2012 Dodge Dart

WENT TO START MY CAR IN THE MORNING PUSHED THE CLUTCH TO THE FLOOR AND IT DID NOT RETURN, JUST STAYED DEPRESSED AGAINST THE FLOORBOARD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. WELL ITS NOT! I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THE CLUTCH IS ONLY UNDER WARRANTY FOR 12000 MILES. MY PREVIOUS 3 CARS HAVE BEEN MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS AND ALL WENT WELL OVER 100000K WITHOUT ANY CLUTCH ISSUES. MY CAR NOW DOES THIS REGULARLY AT LEAST ONCE EVERY OTHER DAY. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN DODGE AND THOUGHT THEY WERE "FOCUSING ON QUALITY". THE LACK OF CONCERN BY DODGE REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS DOWNRIGHT DISGUSTING. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SHE STATED SHE WOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND CALL ME TOMORROW. NO CALL, NO E-MAIL. THEN THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO SEND ME A SURVEY ON HOW WAS MY ISSUE RESOLVED. IT WASN'T THAT'S WHY YOU GOT ALL 1'S. WHY DON'T YOU ACTUALLY STAND BY YOUR PRODUCT? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART EQUIPPED WITH KUHMO SOLUS KH25 TIRES, SIZE 225/45/R17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE EXHIBITED BUBBLES ON THE SIDE WALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND MILEAGE OF THE TIRE AND VEHICLE WAS 17,000. KMJ

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE GOES ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT EACH MONTH. I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER & THEY TRIED TELLING ME IT WAS BECAUSE I PROBABLY HAVE MY PURSE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. I DO NOT KEEP MY PURSE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON NO MATTER IF THERE IS A PASSENGER OR NOT. DEALER COULD NOT FIND A FIX FOR PROBLEM. WHO KNOWS IF MY AIRBAGS WILL EVEN WORK IF I HAPPEN TO GET INTO A CRASH. *TR

I WENT OUT IN THE MORNING TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THE GEAR STICK FELT STUCK AND I HAD TO HAVE MY HUSBAND COME OUT AND PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND ROLL THE CAR BACK SO WE COULD START IT IN FIRST. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ONE MONTH LATER, ONLY THE CAR WOULD NOT EVEN GO INTO FIRST GEAR. WE HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER AND WERE TOLD WE HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW CLUTCH-IT WAS BURNED OUT. BURNED OUT AT 18,000 MILES. WE PAID FOR A NEW CLUTCH, AND NOW 4MTHS LATER, THE CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING. PROBLEM GOING INTO REVERSE. DEALER CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT-I AM SCARED THE CLUTCH WILL BURN OUT AGAIN-NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS CAR WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO SHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR, APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE CONTACT CONSTANTLY HEARD A SCREECHING NOISE UPON APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO INCREASE THE RPMS ON A FREQUENT BASIS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STATIONARY, SMOKE EMITTED FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND "TRANSMISSION GETTING HOT" DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED. THE FUMES FROM THE SMOKE ALSO CAUSED THE CONTACT TO HAVE HEADACHES. THE CONTACT TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO, ALONG WITH THE MANUFACTURER, STATED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE WAS 1500.

THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING AND SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND THEN BEGAN TO SMOKE. I HAD TO STOP IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND GET IT TOWED. SINCE WE'VE PURCHASED THE CAR ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO, WE'VE BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP MONTHLY FOR ONE ISSUE OR ANOTHER (ELECTRICAL, PIECES FALLING APART, TIRE ISSUES, SPLASH GUARD ISSUES, ETC). IT IS A HORRIBLE CAR. NO ONE CARES WHEN YOU CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR
