Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. While driving 65 MPH, the vehicle began to hesitate without warning. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v293000 (power train). The contact stated that cummins chrysler (located at 4901 e main st, weatherford, ok 73096, (580) 772-5086) exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that the part was not available for the repair. The failure mileage was 76,208. Parts distribution disconnect.*dt*dt consumer stated I just heard from the dealership about my car the part that was ordered came in mail and was already broke and the part that the previous dealership had put in was also broke as well. So I'm not sure if this part that is for the transmission is just that fragile that it cant even make it through the shipping process but I wanted to make aware that the part must have some kind of defect for it being the 3rd one and this last one was never even put on my car as it came in the mail already broke.*jb consumer stated there was transmission issues at least 16 times.

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.

Vehicle will hesitate then proceed as normal. Hesitation may occur as many as 5 times before car runs normally.

While vehicle was in motion and I proceeded to make a right hand turn the vehicle stalled out causing me to shift the gear into park before starting the vehicle back up. But as I tried starting the vehicle it hesitated to start and I had to wait a moment maybe three to seven minutes before I was able to get the vehicle started again only to have it stall out again while making another right hand turn. I also noticed the interior lights flashing on the dash as well as a blinking check engine light appearing.

While my mother was driving her 2013 dodge dart with only 17,000 miles on it the car went into neutral on its own. The car was running and the shifter selector was in drive...but the dash showed "n" for neutral and the car would only rev and go nowhere. The shift handle could be moved to any position but the trans stayed in neutral. Car had to be towed to the dealer. I let them know that I saw there was a recall r42 for this type of problem. Dealer said our car was not part of the recall. We did bring the car to them 6 months prior to this because we reported the transmission was hesitating on acceleration...at that time the car only had 12,500 miles on it...they said they could find nothing wrong. This is a huge safety problem, if she had been pulling into traffic from a stop this could have caused a horrific accident. Again this happened while driving in motion, luckily in the mall parking lot and not on a major intersection...very dangerous.

Takata recall - on 8/9/2016 I purchased this vehicle from a used car dealership. The gear shift/clutch skips, sticks, and jumps, whenever I move it from park to reverse or drive. This happens consistently. Also, the car was sold to me with a dry cable brake wire, which caused the vehicle to make a very loud noise. I reported these issues to the dealer that I purchased this vehicle from, they lubricated the brake cable wire, however, they said that this is normal for dual clutches to do this - skip, jump, and stick. Also, the vehicle hesitates to accelerate, and the dealer that I purchased the vehicle come said this is normal. This car had low mileage on it at the time of purchase (38,013), I have filed a claim against dodge, because I think this is a major safety issue. Also, I discovered that the previous owner of this vehicle had experienced numerous problems since the time that he purchased this vehicle, which the vehicle had 0 miles on it at that time, and even he filed a claim against dodge for the very same problems, plus for other component failures since the day that he purchased it.

The vehicle while in park and with the emergency break on , popped out of gear and the ebreak failed and the car rolled down the drive with my 2 year old daughter in the car, I was getting her out and she was unbuckled when the car started to roll back, it went down the drive across the road jumped the curb and stopped short of crashing into our neighbors house. Luckily my daughter held on and wasn't injured yet could have been killed. Other major issues: the reverse lever doesn't work so when I go to shift into first it goes into reverse without having to pull the lever up, I have multiple times thought I was in first and started to go backwards. Major safety issue. The passenger visor fell off when I put it down it just fell off, the dealer charged me $171 to reinstall, I've researched this issue and its very common in this make and model yet dodge does nothing. The interior lights no longer work. Within 2 years we have replaced 6 tires, the stock wheels all had bubbles in the wheel within a year needing replace. The dealer did nothing. The car backfires when I shift, and hesitates when driving like it slipping and cant get up to speed. Since owning this vehicle we have had nothing but problems and nothing is being done to assist us. We believe the dealership where we bought it new has somehow tampered with their cars so that they get more business when things break, we believe this because its our 2nd car from them and our other car was sold to us with completely rotted out sub frame which almost killed my wife and family, and the dealer knew it was bad and lied on inspection. That was replaced thanks to the federal safety agency, but have no assistance with this vehicle. The dealership is david dodge, in pa. Our dodge is very unsafe and we are afraid to put our kids in this car even after the dealer is saying they are "fixing the problems" which we don't believe to be true

Electrical system inside car shuts off and turns back on repeatedly, even if I am only going 2 miles down the road. The fuel and engine tie together as one; immediately after starting the vehicle the exhaust lets out a very strong odor that continue's for the entire duration of any trip. Then when accelerating using automatic drive or even the dry clutch the exhaust makes a loud rattling noise as it switches from gear to gear. Also, during driving the engine or transmission feels like it is slipping and has hesitation when you accelerate after stopping completely.
