TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN AT 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND BEGAN COASTING FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME. THE CONTACT THEN CALLED YAKLIN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1550 W KINGSBURY ST, SEGUIN, TX 78155, (830) 303-3005) AND WAS INFORMED THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST.

I HAVE BEEN FINANCING THIS CAR SINCE 2013,AND SO FAR IT'S BEEN ON THE RECALL LIST TWICE, HOWEVER THIS TIME IT'S BEEN LABELED DAMAGED GOODS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANIES AND GEICO RECENTLY TERMINATED MY POLICY AS A RESULT OF THIS, AND NO OTHER INSURANCE COMPANY IS WILLING TO TAKE A RISK AND INSURE THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, SO I'M STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE,THE FCA SENT ME ANOTHER LETTER TELLING ME THAT THERE'S ANOTHER DEFECTIVE ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND AS SOON AS THE PART COMES INTO STOCK THEY'LL LET ME KNOW SO I CAN TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THE ISSUE ADDRESSED,BUT BECAUSE MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS TERMINATED MY POLICY I CAN'T EVEN DRIVER THE CAR THERE,AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE ANYMORE BECAUSE IT HAS TOO MANY DEFECTS AND KEEP WINDING UP ON THE RECALL LIST, IT POSSIBLY FALLS UNDER THE LEMON LAWS AND I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO HAVE TO CONTINUE MAKING PAYMENTS ON A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE,SO I'M LOOKING FOR A LOGICAL RESOLUTION OUT OF CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY SAFETY,LIKE BEING ABLE TO TRADE IT IN FOR A SAFER CAR

THE SHIFTER CABLE KEEPS COMING OFF AND NO ONE CAN FIX IT YET. IT IS A SAFETY DEAL FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THERE IS A RECALL ON IT BUT WHEN I CALL DODGE CAR LOTS THEY SAY IT CAN'T BE FIXED CAUSE THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR IT. I HAVE ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE IT HAS CAME OFF NOT ONCE BUT SEVERAL TIMES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A SOLUTION FOR THIS CAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE

"TAKATA RECALL" ABOUT TWO YRS AGO MY LOST CONTROL AS I TRIED TO PUT IT IN REVERSE, IT APPEARED THAT THE SHIFTING CABLE CAME APART IN THE PARKING LOT OF A FAMILY DOLLAR IN MY HOME TOWN. AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS IN REVERSE , I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO STOP IT. HAD IT REPLACE BY A PERSONAL MECHANIC. WAS OUT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, BECAUSE HAS TO ORDER THE PART FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

CAR WILL NOT START. IT WILL TURN ON BUT NOT START THE CAR. BATTERY AND STARTER WERE REPLACED. MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE FUSE BOX WAS HOT, EVEN THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS COOL. HE FEELS THAT IT COULD BE THE COMPUTER OR FUSE BOX. THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES START. BUT, I HAVE BEEN STRANDED AND CANNOT RELY ON IT TO START. COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS DOES NOT COME UP WITH ANYTHING. REACHING OUT TO THE DODGE DART OWNERS COMMUNITY, THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM. SO FAR, NO ONE KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY ON COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS WHEN IT WON'T HELP.
