“In October 2025, FCA issued Recall A0C for the shift cable on my daughter’s 2014 Dodge Dart. Beginning shortly after the recall was announced, we contacted multiple Dodge dealerships on several occasions to have the recall repair performed. Every dealership gave us the same response: the replacement part was unavailable, and we would be contacted when it arrived. We were never contacted, and the part remains unavailable. Before the recall could be completed, the recalled shift cable failed exactly as described in the recall. The vehicle became stuck in reverse and could not be shifted properly, leaving my daughter stranded. Because the vehicle could not be fully turned off, it remained in the ACC position, which discharged the battery and required replacement. When we contacted the dealership after the failure, they again stated the recall part was unavailable. I explained that leaving the vehicle unrepaired was unacceptable because it was unsafe and inoperable. The service advisor then told us we could pay out of pocket for a shift cable that the dealership could order and install, along with replacing the battery, and then submit a reimbursement request…”
