WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC WITH MY FAMILY THE CAR SUDDENLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND WILL NOT COME OUT OF NEUTRAL I READ ON THE INTERNET THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND IT EXPLAINS WITH THE EXPLANATION GIVEN FOR THE PROBLEM THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR BUT WHEN I CALLED DODGE/CHRYSLER MY VIN WAS NOT ON THE RECALL BUT I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER I WAS ONLY 20 YARDS FROM THE RAILROAD TRACKS LUCKILY ONE WAS ALREADY GOING BY OR THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE TRACKS ANY HELP WITH THIS SITUATION WOULD BE HELPFUL THANKS

BEFORE MOVING FROM NEW MEXICO TO MINNESOTA WE HAD OUR 2013 DODGE DART'S OIL CHANGE AND CAR CHECKED OVER BY A DODGE AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING ON SD HWY 212 UP A HILL SHIFTING DOWN TO 5TH THE CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. SO I FORCED IT INTO 5TH BEFORE IT ROLLED DOWN A SHARP HILL. (PLEASE NOTE DODGE SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS). DODGE CLAIM THAT CLUTCHES JUST GO OUT LIKE THIS WITH OUT ANY WARNING AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I HAVE OWNED MANY MANUAL CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY CLUTCHES WEAR OUT. MY CAR ONLY HAD $40,000 MILES. I LEFT THE CAR BEHIND IN NORTH DAKOTA BECAUSE WE WERE MOVING TO MINNESOTA. THEY INFORMED US IT WOULD BE OVER A WEEK TO FIX. I WILL HAVE TO DRIVE BACK OVER 6HOURS (12 HOURS TOTAL TRIP) AND PAY FOR A NEW CLUTCH THAT IS PROBABLY JUST AS BAD. I THINK THAT THE CLUTCH GOING OUT WITH OUT WARNING IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR FAILED TO SHIFT FROM THE DRIVE TO THE PARK WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION FAILED TO BE REMOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE FLOWERY BRANCH AUTO CARE DEALER LOCATED AT 3507 ATLANTA HWY, FLOWERY BRANCH, GA 30542; WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE GEAR AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COULD NOT CHANGE THE GEAR, THE CONTACT TRIED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. THE CONTACT WAITED 25 MINUTES AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,940.

THE CLUTCH PEDAL, WHEN PRESSED, STAYS ON THE FLOOR. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR, IN ANY STAGE OF DRIVING WHETHER IT BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR WITH NO CLUTCH FOR 5 DAYS NOW, HOPING THAT THE PRESSURE WOULD COME BACK(AS THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED <NEVER FOR THIS LONG THOUGH, USUALLY JUST HAPPENS FOR 5 MINUTES>THE PRESSURE HAS ALWAYS COME BACK, UNTIL NOW), WHICH HAS NOT HAPPENED. I AM GOING TO TRY REPLACING THE MASTER/ SLAVE CYLINDERS AND POSSIBLY FLUSH AND/OR REPLACE TRANNY LINES, BUT AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND NO GOOD REMEDY TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THIS EXACT TRANSMISSION.I WOULD NORMALLY FIX IT AND GO ON ABOUT MY BUSINESS, BUT THIS PROBLEM IS WAY TO COMMON FOR IT TO GO UNNOTICED BY THE PROPER PEOPLE. I FEEL DODGE SHOULD TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND AT THE VERY LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND OFFER THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION.
