2012 Dodge Dart

I HAD STARTED MY CAR AND IT WAS IDLING IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE E-BRAKE ENGAGED. I WENT INTO THE HOUSE TO GET A FEW THINGS I HAD FORGOT AND THE CAR ROLLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY INTO THE ROAD AND WAS HIT BY ANOTHER CAR DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. I WAS SURE THE E-BRAKE LEVER WAS UP ALL THE WAY BEFORE I GOT OUT OF THE CAR. THE DRIVEWAY DOESN'T REALLY HAVE ANY GRADE TO IT EITHER. IT IS JUST BARELY SLOPPED FOR DRAINAGE. *TR

I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE THERE IS SUCH A HUGE PAUSE IN THE THROTTLE WHEN U ANYTIME FROM START TO GO ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING ON THE HIGHWAY I HAVE ALMOST GOT KILLED A FEW TIMES THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT AND THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL YET AFTERMARKET PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO BUY TO FIX THIS ISSUE COULD SOMEONE PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE I GET KILLED. *TR

KUMHO SOLUS KH 25 TIRES INCLUDED ON MY 2013 DODGE DART (SAFETY RECALL) ALL 4 TIRES ON MY 2013 DODGE DART ARE BREAKING IN THE SIDEWALL, CRACKING, AND LOSING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF AIR. FIRST TIRE REPLACED (2/7/14) IAO $132.42 REPLACED WITH A BRAND NEW SOLUS KH25. NOW, I HAVE TWO REAR TIRES LEAKING AIR QUICKLY (DOT 4212) & THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH MY SPARE. THESE TIRES STARTED PERFORMING SAFETY HAZARDS 3-4 MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST TIRE REPLACEMENT IN 02/14. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THIS COMPLAINT BE INVESTIGATED, SO I CAN DRIVE ON SAFE TIRES WITH MY CHILD AFTER BEING PROVIDE A SET OF NEW TIRES. *TR

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKE AND THAT THE BRAKES SEIZED. IN ADDITION, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ACTIVATED IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,038.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CLUTCH BECAME STUCK AND PREVENTED THE GEARS FROM SHIFTING. THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP BY PUTTING TWO FEET ON THE BRAKES AND SLOWING DOWN. LUCKILY WE WERE ALREADY SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP-LIGHT SO WE WERE GOING SLOW. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS INCREDIBLY HARD AND WE WERE UNABLE TO PUSH IT DOWN PROPERLY OIT?S POSSIBLE WE WOULD?VE HIT A PICKUP TRUCK. IF WE DID WE COULD?VE BEEN DECAPITATED. OR WE MIGHT?VE HIT ENOUGH TO SET OFF THE AIRBAGS KILLING OUR UNBORN CHILD. WE COULD?VE BEEN INJURED OR INJURED SOMEONE ELSE. LUCKILY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY. ?MY WIFE CAUTIOUSLY PULLED US INTO A GAS STATION, SUNOCO, AND I TOLD HER TO SPEED UP A LITTLE BIT AND TO STEP ON THE BRAKES. AT THAT POINT IT FELT AS IF THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING AND A LIGHT FLASHED IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SAYING ?SERVICE BRAKES ELECTRICAL?? OR SOMETHING SIMILAR. ?WE CALLED THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE NUMBER. UPSETTINGLY ENOUGH WE DISCOVERED WE COULD ONLY BE TOWED ABOUT 10 MILES TO GET HOME OR ABOUT 15 MILES TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP OTHERWISE THE COST WOULD COME OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. DISTURBINGLY THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE SUGGESTED THAT I DRIVE FIVE MILES CLOSER TO HOME AFTER KNOWING WE NEEDED TO BE TOWED BECAUSE MY BRAKES DIDN?T WORK. I UNDERSTAND SHE WAS NOT A MECHANIC BUT THERE IS NO REASON SHE SHOULD?VE SUGGESTED I RISK THE FOUR OF OUR LIVES TO DRIVE FIVE MILES SO I COULD GET A FREE TOW. ?WHAT IF WE WERE OUT OF STATE? WOULD I NEED TO PAY AN ASTRONOMICAL COST TO GET TOWED BACK HOME? WHAT WILL DODGE DO ABOUT THIS? ?ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IS NOT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, IT?S TOWING ASSISTANCE. WE ONLY GOT HELP GETTING A TOW. WE WERE COMPLETELY ON OUR OWN TO FIND TRANSPORTATION. ?WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF WE WERE ON THE EXPRESSWAY? WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED HAD WE RAN INTO THE PICKUP TRUCK WITH IT'S TRUCK BED AT HEAD LEVEL? ONCE FIXED IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. *TR

I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY HOME, WHEN MY VEHICLE REACHED RPMS OF OVER 7500 AND THEN DIED. I LOST ALL POWER, ELECTRONICS, MOTOR...EVERYTHING. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. I TRIED RESTARTING, BUT THE VEHICLE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF POWER. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE RUNNING AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME. BUT AFTER REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE TWICE, THEY ARE NOW REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. I STILL AM CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT THE TCM CAUSED THE OTHER ELECTRONICS ON THE VEHICLE TO FAIL, BUT AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE TCM WAS NOT FAULTY, THE TRANSMISSION IS. NEEDLESS, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND BELIEVE THAT DODGE SHOULD STEP UP AND REPLACE IT. THE VEHICLE IS A YEAR OLD AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. LAST WEEK, THE VEHICLE BECAME A SAFETY LIABILITY FOR DODGE AS IT FAILED WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN. *TR

DRIVING AT A AVERAGE SPEED OF 60-70 WHEN PASSING ON THE HWY MY CLUTCH PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD TO PULL IT OUT WITH MY FOOT TO CHANGE GEARS. THIS NOW HAS STARTED HAPPENING ON TAKE OFFS NOW. THE DEALER HAS ALL READY REPLACE IT ONCE AND IT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT KEEP ENOUGH IN STOCK FOR THE CARS THAT ARE HAVING THIS REPLACED. IT TOOK 21 DAYS IN ORDER FOR MY PART TO ARRIVE AT THE DEALERSHIP. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT LONGER FOR A NEW ONE TO REPLACE THE ONE THAT WAS PUT IN. THIS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ISSUE ALMOST LIFE THREATENING BECAUSE YOU COULD BE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND GOD FORBID YOU CAN'T REACT FAST ENOUGH. *JS

I HAVE A NEW DODGE DART THAT FOR THE PAST MONTH HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH ARRIGO DODGE SERVICE DEPT REGARDS TO MY CONCERNS WITH ISSUES. MY CALLS WENT UNANSWERED AND WAS GIVEN THE BLOW OFF. THIS PAST FRIDAY MY AC QUIT WORKING WAS WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN THEY WERE FORCED TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS... WHEN I ASKED FOR A RENTAL I WAS REFUSED... *JS

WHEN WE WENT TO OPEN THE TRUNK ON OUR DODGE DART RALLYE (2013), THE TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN. JUST A LITTLE BEFORE THAT IT WAS WORKING JUST FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS. WE HAVE TRIED TO RESET THE VEHICLE BUT THAT DOES NOT WORK, NEITHER DOES CHECKING FUSES. WE BOUGHT THE CAR WITH AROUND 6000 MILES ON IT (WARRANTY STILL UNDER AFFECT) BUT NOW AFTER WE BOUGHT IT THE WARRANTY IS GONE. WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ASAP. *TR
