2013 Dodge DART problems and owner complaints

THE 2013 DODGE DART HAS A RECALL SINCE APRIL 2019. THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING ON THE TRANSMISSION END OF THE SHIFTER CABLE WHICH CAN DETERIORATE AND BECOME DETACHED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN THE INABILITY OF THE DRIVER TO ACTUALLY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION, EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER MAY MOVE THE SHIFTER HANDLE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON EVERY FEW MONTHS. VEHICLE IS TRYING TO GO INTO PARK BUT THE SHIFT GETS STUCK. I HAVE BEEN CALLING THE CHRYSLER DODGE DEALER SINCE APRIL 2019 BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL.

I CONTINUE TO HAVE A SERVICE AIRBAG ERROR ON MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE REPORTED TO IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO ASSIST UNLESS A FEE FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND A FEE TO FIX THE ISSUE WHEN IT'S CLEARLY A SAFETY MATTER. TODAY I HAD A REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO A RECALL (V34) TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTING OF MY GEARS. I RESEARCHED RECALLS ON 2013 DODGE DARTS AND SAW RECALLS REPORTED REGARDING THE POWERTRAIN AS WELL AS AIRBAGS. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE A RESPONSE ASAP. THANK YOU AND ENJOY …

WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR WOULD START TO RANDOMLY GO INTO NEUTRAL WHEN IT GOT UP TO HIGHER RPMS, THE CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT HAD NO POWER AND ONCE IT GOT TO A CERTAIN RPM IT WOULD REV UP AND NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THE CLUTCH WOULD STILL SHIFT INTO GEARS BUT COULD NOT HAVE MUCH POWER AT ALL UNLESS YOU WENT EXTREMELY SLOW AND BUILT UP THE SPEED AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. AFTER THAT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. NO MATTER WHAT GEAR YOU PUT IT INTO, IT REGISTERS THAT IT'S IN NEUTRAL ALL THE TIME. THE SHIFTER PHYSICALLY SHIFTS INTO A GEAR, BUT EVEN AFTE…

THE WIRING CABLE THAT IS INSIDE THE WIPER CONTROL ARM TO THE LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL THAT CONTROLS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAS CRACKED DUE TO THE FRAILE WIRES AND THE CONTINUED ACTIONS OF USING THE WIPERS. THE WIPERS STAY ON AT A SLOW SPEED ALL OF THE TIME. UNABLE TO CONTROL THE FUNCTION. WEARS OUT HW MOTOR FOR THE ARMS / WIPERS, AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE CAR. WHEN CAR IS STARTED, THE ARMS ROTATE NON STOP/ CANNOT FIND A REPLACEMENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC SAID HE CAN MAKE REPAIRS IF THERE WAS REPLACEMENT PARTS. I DON'T WANT TO DIE DRIVING T…
