The \"Re-Park\" Movement: Simply shifting gears is often not enough. Restart the engine, physically reverse the vehicle a short distance, then drive forward back into your space before shifting into park. The physical movement of the car is often required to reset the transmission sensor.  \u200bII. The Twist: When you first park, try a quick, sharp twist to the \"OFF\" position immediately. Catching the system quickly sometimes prevents it from locking the fob.  \u200bIII. The Inward Firm Method: If already stuck, push the fob firmly inward toward the steering column (as if you are inserting your fob) while simultaneously twisting hard to the left. Repeat a few times before doing the re-park method to see if this will work for you first. Run/Acc>Off (be firm but if it doesn't work you're not trying to force/break it).   \u200b<>Emergency Security<>  \u200bIf the tricks above do not work and you must leave your vehicle, you can still lock it and get back in. Make sure you apply your handbrake first just incase.  - \u200bPhysical Key Extraction:  Locate the small release slide on the back of your key fob. You can slide the metal emergency key out even while the fob is stuck in the ignition.  \u200b- Manual Locking: Use the door button, physical door locks or this metal key/a backup spare to manually lock the door/driver\u2019s door from the in/outside.   This prevents vehicle theft while the fob remains trapped.  !!! Safety Conclusion!!!   \u200bThis issue highlights the volatile nature of the Dodge Dart's electrical system. While these workarounds are effective, the underlying sensor or shifter cable failure poses a recurring safety risk to owners.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2015","productMake":"DODGE","productModel":"DART","manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)"}]}]}
