Took my vehicle in to have the shifter cable replace due to a current recall. My car would not come out of park because of this, the dealership said that it was fixed but a day later it happened again. I took it back and they had it a day and a half, they finally called to tell me that now my transmission shifter solenoid was bad and that it would be $800 to fix. I took the car immediately to another mechanic because the dealership said that it wasn't part of the recall and I didn't want to pay that amount if I didn't have to. The other mechanic told me to take it back to the dealership after he looked at it because more than likely they caused the damage when they were replacing the bushing. I called and spoke to the manager and he told me that the tech said they didn't damage it and that the recall was all they were told to fix and that they weren't told to fix the issue with the car not coming out of park. I have the paper work that states why the car was there and it states that, that was the reason I brought it in. I've never had so much trouble with a car before. Dodge should have never sold these vehicles. In 2015 they had to replace my entire transmission due to a recall and my vehicle randomly stopping while driving. This vehicle is extremely unsafe. The cruise control has worked intermittently since I bought it new in 2013 and I took back and they said it was fine. My check engine light comes on every other time I get gas telling me that there's a problem with the cap which there isn't, I had it checked.

I took my car in for a recall and as of may 13th I'm still without my vehicle and still having to make the payment plus insurance. I don't know when I will get my car but it has been in the shop enough times I filed for a breech of warranty but chrysler only offered me 4000 take away the 2000 for attorney fees so 2000 is what I would have walked away with. I did not accept the offer and now I'm trying to figure out what to do. My car doesn't have a remedy for the issue but it's had transmission problems since day 1 had new engine new turbo new starter new gaskets new radiator and much more and nothing has been because of neglect. I truly feel I have a lemon on my hands and need help getting into a safe car. The dealership won't do anything about it told me to get a lawyer so I did but unless we agreed on an amount they wouldn't proceed. My car is unsafe to drive and I'm trying to get a lawyer that can take care of this or help me get a safer car for me and my kids.*dt consumer stated PCM/TCM has been a recall in the past engine light being on is code p2096 which caused leak in one of the hoses.*jb

Dodge darts of this model year including mine have a problem with the turbocharger. Problems within the setup create a "turbo underboost" condition, which prompts a check engine light, and throws the car into limp mode. This is often accompanied by a lack of power from the engine and a rough idle, or stalling at idle. In my case it happened while I leaving a city, and I did not have the power to accelerate to highway speed. After pulling over and re-starting the car, this issue is temporarily resolved. This is such an issue with this model year that there is a north america wide back-order on the new-turbo with this issue corrected. For many like me, this expense is out-pocket or for a lucky few, still covered by factory warranty. I believe that the frequency and severity of this issue warrants a recall and proper fix if the turbocharger setup. The issue is corrected on 2014+ model years, which is an indication that fca was aware of the issue.
