Recall #r42 was issued concerning the TCM of vehicle. This item failed on my car on , november 17 2015 causing transmission to disengage whilst I was driving in traffic. Dealer installed temporary fix but has not been able to complete repair as of today's date, feb 19 2016.
Shift cable broke at 51000 miles when shifting from reverse to drive. Vehicle stuck in reverse. Occured while back out into traffic situation safety issue as it failed with no warning or indication of failure. Fortunate that it failed under these circumstances. Chrysler says that it is not part of power train and not covered by warranty. Cannot believe this is normal life expectancy of crucial control component.

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

I have had my dart for almost 2 1/2 years and it has been a problem from the start. I have had my TCM replaced, transmission, 2 clutches, numerous codes and speakers, gas cap, and multiple recalls. It has been in the shop over a dozen times and for over 30 days. I have had problems the entire time I have owned the car and am currently in my second time of dealing with chrysler to buy back my vehicle and they still are not doing a thing about it. With the vehicle not shifting right and losing power and now my defroster is going out also the recalls on it but they have no fix for I refuse to let my newborn son be in my vehicle and chrysler definitely knows about it yet wont do anything about it even tho it is a lemon.
