Problems with 2013 Dodge Dart POWER TRAIN

When driving down the road, the car started stuttering and making a whooshing/whistling sound. keep loosing power to the car. when i would try to speed up, it would make it worse, and would make the check engine light start blinking. i ran the code, that came back as code p1eca. i believe this is part of the power train recall, though my car is not on the recall list, i believe it needs to be. this problem came out of nowhere with regular maintenance, and everything i have tried to fix it has not worked.

9/03/15 my transmission went out without warning while going approx 65 mph on the highway. rpm's shot up and the trans went out instantaneously. i was able to pull over, engine and trans lights came on, car would not go in any gear. i shut the car off and was not able to restart it, meanwhile i sat like a sitting duck waiting for a tow truck, hoping that the speeding cars and semi trucks approaching would not crash into me. i had the car towed to a dealer. dealer said the cause was a flashed pcm, it was reprogrammed i was told it fixed the problem. on 9/05/15 1 hour after coming home from work the car would not start again. dealer was closed for the weekend so i let it sit for a while, 2 hours later the car started but would not go in reverse, an hour later, the car had reverse but no drive.the next morning the car started, all lights were off and all gears worked and i was able to drive it to the dealer. the dealer said codes were now showing it was the trans range sensor. got the car back for the 2nd time on sept.16. sept.19 i was driving home from work in the next state, the trans went out again while going 65 mph on the highway again! this time i was left stranded over 70 highway miles from home. after waiting a few hours i was finally was able to drive home, taking take side roads in case the car stopped again. what should've been a 1 1/2 hour ride home on the interstate took me over 5 hours driving on side roads. this car is going back to the dealer again for the 3rd time in 2 1/2 weeks! this is unacceptable, there are too many reports involving this issue on several websites i do not feel safe driving this car anymore or having my wife and kids in it. this is an extremely serious safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately! something needs to happen before (not after) this "known" transmission stalling issue causes a serious accident and kills someone!

1.4 l engine 6 speed manual transmission-has had multiple problem and repairs with weeks at the dealership at a time. traction control light multiple times without resolution. cruise control works intermittently. wipers cone in sometimes when blinder is turned on. car failed to start, would stay on after key was removed from the engine-replaced ignition control module. replaced battery, car back fires, warrantied out 1st coil and spark plug, error code for 3rd cylinder after, dealership stated it was really defective 1st coil and warrantied out again, car still back fires. car wouldn't go in to reverse, differentiation cable had snapped, dealership replaced cable and gear shifter assembly. car wouldn't shift in to 3rd from 2nd gear, dealership replaced throw out bearing, pressure plate and mayer cylinder on "extended warranty" /recall after another 20 days drive 14 miles for wheel bearing failure/abs sensor on front drivers side. dealership replaced both front bearings and abs sensors, technician didn't finish test drive and one of new bearings failed, had to replace again, within 24 hours clutch wouldn't depress, then went to the floor, lifted with my foot still couldn't get car in to gear. turned car off, removed key, started asian and was able to get in to gear. car is making clicking sound when clutch is depressed and some times after release there is scraping sound. you tube video of another person's car maxing same sound http://youtu.be/jjyrrr8xrsy states flywheel had to be replaced. there's probably more that i'm forgetting to note but it is clear from this vehicles poor performance more will ensue, how can i get out of this undependence service ridden vehicle? after how many failures will some one make dodge step up?

This has been an ongoing-intermittent problem/issue. the hydraulic clutch system (manual trans) will lose pressure which means that the clutch pedal will go to the floor and i can't shift the transmission. at times it is only doing this first thing in the morning but will get pressure after "pumping it up" a few times. it will lose pressure after driving for a period of 15-20 minutes meaning that when coming to a stop i am unable to downshift. once stopped, when it has lost pressure, if you leave the transmission in first gear, or reverse, it will move when the ignition key is put into the start mode when the clutch pedal is fully depressed! there have never been any fluid leaks or signs that the level has gone down. i have seen on a dodge dart owners website that this is a problem that others have had as well.

When i went to turn my car on, which is a manual, my clutch pedal stayed engaged and would not release and my car would not turn off. i could not turn the key to turn the car off. i had to wait a few minutes before the clutch released and i was finally able to turn my car off. when i tried again to turn my car on the clutch pedal once again stayed engaged and would not release but i was able to turn my car off the second time. and try again and again until the clutch would return after i turned the car on

When trying to start the car the clutch pedal will get stuck down and not engage. if this happens when driving it could cause an accident.

I have not been notified at all on my recalls. there has been several things i've called my dealership on and i thought it had been fixed not knowing it was a recall. but it is not fixed. my transmission won't let me put car in reverse very easy. my car engine rpms get higher when i approach to stop. it acts like it's not getting enough fuel st times like it cuts out. my bluetooth is hard to connect. my front driver tire has wore out 2 side walls tires but has never went flat but never shows it's very low but it is never the same as others. my car front driver makes a noise like suspension is messed up and it's very rough riding. i no longer get good gas mileage. when i go to park my car it wants to roll aft err being put in park. the breaks are very touchy. barely graze the pedal and you'll hit the steering wheel. i wanted a new car all my life and after 35 years i was finally able to get one and i'm still in the same position as before. please help on what to-do considering i've yet to even receive anything about my car having any recall. and i've got 2 kids that i'm raising alone andi'm it says can cause accident why can't i get a replacement car till they get the parts to make my car safe. i'm very unhappy

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. while driving 65 mph, the vehicle began to hesitate without warning. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v293000 (power train). the contact stated that cummins chrysler (located at 4901 e main st, weatherford, ok 73096, (580) 772-5086) exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that the part was not available for the repair. the failure mileage was 76,208. parts distribution disconnect.*dt*dt consumer stated i just heard from the dealership about my car the part that was ordered came in mail and was already broke and the part that the previous dealership had put in was also broke as well. so i'm not sure if this part that is for the transmission is just that fragile that it cant even make it through the shipping process but i wanted to make aware that the part must have some kind of defect for it being the 3rd one and this last one was never even put on my car as it came in the mail already broke.*jb consumer stated there was transmission issues at least 16 times. *jb

It had rained and i was maneuvering my automatic transmission 2013 dodge dart out of a tight spot, when placing in reverse and breaking to change to forward, the engine shook and felt like it was going to stall out. i revved the engine to keep it from stalling. there is vibration that you can feel when sitting at a light, possibly a rough idle. u-connect is not working. when more than one thing is on, such as radio or ac, and you go to open window, you can feel a power drain. i am not sure if all these thing have to do with electrical, power-train or both.

While driving down the freeway i felt a weird popping. i exited the freeway and came to a stop. when i pushed on the gas to go again, the car wouldn't respond. the check engine light and check transmission light came on. it was in drive and wouldn't go, so i put in park and turned the car off. i then turned it back on it would go into gear and i could drive, but the transmission kept slipping. i took it to a dealer and they said it just needed a software update, which they did. less then 24 hours later it started happening again. i've only had this car for a month and now i'm starting to think this is why the previous owner traded it in.

My vehicle is completely unreliable. any time the speed reaches 40 mph or more it gives a transmission service message and shuts off. additionally if it is idle for any length of time (as in a drive-thru) it will shut off then as well. there has been a recall on this car but the parts are not even available. i have a piece of junk in my driveway that i am currently making payments on as well as full coverage insurance. very fed-up and disappointed that i have no leagle recourse!!! i am just expected to continue to pay for an undriveable car.

When getting into my car in the morning or after work (any time the car has been sitting for a while), the clutch pedal goes straight to the floor and doesn't come back up. i cannot put my car into gear or even start the car. i have to pump the clutch pedal for a few minutes until i have a little pressure to even start my car. my car stalled out twice from this when entering a parking garage and i almost hit another car because of this. after driving the car for 2-3 miles the clutch seems to come back to normal pressure and i can shift fine at that point.

When trying to start the car, the clutch pedal will get stuck down and not engage intermittently. the clutch pedal drops to the floor when depressed and not returning without pumping the pedal prior to starting the engine. this is becoming common after the car is not in operation overnight

2013 dodge dart bought new from dealer. june 17, 2015 while traveling through a parking lot a approximately 20mph axle broke pulling it from transmission. cv knuckle/joint, tie-rod all broke. wheel and tire turned at a 90 degree angle from car. left a divot in concrete where everything hit ground. visual estimate by dealer was $6,500. nothing was hit, no curb, no pot hole, speed bump, or any other object. police report states there was nothing in the area to hit. no other damage to vehicle, such as impact from other objects. service manager at dealership car was taken to said there was so much damage he couldn't tell what broke first. chrysler legal special investigations team inspected vehicle. 3 weeks later they sent me a report saying it was not a mechanical defect and my extended warranty would not repair. they insist i file with my insurance carrier. a vehicle that is 18 months old with only 39,000 miles should not fall apart like that if it doesn't strike anything. i've requested copy of report chrysler used to make their decision.

I depressed the clutch to start the engine and when it started the car began to move even though the clutch pedal was fully depressed. i had to turn the engine off to stop the car from moving and the clutch pedal remained on the floor. after a few more attempts it started to work correctly. it now does this every time it is parked for a few hours. very dangerous defect that needs to be recalled by chrysler.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. while reversing out of a parking lot at 5 mph, the clutch failed to shift out of reverse to go into first gear. the failure recurred once. the vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 24,000.

Intermittently, the clutch pedal had dropped to the floor when depressed and not returning without pumping the pedal prior to starting the engine. this was becoming common after the car was not in operation overnight but on 6-aug-15 the while driving at highway speeds prior to exiting a limited access highway with the pedal depressed to the floor the engine did not disengage from the transmission or allow the shifter to be move out of gear. it required the pedal to be pulled up manually with the toe of my shoe and pumped before it actuated the clutch and allowed the car to stop. an accident was narrowly avoided on interstate 495 due to this failure. chrysler was contacted regarding the service bulletin m37, transaxial slave valve defect and they said this is a listed issue for the car/engine but not for this vin. regardless of the bulletin's "commitment to safety" they would not cover any towing or repair.

2013 dart 2.0 liter, 6 speed manual trans. clutch pedal goes to floor with no resistance and will not disengage clutch. pulling the pedal up with foot and pumping it restores function until the car is parked at which time, the system bleeds down again and the pedal goes to the floor without disengaging the clutch. problem is markedly worse in hot weather. response from chrysler on rectification action is awaiting following inquiry by myself.

Right now i have issues with my evap system, transmission and engine. with the evap system i am not sure what is going on with it and i have replaced the gas cap as the system stated and i still have the issue. the engine issue now is that the car is very hesitant than from before. especially in first gear. i have to rev the engine to get going sometimes. i almost was involved in an accident. now the clutch goes to the floor with little resistance or sticks to the floor when i am on the road for a while or when it has been sitting for a while. i have had this car for a year and few months and it just gets worse. i really believe that this car is unsafe.

Engine light came on while driving noticed a failure in power when stepping on the gas felt no go with the turbo. stopped to have vehicle checked at advance auto diagnostic indicator stated turbo failure. vehicle had not reached 36000 miles.

I went to get in my car to go to work and when i started my car the clutch pedal went to the floor and would not come back up. the vehicle got stuck in first gear untill i manually bent down and pulled the clutch pedal up and turned the car off several times. when i sopke to dodge they acted like they had never heard of this issue (which i know is not true from various forums and complaints ive seen). now i am worried about the saftey of the car becasue if this happens while im on the road and not parked i or someone could get seriously injured. the dodge dealer i spoke with said to fix the issue i would have to replace the master cylinder, slave cylinder, and replace the clutch. i dont feel i should have to worry about this there should be a recall issued.

When first started on a cool or cold morning, the clutch on the 2013 dodge dart will not have any pressure and stick to the floor. the clutch peddle would have to be physically pulled up from the floor and pumped to develop any peddle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer that could not replicate the problem nor would make any indication to make the repair. the next week (around may 18, 2015), the manual transmission was parked in first gear and when the clutch was depressed, there was little to no peddle. the car started and began to lunge forward and stopped. the clutch almost stuck to the floor. . other times, the car is parked in neutral and the car will not allow the driver to shift into gear. there is fluid visible on top of the transmission which is suspected by the owner to be from the hydraulic clutch. chrysler is aware of this problem and are being sued in the state of california over other claims. this is a safety issue with these cars and the volume of complaints for the same issue is indicative of a larger problem.

When i'm driving the car sometimes i will press the gas but it will not go it rolls back...often when this happens i'm in traffic. i took the car back to the dealership numerous times and they say nothing is wrong. they even told me it was dealing with the hill assist but i explained to them when this happens i'm not on a hill. my children and i have almost had numerous wrecks. i recently received the recall letter about this issue (r42) but the letter states they do not have the parts to fix this issue at this time and this issue can cause wrecks but they will not do a manufacture buy back. also my heal/cool and gas gauge shakes the gauge will some fluctuate up and down, i told the dealership and they ignored me.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. while driving approximately 35 mph, the transmission shifted into neutral independently without warning. the rpms increased to 1,000 and the vehicle stalled and failed to restart. the contact disconnected the battery cable and, after waiting twenty minutes, the cable was reconnected and the vehicle restarted. the failure recurred numerous times. the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v542000 (power train); however, the part needed to perform the repair was unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 38,000. vin tool confirms parts not available.

We have a dodge dart, 2013 that has twice lost its transmission while traveling at highway speed and will not move, coast to a stop. one time on 95 just south of new haven conn. and yesterday on i75 near gainesville fla. i think this needs to be checked and see if someone is not covering this up. it creates a real fiasco when in the left lane in bumper to bumper traffic and suddenly lose all power. people will be dying if this continues to happen. the transmission quitting twice in 29000 miles is not just happenstance. this is a very dangerous situation. thanks for your time. *tr

Clutch pedal depressed and would not return to normal position. pressing down on clutch pedal would not disengage the clutch from the flywheel so continued to attempt to move forward requiring foot more strongly on the brakes. this wasn't the only time, and seems to occur after the vehicle has been sitting a few hours. its getting frequent enough that i'm going to try to trade the vehicle in. i don't trust chrysler/dodge products any more and their quality is going down hill with their drive by wire vehicles. for the record, 90% of my mileage is all highway and i don't "pop" the clutch to peal out at stop lights and the like. searches of the internet are finding more and more posts with clutch and transmission problems.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 dodge dart. while the vehicle was stationary, the air bag indicator illuminated. in addition, the air conditioner compressor switch fractured on the vehicle. it was diagnosed that the transmission control module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the failure mileage was 70,000.

The gear shift is shifted into drive, the transmission delays shifting into gear. when it does shift into gear the car accelerates without pressing the gas peddle. this is the ddc transmission. this is happened at least 3 times

While pulled over in a parking lot, i had the brake pedal depressed. as i moved my foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal the engine quite rapidly revved to the point that it buried the tachometer's needle. i immediately shut the engine down and the cabin was filled with the smell of burnt trans-axle fluid. when i re-started the engine, it was perfect again. the vehicle did not lunge forward, so the trans-axle appeared to ignore that it was in drive. i have called my dealership to report the incident and see if they knew anything about a rumored software update for the vehicle. *tr

I always let my car warm up, especially when it's cold. the weather started to get better and twice i stopped at a red light and the car almost stalled. i had to put the car in neutral and pump the gas to stop it from stalling completely. i know it's not the gas because it happened within two different time periods. at the time the temp was in the low 30's. i also notice when it's very cold the car makes a screech when it's started. although there is a power train recall (n32) my vin has not been addressed. i do not want to drive down the street and stall with my two-year-old in it. *tr

I was driving at about 40 mph and abruptly the engine stalled and the clutch went to the floor and the vehicle refused to changed gears or move. i allowed it to veer to the side to escape being rear ended or crashed from behind. i had no control of this car. *tr
