2013 Dodge Dart Brakes Problems

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V674000 (Power Train); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the braking distance was extended. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V800000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, the brake failure persisted. Additionally, while driving at various speeds, the RPM became elevated; however, the transmission failed shift above 2nd gear. While attempting to park, the transmission remained in neutral and failed to shift to park. The vehicle was parked, and the wheels were chocked to keep the vehicle from rolling away. The vehicle was towed to a certified mechanic, where the contact was informed that the shifter cable had detached from the transmission. The contact was informed that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V674000 (Power Train). The dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available for the recall repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that if the recall had not caused the failure, there would be no assistance with any additional repairs. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

Driving down a country road as I was about to turn into my driveway the dash stated " Check Electric Brake System" as I tried to apply the brake. I was safely able to guide the vehicle into the driveway without injury or damage to the vehicle. No dealer, independent service center, manufacturer, or others have inspected the vehicle. Inspection of the vehicle can be done and when started the same message as stated is displayed. At the time as I pressed on the brake it pushed back against me being unable to engage them, this was accompanied by the brake light warning on the dash which was then followed by, " Check Electric Brake System".

I recently purchased a 2013 dodge dart sxt and not even 6 months later while driving this vehicle I noticed there was a loss of pressure with my clutch pedal when shifting gears. It initially seemed to return to normal and work fine at times but very quickly declined. At first I'd have some pressure in the clutch but that quickly went to having none whatsoever and the clutch not coming up from the floor. This happened while I was driving and just to get my vehicle home I had to get up to around 2500 rpm to shift. The clutch stays engaged so to stop the vehicle at a light for example you have to quickly shift to neutral or shut the car off. To begin driving again it has to be in gear but it moves right away so you are not able to have vehicle in gear while at idle. It's very dangerous and while looking into what the potential causes might be I noticed that this is a very common problem with these make and model cars especially between the years 2013-2015. I saw one article stating there recently was a recall for these exact issues with these vehicles but when attempting to look up my Vin it doesn't show anything?

While pressing down on the brake , it became very hard to fully pushed down . Makes a noise that sounds like air is being pushed through while the brake is being pressed down . Delayed stops due to it being so hard to press the brake down . Brake light comes on along with “Service Electric Braking System” on dashboard .

06/08/2021. My daughter stopped to gas up at Costco when a notice came up on the dash "Engage Parking Brake to prevent Rollback". She immediately called me to make me aware of it. Once home she again get this message. 06/09/2021. My daughter drove to school with no issues. However, leaving school she was going slowly over a speed bump when the car automatically shifted into PARK. She lost acceleration and the car rolled backwards off of the speed bump while she was wrestling with controlling the steering. The car shuts off and she was unable to start it again. She immediately called me and told me the message displayed again from yesterday "Engage Parking Brake to prevent Rollback". Now the car won't start. I am now on my way to the school when she calls me back to say it started and she is on her way home. I told her to be very careful. 06/10/2021. I drove the car while my daughter followed me to the dealership. On the way to the dealership at every stop the message displayed "Engage Parking Brake to prevent Rollback". While at the dealership I explained the problem and I had brought all repair documents that stated the same issue occurred in a repair with my son (twice), with me, and now with my daughter. It all stem from gear shift cable/bushings/TCM/transmission, which then was covered under warranty or recall. I emphatically didn't want to waste time with a diagnostic when I am sure its related to past repairs. The service tech was trying to convince me it could be something else and the diagnostics will tell them the true cause. I was reluctant but agreed for the diagnostic. I did state that what that diagnostic will show is that the transmission/recall is faulty. 06/11/21. The service tech called me to say the car coded P07B4 [Park Positioning Sensor]. However he never called it a Transmission Park Positioning Sensor because in my opinion this part should be covered under the transmission warranty (see Manual - Parts Covered - Transmission:).

PARKING BRAKE ON MY 2013 DODGE DART 1.4L TURBO LIMITED DOES NOT HOLD MY VEHICLE IN PLACE. I HAVE ADJUSTED THE CABLE SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE REPLACED BOTH REAR CALIPERS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM GETS STUCK IN THE LOADED/PARKED POSITION AND WILL NOT RETURN TO IT RESTING POSITION. I HAVE HAD TO APPLY LUBRICANT TO IT AND MANIPULATE BACK AND FORTH TO FREE IT, AFTER DOING THIS I HAD TO ADJUST THE CABLE UNDER THE CONSOLE. MY CAR IS A MANUAL 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD NICE TO HAVE A PARKING BRAKE THAT WOULD NOT HAVE TO ADJUST CONSTANTLY.

WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSH IT WAS HARD AS A ROCK AND NO BRAKES, HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP ,ALMOST GETTING HIT IN A INTERSECTION. FOUND THAT THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP HAD SEIZED AND CHECK VALVE TO BOOSTER HAD FAILED INTRODUCING ENGINE OIL INTO BRAKE BOOSTER. DEALERSHIPS HAVE CLAIMED IT WAS NO PROBLEM WHEN RECALL WAS ISSUED AND ANOTHER SAID RECALL HAS EXPIRED. I THOUGHT THEY HAVE UP TO 8 TO 10 YEARS TO FIX SAFETY RECALLS.

FEDERAL RECALL IN 2013 DODGE DART ON BRAKE BOOSTER, SERVICED IN 2016 FOR RECALL ONE PART REPLACED FOR RECALL, THE HOSE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FIND CONTAMINATION THEN! NOW MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ,SITTING AT CRYSLER DEALERSHIP NOW 2020 DUE TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER MANUFACTURING ISSUE, AS A SAFETY RECALL ,I THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COST TO FIX FEDERAL RECALL IN MY VEHICLE!!! IF ALL PARTS OF RECALL WERE REPLACED BACK WHEN RECALL WAS ISSUED I WOULD NOT BE RUNNING INTO SAFETY ISSUES RELATING TO MY PROBLEMS NOW! MY BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR ,AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE WITH MY FAMILY! SAFETY RECALL R63 BRAKE BOOSTER

THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER / PARKING BRAKE IS CORRODING TO THE POINT OF INOPERABILITY. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD CHRYSLER REPLACE THE REAR CALIPER THAT WAS AFFECTED THE FIRST TIME, BUT IT IS NOW AGAIN STICKING DUE TO CORROSION AND RUST. THERE IS NO PROTECTION TO PREVENT SALT AND ROAD DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE BORE OF THE SHAFT THAT ENGAGES THE PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM IN THE CALIPER. THE CAR'S PARKING BRAKE LEVER WILL ENGAGE BUT THE PARKING BRAKE WILL ACTIVATE. THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL BACK (MANUAL TRANSMISSION). OTHER TIMES, THE PARKING BRAKE WILL BE ACTIVATED BY THE LEVER, ENGAGE AND WILL STICK ON, AND CAUSE THE REAR BRAKES TO OVERHEAT WHEN I DRIVE AWAY.

ON 3 OCCASIONS. MY CLUTCH BROKE. I HAD IT REPAIRED 2 TIMES AND CURRENTLY IT WENT OUT AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING DURING THE TIME AND LOST POWER TO MY CAR. I ALSO HAD REPLACED WITH THE DEALER MY BRAKE BOOSTER THAT WENT OUT 3 TIMES.FRUSTRATED. *TR

THE REAR BRAKES ARE LOCKED UP AND WONT RELEASE. THE FIRST TIME THE CALIPERS HAD TO BE CHANGED OUT. THIS HAPPENED WITH IN THE FIRST 3 YEARS. THIS MOST RECENT TIME THEY LOCKED UP AGAIN I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN IT IN TO THE SHOP YET BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN 3 YEARS OR SO SINCE THEY WERE LAST CHANGED. THE CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 40 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS COULD CAUSE THE BRAKES TO CATCH ON FIRE OR EVEN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

E-BRAKE STUCK. I CAN RELEASE MY PARKING BRAKE, REAR CALIPERS ARE STUCK. *TR
