2012 Dodge Dart

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE WIPER BLADES ACTIVATED AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

I WAS DRIVING AND HAD MY WIPERS ON OF COURSE BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING AND IT STOPPED RAINING SO I WENT TO TURN THEM OFF BUT IT NEVER TURNED OFF. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE RIBBON INSIDE WAS BROKEN AND THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE OVER 500$ TO FIX IT. SO I LOOKED UP THE FUSE TO TAKE IT OUT SO IT WOULD TURN OFF BUT TURNS OUT THERE ISN'T ANY FUSE FOR IT. I'M LOOKING THROUGH THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE ACTUALLY A LOT OF PEOPLE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD FIX THIS AT NO COST. IT'S HAPPENING TO A GOOD CHUNK OF PEOPLE

IT WAS RAIN AND TURNED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON. WHEN I GOT HOME I WENT TO TURN THE WIPERS OFF THEY WOULD NOT STOP I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE WANT $800.00 TO REPLACE THE PART CAN BE FOUND ONLINE FOR WAY CHEAPER. THIS IS AN INSANE COST FOR A CAR WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL DONE ON THIS PROBLEM. DODGE HAD MADE A LEMON OF CAR. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH IT.

MY CAR IS CURRENTLY DRIVABLE HOWEVER I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT I NEED THE OIL PRESSURE MONITOR REPLACED ALONG WITH THE WIRING IN THE STEERING SYSTEM DUE TO OIL DAMAGE FROM THE OIL PRESSURE MONITOR BEING BROKEN. THE RADIO AND REAR VIEW CAMERA ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED. THESE ARE TOO MANY ISSUES FOR A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. APPARENTLY THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS CHANGES COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE BUT I'M CONTINUOUSLY BEING TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS DESPITE ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE THAT HAVE TO DEAL WITH MANUFACTURING ISSUES. THE RADIO STARTED MALFUNCTIONING OVER A YEAR AGO. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS/OIL PRESSURE SWITCH ISSUES HAVE ONLY BEEN HAPPENING APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS. THE REAR VIEW MIRROR STOPPED WORKING TODAY. THE CAR HAS ALSO HAS ISSUES STALL NO, NOT STARTING, AND CUTTING OFF WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIPERS FAILED TO TURN OFF, AND THE AUTOMATIC START FUNCTION FAILED TO WORK BECAUSE THE TURN SIGNALS AND HORN ACTIVATED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE THE FOB. THE DEALER (EASTGATE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, 500 SHADELAND AVE, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46219, (317) 352-9361) STATED THAT FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS REQUIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.
