I purchased a 2014 Dodge Dart from this business on 08/10/2019. I drove the vehicle for only 1.5 years and then garaged it to give to my daughter later. I put only 20,000 miles on the vehicle. There were several issues during the short time that I had the vehicle. The tire pressure warning went on, and the clutch would stick to the floor. I had the pressure warning 'fixed' at Chrysler World only to have the same malfunction within a week. The clutch issue was due to a recall that I didn't qualify for as I did not purchase the vehicle new from the original dealership. I gave the vehicle to my daughter on 12/18/2023 and the clutch and transmission went out causing her to stop in the middle of the highway. I paid $105 to have the vehicle towed to my local Dodge dealership. The local dealership informed me that the clutch and transmission would need to be replaced for the amount of about $6100. Along with some other recall work on the computer and cat converter which would be free to me. I then emailed and called Chrysler World on 01/02/2024 to see if they would assist with the repair as I felt that this particular vehicle was totally flawed. The salesman advised he would call back on 01/03/24. That would work as I advised my local dealer that I would let them know within a day if they should continue and perform the maintenance. I did not hear from Chrysler World so I did ok the work which is underway. I did receive a call from Chrysler World on 01/08/24. Long after I would have had to let the local dealership know about continuing with the repairs. Chrysler World Indicated that they could not help in any way as it had been too long since the purchase.

Last Thursday, August 3rd, I reversed my car out of my garage. Upon putting it in Drive, the engine light came on as well as the PRND lights illuminated red. As I was driving, I noticed my car felt sluggish to my destination, but I did make it. When I parked, I noticed how jerky the car was when shifting from drive to park. After my appointment, the red PRND lights were gone, with the engine light still on. I had another appointment to get new tires, and the car ran fine this time, except engine light still on. Once my new tires were on, engine light also no longer lit. I took my car to get it diagnosed. It gave out 3 codes; po705-00, p1c86-92, and B1578-2B with the last code indicating problems with my antenna. I checked it, and it appears to be broken in 2 areas. The first code po705-00 indicates failure of the transmission control module; which is strange. There was a related recall in 2019, in which I did take my vehicle into a dealership, and it was supposed to have been taken care of. The code p1c86-92 has to do with the PRNDL Display Circuit Current Out Of Range. I now do not feel safe driving my car, and the dealerships can-??t get me in to look at my car, so I-??ve been calling all over the area to mechanics that specialize in transmission issues. I can-??t in until Sept 6th, and that-??s just for another diagnosis BEFORE ordering parts and giving me a quote. When I first had these issues, I began researching the codes. It seems that there are a LOT of people with Dodge Darts having these exact same issues, but no recall has been issued as of yet. Please take care of this. Mechanics and dealerships are way overbooked, some are no longer taking jobs because they-??re so backed up, and people like myself with no other vehicle will not have transportation. And I live in a rural community. Getting a recall on these transmission issues would be really helpful, as like I stated, many are having these exact problems. Thank you!

Driving down the highway my clutch started sticking, I was able to get it to keep driving at the time as it was unsafe and I was on 95 traveling south. My vehicle was looked at confirmed good and out of no where it entirely went, I then went ro a shop that refused to contact me napleton dodge in Florida while having my car in possession. Due to this entire out of no where no signs of issue on top of the company having ny car for a week and refusing to give me answers so I could try ro figure out ny car. My entire family was at risk as we were lucky to even make it safely to our location.

less than 2 years after purchasing this vehicle brand new my car started consuming oil and actually caused my car to die in the middle of the road. Chrysler ended up completely replacing my engine due to scoring found in the pistons. In the last year I have done another oil consumption and feel just under the threshold of what Chrysler deems "bad enough". They did an update and it has not been a problem since. In the past few months I have been having issues with my car in park not releasing my key. My car will be in park and I can turn it back 1 notch and it gets stuck in the ACC position. Turns out my shifter cable was damaged and I have replaced that with a $500+ repair. Well unfortunately it didn't completely solve my problem and I will still occasionally have the issue and now they are stating I need to completely replace my shifter and knob assembly. The repairs don't seem to stop...

When trying to park the car it doesn-??t necessarily allow you to turn the car off without moving the shifter around until the car is satisfied and allows you to finally shut down. Also the radio seems to just shut off and on once and awhile.

When driving vehicle at 40+ mph and making a turn the vehicle then stalls, loosing power and the transmission will not resume acceleration after turn is completed. We had to pull the vehicle off the road and out of traffic because of power loss. The vehicle check engine light was illuminated prior to experiencing problem. A dealership in Oklahoma City, OK confirmed a transmission malfunction code.

I got a recall letter on my vehicle a few years ago regarding the a powertrain issue, an issue with the transmission control module and mounting bracket. I am sure I took my vehicle in for repairs. The car is now shifting itself into neutral while I am driving, and the only way to get it to drive again is to shift it into reverse, then neutral and back into drive, you can see how this would be a problem when driving on the freeway. I have checked the recall information on vehicle and it says it has been repaired, but the issues is still very present. It always happens when driving, it will sometimes happen as soon as I pull the car out of park.

The clutch pedal began occasionally sticking, sometimes all the way in to the floor, other times halfway and made it difficult to shift. After taking it to the dealer they diagnosed the problem as a known issue with the clutch master cylinder. The issue quickly deteriorated, where it was happening all of the time. Now when I start the car with the clutch in, the safety allows me to start the car, but the car immediately begins to move as if the clutch is not depressed if started in first gear, and then I cannot shift into neutral and need to either be ready to go or shut the engine off so as not to cause an accident. There are no replacement parts available in the marketplace and this is a very dangerous situation to have the car being to move as soon as it is started and not be able to shift back into neutral. I fear there will be several accidents caused by this for anyone not fully aware when starting their car.
