general problems of the 2013 Dodge Dart - part 2

At acceleration the car periodically stalls before accelerating.

After driving for an hour, I stop at a red light to make a left turn on a left turn only lane. Upon the light turning green, I press the gas pedal and there was no response. After approximately 4 to 10 seconds the car aggressively jerked forward into oncoming traffic. Thankfully everyone waited.

When I went to take off, across a highway, my vehicle would not accelerate correctly. It would only run about 1mph. Causing me to barely make it across the road before being hit by on coming traffic. Chrysler is checking it out and are assuming it is the turbo-charger. They are asking my mechanic to pull the turbo-charger down and send to them pictures before they make any further judgments on the problem. I had only had the car for appox. 2 1/2 weeks when the trouble occurred. My car is still in the shop and they can't tell me when it could be fixed. I just made the first payment on July 17, 2013 and don't have use of my car.

Driving at a average speed of 60-70 when passing on the hwy my clutch pedal was stuck to the floor and I had to pull it out with my foot to change gears. This now has started happening on take offs now. The dealer has all ready replace it once and it is still having the same issue. Apparently the part is on back order because they can not keep enough in stock for the cars that are having this replaced. It took 21 days in order for my part to arrive at the dealership. Now I have to wait longer for a new one to replace the one that was put in. This can cause a serious issue almost life threatening because you could be pulling out into traffic and god forbid you can't react fast enough.

While pulling away from a stop sign the accelator peddle stuck under the floor mat. I noticed the factory mat sliding around a month ago and returned the car to the dealer. I was told to buy new after market mats. I removed the driver-side mat and ordered after markets. The new mats have larger lugs to hole them in place. But it moved again and while accelerating away form the stop sign the peddle stuck under the mat. I applied the brake and was able to reach down and pull the peddle up. At this point I have remove all driver-side mats. I also called the Dodge owners help line and was informed that (more or less) it was not their problem. If a less experienced driver had been at the wheel there may have been a much worse out come.

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the vehicle began to accelerate independently. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was awaiting diagnosis. The manufacturer had not been notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The failure and current mileage was 599.
