I went to get a recall fixed for my vehicle and I was told that the bushing you're fix the recall is on back order for over a month. I then explained that the part has already failed and that this car is the only car that I have to get to and from work, to drop my wife off at work, and to make sure my daughter gets where she needs to go. I told them that I have no other means of transportation and my car currently won't run because of the safety recall that I was trying to get fixed. Perkins motors in colorado springs told me that there was nothing they could do and told me to take my car with me which I had towed there. My complaint is that they failed to help me get my problem resolved in a timely manner and they offered no other advice to try to get my car up and running again.
I was driving my brother to work tonight 10/22/19 at 11:50pm. I pushed the clutch pedal in to down shift because we saw a deer in front of us and it came back out. Then as soon as it came out it slowly got sucked to the floor. It is still stuck to the floor. I can pull it back but as soon I push o. It it just gets sucked back to the floor. I tried uploading a picture but it wouldn't allow me to.
I bought this car new in 2013. Few months after, the first issue appeared, it shifts to neutral while I am driving. It has put me in very dangerous situations many times. I got a recall, and fixed. After a while another issue popped up, the shift lever can be moved to d but the transmission stayed in p. Again many times I got stuck in the road, in bad situation. I had to check with a mechanic and spend around $500 to replace the shift cable. The problem was solved for few weeks, and appeared again. And then the second recall came. I took my car to the dealer (safford springfield va) and got fixed, but for 2 days only, and the problem has worsen. I called the dealer to bring the car to be checked. I was told the shift cable is ok. But why it has worsen after the shift cable was "fixed". After 2 days "service transmission" popped up. I drove my car to the same dealer and after one hour I got called to inform me that my car needs transmission replacement for $8500. It is nightmare I had with this junk. The transmission is very bad since the first day. I need to an explanation and a solution to this issue. If I don't hear from you I will rise this issue to the court.

After 5 months of my car being in the shop at cummins dodge in weatherford ok they brought it to me today stating it was ready and fixed. They were suppose to fix the recall it had. I noticed the shifter knob did not indicate what gear it was in so I called steve at cummins and asked him why it was not showing what gear it was in. Steve stated he would have to get back with the technician and get back with me and did not call back. I had doug gray technician come take a look and he stated they did not fix the recall and also stated that it was a very serious safety hazard right now because since they did not fix it the shifter knob can be engaged into gear without keys being in the vehicle. He said for example if your daughter was to go to the car to get something and accidentally hit the shifter knob iit would go into gear and roll away. He stated that he can put it in gear without turning car on which is very dangerous. They brought me my car today because I refused to drive it home and had no intentions of driving it until I get answers.

Feels funny when you shift gears
I purchased my dodge dart at 21,000 miles. 30,000 miles car shuts off on highway. Total power loss. Dodge was able to limit the problem however ran rough and at about 45000 miles car shifted hard now at 70000 dodge tells me it's the transmission valve body. 3,000 dollar repair. At this point car is not worth 3000. Still shuts off completely while driving. Transmission control module is recalled for the 2013 dart however not my VIN# ????? I see tons of people with the same issues even cases against dodge for this model. However they are unwilling to help me out with any issues I bring to their attention. Unfortunate. For me.

The transmission shift cable bushing broke and the car is stuck in reverse and unable to drive or turn off. The vehicle is in my driveway. Recall is already issued but would have been nice to receive the letter before 2 days ago when the recall was issued in february!
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 was driving in stop and go rush hour traffic on the freeway. My clutch seemed soft when I downshifted as traffic was slowing from 65 MPH. The next time I shifted the clutch went to the floor and the transmission was disengaged. I couldn't shift. I was able to coast to the shoulder and wait for a tow.
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
Vehicle stalls when driving. Randomly stalls even when attempting to break. Can increase the likelihood of a car accident occurring. Makes it difficult to go faster because then car stalls a lot and causes break light to flash on and off. This mainly happens when the car is on drive although sometimes the car can feel jittery when being on park.

The hydraulic shift actuator will fail - oftentimes/seemingly in the heat & sun after prolonged exposure. This causes the vehicle to a. If it is not driving, you will get the "service transmission error" and the vehicle will not turn on; b. If you are driving, shifting becomes dangerous and erratic. Note: this isn't covered under your warranty because it has likely expired. If you have a third party warranty, you will need to "prove the failure". With that being said, this appears to happen towards the afternoon/evening in my case (when it's the hottest and has sat in the sun all day). It has shifted erratically on me multiple over the last few weeks - I am highly suspect that this part may become a future recall part. My vehicle is under 47,000 miles, so this should not be an issue. Considering other transmission problems, I would be aware. It has almost caused multiple accidents for me (I have a clean mvr). The erratic shifting will happen at all speeds.

This is for recall v34. Which was issued early in the year. My wife was driving down the highway, 1 near robinson illinois to be exact and the car just stopped driving forcing her to steer onto the side of a very busy highway! This could have been very bad!!!! I find it insane that chrysler is dragging their feet on this part! My wife could have been killed!!!!! Not too mention if my daughter and I were in the car when this happened. Chrysler knows this part and these cars are unsafe but are not willing to do anything about it! On top of everything you want me to dish out the money to put another recalled part on my car, no thanks!! Do something about this.
I was pulling out of my driveway and went to shift from reverse to drive. My shift would move, but my car was stuck in neutral. I had to push my car out of the road and since it was not in park, could not completely turn it off and remove my key. I set the emergency brake and had to disconnect battery since accessories would not turn off. Car was towed to dealership on 08/09/2019. Per recall, the recall covers dodge dart compact cars from 2013 through 2016 with six-speed automatic transmissions. The company says a bushing can fail, causing the shifter cable to come loose from the transmission. That means when a driver shifts to park or another gear, the gear may not change and the car could roll away. Parts for recall will not be available until september. Dealership cannot fix at this time and manufacturer offered no assistance.
