I purchased a new Dart, 2013 Limited 1.4 Turbo (Manual) and when I say new, it had to be built because there were't any on the lots yet. I always felt the car lacked power but assumed it was just the way the car was. Getting out of 1st gear was really tough. Around 6K, after a long road trip, I started to hear a grinding noise when cutting the wheel and throttling in 1st gear or reverse, basically parallel parking. I brought the car to the dealer for its 1st major tune up and mentioned it and they said the didn't hear the noise ( I also mentioned the airbag light would not go away) the air bag light was gone but soon to return. At 9k, I brought the car in again for the same issues! Air bag light gone (soon to return) but they said they didn't hear the noise. At 19K I was fuming and got them to go on a test drive with me and they heard they noise! They tried to say it was the CA intake I put in, but I assured them it wasn't and gave them the OEM part to prove them wrong. Low and behold after a week they come back with "clutch bearings"! I got the car back and it feels like a- BRAND NEW CAR!! It's Amazing! It has power, pick up, the clutch is MUCH easier to work and no noise! I was startled by the power! This is the car I thought I was buying. I have no idea how much gas economy I've wasted after 19k, but I'm just glad to finally have this issue resolved! I really hope this helps those out there so if you have a manual shift and no power/pick-up out of 1st, insist they CHECK THE CLUTCH BEARINGS! Now let's hope the airbag light doesn't come back on.
