“While driving the vehicle the shifter link bushing detached from the cable and came off the transmission causing the shifter to start floating and I lost all control of the shifter so I could not take my car out of the gear it got stuck in”
NHTSA complaint #11685608, filed 2025-09“On January 1, 2024 I was getting in my car to go to work. My car would not shift into drive, or reverse. It said gear not available After about 30 minutes, it finally went into drive. While driving to work, my car shifting into neutral on it's own. I took my car to a local transmission shop where they said it was the dual clutch that needed to be replaced. SO it was replaced. The issue still persisted and they said it was the hydraulic actuator. I took it to my local Dodge dealership where they said it the TCM needed replaced. So that was replaced. …”
NHTSA complaint #11585594, filed 2024-04“I was driving and my car shifted to neutral by itself. I was crossing a 2 lane highway when it happened but thankfully I was able to shift back to drive. I was also using cruise control and i tapped my brakes which would usually cancel cruise control, but my car sped up instead of slowing down. My dealership said my car doesn't qualify for the recall even though it is exactly what is happening to my car. I have 2 young children and this is our only transportation. I need this car to be safe for us though. The dealership said they couldn't look at it for over a week.”
NHTSA complaint #11562993, filed 2024-01“The transmission and powertrain were inspected due to concerns about the car possibly jolting in a different direction and causing an accident. The issue has been confirmed by the dealer, and the vehicle has been inspected by both the dealer and a mechanic. The car does indeed jolt unexpectedly.”
NHTSA complaint #11713443, filed 2026-01“When the vehicle is either in motion or while idle, the climate control will periodically not function at all. Other times when the vehicle is turned on, it will only function at a high setting. The seat warmers on the passenger side and the bluetooth does not work at all. Occasionally, the cruise control button will work to turn the function on, however, setting or resetting the cruise control does not work at all while in motion.”
