When I start my car and depart the car feels like it is gonna die and when I accelerate the gears slip and the engine revs up when I am pressing on the brake and sometimes when I come to a complete stop after exiting the freeway my car dies and the battery light turns on and I have to put it in park and start the car again....
Car not shifting gears correctly. Dodge Dart accelerating poorly to the point where driving can be extremely dangerous for everyone involved. Sometimes car will not go over 40mph which is extremely dangerous. Car jerks and surges forward. Constant Problems with Transmission and gears. Car looses horsepower going up hills to the point where it can back into cars behind me. Gas Mileage extremely high constant trips to gas stations to refuel car. Car has been to dealership shop multiple times for transmission and engine problems but the car still has the same issues nothing is getting fixed car is unfit to and is a safety hazard to all on roads. Dealership doesn’t care as long as they get their money. Engine light and slip light constant on. The car is dangerous to and dealer won’t issue me refund or any other car. I’m scared for my safety everytime I drive this car. Car will randomly cut off in middle of traffic. I will have to turn car on and off just to get it to come back on. I’m praying this car doesn’t kill me or someone else. Dealer doesn’t care multiple trips to dealer for repairs nothing gets fix’s just more problems after another
This morning when backing out of the driveway, the car got stuck into neutral And I was stuck in the middle of the street unable to back up or drive. After pushing it into the driveway, I discovered the shift cable was no longer attached to the shifter lever. The bushing was no longer in the hole for the shifter cable and the bushing itself was still attached to the shifter lever bolt. In March of this year, I took my car to the dodge dealer to have the two recalled parts replaced. One was the shifter cable bushing. When I called the Dodge dealer, they told me to have the car towed to their service department and they would have it looked at and replaced as soon as possible. I verified with them the bushing was covered under the mopar 24 month part warranty. I had the vehicle towed to them. Later, someone from the service department called trying to tell me that I needed to pay a $277 diagnostic fee and I advised them I would not be paying them anything because I took photos and printed out the photos showing them that the bushing was missing inside of the shifter cable that they supposedly replaced 5 months ago. Either they never replaced it or they replaced it with another faulty bushing. In looking at the bushing currently broken on my vehicle, it is yellow in color. When I looked up the parts number on Mopar’s website, the photo of the new bushing is white.
My car is showing a code for "Powertrain Control Module Missing Backup Software" which has been recalled under the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 16V113000. When I call into the Carl Burger dealership in La Mesa, CA they said that they will do the backup however; I would have to pay a charge. Not sure why I would need to pay for something that has been recalled and is showing as a failure when I pull the code.
i was reversing and my car was not able to shift anymore and it was stuck on reverse.
The key gets stuck in the ignition. Says it's in park but vehicle was not had to hit the shifter really hard to make sure was in park.

Recall v34, has been open on my car since april 2019. Parts are not available at the dealership. Now my car is stuck in neutral, I can't turn it off. The gear shift seems to be stuck. I can't use it and it's stuck in my parking lot.
Vehicle in motion. Clutch stuck to floor on highway. Almost hit another vehicle because of the malfunction. Took to a repair facility where they said it is a very common problem with darts. I am now having the whole clutch system replaced and they just called me to tell me the flywheel etc is very bad.
My vehicle has had a manufacture safety recall for the shifter cable bushing since april of 2019 but there was no parts available to remedy the situation. In august of 2019 I pulled in a gas station and put my car in park. When I returned and attempted to put my car in reverse the shifter was very loose feeling and it wouldnt come out of park. My local dodge did pay for towing fees and put another defective part on my car after a very rude employee made sure I was aware this would be a one time complimentary service since they didnt have the correct part to fix it. In september of 2019 I received a notice stating there was now parts available to fix the defective part and that I should call to schedule an appointment with my dodge dealer. When I called to make the appointment I was told there was a very long wait list for this repair part and that the manufacturer is limiting the number of parts the dealer is allowed to order per month to 14. It is now november and im being told they still have a lengthy list of customers and they are still limited on how many replacement parts they can order per month. I dont think this is an appropriate way to handle a safety recall situation. There are over 200,000 vehicles with this defective part. I understand thats including the entire us but it would be more appropriate for the manufacturer to distribute parts according to how many people are on waiting lists in each area not 14 parts a month. I am traveling to florida with my 3 children in less than 2 weeks and planned on driving my car but without this issue fixed im afraid of what could happen while im 800 miles away from home. I was told I would recieve a phone call when my name reaches the top of the list but if something happens before then I dont know what im supposed to do especially if im on the road with 3 children.

My 2016 dodge dart has been sitting at a local dealership since very beginning of june 2019- due to v34 the federal safety agency 19v293 transmission shift cable bushing recall! A very scary situation directly related to recall actually happened to me while I was in vehicle on may 31st. I still have not even received a 'recall notice' from chrysler nor any phone or email communication unless I initiated it. I had to beg the local dealership (whom I bought car from 1 yr ago) to get me into a loaner or rental vehicle! Im still in it ! And no explanation from anyone !! I share a vehicle with my 18 yr old daughter & legally I don't believe she is to be driving this rental (due to her age). I need answers pleae ! Getting my vehicle back 'safely repaired' or getting me into another vehicle at chrysler's expense needs to happen asap - to avoid me contacting an attorney.

Car randomly shuts off while driving, whether it is in motion or stationary. Happens on streets and when turning. Bought the car brand new and we have brought the car to the dealership twice for this issues. They can not tell us what is wrong or what is causing this. After today's visit I stated to them that this will not happen again right, and I was told l cant promise you that, and that they do not know what is causing the problem. I said that I have seen on the internet reports of this happening to the same type of car and why is there not a recall .
