2012 Dodge Dart: multiple warning lights

Filed Oct 16, 2019 · 70,000 miles · MS

The car will not start. All the lights and electrical come on when key is in, but the car doesn't even try to turn over. I already had a sensor replaced that was suppose to be the problem, but it keeps occurring. Gives a warning that states autostick is unavailable, service transmission. It also keeps telling me I have a parking light out, which I don't. The car also has a brand new battery. This needs to be fixed. I am tired of wondering if my car will start when I need to get my children from school.

I have a 2013 dodge dart aero 6 speed manual, dual dry clutch, multi air turbo. I purchased vehicle in february 2017. 4 months later I had brought my vehicle into carsense for an oil change. Meanwhile I asked them to check the brakes also due to braking issues and my ebrake was not working properly and had a mind of it's own. It worked when it wanted to, but yet everything is in "great condition" says carsence.mind you that I had just purchased this vehicle in february and it was recently inspected in january 2017. Service dept. Inspected my brakes and gave me the current measurements of existing brake pads left. About june 2018 I was coming up to a stop sign in a 25 MPH side street with light traffic. I had trouble slowing down to a complete stop. When I managed to come to a complete stop I heard a loud bang. Here my driver's side rear rotor was severely smoking and I noticed my rotor was redhot. My rotor snapped completely in half. My shifter would randomly pop out of gear or the clutch would lightly stick, smelling exhaust odor I'm now pushing 62, 000 miles and what do you know. I am coming home into my development. I'm in second gear turning onto my lane and doing maybe 10 MPH well it decides to pop out of gear and accelerates, redlining second gear(I'm assuming it thinks it's in second) and all dashboard lights are flashing steering wheel it locked. Car is now doing 80 MPH in a 15 MPH zone. My brakes are not working at all brake pedal is harder than hard. I have no control of this vehicle!! Engine finally cuts out after I removed the key from the ignition. Comes to a screeching halt. Thank god. It wont start still to this day..oil in turbo and up the hose. Battery plays dead along with my instrument panel and my transmission needs a computer upgrade that's not even available for the 1.4l turbo engine...it needs a TCM, new master cylinder.

Was driving the car down the freeway when all the warning lights on the dash lit up. The car lost power steering and started to shut down. I had to fight to get it off the road since the power steering was gone. All the lights remained lit up. I believe it's the PCM do to other recall but my car is a manual and the recall is for automatics only.

When you put on reverse gear the gear gives jerk and will not hold,,,car has to be restarted and put in reverse gear again...all the lights indication on gear turns red...dodge don't resolve this issue...they just say it is sensor...but it is transmission issue...

When starting to slide on ice a notification flashes where your mileage should show but it disappears so quick due to the fact that the engine shuts down for a few seconds along with all electrical inside and outside of the vehicle ( no speedometer no stereo no touch screen no lights in or out) however while sliding if you let your foot off the break the engine and all the lights seem to reboot and the car gains power again. Not safe and scary as hell when driving in a upstate ny snow storm

9/03/15 my transmission went out without warning while going approx 65 MPH on the highway. Rpm's shot up and the trans went out instantaneously. I was able to pull over, engine and trans lights came on, car would not go in any gear. I shut the car off and was not able to restart it, meanwhile I sat like a sitting duck waiting for a tow truck, hoping that the speeding cars and semi trucks approaching would not crash into me. I had the car towed to a dealer. Dealer said the cause was a flashed PCM, it was reprogrammed I was told it fixed the problem. On 9/05/15 1 hour after coming home from work the car would not start again. Dealer was closed for the weekend so I let it sit for a while, 2 hours later the car started but would not go in reverse, an hour later, the car had reverse but no drive.the next morning the car started, all lights were off and all gears worked and I was able to drive it to the dealer. The dealer said codes were now showing it was the trans range sensor. Got the car back for the 2nd time on sept.16. Sept.19 I was driving home from work in the next state, the trans went out again while going 65 MPH on the highway again! This time I was left stranded over 70 highway miles from home. After waiting a few hours I was finally was able to drive home, taking take side roads in case the car stopped again. What should've been a 1 1/2 hour ride home on the interstate took me over 5 hours driving on side roads. This car is going back to the dealer again for the 3rd time in 2 1/2 weeks! This is unacceptable, there are too many reports involving this issue on several websites I do not feel safe driving this car anymore or having my wife and kids in it. This is an extremely serious safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately! Something needs to happen before (not after) this "known" transmission stalling issue causes a serious accident and kills someone!

Issues with transmission, gears and power. After parking my car and attempting to restart the car would not turn on, multiple lights came on the dash board, and message read that my car did not recognize the gear. Was not able to start car. It was towed to the dealership. On another occasion, I was driving about 30 MPH and my car stop working, lost all power and it took about 5 minutes before I was able to use the gears. On multiple occasions the car wont recognize the gears used and it will act as though it is in neutral. I have also experienced a decline of power while driving as well as back firing in the engine when cylinders misfire. Heated seats don't always work and the key fobs don't always work.
