2012 Dodge Dart

THERE WAS A LOUD POPPING SOUND AND EVER SINCE WHENEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED IT SOUNDED LIKE AIR WHOOSHING OUT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THERE WAS BARELY ENOUGH BRAKING FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING AT IDLE. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO MAKE IT HOME. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING (6/22/2015) AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD TO BE REPLACED...UPDATED 08/06/15 *BF...UPDATED 08/12/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 11/30/2015 *JS UPDATED 12/23/2015*JS....UPDATED 06/15/16 *BF UPDATED 10/26/2017*CN

DESDE QUE COMPRE EL AUTO COMPLETAMENTE NUEVO, COMENC A RECIBIR RECALLS. MS ADELANTE Y POR DOS OCASIONES EL CARRO NO PRENDIA. LO LLEVE EN MLTIPLES OCASIONES AL DEALER Y SEGN ESTOS, EL AUTO NO REFLEJABA NADA, TODO SALA BIEN. EN LA PRIMERA OCASIN AL PRENDER EL AUTO, HIZO UN RUIDO ESPANTOSO Y LUEGO, LO APAGU. AL TRATAR DE PRENDERLO, NO RESPONDIO. LLAME A SERVICIO EN LA CARRETERA Y ENVIARON UNAS PERSONAS PARA QUE LE DIERAN CARGA A LA BATERIA. LA 2DA VEZ, CARGA A LA BATERIA. ES MI OPININ, ESE NO ERA EL PROBLEMA. HOY HACE 3 SEMANAS EL AUTO ESTA EN EL TALLER DEL DEALER, PORQUE SUPUESTAMENTE TIENE LA COMPUTADORA QUE CONTROLA LA TRASMISIN DAADA. PARA MI EL AUTO NO SIRVE. QUISIERA UNA INVESTIGACIN. NO DESEO SEGUIR PAGANDO POR UN VEHCULO QUE NO ME DA NINGUNA SEGURIDAD. GRACIAS! ...UPDATED 08-06/15 *BF UPDATED 10/26/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT WHAT PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THREE YEARS LATER, WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO INDEPENDENTLY SLIDE TO THE RIGHT. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A POLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE ABS AND ANTI SLIDE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTO BODY REPAIR CENTER FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH TO START THE ENGINE AND WHEN IT STARTED THE CAR BEGAN TO MOVE EVEN THOUGH THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS FULLY DEPRESSED. I HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF TO STOP THE CAR FROM MOVING AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL REMAINED ON THE FLOOR. AFTER A FEW MORE ATTEMPTS IT STARTED TO WORK CORRECTLY. IT NOW DOES THIS EVERY TIME IT IS PARKED FOR A FEW HOURS. VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER.

I WENT AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR. CAR WOULD NOT START. IT WAS LIKE THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT ENGAGE. RELEASED THE CLUTCH AND RE-ENGAGED, AND IT STARTED. DURING SHIFTS, IT DIDNT WANT TO GO INTO 3 OR 6TH GEARS. IT WAS LIKE THE CLUTCH IS NOT ENGAGING ONCE AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT, PERFORMANCE DODGE, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE ISSUE BUT CHRYSLER STAR WILL NOT FIX IT. I ASKED HOW CAN THEY KNOW THAT THE CLUTCH HAS ISSUES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT. THE EMPLOYEE INFORMED ME THAT THEY ALL ARE LIKE THIS. CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE CLUTCH ISSUES DUE TO ALL THE COMPLAINTS, BUT THEY STILL RISK THE LIVES OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BY NOT REPLACING THE CLUTCH. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY WINDOWS NOT ROLLING UP OR DOWN AND THE RADIO KEEPS RESETTING ITSELF. THEY DO UPDATES, BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE RADIO ISSUE. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT FOR THE UPDATE, THE UPDATE WOULDNT EVEN LOAD TO FIX THE ISSUE. HOW CAN A COMPANY KNOW OF ISSUES BUT REFUSE TO FIX THEM?

2013 DART 2.0 LITER, 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANS. CLUTCH PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE AND WILL NOT DISENGAGE CLUTCH. PULLING THE PEDAL UP WITH FOOT AND PUMPING IT RESTORES FUNCTION UNTIL THE CAR IS PARKED AT WHICH TIME, THE SYSTEM BLEEDS DOWN AGAIN AND THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT DISENGAGING THE CLUTCH. PROBLEM IS MARKEDLY WORSE IN HOT WEATHER. RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER ON RECTIFICATION ACTION IS AWAITING FOLLOWING INQUIRY BY MYSELF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER SLAVE CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.
