2012 Dodge Dart

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL, FAN SPEED, AND TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATED INDEPENDENTLY.

MY RADIO WITH THE TOUCHSCREEN HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES I BELIEVE DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE-CONTINUED TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. THE VISOR FELL OFF, NOW THERE ARE NO INTERIOR LIGHTS. BRAKE RECALL REPAIR DONE, BUT NOW ENGINE LIGHT ON, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE IN REVERSE, ALL SYSTEM LIGHTS CAME ON LOOKING LIKE FAILURE. CAR WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, BUT WHEN PUTTING FOOT ON GAS IT WOULD HAVE NO EFFECT. NOW THE CAR DOES NOT START OR EVEN TURN OVER INCLUDING WHEN JUMP STARTED. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THE RADIO REPAIR AND BRAKE RECALL AND HAVE VIDEOS ON MY PHONE OF THE ACCELERATION WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE.

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.
