2013 Dodge DartTransmission & drivetrainFuel system

I purchased the car used approximately 3 years ago, and the vehicle has experienced intermittent loss-of-propulsion and transmission/gear-engagement problems since then thru today. Getting worse. While driving, the vehicle has repeatedly and unexpectedly lost propulsion and behaved as though the transmission shifted into Neutral. The engine can remain running, but pressing the accelerator does not result in normal forward propulsion. The vehicle has also intermittently refused to engage a gear. This creates a...

serious safety risk because the vehicle can unexpectedly lose its ability to accelerate or maintain propulsion while in traffic. The problem is intermittent and unpredictable. The vehicle's records indicate that a previous transmission shift cable bushing recall repair was performed before I purchased the vehicle. Despite that repair being recorded, I have continued to experience these symptoms. Before the recall issue was later raised again, I took the vehicle to an independent mechanic because of these problems. The mechanic advised me that the symptoms appeared related to the previous recall issue and that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. Because of the safety concern, I stopped driving the vehicle for extended periods and rented another vehicle. I later had the Dodge Dart towed to an authorized Dodge dealership for inspection rather than driving it there. I explained the problems I was experiencing. The dealership inspected the vehicle and charged me approximately $200 but reported that it could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. The intermittent symptoms continued afterward. The vehicle remains available for inspection upon request. I am concerned that the vehicle continues to experience loss of propulsion, unexpected Neutral-like behavior, and intermittent failure to engage a gear despite records indicating that the earlier recall repair was completed. I've spent thousands on rental cars to keep my family safe. No help from dealer

2016 Dodge DartFuel system

I own a 2016 Dodge Dart with an active safety recall related to the transmission shift cable bushing. I have contacted dealerships multiple times and have been told parts are not available with no timeline provided. This defect affects the vehicle's ability to properly shift gears and creates a serious safety hazard. I am being forced to drive an unsafe vehicle due to Chrysler's failure to supply recall parts in a reasonable timeframe.

I came home from work, (drove 18 miles) and parked, walked towards my building and I heard a noise, as if something turned on under the hood. Like a electrical motor spinning. And it was not the fan because that one had already turned off. I walk back to the car and pop the hood, white smoke starts coming out and in less than 2 minutes a huge flame comes straight out from the passenger side of the hood. Called the fire department. Fire was on for 4 minutes, neighbor mechanics came running with fire extinguishers...

and put out the fire before the firefighters arrived. Too many parts melted and damaged. So far estimate is at $4,000. I do not have the estimate on paper, since at the moment I did not have budget to fix my car. My car was perfectly fine, services got done regularly. Never had issues other than wear and tear. I've had that car for almost 10 years.

My car has an extremely bad rough idle. I've had an alignment done, new tires, new spark plugs. I've done so much work to this car. I have done some extremely deep research and it is a VERY common issue in the 2013 Dodge dart. One thing I also read, is it could be caused due to all of the ground point nuts being painted over, not creating a strong circuit for the ground. That should be a recall because I cannot physically replace all of those nuts. If that's not the issue, there needs to be an investigation to...

figure out why this car feels like it will stall out, or I'm going to lose a tire going 65 on the interstate. Something isn't right with this car and the dealership needs to diagnose it for free knowing it's such a common issue! I have a very trusted, fully certified mechanic, he has looked at my car, and he is stumped too. No one can figure this out

The car stinks like gas, check engine light has been on. Independent service center advised me that the fuel tank has a leak. Check engine code is also detecting a fuel leak. We have bad headaches due to gas smells inside the car. Even my kids compliant of having headaches due to the gas smell. Puddle of gas above the fuel pump. Thank Can catch on fire due to the leak and strong gas smell. The smell wasn't to strong until year 2022

The car intentionally starts. The radio sometimes works and sometimes has no power. It loses the air conditioner and power windows. It burns off excessive amounts of coolant. It smells like it is running hot but isn't. When turning key the gages bounce and it clicks and clicks. Sometimes it starts and other times it will not. Multiple people have stated the same issues. Spending good amount of money on batteries, starters and alternator. The issue continues. The car is at 94k miles.

It's been having trouble starting. It started with the air conditioning going out, then it would stall in the middle of driving there are some fuses that are burnt up. And some wires in vehicle that are burnt up. When we have trouble starting jumping the vehicle would start it but still would try to stall. Finally the vehicle started stalling on us the power steering is out and we had to pull over we thought jumping it would just kick it back on til we got home. But when we tried it wouldn't start and where the electrical fuel is it started smoking like it was going to catch fire. And I am having to find a way to get it into shop. But for now it's left where we got stalled out.

When the oil life in this vehicle gets low the vehicle randomly stalls. This week my vehicle stalled in the middle of an intersection putting me at risk of bodily harm. I had to have my car towed to the dealership because it would not start. After speaking with the service person at the dealership they said that this is a "safety feature" to protect the engine. This is not the first time this has happened, but it is the first time my vehicle wouldn't start at all.
