Took a 100 mile trip, when I got home and parked the car in the garage I smelled a burnt metallic/fiber smeall. Halfway into my trip I noticed the gear shift lever was hard to shift. The car is a 2013 Dodge Dart aero with almost only 17,000 miles on. All service records are available. All recalls were dealt with also.

I have had nothing but issues with my 2013 Dodge Dart limited. I purchased it with 36,900 miles on it back in July of 2016. Here we are in July of 2020 and the car does not even have 67,000 miles on it. My problem listed was created only roughly a week after purchasing. The entire uconnect system makes my vehicle unable to operate safely. Whether it's the screen going black where I can not control/change anything. The touch screen is everything volume, HVAC, bluetooth, 'supposed to work with remote start. I have had my codes checked; cylinder 1 module misfire. After doing research and my vehicle being stuck unable to drive because it simply would not start(acted like it would but would not.) for the entire winter of 2018. Come summer of 2019 the air was still horriblebut my infant was now in the vehicle. Seeing a poor newborn have sweat rolling off his face on a way to a doctors appointment probably is what done me in the most. This vehicle has some cool uconnect bells and whistles but it is like they attempted to put something in a vehicle that was not capable of handling all the advancements. I have had my car to the dealership 4 times.I've replaced parts within the HVAC twice! now my odometer is blinking; red flag.I am seriously scared to drive this vehicle. It sits for most of the time.in the lasr 2 years I've maybe driven it a total of 5,000 if that! I have my car almost completely paid off and have not even been able to put over 31,000 miles on it in 4 four years!how absurd and ridiculous! the dealership always want to run a diagnostic even though they have mentioned the issues each time I've paid for them previously. They just have 'quick fix' as the gentleman told me for this. I am a single mother going to college that cannot financially afford all this! the car randomly after being shut down will not restart. Been stuck for a couple months now in the garage.

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. While driving, the transmission malfunctioned and shifted gears. The failure occurred intermittently during the change of seasons. The failure occurred originally when the vehicle was first purchased. The vehicle was taken to huntington Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram (1220 E jericho turnpike, huntington, NY 11743, (631) 993-3300) where the transmission was reprogrammed. When the vehicle was purchased, the contact suspected there was an issue because the dealer was attempting to repair a defective part. The vehicle was also brought back at the time of purchase for overconsumption of oil. The contact had to pay for an oil consumption test, which was still an ongoing issue with the vehicle. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic who referred the contact back to the manufacturer. The manufacturer stated that there were no recalls and advised the contact to call NHTSA. The failure mileage was 10,000.
