2012 Dodge Dart

WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR SOMETIMES I WILL PRESS THE GAS BUT IT WILL NOT GO IT ROLLS BACK...OFTEN WHEN THIS HAPPENS I'M IN TRAFFIC. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. THEY EVEN TOLD ME IT WAS DEALING WITH THE HILL ASSIST BUT I EXPLAINED TO THEM WHEN THIS HAPPENS I'M NOT ON A HILL. MY CHILDREN AND I HAVE ALMOST HAD NUMEROUS WRECKS. I RECENTLY RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER ABOUT THIS ISSUE (R42) BUT THE LETTER STATES THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AT THIS TIME AND THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE WRECKS BUT THEY WILL NOT DO A MANUFACTURE BUY BACK. ALSO MY HEAL/COOL AND GAS GAUGE SHAKES THE GAUGE WILL SOME FLUCTUATE UP AND DOWN, I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY IGNORED ME.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE FAST LANE, MY GAS PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND STEERING BECAME HARD TO TURN. WHEN THIS HAPPENED MOST OF MY CAR ENGINE LIGHTS WERE BLINKING AND WHEN I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK THE VEHICLE DIDN'T NOTICE IT WAS IN PARK. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE EMERGENCY SHOULDER. 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. THEY ALSO SHOWED ME AN INCORRECT NADA PRICE CHART FOR THE TRADE-IN VALUE TO MY CAR.

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! SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE (NOT AFTER) THIS "KNOWN" TRANSMISSION STALLING ISSUE CAUSES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND KILLS SOMEONE!

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE DODGE DART 12/23/2013 (428 MILES). ON 2/3/2014 STARTED VEHICLE TO HEAD TO WORK, PUT INTO GEAR (DRIVE) PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC, STARTED TO GO, THEN TRANSMISSION FLASHING ON DASH, STATING GEAR NOT FOUND. COULD NOT SHIFT THE VEHICLE, WOULDN'T MOVE. HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF TRAFFIC. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED NUMEROUS TIMES SAME ONGOING PROBLEMS TO THIS DATE 9/18/2015. LEMON LAW WAS CONTACTED.

I BOUGHT MY CAR ON MAY 6, 2013 AND I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO WHITTEN BROTHERS IN ASHLAND VIRGINIA FOR ALL THE SERVICE AND REPAIR WORK. ON JUNE 13, 2013 I HAD A RECALL DONE AND ALL OF THE REPAIRS STARTED.THE AIR BAG WIRING AND HARNESSES REPLACED IN JUNE 2013. THE TURBO HAS BEEN REPLACE 4 TIMES AS OF AUGUST 27, 2015. THE WASTE GATE ACTUATOR HAS BEEN REPLACE 3 TIMES. 08/12/14 THE VACUUM SENSOR SIGNAL REPLACED POWER BRAKE CHECK VALVE AND SADDER AND REPAIRED 2 WIRES GOING TO THE VACUUM SENSOR. TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE ON 09/11/15. ON 06/26/14 THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH WAS REPLACED BUT STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY BECAUSE THE CAR IS ALWAYS HAVING A PROBLEM WHICH WILL STOP IT FROM WORKING. ON 06/26/14 THE CONTROL PANEL WAS REPLACED. ON 02/18/15 PCM RADIO WIRING, RIGHT FRONT DOOR AND SUBWOOFER SPEAKERS REPLACED. ON 08/27/15 FRONT STRUTS AND BACK SHOCK ABSORBERS REPLACED. 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. SO THEREFORE, I ONLY WON $5,000.00 TO COVER THE ATTORNEY FEE OF $3,500.00 LEAVING ME $1,500.00. MY TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE WAS $21,671.00 AND THAT IS WHAT I AM FIGHTING FOR!

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

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.
