I was driving and my car shifted to neutral by itself. I was crossing a 2 lane highway when it happened but thankfully I was able to shift back to drive. I was also using cruise control and i tapped my brakes which would usually cancel cruise control, but my car sped up instead of slowing down. My dealership said my car doesn't qualify for the recall even though it is exactly what is happening to my car. I have 2 young children and this is our only transportation. I need this car to be safe for us though. The dealership said they couldn't look at it for over a week.

Adaptive cruise control problems by model year
What owners say
First is the cruise control - it sometimes work, sometimes does not. But when it does, it will at times kick on and off while in use. Scary at times. The next is the loss of power on the freeway. there are times when it will just bog down and not accelerate. other times it will catch and shift hard, other times will jerk. when these times occur, the check engine light comes on. But then will go off after a period of minutes.
When the vehicle is either in motion or while idle, the climate control will periodically not function at all. Other times when the vehicle is turned on, it will only function at a high setting. The seat warmers on the passenger side and the bluetooth does not work at all. Occasionally, the cruise control button will work to turn the function on, however, setting or resetting the cruise control does not work at all while in motion.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the cruise control was inoperable due to the traction control operating independently continuously. In addition, the air bag and seat belt warning lights were illuminated continuously. Binghamton chrysler jeep dodge located at (1279 upper, front st, binghamton, ny 13901) was contacted and informed of the failures. The contact was provided the cost for the vehicle to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.
The transmission has gone out after the gasket was replaced at the dodge dealer as a recall. It will not change gears and tries to start out in 4th gear. When you do get it to pull itself the RPM's are 3.5. The dealer ships say's that they could not have caused the issue but it ran fine before the transmission had the recall replacement of the transmission cable. The cruise control works only if you set it as soon s you start the car, if you don't it will not engage or come on. There is a check engine light that comes on and even when it is on the dealership cannot find any trouble codes. This is gt and I love the car but it does not run 80% of the time.
