“6 speed Dodge DART went into neutral and stopped accelerating while being driven on the freeway, car turns on but won't move forward or backwards when accelerated and in gear. I was able to get it over to the side of the road but then it had to be towed to my residence. I had a mechanic take a look at it and they believe it is a transmission motor control problem that other 2013 Dodge darts have also encountered.”
