NEVER GOT THIS LETTER THEN MY BRAKES STARTED MAKING HORRIBLE NOISES SATURDAY JULY 27TH. TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE CALIPER FOR MY BRAKES BROKE.

THE 2013 DODGE DART HAS ISSUES WITH THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS. WHEN I DISENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE THE REAR CALIPERS DO NOT RELEASE PRESSURE CAUSING THE REAR BRAKES TO DRAG. THIS IS NOT ONLY MY VEHICLE, I HAVE READ ONLINE PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. FOR ME TO FIX THIS PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO GET NEW REAR CALIPERS. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE CALIPER IS A SPRING WHICH THE PARKING BRAKE CONNECTS TO I HAD TO DISENGAGE THIS MYSELF. CAUSING ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO USE MY PARKING BRAKE.

MY 2013 DART HAS STARTED HAVING BREAKING ISSUES RECENTLY, YEAR 2013-2016 DARTS HAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE ASSIST IN THE PAST, AND MY ISSUES ARE VERY SIMILAR. WHEN STOPED AT A REDLIGHT, MY CAR CONTINUES TO ROLL FORWARD SLOWLY, ENOUGH THAT I HAVE TO PUSH BRAKE PEDAL COMPLETELY DOWN. AND IT TAKES A LOT LONGER AND MORE DISTANCE TO SLOW DOWN FAST AND SAFELY, IT'S ALMOST CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS , AND HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN A FEW RED LIGHTS TO AVOID STOPPING LATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, WHICH I FEEL IS UNSAFE , ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE MY 3 KIDS WITH ME.

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.

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART AERO 6 SPEED MANUAL, DUAL DRY CLUTCH, MULTI AIR TURBO. I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2017. 4 MONTHS LATER I HAD BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO CARSENSE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. MEANWHILE I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES ALSO DUE TO BRAKING ISSUES AND MY EBRAKE WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN. IT WORKED WHEN IT WANTED TO, BUT YET EVERYTHING IS IN "GREAT CONDITION" SAYS CARSENCE.MIND YOU THAT I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY AND IT WAS RECENTLY INSPECTED IN JANUARY 2017. SERVICE DEPT. INSPECTED MY BRAKES AND GAVE ME THE CURRENT MEASUREMENTS OF EXISTING BRAKE PADS LEFT. ABOUT JUNE 2018 I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN IN A 25 MPH SIDE STREET WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC. I HAD TROUBLE SLOWING DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN I MANAGED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP I HEARD A LOUD BANG. HERE MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR ROTOR WAS SEVERELY SMOKING AND I NOTICED MY ROTOR WAS REDHOT. MY ROTOR SNAPPED COMPLETELY IN HALF. MY SHIFTER WOULD RANDOMLY POP OUT OF GEAR OR THE CLUTCH WOULD LIGHTLY STICK, SMELLING EXHAUST ODOR I'M NOW PUSHING 62, 000 MILES AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW. I AM COMING HOME INTO MY DEVELOPMENT. I'M IN SECOND GEAR TURNING ONTO MY LANE AND DOING MAYBE 10 MPH WELL IT DECIDES TO POP OUT OF GEAR AND ACCELERATES, REDLINING SECOND GEAR(I'M ASSUMING IT THINKS IT'S IN SECOND) AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE FLASHING STEERING WHEEL IT LOCKED. CAR IS NOW DOING 80 MPH IN A 15 MPH ZONE. MY BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL BRAKE PEDAL IS HARDER THAN HARD. I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE!! ENGINE FINALLY CUTS OUT AFTER I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. COMES TO A SCREECHING HALT. THANK GOD. IT WONT START STILL TO THIS DAY..OIL IN TURBO AND UP THE HOSE. BATTERY PLAYS DEAD ALONG WITH MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AND MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS A COMPUTER UPGRADE THAT'S NOT EVEN AVAILABLE FOR THE 1.4L TURBO ENGINE...IT NEEDS A TCM, NEW MASTER CYLINDER.

I HAD TOOK MY CAR TO CHRYSLER IN BIDDEFORD IN MAY 2017 C/O THAT MY E-BRAKE WAS NOT HOLDING MY CAR. ONCE I GOT THE CAR BACK I COULD HARDLY LIFT THE BRAKE. I WENT BACK IN AND ASKED WHY IT WAS THAT WAY, THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD LOOSEN UP AS I USE IT. I USED THE BRAKE A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER AND IT WENT UP ABOUT AN INCH. THE NEXT TIME I USED IT WAS IN FEBRUARY AND WHEN I PULLED UP ON THE BRAKE LEVEL IT WENT STRAIGHT UP. I CALLED AND LEFT NUMEROUS VM. NO ONE CALLED ME BACK. I WENT BACK IN ON A SATURDAY FOR MY OIL CHANGE. I TALKED TO A REP THERE AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD LEAVE A NOTE FOR SOMEONE TO CALL ME BACK ON MONDAY. I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK. I FINALLY GOT SOMEONE TO MAKE AN APPT FOR ME TO BRING MY CAR IN. ONCE THEY FOUND OUT I NO LONGER HAD THE B TO B WARRANTY THEY STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $500. I CALLED AND LEFT A MSG FOR THE GM AND I GOT A CALL BACK FROM THE SALES MANAGER WANTING ME TO TRADED MY CAR IN. I STATED TO HIM I THOUGHT HE WAS CALLING ABOUT THE BRAKE. HE STATED TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WILL PUT IT ON THE LIFT WHILE I TALK TO SALES. THE REP CAME BACK AND STATED DO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BRAKE DOES NOT WORK. MADE AN APPT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR AND THEY ORDERED A PART FOR MY CAR. I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR BACK TO BE LOOKED AT BILL DODGE AND THEY STATED THAT MY BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING AND THAT MY CALIPERS WHERE STICKING. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN AND THEY STATED I NEEDED ONE OF MY CALIPERS CHANGED. I STATED I JUST CHANGED ONE THIS SUMMER MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT ONE. I PICKED UP MY CAR AND TOOK MY CAR TO MY FRIEND IN NH. HIS MECHANIC AGAIN STATED THAT MY BRAKE WAS NOT FIXED AND THAT THE E-BRAKE IS CAUSING THE CALIPERS TO STICK. I GOT MY CAR BACK AND A WEEK LATER (03/01/2019) I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE A CAR HIT MY DRIVER'S DOOR DOING ABOUT 35+. MY AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF. I HAVE 4 AIRBAGS AND NOT ONE WENT OFF. OTHER CARS DID.

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FUNCTION ON THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS ON THE MANUAL VERSION OF THE 2013 DODGE DART 1.4L MULTIAIR TURBO SEIZE OVER TIME. IT HAPPENED FIRST WITH MY BACK RIGHT REAR CALIPER. I WAS DRIVING AFTER HAVING PARKED USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE CAR WAS PULLING HARD TO THE RIGHT AND WAS RESISTING ACCELERATION. I PULLED OVER TO FIND MY BACK RIGHT WHEEL SMOKING AND THE ROTOR RED HOT. THE EVENT WAS DANGEROUS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL AUTOSHOP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS GALVANIC CORROSION ON A SPRING THAT WAS INTENDED TO RELEASE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN DISENGAGED. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WASNT THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY HAD SEEN THIS ON THIS MODEL OF CAR, AND THAT I SHOULD EXPECT FOR IT TO HAPPEN ON THE OPPOSITE ASSEMBLY AS WELL. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE BOTH AT THE TIME, SO I ONLY REPLACED THE DAMAGED CALIPER, ROTOR, AND PADS. SLIGHTLY OVER ONE YEAR LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE OTHER ASSEMBLY. I ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT MYSELF. TO MY SURPRISE, UPON GETTING UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND COMPARING THE TWO BRAKE ASSEMBLIES, THE ASSEMBLY THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED WAS VISIBLY DIFFERENT. THERE APPEARS TO BE A COATING ON THE RELEASE SPRING. TO ME, THIS SIGNIFIES THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS MADE A REVISION, HOWEVER THERE IS NOT A RECALL IN PLACE. CONSIDERING THE IMPORTANCE OF BRAKES AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO MANUAL VEHICLES, I CONSIDER THIS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR RECALLS AND NOT FOUND ANY, AND I HAVE REACHED OUT TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT WITHOUT A RECALL, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

BRAKE-BOOSTER VACUUM-TUBE IS LETTING OIL HIT MY BRAKES AND WHEN I STOP THE CAR IT SMOKES AND A REALLY BAD SMELL IS SUCKED IN BY THE A/C INTO THE CABIN AREA. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO NOT LETTING MY CAR STOP IN A SHORT DISTANCE ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS WORD FOR WORD ON THE FCA WEDSITE ABOUT THE PROBLEM "BRAKE-BOOSTER VACUUM-TUBE ROUTING MAY INADVERTENTLY ALLOW OIL TO REACH THE BRAKE-BOOSTER DIAPHRAGM IN THE EVENT THAT THE VACUUM-PUMP CHECK VALVE FAILS; OIL MAY DEGRADE THE DIAPHRAGM AND LEAD TO A LOSS OF BRAKE ASSIST, LENGTHENING STOPPING DISTANCES AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." I HAVE GONE TO EVERY DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA AND BECAUSE MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST I CAN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. MY FEAR IS ONE DAY I MAY BRAKE AND THE CAR GOES UP IN FLAMES..

BRAKE BOOSTER VACCUM PUMP IS LEAKING OIL, CAUSING CAR TO SMOKE AND HAVE A BURNING SMELL. IT WAS RECALLED ON OTHER MODELS OF THE DODGE DART BUT NOT THIS ONE, AND IT'S HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN TURNING, PARKING, OR BRAKING.

THE CLUTCH STAYS STUCK TO THE FLOOR, THEN PRESSURES UP AT TIMES .I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE.

TAKATA RECALL THIS CAR IS GARBAGE ! DODGE SHOULDN'T MAKE THIS MODEL ANYMORE. I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS TWO YEARS IN OF HAVING THIS CAR. I HAD TO START CHANGING TIRES SO MANY TIME. AIR ALWAYS GOES DOWN, TIRES KEEP GETTING THOSE AIR BALLS. (NO I DON'T PARK CLOSE TO THE SIDEWALK OR HIT THE SIDEWALK) MY STEERING WHEEL ALWAYS CRACKS EVERYTIME I TURN IT. MY WHOLE CAR SHAKES ! I PRESS THE BRAKES AND IT GOES CRAZY. MY ENGINE MESSED UP TOO (IT HAD WATER INSIDE) I HAD TO FIX SOME HEATING HOSE ! MY WINDOW BUTTON STUGGLES TO GO UP ?I HAD TO CHANGE MY BATTERY THREE TIME ! KEEP IN MIND I GOT THIS CAR NEW. ZERO EVERYTHING ! FOR 6 YEARS ! I'VE PUT SO MUCH MONEY ON A CAR I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED PAYING ! A CAR NEEDS THING TO GET FIXED BUT NOT LIKE THIS! JUST ISN'T NORMAL. GARAGE OF A CAR! DODGE DART SXT 2013 ! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME ON THIS CAR. SAVE YOURSELF.

I NEVER KNEW THE CAR HAD A RECALL I ONLY HAD THE CAR A MONTH

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.

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. AT ONE POINT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALMOST ALL POWER WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO I-95 IN WASHINGTON DC, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT TOOK 4 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE RECREATED AND EVENTUALLY FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE STOPPED WORKING AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES BUT I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE AFFECTED BY THE CALIPER RECALL. PAID FOR CALIPER REPLACEMENT OUT OF POCKET. LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, BUT DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME THEY "CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE".

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.

PARKING BRAKE (EMERGENCY BRAKE) CALIPER FAILURE REAR RIGHT. 33,062 MILES. WITHIN LAST WEEK OR SO HANDLE IS MUCH EASIER TO PULL UP. NOW, WHEN ENGAGED YOU FEEL LEFT SIDE OF CAR GOES UP AND RIGHT DOES NOT (LOPSIDED). YESTERDAY, I WAS DRIVING ON A LEVEL STREET AND LOUD CLUNKING NOISE CAME FROM RIGHT REAR WHEEL AREA. CALLED CHRYSLER DODGE HOTLINE TODAY AND TOLD IT WAS NOT IN THE BRAKE CALIPER RECALL. I MADE PRIOR COMPLAINTS TO DEALER THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD POP OUT AND ROLL AND IT WAS DISMISSED THAT I WAS NOT PULLING UP BRAKE PROPERLY, BUT I WAS. CHYSLER SAW THERE WERE ONLY A FEW COMPLAINTS (46) REGARDING THE BRAKE CALIPERS FOR MY VIN SO IT IS NOT IN A RECALL.

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.

BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A ATOP SIGN, MY BRAKES COMPLETELY GAVE OUT. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT GOING AT A HIGH SPEED, WHERE I WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO STOP AND PARK MY VEHICLE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP. THEY INFORMED ME MY BRAKE BOOSTERS GAVE OUT. ABOUT A YEAR AFTER THAT, I WAS MAILED A NATION WIDE BRAKE BOOSTERS RECALL ON 2013 DODGE DARTS. WHEN I SENT IN MY RECAL FORM, IT WAS RETURNED TO SENDER. I HAVE YET TO GRT MY REFUND FOR THIS DANGEROUS RECALL THAT WAS BEYOND MY CONTROL.

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE A RECALL FIXED ON MY CAR. WHEN I GOT MY CSR BACK I LOOKED OVER THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND LINES AND THE ONLY THING THAT WAS CHANGED WAS THE SUPPLY HOSE. AFTER OIL HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY FOUND. YOU CAN SEE THE OIL STILL SOAKED IN PLACES. THE TECH PUT ON THE INVOICE THAT SHE CHANGED THE BOOSTER BUT YET THE BOOSTER WAS UNTOUCHED WITH FACTORY PAINT MARKS STILL IN TACKED. I LEFT MY CAR THERE AND WENT IN THE NEXT DAY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND THEY TRIED SAYING IT WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING. I DONT SEE HOW SAYING YOU CHANGED A PART WHEN YOU DIDN'T IS A MISUNDERSTANDING. MI WAS COMPENSATED A FREE DETAIL THAT NEVER EXPIRES IN ORDER FOR MY BOYFRIEND TO TAKE DOWN HIS BAD REVIEW. SO THEY KEEP THE CSR ANOTHER NIGHT AND WHEN I GO TO PICK UP MY CAR I WANTED TO CHECK IT ALONG WITH A MECHANIC FROM A DIFFERENT BUSINESS. AT THIS TIME MY HOOD WILL NOT CLOSE DUE TO A BENT OR SNAPPED HOOD CABLE. THE TECH DID NOT DROP THE TRANSMISSION AND FORCED THE BOOSFER IN AND BOUND UP MY HOOD CABLE IN THE PROCESS. THE PUMP AND MASTER CYLINDER HACE STILL YET TO BE REPLACED AS THE R63 RECALL REQUIRES IF ENGINE OIL IS FOUND. WHAT MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE AMD LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO PKAY WITH MY LIFE AND SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS THEY NEVER TESTED THE PARTS AFTER THEY INSTALLED THEM. THEY LIED ON BOTH INVOICES. EACH ONE SAYS THE CAR CAME IN AT 77491 MILES AND LEFT AT 77493 MILES AND I NEVERDROVE TGE CAR OFF THE LOT OR IN BECAUSE I DIDNT KNOW IF THE BRAKES WORKED. HOW CAN A CAR HAVE THE SAME MILES ON 2 DIFFERENT MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENTS IF THE PARTS WERE TESTED AFTER INSTALLATION? MY ODOMETER READ 77491. SAME AS WHEN I FIRST DROPED IT OFF ALMOST A WEEK AGO. SO EITHER THEY TURNED BACK A DIGITAL ODOMETER OR THEY NEVER TESTED THE PARTS THEY FORCED IN. I DONT KNOW IF THEY DAMAGED ANYTHING ELSE BY FORCING THE BOOSTE BUT I DOMT LIKE THE IDEA OF OTHERS PUTTING MY LIFR IN DANGER.

PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE NOR DISENGAGE.

THE BATTERY HAS TO BE REPLACED EVERY YEAR. THE BRAKES ARE HARD AND HAS A VACUUM LEAK NOISE . THE RADIO, CD, BLUETOOTH DOES NOT WORK. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK ALL THE TIME AND WHEN IT DOES IT WILL STICK ON. THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT WORK ALL THE TIME. THE FRONT 12V DC DOES NOT WORK. DODGE WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS GONE, BUT THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2012. IS THERE SOME WAY I CAN GET DODGE TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY. THERE IS A LOT OF DODGE DART OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AND DODGE WON'T RECALL OR FIX THE PROBLEMS.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE MY VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON STREET OR HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE BEGINS TO JERK. ALSO WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR HAVING TO USE MY BRAKES BEFORE MAKING OR COMING TO A TURN I HAVE TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP OR TO SLOW DOWN, WHEN DOING THAT MY CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE.

A FEW THINGS HAS BEEN OCCURRING REGARDING MY CAR. THE FIRST THING IS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES AND WHEN I GOT IT CHECKED, THE CAR WOULDN'T START RIGHT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED, HOWEVER, THEY REPORTED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE SECOND THING AND MOST SCARIEST IS MY BRAKES. MY BRAKES ARE TOTALLY MESSED UP AS THEY CONSTANTLY LOCK AND IT'S HARD TO PRESS ON THE BREAKS. THEREFORE I DO NOT DRIVE LONG DISTANCES BECAUSE I AM AFRAID I WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO GET DIAGNOSED AND THEY TOLD ME THE MY BRAKES AND ROTARS ARE SEVERELY DAMAGED AND INFACT IT WON'T PASS THE SAFETY CHECK IN THE STATE OF NY.

AFTER THE RECALL ON MY CAR WAS FIXED 3 WEEKS LATER I LOST POWER TO MY BREAKS. THE BREAKS MADE AN AIR HISSING NOISE, THE PEDAL POPPED UP AND WOULDN'T DEPRESS MORE THAN 1/2 INCH. I HAD TO USE THE E-BRAKE TO GET THE CAR STOPPED FROM A LOW SPEED.

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.

JANUARY 15, 2017 I PARKED MY DODGE DART IN THE PARKING LOT. UPON MY DEPARTURE I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION AND DRIVE AROUND THE BEND TO PICK UP PASSENGERS. ONCE I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP MY ENGINE SHUT OFF, ALL SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON (MIRROR WARNING LIGHTS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, DASHBOARD SHIFT INDICATOR STUCK ON "DRIVE" RATHER THAN "PARKED") AND NO POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN 'PARK' BUT CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I WAS IN A FULL PARKING LOT AT THE BEACH ON A HOLIDAY. MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHERE LINED UP BEHIND MY CAR TO PARK/ PICK UP THEIR PASSENGERS. HAD I NOT HAVE TO PICK UP PASSENGERS I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP ON A HILL (THE FIRST TURN OUT OF THE PARKING LOT IS A FAIRLY STEEP INCLINE) MOST LIKELY CAUSING A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS THE POWER TRAIN/ SHIFTER CABLES. I HAVE NOT FELT SAFE IN THIS CAR SINCE IVE BOUGHT. NOR HAS IT BEEN RELIABLE. BROUGHT BRAND NEW AND I HAVE BEEN TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR RECALLS/ CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AND OIL CHANGES.

AT PRESENT, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. ANXIETY IS GROWING THOUGH THAT SOMETHING ILL-FATED MIGHT. A RECALL WAS ISSUED JANUARY '16. TO DATE, SEPTEMBER '16, NO FIX, SOLUTION, OR REMEDY HAS BEEN FOUND OR OFFERED BY EITHER CHRYSLER OR THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR IS ROUTINELY SERVICED.

PARKING BRAKE HAS BEEN INOPERABLE IN LIEU OF GALVANIC CORROSION ON THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER. THE STEEL SPRING LOCATED AT THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS WHICH REGULATES THE OPERATION OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE OR PARKING BRAKE HAS SEIZED WITH ITS ROTATING ARMATURE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING OVER A YEAR AGO AND AS OF TWO MONTHS AGO HAS COMPLETELY SEIZED. I FIRST CHANGED THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS IN HOPES THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM HOWEVER, IT ONLY CAUSED THE REAR EMERGENCY BRAKE CALIPER TO NOT RELEASE WHILE DRIVING. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COMPLETELY RELEASE ALL OF THE PARKING BRAKE TENSION THROUGH THE HANDLE ADJUSTMENT BOLT. THEN I HAD PHYSICALLY PUSH AND PULL THE VEHICLE BACK AND FORTH AT WHICH POINT THE REAR BRAKE PADS SLOWLY RELEASED. I COULD NOT GET THE BRAKES TO RE-ENGAGE AFTER, AND HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THE SPRING ASSEMBLY IS SEIZED ON THE REAR CALIPERS FOR THE PARKING BRAKE.

THE BRAKES IS FAILING TO WORK WHILE MY CAR IS IN MOTION. THESE HAPPENS MOST NOTICEABLY WHEN I'M DRIVING IN A SLOWER PACE, LIKE IN A TRAFFIC JAM OR WHEN I NEED TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP AFTER DRIVING IN A NORMAL SPEED, BECAUSE OF A TRAFFIC AHEAD OR ANYTHING ELSE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN PRESSED (WHICH ALSO MAKES A SOUND LIKE A SMALL AIR BRAKE) GOES WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR THAT AN IMMEDIATE ADDITIONAL PUMPS ON THE PEDAL IS NEEDED TO MAKE THE BRAKES WORK. THIS BRAKE ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL SHOULD BE AVAILABLE ASAP BEFORE MANY PEOPLE GET INJURED OR KILLED BY THESE SAFETY ISSUE.

ON MY WAY HOME FROM MY 40,000 MILE CHECK-UP, INCLUDING OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATION, AND FULL VEHICLE INSPECTION, I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, BRAKE PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE PEDAL POPPED BACK UP (WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON IT), THERE WAS A LOUD HISSING SOUND, AND I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO ROLL INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR AND RESTART MY SYSTEM BUT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. I WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COMPANY HAS NO SOLUTION TO THIS RECALL PROBLEM YET SO I WAS GIVEN A RENTAL INDEFINITELY.

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.

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.

ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO, THE BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE GOING DOWN A HILL ON THE WAY TO WORK. THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND SOME OTHER PART RELATED TO THAT. THE BRAKES HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY SINCE IT WAS FIXED, BUT THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS THAT THEY ARE FINE. I LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEY COULD NOT GET THE BRAKES TO FAIL. ON 1/15/16 WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, THE BRAKES GAVE WAY AGAIN. I BACKED UP AND DROVE IN AGAIN, AND THEY DID IT REPEATEDLY. IT WAS LIKE THEY COULDN'T CATCH OR SOMETHING, YOU COULD FEEL THE JERK OF THE BRAKES AS I TRIED TO APPLY THEM. WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUN-AROUND FOR ALMOST A YEAR, AND WERE TOLD THAT THE BRAKES WERE FIXED AND FINE. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER SAYING THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM, YET THEY REFUSE TO LET US PAST THE ENTRY LEVEL PEOPLE OPERATING THE PHONE. I AM IN DANGER EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR. WE HAVE GOTTEN NO WHERE IN THE PAST YEAR WITH CHRYSLER, AND HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY LIED TO ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE BRAKES. THE PROOF OF THOSE LIES IS IN THE RECALL WHICH CLEARLY SAYS THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AT THE PRESENT TIME. THAT MEANS THAT MY BRAKES COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME AND I CANNOT GO ABOUT MY NORMAL LIFE IN A PANIC ABOUT DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK, OR THE GROCERY STORE, OR HAVE ANYONE IN THE CAR WITH ME, BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS PREPARING FOR AN INEVITABLE CRASH. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO LIVE THIS WAY, AND THEY HAVE KNOWN ALL ALONG THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO MAKE IT RIGHT, BUT HAVE DONE EVERYTHING TO PRETEND IT DID NOT EXIST. I SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO CONTINUE PAYING FOR A CAR THAT WILL ONE DAY RESULT IN MY DEATH OR INJURY. THIS CAR SHOULD BE BOUGHT BACK FROM ME IF THERE IS ANY FAIRNESS AT ALL, OTHERWISE I HAVE PAID ON TIME FOR TWO YEARS ON A CAR THAT IS FAULTY AND DANGEROUS. THIS PUTS ME AT A DISADVANTAGE WHEN GOING TO BUY A NEW CAR WITH NO TRADE IN.

HUSBAND WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE THE STORE, APPLIED THE BRAKE TO REVERSE WAS A LOUD POP AND HISSING NOISE, BRAKES BARELY WORKED AT 10 MPH. I'VE HAD THIS CAR 2 YEARS BRAND NEW, NO ISSUES WHAT SO EVER, NOW THIS. APPREARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE AS EVERYONE ELSE. WILL NEED IT TOWED TO THE DEALER, EARLIST APPOINTMENT IS 12/14/2015. I HAVE NOT HIT 20,000 MILES ON THIS CAR YET. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!

ARRIVED HOME ON 12/5/2015, WE LIVE ON AN INCLINE SO WE HAVE TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO PARK. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE IT WAS A LITTLE WEAK FEELING. WE DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL THE MORNING OF 12/7/2015. WE WERE LEAVING FOR WORK, APPLIED THE BRAKE, PUT IN REVERSE AND RELEASED THE PARKING BRAKE. WHEN I RELEASED IT, IT JUST FELL LIKE THERE WAS NOTHING THERE... LIKE THE PARKING BRAKE WAS JUST A HANDLE NOT ATTACHED TO ANYTHING. SO, I STARTED TO BACK UP AND WITH THE PARKING BRAKE COMPLETELY OFF, THE REAR BRAKES WERE STILL LOCKED UP. I PULLED FORWARD AND BACKWARD TO TRY AND HELP FREE THE BRAKES. APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE AGAIN AND IT HAD NOTHING THERE. SINCE THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE WE HAVE, WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT AND IT EVENTUALLY FREED UP, BUT STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN APPLYING THE REGULAR BRAKES TO STOP, THE REAR END FELT LIKE IT HAD TO MUCH BRAKES. I COULD ALSO LET OFF THE GAS AND FEEL THE CAR COMING TO A STOP LIKE A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF BRAKING WAS BEING APPLIED. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT.

NO ONE WAS ABLE TO INFORM ME WHAT CAUSED IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE PRIOR TO, NO ACCIDENTS AND I AM CONSISTENT WITH SERVICE. IT IS CLEAR THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND A RECALL IS IN ORDER. I DO UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST OR ONLY COMPLAINT FOR THE VERY SAME ISSUE. THIS COULD RESULT IN DEATH.

IT ACTUALLY TOOK OVER 6 WEEKS TO REPAIR THE CAR, AS PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. HIS CAR ALSO SHOWS THAT IT IS NOT IN THE SYSTEM WHEN I INPUT THE VIN NUMBER. I'M HOPING I DIDN'T MISS ANY RECALLS BECAUSE OF THIS. ORIGINALLY WHEN HE BOUGHT THE CAR, THE VIN NUMBER WAS WRONG ON HIS REGISTRATION. HE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF STOPPING THE VEHICLE WHEN I RAN INTO THE BACK OF IT. HE WAS ON A HIGHWAY AT THE TIME. IT CAUSED $8,847.31 DAMAGE TO HIS CAR.

AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH THERE ARE ANOTHER THOUSAND PEOPLE SAYING AFTER IT WAS FIXED IT HAPPENED AGAIN.

I WOULD LIKE A REPLY TO THIS AND FOR YOU TO TELL ME HOW YOU ARE GOING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MY LAWYER SAID THAT YALL ARE LUCKY THAT MY PREGNANT WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE NOT INJURED OR ELSE A LAWSUIT WOULD HAVE INSUED, BUT A LAWSUIT WOULD NOT HAVE BROUGHT MY FAMILY BACK FROM AN ACCIDENT THAT YOUR CAR CLEARLY HAS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR.

AFTER STARTED VEHICLE AGAIN, BREAKS WERE VERY STIFF AND WHOOSHING SOUND CAME EVERY TIME I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED TO DRIVE, IT STARTED ROLLING. I HAD TO PUSH THE BREAK PEDAL HARDER TO MAKE THE VEHICLE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, ALL THE WHILE THE PEDAL WAS VERY STIFF. I DROVE TO WORK THAT MORNING AND MADE IT BACK TO KID'S SCHOOL WITHOUT ANY ISSUES OR SIGNS THAT BREAK SYSTEM MIGHT HAVE PROBLEMS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DANGEROUS ISSUE AS THERE ARE NO EARLY WARNING SIGNS.

PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND AS I CAME TO A STOP A POPPING NOISE CAME FROM UNDER THE DASH. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY FIRM, AS IF THE ENGINE WERE OFF, AND I CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD AND BUMPED THE SIDEWALK. MINOR DAMAGE, JUST SCRATCHES ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BUMPER. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE CAR HOME, AND CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. AFTER A FEW SEARCHES, IT SEEMED THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS TO BLAME. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IF THERE WAS MOTOR OIL IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER, IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER, VACUUM PUMP, VACUUM LINES, AND MASTER CYLINDER. AT 43,000 MILES. I UNDERSTAND THINGS BREAK. BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM IF THEY ALREADY KNOW THE OTHER PARTS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH IT. IT ALSO SEEMS A LITTLE EARLY FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER TO CRAP THE BED.

MY 2013 DODGE DART SXT HAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED ISSUES WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE BRAKES SUDDENLY POPPED, FOLLOWED BY A HISSING NOISE AND THE PEDAL THEN BECAME VERY STIFF TO PUSH. WHEN PUSHED HARD ENOUGH I WAS ABLE TO STOP BUT IT TOOK SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER IN ORDER TO STOP. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, TRAVELING AT 65 MPH THIS ISSUE MAY HAVE BEEN MORE SERIOUS. BUT LUCKY FOR ME, I WAS ONLY GOING 45 MPH. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I BOUGHT IT FROM. THEY LOOKED IT OVER AND TOLD ME THE BRAKE BOOSTER, PUMP, PUMP LINE AND MASTER CYLINDER ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER FOR THE ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED, RESULTING IN AN ESTIMATED COST OF $1200. AFTER HEARING THE COST OF THIS REPAIR, I WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE A LITTLE MORE. ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR MY PARTICULAR MODEL OF CAR BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED YET. SO I AM PROVIDING YOU WITH THIS INFORMATION WITH HOPE THAT IT WILL HELP WITH THE INVESTIGATION PROCESS.

PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPACE, THE BRAKES LET OUT A HISSING NOISE. IT WAS VERY HARD TO PRESS DOWN AND WHEN FULLY PRESSED DOWN THE BRAKES WERE NOT RESPONDING WELL AT ALL.

BRAKE POWER ASSIST FAILURE. I HEARD A POP AND THEN THE BRAKES STARTED PUSHING BACK AT ME AND MAKING A HISSING NOISE. I ALMOST DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO STOP AND THE GUY BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME.

WHEN SON ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE PARKING LOT, THERE WAS A MEDIUM "CHUNK" NOISE AND THE BRAKES DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK AT ALL UNTIL HE STOMPED REALLY HARD ON THE PEDAL. HE DROVE HIS 8 MILES HOME SLOWLY, GIVING LOTS OF BRAKING ROOM AS EVERY TIME HE HIT THE BRAKES A HISSING NOISE AND VERY LITTLE BRAKE RESPONSE WAS GIVEN EVEN WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE AS HARD AS HE COULD. WHEN MY HUSBAND DROVE IT INTO THE SHOP, HE SAID IT WAS LIKE THERE WERE NO LONGER POWER STEERING BRAKES. THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED, UNDER WARRANTY STILL, AND SINCE MY SON STEPPED SO HARD ON THE BRAKE, HE ACTUALLY BROKE THE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY AS WELL, WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO STAY ON ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. ALL THAT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, TOO.

I HAD TO USE ALMOST ALL MY LEG STRENGTH TO STOP THE CAR (TO BRAKE) BEFORE THE RED LIGHT. VERY WORRIED WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I DRIVE THROUGH AND USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PARK IN YHE PARKING LOT. I REPAIRED IT MYSELF AFTER WAITING ON THE PART THAT WAS ON BACK ORDER FOR 3 WEEKS. I FIXED IT PROPERLY AND 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. 7/30/15 I BELIEVE IT COULD NOW BE THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO MY BOOSTER.

AT THAT TIME I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH IS COSTING ME $800 OUT OF POCKET AND IT MAY NEED MORE AFTER THAT THEY WONT KNOW UNTIL THEY REPLACE THAT FIRST. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BRAKES IS COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN EVEN THOUGH THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION.

LUCKY I WAS IN A RURAL AREA AT THE TIME WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. SO I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME THAT NIGHT. WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT TO DEALER AND WILL HAVE IT TOWED IN.

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.

WOULD I NEED TO PAY AN ASTRONOMICAL COST TO GET TOWED BACK HOME? WHAT WILL DODGE DO ABOUT THIS? ?ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IS NOT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, IT?S TOWING ASSISTANCE. WE ONLY GOT HELP GETTING A TOW. WE WERE COMPLETELY ON OUR OWN TO FIND TRANSPORTATION. ?WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF WE WERE ON THE EXPRESSWAY? WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED HAD WE RAN INTO THE PICKUP TRUCK WITH IT'S TRUCK BED AT HEAD LEVEL? ONCE FIXED IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. *TR

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. STARTS WITH A LIGHT SOUND MUCH LIKE A PRESSURIZED SYSTEM RELEASING PRESSURE, THEN PROGRESSES INTO SOUNDING LIKE AN AIR BRAKE SYSTEM ON A TRUCK AT WHICH POINT THE BRAKES FAIL AND WILL NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. I'VE READ DOZENS OF REPORTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE. REPORTED TO BE A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER, POSSIBLY MASTER CYLINDER. I'VE ALSO REPORTED THIS TO DODGE AT THE EARLY STAGES WHEN IT WAS JUST A LIGHT SOUND, AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. BUT FROM SIMILAR REPORTS, THIS IS NOT NORMAL. *TR

A FEW SHORT WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE 2013 DODGE DART RALLYE 1.4L TURBO; THE BLUETOOTH FAILED TO STAY CONNECTED. TOOK IT TO GET SERVICED AT LEAST THREE TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IN ADDITION, JUST RECENTLY (2014) THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS FAILED TO WORK WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE; NOT ALL OF THE TIME BUT SOMETIMES. ALSO RECENTLY NOTICED, THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL FAILS TO WORK ALL OF THE TIME. NOT UNTIL YOU STOP AND RESTART THE VEHICLE DOES THE CRUISE CONTROL "DECIDE" TO WORK ONCE AGAIN. EVEN SO, IN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OBTAINING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED CHIP MARKS ON THE FRONT BUMPER. AS 2014 HAS APPROACHED, THERE ARE ABOUT A COUPLE HUNDRED CHIP MARKS ON THE FRONT BUMPER BUT THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN AREAS TO CAUSE THIS MUCH DAMAGE. THE DODGE DART RALLYE'S WERE SUPPOSED TO CONTAIN CHIP GUARD WHICH DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AS TO WHY THE FRONT BUMPER PAINT HAS CHIPPED OFF SO BADLY!!! *TR

I HAVE HAD QUITE AN EXPERIENCE WITH MY DODGE DART. IT IS IN THE SHOP THIS WEEK. I HAD COMPLAINED FIRST ABOUT THE HESITATING WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE CAR AND IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO GIVE OUT AND A TINY BACK FIRE. I HAVE THE COMPUTER NAVIGATION ON THE DASH AND IT BEGAN TO FLICKER AND MY MILEAGE STARTED TO FLASH. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON FOR NO REASON AND THE NAVIGATION BEGAN TO FAIL. I HAD PARKED MY DART IN THE DRIVEWAY AND IT HAD ROLLED OUT INTO THE STREET AND A COUNTY WORKER KNOCKED ON THE DOOR TO TELL ME I WAS BLOCKING ACCESS TO THE DRIVERS. I WENT TO MOVE MY CAR AND THE CLUTCH WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR OF MY CAR. I COULD NOT GET IT IN OR OUT OF GEAR. SO FAR CHRYSLER HAS REPLACED THE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER PART, THE PART FOR THE CLUTCH. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION. LAST MY DOOR IS DARKER THEN THE REST OF THE CAR AND THEY ARE HAVING IT PAINTED. *TR

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES.CAR DEALERSHIP SAID ROTORS WERE RUSTED AND PITTED ON ALL FOUR WHEELS AND WANTED 320 DOLLARS TO TURN THE ROTORS. I REFUSED THIS OPTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE THE CAR SAT STILL TOO LONG. THIS IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE THIS CAR IS USED DAILY. IT IS OBVIOUS THERE ARE NO BRAKES ON THE BACK WHEELS BY OBSERVING THE ROTORS WITH THE NAKED EYE. ANY ROTOR WITH WORKING BRAKES WILL NOT HAVE RUST ACCUMULATE ON IT. SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK THIS OUT TO SEE IF THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL DODGE DARTS OR JUST MY CAR.. I WILL AWAIT YOUR REPLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS SAFTEY ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKES, THEY TRAVEL TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT BRAKES ACTIVATING OR THE ABS SYSTEM. IT TAKES PUMPING THE BRAKES A SECOND TIME BEFORE THE BRAKES FINALLY ACTIVATE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD MY CAR INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTH AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH THE PROBLEM IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO SHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR, APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE CONTACT CONSTANTLY HEARD A SCREECHING NOISE UPON APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO INCREASE THE RPMS ON A FREQUENT BASIS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2000.

WHILE BRAKING, THIS WINTER, MY ABS WOULD ACTIVATE CAUSING MY DASHBOARD AND RADIO TO GO BLANK. IT WAS ONLY UNTIL RECENTLY THAT I LEARNED THAT WHILE THE SCREENS ARE BLANK AND REBOOTING MY CARS POWER STEERING SYSTEM IS ALSO INACTIVE. AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS AT FIXING THIS ISSUE ALL THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME IT THAT IT IS A GROUNDING ISSUE. *TR

I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND HEARD A POP. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED ROLLING FORWARD WHILE THE LIGHT WAS STILL RED! FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS COMING AND I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE LIGHT WITHOUT GETTING HIT. WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES THERE WAS AN INTENSE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE FROM THE PEDAL WITH THE SOUND OF AIR BLOWING OUT FROM THE PEDAL. I PARKED THE CAR THINKING IT JUST NEEDED A RESET, BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK. ON MONDAY MORNING I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. FORTUNATELY THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF 2013 DARTS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. *TR

I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2013 DODGE DART SXT RALLY WITH 2.0 ENGINE. I PUT ABOUT 3500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND BEGAN TO NOTICE A WHOOSH OF AIR NOISE WHEN DEPRESSING MY BRAKE PEDAL. A COUPLE DAYS WENT BY AND THE WHOOSHING NOISE BEGAN TO GET WORSE I ALSO BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF BRAKES WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD I NOTICED THE BRAKES BEGAN TO FADE QUICKLY RESULTING IN THE PEDAL BECOMING SUPER STIFF AND HAVING NO BRAKE PRESSURE ON THE PADS TO THE ROTORS. A COUPLE MORE DAYS WENT BY AND I COMPLETELY LOST BRAKES IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN ME HAVING TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DODGE DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED, A SERVICE TECH TEST DROVE THE CAR AND ALMOST CRASHED IT. HE EXPLAINED THE CAR HAS NO BRAKES AND HE'D HAVE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. THEY CAME BACK AND SAID TO ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE POWER BOOSTER AND POSSIBLY THE MASTER CYLINDER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR NOW. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE AND PARKING BRAKE FAILURE ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR DODGE DARTS. I FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS BRAKE SITUATION. WHAT IS DODGE GOING TO DO, TO ENSURE THAT THESE POWER BOOSTERS/MASTER CYLINDERS DO NOT CONTINUE TO FAIL? *TR

1. CLUTCH STARTED TO LOSE RESISTANCE COUPLE TIMES A MONTH IN TWO LAST MONTHS. NOW ALMOST EVERY DAY AFTER LONG TIME NOT USING IT. IT FREELY GOING DOWN, SOMETIMES STUCK IN THE HALF WAY OUT AND HAVE TO BE PULLED UP. 2. BRAKES STARTED LOSE RESISTANCE RECENTLY ALSO AFTER LONG TIME NOT TO BE USED (1 OR MORE HOURS) SPECIALLY IN THE MORNING. IT FREELY GOING DOWN HALF WAY PRODUCING AIR BLOW SOUND. AFTER A FEW TIMES PUSHING PEDAL DOWN AIR BLOW STOPS AND RESISTANCE GETS OK. BEHIND OF BRAKE PEDAL IT FEELS SOME KING OF LIQUID. 3. ACCELERATION AT HIGH SPEED TAKES LONGER TIME THEN IT WAS BEFORE AND REQUIRES TO SWITCH TO LOWER GEAR. (TURBO PROBLEM?) 4. MPG DECREASED. ON THE SAME WAY TO AND BACK TO WORK USUALLY IT WAS 32-33 MPG. NOW IT GETS 28-29 TODAY BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER. AFTER A WHOLE DAY OF INSPECTION NOTHING WRONG WAS FOUND. *TR

WHEN I WAS COMING OFF OF A HIGHWAY I TRIED TO BRAKE AND MY BRAKE SOUNDED LIKE IT ACCUMULATED AIR AND THEN I HEARD A POP. THE BRAKE WENT STIFF AND I COULD NOT USE THE BRAKE. MY CAR KEPT ON GOING WITH 50MPH AND I COULD NOT USE MY BRAKE, LUCKILY ENOUGH I USED MY HAND BRAKE TO STOP MYSELF AND AVOID A CRUSH INTO A BUSY STREET. MY VEHICLE IS 8 MONTHS OLD, AND HAS 3500 MILES ON IT. THE OVERALL MAINTENANCE WAS DONE ON IT A MONTH AGO AND EVERYTHING WAS CHECKED AND WORKED CORRECTLY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES PER HOUR DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY DART SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. THE STEERING WHEEL ACTED AS IF THERE WAS NO KEY IN IT AND LOCKED UP. THE BREAKS SLOWLY APPLIED THEMSELVES, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL SO THAT I COULD MOVE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE WORKED WITH THE COMPANY AND THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WILL NOT DUPLICATE FOR ANY REASON. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH POWER OF THE VEHICLE EVERY MONTH SINCE JANUARY. WITHER IT BE NOT STARTING OR FAILING TO KEY LESS START. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME FOR COMPLETE POWER FAILURE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND WANTS ME TO DRIVE IT AROUND WITH A BLACK BOX IN IT. *TR

THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE & COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATALITY. WHO EVER OWNS THIS VEHICLE BE CAREFUL. ON 10/31/12 ABOUT 11:30AM MY GRANDMOTHER & I WERE HEADING OUT TO LUNCH. MY GRANDMA WANTED TO RIDE IN THE DART THAT I HAD BOUGHT ON 10/26/12. I ONLY PUT ABOUT 10 MILES ON THE DART & IT IS A MANUAL 6 SPEED. I LET MY GRANDMA INTO THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT, I STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ALREADY ENGAGED, BUT I DOUBLE CHECKED IT & RE-PULLED UP ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, I THEN PULLED UP ONE MORE TIME TO MAKE SURE IT WAS FULLY ENGAGED BECAUSE MY DRIVEWAY IS SLANTED. I THEN TURNED ON THE A/C SINCE IT WAS ABOUT 80 DEGREES OUT. I LEFT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPEN. I TOLD MY GRANDMA THAT I WAS GOING TO MOVE HER CAR SINCE IT WAS BLOCKING THE DRIVEWAY & PARKED IN THE STREET & THEN WE CAN GO TO LUNCH. I WALKED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY & MADE IT TO HER DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHEN I HEARD MY 76 YEAR OLD GRANDMOTHER SCREAMING I LOOKED UP & SAW MY DODGE DART ROLLING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AS IF NO E-BRAKE WAS ON AT ALL. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ON THE DART SMASHED INTO MY GRANDMA'S CAR THE DOOR ON THE DART THEN SMASHED INTO THE FRONT FENDER OF THE DART THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR RUBBED & DAMAGED THE REAR FENDER OF MY GRANDMOTHERS CAR. THE DART THEN CAME TO A STOP ABOUT A 1/3 WAY INTO THE STREET ABOUT 50FT FROM WHERE I HAD THE DART PARKED. I JUMPED INTO THE DART & CHECKED ON MY GRANDMOTHER SHE HAD NO SERIOUS INJURIES. I LOOK DOWN AT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE & THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS FULLY ENGAGED & IN THE SAME POSITION THAT I LEFT IT IN. THIS CAR DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY IT TOOK ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS BEFORE IT STARTED ROLLING. IT ACTED LIKE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED THEN JUST DISENGAGED & ROLLED AT A HIGH SPEED. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY & TO DODGE. DODGE IS SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO GIVE ME A COPY OF THE REPORT. *TR
