I have a few problems to be addressed because this car have a real safety issue. One issue been happening was car sometimes doesn’t start. This problem maybe stalling starting may delay in cases of personally emergency’s. Second, I got a recall letter having emissions issues? During this recall letter I receive my inspection sticker was due, then I got a rejected sticker because it did failed emissions as noticed. I tried getting issue resolve at few of the dodge dealers nearby 3 places that’s the closest which were like almost an hour away, but there were a backlog of part not available? Since those two issues I had and having time to try getting these recalls and issue resolved, dealer said not much of an issue and couldn’t find much issues? Told the dealer I had recall and starter issues also with no check engine light on. The dealer did a diagnose on the car but couldn’t find actual problem but wanted to charge me on so much other things like spark plugs change before they can find the actual issue. I paid for the diagnose about 200+ out of pocket. Came to find out they diagnosed but now check engine light is ON now and I looked under hood myself found they didn’t reconnect the engine coil to spark plug, maybe check and forget to reconnect? I reconnected myself and then no check engine lights. I had to check myself why can’t I start and then check fuse box under hood, found relay was damaged, shorted out reason why car had issues starting. This is after I changed the battery which was problem wasn’t the reason couldn’t start. I did my research on this deeply cause now I have a much bigger issue, which I was losing my brake lines. I almost got into an accident but luckily still have E-brakes. I believe it’s the brake line front driver started leaking now. On top of brake issue, no brake lights came on still.I checked for any recalls or any updates and found there were the same or typical issues? I did checked my car Vin # and it said “0 unrepaired on my vehicle”?

Last Thursday, August 3rd, I reversed my car out of my garage. Upon putting it in Drive, the engine light came on as well as the PRND lights illuminated red. As I was driving, I noticed my car felt sluggish to my destination, but I did make it. When I parked, I noticed how jerky the car was when shifting from drive to park. After my appointment, the red PRND lights were gone, with the engine light still on. I had another appointment to get new tires, and the car ran fine this time, except engine light still on. Once my new tires were on, engine light also no longer lit. I took my car to get it diagnosed. It gave out 3 codes; po705-00, p1c86-92, and B1578-2B with the last code indicating problems with my antenna. I checked it, and it appears to be broken in 2 areas. The first code po705-00 indicates failure of the transmission control module; which is strange. There was a related recall in 2019, in which I did take my vehicle into a dealership, and it was supposed to have been taken care of. The code p1c86-92 has to do with the PRNDL Display Circuit Current Out Of Range. I now do not feel safe driving my car, and the dealerships can’t get me in to look at my car, so I’ve been calling all over the area to mechanics that specialize in transmission issues. I can’t in until Sept 6th, and that’s just for another diagnosis BEFORE ordering parts and giving me a quote. When I first had these issues, I began researching the codes. It seems that there are a LOT of people with Dodge Darts having these exact same issues, but no recall has been issued as of yet. Please take care of this. Mechanics and dealerships are way overbooked, some are no longer taking jobs because they’re so backed up, and people like myself with no other vehicle will not have transportation. And I live in a rural community. Getting a recall on these transmission issues would be really helpful, as like I stated, many are having these exact problems. Thank you!

When driving vehicle at 40+ mph and making a turn the vehicle then stalls, loosing power and the transmission will not resume acceleration after turn is completed. We had to pull the vehicle off the road and out of traffic because of power loss. The vehicle check engine light was illuminated prior to experiencing problem. A dealership in Oklahoma City, OK confirmed a transmission malfunction code.

Unknown....transmission fluid reservoir was not holding the fluid and leaking it out and I didn't know of this til my car all of a sudden would not go as I pressed on the gas and then it jerk out of nowhere and it sped up all on its own and I almost rear ended the vehicle in front of me but I steered to side of road and it was still reving up and then stalled and I had no power steering power and brakes were hard to use. There was no pressure warning signs this car was running perfectly fine before this happened. No low fluid notification no check engine light or anything.

I put in a complaint back in 2019 about using to much oil and my car acting funny. Now the car will jump/jerk when you put on the gas and the air bag light comes on and the engine light. I took it to have it fixed last year at a sullivan's garage and he can not find anything wrong. He went a head and changed the oil. And mind you I just had it changed aweek before. And he said I was already half a quart low. My car still will start jerking/jumping and stop. Ill have to turn the key off and take out and put the key back in and start the car. And the engine and airbag lights will go off.and I just had a oil change.it happens when I'm getting on the freeway to go home from work and ill have to pull to the side of highway!!! Driving to the store. This only happens when car engine is running lights come on and car is moving starts doing the jerks. Please do a recall on the engine!!! I love my car!!! But this is going to get someone hit in the car. And something needs to done now!!!!!! My husband thought I was crazy, until he drove it. You can call him [xxx] ask for [xxx]. My husband has sullivan's garage phone number also. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

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.

Starting at around 50,000 miles my vehicle has constant problems with the engine over heating. I bought it into the shop in august for this problem. They replaced some clamp and said that was the problem. In september the car was overheating again. I noticed the coolant was very low so I filled it and that seemed to work. Then in october the engine too hot light came on, again. I brought it back to the shop. They replaced the radiator cap and said that was the problem. Then one week later the engine light comes on for a cylinder 2 miss fire. I get that repaired and then the very same day the engine too hot light comes on. Refill the coolant again. There does not appear to be a leak and no one can seem to find any internal problems or signs of internal leaking yet the car just keeps over heating and now its just a guessing game as to when it happens again. Every time it has happened it has been at different amounts of movement. The first time I was stationary. The second time I was going slow. The third time was on the highway.

This month my check engine light came on, when I went to get it diagnosed/repaired, I was told it was a knock sensor. I got it replaced and less than a day later the check engine light was back on. I went back to the repair shop, they replaced the sensor again, because it was the same code, but this time with an oem part from dodge. The check engine light came back on again a day later and now I am being told the PCM needs to be replaced. I did some research and the 2013 model of my car had this problem and it was a recall. My vehicle only has 77,000 miles on it, I am still paying for it. These types of major repairs on a car is ridiculous. I used to work in the repair sector, so I know it's not unheard of, but this car should definitely not be needing a new computer already. It doesn't matter what the car is doing. When the light is cleared, it comes back on within a day (I drive about 14 miles a day round trip back and forth to work).
