Car Will Not Accelerate problems of the 2013 Dodge Dart

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. While driving 75 mph, the engine started revving, but the vehicle could not accelerate. The vehicle was pulled over to the shoulder and shut off. The contact had to wait an hour before the vehicle would restart. The vehicle was driven back home and later to an independent mechanic where it was initially diagnosed that the transmission failed. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer (crown Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram dublin, 6350 perimeter loop rd, dublin, OH 43017, (888) 739-0282) where it was diagnosed that the electronic control module (ecm) failed. The part was ordered and the repairs were made, but the failure occurred while driving on the highway again. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the ecm burned out the hydraulic actuator and the clutch, which caused slipping. The contact was informed that the actuator and the clutch needed to be replaced. The contact was waiting to hear back from the dealer and the manufacturer. The first repairs were covered under the federal emissions warranty. The contact was waiting to find out if the latest repairs would be covered. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 63,861.

Takata recall: there has been multiple issues with this car including loss of power, rapid shifting, transmission failure, stalling, and overheating. The check engine light and transmission light have come on multiple times, the tcs and passenger airbag lights have come on and off at the same time. This car has had 2 pcm's replaced, 4 tcm's replaced, 2 transmissions (the last one replaced less than one week ago), 2 sets of spark plugs and coils replaced, timing belt, serpentine, and water pump replaced. The transmission, serpentine, timing belt, and water pump were all replaced on 7/21/17 and now the car is presenting with the same issues. These problems started with the first owner (and were not reported to me) on 8/6/13 and started with me on 4/16/15. As of 8/2/17 I have the same whining noise in the car (which has been diagnosed as the transmission multiple times now), the transmission is unable to shift or lags or shifts too quickly, I can floor the gas peddle and the car will not accelerate, when I let off the brake the car surges forward, the check engine light is back on, and the cruise control is not functional. This car has been in the shop more than I have driven it and Dodge keeps repairing it and those repairs last less that one month and the same problem happens again and again. This car is unsafe to drive and Dodge has yet to remedy the situation. The car is set to be back in the shop this week and it is currently not drivable and a hazard to myself and others on the road. I would not be able to accelerate to move out of the way of anyone or anything due to the transmission and issues with this vehicle.

Attempting to pull out into traffic the vehicle did not accelerate and stalled with the front quarter of the vehicle in oncoming traffic. Vehicle was quickly put into park and reversed into safety.
