WHILE GAINING ACCELERATION ONTO THE FREEWAY, I WAS FORCED TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP. I HAD PLENTY OF ROOM TO STOP SAFELY AND WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP IN TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WERE NOT BRAKE MARKS ON THE ROAD AND IT FELT AS IF MY VEHICLE HIT THE ONE IN FRONT OF ME AT FULL SPEED. I BELIEVE THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED ME AND THE ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE BRAKES HAD DONE WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. OKLAHOMA CITY, OK INTERSTATE 40 AND MCARTHUR.

DURING THIS TIME WE ALSO LEARNED THAT NONE OF THE AIR-BAGS HE HAD IN THE CAR DEPLOYED... THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH 12-14 AIR BAGS... IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS, CAN YOU PLEASE HELP...UPDATED 11/18/14 *BF UPDATED 8/12/2015*JS

The gear selected is saying that the car is park but it will not shut off . Had to move the shifter back and forward serval times before it stayed in park had this problem awhile don't think it was ever recalled. Thanks for your support in this matter

SO WE WERE DRIVING THE ROADS WERE WET AND IT WAS SNOWING AS WE SWITCHED LANES WE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY SPUN ABOUT 10 TIMES AND HIT A CEMENT BARRIER AT ABOUT 40 MILES HIT THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL .

I NEED TO GET MY SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING REPLACED AND MY THERMOSTAT HOUSING IS MESSING UP CONSTANTLY

IT STARTED BACK IN APRIL. MY CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE. IT STARTED FLASHING THE R ON THE DASH THEN NEXT TO THE GEAR SHIFT. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP. IT THEN STARTED NOT GOING INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. NOT ONLY WOULD THE LIGHTS FLASH AT ME BUT IT WOULD SAY PLACE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL THEN DRIVE OR REVERSE. IT ENDED UP TOWED ONCE BECAUSE T WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT POPPED UP. IT SAID ALL MY GEARS WERE NOT FOUND. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP 7 TIMES FOR THIS SAME REASON. IT WON'T REVERSE AND/OR WON'T GO INTO DRIVE. THE GEAR SHIFT ALSO POPPED INTO PARK GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. MOST RECENTLY I HAD A COLLISION WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE IN REVERSE AND ENDED UP GOING FORWARD AND HITTING A PARKED VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS STILL NOT FIXED AND I OWE MONEY ON IT. MY BRAKES HAVEN'T BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY AND I KNOW THEY ARE STILL GOOD BECAUSE MY MECHANIC DAD AND BOYFRIEND HAVE CHECKED THEM. THE CRUISE WILL GO OFF RANDOMLY AND THE TOUCH SCREEN GOES WHITE, BLACK AND BACK ON. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL WITH NO REMEDY. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE CAUSE. ALSO, I AM HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING THE IGNITION TO RELEASE MY KEY. DODGE HIRED AN INVESTIGATOR. IT TOOK MY CAR BEING HIT BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION. I FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING A DEATH TRAP THAT I CAN'T GET OUT OF AND USUALLY HAVE ONE TO 3 KIDS IN MY CAR. I'D RATHER NOT HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF (XXX).

BRAKES FAILD

CAR WOULDN'T START HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTING HARNESS WITHIN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS OF OWNING THE CAR HAD TO REPLACE TWO BATTERIES EVEN AFTER THE HARNESS WAS REPLACED BUT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE. HAD TO REPLACE THE TURBO HOSE ASSEMBLY FROM PULLING IN OIL AND CRACKED SINCE THE OIL WAS HOT. NOW IM HAVING TO PUT IN A QUART OF OIL IN IT EVERY MONTH AND I CHANGE MY OIL EVERY TWO AND HALF MONTHS (5,000 MILES) SO MY ENGINE IS BURNING THE OIL OFF TO QUICKLY (OIL CONSUMPTION). ALSO DROVE HIT A VERY SMALL POTHOLE AND HAD MY DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM SNAP VERY VERY CLEANLY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTIES.

INTERIOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS FROM DAY 1. RANDOM ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SHUT OFF AND RESTART ALL THE TIME. ALSO BRAKES BECAME HARDER AND HARDER TO USE, UNTIL THEY STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER IN TRAFFIC, BUT STARTED WORKING AGAIN AFTER COLLISION

AT LOW SPEED ~15 MPH , IN MY SUBDIVISION DURING A SNOWY EVENING I HIT AND OBJECT. NO TIRE DAMAGE, HOWEVER THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE. AFTER COLLECTING THE BROKEN PART AND PRESENTING TO A MATERIAL EXPERT, THE ALUMINUM CASTING SHOWED TWO CASTING DEFECT AT THE BREAKAGE POINT. RAISING CONCERN OF SAFETY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SIDE STREET ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR I HEARD A NOISE AND I SUDDENLY COULD NOT STEER, I WAS FORCED TO HIT A CURB AND THE WHEEL CAVED IN AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. MY INSURANCE WILL NOT PAY FOR THE CONTROL ARM THAT BROKE STATING CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT, CHRYSLER WILL NOT PAY FOR THE PART EITHER. THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT AND I NEED HELP THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AS I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY SIDE STREET.

JULY 14TH, 2014 I BOUGHT A DODGE DART VIN [XXX]. THE CAR WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED. DID NOT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. WHILE DRIVING ON MAY 8TH, 2015. ON I-75 GOING ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR WITH THICK FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I HEARD AND FELT SOMETHING CRACK ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF MY CAR, UNDER MY FEET. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY PULLED LEFT AND HIT A CONCRETE BARRIER WALL. THE CAR THEN BOUNCED OFF A TOYOTA PRIUS. I LANDED IN THE DITCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY MILE MARKER 299 IN PASCO COUNTY FLORIDA. MY FIRST COMPLAINT IS WHATEVER BROKE TO CAUSE THE ACCIDENT. WHICH I CANNOT BE SPECIFIC ABOUT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE AXEL OR WHAT YET. TAKING NOTE THAT NO ONE WAS HURT. MY SECOND COMPLAINT IS THAT NOT ONE OF MY 6 "ADVANCED"SAFETY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN MY CAB AFTER HITTING TWO OBJECTS AT THAT SPEED. AS TO WHY I DO NOT KNOW WHAT BROKE YET. I CALLED FOR DODGES ROADSIDE SERVICE, I WAS PICKED UP AND RODE WITH MY CAR TO THE NEAREST DODGE DEALERSHIP. JIM BROWNE CITRUS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, IN DADE CITY.
