The recall for the gear shift has been worked on by a Dodge service dealer and I'm still having issues if the gear sticking intermittently where I can't switch from drive to park and I get stranded in the highway. I am a single mom with a 5 month old and I am afraid for us. I have taken back to service for a recheck and they say everything is fine. It's not fine! this happens.

Master clutch cylinder / clutch / cvc delete valve complete failure, causing vehicle while in operation to get stuck into gear and clutch to drop to floor. Premature clutch fail due to the cvc delete valve and plastic material used in master cylinder, the cvc delete valve impacts hydraulic pressure of clutch causing a huge safety issue while operating vehicle and driver becomes stranded. The clutch, due to the manufacturing of the plastic fitting disengages making shifting not possible for driver.

My 2015 Dodge Dart has been operating very well until the last few weeks. Recently I will be driving on the road shift the car into any gear accelerate and the rpms will go to 6000-6500, but the car goes no where. This has happened to me every time I get into it and now I don't feel safe. I took it to two different dealerships which both of them stated this was a Dodge issue; where there is open lawsuits and lemon law acts in progress for this same issue. 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.

Hi on new years eve my brakes failed and I hit a dog going 45 mph then on Jan 5 a 18 wheeler came over on me and I hit my brakes going 70 mph on interstate but never slowed down it did make a mark in the road but no.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.

My car switches gears while the car is in motion. It also takes a long time for the key to be released from the ignition when the car is in park. A glitch in the electrical system causes my lights to go dim or completely turn off while I am driving.

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. After about 4 months of this, they started telling me there were no parts available. I had an appointment today and when I arrived, they said that they didn't order the part and it would be another week. I've called larry H. miller and was put on a "list". 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.

The car is using oil and will completely die while driving. When it becomes empty if I come to a stop it will completely die and I lose all power steering and the car struggles to turn back on. Dodge is aware of this issue on so many Darts and nothing is being fixed. This engine needs to be recalled! twice between oil changes this last time I have been completely empty. This has happened since the very beginning that I had the car.

I had put my car in park and went into a friends house and my car rolled over his grill and rolled down behind his house. It costed me $100 to have towed out of his backyard because the ground was wet and my car sustained front end damage. I called yall two years ago when this happened. It was January 29th 2017 and I was told that it would be documented and that there's no recall for my car. Last week I got the recall notice for transmission shift cable brushing. Now I need proof that I reported it. Can someone please send me this report.

TPMS system failure (multiple times) I have had my TPMS system repaired three times since I have owned my vehicle and it never fails that it stops working again shortly after getting it fixed. I have no idea if this is considered a safety issue but it could be for some people that don't pay attention to their tires. The right cv axle has also gone out of my car at approximately 70,000 miles. This item was covered by warranty but other friends that own Darts have mentioned having the same problem. It created a bad popping noise and made going over bumps slightly unstable. Transmission shift cable -- this is active recall on my vehicle but figured I would include the information.
