"ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE TO PREVENT ROLLING" ALERT COMES ON AFTER ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE ALERT SUBSEQUENTLY COMES ON EVERY TIME THE CAR STOPS AFTER THIS INITIAL PHASE. ON OCCASIONAL, WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP AND IS PUT INTO "PARK" AND THE ALERT COMES ON, IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE THE CAR MUST BE TURNED OFF AND ALLOWED TO SIT FOR AT LEAST 10-15 SECONDS, RESTARTED, AND WILL THEN ALLOW YOU TO SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR. THE ALERT WILL THEN AGAIN COME ON WHENEVER THE CAR IS BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP.

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART WITH 75,000 MILES ON IT. ON 7/14/17 WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND REMAINED IN NEUTRAL, WHICH CAUSED A LOST OF CONTROL OF THE TRANSMISSION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE OPERATED AS THE TRANSMISSION IS REMAINED STUCK IN NEUTRAL. THIS INCIDENT COULD EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE VEHICLE OF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY.

MY WIFE DIANA PURCHASED THIS CAR ON JUNE 19 2017, FROM A DEALERSHIP HYUNDAI OF GARDEN GROVE CA. A MONTH AFTERWARD WE TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE, SINCE THIS DODGE DART IS A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THE CLUTCH NEEDS TO BE PRESSED TO START THE ENGINE. WHEN I DID THAT, THE CLUTCH WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE. WE TOOK IT TO GLEEN E THOMAS DODGE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA. THEY KEEP THE CAR FOR A FULL 7 DAYS AND COULDN'T FIXED IT. AFTER THAT THE PROBLEM OF THE STICKING CLUTCH REMAINS UNTIL NOW, GETTING WORSE AS THE TIME GOES BY. EVERY WEEK THE ISSUE COMES UP. WE TOOK THE CAR AGAIN TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, THIS TIME WAS CERRITOS DODGE AND THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR ANOTHER WEEK. CLUTCH HASN'T BEEN FIXED. THE STICKING CLUTCH HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY WEEK IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS, WE HAVE TO PULL IT BACK WITH OUR HANDS OR FEET, THEN WE PUMP THE CLUTCH UNTIL IT WORKS AGAIN.

I HAVE A 2013 DODGE DART AND AFTER BACKING IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY IT WAS STUCK IN REVERSE. WE COULDN'T TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT. AFTER WORKING WITH IT MY HUSBAND FINALLY GOT IT TO GO INTO PARK, TURNED THE KEY OFF AND REMOVED IT. NOW IT IS SITTING IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE ALMOST ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET.
