Well fist thing ever went out was ac compresser the deal ship wanted over1,200 to fix that. Then my gear shift went out. Now my breaks are making a noise but their not bad. Then when you get 20 miles pr car want shift until you take you foot of gas then it will chang gears.
Tire pressure monitoring systems a malfunctioning TPMS light will not notify an owner of an improperly inflated tire. An improperly inflated tire may experience a complete loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The 2015 Dodge Dart was purchased in September of 2018 with 35,000 miles on it. It has been regularly maintained had hasn't had any issues until November 9, 2019. The car was started that morning and idled approximately 2-3 minutes, it drove about 60 feet and stalled, power steering and brakes where lost. The battery light was illuminated on the dash board. When trying to restart it struggled, but eventually turned over. It then drove fine. Once at home I research the issue and found multiple reports like mine of engines stalling due to excessive oil consumption.
The right window no longer works as well as the driver side window. The trunk is also not wanting to open. Key gets stuck in ignition every time I try and turn the car off. Shift cables also broke, I was just getting home when it happened I heard something snap but didn't think much then I parked and tried to drive off again and the car wouldn't shift to drive I could move the stick.back and forth still, had it replaced a couple of days later they said the whole rod had come out and shot into something else in the vehicle had shift fixed. Also had motor mouths fixed the mouths became loss within a couple of days now I believe the ac compressor is messing up ac kicks on but no air comes out, but it only happens once in a while car also stays cold for a long while and makes a weird clicking noise when I start it up. Also smells like oil. Passage seat also is stuck. This all happened within 2years ive had the vehicle.
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.
Vehicle is under recall already, its stuck in neutral, the gear shift moves but the transmission isn't changing gear. Took it to dealership and their giving me problems even looking it up to verify the recall and to inspect it. They agreed to give me a rental car after they verify the recall but told me it could be weeks till they have time to even look at it. They claim they have many other cars that need repaired and this wasn't a top priority. So my car is at the nearest dealership to where I broke down, waiting for them to have the time to even verify the recall? I was under the understanding recalls should be performed and completed on a timely manner, but im being put on the back burner because this is a recall and im not paying out of pocket for it so its not a huge concern for them. I was told by Dodge if I didnt like the wait I could go elsewhere. I cant. The car is stuck in neutral so its stuck at Dodge unless I pay to tow it to a different dealership.
The transmission shift cable on my car stopped working when I was leaving my garage to go in a road trip. This problem already have a safety recall issued, however a remedy for this condition is not currently available. The car has been towed to a local dealership, and they advised that a part has been ordered to fix the problem and I have contacted fca that advised me that they would send approval to the dealership to proceed with the repair. However, after multiple calls from me and from the dealership, fca still haven't given the approval to the dealership to proceed with the repair.
Car dropped out of gear in the middle of the highway during rush hour traffic. It was terrifying I was almost rear ended but was luckily able to get off the road safely. Dropped speed and there was no acceleration.
I was backing out of a parking space at a coffee shop and my car stalled and wouldn't shift gears. Finally was able to get it towed due to a recall on the vehicle and was told it would be a week to get it back. Received a phone call exactly at one week and found but it will be 1 month before the part will come in. That doesn't even include them fixing the actual car. Didn't even offer me a rental. It's been great.
Takata recall: While I was leaving work for break, it started to pour down raining so I decided to pull into a driveway and turn around but my car wouldn't go in reverse, after so many attempts of trying I tried to get it to go in park and when I did the car kept moving toward the street off the side walk. So since it was still able to drive I pulled out off the curb and went back to work and tried getting it to stop but it kept moving so I turned the car off. After that I was no longer able to start my car and my key remote was stuck in the ignition. Coworkers came to see what the issue was and told me there's a recall when they googled it. The people I've been talking to have been no help and I've been without my car or any assistance for an entire month.
Car will cut off going down road and will not crank back for at least 3 min. I have almost been hit by other traffic on various occasions. This started back in July 2016.dealership says it's a safety to keep car from blowing up when it has low oil. The car burns excessive amounts of oil. Problem is I have oil changed on a regular schedule and between oil changes to prevent car from cutting off in middle of the road I have to put any where from 15 to 25 quarts of oil in. It's getting worse. It's not leaking anywhere. Also sometimes out of no where with my foot not on accelerator it seems to accelerate on it's on. The car also hesitates on takeoff often.
My problem pertains to recall 19V-293 my shift cable bushing broke today while I was shifting from drive to park in a parking garage and according to the Dodge Chrysler Jeep dealership in tallahassee, fl Chrysler has not provided any parts or remedy for the issue which was recalled in April. They told me over the phone that they would charge me at least $450 to repair the issue and that they could not give any estimate as to how long it would take because of the lack of replacement parts available. I was told that I would have to personally seek reimbursement from Chrysler after the repair was completed. I feel that this is completely unreasonable given that a recall was issued nearly three months ago and am reporting what I believe is a failure to adequately provide remedy for the issue in a timely manner.
