2013 Dodge Dart Complaint Log

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

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.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN IT SLIP INTO NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF NEUTRAL LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD. I LOOKED UP ONLINE TO FIND OUT ANY INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET IT OUT OF NEUTRAL AND FIND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER VEHICLES AND FOUND RECALL NUMBER R42. I CONTACTED 1-800-853-1403 ON 2/1/17 AND GAVE THEM THE INFORMATION AND THEY PROVIDE A TOW TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. ON 2/2/17 I RECEIVE CALL FROM SOMEONE IN SERVICE AND TOLD ME THAT HE LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER AND IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL, BUT ONLY FOR THE BRAKES THAT WAS UNDER RECALL. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT EVEN THOUGH MY VIN IS NOT PULLING UP AS ONE OF THE EFFECTED CARS, THEY SHOULD STILL FIX MY CAR DUE TO ME HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. ON 2/2/17, [XXX] IN SERVICE SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT FOR 1.4 ENGINES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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.

MY 2013 DODGE DART HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH ISSUES FOR A YEAR. MY TIRES HAVE BEEN POPPING LEFT AND RIGHT BRAND NEW AND USED TIRES JUST POPPING WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. THE CAR NOW HAS A BCM PROBLEM AS WELL AS A SMALL GAS LEAK. I HAVE WENT THROUGH MULTIPLE DEALERSHIP THAT LOOKED OVER THE CAR AND CAN'T DETERMINE WHERE THE GAS LEAK IS COMING FROM IN WHICH MY CHECK ENGINE IS STILL ONE WHICH LEAVE ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE INSPECTED OR REGISTERED AGAIN. THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME AND MY FAMILY SO MUCH MONEY AND ISSUES. IT HARDLY WANTS TO DRIVE, MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION FOR SOME REASON AND I CAN'T TURN THE CAR OFF. THE DODGE AND RECALL PLACE TOLD ME THEY CAN NOT HELP ME BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT RECALLED BUT I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS EVERY OTHER 2013 DODGE DART.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION, CAUSED BY A SENSOR FAILURE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HAVE DIMINISHED CONTROL. DEALER WANTS $1700 TO REPLACE THE STEERING BOX IN THE HOPE THAT IT "MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM", THE DEALER IS RESISTANT TO CHECKING ALL RELEVANT SENSORS RELATED TO THE ELECTRIC STEERING SYSTEM. INSTEAD THE DEALER WANTS TO REPLACE THE PARTS ONE AT A TIME UNTIL THE VEHICLE WORKS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNUSABLE FOR TWO WEEKS NOW.

STOPPED ON HWY ROAD SIDE TO READ AND SEND A TEXT MESSAGE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PLACE CAR IN PARK. MY 2013 DODGE DART LOCKED IN NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF NEUTRAL. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF IGNITION DUE TO THE CAR BEING IN NEUTRAL LEAVING MY DASHLIGHTS ON ALL NIGHT AFTER TOWING TO DEALERSHIP.. I NOTICE THERE IS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN DODGE DARTS FOR 2013 FOR THIS VERY ISSUE, I NOTICE MY VIN # DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE VERY SAME ISSUE APPEARS TO HAPPEN TO MY MODEL. I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE WAITING FOR HELP TO ARRIVED, I HOPE THIS WARNS OTHER OF THE ISSUE. *TR

I WAS COMING HOME FROM CHURCH WHEN MY CAR STOP AND SHUT OFF ALL SO I WENT TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T. I NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY HOOD SO I POPPED THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. WHEN I WENT TO OPEN THE HOOD I NOTICE FIRE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY HOOD SO I RAN TO THE CORNER AND CALLED THE POLICE WHICH ACTUALLY TRANSFER ME TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND PUT OUT AND THE POLICE OFFICER TOOK A POLICE REPORT. REPORT NUMBER IS JA125391 AND I ONLY HAD 37,000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE" AND "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE MESSAGE BOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED TWO WEEKS EARLIER PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE REVERSE LOCKOUT HAS FAILED TWICE IN MY 2013 DODGE DART. WHEN IT FAILS, INSTEAD OF PUTTING THE CAR IN FIRST GEAR THE CAR GOES INTO REVERSE. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. BOTH TIMES I ALMOST RAMMED INTO THE CAR BEHIND ME.

I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEYES WAY AND PLACED THE CAR ON PARK. TO MY SURPRISE, THE CAR KEPT MOVING AND STAYED ON DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO REMOVE THE KEY, SO IN ORDER TO SAVE THE BATTERY, I HAD TO UNPLUG IT. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRY TO CHANGE THE GEAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK, IT STAYS ON DRIVE.

IT WAS RAIN AND TURNED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON. WHEN I GOT HOME I WENT TO TURN THE WIPERS OFF THEY WOULD NOT STOP I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE WANT $800.00 TO REPLACE THE PART CAN BE FOUND ONLINE FOR WAY CHEAPER. THIS IS AN INSANE COST FOR A CAR WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL DONE ON THIS PROBLEM. DODGE HAD MADE A LEMON OF CAR. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH IT.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE SWITCH TO NEUTRAL DRIVE IN REVERSE" MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE AND "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BUD CLARY AUBURN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2925 AUBURN WAY N, AUBURN, WA 98002) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION MODULE AND GEAR SHIFT MODULE WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED THE NEXT DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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

COULD NOT RENEW MY 2017 CALIFORNIA REGISTRATION. NEEDED A RECALL R42 DONE, PER DMV RECORDS. HAD THIS RECALL DONE ON JAN 5TH 2017 BY JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE OF ONTARIO CALIF. THEIR INVOICE NUMBER 491747 THE CAR RAN GOOD FOR A DAY. ON JAN 8TH HAD PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR SHIFTED BY ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL. NO FORWARD NO REVERSE. VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. ESPECIALLY WITH MY WIFE AND 7 MONTH OLD BABY IN THIS VEHICLE. HAD CAR RETURNED TO DEALER SHIP ON 1-9 2017 I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THIS RECALL R42 WAS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM OF VEHICLE SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY FAMILY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V800000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF ALBANY, GA (701 E OGLETHORPE BLVD, ALBANY, GA 31705, TELEPHONE: (229)518-3095) TO BE REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART TO REMEDY THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALER WOULD CALL BACK WHEN THE REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE, THE CAR EXPERIENCES FAILURE IN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO OTHER GEARS. THE GEAR LEVER WILL PHYSICALLY MOVE TO OTHER GEAR POSITIONS, HOWEVER THE CAR WILL NOT SWITCH FROM PARK TO OTHER GEARS. WE HAVE HAD TO MANUALLY PUSH THE CAR FORWARD TO GET IT TO SWITCH OUT OF PARK. IT SEEMS TO BE SOME KIND OF FAILURE BETWEEN THE SENSORS SENDING INFORMATION TO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WHICH IS NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO CALCULATE GEAR SHIFTING CORRECTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS.

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE CLUTCH "STICKING" FOR MONTHS. NUMEROUS TIMES I WOULD PUSH IN CLUTCH AND THE GEARSHIFT WOULDN'T "CATCH" OR GO INTO GEAR. NOW GEAR SHIFTER IS BROKE. WON'T GO INTO REVERSE AT ALL. STILL SHIFTS IN FORWARD DRIVING GEARS. *TR

WHILE MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING HER 2013 DODGE DART WITH ONLY 17,000 MILES ON IT THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND THE SHIFTER SELECTOR WAS IN DRIVE...BUT THE DASH SHOWED "N" FOR NEUTRAL AND THE CAR WOULD ONLY REV AND GO NOWHERE. THE SHIFT HANDLE COULD BE MOVED TO ANY POSITION BUT THE TRANS STAYED IN NEUTRAL. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. I LET THEM KNOW THAT I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL R42 FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. DEALER SAID OUR CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. WE DID BRING THE CAR TO THEM 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS BECAUSE WE REPORTED THE TRANSMISSION WAS HESITATING ON ACCELERATION...AT THAT TIME THE CAR ONLY HAD 12,500 MILES ON IT...THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM, IF SHE HAD BEEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT. AGAIN THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION, LUCKILY IN THE MALL PARKING LOT AND NOT ON A MAJOR INTERSECTION...VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

SERVICE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT KEEPS RANDOMLY (STARTING, MOTION, STATIONARY, ANY TIME) COMING ON, TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER HOURS OF DIAGNOSTIC TESTING THEY CAME UP WITH THAT I NEED A NEW SEAT AIR BAG. I KNOW MANY OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR AIR BAG MALFUNCTIONS AND UPON DOING RESEARCH, DISCOVERED OTHER 2013 DART OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR OR WORSE ISSUES WITH THEIR AIR BAG SYSTEMS. I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT 421 2013 DODGE DART MOPAR 13 SPECIAL-EDITION MODELS WERE RECALLED DUE TO POTENTIAL AIR BAG PROBLEMS, BUT IT WAS STATED ONLY THE SPECIAL EDITION MODELS WERE AFFECTED. DID THESE 2013 MODELS REALLY HAVE DIFFERENT AIR BAG SYSTEMS THAN THE REST OF THE 2013 DARTS?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL INDEPENDENTLY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V800000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (KUNIS DODGE IN MONMOUTH, ILLINOIS) AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

YESTERDAY WE WERE PARKING OUR VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THE SHIFTER GOT STUCK IN NEUTRAL. WE WERE UNABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK AND WERE UNABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. TODAY THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THE CABLE CONNECTING THE SHIFTER TO THE TRANSMISSION HAD COME LOOSE AND THAT FROM A MANUFACTURING STANDPOINT THE CABLE WAS "TOO SHORT" AND LIKELY TO COME LOOSE AGAIN. THEY REATTACHED THE CABLE BUT RECOMMENDED THAT THE CABLE TO REPLACED WITH A LONGER CABLE THAT WOULD BE LESS LIKELY TO COME LOOSE. THE COST TO REPLACE THE CABLE AND HAVE IT REINSTALLED WAS GOING TO BE JUST UNDER $800. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT WE CONTACT DODGE BECAUSE THE CAR IS UNDER 4 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 26,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ISSUE IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE BUT A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. DODGE DENIED OUR REQUEST TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY AND TO PAY TO HAVE THE CABLE REPLACED. WE EXPRESSED OUR CONCERN THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE (BECAUSE IT COULD'VE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING) AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT DOT AND TO RECOMMEND THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE PART. SO THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

MY WIFE DIANA PURCHASED THIS CAR ON JUNE 19 2017, FROM A DEALERSHIP HYUNDAI OF GARDEN GROVE CA. A MONTH AFTERWARD WE TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE, SINCE THIS DODGE DART IS A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THE CLUTCH NEEDS TO BE PRESSED TO START THE ENGINE. WHEN I DID THAT, THE CLUTCH WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE. WE TOOK IT TO GLEEN E THOMAS DODGE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA. THEY KEEP THE CAR FOR A FULL 7 DAYS AND COULDN'T FIXED IT. AFTER THAT THE PROBLEM OF THE STICKING CLUTCH REMAINS UNTIL NOW, GETTING WORSE AS THE TIME GOES BY. EVERY WEEK THE ISSUE COMES UP. WE TOOK THE CAR AGAIN TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, THIS TIME WAS CERRITOS DODGE AND THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR ANOTHER WEEK. CLUTCH HASN'T BEEN FIXED. THE STICKING CLUTCH HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY WEEK IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS, WE HAVE TO PULL IT BACK WITH OUR HANDS OR FEET, THEN WE PUMP THE CLUTCH UNTIL IT WORKS AGAIN.
