Filed Aug 26, 2026 · Driver assistance · NC

Pulling back in to drive way, car wouldn't go into park and just cut off. Took it to Randy Marion Dodge of [XXX] of [XXX], and they're saying its the recall but there is not parts available to fix it because Dodge hasn't released the parts. This my only car I have to have to means of transportation to get back in forth to work. Meanwhile Dodge said they could fix it, but its going to cost me $920. Dodge should be to ones paying for this. They also want release a loaner car or a rental provision. How is this right??????????

I am filing a complaint regarding my 2014 Dodge Dart involving an open recall related to the vehicle's shift cable/park system. On May 29, 2026, I pulled into a parking space and attempted to shift into Reverse to straighten the vehicle. At that point, the vehicle became stuck in Drive and would not shift into Park, Reverse, or Neutral. I was unable to remove the key from the ignition, and the vehicle could not be safely operated. I had to secure the vehicle using the emergency brake and arrange for it to be towed. After contacting Dodge City of McKinney, I was advised to have the vehicle towed to the dealership for inspection. The dealership later informed me that Recall V34 had been completed in 2021 before I owned the vehicle, but that there is now an open A0C recall involving the shift cable/park system. I was advised that the recall remedy and parts are not yet available The dealership inspected the vehicle and documented that the shift cable/grommet is deteriorated. They stated in writing that the vehicle is not roadworthy and provided an estimate of approximately $756.70 to repair the condition. I was advised that I may need to pay for the repair myself and seek reimbursement later because the recall remedy is not yet available. I have opened a case with Stellantis Customer Care and have written documentation from the dealership confirming the vehicle is not roadworthy due to the shift cable condition. My concern is that the vehicle has been deemed unsafe to drive due to a condition involving a system that is currently subject to an open safety recall, yet I am being told to pay out of pocket for repairs while the official recall remedy remains unavailable. I am requesting review of the recall status, clarification of my rights, and assistance in resolving this matter without requiring out-of-pocket payment for a potentially recall-related repair.

I had the V34 recall done on 1-2-2020 and now for the last 2 weeks 9-12 through 9-22-2022 my vehicle will not go into park properly. I am scared it will roll into a crash. I transport my grandchildren in this vehicle and I’m scared for their safety. Does this need another recall? I’m scared to drive this vehicle. I only have 45135 original miles on this vehicle! Is this vehicle a lemon?? I have had all recalls performed on this vehicle. Please let me know what is going to happen with this issue. Thank you in advance.

Car often shudders and jerks when shifting gear from park. Often times it will not shift gear and presents a message saying 'shift to neutral and then shift to drive or reserve.' this message comes up when in park or sometimes when stopped at a light. Such as stopped at a light. Sometimes when it presents this messages, even after shifting to neutral several times, it will still not move afterwards while in drive or reverse.

For over 2 years my dodge dart 2014 bought brand new off a car lot has been having problems with the transmission. Multiple times while driving it would shift into 1 st gear and readline the RPM tach meter and would not shift back up to its proper gear. I have to reset the battery after disconnecting it for 15mins and then sometimes it will continue to operate properly. This has been going on for over 2 years. My car has less than 40,000 miles on. Dodge is just now doing recalls for this problem which is related to the trasmission bushing cable. Just now after its been happening for over 2 years they are trying to offer recalls. I still have yet to be notified officially regarding this matter thru the mail or a phone call, email even. I had to call corporate to ask. Corporate told me something would come in the mail near the end of august. Its the end of august now and still nothing. Then they said to contact local dodge dealerships and inquire about parts if they had any in stock. They didn't. I don't even drive the car because of this issue. Dodge needs to compensate me back in full and buy back the car or be sued and shut down and no longer allowed to manufacture these pieces of [xxx]. This is insanity. I will never buy another american brand car ever again. Also the gas cap fell off the car and the electronic motor is stripped or defective. Every time I press the button on the driver side of the door to open the gas cap to refill it makes a loud noise for the entire duration of holding down the button. Dodge said there is no recall on that. The front windows also fog up for no reason when its colder. I'm talking about on the inside of the car. Shoddy craftsmenship and should be sued. Ty for reading this. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

It started back in april. My car wouldn't go into reverse. It started flashing the r on the dash then next to the gear shift. I took it into the shop. It then started not going into reverse or drive. Not only would the lights flash at me but it would say place vehicle into neutral then drive or reverse. It ended up towed once because t wouldn't go anywhere. The service engine light popped up. It said all my gears were not found. It has been in and out of the shop 7 times for this same reason. It won't reverse and/or won't go into drive. The gear shift also popped into park going down the interstate. Most recently I had a collision where it was suppose to be in reverse and ended up going forward and hitting a parked vehicle. My vehicle is still not fixed and I owe money on it. My brakes haven't been working correctly and I know they are still good because my mechanic dad and boyfriend have checked them. The cruise will go off randomly and the touch screen goes white, black and back on. There is an open recall with no remedy. I do not feel like this is the cause. Also, I am having problems getting the ignition to release my key. Dodge hired an investigator. It took my car being hit before they decided to take action. I feel like I'm driving a death trap that I can't get out of and usually have one to 3 kids in my car. I'd rather not have a serious accident because this car is a piece of (xxx).

My car was parked. I turned my car on and pushed the brake, my shifter would change to different gears on the lighted display but would not actually go into reverse, neutral, drive. My car was stuck in park. Upon examination from a mechanic my shifter cable was loose and this had to be repaired. I have seen numerous complaints with this same issue upon online research. I called the dealership and was told this was not part of my warranty. This would be a safety issue if this was to come loose upon my daily commute on a busy interstate. I am concerned for my safety if my vehicle was stuck in drive or reverse. I am thankful this time I was in park,
