Power train: automatic transmission: lever and linkage: floor shift
- What is wrong
- Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Dodge Dart vehicles equipped with 6-speed automatic transmissions. The shifter cable bushing may fail allowing the shift cable to detach from the transmission.

- Remedy
- This recall will be replaced by the federal safety agency recall number 25V674. Vehicles already repaired under this recall will need to have the new remedy completed. Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission side shifter cable bushing, free of charge. The recall began September 5, 2019. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1‑800‑853‑1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is V34.

Recall 19V‑293 Post Remedy Failures
On June 30, 2025, the Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) opened RQ25002 to investigate and review the effectiveness of Recall 19V‑293. This recall was intended to address deterioration and detachment of shifter cable bushings by replacing them with an improved bushing that is less susceptible to deterioration from chemicals, oils, and solvents in MY2013-2016 Dodge Dart vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions and manufactured by Fiat Chrysler Automotive US LLC (FCA US). If the shifter cable becomes detached from the transmission, the transmission gear position may not match the driverâs intended gear selection. This mismatch could result in unintended vehicle movement or rollaway when the driver believes the transmission is in PARK, increasing the risk of a crash and/or injury. ODI has received sixty-three (63) Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQ) alleging worn or misadjusted shifter cables and/or shifter cable detachments in subject vehicles that had already received the remedy for Recall 19V‑293. Complainants reported incidents of bushing deterioration and detachment, resulting in gear-selection mismatch despite the prior recall repair, raising concerns regarding the effectiveness and durability of the implemented remedy and the adequacy of the recall. ODIâs investigation sought to determine whether the remedy used in recall 19V‑293 adequately addressed the cause of the failure and whether other vehicles using the same bushing design might be affected. In response, FCA US and Dura Automotive Systems Inc. (Dura) determined that the repair for Recall 19V‑293 did not sufficiently address the issue, and therefore, a safety defect exists in the subject vehicle population. As a result, FCA US and Dura initiated the following recall actions: ·        Recall 25V‑674 (FCA US) is intended to address MY 2013â2016 Dodge Dart vehicles repaired under 19V‑293 or otherwise equipped with suspect service parts. Remedy is under development. ·        Recall 25E-065 (Dura) is intended to address the defect at the equipment level by recalling affected gearshift control cable assemblies distributed as service components. Remedy is under development. The recalls initiated by FCA US (25V‑674), and Dura Automotive Systems Inc. (25E-065) were received prior to ODI sending an Information Request (IR) letter to FCA. These two recalls seem to resolve the concerns that prompted investigation RQ25002 by replacing the previously recalled and service-supplied shifter cable assembly with an improved design, currently under development. The vehicle scope concern identified in this query was addressed by the new recalls including all Model Year 2013â2016 Dodge Dart vehicles produced and equipped with the affected shifter cable assembly. Accordingly, ODI is closing Investigation RQ25002. The agency will continue to monitor field performance and recall completion data to evaluate the effectiveness of the new remedy. ODI reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the ODI reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to

What 2015 Dodge Dart owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The car is under recall, yet a year has passed without the manufacturer resolving the issue.
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact received a recall for the transmission shifter cable. While attempting to park the vehicle, the contact released the brake pedal, and the vehicle rolled while in park(P). The contact immediately engaged the parking brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact notified the local Dodge dealer about recall and the failure. However, the dealer was unable to provide an estimated date for the recall repair. The contact was concerned about the risk associated with the shifter cable, and the possibility of the vehicle rolling away and causing a crash or an injury. The failure mileage was approximately 93,000.

The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V674000 (Power Train); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to respond in drive(D) or reverse(R).

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was contacted by e-mail and made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
I was previously notified of safety recall for the transmission shift cable failure (Manufacturer Recall Number A0C; the federal safety agency Recall Number 25V‑674) that was announced on Oct 09, 2025. It's been nearly 1 year and there still isn't a remedy available (Today's date 9/28/26) "Recall Status: Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available." My car has not experienced this failure yet, but the prolonged waiting for a remedy is making me nervous. It seems like 1 year is a reasonable time to wait before becoming frustrated about the lack of a remedy.
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. While the contact's daughter was driving 20 MPH, the transmission failed to shift as intended. The contact stated that the failure had occurred while at an intersection where there was a lot of traffic. The contact stated that approximately four years ago, a temporary recall repair was completed for the gear shifter. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V674000 (Power Train); however, the part was not available. The failure mileage was approximately 199,000.
On Aug 30, 2026, my 2015 Dodge Dart suddenly became stuck when the gear wouldn’t shift out of park. The shift lever would move, but it felt loose. This obviously rendered the vehicle undrivable. As this happened on a Sunday night, I had no choice but to call AAA to get the car towed home that night, and again later that week (Sep 2) to get it towed to the dealership when they scheduled an appointment for me to bring in the vehicle. This failure is directly related to open the federal safety agency recall 25V674 (Chrysler recall A0C), covering the transmission shifter cable/bushing on 2013–2016 Dodge Dart vehicles. This is the same component addressed by an earlier recall (19V293/Chrysler V34), which was performed on this vehicle in Jun 2021. According to Chrysler's own Part 573 filing, the 2021 fix failed in the field, prompting the new recall. As of this complaint, no permanent remedy exists for this recall. On Jun 17, 2026, the dealership where I took my car to for the 19V293 recall fix texted me, urging me to bring the vehicle in for this recall. Thinking they already had a fix, I brought my car in. It wasn’t until the day after I dropped off my car that I was told there still was no fix available and the visit was unnecessary. When I towed my car to this dealership on Sep 2, I was again told no permanent fix exists, and that I would have to pay for repair out of pocket and seek reimbursement from the manufacturer. The dealer estimated roughly 2 days for repair (original paperwork had a promise date of Sep 4). The vehicle was not ready until Sep 10. Repair cost: $782.49. When I retrieved the vehicle, the interior had been left in disarray (contents of the center console scattered in the back seat), and an access panel near the shift cable on the front passenger side had not been reinstalled. I am filing this complaint to document a real-world failure event tied to this open recall, and the fact that I was charged for a repair related to an unresolved safety recall.

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to shut down the car when the transmission is placed in park because the system is not recognizing the transmission is in park.
