general problems of the 2013 Dodge Dart - part 2

My vehicle sat parked for 4 hours and the emergency brake completely gave out causing my car to roll down a hill and crashed on the side of the highway. . The emergency brake still did not work after the crash. I do have video evidence.

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.

After the recall on my car was fixed 3 weeks later I lost power to my breaks. The breaks made an air hissing noise, the pedal popped up and wouldn't depress more than 1/2 inch. I had to use the e-brake to get the car stopped from a low speed.

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.

January 15, 2017 I parked my Dodge Dart in the parking lot. Upon my departure I was able to turn the ignition and drive around the bend to pick up passengers. Once I came to a complete stop my engine shut off, all service lights came on (mirror warning lights, check engine lights, dashboard shift indicator stuck on "drive" rather than "parked") and no power steering. The vehicle was in 'park' but continued to roll backwards. I was in a full parking lot at the beach on a holiday. Multiple people where lined up behind my car to park/ pick up their passengers. Had I not have to pick up passengers I would have ended up on a hill (the first turn out of the parking lot is a fairly steep incline) most likely causing a horrific accident. I believe the issue is the power train/ shifter cables. I have not felt safe in this car since ive bought. Nor has it been reliable. Brought brand new and I have been to the car dealership multiple times for recalls/ check engine lights and oil changes.

The airbag light comes on anytime the outdoor temperature is above around 85 degrees. The Dodge dealership says nothing is wrong, but the light still comes on. My car was in the shop multiple times for issues with the electrical system. The battery has been replaced 2-3 times since 2013. Interior lights sometimes flicker. The navigation system resets itself randomly and now it can't "find" the maps. They are just gone somehow. The sd card slot works sometimes and not others, same with the backup camera. Dodge has been completely unable to fix these.

I'm sending this complaint because I was involved in an auto accident where I was going 70 mph and upon impact the air bag never deployed and I was hit I'm my chest by the steering wheel I thought that was the purpose of airbags. The vehicle was in motion on the highway.

This vehicle is subject to safety recall r63. Went to paul bailey's,425 ten rod road, north kingstown ri. Informed that the parts were in to perform the safety recall. Appointment scheduled for 6/9/2016. At which time the service department informed us that the brake boosters had engine oil contamination and that the parts needed to be ordered. Told to come back once called. General manager stated that under this recall if the initial inspection revealed contamination then the parts were to be ordered and that a second appointment was necessary. Quite upsetting that the parts are only ordered if the first inspection reveals the need for further repair. This makes no sense, now driving a vehicle with a safety recall that could cause a loss of brake booster assist. The parts should be available if the appointment is for the recall. Now have to wait.

How can an important safety recall be treated like its no problem? this is totally unacceptable and I would like an immediate reply to feel I'm doing my best to keep my family safe.
