WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL, "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" APPEARED ON LCD, THEN "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE". AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND ON, "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE" APPEARS AGAIN IF IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. AFTER ANOTHER REBOOT, ONLY OCCURS IN DRIVE. AFTER AN ADDITIONAL REBOOT, FUNCTIONS IN ALL GEARS. DODGE ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR 3 TIMES, WITH THE CAR IN THE SHOP FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS. FINAL REPLACEMENT PART WAS "CLUTCH ACTUATOR". *TR

TURNED ON CAR IN THE MORNING, NOTICED THE BACK LIGHTING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS REALLY DIM, I CHECKED THE DIMMING SWITCH TO SEE IF I MOVED IT BY UNKNOWINGLY. I TRIED ADJUSTING THE SWITCHES BUT NOTHING WORKED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AND NO CHANGE THEY WERE STILL VERY DIM. I WENT AHEAD AND DROVE TO MY DESTINATION. ON THE TRIP THERE THE LIGHTS FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL AS WELL AS THE BACK LIGHTING FOR MY 8.4" SCREEN AND A/C AND RADIO LIGHTS TURNED OFF FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS, AND THEN EVERYTHING TURNED BACK ON, BUT STILL VERY DIM. I GOT TO MY DESTINATION TURNED OFF CAR, GOT OUT AND LEFT THE CAR FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, CAME BACK AND STARTED IT AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. SINCE THEN, IT HAS HAPPENED EVERYDAY THIS WEEK SO FAR. I PLAN ON CONTACTING DODGE/CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY CAN ASSIST BEFORE I GO TO THE DEALER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHEN ENGAGING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING 80MPH, WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR JUST REVVED UP TO 7500RPM, LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. CHECKED THE GEAR SHIFT AND TRIED AGAIN WITH ONLY GETTING THE CAR TO REV. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, TURNED IT BACK ON IT ACTED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T CATCHING. NOT ONCE DID IT SHOW ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER WARNINGS. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT TOOK THEM 2 DAYS TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEN IT FINALLY TURNED ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT HAS BEEN BEING REPAIRED FOR OVER A WEEK NOW BECAUSE NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG WITH IT EVEN THOUGH IT HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. *TR
