I had took my car to chrysler in biddeford in may 2017 c/o that my e-brake was not holding my car. Once I got the car back I could hardly lift the brake. I went back in and asked why it was that way, they stated that it would loosen up as I use it. I used the brake a couple of months later and it went up about an inch. The next time I used it was in february and when I pulled up on the brake level it went straight up. I called and left numerous vm. No one called me back. I went back in on a saturday for my oil change. I talked to a rep there and they stated that they would leave a note for someone to call me back on monday. I never received a call back. I finally got someone to make an appt for me to bring my car in. Once they found out I no longer had the b to b warranty they stated that I would have to pay almost $500. I called and left a msg for the gm and I got a call back from the sales manager wanting me to traded my car in. I stated to him I thought he was calling about the brake. He stated to bring it in and they will put it on the lift while I talk to sales. The rep came back and stated do you know that your brake does not work. Made an appt for a diagnostic which I had to pay for and they ordered a part for my car. I had to take my car back to be looked at bill dodge and they stated that my brake was not working and that my calipers where sticking. I brought the car back in and they stated I needed one of my calipers changed. I stated I just changed one this summer make sure you get the right one. I picked up my car and took my car to my friend in nh. His mechanic again stated that my brake was not fixed and that the e-brake is causing the calipers to stick. I got my car back and a week later (03/01/2019) I was in an accident where a car hit my driver's door doing about 35+. My air bags never went off. I have 4 airbags and not one went off. Other cars did.

I bought this car from the dealer in 2013 and every so often the air bag light goes off. When it was under warrantee the replaced the air bags and it helped but the light goes on all the time. I have looked on line and many other owners have this same problem. Some say its connected to an issue with wires in the a or b pillar. I have talked to the dealership and they do not want to do anything since its not under warrantee.

Service airbag indicator light keeps randomly (starting, motion, stationary, any time) coming on, took my car to the dealership and after hours of diagnostic testing they came up with that I need a new seat air bag. I know many other chrysler products have had recalls for air bag malfunctions and upon doing research, discovered other 2013 dart owners have had similar or worse issues with their air bag systems. I also discovered that 421 2013 dodge dart mopar 13 special-edition models were recalled due to potential air bag problems, but it was stated only the special edition models were affected. Did these 2013 models really have different air bag systems than the rest of the 2013 darts?

The airbag light comes on anytime the outdoor temperature is above around 85 degrees. The dodge dealership says nothing is wrong, but the light still comes on. My car was in the shop multiple times for issues with the electrical system. The battery has been replaced 2-3 times since 2013. Interior lights sometimes flicker. The navigation system resets itself randomly and now it can't "find" the maps. They are just gone somehow. The sd card slot works sometimes and not others, same with the backup camera. Dodge has been completely unable to fix these.
