WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON A BUSY ROAD MY MY CAR STARTED TO LOSS POWER, SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT WOULD'NT START BACK UP. THIS HAPPENDED IN JUNE 2020. I CALLED THE TOW TRUCK AFTER ABOUT A HOUR IN THE RAIN ONCE THE TOW TRUCK PULLS UP THE CAR FINALLY STARTS AND I GET THE CAR HOME. IT SHUTS OFF AGAIN ASSOON AS GET IN MY YARD. CHECKED THE FUSES, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, ETC. REPLACED A 200AMP FUSE AT THE BATTERY CAR WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. BAM THE CAR WILL NOT START ONCE AGAIN. ALL LIGHT ARE ON, BATTERY IS CHARGE FULLY THEDARN CARJUST WONT TURN ON. THIS IS A HARZARD COMPUTER CHECKS NOT ONE RECAL ON THIS ELECTICAL UNKNOW ISSUE, NOW I HAVE A RED BOX IN MY YARD THAT LOOKS PRETTY. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ELECTRICAL ISSUE, BUT WHEN I CALLED DODGE THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE.
THE CAR SHUTS OFF. I WAS DRIVING AND THEN IT JUST WON'T GO ANYMORE. ITS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS! HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE SAME NIGHT

MY CAR IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTER. IT WON'T GO INTO PARK OR DRIVE PROPERLY IT ALSO LOCKS MY KEY FOB UP WHEN IT DOESN'T READ PARK. IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT 90% OF THE TIME IT DOES. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND PAID TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE SO THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT TO TEAR IT APART . THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED AND SAID THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WASN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I HAD THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY REPLACED ON MY OWN BECAUSE DODGE WANTED A OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT AND GO FIGURE IT WASN'T THE ISSUE BECAUSE MY CAR IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE I'VE READ HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CAN'T GET YOUR CAR TO GO INTO PARK AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO END UP SERIOUSLY HURT. ON A SIDE NOTE THEY DID HAVE A RECALL ON THE SHIFTER BUSHING WHICH I DID HAVE REPLACED AND IT DIDN'T HELP THE ISSUE EITHER. IN ORDER TO GET MY CAR TO GO INTO DRIVE I HAVE TO HIT THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE PIN UNDER THE SHIFTER ANYTIME IT JAMS UP ON ME. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE FROM WHAT I'VE READ IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN DODGE DARTS AND BY NO MEANS IS THIS OK FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE TO MAKE CAR PAYMENTS TO HAVE CARS THAT THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE IN.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON WHEN A PASSENGER SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. WHEN DRIVING, THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON WHEN DRIVING WITH NO PASSENGER AND THEN STAYED ON. IN ADDITION, THE SEATBELT LIGHT WOULD BEEP EVEN WHEN THE PASSENGER BELT WAS PLUGGED IN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO DODGE FOR SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THE SEATBELT COULD NOT BE FIXED BECAUSE THE PART NEEDED WAS DISCONTINUED. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRE HARNESSES. THE DAY AFTER GETTING MY CAR BACK FROM BEING REPAIRED, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS BACK ON. IT CAME ON ONCE I STARTED THE CAR. IT NOW COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES DOES NOT GO OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS OFF.

125V674000 · Power Train:automatic Transmission:lever And Linkage:floor Shift
Oct 9, 2025
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Dodge Dart vehicles. The shifter cable may detach from the transmission, preventing the vehicle from shifting into the park (P) position and causing a loss of park function.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A loss of park function may allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Vehicles that were previously repaired under recall 19V293 will need to have the new remedy completed. The remedy is currently under development. Interim notification letters, explaining the safety risk, were mailed November 6, 2025. A second notice will be sent once the final remedy is available. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is A0C. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning October 16, 2025.

2RQ25002 · Recall 19V-293 Post Remedy Failures
Opened Jun 30, 2025 · Closed Dec 12, 2025
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Power Train:automatic Transmission:lever And Linkage:floor Shift; Power Train:shift Linkage/cable/rod; Power Train:shift Linkage/cable/rod:retaining Fasteners/hardware
On June 30, 2025, the Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) opened RQ25002 to investigate and review the effectiveness of Recall 19V-293. This recall was intended to address deterioration and detachment of shifter cable bushings by replacing them with an improved bushing that is less susceptible to deterioration from chemicals, oils, and solvents in MY2013-2016 Dodge Dart vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions and manufactured by Fiat Chrysler Automotive US LLC (FCA US). If the shifter cable becomes detached from the transmission, the transmission gear position may not match the driver’s intended gear selection. This mismatch could result in unintended vehicle movement or rollaway when the driver believes the transmission is in PARK, increasing the risk of a crash and/or injury. ODI has received sixty-three (63) Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQ) alleging worn or misadjusted shifter cables and/or shifter cable detachments in subject vehicles that had already received the remedy for Recall 19V-293. Complainants reported incidents of bushing deterioration and detachment, resulting in gear-selection mismatch despite the prior recall repair, raising concerns regarding the effectiveness and durability of the implemented remedy and the adequacy of the recall. ODI’s investigation sought to determine whether the remedy used in recall 19V-293 adequately addressed the cause of the failure and whether other vehicles using the same bushing design might be affected. In response, FCA US and Dura Automotive Systems Inc. (Dura) determined that the repair for Recall 19V-293 did not sufficiently address the issue, and therefore, a safety defect exists in the subject vehicle population. As a result, FCA US and Dura initiated the following recall actions: · Recall 25V-674 (FCA US) is intended to address MY 2013–2016 Dodge Dart vehicles repaired under 19V-293 or otherwise equipped with suspect service parts. Remedy is under development. · Recall 25E-065 (Dura) is intended to address the defect at the equipment level by recalling affected gearshift control cable assemblies distributed as service components. Remedy is under development. The recalls initiated by FCA US (25V-674), and Dura Automotive Systems Inc. (25E-065) were received prior to ODI sending an Information Request (IR) letter to FCA. These two recalls seem to resolve the concerns that prompted investigation RQ25002 by replacing the previously recalled and service-supplied shifter cable assembly with an improved design, currently under development. The vehicle scope concern identified in this query was addressed by the new recalls including all Model Year 2013–2016 Dodge Dart vehicles produced and equipped with the affected shifter cable assembly. Accordingly, ODI is closing Investigation RQ25002. The agency will continue to monitor field performance and recall completion data to evaluate the effectiveness of the new remedy. ODI reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.
