Shifter cable came apart again this has been our third time dealing with this situation. I was in the parking lot and tried to reverse but the shifter wouldn't move to reverse so it just stayed on park and the next was worse my car scatched the side of the wall due to the shifter going bad. I don't think I should be responsible for keep dealing a situation that the makers already knows about..
I started the car moved the shiftier to reverse took foot off brake started to reverse slowly. The car jumped forward on to curb and grassy area destroying under body shields maybe because of recall 19V-293

"takata recall" I have a 2015 Dodge Dart with 55,000 miles on it. I have had some issues with it stalling while stationary. Now on 2 separate occasions it has stalled while going 40+ mph. This could be very dangerous it this happens with traffic around me.
My car shut off on its own while I was driving to work, so we were in motion. It has now happened 4 times to me in a span of 3 weeks. I can either be driving during the day or night. It will happen in the middle of driving or when I come to a stop sign and adding pressure to the brake. Once it happens, and if I put it in park as well, the stick shift will lock up as well. Again this has now happened 4 times to me while driving and coming to a stop.
No check engine or warning light driving on the interstate in 6th gear car blew up loud noise and caught on fire! only 85,000 miles with regular services. Lost all power and clutch pedal dropped to the floor and coasted to shoulder with a lot of smoke coming from engine opened the hood and there were flames where transmission fluid goes. I had noticed the transmission was slipping a couple days prior but it was christmas time so thought I could have it looked at afterward.
While driving down the road my Dodge Dart without any indication completely dies and I have no control over the vehicle when it does so. We were on our way to bring our kids to school on yadkin road in fayetteville North Carolina and almost got hit by an oncoming vehicle because we could not get out of the way on this small street the car is a 2015 Dodge Dart and only has 16,000 miles on it and it was serviced by the dealership for all fluids
Placed car in reverse and it would not shift gear to drive. Unable to remove the car had to push the vehicle to the side of the road and was unable to take the key out, until 6 hours later unable to shift any gears car ran all night until the battery died. I was on a city street working fine without a problem until poof it would not allow me to shift to drive.
Car stops without warning, will not accelerate and dies, no warning indicators beforehand, only popping the battery light after it stops accelerating. Was trying to merge onto the highway at the time. Radio, interior lights, and emergency flashers still worked, engine would not restart. Car had to be towed home for repairs. Problem was not battery related.
The trunk goes crazy popping open over and over and the only way to close it and to keep it shut is to have your car in drive or reverse with the emergency brake set which is not safe at all especially with children in the car!
I had just came home and ran into my house to grab something and immediately returned back to the car and when I started the engine and attempted to put my car into drive the light on the gear shift for neutral lit up. The car is now stuck in neutral and the key will not come out of the ignition due to it being in neutral. We have called several numbers for Dodge and they are telling us that the car is not qualify for the recall because the VIN is not showing up with a recall even though the sight shows that there is a recall for the exact issue for 2011 - 2015 Dodge Darts. We need assistance with this because if they know these cars have this issue there is no way they should be telling us that this car does not qualify for the recall. Please help.
When braking, brakes feels hard and require significantly more force to activate. A hissing sound is occurring and brake force will often not engage until halfway into the petal. The issue has been resolved by my mechanic, but according to him and some research I've done online, this seems exactly like an issue with the Dodge Dart 2013 recall for the same part. As taken from Dodge's site: The brake booster on your vehicle may experience engine oil migration from the vacuum pump, through the vacuum supply tube, and into the brake booster. Prolonged brake booster diaphragm exposure to engine oil could cause the diaphragm to fail. This could lead to a loss of brake booster assist and/or an air leaking sound. A loss of brake booster assist could require the driver to apply additional brake pedal force to stop the vehicle. The lack of brake booster assist could change the braking characteristics of the vehicle and cause a crash without warning. I'm putting in this complaint with the hope to avoid others from accidents and ultimately to hope to get a refund from the service and parts I had to get into my current car. I recognize that the dot is not responsible for a refund but would be instrumental in having Dodge issue a recall if enough other 2015 Dodge Dart owners complain about this as well. Thank you
I was driving and came to a 4 way stop sign, after completely stopping I proceeded to pull off. As I began to turn the car slowed down tremendously and come to a complete stop and the red battery light came on. I was unable to start the car back up until about 15 to 20 minutes later. Every day following this day, the car began to start up and stop after going only a few feet with the engine light coming on.
I was stopped at a 4way stop and when I tried to move forward the car stalled on me and did not move. I pressed on the brakes, let go and pressed on the gas again and it did the same thing but this time the dash read "gear not available, switch to neutral and then to drive or reverse." I did that but it still stalled on me and then the dash read "service transmission" and the engine light came on as well. After one more try I managed to get it to move so I just parked it in an empty parking slot and called my dealerships service department. The car was towed to the dealership and as I type this I'm awaiting a call from the service department of my dealership so they can tell me what went wrong. I hope it can be fixed.
