"URGENT COMPLIANCE ESCALATION FOR the federal safety agency ID: 11766087. My VIN lookup on Oct 09, 2026, explicitly shows Campaign 25V‑674 is 'Incomplete, remedy not yet available.' However, a Chrysler corporate supervisor falsely informed me that my repair was frozen and sent to their 'legal department' because I filed a state consumer complaint. Chrysler is actively misleading consumers and weaponizing internal 'legal reviews' to mask their failure to provide a federally mandated safety recall remedy for a severe rollaway hazard on a vehicle that belonged to my late son who passed away in 2023. I demand federal enforcement step in."

My 2016 Dodge Dart had the shift cable bushing replaced under Recall V34 (the federal safety agency 19V‑293) in December 2024. This week (July 2025), the opposite end of the same shift cable assembly failed, leaving the vehicle stuck in Reverse, unable to start or shift. I was stranded with my three children and had to manually override the transmission to transport the vehicle to the dealership. The dealership confirmed the failure was not the recalled bushing, but instead the other end of the same shift cable system, and refused to cover the repair under the recall. This is a clear safety-related issue involving the same defective shift cable design — one that causes loss of control over transmission gear selection, puts drivers at risk of rollaway, and disables vehicle starting. Dodge/FCA refused to cover the repair, claiming the recall only included one specific bushing, but this is a systemic failure of the same critical control system and should be addressed under an expanded or amended recall. This issue is the exact same symptoms of the original reason for the first recall.

Recall number: 19v‑293 at the beginning of november 2018, I drove up to my house in the driveway, shifted into park, let my foot off the brake, and my car started rolling backwards! I tried shifting into drive again then to try to move it into park again but the light on the dash showed still in park, even though the shifter was in drive. I had to use the emergency brake to stop it from rolling away. The next day, I had it towed to the dealership (courtesy chrysler jeep dodge in tampa, fl) but they said it was no longer covered under warranty and that in order for it to be repaired, I had to purchase the gear shift cable and it would cost me over $500 to replace it. I was furious as this is way outside of my budget. I was able to purchase a transmission shift cable bushing repair kit for $35 off of amazon. My husband and I were able to replace the bushing and it works fine (for now) but my concern is wondering, with this recall, if something is causing the bushing to wear down and break, causing these issues or potentially causing a vehicle crash. I just found out about this recall this month (june 2019) and apparently it's been ongoing since, at the latest, 2016?? And the dealership knew nothing about it? Unbelievable. If the status is "recall incomplete, remedy not yet available" and it's been 3 years, the manufacturer should be able to allow us to trade the car in to a dodge dealership for another vehicle that doesn't have a chance to cause this malfunction with a potential for a vehicle crash, without us getting the worse end of the deal.
