In the last 4 weeks, while driving, my car has displayed a "service transmission" error and "gear not available error. " the first time was on I-10 and it occurred and I had to pull on the side or the interstate. My card was in d, but it would not drive or reverse. I turned it off and tried to turn it back on, but the car would not crank same service messages above popped up. After sitting on the side of the interstate for 20 mins, I turned it back ok and I was only able to go about 30 miles per hour. I was able to get back to my hotel room. The message disappear and the engine light went off, so the dealership was unable to find the problem. Yesterday, on July 8, 2018, the same problem occurred. This time I was driving on interstate 75, going about 65 mph, and the same error message popped up again. I had to pulled to the side or the interstate again, because my car would not drive. I turned it off again and waited for 5 mins and I was able to ease back to my home. As of right now, the dealership still can't find the problem. Though they can't find the problems, I am seeing several owners experiencing the same issues with their 2013 models. I've found several forums explaining the same problem that I am having as well as youtube videos. Can someone please get Dodge to do a recall on this issue.
A few things has been occurring regarding my car. The first thing is my check engine light has come on several times and when I got it checked, the car wouldn't start right at the dealership. The dealership was finally able to get the car started, however, they reported nothing was wrong with the car. The second thing and most scariest is my brakes. My brakes are totally messed up as they constantly lock and it's hard to press on the breaks. Therefore I do not drive long distances because I am afraid I won't be able to stop in time. I've taken my car to get diagnosed and they told me the my brakes and rotars are severely damaged and infact it won't pass the safety check in the state of NY.
At times the car will not start back up until you wait about 10 minutes and everything has to be off for it to do so. Newest problem is it suddenly slams on brakes while already stopped, the control panel's lights come on, it won't go into second gear sometimes problems with third gear. In order to fix this you have to keep turning the car off and waiting about 7 minutes for the computer to reset itself then it's good until maybe next day.

This is the second complaint I have filed on this problem. The first time I took it to dealer they said it was fixed and that obviously was not the case. Went to start my car and it would not start or turn over. After several attempts it started but the cel was illuminated and the lights on the gear shift were red. Just as last time the dealer had no answers for me. I started doing my on research and blogging and spoke to more than two other people who has same issue. They both advised it was the tcm. I called and told my service advisor and he told me that was not correct. I then provided him with an invoice number and dealership name where one of the people told me their car was fixed. When I called back later the advisor told me I was correct and they would be replacing the tcm.
On 12/16/2014 the vehicle flashed a "service transmission" indicator upon turning the car off the car would not start and the gear indicators all turned red showing no available gears. After a short time with the vehicle off the vehicle started again but the "check engine" light was on. It was taken to a local service center where they stated that it needed some reprogramming. On 01/22/2015 the same issue occurred and the vehicle was taken back in for service. Upon looking at the car I was informed no indicators were showing and their were no diagnostic codes (somehow the car mysteriously lost them). 01/25/2015 the issue occurred again and is presently awaiting service.
Vehicle was driven then when coming to an intersection the vehicle downshifted hard. Upon going through the intersection the vehicle stalled and then became inoperable. Vehicle would not start or even crank. Vehicle has been in the dealer for many electrical and transmission issues and we got really lucky there was no accident in the intersection.
On 4 separate occasions, the automatic transmission has disengaged accompanied by check engine light and warnings on instrument panel (service transmission, blind spot indicator disabled, and automatic high beams off). On all occasions, the car was undrivable (as if in neutral) until the engine was turned off and restarted. At that point, the shift points were completely off and vehicle would often nearly stall out. On 2 occasions, the car would not start after multiple attempts, but would inexplicably start later and drive acceptably for a short period of time. Dealer has performed flash updates and examined all connections. Other reports on Dodge Dart forum explain multiple similar issues and various unsuccessful dealer attempts to identify and fix the problem.
