When car is put in park, the key is unable to be taken out of the ignition and the car remains on. Ongoing issue. Was told the previous recall (something with cable bushing) would fix the issue. It did not.

When I first got this car three years ago I had a shift problem in the transmission it got stuck in the gear and I couldn't pull the key out when I did some research I realize that there was a recall so of course I went to the dealership and have them take a look at it to fix it they said that I will still be charge in the problem wasn't even originally fixed they rigged it they just made it to where I could pull off but I was still charged and now a couple years later I am having transmission problems again and the dealership is saying that I need a transmission as I am doing a research I realize that my transmission again has a recall on it.

From control arms are welded down and some sort of screw goes through transmission. Mechanics are unable to remove and replace the front control arms because of that. If I cannot get the front control arms replaced, I cannot get an wheel alignment.

I have had the brakes replaced twice due to it shaking while trying to stop. I also have put on three sets of rotors due to the shaking and even with brand new rotors the bouncing and shaking will not go away. The newest problem now is the brakes not wanting to work. I have had them checked by mechanics and they say there's nothing to do but change them out again!

Last night I was driving onto a highway entrance. I went to switch from 1st to 2nd gear. I was going about 25 mph when this happened. I pushed in the clutch pedal to shift gears and I heard a loud click. I lifted my foot off the pedal and the pedal was stuck, pushed all the way in. I had to pull off of the road, and by hand, pull the pedal up. Now every time I push the clutch pedal in to shift gears it gets stuck and I have to wedge my foot under the pedal to pull it back up with my foot. I only did this to drive my car back home. I haven't driven it since.

This happened to me last year around October to December and it is now happening again. I start my car and I will be driving. The car will then stop running while I'm in drive, steering wheel locks up but radio and everything will still be on. It is almost like my car died. I am then stuck wherever the car breaks down on me at and I will try and start my car. It usually take 2 or 3 times before it eventually starts back up. And I only have to turn the key over once and it will keep turning over the engine until I turn the key to turn the vehicle completely off. It also seems as if I have to sit and wait for the car to run for a minute when it does start back up before I can take off again or it will just die on me again while im driving down the road. I have no check engine light on or any other light on until it shutdown on me. Usually its the battery light of check engine light. But as soon as it starts up again they are gone. I keep up to date on my oil changes. I have no clue why it does this. I also recently changed my battery. I also had battery and alternator tested and they were good. Theres times I notice my car idling on its own when I start the car and when I take it out of park it wants to take off on its own. Both of these issues doesn't happen every time or everyday. Its scary when it does happen as I could be going down the interstate when my car randomly wants to shut down on me. It feels unsafe.

My check engine light is on. I had it checked it's not reading anything. My right turn signal light keep going out. I have paid Firestone in East chase in montgomery al to replace the socket and I have had the bulb changed out at least 3 times. My trunk started out opening by it self. I had the battery replaced in the remote. Now the trunk will not open at all. The reverse lights are out. I replaced the bulbs. Still won't work, the trunk light is out. Now the car has started to beep beep like I have locked or unlocked the door when I have not touched it. I have to replace my battery every 3 months. Something is wrong. I have paid money at brewbaker and Firestone in montgomery al. I still have the same problem. When I start the car up. The car beeps beeps when it is parked and the doors locked.

No oil light on, no engine light, and it stalled. There is a problem with oil consumption with the 2.4 engine. My car died after backing out of my driveway and starting a turn. Y car stalled out twice in the middle of intersections very dangerous. Battery light came on, music continued, but enginge just died. The steering wheel froze (no more power steering), and I couldn't press my brake down, it just sat there in the road. I checked the level of my oil and it doesn't even cover the curved part of the dipstick, that's how low it is.the car stalled out again, a few months after the oil change. The car is not indicating when it needs oil, and is shutting itself off so it doesn't over heat while driving at speeds 70mph+ and in the middle of intersections while turning.

My brake calipers are loose on the vehicle so much that you can shake them with your bare hands and as you drive down the road you hear a noise that sounds like a clicking sound I would like this to B looked at as a possible recall if others are having the same issue. Im worry that it could cause an accident and my son or I could get hurt or hurt someone else. You can hear this noise as you are driving especially when U hot a small bump on my private road I live on.

Tire pressure monitoring systems a malfunctioning TPMS light will not notify an owner of an improperly inflated tire. An improperly inflated tire may experience a complete loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

The 2015 Dodge Dart was purchased in September of 2018 with 35,000 miles on it. It has been regularly maintained had hasn't had any issues until November 9, 2019. The car was started that morning and idled approximately 2-3 minutes, it drove about 60 feet and stalled, power steering and brakes where lost. The battery light was illuminated on the dash board. When trying to restart it struggled, but eventually turned over. It then drove fine. Once at home I research the issue and found multiple reports like mine of engines stalling due to excessive oil consumption.

The right window no longer works as well as the driver side window. The trunk is also not wanting to open. Key gets stuck in ignition every time I try and turn the car off. Shift cables also broke, I was just getting home when it happened I heard something snap but didn't think much then I parked and tried to drive off again and the car wouldn't shift to drive I could move the stick.back and forth still, had it replaced a couple of days later they said the whole rod had come out and shot into something else in the vehicle had shift fixed. Also had motor mouths fixed the mouths became loss within a couple of days now I believe the ac compressor is messing up ac kicks on but no air comes out, but it only happens once in a while car also stays cold for a long while and makes a weird clicking noise when I start it up. Also smells like oil. Passage seat also is stuck. This all happened within 2years ive had the vehicle.
