'takata recall' have had my car almost 2 months now and never had a problem. Drove smooth. This morning on the way to work still no problems what so ever. Not even the slightest to make me think there was one. Then when I left to get lunch and stuck in reverse it jumped. I brushed it off thinking it wasn't major since it was one time deal. Then as driving I could feel the transmission starting to slip. So I had to turn back and park it as is.

Now my car keeps slipping into neutral well I'm on the freeway going abouy 75/80 mpg. Now it's doing it constantly. This has been going on since I bought the vehicle brand new in 2014.

When trying to accelerate it is very hesitant to go, then it will over rev and the rpms will go up but it will not go any faster. It will only happen it second and third gear

This is a breif summary. There's more details concerning this car that room here doesn't provide. The dual dry clutch shifting failures and hill start assist are addressed here: The car does not immediately move forward when you apply the throttle it can take from 2-4 seconds to go forward when you step on the gas. Not 'turbo lag'. that adds to the time to go forward. Pulling out into traffic or changing lanes can get you killed because it delays throttle response until the computer decides to go. Sometimes turbo, sometimes not at the same throttle position. When coming off the brakes then pressing the throttle, delay and sometimes inappropriate gear selection causes erratic driving behavior. In turns the car comes out of gear on its own with no indication. Step on the gas and the engine revs high in neutral. Now it's coasting through the turn before it will engage in [a] gear. You can seldom 'drive through a turn'. this happens around a normal street corners, and in sweeping turns when you're traveling at 40 mph out of gear. Engaging gears at this point is unpredictable as to which gear the car will select. The 'hill start assist' (hsa) braking program; when stopped pointing uphill, this 'feature' is intended to hold the brakes on for 3 seconds preventing the car from rolling backwards when you move your foot from the brake peddle to the gas peddle. If the hsa fails you have no control over when, or if, the clutch engages into gear. The hsa program in this car randomly fails to hold on a hill. When this happens the ddc also fails to engage in gear. The car totally fails to move forward and rolls backwards revving in neutral toward the cars coming up behind you. You have pressed the gas to go forward and now you're going backward revving in neutral. I now refuse to drive this car. It will sit unused until resolution of this issue. This car needs to be crushed.

Driving a manual.. my reverse cable lockout broke, I went to a Dodge dealership an it shows up on their computer of what I need. But you can not buy it. They say its a after market product. Then when I went to about every auto parts store. They dont even know what im talking about. An it is a safety issue. It basically looks like a bicycle brake cable regardless I have to drive my car. So I have a zip tie down where my shifter is holding the lock out wide open. I have to be careful not to be in reverse when I need to be in 1st. I need to know where to go to fix this issue or if Dodge is going to finally admit that its a manufacturer defect as im not the only person that this has happened to. If and when I want to sale my car. How is this gonna be possible. It lowers the value right now! when this happened it was June 17 2017 at a gas station in pa needless to say, when I live in al.. I went to back out an when I lifted up on the knob. I had nothing.. something needs done.

It was September 23rd around 11pm, I was driving on a highway, upon turning into the exit lane my car hit some form of pothole which made my touch screen and dashboard turn off and back on. I've had issues with my touch screen shutting off and back on in the past, once I've replaced the battery it worked fine until that day, then it started acting up again so before all of this I did set up a car appointment for it to get checked out 2 days earlier. So anyway, as I'm driving, I arrive to my destination. I sat in the car for a while on my phone and decided to turn on my air. When the air came out it smelled very smokey. So I turned it off and about 5 minutes later, a very light mist began to come out of the drivers side hood. So I decided to just head home instead because I didn't want to be stuck somewhere and I not have a ride home, my house wasn't that far from my location. So the further I'm driving I noticed the smoke began to pick up a bit so I cut my hazard lights on. I'm about 5 minutes away from my house at the point. So I'm driving down the ramp to merge into the highway and the smoke got so thick to where I could no longer see so I'm pushing down the breaks to slow the car down and find my way to the side of the road but then my car locks up and shuts down. I couldn't turn the wheel, gas or break or anything. When I could glimpse through the smoke I noticed a fire was coming from my hood, so into moving traffic on the highway going about 40 miles an hour I hopped out of my car and it rolled a little over 100 feet to almost the yellow line (it was still blocking one lane). Witnesses called the cops and the fire department put the flames out.I reached out to my car company and they said since my car wasn't insured, that basically I'm out of luck. I have scratches and scars still from the day of the incident and I'm not sure what else to do ## VIN passed ## Dodge Dart 2013 ##

2013 Dodge Dart. Consumer writes in regards to defective clutch system. The consumer stated after approaching a red light, the clutch stuck to the floor. Also, the turbo charger failed and needed to be replaced. An O-ring melted which caused oil to leak onto all of the spark plug tubes and destroyed the oil separator. The vehicle was repaired. The consumer requested to be reimbursed. Updated 09/25/2017

Before moving from New Mexico to Minnesota we had our 2013 Dodge Dart's oil change and car checked over by a Dodge authorized dealership. While driving on sd hwy 212 up a hill shifting down to 5th the clutch pedal stuck to the floor. So I forced it into 5th before it rolled down a sharp hill. (please note Dodge says there is nothing wrong but there are so many complaints). Dodge claim that clutches just go out like this with out any warning and it would not be covered. I have owned many manual cars and have never had any clutches wear out. My car only had $40,000 miles. I left the car behind in North Dakota because we were moving to Minnesota. They informed us it would be over a week to fix. I will have to drive back over 6hours (12 hours total trip) and pay for a new clutch that is probably just as bad. I think that the clutch going out with out warning is a big safety hazard.
