I, SYLVIA, NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY DODGE DART 2013 CAR. I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON MY BIRTHDAY OF NOV. 30, 2013 AT CARL GREGORY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE HYUNDL ALBANY, GA. WHEN I GO TO THE SHOP AND CHANGE MY OIL, I WILL ASK THE CLERK IF THERE A RECALL ON MY CAR. THE CLERK'S ANSWER IS NO, AFTER LOOKING ON HER COMPUTER. MY CAR STALL AFTER START-UP AS WELL AS HARD TO START SOMETIME AFTER I PUT THE KEY IN TO START UP MY ENGINE. I AM HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND STILL PAYING PAYMENTS. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE PROBLEMS SO EARLY IN LIFE. FURTHERMORE, I REALLY LIKE MY CAR BUT HAVING THESE PROBLEMS IS GETTING ME TO NOT TRUST MY CAR. PLEASE, LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE FOR ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

9/03/15 MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING WHILE GOING APPROX 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. RPM'S SHOT UP AND THE TRANS WENT OUT INSTANTANEOUSLY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, ENGINE AND TRANS LIGHTS CAME ON, CAR WOULD NOT GO IN ANY GEAR. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART IT, MEANWHILE I SAT LIKE A SITTING DUCK WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK, HOPING THAT THE SPEEDING CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS APPROACHING WOULD NOT CRASH INTO ME. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER. DEALER SAID THE CAUSE WAS A FLASHED PCM, IT WAS REPROGRAMMED I WAS TOLD IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. ON 9/05/15 1 HOUR AFTER COMING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. DEALER WAS CLOSED FOR THE WEEKEND SO I LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE, 2 HOURS LATER THE CAR STARTED BUT WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE, AN HOUR LATER, THE CAR HAD REVERSE BUT NO DRIVE.THE NEXT MORNING THE CAR STARTED, ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF AND ALL GEARS WORKED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID CODES WERE NOW SHOWING IT WAS THE TRANS RANGE SENSOR. GOT THE CAR BACK FOR THE 2ND TIME ON SEPT.16. SEPT.19 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN THE NEXT STATE, THE TRANS WENT OUT AGAIN WHILE GOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN! THIS TIME I WAS LEFT STRANDED OVER 70 HIGHWAY MILES FROM HOME. AFTER WAITING A FEW HOURS I WAS FINALLY WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME, TAKING TAKE SIDE ROADS IN CASE THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN. WHAT SHOULD'VE BEEN A 1 1/2 HOUR RIDE HOME ON THE INTERSTATE TOOK ME OVER 5 HOURS DRIVING ON SIDE ROADS. THIS CAR IS GOING BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 2 1/2 WEEKS! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, THERE ARE TOO MANY REPORTS INVOLVING THIS ISSUE ON SEVERAL WEBSITES I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE OR HAVING MY WIFE AND KIDS IN IT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY! SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE (NOT AFTER) THIS "KNOWN" TRANSMISSION STALLING ISSUE CAUSES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND KILLS SOMEONE!

PICKED UP KIDS FROM SCHOOL, DROVE TO THE MAIL BOX IN MY COMMUNITY AND TURNED OFF VEHICLE. AFTER STARTED VEHICLE AGAIN, BREAKS WERE VERY STIFF AND WHOOSHING SOUND CAME EVERY TIME I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED TO DRIVE, IT STARTED ROLLING. I HAD TO PUSH THE BREAK PEDAL HARDER TO MAKE THE VEHICLE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, ALL THE WHILE THE PEDAL WAS VERY STIFF. I DROVE TO WORK THAT MORNING AND MADE IT BACK TO KID'S SCHOOL WITHOUT ANY ISSUES OR SIGNS THAT BREAK SYSTEM MIGHT HAVE PROBLEMS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DANGEROUS ISSUE AS THERE ARE NO EARLY WARNING SIGNS.
