My car is ticking on the passenger side. In researching everyone with the same year and model is having the same issue having to replace the cv joint on the passenger side. Super frustrating there has not been a recall on this as it is a known issue. When trying to purchase the passenger cv joint everyone is selling used cv joints for drivers side and there is not options for passenger side.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. When the contact started the vehicle, the gauges made a ticking sound and the instrument panel lights flickered. The contact was trapped in the vehicle and her husband had to use a metal key to unlock the door from the exterior of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The electrical failure continued to occur intermittently. The contact made an appointment to have the vehicle diagnosed. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealer. The contact stated that the engine needed to be rebuilt because the gauge that regulates the temperature was not in the engine. The manufacturer replaced the engine. The contact stated that the vehicle shook and pulled to the left while traveling 55 MPH. While traveling 25 MPH through an intersection, the contact attempted to stop the vehicle, but the brakes failed. As a result, the vehicle struck a curb, which created a gash in the tire and the rim. The approximate failure mileage was 43,000.
