I, sylvia, never received a recall notice on my Dodge Dart 2013 car. I purchased this car on my birthday of Nov. 30, 2013 at carl gregory Chrysler Jeep Dodge hyundl albany, ga. When I go to the shop and change my oil, I will ask the clerk if there a recall on my car. The clerk's answer is no, after looking on her computer. My car stall after start-up as well as hard to start sometime after I put the key in to start up my engine. I am having problem with my car and still paying payments. I purchased this car new and I should not have problems so early in life. Furthermore, I really like my car but having these problems is getting me to not trust my car. Please, look into this issue for me as soon as possible.

As I was approaching a traffic signal, my car lost power and did a half shut off (lost power items, but did not actually lock the steering out as if the car was in park). I was still moving and was doing approx. 20-25 mph when this happened. My power steering, brakes, etc were all lost and there was an overwhelming sound coming from the stereo system (sounded like a bomb going off in the car.). I was able to get the car stopped and pulled over to a turn lane that was not in use without getting hit. Once I got the car stopped, it started back up and I was able to take the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer has not been able to diagnose the problem. This is not my first issue with the car. It also has had 'service transmission' errors and gave us numerous issues on christmas day as it would not start when we were headed home. Each time, the dealership was notified and they had the car for 92 days while they rewired the electrical system. These cars are not safe, even after having the electrical rewired, the car is still sending error messages and now shutting down while driving it. These need to be recalled.

Driving at 30 mph, the lower control arm snapped in two causing the wheel/tire to disengage, turning to a 90 degree angle to the vehicle, which became inoperable. Had the vehicle for 13 days when this happened. Incident is now being investigated by Chrysler.

- Springfield, OH, USA

I purchased this vehicle on 01/22/2013. The first of many incidents happened while driving down a major highway. I was in the fast lane changing lanes and I suddenly had full power loss. I was unable to steer the vehicle and was almost hit by several faster moving cars. The car was also quickly slowing down. I was able to get the vehicle started again and pulled off the highway. As I went to turn into a parking lot this vehicle had power loss again. Between 02/25/2012 and 11/07/2014 and 26,000 miles this vehicle has been in the shop over 10 times. It has multiple power loss issues, and gauge issues. Headlights and turn signals have gone out, and random windows roll down when pushing the buttons. This vehicle is a safety hazard and should be recalled in its entirety. Repair shops tell consecutively that they cannot repair all the issues. It has been in the shop since for 5 days this time and they cannot get the vehicle to start. Shop failed to put power loss issues on first issue on ticket, until it happened a second time on 07/02/2013 while I was in a school zone.

I was coming off the highway and was on the brake slowing my 2013 Dodge Dart from 65 to 40 then to 20 to take a sharp right turn, in the turn the string went dead and for a brief second was unable to turn almost causing an accident with another car and that was the second time that has happen the first was with my whole family, I was driving around in a parking lot. Also this car has an airbag light on for the passenger seat, the car over heats and the backup cam no longer works the battery is now dead and were unable to drive, were out of warranty by a little over 500 miles and the dealership will not fix the issue unless I pay more money to fix this paper weight. I can drive it after getting a jump but the electrical system fail to work the speedometer fades in and out and the gauge drops to 0mph. My car was sold to me after replacing a power control module and has been replaced a second time. This car is not worth the $21000 spent and I should be given back half of my money. My car still overheats after many dealership visits over just that very problem and every time I pick it up it seem like something new I was wrong (( !! I bought this car to travel back and forth monthly from san antonio to ft. Hood for my military obligations im a pissed a veteran who wants my car to work like it was advertised! because that is what I paid for!! ))

While braking, this winter, my ABS would activate causing my dashboard and radio to go blank. It was only until recently that I learned that while the screens are blank and rebooting my cars power steering system is also inactive. After 4 attempts at fixing this issue all the dealership is telling me it that it is a grounding issue.

I purchased a 2013 Dodge Dart SXT multiair turbo 6-speed manual on 11/23/2013 and within a week, I took the car back for service being that the wheel was off-centered to the left and the service department aligned all four wheels. Shortly after that, I began to notice that the steering wheel would stick when I tried to turn as if it had locked while driving straight then unlock when engaged in turning. Also, I noticed that while driving along in 6th gear around 65-70 mph, I would hear a thumping or something going on underneath the car like something was loose, or a flapping sound. I am going to take the car back to the dealership to see if they will do anything about it but have documented the complaint up here for my records. My car only has about 8,500 miles on it and also I see there are recalls on the side airbag, parking brake, and the powertrain. All of these recalls were placed prior to the date of purchasing my car and I will question the dealership asap to see if these things were fixed prior to the purchase of the car. I will submit further updates on this site once I see how this dealership handles this!!!

Not sure if it is a real concern, just checking to see if any one else has had issue with steering, my son drives this car and says when driving, when he goes to turn the steering wheel it is like it is locked -- (example) when went to turn left it would not turn, let off or turn wheel to right then he could go ahead and it would let him turn to left, going to get it to dealer to be checked but I was wondering if any one else has said any thing about the steering on this car? it is a sweet car and this has been the first issue with it. My son said it does not do it all the time. Please let me know if the has been an issue reported or if this is a first. I have been in touch with Dodge an we are getting on top of it. By all means I am not complaining I just was wondering. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The car runs great, but the mpg are around 25.5 to 26.5, the sticker said 24 to 34 mpg. Like two months ago I heard noise like something was vibrating inside of the car, but recently when I make stop, I turned on the air condition and the car started to vibrate in the steering wheel and of course depend of the level of vibration I feel and it is transmitted from the hand to the chest and specially it I am stressed because the traffic I can get nervous, and it is worse when the speed in the A/C is increased.

I was going to pull out of a parking lot onto a busy street. I went to turn the wheel sharply to the right to merge into traffic and the car died as I was trying to merge.I was almost hit by oncoming traffic when it died and this is a serious problem that the dealer always says "we cant duplicate the problem". it has done this a few more times since then and it happens when at a complete stop and turning the steering wheel quickly. It also happens sometimes when backing out of a driveway in reverse then shifting to drive and as soon as you turn the steering wheel the power almost shuts off or it will completely die.

While driving approximately 70 miles per hour down the highway my Dart suddenly lost all power. The steering wheel acted as if there was no key in it and locked up. The breaks slowly applied themselves, and the vehicle would not shift into neutral so that I could move over to the side of the road. I have worked with the company and the dealership and it will not duplicate for any reason. However, I have been having issues with power of the vehicle every month since January. Wither it be not starting or failing to key less start. This is the first time for complete power failure. Chrysler refuses to do anything about it and wants me to drive it around with a black box in it.

As I was driving the Dodge Dart (2013) the lower control arm bolt for the driver side front suspension either broke, vibrated out, or was never screwed in properly at the plant. The car had 400 miles on it. The steering wheel jerked out of my hands to the left (into oncoming traffic). There was grinding and loud noises as I lost control of the vehicle. The tow truck driver said that the car was missing a bolt when he went to hook the chain up underneath the car. The dealership tried pass it off as, "we alligned it and its ready for you to pick up". I told them I knew the bolt was gone because the tow truck company told me it was. I told them I do not feel safe driving this car. I said I do not want to be a statistic in a class action law suit at a later date. Both Chrysler and the dealership refused to address the situation. Lou fusz said it was Chrysler's problem and Chrysler told me to work with the dealership. They said, "thank god you weren't on the highway". we'll I had my family in this car for 2 weeks driving around in a car that could have hurt or killed someone. I had not signed over the paperwork to my Dodge journey yet (which had a class action law suit over the brakes which is why I was wanting to trade it in) but they refused to give me my car back. I said then put me in another car but they wanted to charge me more for the car we wanted. I then asked to give me the cash for the trade in. We have been loyal to Chrysler (purchased 7 new cars over the years). The refusal to offer any type of resolution was unbelievable. They register your phone number in a system so when you call in and ask to talk with a manager they direct you right back to the same department who tell you there is nothing they can do. This is not a customer service or "customer loyalty dept" it is a system of continous denial and hopefully you will just get tired and go away.
