Description of the problem | 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. |
