My 2013 Dodge dart rallye turbo 1.4l . Started to lose power in the cold weather. It then stalls out while I was waiting at a red light. I got it started it ran fine. I got to a friend's house. visited for a while. got out to the car it wouldn't start. I jump-started it. To get home. And it was run slow and sluggish. The next day I went out there. and it just clicked. bought a brand new battery thinking it was that. it won't start check the fuses. All was working even relays starter solenoid and alternator also tested good. All cables and ground wires where in good condition tested and cleaned. Belt was like new and turned freely. Check engine light did flash when first tried to start 10 times then when off. But no error code was held. This has only happened one there time. And it was when I didn't have it in my garage at night. Last week and we got a bad winter storm. I didn't know. That I can't drive this car in Michigan. In the winter. Because it almost got me hit. When out at a green light. Because it was cold. If I would of known this I would of never got this car. And know it won't even. Start because I left outside of the garage for the second time in the hole time I own it.
06/08/2021. My daughter stopped to gas up at Costco when a notice came up on the dash "Engage Parking Brake to prevent Rollback". She immediately called me to make me aware of it. Once home she again get this message. 06/09/2021. My daughter drove to school with no issues. However, leaving school she was going slowly over a speed bump when the car automatically shifted into PARK. She lost acceleration and the car rolled backwards off of the speed bump while she was wrestling with controlling the steering. The car shuts off and she was unable to start it again. She immediately called me and told me the message displayed again from yesterday "Engage Parking Brake to prevent Rollback". Now the car won't start. I am now on my way to the school when she calls me back to say it started and she is on her way home. I told her to be very careful. 06/10/2021. I drove the car while my daughter followed me to the dealership. On the way to the dealership at every stop the message displayed "Engage Parking Brake to prevent Rollback". While at the dealership I explained the problem and I had brought all repair documents that stated the same issue occurred in a repair with my son (twice), with me, and now with my daughter. It all stem from gear shift cable/bushings/TCM/transmission, which then was covered under warranty or recall. I emphatically didn't want to waste time with a diagnostic when I am sure its related to past repairs. The service tech was trying to convince me it could be something else and the diagnostics will tell them the true cause. I was reluctant but agreed for the diagnostic. I did state that what that diagnostic will show is that the transmission/recall is faulty. 06/11/21. The service tech called me to say the car coded P07B4 [Park Positioning Sensor]. However he never called it a Transmission Park Positioning Sensor because in my opinion this part should be covered under the transmission warranty (see Manual - Parts Covered - Transmission:).
Driving along all of a sudden engine started revving up to 6000rpm car started slowing down pulled over and tried to put in neutral gear shift was stuck tried to force a few times would not move turned engine off tried to move shifter no luck could not start engine but won't start in gear called paid $400+ dollars on oct 20 for new shift cable clip fell off of shift lever on transmission thought same problem. Called dodge dealership in key west told me they had no transmission guy to do repairs said to call planet dodge in miami where shifter was fixed. Tried to force shifter one last time after a few knocks freed up there was a recall in september for shift repair wonder why I had to pay $400+ for repair in october when recall was issued in september thank god I had enough speed to pull off us 1 in marathon fla
My 2013dodge dart cranks but wont start this happened suddenly and without warning
I am having problems with body control module and this damaging all my vehicles sensors as the sensors are damaged the actual system which is the engine and the mechanical system is damaged and car won't start it stopped in the middle of the road and then after few trials I some how started it and then it stalls but this stalling is really dangerous because the bcm is sending wrong signals to the accelerator and it accelerates even I have eased the gas so if anything happens later or now I would blame dodge for making such a worst car and also the federal safety agency for giving dodge the permission.
While driving my car on a busy road my my car started to loss power, so I turned the car off and it would'nt start back up. This happended in june 2020. I called the tow truck after about a hour in the rain once the tow truck pulls up the car finally starts and I get the car home. It shuts off again assoon as get in my yard. Checked the fuses, battery, alternator, etc. Replaced a 200amp fuse at the battery car worked fine for a few months. Bam the car will not start once again. All light are on, battery is charge fully thedarn carjust wont turn on. This is a harzard computer checks not one recal on this electical unknow issue, now I have a red box in my yard that looks pretty. Many people are having the same electrical issue, but when I called dodge they said there are no recalls on this vehicle.
I have had nothing but issues with my 2013 dodge dart limited. I purchased it with 36,900 miles on it back in july of 2016. Here we are in july of 2020 and the car does not even have 67,000 miles on it. My problem listed was created only roughly a week after purchasing. The entire uconnect system makes my vehicle unable to operate safely. Whether it's the screen going black where I can not control/change anything. The touch screen is everything volume, HVAC, bluetooth, 'supposed to work with remote start. I have had my codes checked; cylinder 1 module misfire. After doing research and my vehicle being stuck unable to drive because it simply would not start(acted like it would but would not.) for the entire winter of 2018. Come summer of 2019 the air was still horriblebut my infant was now in the vehicle. Seeing a poor newborn have sweat rolling off his face on a way to a doctors appointment probably is what done me in the most. This vehicle has some cool uconnect bells and whistles but it is like they attempted to put something in a vehicle that was not capable of handling all the advancements. I have had my car to the dealership 4 times.I've replaced parts within the HVAC twice! Now my odometer is blinking; red flag.I am seriously scared to drive this vehicle. It sits for most of the time.in the lasr 2 years I've maybe driven it a total of 5,000 if that! I have my car almost completely paid off and have not even been able to put over 31,000 miles on it in 4 four years!how absurd and ridiculous! The dealership always want to run a diagnostic even though they have mentioned the issues each time I've paid for them previously. They just have 'quick fix' as the gentleman told me for this. I am a single mother going to college that cannot financially afford all this! The car randomly after being shut down will not restart. Been stuck for a couple months now in the garage.
Fasten seat belts light appears on dash and dings. Air bag light continues to be lit. Battery replaced and tested good...car doesn't start. Radio loses reception. Key fobik doesn't lock, unlock, remote start or panic button doesn't work to car (always did before) check engine light has come on and went off several times
