Problems with 2013 Dodge Dart ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

My radio has blacked out for no reason. my mileage on my digital instrument panel is flashing. when i take it to the dodge dealer with this being a known issue, they want to charge me $128 dollar diagnostic fee in which i do not have. i have asked both my mechanic and a radio installer and they both have said that the mileage flashing is a concern along with the radio blackened out. that one problem could lead to another. possible cause is the control module for the entire car, which could lead to door locks going haywire, the wipers going on and off, etc. my car was stationary when yhe radio went out and the mileage flashing. radio usually goes out for about 10 mins and comes back on. but not this time.

My car is currently drivable however i recently found out that i need the oil pressure monitor replaced along with the wiring in the steering system due to oil damage from the oil pressure monitor being broken. the radio and rear view camera also need to be replaced. these are too many issues for a fairly new vehicle. apparently there have been numerous changes complaints about this vehicle but i'm continuously being told that there are no recalls despite ongoing issues with the vehicle that have to deal with manufacturing issues. the radio started malfunctioning over a year ago. the windshield wipers/oil pressure switch issues have only been happening approximately 2 months. the rear view mirror stopped working today. the car has also has issues stall no, not starting, and cutting off while the car is stopped for about a year now.

This is a safety issue and should be covered under warranty at any time. i have owned several cars and this has never, ever happened before!! i called my local dealership and informed them of my issue. the service dept. attendant told me to hurry in so they could look at it. i left work early for them to tell me that, yes there is an issue. he then stated that i would need to wait a week to make an appointment for my car to be seen. i took it back to my local dealership last night and did an early drop off, since my appointment was for april 10th. i called at 1:00 since i hadn't heard anything from the dealership. miguel then stated that they hadn't had an opportunity to look at my car! i asked what the point was for me to make an appointment and take it in early if my vehicle was not going to be "looked" at? he proceeded to tell me they aren't able to look at my car until the cars ahead of mine were fixed. why make an appointment? he then called me two hours later and stated that i would need to pay $400 for the sensor module to be replaced. honestly, since so many people are having the exact same issue maybe dodge should have a class action lawsuit against them to fix this safety issue. i am a single mother of 3 teenagers. it is difficult to keep up financially when all of these problems are occuring in a relatively new car!!! in january i had to pay the dealership $500 for the dash module to be replaced! i purchased this vehicle in december of 2014 and it seems like i have had one problem after another, the battery, the main module, the key fob, the seatbelt system, to name a few. i am very unhappy with this vehicle and would really caution those that want to buy a dodge dart. afterall, it can't be that great, their own company doesn't stand behind an essential part of the vehicle. i guess it's about the money, not the people lives or safety.

I have been having ongoing problems with my 2013 dart sxt since about 5 months after purchase. one of the first things that happened was the passenger door handle coming off - more than once - and having to be fixed. i believe this occurred three times. each time it was "fixed" and then the handle would come off again. the last time the handle came off, i was no longer under warranty so now i just have a passenger door with no handle until i can afford to get that fixed. as far as the electrical problems i have had: the dash display goes completely dark and resets itself when i am driving - especially if the weather changes; my traction control and check engine lights come on randomly; my heat/ac turns on or up without anyone touching it (at random) and i've frequently had problems with trying to get the vehicle to start when it is cold outside. my remote start stopped working over a year ago, but because i first had my electric worked on at frank fletcher dodge, and had to take it back a second time because the problems weren't fixed, i stopped trying. any other place i've taken my car always suggests i go back to the place where the electrical work started but i do not want to do that because it seems like problems get worse every time i have taken it to get fixed. my dash/clock resets at complete random. i have been driving and hit pot holes on the street and bumps on the highway that made the whole system reset while i was still driving. even this monday, i started my car at the end of my workday only to find that my clock and audio settings were reset again. i was trying to keep track of the service records from frank fletcher dodge and others but may have lost some from all of the times i have had to call them in the past few years. i have been expecting some sort of recall or buy back due to the all of the complaints that have been filed, but no luck.

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.

For years my cars traction light will randomly come on and sometimes my gear would stick, every time the dealership would say they could not find anything and the light would turn off. now my car keeps slipping into neutral well i'm on the freeway going abouy 75/80 mpg. now it's doing it constantly. this has been going on since i bought the vehicle brand new in 2014.

While driving on the interstate, my car caught fire. i noticed my battery light come on about 1 mile from my exit and less than a minute later fluid sprayed onto my windshield from under my hood. i immediately pulled off to the side of the interstate and as soon as i stopped, smoke started pouring out from under my hood. i walked away from the car and called 911 at that point. during the 911 call there was only smoke coming out from the engine bay area. right near the end of the call i started to see plastic that was on fire dripping below the car onto the grass. the fire department arrived less than 5 minutes later and the entire engine bay was in flames, 10-20 feet high. the fire melted all the plastics and most of the metal outside of the frame and engine. even the steel hood was melted away and gone. my car had a long history of electrical issues dating back a little over a year from the time of the fire. during that time, the electrical issues encountered included the dash becoming completely unresponsive and no electronics working, the dash screen rebooting while driving, the car cutting off while driving, the speedometer and tachometer not working, and more. during the trips to the dealership, they replaced the pcm, bcm (three times), and the battery. at one point, chrysler engineering was involved and they were unable to determine what was wrong and said the car looked like it was struck by lightning. enough parts were finally replaced to fix the car, temporarily, before more issues. a couple months before the fire i tried to get chrysler to buy the car back because of the electrical issues but it was denied. after the fire, chrysler and keffer both denied any fault on their part. yet, i have a third party fire report showing the fire was electrical and started in the area of the bcm, pcm and battery. all the prior faulted parts.

2013 dodge dart with 2 liter motor auto transmission. the car won't start. on the shifter all letters on gear indicator shows red (p,r,n,d) engine light on. car will. it start in any gear. this is the third shifter assembly i had to purchase to fix the problem . vehical was stationary when it wouldn't start , when it was running the gear indicator light went red car shifted hard. also wouldn't indicat what gear it was in on the dash. now car won't start at all.

The dash instrument cluster went out on my vehicle. i was driving out of the parking lot, no warning just went black. the speedometer, tach, gas gauge, engine lite, tire pressure oil indicator nothing works. i feel this is a safety issue. the quote for repair is 1500.00

Manufacture recall number r36 nhtsa recall number 15v-800 recall incomplete

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. while attempting to park the vehicle, it failed to shift into reverse. in addition, the vehicle was turned off and failed to restart. the contact was unable to remove the key from the ignition. the contact called an unknown dealer and was informed that there was no recall on the vehicle. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 69,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. the contact stated that the gear failed to shift from the drive to the park without warning. in addition, the key from the ignition failed to be removed. the vehicle was taken to the flowery branch auto care dealer located at 3507 atlanta hwy, flowery branch, ga 30542; where it was diagnosed that the shifter cable needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the contact stated on another occasion, while driving at 55 mph, the gear automatically shifted to neutral without warning. the contact could not change the gear, the contact tried to pull over to the side of the road but the vehicle failed to move. the contact waited 25 minutes and the vehicle was able to shift out of neutral. the vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 57,940.

This car has gone through cylinders, spark plugs, 3 batteries including the factory one, throttle control computer all in less than 50k miles. never gets more than 10k miles before there is another issue, quite possible the worst vehicle i have ever purchased and there's no doubt in my mind after reading forum after forum of the exact same issues experienced by hundreds if not thousands of other owners and dealer responses that there was good reason to discontinue the production of this model and the model years thereafter. unfortunately, we are all stuck with payments on cars that put us at significant safety risk because of frequent and random stall outs, including one that happened to myself at highway speed, and another on a dark desolate country road, and fca won't do anything about it other than offer a 5% discount on a brand new vehicle, for which comparable size and price no longer exists within the brand. this car is the definition of a lemon, we bought it certified used from dodge after the car had a single owner and with neither the dealership nor the brand offering any sort of significant assistance in remedying this product defect other than repairs within warranty that keep us on the road for another month before the next breakdown, we are forced to pay for and drive a vehicle that puts our family at risk even more than in general. unbelievable.

Have had to replace battery twice in four years and now none of the electronics are working in the interior of my car. it was bought brand with no other owner! this is very costly and unfair to be a new vehicle.

The car is turned off a ticking sound continues go off with the back lights flashing no keys in car fire department called to very a safe tow and my car sits there until the next day won't start windows down and it's a hazard to tow

Takata recall: there has been multiple issues with this car including loss of power, rapid shifting, transmission failure, stalling, and overheating. the check engine light and transmission light have come on multiple times, the tcs and passenger airbag lights have come on and off at the same time. this car has had 2 pcm's replaced, 4 tcm's replaced, 2 transmissions (the last one replaced less than one week ago), 2 sets of spark plugs and coils replaced, timing belt, serpentine, and water pump replaced. the transmission, serpentine, timing belt, and water pump were all replaced on 7/21/17 and now the car is presenting with the same issues. these problems started with the first owner (and were not reported to me) on 8/6/13 and started with me on 4/16/15. as of 8/2/17 i have the same whining noise in the car (which has been diagnosed as the transmission multiple times now), the transmission is unable to shift or lags or shifts too quickly, i can floor the gas peddle and the car will not accelerate, when i let off the brake the car surges forward, the check engine light is back on, and the cruise control is not functional. this car has been in the shop more than i have driven it and dodge keeps repairing it and those repairs last less that one month and the same problem happens again and again. this car is unsafe to drive and dodge has yet to remedy the situation. the car is set to be back in the shop this week and it is currently not drivable and a hazard to myself and others on the road. i would not be able to accelerate to move out of the way of anyone or anything due to the transmission and issues with this vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. while driving 35 mph, the battery warning and service abs warning indicators illuminated, and the steering seized. the contact stated that the vehicle started sputtering and several electrical functions became inoperable, including the steering, instrument cluster, and radio. the contact turned off the vehicle and was able to restart it after several attempts. once restarted, the vehicle vibrated abnormally. the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. the failure occurred twice. neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 42,000.

Intermittent battery light coming on and off. i am on battery number three and my second alternator and nobody can tell me what is wrong with it. as i was driving, the battery light came on, then the service abs, then the ac went off, and then the service power steering came on. this caused me to lose my power steering while traveling on the highway. i have had multiple diagnostics, all stating that the battery was testing fine, along with the alternator and starter. after installing a new battery and alternator, battery light still intermittently comes on. when the light is on, the alternator is reading around 6v and when it is off, it is reading between 13-14v. whenever the light comes on, there is the sound of a relay or something happening. not sure what else to do. the vehicle is 4 years old and i am scared to drive it anywhere or have my children in it. i have looked online and numerous people are complaining about the intermittent battery light and issues associated, so i do not think that there is wiring damage to every single one of these vehicles.

Engage parking brake to prevent rolling alert comes on after about 10-15 minutes of driving and coming to a complete stop. the alert subsequently comes on every time the car stops after this initial phase. on occasional, when the car comes to a complete stop and is put into "park" and the alert comes on, it will not shift into any other gear. to correct this issue the car must be turned off and allowed to sit for at least 10-15 seconds, restarted, and will then allow you to shift to another gear. the alert will then again come on whenever the car is brought to a complete stop.

While driving, experiencing intermittent issues with low power during acceleration, back firing, misfiring, check engine light & traction control comes on, stays on. cruise control will not work when this happens. after a few days, corrects itself and is ok for a day or so but continues again. very concerning in traffic. clutch went all the way to floor, took to dealership and so far not reoccurring (recall). electrical issue, possible something staying open, draining battery. after sitting all day, car would not unlock, had to enter car with actual manual unlock. upon opening, the dash lights were all flashing, the display screen was flashing unreadable images. all instrument panel lights came on, stayed on. when door shut, panel lights went off and the fuel and speedometer gauges starting jumping, opened the door, gauges stopped and lights came on. wiper blades activated on their own, very slowly. could not unlock any door or open trunk during this time. jumped the car, started very quickly. will need to replace the battery as it is not charging fully. rear brakes are not wearing properly.. car mileage 35,500.. very unhappy with this car's performance.

There was already a recall on my vehicle. then i have had two brand new starters put into my car at the chrysler dealership and both times the starters were burned to a crisp in less than 48 hours. now i'm having transmission issues and no one knows what's going on

A few things has been occurring regarding my car. the first thing is my check engine light has come on several times and when i got it checked, the car wouldn't start right at the dealership. the dealership was finally able to get the car started, however, they reported nothing was wrong with the car. the second thing and most scariest is my brakes. my brakes are totally messed up as they constantly lock and it's hard to press on the breaks. therefore i do not drive long distances because i am afraid i won't be able to stop in time. i've taken my car to get diagnosed and they told me the my brakes and rotars are severely damaged and infact it won't pass the safety check in the state of ny.

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 dodge dart. while driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle stalled and the contact pulled the vehicle off the road. the transmission failure warning indicator illuminated. after manually restarting the vehicle, the contact heard an abnormal sound and noticed flames. the fire department was called and extinguished the flames. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to a salvage yard and deemed destroyed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: p017056449. the manufacturer stated that an investigator would inspect the vehicle. the failure mileage was approximately 37,500.

Car shuts down while driving - battery light flashes and i am unable to accel. no power what-so-ever. this has happened 4 times twice at 45 mph and twice at 70 mph. battery has been replaced twice. * car stereo/screen powers down while driving and resets * all lights in car go out for a short time and come back on * rushing water sound while accel. * car gets up to 4,000rpm's to go from zero to 30mph * issue with break delays * knocking sound from front right side of car

There are two issues that i have returned my vehicle to the dealership for repairs multiple times and paid significantly for the non-repair. the first is the centerstack display. the display will intermittently go blank typically following a left hand turn. the vehicle has been in twice for this condition and still displays the failure. the second is the transmission. based on a fca recall, the vehicle was taken to the dealership for a transmission reflash! at that point there had never been an issue with the transmission while driving. since that event however, the vehicle has never performed as expected. the vehicle was returned to the dealership only to learn there was a problem with the transmission module so that was replaced. unfortunately, the problem is now worse. the vehicle shifts so rough, that it feels like the vehicle could stop at anytime. this is very concerning because i am not comfortable that i can accelerate into traffic which could cause an accident.

My car has stalled while i am driving on public roads. after taking it into the dealership, they said there is nothing that they could do. it has now happened 4 times. the first time i was pulling out of my high school parking lot going about 10-15 mph. the second time was pulling out of the dealership servicing department going about 35 mph. the third time was in my driveway while going about 5 mph. the last time was on a straight away going about 45 mph the steering and brakes locked up and i had to forcibly turn the steering wheel to get the car to the shoulder. the car has also ben in the shop numerous times due to issues with the tire pressure sensors, the central computer, and the display screen. overall, the car has over 30 pages of service done on it, ranging form 2,600 miles to 37,000 miles. i just was informed by the chrysler resolution team that my car will not be bought back or no compensation will be given. i cannot drive the car, because it is unsafe to be n the road for myself and those on the road with me. if the car were to stall on the freeway, i could be killed or seriously injured.

I had my 2013 dodge dart for 3 years and for a year and a half i've had problems with tires to the point where they popped while driving, brand new tires, used tires it didn't matter. i spent so much money on just tires. to top it off i can't get the check engine light off because of the bcm and a leak somewhere. i went through all the procedure i brought a new gas cap, i brought a new sensor, i checked the wires no holes and nothing has worked. i still have two codes on my vehicle still after spending a lot of money to get it off

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. the contact stated that the wipers failed to turn off, and the automatic start function failed to work because the turn signals and horn activated when attempting to use the fob. the dealer (eastgate chrysler jeep dodge ram, 500 shadeland ave, indianapolis, in 46219, (317) 352-9361) stated that further diagnostic testing was required. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the failure mileage was 85,000.

Dash panel and radio lights flicker intermittently. battery has been replaced and problem continues. problem has evolved to half dash lights not working. obviously this occurs when the vehicle is in motion. this situation has been on going.

January 15, 2017 i parked my dodge dart in the parking lot. upon my departure i was able to turn the ignition and drive around the bend to pick up passengers. once i came to a complete stop my engine shut off, all service lights came on (mirror warning lights, check engine lights, dashboard shift indicator stuck on "drive" rather than "parked") and no power steering. the vehicle was in 'park' but continued to roll backwards. i was in a full parking lot at the beach on a holiday. multiple people where lined up behind my car to park/ pick up their passengers. had i not have to pick up passengers i would have ended up on a hill (the first turn out of the parking lot is a fairly steep incline) most likely causing a horrific accident. i believe the issue is the power train/ shifter cables. i have not felt safe in this car since ive bought. nor has it been reliable. brought brand new and i have been to the car dealership multiple times for recalls/ check engine lights and oil changes.

Have a 2013 dart sxt 1.4t manual. i'm going on 2 years with the car, bought it with just under 20k. since buying it, i've had spouts of check engine light for underboost occasionally come on and go back off soon after, never much of a bother since it never lasted long enough to get the dealership to catch it while the light was still on. yesterday, 1/10/17, my car was driving normally until i tried to get on the highway, at about 40 mph the engine started stuttering pretty bad, but i didn't think anything of it because no lights were coming on the dash. until i hit 50. suddenly the ce light started flashing, the car wouldn't go above 50 mph and the rpms wouldn't even hit 4000. pulled over, turned the car off and back on, the ce light was back off. revved the engine for a bit, no issues. as soon as i attempted to accelerate again, the ce light started flashing and then stayed solid this time. called a tow truck to tow the car to the dealer since clearly it was dangerous to be driving. once i got to the dealer, started the car up to move it into a parking spot and suddenly neither the tachometer or speedometer were working. they were working normally on the side of the highway. its like the entire powertrain decided to have a total meltdown all at once. this is not acceptable for a 3 year old car with less than 50k miles on it. i have changed the intake on the car and the hot/cold side piping for the intercooler, but they have been on the car for over a year and i've been sure to regularly check connections and keep them well maintained to prevent any issues, there's no way they are the cause of the powertrain suddenly having a meltdown. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. while driving approximately 25 mph, the instrument panel failed and blacked out. the dealer diagnosed and replaced the panel. the failure recurred and was not remedied. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. the failure mileage was approximately 37,000.

The cars airbag light keeps coming on. it comes on and off with bumps in the road. now the cars seatbelt audio goes off even though the seat belts on. this has been to the dealership a few times and still not fixed.

Bluetooth don't work. $600 to fix at 45,000 miles. now my prdn lights up all red. will clear only when i turn car off and back on. took car to auto zone and its not giving any codes

Took in 4 recall brake booster ended up with having to replace entire clutch assemby to the tune of $2300. had the car for less than 48 hours and it completely shut down could not crank or put hazzard lights on and was in rush hour traffic had to have it towed back to dealership.

I purchased my dodge dart at 21,000 miles. 30,000 miles car shuts off on highway. total power loss. dodge was able to limit the problem however ran rough and at about 45000 miles car shifted hard now at 70000 dodge tells me it's the transmission valve body. 3,000 dollar repair. at this point car is not worth 3000. still shuts off completely while driving. transmission control module is recalled for the 2013 dart however not my vin# ????? i see tons of people with the same issues even cases against dodge for this model. however they are unwilling to help me out with any issues i bring to their attention. unfortunate. for me.

I have replaced the hi/lo beam headlamps multiple times, when i went to change it this time, the receiver plug housing on the wire harness is melted to the point that it will need to be replaced, unable to attach the new bulb and the old bulb was nearly fused due to the heat when it melted, luckily it did not catch on fire

At times the car will not start back up until you wait about 10 minutes and everything has to be off for it to do so. newest problem is it suddenly slams on brakes while already stopped, the control panel's lights come on, it won't go into second gear sometimes problems with third gear. in order to fix this you have to keep turning the car off and waiting about 7 minutes for the computer to reset itself then it's good until maybe next day.

The airbag light comes on anytime the outdoor temperature is above around 85 degrees. the dodge dealership says nothing is wrong, but the light still comes on. my car was in the shop multiple times for issues with the electrical system. the battery has been replaced 2-3 times since 2013. interior lights sometimes flicker. the navigation system resets itself randomly and now it can't "find" the maps. they are just gone somehow. the sd card slot works sometimes and not others, same with the backup camera. dodge has been completely unable to fix these.

My key fob gets stuck inside the ignition. i have reported the issue to dodge in july. they claimed nothing was wrong. when i told them i had to keep turning my wheel to get my key to release and my dad came up there and let them know he saw it with his own eyes and wasn't going to accept that, they reexamined the car and said they found a bur in the ignition blocking the key from releasing the key. they kept my car 5 days to order a new ignition cylinder, so they claim would resolve the issue. less than a month, i am having the same problem. i phoned the service manager, he told me to put shift the car gears and it should release the key. it did on 8/13/16. he said it sounds like the electrical isn't recognizing the car is in park. but i thought the new ignition cylinder took care of the problem back in july i told him. he said it could be a stenoid problem but won't know until i bring the car back. i don't have money to keep spending on car rental insurance and time to keep being inconvenienced because dodge failed to inspect the electrical part of their car.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. while attempting to drive the vehicle, it failed to start and the transmission service and engine warning indicators illuminated. the failure recurred twice. in addition, while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle made an engine start noise and then accelerated without warning. the contact depressed the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery and the transmission cable failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that once the dealer diagnosed the failure, they would determine if the vehicle was covered by the warranty. the approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

I had my car for 5 months before having electrical issues. every light in the dash came on my car started to slow down on it's own until it came to a complete stop. every gear on the shifter turned red after putting the car in park leaving me with nothing else to do but turn the car off. after turning it off i tried to turn the key over to restart but the car wouldn't come on at all. after that i had my car tired to one dodge dealership, which it stayed for 2 weeks until they decided they didn't know what to do so they had me you're it to another dodge dealership where it stayed 2 months. after replacing the harness twice, the abs module twice and the shifter cable they told me it was ready. i picked up my car thursday and guess what two days later (today to be exact) it has done it again. i'm not only afraid to drive this car, i am down to no vehicle again.fyi this is about $4000 later.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. while driving at a low speed, the vehicle failed to switch from the neutral position. in addition, the ignition key became lodged in the vehicle and could not be removed. the vehicle was taken to a dealer to be repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failures. the failure mileage was 97,000.

The car won't start. battery is completly dead. won't even charge. (that's not the big deal) the big deal is when i try to reverse it's like it doesn't want to get in gear. then whole car shakes, and then it feels like the transmission stops and is about to drop. gear shift lights all turn red. have to start car and turn back on to get it to go to normal. engine light comes on too. then eventually turns off.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. the contact stated that it took numerous attempts to start the vehicle. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 28,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. the contact stated that the battery warning indicator intermittently illuminated while driving 45 mph. the vehicle was taken to hall chrysler located on virginia beach blvd in virginia beach, va where it was diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. while driving approximately 55 mph, the battery warning indicator illuminated, the air conditioner stopped functioning, and the abs and power steering warning indicators illuminated. the contact coasted the vehicle into a shopping center where it stalled. the contact attempted to restart the vehicle, but it failed to start. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vin was not included in a recall. no further assistance was provided. the approximate failure mileage was 33,680.

I have just had the tcm replaced for the second time. this time the braket was replace but nothing has changed. i still experience transmission problems. my car will still have problem shifting and will not start.

This car is 3 years old and we have had to replace the body control module (bcm), and transmission control module (tcm). the check engine light is still on and dodge is still trying to find out what is wrong with it. before replacing the body control module the car wasn't starting so the battery was replaced, it turns out the bcm was staying on and drawing power form the battery while the car was off. we were constantly having to jump the car to get it started. after that the transmission started acting funny it would shift hard, shift into low gears while driving on the freeway. also when first started or stopped at a traffic intersections the vehicle would shift into 4th gear on its own unless in sport mode and done manually. this makes it accelerate very slowly which is dangerous especially when pulling out into an intersection. after replacing the tcm the issue with the transmission is still occurring, it is currently being looked and the cause is still unknown.

I have taken my dart to horne motors in globe, az. for recall notice on transmission control module mounting bracket, three (3) times, the last time i was told to trade it in. im still experiencing the "shift into neutral" while gear selector is in drive. the first time was inspection, second was parts replace,and third nothing.
