NHTSA — Unknown Or Other Problems

2013 Dodge Dart (Page 3 of 7)

CarComplaints.com Seal Of Avoid Like The Plague

CarComplaints.com Notes: The first year of the new Dodge Dart had a rough start, with owners reporting a disproportionate number of engine and transmission problems.

For transmission, the main complaints are transmission failure & rough shifting. So far, average mileage for transmission failure is 25,000 miles. Not good.

For engine problems, it usually starts with the engine light coming on for any number of reasons: bad sensors, ignition coil replacement, bad wiring, faulty gas cap ... dealers are replacing various components with varying degrees of success, or telling owners they can't duplicate the issue.

V34/NHTSA 19V-293 this recall has been up for a while and I've called several Dodge dealerships to get this repaired, the only answer they give me is to go on mopar recalls and type in my email to get notification when the part is available. I received a letter on May 24, 2019 stating that there is a recall but that there was no remedy and by May 31 they will contact/mail us with a follow up recall. It is June 11,2019 and there is no sign of a remedy or a solution. I drive from riverside to los angeles everyday and with this recall I'm putting my life in danger and also others lives in danger.

I read into this and it states could cause accidents. I have a baby on the way and feel something needs to be done asap! May 24 is when I found I had a recall

I reversed vehicle out of the driveway into the street and as I was shifting into 'drive' the vehicle went into neutral. Shifter moves as normal, vehicle remains in neutral. With this I am unable to turn vehicle off since it will not go into 'park.' Dealerships very unhelpful saying there is nothing they can do and there will be a charge for them to even look at the vehicle. Never doing business with Chrysler ever again. My 2 year old was also in the vehicle, had to put the hand brakes up to stop car from moving.

There is heat that consistently emanates into the car from the area where the wiring harness or fuse box would be. I've had it looked at and mechanics continue to say that the fuse box is fine but there seems to be an issue with the harness. The problems is so bad that the heat over time has led to bad paint damage to the left side of the car. The paint is completely dull. The discoloration is beyond obvious and noticeable. The heat begins to be a problem almost immediately after turning it on.

The shifter cable bushing on the transmission end of the shifter cable which can deteriorate and become detached from the transmission. This condition can result in the inability of the driver to actually shift the transmission, even though the driver may move the shifter handle.

My clutch has fallen to the floor. Cannot shift. Cannot check fluid levels because there is no access. Apparently there is a wide spread problem with this vehicle and this issue but my VIN is not included, therefore I am unable to get any help fixing this. First start up in the morning. Clutch was fine the night before. Clutch is laying against the floor, basically useless.

My daughter just purchased a 2013 Dodge Dart 4 months ago and the transmission control module has already been failing. I know several other 2013 Dodge Darts have had a recall for this and unfortunately my daughters car has not but is having the same issue. They wont pay for it without the recall on that VIN #. I think if there is a defect on these 2013 Darts they all should be recalled

It appears there is an alarming noise coming from the engine when I start the car at degrees lower than 40. This is an intermittent issue but when it occurs I loose power while driving down the road resulting in my RPM's to jump higher than normal accompanied by vibration and rataling coming from under the hood or tire (its hard to tell). From my research, the cold start issue was a recall for 2013 Dodge Dart but it is not showing for my VIN. Could someone please reach out to me reguarding this complaint??
