Clutch goes straight to the floor and does not come back up. Can not shift and/or accelerate making it impossible to drive the car. This has happened to me twice. Been driving on the freeway - traffic starts to slow down, I go to shift down and clutch goes out and doesn't come back up. Very scary when you are in the fast lane going 65 miles and your clutch doesn't work. Both times the slave cylinder had to be replaced.

My vehicle has had an active recall that I have been contacting the dealership about for months to get repaired and I was continually told that I would be contacted and I never was. Today, on august 1, 2019 as I was backing out of a parking spot in a parking lot, my transmission shifter cable failed and caused my car to get stuck in reverse and I was not able to shift to place my car in drive. I had to remove the battery cables under the hood and the gear cover from inside the car and manually switch my car to neutral and have my car pushed home. I then called mopar to ask what the remedy was for fixing the recall issue and I was informed that I would need to pay out of pocket to have my car repaired and that I would later get reimbursed. This is not possible for me now due to my finances and I was under the impression that an active recall was to be fixed free of charge. I'm not understanding why I will need to pay out of pocket for this issue.

Dodge dart shifter cable safety recall has not yet been fixed nor is there a remedy for it yet. It has been quite a few months and I haven't been able to drive my car. There hasn't been an incident but I have been months without a car that I need to be able to drive and am paying for.
I was in a parking spot in neutral and went to shift into reverse and the cord on the reverse popped.
Clutch master cylinder failure.
I bought a dodge dart 2013 limited edition (or was talked into it by your salespeople) I wanted this to be my last car and I actually really liked it. Then I started having transmission problems with the car shifting into neutral randomly. I took it to a dodge dealer but the problem persisted. This happened three times and they said they did everything they could. A lemon law firm contacted me and said they could replace the car if I had 3 occurrences with receipts which I submitted to them. They said chrysler was giving me $3900. I was confused because I thought they were giving me enough to replace the car. They explained chrysler didn't want to do that. I actually forgot about it (that was 2016) and thought the issue had been fixed so I was happy. Now this past july 4th 2019 my transmission problems have returned. My car has 48,000 only and not even the dodge extended warranty (which I wanted to now purchase) do not cover 2013 models. That speaks volumes to me. They know they sold me a lemon and one that is not safe. I can't afford a new car and have now learned that lemons are bought and sold back to the public. I will never buy or speak well about chrysler again. You are a fraudulent company. I wanted a honda originally but was talked out of it by neighbors who work for chrysler. I will be calling deena centofanti from channel 2 fox to tell her I was sold an unsafe car and I am stuck with it. They already know that chrysler knew the system design was faulty in 2012 but released the 2013 anyway. Shameful.
In the mornings when I first start the car my clutch pedal sticks down and I hqve to pull it up using my foot/hand. I have done some research and this is a well known issue for manual transmission darts. Hundreds of people have called chrysler abiut the issue and they refuse to do anything about it. For the people who have paid out of pocket say that it is a slave/ master cylinder issue and if nothing is done during early stages like starting your car in the morning. It does start to happen while driving down the road and does cause further damage. I feel that this is a huge saftey concern that they should fix.
I have a recall warning that the dodge dart shifting cable may break and this did happen on my vehicle. The dodge dart is at the dodge dealer and they tell me I have to pay to replace the shifting cable because there is no permanent fix yet. I should not have to pay anything for dodge to fix the problem regardless if there is no permanent fix to the problem yet.

The shifter cable keeps coming off and no one can fix it yet. It is a safety deal for me and my family. There is a recall on it but when I call dodge car lots they say it can't be fixed cause there is no solution for it. I have almost hit another car because it has came off not once but several times. There needs to be a solution for this cause it's not safe
