Transmission shifts rough. Dealership replaced transmission but it has been doing the thing since day one when they replaced it. Motor bogs down when turning. Passenger seat belt flashes and dings even though the belt is clicked. Hands free system longer works. Airbags light is always on. Back up camera is flipped upside down and is a backing hazard. Odometer is flashing as well. Tire pressure sensors will show that there is no air in the tires after driving about 45 mins. It asks if there has been and crashes, I have not but it could happen. you never know when the car isn't going to respond.

Transmission failed after 56,000 miles. Prior transmission related recall was performed. This time it appears that something broke inside the transmission rendering it unable to shift. Based on the volume of complaints in various dodge dart forums, this is a widespread problem, not unique to my specific vehicle. I was fortunate to be in a place where I could pull over and have the car towed. Had I been on the highway in traffic, it could have caused an accident or worse.

2013 dodge dart limited was moving, stopped at light, lost gear completely. Dealership couldn't recreate. Had every trans recall available april 2019. January 2020 car started to stall and shift out of gear again. April 17 2020 brought dart in due to stalling in road and same dash screen as recall, told me to shift into n then back into d or r. Car wouldn't move. Dealership couldn't find code or anything wrong and allowed me to leave with the vehicle. Got the car home, went to show my husband and the entire transmission went out. Apparently not involved with recall, yet I don't see how. Says something in transmission sleeve needs fixed and I am liable. I begged them to keep this car bc the transmission was acting up, now here I am being told I owe for an entire transmission when I tried to have it fixed first. Vin isn't listed under any current recalls, yet a quick google search will show quickly that the 6 speed trans are nothing but recall issues repeatedly, until it actually dies.
