Have a 2013 Dart SXT 1.4T manual. I'm going on 2 years with the car, bought it with just under 20K. Since buying it, I've had spouts of check engine light for underboost occasionally come on and go back off soon after, never much of a bother since it never lasted long enough to get the dealership to catch it while the light was still on. Yesterday, 1/10/17, my car was driving normally until I tried to get on the highway, at about 40 mph the engine started stuttering pretty bad, but I didn't think anything of it because no lights were coming on the dash. Until I hit 50. Suddenly the ce light started flashing, the car wouldn't go above 50 mph and the rpms wouldn't even hit 4000. Pulled over, turned the car off and back on, the ce light was back off. Revved the engine for a bit, no issues. As soon as I attempted to accelerate again, the ce light started flashing and then stayed solid this time. Called a tow truck to tow the car to the dealer since clearly it was dangerous to be driving. Once I got to the dealer, started the car up to move it into a parking spot and suddenly neither the tachometer or speedometer were working. They were working normally on the side of the highway. Its like the entire powertrain decided to have a total meltdown all at once. This is not acceptable for a 3 year old car with less than 50K miles on it. I have changed the intake on the car and the hot/cold side piping for the intercooler, but they have been on the car for over a year and I've been sure to regularly check connections and keep them well maintained to prevent any issues, there's no way they are the cause of the powertrain suddenly having a meltdown.

Could not renew my 2017 California registration. Needed a recall R42 done, per dmv records. Had this recall done on Jan 5th 2017 by Jeep Chrysler Dodge of Ontario calif. Their invoice number 491747 the car ran good for a day. On Jan 8th had problems with transmission the engine service light came on along with service transmission message I was driving and the car shifted by itself into neutral. No forward no reverse. Very frightening experience. Especially with my wife and 7 month old baby in this vehicle. Had car returned to dealer ship on 1-9 2017 I was under the impression this recall R42 was to solve this problem of vehicle shifting into neutral. I'm afraid to drive this car with my family.

When parked on an incline, the car experiences failure in shifting from park to other gears. The gear lever will physically move to other gear positions, however the car will not switch from park to other gears. We have had to manually push the car forward to get it to switch out of park. It seems to be some kind of failure between the sensors sending information to the transmission control module which is not allowing the vehicle to calculate gear shifting correctly. This has happened on 3 separate occasions.

I have had issues with the clutch "sticking" for months. Numerous times I would push in clutch and the gearshift wouldn't "catch" or go into gear. Now gear shifter is broke. Won't go into reverse at all. Still shifts in forward driving gears.

While my mother was driving her 2013 Dodge Dart with only 17,000 miles on it the car went into neutral on its own. The car was running and the shifter selector was in drive...but the dash showed "N" for neutral and the car would only rev and go nowhere. The shift handle could be moved to any position but the trans stayed in neutral. Car had to be towed to the dealer. I let them know that I saw there was a recall R42 for this type of problem. Dealer said our car was not part of the recall. We did bring the car to them 6 months prior to this because we reported the transmission was hesitating on acceleration...at that time the car only had 12,500 miles on it...they said they could find nothing wrong. This is a huge safety problem, if she had been pulling into traffic from a stop this could have caused a horrific accident. Again this happened while driving in motion, luckily in the mall parking lot and not on a major intersection...very dangerous.

Yesterday we were parking our vehicle in a parking lot when the shifter got stuck in neutral. We were unable to shift the car into park and were unable to turn the car off and remove the key because it was stuck in neutral. We ended up having to have the car towed to the dealership. Today the dealership told us that the cable connecting the shifter to the transmission had come loose and that from a manufacturing standpoint the cable was "too short" and likely to come loose again. They reattached the cable but recommended that the cable to replaced with a longer cable that would be less likely to come loose. The cost to replace the cable and have it reinstalled was going to be just under $800. They recommended that we contact Dodge because the car is under 4 years old and only has 26,000 miles on it and the issue is not a wear and tear issue but a manufacturing issue. Dodge denied our request to extend the warranty and to pay to have the cable replaced. We expressed our concern that it was a safety issue (because it could've happened while driving) and they said to contact dot and to recommend that there should be a recall on the part. So that is what we are doing. Thank you for your assistance.

The gear shifter moves but the transmission never leaves park

When shifting from reverse to drive the shifter whet limp and the car was stuck in reverse. I was unable to shift to another gear or remove the keys. The car was stuck in the middle of the street and had to be towed for repair. At the dealership I was told the shift control cable had broken and it would have to be replaced. I was told it was not covered under warranty as the car was older than 36 months. I paid to have the shift control cable replaced. Failure mileage was around 24,000.

Clutch, flywheel inoperative while driving

I own a 2013 Dodge Dart 1.4L turbo 6 speed manual. Everytime I try to shift into reverse from a stop the shifter only goes half-way in. I can get it in gear after depressing the clutch several times. The powertrain contol module was replaced in 2014, and when I spoke to the dealership they stated that the only way to repair the problem was to rebuild the transmission. My car only has 52K miles on it.

This car is 3 years old and we have had to replace the body control module (BCM), and transmission control module (tcm). The check engine light is still on and Dodge is still trying to find out what is wrong with it. Before replacing the body control module the car wasn't starting so the battery was replaced, it turns out the BCM was staying on and drawing power form the battery while the car was off. We were constantly having to jump the car to get it started. After that the transmission started acting funny it would shift hard, shift into low gears while driving on the freeway. Also when first started or stopped at a traffic intersections the vehicle would shift into 4th gear on its own unless in sport mode and done manually. This makes it accelerate very slowly which is dangerous especially when pulling out into an intersection. After replacing the tcm the issue with the transmission is still occurring, it is currently being looked and the cause is still unknown.

I started having issues with my Dart 2 years after I bought it, tcm lost communication while traveling 70+ mph down highway had to tow car. Had tcm flashed(repair 1), drove 2-3K mile more, happened again, brought it to a different dealership said they replaced tcm (repair 2, before tcm recall was issued.) about 10K miles later had to bring it back, had tcm flashed again (repair 3), about 10K miles later tcm has problem again while traveling 40+ miles down a very busy city street and need to tow vehicle, this new dealership replaced tcm again (repair 4 after tcm recall is issued, 4K miles later car is now throwing check engine lights for BCM, and PCM which I am told is connected to the tcm. I am in the process of filing a lemon law claim against Chrysler, a three year old car that I paid almost $30,000 should not cause so much stress. I cannot allow my family to be in danger, I have been lucky that neither issue resulted in a car accident. Chrysler needs to buy my vehicle back. I do not wish to talk to them about servicing the vehicle again, or trading them for a newer vehicle as they have lost my trust as a company.
