What owners report
The following recall has been open for over a year with no fix. We have had so many issues with this car that we had to park it permanently until the recall could be completed. Safety Defect/Non Compliance Description and Safety Risk Some 2013-2016MY Dodge Dart vehicles may experience a transmission shift cable failure. A failure of the shift cable to maintain connection to the transmission can cause an unexpected and unrecoverable Loss of PARK (LoP) function and/or a vehicle movement in an unintended direction. A LoP function and/or vehicle movement in an unintended direction can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning and/or injury to others outside the vehicle. Repair Description
The open recall is for the SHIFT CABLE and on [XXX] the cable broke when I pulled into my garage, and did not allow me to get the vehicle into PARK. I used the Emergency Brake to keep the vehicle from rolling, but since it could not go into PARK, I could not turn the vehicle all the way off, either. I had to unhook the battery to get it to turn off. The recall has been open for almost one year, since October 16, 2025 and they still say there is "No remedy available" for it. That is ridiculous. Do they expect people to just not be able to drive their vehicle?!? Timeline - Monday, [XXX] - Shifter Cable Broke; Called Recall line (Stellantis) at 1-800-853-1403 to confirm recall and they to
"URGENT COMPLIANCE ESCALATION FOR NHTSA ID: 11766087. My VIN lookup on Oct 09, 2026, explicitly shows Campaign 25V-674 is 'Incomplete, remedy not yet available.' However, a Chrysler corporate supervisor falsely informed me that my repair was frozen and sent to their 'legal department' because I filed a state consumer complaint. Chrysler is actively misleading consumers and weaponizing internal 'legal reviews' to mask their failure to provide a federally mandated safety recall remedy for a severe rollaway hazard on a vehicle that belonged to my late son who passed away in 2023. I demand federal enforcement step in."
After drive for short distance the car through a error code for transmission and put the car into neutral then will not crank over for short time till it cooled down dealer saying it the tcm/valve body issue car has previously had repair down for recall involving the tcm but the car still has issues and fiat Chrysler won't fix the issue
Vehicle is completely immobilized due to an unaddressed manufacturer safety recall (Recall A0C / Shift Cable Bushing). The manufacturer (FCA US LLC / Stellantis) states that official recall remedy parts remain unreleased and unavailable. The manufacturer refuses to provide direct corporate-billed interim transportation or corporate towing to an authorized dealership, insisting on out-of-pocket payment and reimbursement schemes. When challenged on zero-cost recall remedy mandates under 49 U.S.C. § 30120, corporate management executed a forced call termination.
