06/08/2021. My daughter stopped to gas up at Costco when a notice came up on the dash "Engage Parking Brake to prevent Rollback". She immediately called me to make me aware of it. Once home she again get this message. 06/09/2021. My daughter drove to school with no issues. However, leaving school she was going slowly over a speed bump when the car automatically shifted into PARK. She lost acceleration and the car rolled backwards off of the speed bump while she was wrestling with controlling the steering. The car shuts off and she was unable to start it again. She immediately called me and told me the message displayed again from yesterday "Engage Parking Brake to prevent Rollback". Now the car won't start. I am now on my way to the school when she calls me back to say it started and she is on her way home. I told her to be very careful. 06/10/2021. I drove the car while my daughter followed me to the dealership. On the way to the dealership at every stop the message displayed "Engage Parking Brake to prevent Rollback". While at the dealership I explained the problem and I had brought all repair documents that stated the same issue occurred in a repair with my son (twice), with me, and now with my daughter. It all stem from gear shift cable/bushings/TCM/transmission, which then was covered under warranty or recall. I emphatically didn't want to waste time with a diagnostic when I am sure its related to past repairs. The service tech was trying to convince me it could be something else and the diagnostics will tell them the true cause. I was reluctant but agreed for the diagnostic. I did state that what that diagnostic will show is that the transmission/recall is faulty. 06/11/21. The service tech called me to say the car coded P07B4 [Park Positioning Sensor]. However he never called it a Transmission Park Positioning Sensor because in my opinion this part should be covered under the transmission warranty (see Manual - Parts Covered - Transmission:).

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. While operating the vehicle, a helicopter type noise was present coming from the steering column and the ABS and traction control indicators remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the steering control module was faulty and needed to be replaced.

I was driving down the highway when it was raining then it stopped then it started up again and went to turn on my wipers and they wouldnt turn on, so I called a buddy of mine thats a mechanic and he told me its probly the steering column ribbon broke and sure enough I took it to Dodge and thats what it was. This should be recalled for a defect and should be replaced at no charge this is a almost $500 part to replace it.

I bought a Dodge Dart 2013 limited edition (or was talked into it by your salespeople) I wanted this to be my last car and I actually really liked it. Then I started having transmission problems with the car shifting into neutral randomly. I took it to a Dodge dealer but the problem persisted. This happened three times and they said they did everything they could. A lemon law firm contacted me and said they could replace the car if I had 3 occurrences with receipts which I submitted to them. They said Chrysler was giving me $3900. I was confused because I thought they were giving me enough to replace the car. They explained Chrysler didn't want to do that. I actually forgot about it (that was 2016) and thought the issue had been fixed so I was happy. Now this past July 4th 2019 my transmission problems have returned. My car has 48,000 only and not even the Dodge extended warranty (which I wanted to now purchase) do not cover 2013 models. That speaks volumes to me. They know they sold me a lemon and one that is not safe. I can't afford a new car and have now learned that lemons are bought and sold back to the public. I will never buy or speak well about Chrysler again. You are a fraudulent company. I wanted a Honda originally but was talked out of it by neighbors who work for Chrysler. I will be calling deena centofanti from channel 2 fox to tell her I was sold an unsafe car and I am stuck with it. They already know that Chrysler knew the system design was faulty in 2012 but released the 2013 anyway. Shameful.

I purchased the car July 2017 and has been at the dealer 5 times due to problems. I had a reoccurring issue with the battery light coming up, the dealer found no issues with the battery. March 2018 the battery sign lit up followed by a slew of other signals, including a power steering lock signal, the car started shaking and the power steering locked. I was at the light making a left when this happened. I was able to pull the steering wheel hard enough to make the left and luckily found a parking lot where I could park since I was in a heavily transited area. Attached is a picture I took after I was able to safely park the car. The car was towed to the dealership and they found no issues with the car, I had to pay $250+ for this. November 2018, the bluetooth does not connect, the odometer is blinking continuously and the car shakes when at a stop. The dealership has had the car for three weeks and turns out to be that the bluetooth console needed to be changed ($900+ cost), a tune up was needed 'badly' ($400+) and there was believed to be a problem with a piece of the transmission that was causing the car to shake. The powertrain warranty would cover the cost of this last issue if it was found to be that this was the problem. If it was found that the transmission part was not causing the shaking, we would need to cover the $600+ cost for the labor. We are in process of dealing this matter with a manager at the dealership, since we do not want to keep this car.

I have an ongoing issue about the battery sign coming on sporadically. I took the car 3X to the dealer and nothing was found to be wrong. A couple of month later at least 5 different signs came up while driving, a warning about the power steering also appeared briefly and the steering wheel locked while driving. Luckily I was able to maneuver the car to a safe zone. I had the car towed to the dealership and yet again they found nothing, they told me that no signs appeared. Attached is the one picture I was able to take once I was able to move to a safe zone. Im just scared to drive the car and have this happen again, more so since went that happened I had my two small children with me in the car. I also have a video but I cant upload it.

I parked the car on the side of the street. An hour later, after starting the car and placing the gear in drive, I could not switch gears to reverse or park, and could not shut the car off and remove the key. The gear shift was stuck in drive, and would not disengage even when the battery was disconnected. The car had to be towed. Mobile technician found that the gear shift cable was broken.

In the last 2 weeks, my power steering has stopped working 5 times. At first I could pull over turn the car off and it comes back on. The last time was 2 days ago and now power steering will not come back on at all. There are currently no warning lights on indicating the problem and I could not pull any error codes with my scanner. Every time it has happened, I was on the interstate going around 65-75 mph.

- San Antonio, TX, USA

Electric power steering failure while vehicle in motion, caused by a sensor failure. This caused the vehicle to have diminished control. Dealer wants $1700 to replace the steering box in the hope that it "might fix the problem", the dealer is resistant to checking all relevant sensors related to the electric steering system. Instead the dealer wants to replace the parts one at a time until the vehicle works. The vehicle has been unusable for two weeks now.

My radio with the touchscreen has been replaced 4 times I believe due to an electrical issue-continued to flicker on and off. The visor fell off, now there are no interior lights. Brake recall repair done, but now engine light on, steering wheel locked up while in reverse, all system lights came on looking like failure. Car was accelerating on its own, but when putting foot on gas it would have no effect. Now the car does not start or even turn over including when jump started. I have documentation of the radio repair and brake recall and have videos on my phone of the acceleration with foot on the brake.
