TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN JANUARY OF 2016 FOR A RECALL RELATED TO THE POWER TRAIN. THE REMEDY DID NOT RESOLVE THE FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND HAD TO BE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. TEN MINUTES LATER, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT THEN CAME TO A STOP AND SWITCHED GEAR TO DRIVE. THE CAR STAYED IN REVERSE YET THE SHIFTER WAS IN THE DRIVE POSITION. MOVED IT TO THE PARK POSITION AND NO CHANGE CAR WAS STILL READING AS REVERSE. LATER FIND OUT THAT THE CLIP HOLDING THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE TO THE LEVER HAD BROKE. AFTER APPLYING THE EBRAKE AND MANUALLY GOING UNDER THE HOOD TO SWITCH THE LEVER TO PARK OR NEUTRAL WAS THE CAR ABLE TO BE STOPPED AND TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. THE ONLY OFFER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WETHER IT IS THE PIECE CONNECTED TO THE LEVER OR THE ACTUALLY SHIFT IS TO GET A COMPLETELY NEW CABLE. THIS CABLE IS NOT PART OF THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY ALTHOUGH THE PRNDL POSITION SWITCH IS. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OTHER DODGE DART OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM OR PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (ONLY RECALLED IN 1.4L TURBOS). BOTH ARE SERIOUS PROBLEMS THAT AFFECT AND CAN HINDER THE DRIVABILITY OF THE CAR.
