I was driving to get my son pulled into parking spot put car in park well I thought it was I start to get out and car keeps going even after key was turned off. My car is was stuck in drive position the shifter cable came completely off! it happened three-four more times after I got the piece back on. Which one time was very dangerous and couldn't have been bad. Especially since I was driving with a child one out of four of the times.
Service airbag system message displays when you start the car and drive it it does not go off.
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!.
Airbag � I was in an accident a few days ago. When I was hit head on, my airbags did not deploy. I also would like to put out there that my car was also totaled and when I was hit I was going 45, and the other driver was going 60. Which is quite a hefty impact for a small car being hit by a lifted 2016 Toyota tundra, and for the airbags not to deploy. I am going to be suing Dodge.
Well my car headlight and the paneling caught on fire in my car went to car hop to advise them took the car to one of there dealers advised that they don't do electrical at the same time the recall came in advised me that a recall was needed too k it to dealership and as of now 30 days behind on the part advised carhop that the repairs have been made before I brought the car that wasn't done correctly which made me have to pay for the recall work they swear they didn't bit the state and carfax say otherwise it wasn't done by Dodge in no state but by there mechanics at this time the car is dangerous to drive it's still at Dodge and carhop said they will resell it to another family even though I advised them the panel caught on fire and there is a short.
In motion: loss of power - found oil in spark plug wells; dealership replaced well seals, plugs and ignition coil, continued to have problems; compression test was done and found all of my engine o rings were bad which would have happened at time of manufacturing. Had engine replaced at 100,000 miles in motion: brakes - brake pedal will suddenly go all the way to floor and cause difficulty breaking in time. Happens sporadically; no none cause stationary: electrical - car will unlock trunk instead of doors; fan knob will effect radio volume; bluetooth does not connect; happens sporadically; no none cause.
My car randomly will not start thinking that it is not in park. This also causes the diagnostic electronics to go haywire. I'm told there is a bushing that will fix this problem, but Dodge refuses to provide this part to my local dealer. The bushing is designed to cause the car to know it is in park so it will start. I'm also told this is a recall issue, but I received no recall notice from Dodge.
There's an active recall on my 2013 Dodge Dart aero for the shifting cable bushing. I was driving home from work and my traction control light came on, I lost the ability to accelerate, my car wasn't registering it was in park so I couldn't turn it off. I had it towed to a dealership on main street in norristown, PA. Mopar said the part won't be shipped to dealers for the recall until the end of August so they want to put another faulty part in. They are telling me I have to pay for it and mopar says they are not doing at repayments. They have also refused to give me a loaner car in the mean time. I don't feel as a consumer that I should have to pay for this or a rental because this is a recall issue. It is not safe to drive this car. I was very lucky no one else was on the road when mine failed, and that I was able to pull over safely without harming myself or anyone else.
My shift gear is not moving at all and it causes me not to turn my car off or on. My key is stuck in the ignition also.
Recall that hasn't been fixed, almost 2 months now. My car isn't safe to drive. Apr 11,2019 manufacturer recall numberv34 NHTSA recall number19v-293 recall statusrecall incomplete, remedy not yet available summary.
Recall on a transmission related safety issue , this a a bad problem but still Dodge don;t have the parts to fix this problem , how could that be ?? I am still waiting to have my vehicle repaired but in the meantime I am still driving an unsafe vehicle .
The clutch gets stuck on the floor and I'm unable to shift gears. This happens on a daily basis. I've been stuck in my drive way because I can't get the gear into the reverse position. Same this has happened in traffic where I'm stuck because I can get the gear into first to move the car forward. Once I do get the gear to go the car shoots forward dangerously. There is also a significant loss of power. When trying to drive up a hill the car can barely move and the rpms go higher yet there's no power.
Our vehicle keeps shutting off on highways, roads, etc. We always have children in the car. When we can finally start it again the whole electrical system then wants to shut down and the screen stays black for a long time.
After fueling the car up, driving down the road, the engine completely shut down. This wasn't the 1st time.
Takata recall transmission issues and blind spot detector issues while in motion my right blind spot detector will turn even if nobody is in the proper parameters of the vehicle.
There is heat that consistently emanates into the car from the area where the wiring harness or fuse box would be. I've had it looked at and mechanics continue to say that the fuse box is fine but there seems to be an issue with the harness. The problems is so bad that the heat over time has led to bad paint damage to the left side of the car. The paint is completely dull. The discoloration is beyond obvious and noticeable. The heat begins to be a problem almost immediately after turning it on.
The car keeps cutting off. I crank it back up and it runs for a little bit and cuts right back off. I have had the battery and alternator check and that's not the issue.
Tl the contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that there had been multiple failures pertaining to the emergency brake and turbos. Also, the vehicle misfired and failed to start several times. While on an incline, the vehicle reversed when the emergency brake was applied. The dealer (baxter Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram omaha (17950 burt st, omaha, ne 68118, (402) 800-1230) was notified of the failures and diagnosed that the emergency brake needed to be replaced a third time because a porcelain piece surrounding the center electrode fractured and a plug came out of a piston top associated with the cylinder walls, which damaged the catalytic converter, the turbo, and the long block. The dealer replaced the parts. The contact was uncertain if the oem parts that were replaced caused the failures because, after the repairs, the failures continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and did not assist. The manufacturer recommended that the vehicle be taken to the dealer. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
Car accelerates to 7000 rpms while attempting to pull out of a stop car doesn't move. It has happened 4 times at different intersections almost got hit from behind. Dealer cant duplicate error my fear is an accident.
I have had to take the car in every 2,000 miles or so to have it recalibrated(engine light on), the drivers headlight went out, shop where I bought it said it's the headlight assembly, bought one and had regular mechanic put in, did not work. My regular mechanic said it is probably the headlight control module, and since I need to take it in again for recalibration I am trying to find out if the module was checked and have it replaced. Sorry I bought this car, it's in the shop every 3-4 months!!!.
When you put on reverse gear the gear gives jerk and will not hold,,,car has to be restarted and put in reverse gear again. . . All the lights indication on gear turns red. . . Dodge don't resolve this issue. . . They just say it is sensor. . . But it is transmission issue. . .
I took my Dodge Dart into a dealership after it said service transmission they said nothing was wrong with it so I drove it some more and now it said service transmission,no reverse,and engine temp to hot so I called crystler and they said that there is nothing they can do about it since it's out of warranty I have only had this car since January 24th of this year I shouldnt be having this problem with it and the hun I look the VIN up it says it's a Dodge Dart sxt when it's a rallye so something don't make since I don't feel like I should be screwed over and have to pay 8,000$ for a broken car.
Takata recall.
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.
Had issue with 2013 Dodge Dart cranking . It took several attempts before the car would crank up.
Service transmission message on dash after about 50 miles of driving normal. Won't shift into second gear until 4200 rpm drops to 1000 rpm then shifts into third gear early at 2400 rpm when turned vehicle off and try to turn back on it says autostick not available. Clear all codes works fine. It's been at the dealership 4 times with no diagnosis. They have done the transmission control module recall twice. Every time it has happened there has been about a month in between. Tends to happen after about driving 50 miles normally.
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.
When trying to accelerate it is very hesitant to go, then it will over rev and the rpms will go up but it will not go any faster. It will only happen it second and third gear.
Air bag light keeps coming on stating air bag maintenance required. Blinks on and off longs car is started. Been happening for about a month now.
While driving on the mountain roads to driving on the freeway to driving any where my turbo cuts off and I lose almost all power causing me to loose power going up a steep hill and almost get rear ended at least 3 times. Further more when I'm getting ready to merge onto the freeway and it cuts out causing me to almost be hit by truckers. I get a burning smell coming from the engine bay smells almost like oil or wire smell. My speed control is non functioning and my ebrake is also damn near inoperable. I want to know why there hasn't been a total lemon law for 2013 Dodge Darts they are not safe to drive for the owner and anyone else on the road . So if this is a national highway transportation safety administration why is it not recalled!!!!!.
Takata recall while my vehicle is in motion on street or highway my vehicle begins to jerk. Also when coming to a stop or having to use my brakes before making or coming to a turn I have to use excessive force to come to a complete stop or to slow down, when doing that my car begins to shake.
Vehicle approached stop light, accelerator pedal was released and brakes applied. Vehicle came to complete stop and was at idle speed. Engine rpm suddenly increased to near 5k. Operator had witness in car. Witness observed operator to have foot on brake and not on gas. Fca notified due to lack of response to recall on tcm that had been over 18 months. Fca set appointment with dealer. Dealer advised that fca sent engineers to inspect car at dealership. Dealer advised car was being held for multiple days due to issue. Dealer advised this is not a known issue for the make, model and year. Outcome of fca engineer inspection not known at this time.
Takata recall, my 2013 Dodge Dart is part of the 15v-800 NHTSA recall. I received notification that my vehicle was affected by the recall. I received notification at the beginning of 2015, I believe, that the recall had occurred. I took my vehicle to the dealership and was told that they do not have the current part to fix the issue and they would contact me. I went in several months later and was advised of the same issue. In June of 2016, the gauges flickered but the vehicle turned on. Later on that day the vehicle did not turn on and the battery was dead. I replaced the battery. I went in for my regular oil change in December of 2016 and was advised that they do not have the part to fix the issue at the moment and would contact me. I informed them that this is the second time that this occurred. The dealership stated that I could not get the oil change unless I was able to keep the vehicle there to fix the issue. I inquired about getting a rental due to the fact of me not knowing how long the vehicle would remain at the dealership. I was informed that the dealership does not provide rental vehicles. Yesterday, I contacted the dealership to schedule an oil change and maintenance on the vehicle to have the recall resolved. I was informed that it is on a first come first serve basis. I went to turn on my vehicle and the battery was once again drained. I do not understand how a dealership can tell its customers that they do not issue rental vehicles when it is part of a nationwide safety recall. The dealership blatantly disregarded the my safety.
I was coming home from church when my car stop and shut off all so I went to restart the car and it wouldn't. I notice smoke coming from underneath my hood so I popped the hood to see what was going on. When I went to open the hood I notice fire coming from underneath my hood so I ran to the corner and called the police which actually transfer me to the fire department. The fire department came and put out and the police officer took a police report. Report number is ja125391 and I only had 37,000 miles.
Bluetooth don't work. $600 to fix at 45,000 miles. Now my prdn lights up all red. Will clear only when I turn car off and back on. Took car to auto zone and its not giving any codes.
