Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. While driving, the traction control warning indicator illuminated and the rearview camera was working intermittently. The vehicle was taken to smith haven chrysler jeep dodge ram (794 jericho turnpike, st james, ny 11780, (631) 863-2000). The contact informed the dealer that she received a recall notice for the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v293000 (power train). The contact asked if the recall repair could be performed since she was already present; however, she was informed that the part was unavailable for the recall repair. Three hours after leaving the dealer, the contact attempted a u-turn, but had to back the vehicle up to complete the turn. When the vehicle was placed back in drive, it would not go forward. The contact waited until the traffic slowed down and then drove in reverse to get the vehicle onto the side of the road. The vehicle failed to turn off. The contact stated that the gear shifter could shift to other gears; however, the vehicle still drove in reverse. After three hours, the driver was able to power off the engine. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the failure was related to the recall. The dealer stated that there was a temporary remedy, but it was on backorder. The manufacturer was notified multiple times of the failure and provided case number: 59500279. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.

While driving the screen will randomly go completely black and then start flickering white - my dash is now doing the same, simultaneously. However, the screen lights (speed, miles, mpg, etc) stay dim to where I can't even read what is says. My speedometer and gauges will give out and then proceed to quickly flicker up and down. After about 30 seconds of this happening, the whole electronic system resets itself. This has happened 5 times within the last two days, within a maximum of 4 total hours driving time. When starting my car, it hesitates to start - it makes clicking noises prior to actually starting. The battery is fairly new as well. My center console randomly stops working, I have zero control over the radio / climate function. Even after disconnecting the battery, the problem resumes. The uconnect doesn't work - no phone system, or bluetooth music. The back-up camera has completely gone out. There seems to be several issues with the dodge dart that go unsolved and are a huge safety risk.

My car will hesitate to speed up, and feels like the transmission jumps randomly while driving. Last year, it got stuck in neutral when I parked - wouldn't go into drive although I could move the gear shifter. Ongoing electrical issues with backup camera and uconnect.

During cold weather of 20 f or lower remote start, push start, and main dash/touch screen will not work correctly. Car will not correctly start by remote/push start and stalls out periodically despite having been serviced for recall associated with this issue. Main dash/ touch screen will not turn on at car start which makes heat/cooling/radio/rear camera/ seat heating inaccessible and uncontrollable. Multiple restarts does not fix the problem and while driving it will not come on. Anything controlled by dash/touch screen is locked to the settings they were last time the dash/ touch screen was accessible. Actual controle knobs do not work when dash/touch screen is not functional. If systems do not work correctly at start they do not work correctly after driving and 'warming' up the engin. This car is located in michigan.

My car is currently drivable however I recently found out that I need the oil pressure monitor replaced along with the wiring in the steering system due to oil damage from the oil pressure monitor being broken. The radio and rear view camera also need to be replaced. These are too many issues for a fairly new vehicle. Apparently there have been numerous changes complaints about this vehicle but I'm continuously being told that there are no recalls despite ongoing issues with the vehicle that have to deal with manufacturing issues. The radio started malfunctioning over a year ago. The windshield wipers/oil pressure switch issues have only been happening approximately 2 months. The rear view mirror stopped working today. The car has also has issues stall no, not starting, and cutting off while the car is stopped for about a year now.

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.

The fuse that powers the rear backup camera failed twice within one year. This particular fuse is buried somewhere in the dash and requires tremendous time and effort to change. Luckily I was under warranty both times but no more. I am concerned it will continue to happen outside the warranty.

When I start my car the GPS/radio screen does not turn on, the back up camera, blinkers, lights and windows, A/C, radio will not work, sometimes for a matter of seconds or my entire drive. It is unsafe to turn, hot in the car on 90 degree weather and just annoying, I have called the dealership to assess this issue, it has been going on and off for the last 3 weeks, approx. One week after I purchased this vehicle. The 1st and second gears also do not work well, I have a very difficult time getting it in 1st gear and it will stall out. The second gear is jerky. The acceleration has decreased over the short time I have been driving this vehicle. Overall not the best vehicle I have driven. I feel very unsafe in it but have a large loan to pay on it.
