The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that while her husband was driving approximately 50 mph on the way to the residence, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the failure was due to the powertrain control module.

The towing company determined that the shifter cable had detached. The contact later became aware of NHTSA campaign number: 25v674000 (power train).

After purchasing the car used, the car got stuck in reverse and would not start or shift into/out of gear or park. The dealership determined that it was "shifter cable bushing broken out of cable eyelet" which we saw was on a recall list for these vehicles. Upon further investigation, we discovered that the recall work had been done while with a previous owner. However it appears that even the recall work has failed. The necessary part to fix the issue is on back order and more than one shop has confirmed that they are unable to get the part to make the repair. I spoke with a representative from Chrysler and they said that since the VIN doesn't pull up a recall, they won't help us with this issue. The car, which was purchased 6 days prior to the incident, now sits at the dealership and if it ever gets fixed will cost over $700 for repairs. Since it seems to be a failure of recall work, I'm hoping an investigation can be opened and that we and other owners could get some help with this.

Driving down the highway, I pushed on the gas pedal and my engine began to rev. I looked at the dashboard, and the dashboard showed I was in park. I looked down at my shifter, and the shifter was positioned in drive but the light on the column was showing I was in park. I was able to get pulled over and stopped. I moved the shifter into park and back into drive. Transmission remainder in park. I turned the car off and repeated the steps. The transmission remained in park. After the 4th attempt, I left the car off for more than a minute. The transmission finally shifted into drive. Less than an hour later, I was turning through a busy intersection, and the engine began to rev again. This time, the transmission did not show it was I park and the gear shifter was in the drive position. Due to not having enough moment to continue further, I wound up stopping in front of a car that was attempting to make a right hand turn onto the highway. This time, after putting the car in park and moving the shifter back into drive, the car engaged and I was able to move out of the way of the car that was trying to turn onto the highway. My safety was put at risk as momentum was the only thing that got me through the remaining part of the busy intersection. Going down the road or making a turn in a busy intersection and potentially being stuck in the middle of either is asking for a wreck to happen. At this point, I had only had the car for a week in which I bought it from the dealership and it still had under 100,000 miles. There were no warning messages/lights and no other indication of something was wrong. Both incidents occurred on March 8, 2024 between 3 and 4pm eastern time. The dealership stated the vehicle had been inspected prior to purchase and after stopping by the Dodge dealership (owned by same person, different dealership), the service department stated spark plugs had been replaced as well as a cv valve back on 2/24.

My car kept dying on me randomly flashing a light on my dash of a lightning bolt in between two curved lines. I researched it and it was saying that my throttle positioner was going out.

When I first got this car three years ago I had a shift problem in the transmission it got stuck in the gear and I couldn't pull the key out when I did some research I realize that there was a recall so of course I went to the dealership and have them take a look at it to fix it they said that I will still be charge in the problem wasn't even originally fixed they rigged it they just made it to where I could pull off but I was still charged and now a couple years later I am having transmission problems again and the dealership is saying that I need a transmission as I am doing a research I realize that my transmission again has a recall on it.

While driving down my street and accelerating, the car stalled out. No warning lights on dash. Had a hunch and checked the oil. It was nearly bone-dry. Added two quarts and it appears to be functioning normally. I believe the issue to be excessive oil consumption. With the lack of warning light, and just unusual occurrence, I could have been killed. I'm just glad I wasn't on the freeway (as other Dart owners I've talked to have been).

The 2016 recall for 2016 Dodge Darts explains every problem I'm having and even says the parts that have gone bad will go bad. It also states that the problem may affect manual transmission 2015 Darts. The Dodge mechanics told me I need a new clutch, throw out bearing, and fly wheel. $2,000 fix in which they said would only be a band aide because it's a defect with Dodge Darts and it will continually happen no matter how I drive or how often I replace the parts. Dodge corporate has occupied most of my week on the phone and they keep denying me assistance, plus keep closing my cases with no reason why.

Sounds or anything. I got over as much as I could I hit the guardrail then spun in two lanes and hit the other guardrail. Not one airbag came out. A few months before that my brake booster went out. Also I have a recall on my transmission but they don't have the part to fix it so it could be throwed I to neutral without a notice. . I have pictures of the car the accident the brake booster and a police report . The car only has about 80,000 miles on it and the 2013 and 2014 all have brake problems and online alot of people complain about 2015 brakes and airbags. I feel these cars should be pulled off the market I still owe alot of money on this car and. Forking out over another $500 or more to fix it so I can drive it.

I have tried to schedule a recall for months. I received the notice, called jim click Dodge, was told there was no recall for months.

I contacted Chrysler and they weren't any help either and just kept saying "I'm sorry". Chrysler needs to fix this problem and it needs to be fixed now.
