THE HEAT BEGINS TO BE A PROBLEM ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING IT ON.

IT APPEARS THERE IS AN ALARMING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN I START THE CAR AT DEGREES LOWER THAN 40. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE BUT WHEN IT OCCURS I LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD RESULTING IN MY RPM'S TO JUMP HIGHER THAN NORMAL ACCOMPANIED BY VIBRATION AND RATALING COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OR TIRE (ITS HARD TO TELL) . FROM MY RESEARCH, THE COLD START ISSUE WAS A RECALL FOR 2013 DODGE DART BUT IT IS NOT SHOWING FOR MY VIN. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME REGUARDING THIS COMPLAINT??

VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE APPROVED FOR RECALL CONCERNING (MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH) WHICH IS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROLLER AS ITS COMMUNICATING CABLES ARE TOO FRAGILE TO WORK UNDER REGULAR TURNING SIGNAL USAGE AS CABLE WITHIN COMPONENT GETS PULLED BY IT'S OWN REGULAR MOTION AT USAGE. THIS CAUSES THE CABLES WITHIN THE SWITCH TO GET CUT AND BROKEN MAKING IT TO BREAK COMPLETELY. BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT BEING PRODUCED BY MOPAR THE PART IS NOT FOUND AS DODGE DEALERS MAKE YOU WAIT IN LINE NEXT TO 400 OTHER DODGE DRIVER OWNERS IN ORDER TO GET THE PART (WHEN THEY START PRODUCING THE PART) WHICH THERE HAS BEEN NO CONFIRMATION OF BEING PRODUCED BY MOPAR.
