My 2016 Dodge Dart has been sitting at a local dealership since very beginning of June 2019- due to V34 NHTSA 19V293 transmission shift cable bushing recall! a very scary situation directly related to recall actually happened to me while I was in vehicle on May 31st. I still have not even received a 'recall notice' from Chrysler nor any phone or email communication unless I initiated it. I had to beg the local dealership (whom I bought car from 1 yr ago) to get me into a loaner or rental vehicle! im still in it ! and no explanation from anyone !! I share a vehicle with my 18 yr old daughter & legally I don't believe she is to be driving this rental (due to her age). I need answers pleae ! getting my vehicle back 'safely repaired' or getting me into another vehicle at Chrysler's expense needs to happen asap - to avoid me contacting an attorney.

Car randomly shuts off while driving, whether it is in motion or stationary. Happens on streets and when turning. Bought the car brand new and we have brought the car to the dealership twice for this issues. They can not tell us what is wrong or what is causing this. After today's visit I stated to them that this will not happen again right, and I was told L cant promise you that, and that they do not know what is causing the problem. I said that I have seen on the internet reports of this happening to the same type of car and why is there not a recall.
