2014 Dodge Dart: multiple warning lights

Filed Jul 21, 2020 · Transmission · 56,000 miles · TN

I pulled in parking lot and went to put the car in park, engine light came on, all the gear letters turned red and it didn't display, by the fuel gauge, which gear I was in like it usually does. I didn't actually know if I was in park because all lights on shifter were lit in red. When I tried to shift up to park as much as I could it made a clicking noise each time. So I turned the car off...and then back on. Happened again a week later. I took it to have computer analysis run on it. Indicated a fault in the transmission range sensor electrical circuit. Checked recall on vehicle. Shows there is a recall on transmission problems possible on dodge darts 2013-2015 models.

On april 17, 2019, when arriving at destination, I attempted to shift gears into park. However, gears shifted into reverse permanently. I called my siblings to assist with getting the car out of reverse, the handle would move but the gears would not change. The only way we could get the car to stop was with the emergency break. We turned off the ignition, but all lights stayed on and we could not remove the key from the ignition. The only way to get the key out was to unhook the battery. I contacted the manufacturer the following day on april 18th, and they advised of a recall for shift cable bushing. I asked how long the process would take, they stated they would mail a letter to advise how to set up appointment, they would have to order parts. I called back on april 25th to inquire once again about how long the process usually takes, and they did not advise of a time frame. I advised the representative that my car cannot be driven at all, and asked if I were to get a rental car or get my car fixed myself would I be reimbursed. The representative advised that there is no guarantee. I've contacted the manufacturer once again on may 8, 2019. Representative advised that the part has still not been ordered and there is no estimated time.

If I brake within 5 minutes of starting my vehicle, the next time I brake all of the dashboard lights will flash on, the battery light will stay on, and the car will stall. After waiting 5 to 10 minutes the car will start again. This happens within a week of when my car needs an oil change. This happened 10/24/2017, 10/25/2017, and 5/17/2018.

Takata recall: I pulled out of my work parking lot at 5pm after it had been sitting since 7am and drove about 2 mins down the rode, car battery light flashed and the car would no longer accelerate and steering wheel locked up. All lights and radio, A/C continued working normally. I was left stuck in the middle of an intersection. I turned the car off and turned the key a couple of times, after about 5-6 times it finally started again and drove away normally. This has happened 6 times now in the past 6 days. Most recently I was driving down a busy street going about 30 MPH in far right lane, I saw the battery light flash and I swerved into a parking lot before my steering wheel locked up. It is now taking 15-20 mins to start back up, it seems to be getting worse. It only seems to stall first time driving it in the morning or after work, in both cases the car has been sitting for 8-9 hours. I'm now scared to drive this car fearful it will stop on me and I wont have a chance to get out of harms way.

I don't know what to do with the vehicle. It's given me problems since I first bought it. The first time I had a problem with this vehicle was a month after I purchased it from the dealership. I was driving it, and it suddenly turned off and all of the lights on the dashboard turned on. Now it does it frequently. The last time was literally this 3rd of october. The dealership mechanics supposedly said it happens because the oil is low on the car, that the car's system shuts off to protect the vehicle from damage to the motor, due to low oil. It seems ridiculous that chrysler is willing to risk their buyers with such a fault systems. All the dealer said was that it was normal and nothing to worry about. However, when this has happened to me it has been when the oil life is at no less than 58%. It is very unsafe to drive this vehicle. I can crash at any moment. And the motor just burns through oil like crazy. My mechanic checked it after maybe three weeks of an oil change and it was completely out of oil already. It seems like

In the past two weeks my car has stalled out 3 times and it has been unable to start back up. I've had the battery replaced and mechanics cannot determine the issue. The stalling has occurred between 2-5 minutes of driving and always while in motion. This has happened to me in the middle of morning rush hour on city streets each time and I have been lucky enough to pull over to the side before losing all momentum and being stuck in the middle of the road. When it stalls out all the dashboard lights flash on and the engine died. Two of the times happened after making a 90 degree turn, and one time it happened after just going around a curve in the road. It also seems to occur as I am accelerating or decelerating. When trying to turn it back on, the lights and electronics will turn back on but the engine will not turn. I have noticed several complaints for the same issue and I have looked up my VIN on the federal safety agency website but it is not under any recalls. I have already spent $265 + aaa towing fees on this issue. The three dates that this has occurred to me are: 3/17/17, 3/24/17, and now 3/27/17. I am keeping all my receipts and I will contact aaa to show the proof of their towing/service.
