My car is having issues with the shifter. It won't go into park or drive properly it also locks my key fob up when it doesn't read park. It doesn't do it all the time but 90% of the time it does. I took it to the dodge dealership and paid to have them diagnose what was wrong. They claimed they couldn't find the issue so they kept it overnight to tear it apart . The next day they called and said the shifter assembly wasn't functioning properly. I had the shifter assembly replaced on my own because dodge wanted a outrageous amount and go figure it wasn't the issue because my car is still doing the same thing. It's unacceptable that there is not a recall on this issue I've read hundreds and hundreds of complaints of people having the same issue. It's dangerous when you can't get your car to go into park and someone is going to end up seriously hurt. On a side note they did have a recall on the shifter bushing which I did have replaced and it didn't help the issue either. In order to get my car to go into drive I have to hit the shift lock release pin under the shifter anytime it jams up on me. Something needs done about this because from what I've read it's a very common issue in dodge darts and by no means is this ok for people to have to make car payments to have cars that they don't feel safe in.
