NORMAL. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TOO. THEN EVENTUALLY TURNS OFF.

PROBLEMS SINCE DAY 1 WITH MY 2013 DODGE DART. THE CLUTCH WOULD STICK IN AND I WOULD HAVE TO POP IT UP WITH MY FOOT. I WOULD TAKE MY CAR IN AND EVEN LEFT IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. AND THE "SPECIALIST" SAID WHAT I WAS TELLING THEM ABOUT THE CLUTCH WAS IMPOSSIBLE! SO I STARTED VIDEOING AND POSTING MY CLUTCH ISSUES ON YOUTUBE. THE RADIO SWITCHES STATIONS BY ITSELF, IT GOES OFF OR WON'T COME ON. I'VE HAD THE RADIO REPLACED AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING!

I DECIDED TO GO TO A NEW MECHANIC, HE SAID ONE OF MY IGNITION COILS BLEW. 8 MONTHS LATER MY CAR STARTS DOING THE SAME THING AND MY MECHANIC SAYS ANOTHER IGNITION COIL BLEW. AND HE CANNOT GET ONE FOR MY EXACT CAR BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL ON BACK ORDER WITH DODGE! HE ALSO INFORMS ME THAT THERE ARE 3 COMPUTERS IN MY CAR AND THEY ARE NOT TALKING TO EACH OTHER. IT TOOK THEM A WHILE TO FIGURE OUT IT WAS THE IGNITION COIL BECAUSE THE COMPUTER DID NOT ALERT THAT TO THEIR TESTER. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND AFTER 3 TECHNICIANS LOOKED AT MY CAR THEY SAID I NEED A NEW TURBO.

GAUGES WILL FREEZE WHILE DRIVING, BUT RESET AFTER 20 MINUTES. HAS HAPPENED ON 4 SEPARATE OCCURENCES. WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN EXPRESSWAY AT 50MPH IN THE CITY, THE CAR LOST BOOST(PRESSURE FROM THE TURBO) CAUSING IT TO LOSE POWER DRAMATICALLY REDUCING SAFETY AND FUEL ECONOMY. THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO MERT SPEED LIMIT AND SLOWING DOWN TRAFFIC BEHIND AND THE ABILITY TO GET UP A HILL IN MY AREA. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE BEING AFFECTED BY THE P0299 LOW PRESSURE CODE.

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY CAR SINCE I GOT IT. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THREE RADIOS, AN ENTIRELY NEW TURBO WAS INSTALLED ONE YEAR AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. THEN THINGS WERE GOING WELL UNTIL RECENTLY. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP ABOUT 3 WEEKS IN A ROW. FIRST IT WAS ONE OF MY COILS THAT HAD BECOME INACTIVE. SO WHILE DRIVING IT THE CAR SHAKES AND STUTTERS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I TRY TO HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR STARTS SLOWING DOWN AND SHAKING. SO I HAD TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER SHOP TO LOOK AT IT BECAUSE FOR A NEW CAR IT IS NOT IN MY FINANCES TO BE PUTTING $400 INTO MY CAR EVERY WEEK. HAD TO GET THE PART ORDERED SO I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING MY CAR AROUND WITH ONE COIL INACTIVE. THEN IN THE MIDST OF ALL THIS HAPPENING, ONE WEEK AFTER THE COIL HAD OFFICIALLY WENT INACTIVE, IT WAS BACK IN THE SHOP BECAUSE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE ALL OF A SUDDEN BECAME REALLY LOOSE AND WHEN I WASN'T MOVING THE CAR WOULD ROLL. WHICH MEANS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WASN'T DOING ITS JOB. SO THAT NIGHT I TOOK IT OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT YET AGAIN. THEY CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THAT MY LEFT REAR CALIBER HAD SEIZED WHICH IS DESCRIBED TO ME THAT IT WASN'T GRABBING AND RELEASING THE WHEEL LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE WHICH ALSO CAUSED MY BRAKES AND ROTORS TO WEAR SO MUCH THAT THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED. WHICH THIS WAS SOMETHING I COULD NOT JUST LET GO, OR EVEN DRIVE THE CAR WITH, I HAD TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP OVER $400 TO JUST FIX MY CAR SO THAT I COULD DRIVE IT. I CANNOT BELIEVE ALL THE TROUBLE THAT I AM GOING THROUGH FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT EVEN 5 YEARS OLD.

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY 2013 DODGE DART GT WITH A 2.4 TIGER SHARK ENGINE WITH MULTIAIR HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING ON THE ROAD. THE REASON FOR THIS THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME WAS DUE TO LOW OIL, WHICH WE RECENTLY REALIZED USES AT LEAST 1/2 QUART PER 1,000 MILES. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. THEY SAID THAT BEFORE 50,000 MILES IT IS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS TO BURN 1 QUART FOR EVERY 1000 MILES AND AFTER 50,000 MILES IT IS NORMAL TO BURN 1 QUART FOR EVERY 750 MILES. THIS WAS NEVER DIVULGED TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT FIRST DID THIS STARTING AT 35,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 42,000 MILES. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY OIL LIGHT OR ANY OTHER ENGINE LIGHT THAT GOES ON BEFORE THE VEHICLE DIES. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN SOME VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND WHO WOULD WANT TO BUY IT FROM ME? TWO DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE ENGINE ON THIS CAR TO BURN LOTS OF OIL, TO DIE WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING IF THE OIL IS LOW, AND FOR THE OIL LIGHT NOT TO GO ON BECAUSE THE CAR WILL STOP RUNNING BEFORE THE SENSOR IS ACTIVATED. THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE. THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS THE OIL SENSOR NEVER ACTIVATES TO TELL ME THE OIL IS LOW. THEY TELL ME TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN THE CAR. I FIND THAT TO BE AN UNACCEPTABLE SOLUTION. THE OIL HAS ALWAYS BEEN CHANGED AT NORMAL INTERVALS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGES MADE A TICKING SOUND AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FLICKERED. THE CONTACT WAS TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE AND HER HUSBAND HAD TO USE A METAL KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REBUILT BECAUSE THE GAUGE THAT REGULATES THE TEMPERATURE WAS NOT IN THE ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER REPLACED THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND PULLED TO THE LEFT WHILE TRAVELING 55 MPH. WHILE TRAVELING 25 MPH THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE, BUT THE BRAKES FAILED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A CURB, WHICH CREATED A GASH IN THE TIRE AND THE RIM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

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?!?

I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE IN AUGUST 26TH WHICH WAS JUST SENT OUT TO DODGE DART OWNERS. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ME 1,500-2,000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM, MONEY WHICH I DO NOT HAVE SO I TRADED IN MY CAR WITH NEGATIVE EQUITY, AND THE DEALERSHIP, I BELIEVE WAS VERY NON-PROFESSIONAL AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION.

9/03/15 MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING WHILE GOING APPROX 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. RPM'S SHOT UP AND THE TRANS WENT OUT INSTANTANEOUSLY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, ENGINE AND TRANS LIGHTS CAME ON, CAR WOULD NOT GO IN ANY GEAR. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART IT, MEANWHILE I SAT LIKE A SITTING DUCK WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK, HOPING THAT THE SPEEDING CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS APPROACHING WOULD NOT CRASH INTO ME. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER. DEALER SAID THE CAUSE WAS A FLASHED PCM, IT WAS REPROGRAMMED I WAS TOLD IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. ON 9/05/15 1 HOUR AFTER COMING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. DEALER WAS CLOSED FOR THE WEEKEND SO I LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE, 2 HOURS LATER THE CAR STARTED BUT WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE, AN HOUR LATER, THE CAR HAD REVERSE BUT NO DRIVE.THE NEXT MORNING THE CAR STARTED, ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF AND ALL GEARS WORKED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID CODES WERE NOW SHOWING IT WAS THE TRANS RANGE SENSOR. GOT THE CAR BACK FOR THE 2ND TIME ON SEPT.16. SEPT.19 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN THE NEXT STATE, THE TRANS WENT OUT AGAIN WHILE GOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN! THIS TIME I WAS LEFT STRANDED OVER 70 HIGHWAY MILES FROM HOME. AFTER WAITING A FEW HOURS I WAS FINALLY WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME, TAKING TAKE SIDE ROADS IN CASE THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN. WHAT SHOULD'VE BEEN A 1 1/2 HOUR RIDE HOME ON THE INTERSTATE TOOK ME OVER 5 HOURS DRIVING ON SIDE ROADS. THIS CAR IS GOING BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 2 1/2 WEEKS! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, THERE ARE TOO MANY REPORTS INVOLVING THIS ISSUE ON SEVERAL WEBSITES I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE OR HAVING MY WIFE AND KIDS IN IT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY!

ON 09/01/15 REPLACED BATTERY AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD ALL THE UPDATES DONE ON MY CAR WHILE ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP AND NOW I AM TIRED OF BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY CHRYSLER. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO LOSE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO TRADE OR SELL MY CAR BACK TO A DEALER TO GET OUT OF THIS NIGHTMARE. I WANT MY CAR RECALLED BACK FOR A FULL REFUND BECAUSE OF THE REOCCURRING PROBLEMS I KEEP HAVING. I HAVE SENT A LEMON LAW LETTER TO CHRYSLER ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2014 AND PUT THEM ON NOTICE ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND DEMANDED A BUY BACK WHICH IN TURN THEY GAVE ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH HAS COVERED ALL THE REPAIR EXPENSES. I ALSO JUST SETTLED A LAW SUIT WITH CHRYSLER THROUGH THE LAW OFFICES OF KROHN AND MOSS IN CHICAGO THE LAWYER DID NOT PURSUE MY CASE IN COURT DUE TO BEING OUT OF STATE.

I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE IN AUGUST OF 2014 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON ME WHILE AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON, MY TRANSMISSION ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SO I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A PART FOR THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN IN FEBRUARY OF 2015 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF ON ME ONCE AGAIN WHILE STUCK IN TRAFFIC ON THE EXPRESSWAY. WHEN I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. AGAIN, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS AGAIN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE FROM THE PREVIOUS MONTHS BEFORE. ONCE AGAIN I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON MAY OF 2015 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF ON ME FOR THE THIRD TIME WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT BUT THIS TIME MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SMELL LIKE IT WAS BURNING OIL. WHEN I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE, MY OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN MY CAR WAS BEING LOOKED AT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND THEY ALSO STATED THAT " SOMETHING WORSE HAD TO HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE FOR THEM FIX THE PROBLEM." THEY TEST DROVE MY VEHICLE AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE SO IT WAS RETURNED TO ME. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE IF IT KEEPS ON SHUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT AND ALSO SMELLING LIKE BURNING OIL AND FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR THIS LAST VISIT IS REALLY UPSETTING. ALL OF THESE SCENARIOS HAVE HAPPENED IN LESS THAN A YEAR OF PURCHASING MY VEHICLE.THIS IS VERY SCARY AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THIS CAUSES A CRASH OR POSSIBLY DEATH! I SENT A LETTER TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS SITUATION, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS SO SAD.

AS I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, MY CAR LOST POWER AND DID A HALF SHUT OFF (LOST POWER ITEMS, BUT DID NOT ACTUALLY LOCK THE STEERING OUT AS IF THE CAR WAS IN PARK). I WAS STILL MOVING AND WAS DOING APPROX. 20-25 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MY POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC WERE ALL LOST AND THERE WAS AN OVERWHELMING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEREO SYSTEM (SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB GOING OFF IN THE CAR.). I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STOPPED AND PULLED OVER TO A TURN LANE THAT WAS NOT IN USE WITHOUT GETTING HIT. ONCE I GOT THE CAR STOPPED, IT STARTED BACK UP AND I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST ISSUE WITH THE CAR. IT ALSO HAS HAD 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION' ERRORS AND GAVE US NUMEROUS ISSUES ON CHRISTMAS DAY AS IT WOULD NOT START WHEN WE WERE HEADED HOME. EACH TIME, THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 92 DAYS WHILE THEY REWIRED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

WHEN WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR, IT WILL START TO SHUDDER WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND WITHIN A MINUTE THE ABS SYSTEM WILL TURN ON. WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM TURNS ON, YOU CAN ACTUALLY FEEL THE BRAKING TRYING TO STOP THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS, FROM 20 TO 30 MPH UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS AT 70 MPH. YOU CANNOT SHUT OF THE ABS SYSTEM WITH THE SAFETY SWITCH WHEN IT TURNS ITSELF ON. WE HAVE PULLED OVER, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THIS DOES NOT ALWAYS SEEM TO WORK. WE HAVE TURNED OFF THE ABS SYSTEM WHEN WE HAVE STARTED THE CAR, BUT THE COMPUTER IN THE ENGINE WILL OVERRIDE THIS AND HAS TURNED IT BACK ON. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, IT STARTS TO TRY BRAKING AGAIN WHILE WE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED, BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN SOLVING THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS CALLED CHRYSLER TO FIND OUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY WERE TOLD TO CHANGE THE IGNITION COIL POWER PACK, WHICH THEY DID. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO US, IT STARTED THIS SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THE LAST TIME WE TOOK IT IN (APRIL 2015) THE DEALERSHIP KEPT IT FOR TWO WEEKS AND WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS DONE THIS TO US TWICE, BUT BEFORE WE COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, IT CORRECTED ITSELF. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM? *TR

I STARTED HAVING HEADACHES SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE (2013 DODGE DART). THE HEADACHES CONTINUED TO WORSEN, SO I FINALLY WENT TO THE DOCTOR, HAD CT SCAN AND WAS FINALLY DIAGNOSED WITH HAVING MIGRAINES. I WASN'T AWARE THAT IT WAS THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIR FOR RECIRCULATING AIR ISSUES AND I DIDN'T DRIVE IT FOR A WEEK (DECEMBER 2014). ONCE WE RECEIVED THE CAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP (NOT FIXED) I WAS REALLY SICK (HORRIBLE MIGRAINE) THE NEXT DAY DUE TO THE FUMES. I HAVEN'T RODE IN THE CAR SINCE DECEMBER 19, 2014. I HAVEN'T HAD A MIGRAINE SINCE AROUND DECEMBER 20-21, 2014. THE CAR WAS DROPPED OFF ON JANUARY 2, 2015 BY MY HUSBAND BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TO HAVE THE RECIRCULATE AIR FIXED. THE VEHICLE WAS READY ON JANUARY 8, 2015 BUT WAS NOT PICKED UP UNTIL JANUARY 9, 2015. ON JANUARY 9, 2015, MY HUSBAND PICKED THE CAR UP AND DROVE IT AROUND FOR LITTLE WHILE. HE THEN WENT TO PICK OUR DAUGHTER UP FROM SCHOOL AND SHE BEGIN COUGHING IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE RECIRCULATE AIR WENT OUT AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS VEHICLE AND TO NO AVAIL. I CONTACTED THEM TODAY (JANUARY 9, 2015) AND THEY WANTED US TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I GUESS THEY WANT THE FUMES TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO PASS OUT ALONG THE WAY.

WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR DROPS INTO NEUTRAL AND I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ANY GEARS. ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE DISPLAYS A "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE" MESSAGE ON THE CAR'S DASH/DISPLAY. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER, OR IF I POWER THE CAR DOWN AND START IT BACK UP, I CAN GET THE GEARS BACK, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND THE CAR DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND THE CAR IS SLUGGISH.

THE THIRD TIME OCCURRED TODAY (12/16/2014) AND IT IS AT THE DEALER NOW WAITING ON SOMEONE TO LOOK AT IT. TODAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET MY CAR ACROSS THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC AND ONTO THE SHOULDER OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN NEW JERSEY. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY AS IT WOULD HAVE INVOLVED A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT WITH AN 18-WHEELER SEMI-TRUCK. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 01/22/2013. THE FIRST OF MANY INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE CHANGING LANES AND I SUDDENLY HAD FULL POWER LOSS. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY SEVERAL FASTER MOVING CARS. THE CAR WAS ALSO QUICKLY SLOWING DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN AND PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY. AS I WENT TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT THIS VEHICLE HAD POWER LOSS AGAIN. BETWEEN 02/25/2012 AND 11/07/2014 AND 26,000 MILES THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OVER 10 TIMES. IT HAS MULTIPLE POWER LOSS ISSUES, AND GAUGE ISSUES. HEADLIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS HAVE GONE OUT, AND RANDOM WINDOWS ROLL DOWN WHEN PUSHING THE BUTTONS. THIS VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IN ITS ENTIRETY. REPAIR SHOPS TELL CONSECUTIVELY THAT THEY CANNOT REPAIR ALL THE ISSUES. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE FOR 5 DAYS THIS TIME AND THEY CANNOT GET THE VEHICLE TO START. SHOP FAILED TO PUT POWER LOSS ISSUES ON FIRST ISSUE ON TICKET, UNTIL IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME ON 07/02/2013 WHILE I WAS IN A SCHOOL ZONE. *TR

ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING 80MPH, WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR JUST REVVED UP TO 7500RPM, LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. CHECKED THE GEAR SHIFT AND TRIED AGAIN WITH ONLY GETTING THE CAR TO REV. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, TURNED IT BACK ON IT ACTED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T CATCHING. NOT ONCE DID IT SHOW ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER WARNINGS. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT TOOK THEM 2 DAYS TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEN IT FINALLY TURNED ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT HAS BEEN BEING REPAIRED FOR OVER A WEEK NOW BECAUSE NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG WITH IT EVEN THOUGH IT HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. *TR

Mileage: 15,000

VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN THEN WHEN COMING TO AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED HARD. UPON GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THEN BECAME INOPERABLE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT START OR EVEN CRANK. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER FOR MANY ELECTRICAL AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND WE GOT REALLY LUCKY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT IN THE INTERSECTION. *TR

Mileage: 17,200

THE ISSUE I AM CONTINUING TO HAVE IS DURING ACCELERATION, USUALLY ONTO THE INTERSTATE, I WILL LOSE ABOUT 2/3 OF MY ENGINE POWER DURING ACCELERATION. IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON, NOT ACTIVATED, IT WILL TURN ITSELF OFF AND NOT TURN BACK ON. THE POWER LOSS IS SIGNIFICANT. THE ONLY OPTION TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, OR MAKING OTHER DRIVERS ANGRY BECAUSE I HAVE SUDDENLY SLOWED ON AN ON RAMP, IS TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO RESET THIS ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE IN FEBRUARY. AFTER THE 5TH TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. TO MY UNDERSTANDING THEY JUST RESET THE LIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN ONCE SINCE. I AM ALSO NOW DEALING WITH TURBO SURGING DURING ACCELERATION AND OVER REVVING AT STOP LIGHTS AND WHILE SHIFTING. THE RPM'S ARE NOT DROPPING AS I SHIFT UNTIL I LET OUT THE CLUTCH. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES, TWICE OVER NIGHT. THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND HAVE SENT ME ON MY WAY. I CALLED DODGE AND THEY OPENED A CASE OCT 10, AGAIN CANNOT DUPLICATE, CASE CLOSED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE ME TO BE REAR ENDED EITHER ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP OR ON THE SHOULDER WHILE TURNING MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON. SYMPTOMS ARE ALSO SIMILAR TO ANOTHER COMPLAINT NHTSA ID 10616062. *TR

ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION, GEARS AND POWER. AFTER PARKING MY CAR AND ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON, MULTIPLE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH BOARD, AND MESSAGE READ THAT MY CAR DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE GEAR. WAS NOT ABLE TO START CAR. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH AND MY CAR STOP WORKING, LOST ALL POWER AND IT TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO USE THE GEARS. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR WONT RECOGNIZE THE GEARS USED AND IT WILL ACT AS THOUGH IT IS IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED A DECLINE OF POWER WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS BACK FIRING IN THE ENGINE WHEN CYLINDERS MISFIRE. HEATED SEATS DON'T ALWAYS WORK AND THE KEY FOBS DON'T ALWAYS WORK. *TR

THE CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR PREVENTING ME FROM BEING ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF GEAR OR DISENGAGE THE ENGINE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. BECAUSE I AM A MECHANIC I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A CRASH.

I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHILE MY 2013 DODGE DART WAS IN DRIVE ON AUGUST 14, 2014. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN SO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WENT. I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE AND THE CAR ACTED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE RPM'S OF THE CAR CLIMBED TO 6000 AND THE CAR WENT NOWHERE. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND THE RPM'S WERE STILL HIGH. THE RPM'S LOWERED AND AROUND 2500 RPM'S THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AS IF IT CAUGHT GEAR. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND PARKED IT. I DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHEN IT SHIFTED. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR FOR FOUR DAYS. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I PICKED MY CAR UP ON AUGUST 18, 2014. I DROVE THE CAR HOME. ON AUGUST 19, 2014 I TOOK THE DODGE DART BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT SOUNDED AS IF THE CLICKING IN AND OUT WHEN CHANGING GEARS WAS HAPPENING. I LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *TR

I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER TO CHECK FOR SLUGGISH ACCELERATION. IT SEEMS THE TURBO ISN'T WORKING AND I HAVE TO DOWN-SHIFT SEVERAL TIMES TO GET UP A HILL I TRAVEL EVERY DAY. THEY SAID IT JUST NEEDED A COMPUTER UPDATE. NOTHING CHANGED AFTER THEIR "UPDATE". CAR BACKFIRES EVERY MORNING IT'S COLD OUTSIDE AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY POWER UNTIL THE ENGINE WARMS UP CONSIDERABLY. CAR STILL BACKFIRES EVEN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. CRUISE TURNS OFF BY ITSELF AND WON'T COME BACK ON UNLESS I STOP THE CAR, TURN IT OFF, THEN RESTART IT. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE BEFORE DECEMBER. IT IS NOW JULY 2014 AND A CERTIFIED MECHANIC HAS CHECKED OUT MY ENGINE--MY TURBO IS TRASHED AND THERE IS OIL IN IT!! THERE IS A ROD THAT OPENS THE VACUUM/AIR THAT IS STUCK. IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS UNDER A RECALL, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT IT. THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM SHOULD HAVE MADE THE RECALLS KNOWN BEFORE I PURCHASED IT IN MAY 2013. OR THEY SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND HAD THEM FIXED BEFORE SELLING IT. I PURCHASED IT USED WITH 4000 MILES ON IT; NOW I KNOW WHY THE PREVIOUS OWNER WANTED TO BUY ANOTHER CAR! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INSIDE CAR SHUTS OFF AND TURNS BACK ON REPEATEDLY, EVEN IF I AM ONLY GOING 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THE FUEL AND ENGINE TIE TOGETHER AS ONE; IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE THE EXHAUST LETS OUT A VERY STRONG ODOR THAT CONTINUE'S FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF ANY TRIP. THEN WHEN ACCELERATING USING AUTOMATIC DRIVE OR EVEN THE DRY CLUTCH THE EXHAUST MAKES A LOUD RATTLING NOISE AS IT SWITCHES FROM GEAR TO GEAR. ALSO, DURING DRIVING THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING AND HAS HESITATION WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING COMPLETELY. *JS

Mileage: 12,380

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CUTS OUT SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DRIVING. AT NIGHT IT IS BAD BECAUSE ALL THE INSIDE LIGHT GO OUT AND YOU CAN TELL YOUR SPEED OR ANYTHING UNTIL IT TURNS BACK ON. THE ENGINE AND FUEL ARE ONE ISSUE; AFTER STARTING IT THE EXHAUST HAS A BAD ODOR AND STAYS DURING THE ENTIRE TRAVEL UNTIL IT IS TURNED OFF. THE ENGINE ALSO HESITATES AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. *JS

AS WE WERE CROSSING A LARGE BRIDGE IN NEW YORK CITY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WITHIN A MINUTE AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON, THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING, AND THE CAR BEGAN TO RUN VERY ROUGHLY. SMOKE BEGAN TO COME FROM THE VENTS, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND OVERHEAT. AFTER ANOTHER MINUTE, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND BECAME MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. WE STOPPED AT THE CLOSEST AREA TO PULL OFF. CHRYSLER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE HAD US WAIT FOR TWO HOURS BEFORE NOTIFYING US THAT OUR CAR WAS LOCATED 100FT SHY OF BEING ABLE TO BE TOWED. WE MANAGED TO FUDGE THE CAR ANOTHER 100FT, AND REACHED A SIDE STREET WHERE WE NEEDED TO WAIT ANOTHER TWO HOURS TO BE TOWED. THIS WAS MAY 11TH. THE VERDICT FROM THE LOCAL DEALER IS THAT THE ENTIRE BOTTOM END FELL OFF AFTER JUST OVER ONE YEAR OF TYPICAL USE (LESS THAN 17000 MILES), AND THE ENGINE MUST BE REBUILT (CRANKSHAFT, ENGINE BLOCK, EVERYTHING). WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN ESTIMATED TIME OF COMPLETION, AND ONLY ESTIMATES OF WHEN THE ENGINE WILL BE IN (OVER A MONTH LATER) DETACHMENT OR PARTIAL DETACHMENT OF THESE COMPONENTS IS EXTRAORDINARILY DANGEROUS, PARTICULARLY AT THE SPEED THAT WE WERE MOVING, AND WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO BE INJURED, OR BE IN AN ACCIDENT. WE WERE EVEN LUCKY TO GET OFF OF THE BRIDGE. *TR

I WASH STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN VEHICLE MOTOR STARTED REVVING UP ALL THE WAY TO WHERE THE TACHOMETER WAS FULLY IN THE RED. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING WAS PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DOWN. THERE WERE SEVERAL CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND AS WELL BEHIND ME. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF DRIVE AS IT CREPT FORWARD. I HAD TO TURN IGNITION OFF TO STOP THE CAR! WHEN LIGHT TURNED TO GREEN AND THE OTHER CARS HAD MOVED FORWARD I THEN STARTED THE CAR AND PULLED IT TO THE ROADSIDE. TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND RESTARTED THE CAR. EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO MY DESTINATION. LATER DRIVING THE CAR HOME WAS DEFINITELY AN ADVENTURE OF PURE NERVES DUE TO THE SCARE THIS INCIDENT. I HAVE NOW CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND WAITING NOW FOR AN HOUR FOR SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME BACK FOR AN APPOINTMENT. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO HAVE HAPPENED BUT THANKFUL NO ONE WAS HURT. *TR

SITTING IDLE IN DRIVE-THRU CAR STARTED SMOKING HEAVILY UNDER THE HOOD AND THRU THE INTERIOR VENTS. FINALLY STALLED. GOT IT RESTARTED BUT IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES, IT FINALLY WENT INTO DRIVE AND I DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE NEAREST DODGE DEALER. AFTER A WEEK, THEY FOUND THE DUAL CLUTCHES BOTH NEEDED REPLACED. WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN N WHENEVER SITTING AT AN IDLE LONGER THAN A FEW SECONDS. (THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME). WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WAS NOT TO 'RIDE' THE BRAKE. EITHER "BE ON IN OR OFF OF IT". (THIS IS ALSO UNACCEPTABLE TO ME.) ALSO, CAR REVS UP TO ~5,000RPMS BEFORE SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND BUT (OF COURSE) NEVER DOES IT WHEN I LEAVE IT FOR THE DEALER. AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE. MY DEALER HAS BEEN GOOD BUT I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER DODGE. I BUY NEW FOR SAFETY, SECURITY AND RELIABILITY AND WITH THIS VEHICLE, I FEEL I HAVE NONE OF THE 3.

OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 10 MONTHS AND ISSUES WITH ENGINE STALLING/HESITATION HAVE GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SINCE MY FIRST ENCOUNTER AT THE DEALERSHIP AT 13,300 MILES. I FIRST REPORTED THIS ISSUE WITH ENGINE STALLING/HESITATION AND THEY STATED IT WAS A SPARK PLUG/PLUG WIRE ISSUE, (IRIDIUM SPARK PLUGS RATED FOR 100,000 MILES). AFTER REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG THEY THEN DETERMINED IT NEEDED A CONTROL MODULE REPLACED AND AN ENGINE RESET FOR MY COMPUTER SYSTEM. AFTER THAT IT HAS BEEN IN A FEW MORE TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHS FOR THE SAME ENGINE STALLING AND HESITATION ISSUES. MY ENGINE HAS BEEN "RESET AND THE COMPUTER UPDATED" AND SINCE MY GAS MILEAGE HAS GOTTEN WORSE AS WELL AS THE STALLING/HESITATION ISSUES ARE STILL THERE AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. THEN MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AS I WAS IN D AS IF I HAD PUT MY VEHICLE INTO N AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL JUST REVVING THE ENGINE, IT HAS DONE THE SAME WHEN I SWITCH TO PUT MY VEHICLE IN R. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE THEREFORE GIVING THEM NOTHING TO GO BY OTHER THAN MY WORD OF MOUTH EXPERIENCE. DAYS AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM THE DEALER IT WENT OUT ON MY AS I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR THOROUGHWAY AT 50MPH. I PRESSED THE GAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AND IT JUST REVVED THE ENGINE, LIGHTS FLASHED ON SHIFTER AND DASH. I HAD TO MANUALLY SWITCH THROUGH MY GEARS TO TRY AND GET THE CAR TO GO. AFTER MY HUSBAND PULLED MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST PARKING AREA SAFELY I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND GO FORWARD, IT WOULDN'T START RIGHT AWAY IT TRIED TO CRANK BUT WOULDN'T TURN OVER WHEN IT STARTED JUST THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON MY DASH NO MORE ERRORS WERE DISPLAYED. I DID MANAGE TO TAKE PICTURES WITH MY CELLPHONE BEFORE. I WANT DODGE TO OWN UP AND FIX THIS INSTEAD OD PUTTING A BANDAID AND SENDING ME ALONG.

THIS CAR HAS 249 MILES AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT! I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND I AM FURIOUS WITH DODGE WHEN THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL CAR AND JUST CONTINUE TO IGNORE OR BLAME THE CUSTOMERS.

I'VE TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAW PICTURES AND I EVEN MADE IT GET UP TO 3/4 ON THE TEMP GAUGE AND THEY SAY THAT AS LONG AS IT IS NOT ON THE "H" THEN IT IS FINE AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE THERE ARE FLAPS THAT CLOSE WHEN NOT MOVING . I HAVE CHECKED WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE TECHNICIANS AND THEY SAY THAT THE TEMP GOING UP LIKE THAT WILL AFFECT THE LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE IN A NEGATIVE WAY , BUT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S O.K .

I BOUGHT MY 13 DART (1.4 W/6SPD) AND AT THE 200 MILE MARK THE CAR BEGAN TO "SURGE" WHEN SHIFTING THROUGH 2ND AND 3RD GEAR, FROM 2,700 TO 3,300 RPMS. INITIALLY IT WAS JUST ANNOYING AND NOTICEABLE. MY 1ST TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME DODGE SAID IT IS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE MULTIAIR TURBO, AND I SHOULD SWITCH TO PREMIUM FUEL. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP I DROVE A USED 1.4/6SPD AND IT HAD THE SAME SURGING ISSUE. ANOTHER WEEK WENT BY AND AT APPROX 1,400 MILES THE SURGING COULD BE FELT IN 4TH GEAR. A SECOND TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. AGAIN, DODGE TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER "IT'S NORMAL. SWITCH TO PREMIUM." I THEN SWITCHED TO PREMIUM AND AFTER THREE FULL TANKS THE VEHICLE NOW SURGES IN 2 TO 6TH GEAR, ALL AROUND 2,700 TO 3,300 RPMS. ADDITIONALLY, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS GOING 45MPH IN 4TH AND WHEN I TRIED TO SPEED UP THE CAR WOULD SURGE VIOLENTLY AND I HAD TO PULL OVER TO AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. NOW, A THIRD TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP STILL NO RESOLUTION. NOW, AT 6,100 MILES, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH WVA HILLS AND IN 6TH AT 75MPH THE CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SURGE CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I HAVE SWITCHED BACK TO 87 GRADE GAS BUT I ONLY GET 39MPG AVG VS 45MPG AVG I WAS GETTING. INITIALLY, I WAS EXCITED ABOUT MY NEW PURCHASE AND THE DEALERSHIP COMMUNICATED WITH ME EXTENSIVELY. NOW THAT THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION FOR THIS "NORMAL" SURGE THE GM WON'T CALL ME BACK OR ANSWER MY CALLS. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER THE INITIAL CASE MANAGER TOOK MY CASE FOR INVESTIGATION, BUT AFTER ONLY 2 DAYS SHE TOLD ME THE CASE HAS BEEN FORWARDED UP TO A HIGHER LEVEL EXECUTIVE INVESTIGATION TEAM, BUT IN OVER A WEEK I HAVE HEARD NOTHING.

MY ASSESSMENT, WHICH IS BASED ON ENGINEERING EXPERTISE NOT EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE, SUGGESTS THAT, RATHER THAN RESPONDING TO DRIVER CONTROLLED BY-WIRE" INSTRUCTIONS TO BRAKE PREPARATORY TO A HARD RIGHT TURN INTO OUR DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE TOOK CONTROL OF THE THROTTLE, BRAKE, AND (DRIVE-BY-WIRE ?) CLUTCH PROPELLING ITSELF 20 METERS FURTHER DOWN-ROAD TO THE RIVER SHORELINE. PERHAPS READING THE BRAKE COMMAND AS AN ACCELERATION INSTRUCTION (OR ???) THE VEHICLE CONTINUED FORWARD AND DROVE ITSELF OFF THE ROAD, TUMBLING 2 METRES ONTO A BEACH, THEN FROM THE BEACH ONTO THE RIVER ICE WHICH EXTENDS OUT TOWARDS MID-RIVER. IT CONTINUED ACROSS THAT ICE ONLY TO END ITS FORWARD PROGRESS AT THE ICE/WATER BOUNDARY WHERE IT PLUNGED INTO OPEN WATER WITHIN 100 METERS OF HOME. THESE EVENTS EFFECTIVELY ENDING A JOURNEY HOME WITH DEATH. THE OTTAWA CORONER REPORTS NO INDICATION (SUCH AS BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVELS / MEDICAL EVENTS) TO INDICATE THE DRIVER CONTRIBUTED TO THIS OUTCOME IN ANY WAY. IF THE DRIVER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE THEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS EVENT LIES WITH THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE ALONE. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT (1) MY SON IS A PROFESSIONAL AZ LICENSED DRIVER (2) HAVING FISHED IT OFTEN, IS INTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH THE ROAD/FERRY BOUNDARY IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO OUR HOME (3) WERE MECHANICALLY OPERATED STEERING ALL THAT REMAINED UNDER HIS CONTROL HE WOULD HAVE HAD THREE CHOICES: RIGHT INTO THE RIVER; STRAIGHT AHEAD INTO THE RIVER, OR LEFT ONTO A BEACH FORMED BY THE DEPOSITION OF RIVER SILT OVER TIME (THE CAR WENT LEFT OFF THE ROAD) (4) THE RECORD LEFT BY HIS BODY SHOWS ARM AND FIST POSTURE THAT SUGGEST DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS LITERALLY FORCED HIS HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL. STRAPPED AND PINNED TO THEIR SEATS BY THE VEHICLES SAFETY SYSTEMS, MY WIFE AND SON WERE HELPLESS ONLOOKERS AS THE VEHICLE DELIVERED THEM TO THEIR DEATH. BLACK BOX ANALYSIS TO FOLLOW. *TR
