Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Dodge Dart - part 1

While driving the vehicle the shifter link bushing detached from the cable and came off the transmission causing the shifter to start floating and I lost all control of the shifter so I could not take my car out of the gear it got stuck in.

The car has a mind of its own but now it's a constant problem. I will be trying to go and it's like it shift to nuetural and I loose all powers so I keep pushing gas tell it does something. So I don't cause a accident. When this happens the middle screen where shows speed and stuff like reboots . It will also sometimes say gear not availiable. There is no warning lights on. I try not to drive unless I have to because it dangerous if the. Car does not give trouble backing our of my house it will do fine. And if it has trouble backing out of driveway it won't stop loosing power any time I have to stop or slow down. I did have 1 recall done last year when I left dealer ship it worked fine for like 7 days and back to doing the same thing. The vechicle is availiable for inspection I'm going to take it back to Dodge because it's going to kill me and others.

Car not shifting gears correctly. Dodge Dart accelerating poorly to the point where driving can be extremely dangerous for everyone involved. Sometimes car will not go over 40mph which is extremely dangerous. Car jerks and surges forward. Constant problems with transmission and gears. Car looses horsepower going up hills to the point where it can back into cars behind me. Gas mileage extremely high constant trips to gas stations to refuel car. Car has been to dealership shop multiple times for transmission and engine problems but the car still has the same issues nothing is getting fixed car is unfit to and is a safety hazard to all on roads. Dealership doesn’t care as long as they get their money. Engine light and slip light constant on. The car is dangerous to and dealer won’t issue me refund or any other car. I’m scared for my safety everytime I drive this car. Car will randomly cut off in middle of traffic. I will have to turn car on and off just to get it to come back on. I’m praying this car doesn’t kill me or someone else. Dealer doesn’t care multiple trips to dealer for repairs nothing gets fix’s just more problems after another.

First is the cruise control - it sometimes work, sometimes does not. But when it does, it will at times kick on and off while in use. Scary at times. The next is the loss of power on the freeway. There are times when it will just bog down and not accelerate. Other times it will catch and shift hard, other times will jerk. When these times occur, the check engine light comes on. But then will go off after a period of minutes.

When I first got this car three years ago I had a shift problem in the transmission it got stuck in the gear and I couldn't pull the key out when I did some research I realize that there was a recall so of course I went to the dealership and have them take a look at it to fix it they said that I will still be charge in the problem wasn't even originally fixed they rigged it they just made it to where I could pull off but I was still charged and now a couple years later I am having transmission problems again and the dealership is saying that I need a transmission as I am doing a research I realize that my transmission again has a recall on it.

The failure was when I was shifting gear . So I shifted 5 to 4,3,2 and thats when it stayed in 2 gear . I exit the freeway and drove the street to my home . The vechicle at that point only travel 21 mph . 2 years prior I had a similar issue on the freeway and my kids where with me at the time of the failure. So I had to pull to the shoulder and try to encounter the issue at a peaceful way . Like I said I had my kids with me and 9:45 p. M. . So I tooked me 2 hours to move the vehicle to a safer place and had my friend give me a ride home . Next day I have the tow truck picked up the vehicle and take it to Dodge dealer . They fixed it with no charge towards me . But now this second time they are not trying to help out . Either Toyota who sold the car . Or Dodge the dealer. Or Chrysler the manufacturer wont help. And Dodge is saying the vehicle requires a new motor at the cost of $13,000 dollars.

On June 16, 2021 I exited a parking lot and joined a line of traffic that was stopped for a stoplight. Traffic began to move and as I stepped on the accelerator the engine started roaring and the car accelerated uncontrollably across the opposite lane and into a utility pole. It was totaled and I was left badly bruised by the airbag explosion; I have also found I have strange noises in my ears and am seeing an otolaryngologist for that. The car has ben disposed of and I don't know where it is. I am fortunate that there was no oncoming traffic, no one was on the sidewalk and I was the sole occupant of the vehicle. The only one who may have inspected the car was the insurance adjuster. There was no warning of any kind and I had never experienced this before.

I was driving and while I was in heavy traffic so I tend to always put it in the n position so that I can rest my leg while the emergency brake is on and once traffic started to move I attempted to put it in the d position to move forward and started to notice a it to be difficult to move the automatic stick but did not really think much of it but I knew once I get back into my state I would take it to get looked at. Once on the interstate high way of a 3-hour drive, I started to worry since my car sounded like if I had a rock bouncing in my transmision so aproching to a toll pay stand I decided to put it on n position to keep it running buy make a stop on the side and was not able to so I try to put it on d again to see if it responded and that was what made us know we were in trouble. I could not control my Dodge Dart.

I was driving home when I turned the corner to proceed on the highway my car would not speed up. I tried several times and it was only reving up the engine like it was stuck. I was able to slowly gain speed but no more then 45 mph. When I would try to gain speed it would reach high rpms but not go anywhere but then it would jerk hard and the transmission was making loud clanking noises like gears shifting more then they should. The engine light came on which it goes off and on all the time. I have also been putting more oil in the car then I've ever had to do. It is using oil and the gas fumes are still horrible from my last complaint and I am not getting good gas mileage like usual.

The transmission has been replaced the recalls all have been taken care of multiple times and yet the same problem I need a replacement vehicle I've spent way more than the vehicles worth.

I was driving on the freeway, as I had acceleration problems, as I press the pedal, the car seems to got stuck.

6 speed Dodge Dart went into neutral and stopped accelerating while being driven on the freeway, car turns on but won't move forward or backwards when accelerated and in gear. I was able to get it over to the side of the road but then it had to be towed to my residence. I had a mechanic take a look at it and they believe it is a transmission motor control problem that other 2013 Dodge Darts have also encountered.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that when the vehicle was driven for about 20 minutes, the shifter went into neutral. Also, when the vehicle was at a stop, it shook and went into neutral. There was no warning. The contact stated that the recall history showed that the vehicle was repaired in 2016 for NHTSA campaign number: 15v542000 (power train) by an unknown dealer. Three years later, the vehicle the vehicle was taken to the yakima Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram dealer, located at 2300 goodman rd, union gap, wa 98903 where the tcm was replaced. The technician also diagnosed that the shifter needed to be replaced. The contact replaced the shifter. However, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,836. Fe.

I was was at a stop light. The light turned green, I gently pressed on the gas pedal to accelerate. The car made a loud revving noise. The car would not accelerate and felt like it was in neutral. I took my foot off the gas pedal and pressed the brake. The revving noise stopped and I put my foot on the gas pedal to try again. It then moved forward at a normal speed.

Well fist thing ever went out was ac compresser the deal ship wanted over1,200 to fix that . Then my gear shift went out . Now my breaks are making a noise but their not bad . Then when you get 20 miles pr car want shift until you take you foot of gas then it will chang gears .

I was driving on a busy highway. Have a manual transmission. Rpms started going up and down,like I was revving the engine,but was not pushing in gas pedal. Put clutch in to get off an exit, and the clutch stuck to the floor and the car would not go into gear. Left on very busy highway with a child!.

Feels funny when you shift gears.

The hydraulic shift actuator will fail - oftentimes/seemingly in the heat & sun after prolonged exposure. This causes the vehicle to a. If it is not driving, you will get the "service transmission error" and the vehicle will not turn on; b. If you are driving, shifting becomes dangerous and erratic. Note: this isn't covered under your warranty because it has likely expired. If you have a third party warranty, you will need to "prove the failure". With that being said, this appears to happen towards the afternoon/evening in my case (when it's the hottest and has sat in the sun all day). It has shifted erratically on me multiple over the last few weeks - I am highly suspect that this part may become a future recall part. My vehicle is under 47,000 miles, so this should not be an issue. Considering other transmission problems, I would be aware. It has almost caused multiple accidents for me (I have a clean mvr). The erratic shifting will happen at all speeds.

My car switches gears while the car is in motion. It also takes a long time for the key to be released from the ignition when the car is in park. A glitch in the electrical system causes my lights to go dim or completely turn off while I am driving.

Vehicle made weird noises as soon as it was put in drive shortly after being turned on. Was driving on a 45 mph road when I could no longer accelerate after the first gear while turning into the freeway. Was forced to pull over and restart the vehicle which was able to put into first gear and after second gear began to rev up an no acceleration happened. Was unable to make it to work and tried to test it 'out again, but unfortunately its still failing. My vehicle is undrivable and now need to pay out of pocket for repairs of a recall that is still "pending". Mine & my children's safety was on the line. We were lucky it was not rush hour. I have attached the letter I received from the fac us llc stating this is a defected vehicle. Which is a letter in accordance with the ntmvsa.

Check engine light always on reads under boost for the turbo, does not pick up speed at all for having a turbo.

Car is stalling and cutting off while driving. Got an oil change. Car doesn't react to pushing on accelerator. Rpm rev after hesitating with foot on the gas. Car is shaking and running really hard. I believe its the transmission control module, which is common in Dodge Darts. Its been recalled, but not on my model. Stalled in the middle of an intersection. Had to restart car 3 times.

I have taken this vehicle into elk grove Dodge 4 times for the transmission safety recall. Each time the transmission goes out. June 15, 2018 was the last time the transmission went out. Elk grove Dodge replaced the transmission. With approximately 59,893 miles on the car. Approximately 1. 5 months ago 6 months later I was on the free way and all of a sudden the vehicle jumped out of gear and went into neutral. I then lost power to the engine and almost crashed into the center divide. I contacted elk grove Dodge when I finally got home with the vehicle. The service manager advised me that they were not going to honor their warranty even if it was under safety recall. I contacted Dodge resolutions dept. Spoke to a guy by the name of chance. This guy is taking his dear sweet time in helping me. This vehicle is a lemon and Chrysler is starting to refuse to do anything about this problem.

No check engine or warning light driving on the interstate in 6th gear car blew up loud noise and caught on fire! only 85,000 miles with regular services. Lost all power and clutch pedal dropped to the floor and coasted to shoulder with a lot of smoke coming from engine opened the hood and there were flames where transmission fluid goes. I had noticed the transmission was slipping a couple days prior but it was christmas time so thought I could have it looked at afterward.

While driving on the highway and on city streets, the dash board lights went out and the needles for the speed and rpm went all the way to the bottom like the car was cut off. The car was still in motion. The dashboard said service electrical breaking system and the engine light eluminated. It did this more than one time. It will flicker the warning on the dashboard and then at one point the car cut off while on city streets. At another time when the message flickered on the dashboard the battery light came on. This has happened multiple times and I am concerned about my safety in this car as well as my children. The radio cut off and the eventually cut back on.

The car dies (stalls, doesn't run, etc. ) while driving. . Or when stopped, or whenever it wants. It will restart and then drive for a while and then die again. The check engine light didn't even come on after several stalls but eventually it coded with p2172 which is "throttle actuator control system - sudden high airflow detected". The car is being towed (as of this writing) to the selling dealer larry miller Dodge in peoria az for service. Personal note: the manufacturer/dealer should buy this car back. . . It's had 2 recalls (one for the windshield wiper motor and another for the entire engine to be replaced) and already had the a/c replaced.

Vehicle engine shakes for no reason, back camera doesn't work. I wasn't able to shift my vehicle until a part was bought that would allow vehicle to change gear. Suspension went out on front and back around 50000 miles til this day car shakes on a regular basis.

I started my vehicle this morning and it started rough and was surging. At takeoff the vehicle was driving strangly. Slowed to make a uturn, turned to the left slightly and my steering wheel locked, car shut down and was barely able to brake to slow down. I almost ran a man over trying to stop as I could not steer. The battery symbol popped up on the dash. I popped car in park. Removed key. Restarted vehicle and it took a good 5-10 seconds before turning over. There was hesitation upon start. After beginning to drive it seemed to be driving normally. . This seems to be a bit of a ticking time bomb and a very large safety issue and seems to be a known issue across all models.

Car has stalled twice when making stop and beginning to turn left on city street. Would not start first time. Restarted after a few minutes. Called aaa and replaced battery (it tested slightly weak, alternator was strong). Next day, stalled again turning left on city street. Started about a minute later.

The car just will randomly stall. No indication it is going to do this. This car is unsafe. I am to the point I hate driving it. I took it to shop and everyone says nothing is wrong with it. This has happened multiple times. I have only owned the car since 5/19.

About two to three weeks ago my breaks completely went out. I was driving and all of a sudden my foot was to the ground and my car was barely stopping. Took it to a shop and they told me my break line snapped and the fluid contaminated my breaks. Needed to replace everything on the front end (breaks, pads, break line, etc. ) fast forward to about two weeks agoi'm backing out of a driveway onto a main, super busy road, I shift into drive and my car dies. I press the gas and my car won't move. I had to turn my car off and on again in the middle of traffic to get it to start up. This happened again a couple days later as I was backing out of my own driveway. Backed out perfectly fine, put it into drive and it dies. Won't move when you press on the gas. Turn the car off and then back on and it drives again. Finally, today (August 23) I backed out of my driveway and put it in drive. Nothing bad happened then, but as I was coming up to a light and slowing down to turn, my cars battery light comes on and it won't go faster when I hit the gas. I pull into the auto repair shop that was there (thankfully) stopped the car and turned it off. When I tried to start it this time, it wouldn't start. I gave the guys at the shop my keys and info and just got a call that my car had no oil and they think it shut down to a safety feature. But my car was telling me I still had a 23% oil life. There were no warnings prior to the car shutting down. I do not feel safe in this car anymore, especially since I use it to deliver in and I commute to school. I never know when the next time it's going to stall out. And I don't want to get into an accident. Especially when I'm on the clock at work.

Car stalls, jerks, or completely stops. Dangerous on highways or at high speeds. Car completely shut off on highway.

Upon driving a few months after getting this vehicle I noticed it was burning oil rather fluently. When turning corners while driving it would shut of and I'd have to wait about ten minutes and it withhold turn on like nothing happened. After adding more oil it would operate a bit better. Then the throttle system kicked out. I was driving on the highway and began to lose speed. I pulled over for safety and turned the car off. After restarting it I learned the throttle body system was bad. I initially didn't know what it was until after researching the vehicle and it's functions. . . I cannot get speed going up hill and cannot reach does if more than 40-45mph.

The contact owned a 2016 Dodge Dart. While in a drive-thru line, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated. The brake pedal was depressed, but failed to respond. As a result, the contact crashed into a building. The air bags did not deploy. The contact stated that the driver sustained neck and nose injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and deemed destroyed. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000.

Over three times while driving my autostick not available and service transmission light has come on. Car sputters and comes to a stop. Once it happened on a 23 mile bridge where I was almost in an accident because of it. Dealership has had car over 5 times and the second transmission failed same day I got my car back. I still do not have my car back.
