Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My clutch has fallen to the floor. Cannot shift. Cannot check fluid levels because there is no access. Apparently there is a wide spread problem with this vehicle and this issue but my VIN is not included, therefore I am unable to get any help fixing this. First start up in the morning. Clutch was fine the night before. Clutch is laying against the floor, basically useless.”
NHTSA complaint #11191933, filed 2019-03, 45,000 miles“Was driving my 2013 Dodge DART, when I went to park the shifter would move but it was not actually changing gears. I had to turn on emergency brake and turn engine off I am now unable to take key out and I had to let the battery die, the vehicle is now disabled in front of a friends house and I am unable to move it.”
NHTSA complaint #11233563, filed 2019-07, 50,000 miles“Airbag ' I was in an accident a few days ago. When I was hit head on, my airbags did not deploy. I also would like to put out there that my car was also totaled and when I was hit I was going 45, and the other driver was going 60. Which is quite a hefty impact for a small car being hit by a lifted 2016 toyota tundra, and for the airbags not to deploy. I am going to be suing Dodge.”
NHTSA complaint #11254686, filed 2019-09, 77,000 miles“My daughter just purchased a 2013 Dodge DART 4 months ago and the transmission control module has already been failing. I know several other 2013 Dodge darts have had a recall for this and unfortunately my daughters car has not but is having the same issue. They wont pay for it without the recall on that VIN # . I think if there is a defect on these 2013 darts they all should be recalled”
NHTSA complaint #11174775, filed 2019-02, 120,000 miles“I was driving on a busy highway. Have a manual transmission. Rpms started going up and down,like I was revving the engine,but was not pushing in gas pedal. Put clutch in to get off an exit, and the clutch stuck to the floor and the car would not go into gear. Left on very busy highway with a child!”
