Key cannot be removed from the ignition. Issues with putting car into park and wont shift into park causing danger to others around me and myself. Issues starting up because of this shift cable issue because car thinks its not in park. It was looked at by dealership service department at Berman Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Dealership in Oak Lawn. There is still one outstanding recall that I was told "Does not have a solution" yet it has been recalled since October of last year (2025) A0C/the federal safety agency 25V‑674

I was driving the other day dropping off food for a customer and as I shifted my car from park to drive it wouldn’t change gears. Now let me remind u I’m stuck in the middle of these strangers driveway as they’re trying to leave their home and I cannot switch into reverse so I had to keep my foot on that break pedal the entire time. Thank god they were very understanding ( because who knows what could’ve happened) and said they were leaving for something that wasn’t very important and would go another day. Come to find out it was my CABLE SHIFTER WHICH I HAD ALREADY HAD REAPIRED PREVIOUSLY AS A RECALL. I haven’t even been able to drive the car because it will not shift into any gear. It’s currently just sitting across the street in my apartment complex as I have no way to work or anywhere for that matter. I called the same dealership (I took it to the first time I had the recall done)as soon as the incident happend to see if I could just get it repaired AGAIN (which I shouldn’t have to) and they told me that there was no way I was gonna be able to drop my car off at the dealership because they were extremely backed up so it would take 4 WEEKS before they could have anyone even look at the car. I described what it was doing over the phone to him and he said it most definitely was the cable shifter. And not only that but he also told me that even with it sitting here or there they don’t even have the part to fix the vehicle at the moment.This isn’t even the least of issues with this vehicle that I haven’t even owned for 2 years.There were never any warning lights or anything that popped up on the dashboard.

I have been experiencing pretty much every recall that is on the list number one it started with my car check engine light coming on. And the codes that kept on coming up or for the plugs and coils. I would replace them and they would just go bad again in like a week it is causing my car to do what seems like it's misfiring. My tire light is stuck on when the tires are fine. The speed control stops working on and off. When I steer there's a loud clicking noise. Whenever I try to shift here lately sometimes it won't go into gear. When I turn on the AC it will cause the car to misfire and the only way to make it stop is to turn off the AC and restart the car sometimes three to four times before it stops messing up.today the scariest thing of all happened I was pulling out of bronze and white smoke billowed out of the car tailpipes I'm not sure why. The car is also sporadically not going in gear when I am on the highway making me worry that me and my five kids are in danger due to someone raikkonen to me because my car will not go up to speed and will not shift into the right gear and misfires and will not go over like 30 miles per hour and putz. I replace parts and it seems to work well for a week or two but my car is not on the recall list they say that every single thing that is on the recall list is happening to my car. I don't know what to do about all of this I honestly you just think that dart needs to take the car back.. Like recall it completely. This car has been nothing but trouble after the first year of driving it.

The right window no longer works as well as the driver side window. The trunk is also not wanting to open. Key gets stuck in ignition every time I try and turn the car off. Shift cables also broke, I was just getting home when it happened I heard something snap but didn't think much then I parked and tried to drive off again and the car wouldn't shift to drive I could move the stick.back and forth still,had it replaced a couple of days later they said the whole rod had come out and shot into something else in the vehicle had shift fixed. Also had motor mouths fixed the mouths became loss within a couple of days now I believe the AC compressor is messing up AC kicks on but no air comes out, but it only happens once in a while car also stays cold for a long while and makes a weird clicking noise when I start it up. Also smells like oil. Passage seat also is stuck. This all happened within 2years ive had the vehicle.

Vehicle is under recall already, its stuck in neutral, the gear shift moves but the transmission isn't changing gear. Took it to dealership and their giving me problems even looking it up to verify the recall and to inspect it. They agreed to give me a rental car after they verify the recall but told me it could be weeks till they have time to even look at it. They claim they have many other cars that need repaired and this wasn't a top priority. So my car is at the nearest dealership to where I broke down, waiting for them to have the time to even verify the recall? I was under the understanding recalls should be performed and completed on a timely manner, but im being put on the back burner because this is a recall and im not paying out of pocket for it so its not a huge concern for them. I was told by dodge if I didnt like the wait I could go elsewhere. I cant. The car is stuck in neutral so its stuck at dodge unless I pay to tow it to a different dealership.

I was notified on 04/18/2019 of the manufacturer safety recall issued the federal safety agency #19v‑293 #v34 2013-2016 dodge dart pf shift cable bushing. It is now 08/18/2019 4 months later and there is still no remedy available. While I have not had a mishap and the part has not failed yet I fear it is only a matter of time. My son is now at college on his own with the 2015 dodge dart and I have to remind him to try and be gentle with the shifter and make sure that he sets the parking brake in case the bushing fails and the vehicle doesn't go into park. I have not heard anything from fiat/chrysler since the initial recall notification. That is unacceptable and they owe us answers of when our vehicles will be fixed or they should start a vehicle buyback program if they can't fix the problem.

I was backing out of a parking space at a coffee shop and my car stalled and wouldn't shift gears. Finally was able to get it towed due to a recall on the vehicle and was told it would be a week to get it back. Received a phone call exactly at one week and found but it will be 1 month before the part will come in. That doesn't even include them fixing the actual car. Didn't even offer me a rental. It's been great.

Power train recall....I was backing out of my driveway into the road and the recall item for transmission. The electronic device came off and the transmission would not shift into any gear and I got stuck in the middle of the road I live on while traffic was trying to get through. My car would not go in reverse or drive. I got it pulled back into my driveway and a nice gentlemen that helped looked at my car and realized that the power train was not attached.
