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.

Battery light comes on. Recall for shifter was fixed, but the fuse box is now burnt. It's is a special part. I think that there is a correlation between the recall then part is inter the battery and near fuse box,

Takata recall. My car gear shift cable came apart while shifting gears to park. I am unable to move from different gears. I have read numerous of reviews concerning the gear shift malfunction once a car reaches 70K miles.
I have had several problems with this car. The main problem is when the oil gets low, the oil light doesn't come on, and the car shuts down. This causes the steering wheel to lock up, and it becomes hard to properly pull the car over safely. When will Dodge recall this engine?!!
I started my vehicle this morning and it started rough and was surging. At takeoff the vehicle was driving strangly. Slowed to make a uturn, turned to the left slightly and my steering wheel locked, car shut down and was barely able to brake to slow down. I almost ran a man over trying to stop as I could not steer. The battery symbol popped up on the dash. I popped car in park. Removed key. Restarted vehicle and it took a good 5-10 seconds before turning over. There was hesitation upon start. After beginning to drive it seemed to be driving normally..this seems to be a bit of a ticking time bomb and a very large safety issue and seems to be a known issue across all models
When starting the car the rpms race on their own. It accelerates on it own. Check engine light is on. Taking multiple times to start the vehicle. This happened in a parking lot. These things are happening randomly.
Driving on the open road the car looses power, can't steer can't accelerate. Very dangerous when traveling at 70 mph even at 35 thru the city. I have noticed online of all the complaints and Dodge just says I don't know what to tell you. This needs to be fixed as some one will die driving these cars in this condition!! read were numerous people have been involved in accidents because of this. Happens more when turning in my case.
The car just will randomly stall. No indication it is going to do this. This car is unsafe. I am to the point I hate driving it. I took it to shop and everyone says nothing is wrong with it. This has happened multiple times. I have only owned the car since 5/19
Takata recall while diving at approximately 30 mph I was taking a left turn into my neighborhood when the vehicle began to accelerate on its own causing me to strike my drivers side front wheel on the curb disabling my vehicle. The motor still continued to rev at a high RPM for 10-15 seconds after impact without the accelerator being touched.
I bought a 2015 Dodge Dart SXT with 32996 miles on it.got the car on 4-4-2017.I had it not even a month and it's been one thing after another with it.first it dont shift properly it gets to a high RPM then it shoot you forward at a fast speed.then a very bad knocking in the front end when you turn the wheel from left to right while parked.the dealership looked at it 3 times and couldn't diagnose it but did tell me it needs two up dates that would fix the shifting issue, then said I needed a new right shift axel and I asked them to check the right hub cause the other shop told me the hub was bad. Well they were right on that. So Dodge fixed those things for me.then said my knocking was from the axel.two days later its still knocking I had another shop diagnose the knocking to it was the (rack and pinion).I took it back to Dodge and told them and they argued and said no that's not it.two days later they ordered a rack and pinion.now the car has been stalling out on me, the shifting problem is back again.one the high way going 75 mph there is a terrible noise coming from tire area along with a vibration that I feel on my feet coming from under the car.going around highway corners the back end feels like it's slides.all this with in 1 month of owning this car.this car is not and never will be safe for my kids and I, no matter how many times they try to fix it.I got invoices and everything document and I will be getting a lawyer for having to pay 15000 for a lemon when I told the dealership I wanted something else cause there is to many things wrong with it when it's only two years old.I was told no its to late I got all the messages saves on messenger from the sales men at the dealership.what do they expect me to do after the warranties up and it still has issues I can't afford that.I bought a new car so I didn't need to put money into it. This car is a lemon@iwillproveit
My car keeps cutting off while I'm driving. The batter light comes on without any warning. After the batter light comes on the only thing I can do is steer, the car starts to slow down, I can't excel at all, raido and all lights cut off as well. Once the car comes to a complete stop, I'll start it back up sometimes it'll start right back up, or I'll have to hold the key down a few seconds for it to start. The car have stopped on me while driving move than 5 times. I took it to the dealership where I purchased the car and the first few time they said after they ran all of the test they couldn't get the vehicle to duplicate the problem. Another time they asked could they keep the vehicle over night and have a mechanic drive the car home and back to work. The next day when I went to go pick up my vehicle they said they kinda-sorta got the car to duplicate the problem those were there exact words. Then they put a monitor in my car they told me to press the button while I was driving if the car was to go out so they can record the problem. The monitor was in my car for about a month and my car didn't duplicate the problem. A few weeks after they took the monitor out my car cut off on me again and took it back to the shop and they ran the same test and they couldn't figure out what's wrong with it. Another time my car went off I toom it back to the shop and it just so happened that my car was halfway empty on oil and they're telling me that my car is cutting off because it needs oil and they were going to monitor the oil. So they sent me back on the road and told me to come back when my car got to a certain amount of miles they had wrote down, when my car got to that amount of miles that they have wrote down I took my car back to the dealership and I told him to tell me if I needed an oil change and they told me I didnt. The car cut off when I was on the highway and on
November 1 2015 while traveling on parkway 376 in pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I became trapped behind a portion of a tree that had made it's way in the lane I enter the parkway. After being forced to stop, and put hazards on and attempt to merge into traffic. I was rear ended by a GMC Envoy traveling at least 55 mph, forcing me into tree I was trying to avoid.my passenger and I left in ems vehicles, my car was returned to monroeville Dodge for repairs. After getting my car back I noticed when it rain, or snow the trunk of car would get wet. Whenever operating the car in speeds 35 mph or more, you could feel air coming through backseat. After returning the car to Dodge for inspection, I was told that they found nothing to cause problem. Car was inspected and pass with only requiring 2 rear tires. August 2 2016, while at a stop sign, a driver driving a 2005 Honda Pilot with original grill, rear ended the car, at this time I drove my car home, in the morning I noticed tires were bent outward. After filing a claim with the driver"S insurance co, I learned that the car was not aligned after rear end hit on Nov 1 2015 that caused car to slam into the tree on parkway. After the insured fix only body, found not responsible for mechanical damage, once again the car was repair without wheel alignment by monroeville Dodge and offered back for operating on road. After taking the repair statement to other auto body repair shops, and pictures of both rear end accidents, I was advised the car could have sustained frame damages from Nov 1 2015, making it unable to be properly align and unsafe for operating. I'm currently still in a rental car my car is still at Dodge with no wheel alignment repairs after neither accident. Dodge has told both insurance companies, (state farm Nov 1 2015, and geico Aug 2, 2016) wheel allignment was not needed. Please help
