I was backing out of a parking space at a coffee shop and my car stalled and wouldn't shift gears. Finally was able to get it towed due to a recall on the vehicle and was told it would be a week to get it back. Received a phone call exactly at one week and found but it will be 1 month before the part will come in. That doesn't even include them fixing the actual car. Didn't even offer me a rental. It's been great.

Power train recall....I was backing out of my driveway into the road and the recall item for transmission. The electronic device came off and the transmission would not shift into any gear and I got stuck in the middle of the road I live on while traffic was trying to get through. My car would not go in reverse or drive. I got it pulled back into my driveway and a nice gentlemen that helped looked at my car and realized that the power train was not attached.

Takata recall - my airbag light has come on and will not go off. Along with the swiggly road light. No one understands why they are on. The other issue being the shifter cable of the car, I have used my shifter and the car does not actually shift in motion on the highway. My breaks, however, did work so I used them. I believe this was unsafe because on the highway people drive very fast. If I was trying a manual Dodge Dart I would not have been able to stop. After this happened I stopped using the manual shifter while driving. When I put my car in park or reverse however it shifts very abruptly. This has happened for a while now but I thought it was because my foot wasn't on the brake hard enough but it continued to happen.

Recall number: 19V-293 at the beginning of November 2018, I drove up to my house in the driveway, shifted into park, let my foot off the brake, and my car started rolling backwards! I tried shifting into drive again then to try to move it into park again but the light on the dash showed still in park, even though the shifter was in drive. I had to use the emergency brake to stop it from rolling away. The next day, I had it towed to the dealership (courtesy Chrysler Jeep Dodge in tampa, fl) but they said it was no longer covered under warranty and that in order for it to be repaired, I had to purchase the gear shift cable and it would cost me over $500 to replace it. I was furious as this is way outside of my budget. I was able to purchase a transmission shift cable bushing repair kit for $35 off of amazon. My husband and I were able to replace the bushing and it works fine (for now) but my concern is wondering, with this recall, if something is causing the bushing to wear down and break, causing these issues or potentially causing a vehicle crash. I just found out about this recall this month (June 2019) and apparently it's been ongoing since, at the latest, 2016"? and the dealership knew nothing about it" unbelievable. If the status is "recall incomplete, remedy not yet available" and it's been 3 years, the manufacturer should be able to allow us to trade the car in to a Dodge dealership for another vehicle that doesn't have a chance to cause this malfunction with a potential for a vehicle crash, without us getting the worse end of the deal.

I pulled up to my job and placed my car into park. I felt my car start to coast backwards so I placed my foot on the brake placed my car in what it felt was reverse and back into park. I noticed when I changed shifts the lights on the shift were not changing and it felt like my shift handle wasnt attached to anything. I contact Dodge dealership in regards of recall number V34 (NHTSA 19V-293) was advised that the parts are available but Dodge has not made parts with recall numbers located on them. The two locations I have called and spoke with both advised they are unsure when the parts will come, but I have the option to pay out of pocket ($500) and get reimbursed at a later time.
