I was driving and the car started jerking and shifted to neutral. When turning on my car to leave work the car would not catch a gear it would just go from park to neutral, it has done this several times and has left me stranded. This has occurred 03/28/19, 08/08/19,08/10/19,08/11/19.
I was pulling out of my driveway and went to shift from reverse to drive. My shift would move, but my car was stuck in neutral. I had to push my car out of the road and since it was not in park, could not completely turn it off and remove my key. I set the emergency brake and had to disconnect battery since accessories would not turn off. Car was towed to dealership on 08/09/2019. Per recall, the recall covers Dodge Dart compact cars from 2013 through 2016 with six-speed automatic transmissions. The company says a bushing can fail, causing the shifter cable to come loose from the transmission. That means when a driver shifts to park or another gear, the gear may not change and the car could roll away. Parts for recall will not be available until September. Dealership cannot fix at this time and manufacturer offered no assistance.
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 husband was parking my car he went to put the gearshift in reverse and it would not move from drive. The car then would not shift into any other gears we had the car towed. It starts and everything but it cannot be shifted into gear I saw a recall saying that you guys recalled the gear thing for the transmission in my car the only problem is the dealerships are saying they don't have the part I need my car fixed ASAP.
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.
Dodge Dart 2013 -April 2019 recall Dodge Dart would not shift into park and past neutral, and then it would not shift out of neutral and key could not be removed when attempting to park at a business on 06/30/2019 car was towed and left at a firestone for repairs with key still in ignition and dashboard lights remaining on in the vehicle overnight due to the neutral gear.
Recall may be the problem. Car ran just fine until we shut it off waited 30 minutes trying to turn it back on and message displayed service transmission no cure found autostick not recognized. Vehicle ran for 400 miles drove perfectly fine we stopped for a bite to eat for about 20 minutes and car would not start again.
I reversed vehicle out of the driveway into the street and as I was shifting into �drive� the vehicle went into neutral. Shifter moves as normal, vehicle remains in neutral. With this I am unable to turn vehicle off since it will not go into �park. � dealerships very unhelpful saying there is nothing they can do and there will be a charge for them to even look at the vehicle. Never doing business with Chrysler ever again. My 2 year old was also in the vehicle, had to put the hand brakes up to stop car from moving.
�tekata recall� I went to the Dodge dealer shop and they stated I have a recall, and there is no resolution as of right now and they will not be able to fix right now. I have emails to prove. I read into this and it states could cause accidents. I have a baby on the way and feel something needs to be done ASAP! may 24 is when I found I had a recall.
V34/NHTSA 19v-293 this recall has been up for a while and I've called several Dodge dealerships to get this repaired, the only answer they give me is to go on mopar recalls and type in my email to get notification when the part is available. I received a letter on may 24, 2019 stating that there is a recall but that there was no remedy and by may 31 they will contact/mail us with a follow up recall. It is June 11,2019 and there is no sign of a remedy or a solution. I drive from riverside to los angeles everyday and with this recall I'm putting my life in danger and also others lives in danger.
The shifter cable bushing on the transmission end of the shifter cable which can deteriorate and become detached from the transmission. This condition can result in the inability of the driver to actually shift the transmission, even though the driver may move the shifter handle.
V34/NHTSA 19v-293 transmission shift cable bushing recall.
My clutch has fallen to the floor. Cannot shift. Cannot check fluid levels because there is no access. Apparently there is a wide spread problem with this vehicle and this issue but my VIN is not included, therefore I am unable to get any help fixing this. First start up in the morning. Clutch was fine the night before. Clutch is laying against the floor, basically useless.
Vehicle will act like it shifts into neutral while driving down the road. The car is also revving up to 3rpm on its own with no gas petal being toothed. The steering column is clicking and making a scrubbing sound. Mechanics can not identify a problem.
Tamara recall. I was driving my Dart home from work this evening when I noticed a power loss and a burning smell. Once I pulled car over I realized it was on fire. Fire started just by the battery. The car is a total loss.

Turbo/super charger underboost.

My daughter just purchased a 2013 Dodge Dart 4 months ago and the transmission control module has already been failing. I know several other 2013 Dodge Darts have had a recall for this and unfortunately my daughters car has not but is having the same issue. They wont pay for it without the recall on that VIN # . I think if there is a defect on these 2013 Darts they all should be recalled.
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.
Car needs shifter cable bushings on the transmission, without the proper bushings, the transmission might not be able to be shifted, even though the shifter may show the transmission has been shifted. I called the dealership, and the fca recall assistance center and was told the new parts were not available nor did anyone know when they would be. Since then, I have heard nothing though I was promised an update. Meanwhile I drive the car with great fear, I have no choice but to drive it.
It appears there is an alarming noise coming from the engine when I start the car at degrees lower than 40. This is an intermittent issue but when it occurs I loose power while driving down the road resulting in my rpm's to jump higher than normal accompanied by vibration and rataling coming from under the hood or tire (its hard to tell) . From my research, the cold start issue was a recall for 2013 Dodge Dart but it is not showing for my VIN. Could someone please reach out to me reguarding this complaint??.
Car went into neutral automatically while driving , warnings signs on the instrument panel said blind spot unavailable , auto stick unavailable , gear not available then follow by a service transmission. Couldn't get the car started back when I had to wait 10 mins , finally got it start back up as a result hard sifting occurred.
1st incident: drove my girlfriend to work. Came home and parked the car. Went back out and it kept saying gear not found. They had to put a wire on my transmission module, or said I could by a new one. 2nd for about the last year it won't find the gear. Says go to neutral then drive. Sometimes won't go to anything. 3rd. Wipers went on and wouldn't turn off. Sprayer doesn't work. Lady on the phone said the recall was fixed in 2016. But obviously it is still an issue.
I purchased the car July 2017 and has been at the dealer 5 times due to problems. I had a reoccurring issue with the battery light coming up, the dealer found no issues with the battery. March 2018 the battery sign lit up followed by a slew of other signals, including a power steering lock signal, the car started shaking and the power steering locked. I was at the light making a left when this happened. I was able to pull the steering wheel hard enough to make the left and luckily found a parking lot where I could park since I was in a heavily transited area. Attached is a picture I took after I was able to safely park the car. The car was towed to the dealership and they found no issues with the car, I had to pay $250+ for this. November 2018, the bluetooth does not connect, the odometer is blinking continuously and the car shakes when at a stop. The dealership has had the car for three weeks and turns out to be that the bluetooth console needed to be changed ($900+ cost), a tune up was needed �badly� ($400+) and there was believed to be a problem with a piece of the transmission that was causing the car to shake. The powertrain warranty would cover the cost of this last issue if it was found to be that this was the problem. If it was found that the transmission part was not causing the shaking, we would need to cover the $600+ cost for the labor. We are in process of dealing this matter with a manager at the dealership, since we do not want to keep this car.

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.
Car wouldn't start then when it did the gear indicator lights turned red and shifts really hard then you can shut car off and wiggle the shifter and it will start back up and run fine for a while then when sitting at a light it might go back to the red lights and start shifting hard again was told its the tcm (transmission control module) you really never know when its going to do this has done it in the middle of turns when it starts or just sitting in place.
The clutch cable became disconnected just as I was pulling into a gas station.
Shifting stick is stuck, the car appears to be stuck in reverse but actually is stuck in neutral, the key is stuck in the ignition and car won't turn on. Day prior to this car was park all day, later in the evening it was driven for about 3-5 miles and parked without an issue. Nothing was out of the ordinary until the next day when I tried to drive it again.
Windshield wipers will not cut off raining or no rain. When you start the vehicle they just run.

Vacuum pump leaking oil and a burning smell comes through the vents when brakes are pushed, also caused the O2 sensor to go bad and a/c to not work like it should. This happens when driving and you push the brakes to slow down or come to a stop.
Car shuts down while driving - battery light flashes and I am unable to accel. No power what-so-ever. This has happened (3) times once while driving on highway at speed 60mph and twice while stopping on red light.
