My Dodge Dart with 2.4L engine was recalled for excessive oil consumption. On 09/09/2021 the vehicle was brought in for service and I was told the PCM was to be reprogrammed and that would fix the excessive oil consumption issue. I am now 3,000 miles after the PCM repair and I am still burning a quart of oil. I called the dealer, O'Daniel Automotive Group in Fort Wayne Indiana, on 01/28/2022 to speak with a service rep and was told they weren't available and I would get a return call. Today is 02/05/2022 and no one has returned the call.
I had to replace my engine, my transmission is slipping and not shifting gears properly. It has been doing it for almost 2 years now. The suspensions are horrible
My number 3 cylinder is the only problem. This had been the the third time I've had this problem in the last three years.
When the oil life in this vehicle gets low the vehicle randomly stalls. This week my vehicle stalled in the middle of an intersection putting me at risk of bodily harm. I had to have my car towed to the dealership because it would not start. After speaking with the service person at the dealership they said that this is a "safety feature" to protect the engine. This is not the first time this has happened, but it is the first time my vehicle wouldn't start at all.
I have had so many problems with this vehicle. I have had to replace two coils, had the air conditioner fixed, had to replace my rear shocks, which caused me to have to buy two new rear tires, the windshield wiper motor was replaced, my car was burning oil until I got a recall for that. Now my blower fan for the heater is not working, I only have 66000, miles on this car. All these issues could really cause dangerous problems. When my 1st coil went out I couldn't get my car restarted in the middle of town. When the 2nd coil went out my car would barely move and this happened before I got the recall for the engine oil problem. Now I will have to repair the blower fan because the defroster and heat aren't working.
Car wrecked totaling car rollover crash no deployed airbags with wreck
System: Electrical system failed and car completely lost power (for at least the fourth time), this time while driving. Yes, this car is available for inspection with some advance warning. Safety: If I had been driving in a less safe area at a higher speed and the car just shut off like it did today, but in the middle of the highway, I would have been in danger of getting hit by other drivers. Reproduced: The problem is intermittent. The problem has happened at least four times PLUS the numerous times it doesn't start the first time but will the second time I turn the key. Inspected: The car has not yet been inspected, except for being with the dealer for an entire day in July for recall work, cracked oil valve gasket, and various service work. Messages: After turing a corner (traveling about 25 mph on a military installation), dashboard indicators flashed on and off several times. After pulling over as much as possible (with no shoulders) and coming to a stop the car completely lost power. It would not restart, the hazard lights did not work, and I could not remove the key from the ignition. After about 10 minutes the electrical systems began coming back on, starting with the hazard lights. After a couple more minutes I was able to start the car and proceed on to work. I had recall work done in July to address a PCM software issue regarding oil pressure and mechanical stalls. This battery is less than a year old and the technician said the alternator and old battery were both good. Two other times recently the car simply would not start - no indicator lights, no cranking, no sound, nothing. Also, two years ago when trying to start the car, all indicator needles moved rapidly between high and low and would not stop even after removing the key. Eventually they stopped but the battery was ruined. I'll probably trade the car in so it can kill someone else.
Car's engine stops while driving. Has to be restarted. Engine use extra oil between oil changes.
The contact called on behalf of his daughter who owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that his daughter experienced a failure with oil consumption. The contact stated that his daughter stated while driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that oil was spilling onto the engine. There was no leaks present. The contact was informed that the ECM needed to be reprogramed. The ECM was reprogrammed however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle and shifting into gear, the vehicle would not move with the check engine warning light illuminated. Additionally, “service transmission" and "gear not available" messages were displayed. The cause of the failure was determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 97,000.
When I first got this car three years ago I had a shift problem in the transmission it got stuck in the gear and I couldn't pull the key out when I did some research I realize that there was a recall so of course I went to the dealership and have them take a look at it to fix it they said that I will still be charge in the problem wasn't even originally fixed they rigged it they just made it to where I could pull off but I was still charged and now a couple years later I am having transmission problems again and the dealership is saying that I need a transmission as I am doing a research I realize that my transmission again has a recall on it.
From control arms are welded down and some sort of screw goes through transmission. Mechanics are unable to remove and replace the front control arms because of that. If I cannot get the front control arms replaced, I cannot get an wheel alignment.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that while moving off from a traffic light, the vehicle shifted out of first gear into neutral independently. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving to his destination. The contact stated that he experienced the failure on several occasions. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that the pressure plate needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V542000 (Power Train) however, the Vin was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while driving 25 mph, there was an abnormal popping sound coming from the brake pedal. The brake pedal stiffened and was difficult to be depressed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed that the brake booster was faulty and there was brake fluid leaking from the brake booster. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.
Attempted to stop at a stop sign and the brake pedal sank with a hissing noise and then became very hard to operate. I had to maneuver to avoid colliding with the vehicle in front of me by diverting into the other side of the road where a turneing vehicle had to stop to avoid colliding with me. I was able to reverse into a nearby parking spot and apply the parking brake to stop the vehicle. Mechanic has suggested that the brake vacuum check valve, brake master cylinder, or brake booster has failed but cannot pinpoint which component specifically.
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while driving at 70 MPH, the radio engaged on its own and the vehicle lost power steering. Several warning lights such as the brake system light, the battery light, the airbag light, and the engine light were illuminated. The steering wheel became difficult to maneuver but the contact was still able to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with the battery and alternator needing to be replaced, and was repaired. The failure reoccurred today while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the vehicle as the OBD reader failed to work. The vehicle was also taken to an unknown dealer who was unable to diagnose the vehicle for the same reason. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR A SAFETY RECALL WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE MONTHS BEFORE THEY WOULD HAVE THE PART AND THEY HAD NO LOANERS FOR ME THEY SAID ITS AGAISNT POLICY TO LOAN A VEHICLE AND NOW THEY HAVE ME DRIVING IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO ME THIS JUST FEELS LIKE A WAY PUSH NEW VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE IS A SAFETY CONCERN I CANT JUST AFFORD GET ANOTHER VEHICLE OR RENT ONE AND HOPE FOR REIMBURSMENT
MY 2015 DART GT WAS AT A GAS STATION TO FILL THE GAS TANK UP. ALL WAS WELL UNTIL I WENT TO START THE CAR AND PULL AWAY, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL COULDN'T DEPRESS AT ALL AND THE CAR HAD NO BRAKING AT ALL. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE LEVER TO STOP THE CAR AND IT DID. THE INHUD DISPLAY SAID "SERVICE ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM" AND THE "BRAKE" LIGHT WAS ON AT ALL TIMES, REGARDLESS IF MY EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE LEVER WAS PULLED OR NOT. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. I DID SO ONLY TO FIND IT WAS MURKY, A REDISH ORANGE COLOR. I CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. I ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND INQUIRED ABOUT CURRENT RECALLS ON MY CAR AND THERE WERE NONE PERTAINING TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM, BUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2013-2014 MODELS (RECALL CAMPAIGN # 15V800000) BECAUSE "...ENGINE OIL FROM THE VACUUM PUMP MAY SEEP INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, DAMAGING A COMPONENT WITHIN THE BRAKE BOOSTER." ,WHICH "COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF BRAKE ASSIST, LENGTHENING THE DISTANCE NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." WHEN I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP AND RECEIVED THE DIAGNOSTIC, THEY FOUND "OIL HAD SOAKED INSIDE OF VACUUM BOOSTER CAUSING THE VACUUM BOOSTER TO GO BAD... VACUUM LINE AND MASTER CYLINDER."
WHILE DRIVING DOWN MY STREET AND ACCELERATING, THE CAR STALLED OUT. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH. HAD A HUNCH AND CHECKED THE OIL. IT WAS NEARLY BONE-DRY. ADDED TWO QUARTS AND IT APPEARS TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE TO BE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. WITH THE LACK OF WARNING LIGHT, AND JUST UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I'M JUST GLAD I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY (AS OTHER DART OWNERS I'VE TALKED TO HAVE BEEN).
CLUNKING NOISE WITH OR WITHOUT ENGAGING BRAKE PEDAL
MY 2015 DODGE DART WITH 2.4L ENGINE CONSUMES LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL. I HAVE TO CHECK THE OIL AN ADD FREQUENTLY TO MAINTAIN A SAFE LEVEL. (UP TO 1 QUART EVERY 2,000 MILES) I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FROM JULY 2018 TO THE PRESENT DAY AND HAVE HAD TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL WEEKLY TO KEEP IT FROM DROPPING BELOW THE SAFE MARK. THIS IS A MAJOR HASSLE AND WORRY.
CAR CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY RESULTING IN A ACCIDENT
TOUCHSCREEN BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY DUE TO AUTOMATIC SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL WARMERS THAT CANNOT BE DISABLED AS A RESULT.
MY CAR KEEPS CUTTING OFF AT RANDOM. THERE ARE NO DASH LIGHTS.I AM REPORTING BECAUSE IT JUST HAPPEN TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY
THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY IS WEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY
I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED TWICE DUE TO IT SHAKING WHILE TRYING TO STOP. I ALSO HAVE PUT ON THREE SETS OF ROTORS DUE TO THE SHAKING AND EVEN WITH BRAND NEW ROTORS THE BOUNCING AND SHAKING WILL NOT GO AWAY. THE NEWEST PROBLEM NOW IS THE BRAKES NOT WANTING TO WORK. I HAVE HAD THEM CHECKED BY MECHANICS AND THEY SAY THERE'S NOTHING TO DO BUT CHANGE THEM OUT AGAIN!
THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY WOULD NOT ENGAGE GEARS, WAS EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY SHIFTING. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC, FRED DRAKE AUTO WHOM INSTALLED NEW CLUTCH AND MASTER CYLINDER. A WEEK LATER, VEHICLE SHOWED IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS AND BECAME STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY. A BURNING ORDER COMING FROM ENGINE, SHIFTER WOULD NOT ENGAGE GEARS. VEHICLE WHILE IN GEAR, PEDDLE DROPPED TO FLOOR AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO IG BURTON, DIAGNOSED COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE CLUTCH SYSTEM.
LAST NIGHT I WAS DRIVING ONTO A HIGHWAY ENTRANCE. I WENT TO SWITCH FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I WAS GOING ABOUT 25 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO SHIFT GEARS AND I HEARD A LOUD CLICK. I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND THE PEDAL WAS STUCK, PUSHED ALL THE WAY IN. I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD, AND BY HAND, PULL THE PEDAL UP. NOW EVERY TIME I PUSH THE CLUTCH PEDAL IN TO SHIFT GEARS IT GETS STUCK AND I HAVE TO WEDGE MY FOOT UNDER THE PEDAL TO PULL IT BACK UP WITH MY FOOT. I ONLY DID THIS TO DRIVE MY CAR BACK HOME. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT SINCE.
HAD THIS 2015 DODGE DART FOR 1 WEEK. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED ME 546.74 FOR A CAR THAT I BOUGHT A WEEK AGO, FOR A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT CAUSED BY ME. THE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AFTER SITTING FOR A DAY. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF AND THE CAR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE REAR SIGNAL LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRUNK LID WOULD NOT OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS. THE WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER BREWBAKER DODGE, CHRYSLER AND JEEP LOCATED AT 300 EASTERN BLVD, MONTGOMERY, AL 36117, WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 174,000.
THIS HAPPENED TO ME LAST YEAR AROUND OCTOBER TO DECEMBER AND IT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. I START MY CAR AND I WILL BE DRIVING. THE CAR WILL THEN STOP RUNNING WHILE I'M IN DRIVE, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP BUT RADIO AND EVERYTHING WILL STILL BE ON. IT IS ALMOST LIKE MY CAR DIED. I AM THEN STUCK WHEREVER THE CAR BREAKS DOWN ON ME AT AND I WILL TRY AND START MY CAR. IT USUALLY TAKE 2 OR 3 TIMES BEFORE IT EVENTUALLY STARTS BACK UP. AND I ONLY HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OVER ONCE AND IT WILL KEEP TURNING OVER THE ENGINE UNTIL I TURN THE KEY TO TURN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF. IT ALSO SEEMS AS IF I HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT FOR THE CAR TO RUN FOR A MINUTE WHEN IT DOES START BACK UP BEFORE I CAN TAKE OFF AGAIN OR IT WILL JUST DIE ON ME AGAIN WHILE IM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR ANY OTHER LIGHT ON UNTIL IT SHUTDOWN ON ME. USUALLY ITS THE BATTERY LIGHT OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. BUT AS SOON AS IT STARTS UP AGAIN THEY ARE GONE. I KEEP UP TO DATE ON MY OIL CHANGES. I HAVE NO CLUE WHY IT DOES THIS. I ALSO RECENTLY CHANGED MY BATTERY. I ALSO HAD BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED AND THEY WERE GOOD. THERES TIMES I NOTICE MY CAR IDLING ON ITS OWN WHEN I START THE CAR AND WHEN I TAKE IT OUT OF PARK IT WANTS TO TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME OR EVERYDAY. ITS SCARY WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN AS I COULD BE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY CAR RANDOMLY WANTS TO SHUT DOWN ON ME. IT FEELS UNSAFE.
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I HAD IT CHECKED IT'S NOT READING ANYTHING. MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LIGHT KEEP GOING OUT. I HAVE PAID FIRESTONE IN EAST CHASE IN MONTGOMERY AL TO REPLACE THE SOCKET AND I HAVE HAD THE BULB CHANGED OUT AT LEAST 3 TIMES. MY TRUNK STARTED OUT OPENING BY IT SELF. I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED IN THE REMOTE. NOW THE TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. THE REVERSE LIGHTS ARE OUT. I REPLACED THE BULBS. STILL WON'T WORK, THE TRUNK LIGHT IS OUT. NOW THE CAR HAS STARTED TO BEEP BEEP LIKE I HAVE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED THE DOOR WHEN I HAVE NOT TOUCHED IT. I HAVE TO REPLACE MY BATTERY EVERY 3 MONTHS. SOMETHING IS WRONG. I HAVE PAID MONEY AT BREWBAKER AND FIRESTONE IN MONTGOMERY AL. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I START THE CAR UP. THE CAR BEEPS BEEPS WHEN IT IS PARKED AND THE DOORS LOCKED.
KEY IS STAYING STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I HAVE TO KEEP PUTTING IT IN AND OUT OF PARK UNITL IT RECOGNIZES IT IS IN PARK TO SHUT OFF AND RELEASE THE KEY. IT HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO SHUT OFF THE CAR. IT STARTED ONCE IN A WHILE AND NOW ITS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND PARK IT.
I WAS STOPPED ON A STREET THAT WAS A STEEP HILL CHECKING MY MAILBOX. WHEN I WENT TO GO UP THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT WORK AT ALL. CAR STARTED TO GO BACKWARDS. NO WARNING ON DASHBOARD EVER ABOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO WITH A LOT OF STRENGTH PUMP THEM UP. WENT UP DRIVEWAY AND AGAIN WOULD NOT STOP WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCAREY.
CLUTCH PEDAL GETS STUCK CLOSE TO THE FLOOR UPON START UP AND CLUTCH MAY NOT RE-ENGAGE WHEN UP SHIFTING. HAPPENED ON A BUSY CITY STREET AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL, AS THE SECOND OWNER I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND THE TIME OF THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ALTHOUGH I AM STILL UNDER THE MILEAGE BUT THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME. I WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WAS NOT JUST DRIVER ERROR WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED SUMMER OF 2019 IF I HAD BEEN PROPERLY NOTIFIED. INSTEAD IT WAS NOT UNTIL SEPT 27 2020 WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL STARTED STICKING THAT I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THE INFO OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN. 4 DEALERSHIPS HAD MY CAR MULTIPLE TIMES AND NONE OF THEM MENTIONED THIS EITHER.
IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING OR TAKEING A SLIGHT CURVE, CAR WILL SHUT OFF. MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL REBOOT UCONNECT SYSTEM & THE AC SYSTEM AS WELL DURING DRIVE. RED TEXT IS SHOWN ON THE DISPLAY OF THE INFO SCREEN IN SIDE DASH BUT CANT SEE IT DUE TOO CAR RESETTING.
NO OIL LIGHT ON, NO ENGINE LIGHT, AND IT STALLED. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH OIL CONSUMPTION WITH THE 2.4 ENGINE. MY CAR DIED AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND STARTING A TURN. Y CAR STALLED OUT TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS VERY DANGEROUS. BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, MUSIC CONTINUED, BUT ENGINGE JUST DIED. THE STEERING WHEEL FROZE (NO MORE POWER STEERING), AND I COULDN'T PRESS MY BRAKE DOWN, IT JUST SAT THERE IN THE ROAD. I CHECKED THE LEVEL OF MY OIL AND IT DOESN'T EVEN COVER THE CURVED PART OF THE DIPSTICK, THAT'S HOW LOW IT IS.THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN, A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. THE CAR IS NOT INDICATING WHEN IT NEEDS OIL, AND IS SHUTTING ITSELF OFF SO IT DOESN'T OVER HEAT WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS 70MPH+ AND IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS WHILE TURNING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOTORWORLD - MILEONE AUTOGROUP (150 MOTORWORLD DR, WILKES-BARRE, PA 18702) TO HAVE THE HER VEHICLE REPAIRED FOR HER REVERSE LIGHT. WHILE BEING SERVICED FOR THE REVERSE LIGHT, THE DEALER ALSO SERVICED THE VEHICLE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN). A WEEK AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE SAME DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHUTOFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES LATER THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000. *DT*JB*JB
MY CAR IS RANDOMLY STOPPING WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC AND HE SAYS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PCM.
THE RADIO SCREEN GOES BLACK AND THE CLIMATE CONTROLS DO NOT FUNCTION AS IT IS CONTROLLED TOGETHER. THIS MEANS I CANNOT OPERATE THE FRONT OR REAR DEFROST WHICH CAN LEAD TO VISIBILITY ISSUES AND A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING.
MY BRAKE CALIPERS ARE LOOSE ON THE VEHICLE SO MUCH THAT YOU CAN SHAKE THEM WITH YOUR BARE HANDS AND AS YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD YOU HEAR A NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CLICKING SOUND I WOULD LIKE THIS TO B LOOKED AT AS A POSSIBLE RECALL IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IM WORRY THAT IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND MY SON OR I COULD GET HURT OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE. YOU CAN HEAR THIS NOISE AS YOU ARE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WHEN U HOT A SMALL BUMP ON MY PRIVATE ROAD I LIVE ON.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND FAILED TO STOP. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT FROM HARD TO SOFT SPONTANEOUSLY. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES. THE SERVICE ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FARMINGTON (970 E WOODLAWN DR, FARMINGTON, MO 63640, (573) 431-7800) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS LIKE THAT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V800000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,049.
CLUTCH PEDAL REMAINS DEPRESSED INTERMITTENTLY ON START UP AND WHILE DRIVING. THEIR IS NOT ENOUGH PRESSURE IN THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER FOR ADEQUATE RESISTANCE OR TO RAISE THE PEDAL TO ITS STANDARD POSITION. THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION LOSS SUIT RELATED TO THIS EXACT ISSUE ON 2013-2015 DODGE DARTS BUT MY DEALERSHIP APPEARS BLISSFULLY UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. START CASE# S1406000001 APPEARS TO DIRECTLY CALL OUT THIS ISSUE BUT NONE OF THE PROCEDURES WERE FOLLOWED WHEN INSPECTING MY CAR FOR CLUTCH RELATED ISSUES. THE TECHNICAL RESPONSE WAS "MAYBE YOUR MAT WAS CAUGHT BY THE CLUTCH PEDAL?" SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO FIRST AND THE PEDAL WAS NOT RAISING. AFTER 3-4 ATTEMPTS I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO RAISE HIGH ENOUGH TO DISENGAGE AND ALLOW ME TO SHIFT INTO SECOND, THANKFULLY I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO MY HOME I DIDNT NEED TO GO BEYOND 2ND GEAR BUT FOR THERE TO BE NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM THE DEALERSHIP IS APPALLING.
I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR BARELY 4 YEARS AND I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT IN FOR THE BRAKES TO BE FIXED TWICE. THE BRAKES SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND BECAME ROCK SOLID WHEN WHEN I TRIED BRAKING ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I SWERVE AND USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKES. OTHER TIMES, IT WORKED BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PRESS IT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND ONCE IT REACHES A CERTAIN POINT IT HAS A KICK BACK TO IT AND THE CAR DOESN'T STOP SMOOTHLY INSTEAD IT JERKS ABOUT TWICE BEFORE STOPPING. ON THE SECOND INSTANCE, IT HAD A HISSING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AREA. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED WITH AN OEM. SECOND TIME IT HAPPEND (A YR LATER), THE BRAKE BOOSTER,VACUUM HOSE, AND VACUUM PUMP WERE ALL REPLACED BUT IT KEPT HAPPENING. $1,200 IN ON THIS SECOND REPAIRS AND I AM STILL WAITING TO GET THIS FIXED. A FEW DODGE DEALERS HAVE CONFIRMED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE SEDANS IN FACT THE PREVIOUS YEARS(2013 AND 2014) MODELS WERE ALL RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT THE 2015 WAS NOT RECALLED DESPITE IT HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.
WHILE DRIVING THE DODGE DART 2015, GOING DOWNHILL AT ABOUT ~40MPH, I WAS BRAKING TO DECREASE SPEED THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL LOST PRESSURE AND WAS UNABLE TO USE THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO SLOW DOWN. DUE TO BEING A MANUAL CAR I WAS ABLE TO DOWNSHIFT TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER AND AVOIDED A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED AND SERVICED AT A REPAIR CENTER THEY ROOT CAUSED THE ISSUE TO A BROKEN VALVE THAT CAUSED A FAILURE IN THE HYDRAULICS SYSTEM. ATTACHED DOCUMENTS SHOW REPORT OF VALVE MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING FAILURE IN VACCUM SYSTEM.VALVE FAILURE CAUSED BRAKE BOOSTER TO BE FILLED WITH OIL CAUSING THAT COMPONENT TO FAIL AS WELL.
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PRETTY MUCH EVERY RECALL THAT IS ON THE LIST NUMBER ONE IT STARTED WITH MY CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. AND THE CODES THAT KEPT ON COMING UP OR FOR THE PLUGS AND COILS. I WOULD REPLACE THEM AND THEY WOULD JUST GO BAD AGAIN IN LIKE A WEEK IT IS CAUSING MY CAR TO DO WHAT SEEMS LIKE IT'S MISFIRING. MY TIRE LIGHT IS STUCK ON WHEN THE TIRES ARE FINE. THE SPEED CONTROL STOPS WORKING ON AND OFF. WHEN I STEER THERE'S A LOUD CLICKING NOISE. WHENEVER I TRY TO SHIFT HERE LATELY SOMETIMES IT WON'T GO INTO GEAR. WHEN I TURN ON THE AC IT WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO MISFIRE AND THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO TURN OFF THE AC AND RESTART THE CAR SOMETIMES THREE TO FOUR TIMES BEFORE IT STOPS MESSING UP.TODAY THE SCARIEST THING OF ALL HAPPENED I WAS PULLING OUT OF BRONZE AND WHITE SMOKE BILLOWED OUT OF THE CAR TAILPIPES I'M NOT SURE WHY. THE CAR IS ALSO SPORADICALLY NOT GOING IN GEAR WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY MAKING ME WORRY THAT ME AND MY FIVE KIDS ARE IN DANGER DUE TO SOMEONE RAIKKONEN TO ME BECAUSE MY CAR WILL NOT GO UP TO SPEED AND WILL NOT SHIFT INTO THE RIGHT GEAR AND MISFIRES AND WILL NOT GO OVER LIKE 30 MILES PER HOUR AND PUTZ. I REPLACE PARTS AND IT SEEMS TO WORK WELL FOR A WEEK OR TWO BUT MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST THEY SAY THAT EVERY SINGLE THING THAT IS ON THE RECALL LIST IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT ALL OF THIS I HONESTLY YOU JUST THINK THAT DART NEEDS TO TAKE THE CAR BACK.. LIKE RECALL IT COMPLETELY. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE AFTER THE FIRST YEAR OF DRIVING IT. *TR
ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS TWO WEEKS APART MY CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF A RESTAURANT I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO START AND THE SECOND TIME IT WAS AFTER MIDNIGHT I WAS LEAVING WORK AND I TURNED INTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY(THANK GOD THERE WASN'T AND BIG TRUCKS COMING)CAUSE AS SOON AS I TURNED ONTO THIS HIGHWAY MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT START.I WORK ON A HIGHWAY WHERE THERE ARE ABOUT EIGHT DIFFERENT TRUCK STOPS WHO ALL SERVICE AND PROVIDE FUEL FOR EIGHTEEN WHEELERS I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. *TR

MY 2015 DODGE DART HAS BEEN OPERATING VERY WELL UNTIL THE LAST FEW WEEKS. RECENTLY I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE ROAD SHIFT THE CAR INTO ANY GEAR ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS WILL GO TO 6000-6500, BUT THE CAR GOES NO WHERE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME EVERY TIME I GET INTO IT AND NOW I DON'T FEEL SAFE. I TOOK IT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS WHICH BOTH OF THEM STATED THIS WAS A DODGE ISSUE; WHERE THERE IS OPEN LAWSUITS AND LEMON LAW ACTS IN PROGRESS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THE 2016 RECALL FOR 2016 DODGE DARTS EXPLAINS EVERY PROBLEM I'M HAVING AND EVEN SAYS THE PARTS THAT HAVE GONE BAD WILL GO BAD. IT ALSO STATES THAT THE PROBLEM MAY AFFECT MANUAL TRANSMISSION 2015 DARTS. THE DODGE MECHANICS TOLD ME I NEED A NEW CLUTCH, THROW OUT BEARING, AND FLY WHEEL. $2,000 FIX IN WHICH THEY SAID WOULD ONLY BE A BAND AIDE BECAUSE IT'S A DEFECT WITH DODGE DARTS AND IT WILL CONTINUALLY HAPPEN NO MATTER HOW I DRIVE OR HOW OFTEN I REPLACE THE PARTS. DODGE CORPORATE HAS OCCUPIED MOST OF MY WEEK ON THE PHONE AND THEY KEEP DENYING ME ASSISTANCE, PLUS KEEP CLOSING MY CASES WITH NO REASON WHY.
THE CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF, I'M NOT A MECHANIC I DONT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS I AM WASTING MONEY TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS WELL AS MY OIL GOES AWAY REALLY FAST I HAVE TO GET AN OIL CHANGE SOONER THAN MOST EVEN USING THE GOOD SYNTHETIC OILS FROM THE DEALERSHIPS.
I DRIVE A 2015 DODGE DART. I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT ON A DECLINE. SHIFTED TO N, COASTED WITH MY FOOT IN THE BREAK, UNTIL COMFORTABLE. WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPED, I SET THE E-BRAKE. MY BRAKE PEDAL DECOMPRESSED AND PUSHED BACK AT MY FOOT. NOW PEDAL IS STIFF AND WON'T MOVE. WHEN LEAVING PARKING LOT BRAKE PEDAL HALFWAY DECOMPRESSED. I WENT TO STOP AT THE INTERSECTION STOP SIGN. PRESSED BRAKES TO STOP AND COULDN'T.. THE PEDAL WAS ROCK SOLID, STIFF AS A BOARD. I THEN PULLED MY E-BRAKE, ONLY TO COME TO A SCREECHING STOP HALF WAY INTO CROSS TRAFFIC. I PUSHED BRAKES TO SHIFT TO REVERSE AND THE PEDAL WAS STIFF WITH NO PLAY. I SHIFTED TO REVERSE AND BACKED INTO A PARKING SPOT, HAD TO, AGAIN, PULL MY E-BRAKE TO STOP. CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED. BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE. DODGE WANTED 3K. MY FRIENDS SHOP WANTED $400. HAD CAR TOWED TO HIM. WHEN HE ORDERED THE PART, IT WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. SO I ASKED MYSELF WHY, LOOKED INTO IT AND FOUND OUT THE '13-'14 MODELS BRAKE BOOSTER WAS RECALLED. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED EARLY 2015. WHEN I CHECKED THE VIN, THERE WAS NO RECALL. BUT SEEING HOW THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER, AND I'VE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR NINE WEEKS NOW, I'M STARTING TO THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. IF IT ORIGINALLY WAS 3 DAYS TO 3 WEEKS, AND THAT'S NOW TRIPLED..

MY CAR SWITCHES GEARS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT ALSO TAKES A LONG TIME FOR THE KEY TO BE RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. A GLITCH IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAUSES MY LIGHTS TO GO DIM OR COMPLETELY TURN OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING.
I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND WALKED INTO WORK AND WHILE I WAS GONE AND MY CAR WAS OFF IT CAUGHT ON FIRE IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT AND IS NOW TOTALED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE ASSIST WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V800000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC).

BRAKES COMPLETELY WENT DOWN TO FLOOR AND CAR ACCELERATED. I NOTICED A AIR SWOOSHING SOUND AS I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THEM. I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH VACUUM HOSE RUNNING TO VACUUM PUMP TO BRAKE BOOSTER THAT WAS/IS LEAKING THAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. THEY DEEMED CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL I PAY FULL PRICE FOR REPAIR ALTHOUGH I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2013-2014 DODGE DARTS FOR THIS ISSUE. CAN IT BE POSSIBLE THE 2015 DODGE DART IS ALSO AFFECTED? I'M AT 47, 985 MILES. I AM THE ONLY OWNER.*DT REPAIRED *JB
ON 10/24/19 WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE AND LOSE POWER. I HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY EXIT OF FREEWAY ONCE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OVER INSTEAD IT MADE A THUMP SOUND. THE VEHICLE SMELLED LIKE GAS AND OIL INSIDE. LEADING UP THE THIS EARLIER IN THE WEEK THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHILE AT STOP SIGNS AND LIGHTS FEELING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. CAR WAS TOWED TO MY HOUSE THEN ON 10/25/19 VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DODGE DEALER WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY STILL AT.
MY 2015 DODGE DART HAS STARTED TO OVERHEAT WHILE SITTING IN LIGHT TO HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH SEVERAL STOP LIGHTS AFTER DRIVING 30 MINUTES NON STOP. I DID HAVE THE RECALL DONE ON IT FOR THE THERMOSTAT WHEN IT CAME OUT. I HAVE MY CAR SERVICED AND EVERYTHING CHANGED LIKE YOUR SUPPOSE TO SO WHY IS MY CAR OVERHEATED BUT WHEN I TAKE OFF IT COOLS DOWN?

REAR VIEW CAMERA WENT OUT ON MY 2015 DODGE DART... THIS CAME RIGHT AFTER A RECALL AND MY TRANSMISSION CABLE BUSHING SNAPPED.
I HAVE TRIED TO SCHEDULE A RECALL FOR MONTHS. I RECEIVED THE NOTICE, CALLED JIM CLICK DODGE, WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MONTHS. AFTER ABOUT 4 MONTHS OF THIS, THEY STARTED TELLING ME THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT TODAY AND WHEN I ARRIVED, THEY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T ORDER THE PART AND IT WOULD BE ANOTHER WEEK. I'VE CALLED LARRY H. MILLER AND WAS PUT ON A "LIST". I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY WEREN'T ANY HELP EITHER AND JUST KEPT SAYING "I'M SORRY". CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW.
THE 2015 DODGE DART WAS PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018 WITH 35,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED HAD HASN'T HAD ANY ISSUES UNTIL NOVEMBER 9, 2019. THE CAR WAS STARTED THAT MORNING AND IDLED APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES, IT DROVE ABOUT 60 FEET AND STALLED, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHERE LOST. THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART IT STRUGGLED, BUT EVENTUALLY TURNED OVER. IT THEN DROVE FINE . ONCE AT HOME I RESEARCH THE ISSUE AND FOUND MULTIPLE REPORTS LIKE MINE OF ENGINES STALLING DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION.
WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAR WILL JERK, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL TURN OFF AND THE DASH WILL LIGHT UP SAYING ELECTRIC BRAKE SERVICE, I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE PANEL IF NEEDED, ALSO THE CAR WILL NOT ALWAYS START WHEN THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED, TRACTION CONTROL ALSO LIGHTS UP FOR NO REASON, THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE OCT, 3 2019
2015 DODGE DART. THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER HAS STOPPED WORKING. IT AFFECTS THE MILES TO EMPTY, THE FUEL GAUGE, ALSO THE GAS TANK LIGHT IS ON. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX. AT THE DEALER JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM (WHEN YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS) COSTS $175.00. ACCORDING TO REPAIR PAL IT IS: HTTPS://REPAIRPAL.COM/ESTIMATOR/DODGE/DART/FUEL-LEVEL-SENDING-UNIT-REPLACEMENT-COST THE AVERAGE COST FOR A DODGE DART FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT REPLACEMENT IS BETWEEN $708 AND $1,372. LABOR COSTS ARE ESTIMATED BETWEEN $61 AND $78 WHILE PARTS ARE PRICED BETWEEN $647 AND $1294. ESTIMATE DOES NOT INCLUDE TAXES AND FEES.
THE CAR IS USING OIL AND WILL COMPLETELY DIE WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT BECOMES EMPTY IF I COME TO A STOP IT WILL COMPLETELY DIE AND I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND THE CAR STRUGGLES TO TURN BACK ON. DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE ON SO MANY DARTS AND NOTHING IS BEING FIXED. THIS ENGINE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! TWICE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES THIS LAST TIME I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY EMPTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING THAT I HAD THE CAR.
WHEN PULLING INTO THE STORE A WARNING CAME ON MY SCREEN STATING THAT MY TURN SIGNALS WERE OUT WHEN THEY WEREN'T. ALSO STATED THAT MY LOW BEAMS WERE OUT, THEY WEREN'T. WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC A METALLIC BURNING SMELL CAME THROUGH THE AIR VENTS EVERY COUPLE MILES.
DROVE TO WORK FINE. GOT INTO DART TO LEAVE, STARTED CAR. AFTER 2 SECONDS I FEEL THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSH OUT HARD AGAINST MY FEET WITH A HISSING SOUND. THE ALARM "SERVICE ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM" POPS UP. I'M THINKING IT'S JUST EXTRA PRESSURE LIKE OLDER VEHICLES, SO IT'S OK. BUT NO, I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND REALIZE I HAVE TO STOMP THE PEDAL WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE TO GET ANY STOPPING RESPONSE. I HAD TO DRIVE IT HOME VERY CAREFULLY, BUT THE BRAKING RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL IS ABOUT 2 SECONDS OF SLOWING THEN A HISS AND YOU FEEL THE BRAKES LET GO, SO YOU EITHER HAVE TO KEEP DOING THAT OR STOMP WITH ALL OF YOUR MIGHT AND PRETTY MUCH LOCK UP THE BRAKES. I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, I GOT THE CAR ABOUT 1.5 YEARS AGO AT 48000MI, I'M NOW AT 64239MI AND VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY. IT'S A 2015, AND LOOKING UP RECALLS THE 2013 AND 2014 CARS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY CAR (WHICH IS A 2.4L MANUAL, ALMOST IDENTICAL IF NOT THE EXACT SAME CAR TO PREVIOUS YEARS) WAS NOT. I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE A BRAKING SYSTEM AND REALLY DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO BECAUSE THE CAR ITSELF ISN'T OLD ENOUGH TO CONSTITUTE A BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT ATLANTA WEST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 1251 THORNTON RD, LITHIA SPRINGS, GA 30122, (770) 942-1102) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
CLUTCH STICKS TO THE GROUND AND LOOSES PRESSURE, WILL NOT SHIFT, FAILS TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE GEARS.
THE RIGHT WINDOW NO LONGER WORKS AS WELL AS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE TRUNK IS ALSO NOT WANTING TO OPEN. KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION EVERY TIME I TRY AND TURN THE CAR OFF. SHIFT CABLES ALSO BROKE, I WAS JUST GETTING HOME WHEN IT HAPPENED I HEARD SOMETHING SNAP BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH THEN I PARKED AND TRIED TO DRIVE OFF AGAIN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT TO DRIVE I COULD MOVE THE STICK.BACK AND FORTH STILL,HAD IT REPLACED A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THEY SAID THE WHOLE ROD HAD COME OUT AND SHOT INTO SOMETHING ELSE IN THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFT FIXED. ALSO HAD MOTOR MOUTHS FIXED THE MOUTHS BECAME LOSS WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW I BELIEVE THE AC COMPRESSOR IS MESSING UP AC KICKS ON BUT NO AIR COMES OUT, BUT IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE IN A WHILE CAR ALSO STAYS COLD FOR A LONG WHILE AND MAKES A WEIRD CLICKING NOISE WHEN I START IT UP. ALSO SMELLS LIKE OIL. PASSAGE SEAT ALSO IS STUCK. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHIN 2YEARS IVE HAD THE VEHICLE.
SUSPENSION IS TOO EASILY ADJUSTED. THE LITTLEST BUMP WILL THROW OUT ALIGNMENT AND HAVE THE RECEIPTS TO PROVE. WHEELS BEND EASILY, SPECIFICALLY 18 INCH RIMS. ENGINE USED TOO MUCH OIL AND LEAVES YOUR CAR TO SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHICH IS ADDED AS THE ISSUE IS KNOW TO HAPPEN. I AM 2,500 MILES AWAY FROM AN OIL CHANGE AND I NEED TO ADD OIL BECAUSE THE CAR USES SO MUCH. THE ISSUE IS KNOW BY DODGE AND ONLINE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT.
BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON. RECALL FOR SHIFTER WAS FIXED, BUT THE FUSE BOX IS NOW BURNT. IT'S IS A SPECIAL PART. I THINK THAT THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE RECALL THEN PART IS INTER THE BATTERY AND NEAR FUSE BOX,

WHEN I'M DRIVING, MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND WOULDN'T MOVE. THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON, ALTHOUGH I HAVE A BRAND NEW BATTERY THAT I GOT A YEAR AGO, AND WHEN I TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF TO RESTART IT, IT WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. I FOUND A RECALL AND HAD THE RECALL FIXED AND IT IS NOW WORSE WITH SHIFTING THAN IT WAS BEFORE, AND IT'S STILL STALLING AND LOSING COMPLETE POWER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AS IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH, IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY ENOUGH, I WAS AT THE END OF MY STREET, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WENT TO DRIVE AGAIN AND THAT'S WHEN IT LOST POWER.
TRANSMISSION SLAVE CYLINDER
THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY DIE WHILE DRIVING. WHILE PERFORMING A TURN AND THE CAR DIES IT LOCKS THE STEERING AND NO USE OF BRAKES. NOW THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT ALL. ALTERNATOR, BATTERY AND STARTER HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND STILL NOTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT HAS ALWAYS EVENTUALLY STARTED UP UNTIL RECENTLY.

I HAD PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND WENT INTO A FRIENDS HOUSE AND MY CAR ROLLED OVER HIS GRILL AND ROLLED DOWN BEHIND HIS HOUSE. IT COSTED ME $100.00 TO HAVE TOWED OUT OF HIS BACKYARD BECAUSE THE GROUND WAS WET AND MY CAR SUSTAINED FRONT END DAMAGE. I CALLED YALL TWO YEARS AGO WHEN THIS HAPPENED . IT WAS JANUARY 29TH 2017 AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE DOCUMENTED AND THAT THERE'S NO RECALL FOR MY CAR . LAST WEEK I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BRUSHING.

TPMS SYSTEM FAILURE (MULTIPLE TIMES) I HAVE HAD MY TPMS SYSTEM REPAIRED THREE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE AND IT NEVER FAILS THAT IT STOPS WORKING AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER GETTING IT FIXED. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT COULD BE FOR SOME PEOPLE THAT DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR TIRES. THE RIGHT CV AXLE HAS ALSO GONE OUT OF MY CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES. THIS ITEM WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY BUT OTHER FRIENDS THAT OWN DARTS HAVE MENTIONED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT CREATED A BAD POPPING NOISE AND MADE GOING OVER BUMPS SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE. TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE -- THIS IS ACTIVE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BUT FIGURED I WOULD INCLUDE THE INFORMATION.
VEHICLE IS UNDER RECALL ALREADY, ITS STUCK IN NEUTRAL, THE GEAR SHIFT MOVES BUT THE TRANSMISSION ISN'T CHANGING GEAR. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEIR GIVING ME PROBLEMS EVEN LOOKING IT UP TO VERIFY THE RECALL AND TO INSPECT IT. THEY AGREED TO GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR AFTER THEY VERIFY THE RECALL BUT TOLD ME IT COULD BE WEEKS TILL THEY HAVE TIME TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE MANY OTHER CARS THAT NEED REPAIRED AND THIS WASN'T A TOP PRIORITY. SO MY CAR IS AT THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO WHERE I BROKE DOWN, WAITING FOR THEM TO HAVE THE TIME TO EVEN VERIFY THE RECALL? I WAS UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING RECALLS SHOULD BE PERFORMED AND COMPLETED ON A TIMELY MANNER, BUT IM BEING PUT ON THE BACK BURNER BECAUSE THIS IS A RECALL AND IM NOT PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR IT SO ITS NOT A HUGE CONCERN FOR THEM. I WAS TOLD BY DODGE IF I DIDNT LIKE THE WAIT I COULD GO ELSEWHERE. I CANT. THE CAR IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL SO ITS STUCK AT DODGE UNLESS I PAY TO TOW IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN).

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE ON MY CAR STOPPED WORKING WHEN I WAS LEAVING MY GARAGE TO GO IN A ROAD TRIP. THIS PROBLEM ALREADY HAVE A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED, HOWEVER A REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND THEY ADVISED THAT A PART HAS BEEN ORDERED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE CONTACTED FCA THAT ADVISED ME THAT THEY WOULD SEND APPROVAL TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PROCEED WITH THE REPAIR. HOWEVER, AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS FROM ME AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP, FCA STILL HAVEN'T GIVEN THE APPROVAL TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PROCEED WITH THE REPAIR.
I WAS NOTIFIED ON 04/18/2019 OF THE MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL ISSUED NHTSA #19V-293 #V34 2013-2016 DODGE DART PF SHIFT CABLE BUSHING. IT IS NOW 08/18/2019 4 MONTHS LATER AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. WHILE I HAVE NOT HAD A MISHAP AND THE PART HAS NOT FAILED YET I FEAR IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. MY SON IS NOW AT COLLEGE ON HIS OWN WITH THE 2015 DODGE DART AND I HAVE TO REMIND HIM TO TRY AND BE GENTLE WITH THE SHIFTER AND MAKE SURE THAT HE SETS THE PARKING BRAKE IN CASE THE BUSHING FAILS AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T GO INTO PARK.

IT SHOWED THAT MY THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL WAS BAD. PRIOR TO THIS IT SEEMED LIKE SOMETIMES WHEN I TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS THAT IT WAS STICKING OR SOMETHING. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF IT WAS SWITCHING GEARS PROPERLY. TO TOP IT OFF, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF MY TIRES ONCE, AND A COUPLE OF THEM TWICE. NOW TODAY IT APPEARS I'LL HAVE TO REPLACE THE BACK TWO A THIRD TIME. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! I'VE BEEN WONDERING IF THEY JUST DIDN'T LET ME KNOW THAT THE TIRES THEY WERE PUTTING ON WERE BAD TIRES, POSSIBLY RECALL TIRES. I'M WONDERING BECAUSE I'VE REPLACED TIRES WAY TOO MANY TIMES, AND ONE OF THE LAST TIMES I WENT THEY TOLD ME THEY NO LONGER HAD THE TYPE OF TIRES THAT WERE ON MY CAR, BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO STOP BUYING THAT BRAND. WHEN I ASKED WHY, HE FUMBLED AROUND THAT AND TOLD ME THE PLACE THEY (DEALERSHIP) GOT THEM FROM (PEP BOYS) NO LONGER USED THOSE COMPLAINTS.
CAR DROPPED OUT OF GEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. IT WAS TERRIFYING I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BUT WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. DROPPED SPEED AND THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION.

TAKATA RECALL - MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. ALONG WITH THE SWIGGLY ROAD LIGHT. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS WHY THEY ARE ON. THE OTHER ISSUE BEING THE SHIFTER CABLE OF THE CAR, I HAVE USED MY SHIFTER AND THE CAR DOES NOT ACTUALLY SHIFT IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. MY BREAKS, HOWEVER, DID WORK SO I USED THEM. I BELIEVE THIS WAS UNSAFE BECAUSE ON THE HIGHWAY PEOPLE DRIVE VERY FAST. IF I WAS TRYING A MANUAL DODGE DART I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I STOPPED USING THE MANUAL SHIFTER WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK OR REVERSE HOWEVER IT SHIFTS VERY ABRUPTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR A WHILE NOW BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE MY FOOT WASN'T ON THE BRAKE HARD ENOUGH BUT IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN.

CAR WILL CUT OFF GOING DOWN ROAD AND WILL NOT CRANK BACK FOR AT LEAST 3 MIN. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY OTHER TRAFFIC ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS. THIS STARTED BACK IN JULY 2016.DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S A SAFETY TO KEEP CAR FROM BLOWING UP WHEN IT HAS LOW OIL. THE CAR BURNS EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. PROBLEM IS I HAVE OIL CHANGED ON A REGULAR SCHEDULE AND BETWEEN OIL CHANGES TO PREVENT CAR FROM CUTTING OFF IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD I HAVE TO PUT ANY WHERE FROM 15 TO 25 QUARTS OF OIL IN. IT'S GETTING WORSE. IT'S NOT LEAKING ANYWHERE. ALSO SOMETIMES OUT OF NO WHERE WITH MY FOOT NOT ON ACCELERATOR IT SEEMS TO ACCELERATE ON IT'S ON. THE CAR ALSO HESITATES ON TAKEOFF OFTEN.
MY PROBLEM PERTAINS TO RECALL 19V-293 MY SHIFT CABLE BUSHING BROKE TODAY WHILE I WAS SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK IN A PARKING GARAGE AND ACCORDING TO THE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP IN TALLAHASSEE, FL CHRYSLER HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY PARTS OR REMEDY FOR THE ISSUE WHICH WAS RECALLED IN APRIL. THEY TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE ME AT LEAST $450 TO REPAIR THE ISSUE AND THAT THEY COULD NOT GIVE ANY ESTIMATE AS TO HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PERSONALLY SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FROM CHRYSLER AFTER THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE GIVEN THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED NEARLY THREE MONTHS AGO AND AM REPORTING WHAT I BELIEVE IS A FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY PROVIDE REMEDY FOR THE ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER.

I WAS ONLY A FEW BLOCKS FROM AN EXPRESS OIL CHANGE & TIRE ENGINEER ON 5700 SANDERSON RD NW, HUNTSVILLE, AL. MY VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC.

RECALL NUMBER: 19V-293 AT THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 2018, I DROVE UP TO MY HOUSE IN THE DRIVEWAY, SHIFTED INTO PARK, LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND MY CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS! I TRIED SHIFTING INTO DRIVE AGAIN THEN TO TRY TO MOVE IT INTO PARK AGAIN BUT THE LIGHT ON THE DASH SHOWED STILL IN PARK, EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER WAS IN DRIVE. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING AWAY. THE NEXT DAY, I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (COURTESY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE IN TAMPA, FL) BUT THEY SAID IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED, I HAD TO PURCHASE THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE AND IT WOULD COST ME OVER $500 TO REPLACE IT. I WAS FURIOUS AS THIS IS WAY OUTSIDE OF MY BUDGET. I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE A TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE BUSHING REPAIR KIT FOR $35 OFF OF AMAZON. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ABLE TO REPLACE THE BUSHING AND IT WORKS FINE (FOR NOW) BUT MY CONCERN IS WONDERING, WITH THIS RECALL, IF SOMETHING IS CAUSING THE BUSHING TO WEAR DOWN AND BREAK, CAUSING THESE ISSUES OR POTENTIALLY CAUSING A VEHICLE CRASH. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS RECALL THIS MONTH (JUNE 2019) AND APPARENTLY IT'S BEEN ONGOING SINCE, AT THE LATEST, 2016?? AND THE DEALERSHIP KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT? UNBELIEVABLE. IF THE STATUS IS "RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" AND IT'S BEEN 3 YEARS, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE ABLE TO ALLOW US TO TRADE THE CAR IN TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO CAUSE THIS MALFUNCTION WITH A POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE CRASH, WITHOUT US GETTING THE WORSE END OF THE DEAL.

I CALLED THE CHRYSLER 1-800-853-1403 NUMBER AND THEY WERE NO HELP!!!!! THEY KEEP SAYING JUST TURN THE KEY OFF. I EXPLAINED IT WAS A PUSH BUTTON START AND THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT!!!!!! *DT *TR *DT *DT CONSUMER WAS TOLD PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE NEXT MONTH.*JB
CAR WILL NOT SHIFT WHEN PUT FOOT ON GAS PEDAL BUT WILL REV. DASH WILL DIM WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND BLUETOOTH WILL SHUT OFF ALSO. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP WHILE IT IS IDLING AND WHILE GOING 30MPH OR LESS. ONLY HAPPENS WHILE IN THE CITY. NO PROBLEM WHILE ON HIGHWAYS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND NO MESSAGES ON THE DASH EITHER. THIS PROBLEM HAS NO PATTERN AND WILL HAPPEN RANDOMLY. THIS 2015 DODGE DART HAS AROUND 52,000 MILES ON IT. JUST STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS CAR THAT SOUNDS SIMALAR, BUT THAT RECALL MENTIONED NOTHING ABOUT THE DASH DIMMING WHEN THIS HAPPENS OR THE BLUETOOTH CUTTING OUT. THE CAR WILL VIOLENTLY JERK BACK AND FORTH WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ALSO IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT OR MAKING A TURN. AND THIS CAR HAS ONLY HAD IT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT ROADS, NO HILLS. WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMING ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE ARE NO FAULT CODES EITHER. SO CAN'T DOCUMENT IT. WE LIVE IN MINNESOTA AND THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED IN THIS STATE. MANUFACTURES RECALL NUMBER IS V34 AND NHTSA RECALL NUMBER IS 19V-293.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK, THEN REVERSE, AND THEN INTO FIRST GEAR TO RELEASE THE KEY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED GENGRAS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (460 CONNECTICUT BLVD, EAST HARTFORD, CT 06108, (860) 289-0246) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER FOR A TEMPORARY REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.
SHIFTER CABLE CAME APART AGAIN THIS HAS BEEN OUR THIRD TIME DEALING WITH THIS SITUATION. I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT AND TRIED TO REVERSE BUT THE SHIFTER WOULDN'T MOVE TO REVERSE SO IT JUST STAYED ON PARK AND THE NEXT WAS WORSE MY CAR SCATCHED THE SIDE OF THE WALL DUE TO THE SHIFTER GOING BAD. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEP DEALING A SITUATION THAT THE MAKERS ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT..
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL RUMBLING NOISE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR AND HESITATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED OURISMAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (12430 AUTO DR, CLARKSVILLE, MD 21029) TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,250. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 19V-293. THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING ON THE TRANSMISSION END OF THE SHIFTER CABLE WHICH CAN DETERIORATE AND BECOME DETACHED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THAT MY WIFE WAS STUCK AND COULD NOT MOVE DO TO THIS RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER HAVE SAID, THIS RECALL DOES NOT HAVE A FIX DATE I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT OCTOBER WOULD BE THE DATE. MY WIFE IS IN FEAR FOR HERSELF AND OUR KIDS. DODGE HAS NOT OFFERED ANYTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. WE ARE TRAVELING IN 2 WEEKS AND NOW HAVE TO SPEND OUR VACATION MONEY TO RENT A RELIABLE CAR? THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN A COMPANY FIX AN ISSUE TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFE. THIS IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF YOU SEARCH ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AND RECALL SINCE 2013? 6 YEARS CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS AND YET REFUSE TO COMPENSATE THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH ANYTHING TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. THIS IS SICKENING TO ME. THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE AND CAME TO A STOP, SHE SHIFTED THE GEAR TO GO IN DRIVE AND NOTHING. THE GEAR SHIFTER WILL GO FORWARD AND BACKWARDS WITHOUT ENGAGING THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER FIGURING OUT ABOUT THE RECALL. WE HAD TO POP THE HOOD. PUT MY HAND BY THE ENGINE WHERE IT'S HOT, AND POP THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER BACK ONTO THE TRANSMISSION PLATE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. A THIRD DEGREE BURN WILL CAUSE A LAWSUIT.

UPON DRIVING A FEW MONTHS AFTER GETTING THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED IT WAS BURNING OIL RATHER FLUENTLY. WHEN TURNING CORNERS WHILE DRIVING IT WOULD SHUT OF AND I'D HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT TEN MINUTES AND IT WITHHOLD TURN ON LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER ADDING MORE OIL IT WOULD OPERATE A BIT BETTER. THEN THE THROTTLE SYSTEM KICKED OUT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. I PULLED OVER FOR SAFETY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER RESTARTING IT I LEARNED THE THROTTLE BODY SYSTEM WAS BAD. I INITIALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS UNTIL AFTER RESEARCHING THE VEHICLE AND IT'S FUNCTIONS...I CANNOT GET SPEED GOING UP HILL AND CANNOT REACH DOES IF MORE THAN 40-45MPH.
EVERT 2 MINUTES THE MEDIA CONSOLE TURNS BRIGHT WHITE, THEN SHUTS OFF, THEN REBOOTS. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LIGHT FROM THE CONSOLE IS BLINDING. EVEN IF YOU TURN OFF THE SCREEN, IT WILL REBOOT EVERY 2 MINUTES. IT DOES THIS ALL THE TIME, PARKED, OR DRIVING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND SHIFT INTO GEAR.

CAR HAS ISSUE SHIFTING BETWEEN NEUTRAL AND GEARS WHILE DRIVING. WHILE IN DRIVE AND ACCELERATION IS ADDED CAR STALLS AND WILL OCCASIONALLY BURN CLUTCH SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS AS IF IN NEUTRAL. IF ANY ACCELERATION IS ADDED CAR WILL REV AS IF IN NEUTRAL. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS 20-30% OF THE TIME AND APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. WHEN BRAKING TO A STOP THE CLUTCH BURNS 20-30% OF THE TIME WHEN DOWN SHIFTING AND FILLS CAB WITH SMOKE. AT COMPLETE STOP ENTERED DRIVE AND LET OFF OF BRAKE. ENGINE ACCELERATED TO 3K RPM'S THEN GRINDED GEARS TRYING TO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO THE APPROPRIATE GEAR. AFTER GRINDING ABRUPTLY GRABBED GEAR AND FUNCTIONED AGAIN. ACCELERATION FROM COMPLETE STOP, CAR STALLS BEFORE FINDING GEAR.
MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ALMOST ANY SPEED; AT TIMES WHEN I HIT A HARD BUMP, OR MAKE HARD TURNS, AND EVEN WHEN IDLING AT TIMES AS WELL. RPMS SHOOT TO ZERO AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF LEAVING YOU ONLY ABLE TO STEER...I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP AT LEAST TWICE FOR THE ISSUE SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND EACH TIME WHATEVER IT IS SEEMS TO BE FIXED UNTIL A FEW WEEKS/MONTHS LATER WHEN IT ENDS UP HAPPENING AGAIN. THE LATEST TIME WAS 04/08/19 ON MY WAY TO WORK IN THE MORNING WHEN I WAS MERGING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY; AT ABOUT 40MPH THE CAR STALLED AND THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK.
I FIRST STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR IN 2017 MY CAR WOULD OVERHEAT AND SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK IT INTO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS MY BATTERY AFTER THAT I HAD THEM CHANGE THE BATTERY. AFTER MAYBE A DAY I WENT TO WORK AND THE CAR SHUT OFF ON ME AGAIN. I THEN GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND THE CAR WORKED GOOD FOR A FEW MONTHS UNTIL I CAME UPON THE PROBLEM AGAIN THE CAR SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS THE OIL BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENS I CHANGE MY OIL AND THE CAR IS FINE AFTER. I CHANGED MY OIL RECENTLY AND MY CAR IS STILL EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THE BATTERY LIGHT TURNS ON AND IT IS A HASSLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON. I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME CAR AS ME IT IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD TO BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH MY CAR ESPECIALLY SINCE I KEEP UP WITH THE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND IT ONLY HAS AROUND 40,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
CLUTCH RATTLES AND VIBRATES. I ALREADY REPLACED IT AT MY COST SINCE REFUSED TO COVER TRANSMISSION CLUTCH IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. CAR HAS 51K MILES. REPLACED WERE THE CLUTCH, CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE , SLAVE CYLINDER, THROW OUT BEARING, DETERIORATING MASTER CYLINDER TO THE SLAVE CYLINDER WAS EXCESSIVE FOR THE MILEAGE AND WEAR ON THE CAR.
WHILE AT IDLE SPEED CAR REVS UP THEN DOWN AND REVS UP .. WHILE ACCELERATING CAR STALLS LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL. .I WAS ON STREET
OVER THE PAST MONTH, BRAKING ACTION IS DECLINING. THEY HAVE BECOME STIFF AND MUST BE DEPRESSED QUITE HARD TO STOP. THE BRAKE PADS, UPON INSPECTION, ARE ALMOST BRAND NEW AND THERE IS NO GRINDING. SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE SUGGESTED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AS A POSSIBLE ISSUE. UPON MY OWN RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THOUSANDS OF 2013-2014 DODGE DARTS WERE RECALLED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER, ALTHOUGH THE 2015 HAS NOT. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT EVENTUALLY, THE BRAKES WILL WORSEN OR FAIL AS HAS HAPPENED WITH MANY OTHERS WHO OWN THIS SAME VEHICLE, AS WRITTEN ON SEVERAL INTERNET FORUMS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE FROM VANN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (899 S DELSEA DR, VINELAND, NJ 08360, 856-794-9700), IT STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. A PASSERBY AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE OIL RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY KEPT REFILLING THE OIL WITH NO SOLUTION OTHER THAN PROVIDING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A DRASTIC LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN) OR 16V113000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING TO MY RESIDENCE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT OF GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THE TOW SERVICE HAD TO CALL THE DEALER TO GET THE CAR REBOOTED AND TURNED OFF, AS IT WAS STILL RUNNING. THIS HAPPENED IN CLOSE TO MY HOUSE AND I WAS LUCKY THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE. I AM REPORTING THIS AS IT IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST THREE DAYS. THE FIRST TIME WAS SUNDAY THE 17TH IF MARCH AND AGAIN ON THE 19TH OF MARCH 2019. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT, (HILL- KELLY CHRYSTLER, DODGE, JEEP PENSACOLA, FL. (XXXX).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE CONTACT CALLED COLONIAL SOUTH CHRYSLER JEEP AND DODGE (42 STATE RD, DARTMOUTH, MA 02747, (508) 984-1900) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2015 DODGE DART WITH 55,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH IT STALLING WHILE STATIONARY. NOW ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IT HAS STALLED WHILE GOING 40+ MPH. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IT THIS HAPPENS WITH TRAFFIC AROUND ME.
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN WITH OUT NOTICE, WHEN DOING SO IT'S HARD TO STEER THE CAR OVER OUT OF TRAFFIC, WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN.
MY CAR SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, SO WE WERE IN MOTION. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED 4 TIMES TO ME IN A SPAN OF 3 WEEKS. I CAN EITHER BE DRIVING DURING THE DAY OR NIGHT. IT WILL HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING OR WHEN I COME TO A STOP SIGN AND ADDING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE. ONCE IT HAPPENS, AND IF I PUT IT IN PARK AS WELL, THE STICK SHIFT WILL LOCK UP AS WELL. AGAIN THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 4 TIMES TO ME WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP.
TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR GEAR SHIFT CABLE CAME APART WHILE SHIFTING GEARS TO PARK. I AM UNABLE TO MOVE FROM DIFFERENT GEARS. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OF REVIEWS CONCERNING THE GEAR SHIFT MALFUNCTION ONCE A CAR REACHES 70K MILES.
WHEN DRIVING YOU HIT A BUMP YOU HEAR A METAL CLANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE TIRE. WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE BREAKS THEY GO ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN BEFORE CATCHING AS IF THEY HAVE AIR IN THE LINES AND SOMETIMES YOU HEAR A HIDING NOISE. YOU CAN BE SITTING WITH THE BREAKS ENGAGED AND THEY WILL GO SOFT AND THE CAR WILL MOVE UNTIL THEY CAGE ON THEIR OWN.
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS WHEN THE OIL GETS LOW, THE OIL LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON, AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN. THIS CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP, AND IT BECOMES HARD TO PROPERLY PULL THE CAR OVER SAFELY. WHEN WILL DODGE RECALL THIS ENGINE?!!
THE CAR STALLS AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. DRIVING IT TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAVING THE CAR DIE IS VERY UNSAFE TRYING TO GET OFF THE ROAD.
CAR IS STALLING AND CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. GOT AN OIL CHANGE. CAR DOESN'T REACT TO PUSHING ON ACCELERATOR. RPM REV AFTER HESITATING WITH FOOT ON THE GAS. CAR IS SHAKING AND RUNNING REALLY HARD. I BELIEVE ITS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, WHICH IS COMMON IN DODGE DARTS. ITS BEEN RECALLED, BUT NOT ON MY MODEL. STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. HAD TO RESTART CAR 3 TIMES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND FAILED TO DEPRESS. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE ENGAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE "EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE SERVICED" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FUCCILLO CHRYSLER JEEP (4589 STATE HIGHWAY 30, AMSTERDAM, NY 12010, (518) 843-3333) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, OIL WAS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 57923582. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED PROBABLE CAUSE WAS LOW OIL LEVEL DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION (~ 1 QUART IN 1600 MILES). THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED EXTENSIVELY ON-LINE WITH THIS ENGINE (2.4 LITER TIGERSHARK).
THE BRAKE BOOSTER WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A RURAL HIGHWAY MAKING IT VERY HARD TO STOP AND SLOW DOWN FOR CURVES IN THE ROAD. THE LIGHTS FLICKER IN THE CAB WHILE THE CAR IS IDLING. THE CAR DOESN'T SHIFT SMOOTHLY, SHIFTING IS DELAYED AT TIMES GOING FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND.
BATTERY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS DUE TO SOMETHING DRAINING THE BATTERY BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND. ELECTRICAL IS ALL MESSED UP, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. WHEN CAR IS TURNED ON AT RANDOMLY THE AIR AND MUSIC WILL GO FULL BLAST AND IT CANNOT BE TURNED DOWN OR SHUT OFF. MECHANICALLY THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE BUT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE MOVES UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING STILL DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. WHEN DRIVING ON NORMAL BACKROADS OR HIGHWAYS THERE IS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA AND NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND AS TO WHY IT MAKES THE NOISE.
WHEN MY OIL IS LOW, THERE IS NO WARNING ON DASH, MY CAR JUST SHUTS OFF. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FEW DEALERSHIPS IN SOUTH JERSEY AND THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE DODGE DARTS. IF MY HUSBAND WAS NOT A MECHANIC AND CHANGED OIL EARLY, I WOULD HAVE THIS ISSUE EVERY TIME!
CAR IS BUCKING, NOT SHIFTING INTO GEAR PROPERLY. LOSING POWER. WHEN MOVING.
I'VE REPLACED MY BATTERY TWICE SINCE PURCHASE IN MAY. SOMETHING IS DRAINING THE BATTERY AND I'VE EVEN EXPERIENCED DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL MY DASH LIGHTS START BLINKING UNTIL THE CAR CUTS OFF AND I HAVE TO RESTART IT TO GET TO MY DESTINATION; AND THEN TAKE IT THE AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE THEM RECHARGE IT.
FINISHED DRIVING, PULLED INTO PARKING LOT AT MY APARTMENT AND TRIED PLACING CAR INTO PARK AND IT WOULD NOT GO, IT IS IN NEUTRAL OR IS DISPLAYING NEUTRAL AND KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND THE GEAR SHIFT WILL NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WAS JUST PARKING THE CAR.
ENGINE STALLS, HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN PAST 2 MONTHS, VEHICLE MILEAGE 69,000. DEALERSHIP, POCOMO IN HAMPTON, VA. HAD VEHICLE FOR 5 DAYS AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE.
NO CHECK ENGINE OR WARNING LIGHT DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN 6TH GEAR CAR BLEW UP LOUD NOISE AND CAUGHT ON FIRE! ONLY 85,000 MILES WITH REGULAR SERVICES. LOST ALL POWER AND CLUTCH PEDAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND COASTED TO SHOULDER WITH A LOT OF SMOKE COMING FROM ENGINE OPENED THE HOOD AND THERE WERE FLAMES WHERE TRANSMISSION FLUID GOES. I HAD NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING A COUPLE DAYS PRIOR BUT IT WAS CHRISTMAS TIME SO THOUGHT I COULD HAVE IT LOOKED AT AFTERWARD.
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL. INTERMITTENT EVENTS THAT OCCUR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.
PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN LATE JANUARY AND APPROX 6 MONTHS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE MOTOR WILL RANDOMLY STALL. THESE ARE INTERMITTENT EVENTS.
ON EVENING OF FRIDAY NOVEMBER 9, 2018, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AND WAS VERY SLUGGISH. THE NEXT DAY NOVEMBER 10, 2018 AT 12:15 PM WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 485 IN CHARLOTTE NC AND BEFORE I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK; THE CLUTCH BRAKE EXPLODED LIKE A GRENADE, SENDING SCHRAPNAL THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION. WE WERE LUCKY IT DIDN'T COME THROUGH THE CAB OR MY FAMILY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE TRAFFIC WAS VERY HEAVY DUE TO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND, WE WERE ALSO LUCKY THAT WE DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE DRIVEN STANDARD TRANSMISSIONS ALL MY LIFE AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED. TO SAY THE VERY LEAST I AM UPSET THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTEE DUE TO THE LOW MILEAGE AND SINCE I BOUGHT IT ON JAN 29, 2016, IT IS UNDER 3 YEARS. HOWEVER, I AM LOOKING AT A $3500 BILL TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE, THE CLUTCH BRAKE SHOULD NEVER EXPLODE LIKE THAT. CHRYSLER IS SELLING WEAK MANUFACTURED PARTS TO THE PUBLIC. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CHECKED OR REPLACED WITH A BETTER CLUTCH BRAKE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.
TAKATA RECALL: THE VEHICLE LOW AIR PRESSURE LIGHT WILL CHIME WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN AND THE CAR WILL LOOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF. THE CAR WILL TAKE 5 MIN TO START UP THE ENGINE AND WHEN GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP WILL TRIGGER THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE POWER AND SHUT DOWN AS WELL.
DAUGHTER WAS REAR ENDED IN THE DODGE DART AT 50 MILES AN HR AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY
WHILE DRIVING AT A FAIRLY HIGH SPEED WITHIN THE SPEED LIMIT MY CLUTCH JUST DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND THE MANUAL STICK SHIFT SHIFTED INTO GEARS ON IT'S OWN JUMPING AND NOT NEEDING THE CLUTCH TO SHIFT. LED TO TOTAL IMMOBILIZATION WITH CARS BEHIND ME, I LUCKILY MADE IT OVER TO A DIRT AREA BETWEEN THE ROAD AND A DITCH SAFELY.
ENGINE SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON....CAUSING LOSS OF POWER....
DART RECALL I BROUGHT THE DART IN TO DO A REFLASH FOR MY CAR TO STOP THE HARSH IDLE, CHOKE AND KNOCK .ALSO THAT THE CAR SHUTS OFF FROM A ROLLING STOP TO ACCELERATION AFTER THE REFLASH 2 DAYS LATER THE CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS SEVERAL WEEKS LATER TODAY 11/17/18 THE CAR SHUT OFF AS USUAL BUT IN A INTERSECTION HAD TO TURN ON THE CAR AND HOPE WHEN PUTTING IT IN DRIVE THE ENGINE DOESN'T SHUTOFF AGAIN IN COLD WEATHER THE VEHICLE HAS A KNOCKING GRIND SOUND AND OCCASIONALLY WILL TURN OFF IF THE IDLE DROPS LOW TO 500 AND THEN IMMEDIATELY APPLYING LITTLE GAS AND THE WARM WEATHER COMES BY OR AFTER FIRST DRIVEN THE GRINDING NOISE IS GONE BUT SAME ISSUE WHEN THE IDLE DROPS TO LOW THE ENGINE JUST DOES AND BATTERY LIGHT TURNS ON THE BATTERY IS GOOD BUT THIS ISSUE HASN'T BEEN FIXED AND WHEN I WENT THE SAID IT'S NORMAL BUT THEY DID A REFLASH
VEHICLE STARTED STALLING LAST WINTER AFTER REMOTE START THOUGHT IT WAS REMOTE START ACTING UP BUT NOW IT STARTED STALLING RANDOMLY AT IDLE AND TURNING NOW IT HAS STALLED DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT RESTART RIGHT AWAY, IT IS SCHEDULED TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE IN 4 DAYS SO I STARTED SEARCHING WHY IT WOULD BE STALLING AND READ ABOUT EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I JUST CHECKED MY OIL AND IT IS BARELY READING ON DIPSTICK. THIS IS BS THERE IS NO WAY IT SHOULD BE CONSUMING THIS MUCH OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND IT ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT.
MY CAR HAS 34,000 MILES AND I CAN'T FILL UP AT A GAS PUMP. IT WILL FUEL FOR 2 SECONDS AND CLICK OFF. I CALLED DODGE BUT IT'S NOT LINGER UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY DUE TO TIME. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW AND IV NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN ONLINE NEITHER DO THE DEALERS AND I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND THOUSANDS GETTING THIS PROBLEM LOOKED AT WHEN IT BARLEY HAS ANY MILES ON IT.
SE APAGA CUANDO FRENO. Y EL AVISO DE INFLADO DE LLANTAS EST DESCONTROLADO. NO AVISA.
MY 2015 DODGE DART ENGINE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHEN I DRIVE IT , I'VE BRUNG IT TO MULTIPLE REPAIR SHOPS AND THEY HAVE ALL SAID THAT MY CAR IS FINE NO CODES SHOWS UP ON DIAGNOSTIC. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF NO AUTO SHOP KNOWS WHAT'S TO DO AND IS KEEP SAYING MY ENGINE IS FINE WHEN OBVIOUSLY IT ISN'T IF IT KEEPS ON RANDOMLY SHUTTING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.
CONSUMPTION OF OIL. WHEN OIL IS CHANGED, I HAVE TO REPLENISH OIL AT AROUND 63-67% USEAGE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS UNTIL NEXT OIL CHANGE. THERE WAS PREVIOUS LEAK REPAIRED..NO LEAKS BUT STILL BURNING OIL. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPED THEN START EXCELERATING, EXPERIENCE HESITATION AND A RATTLING OR PINGING SOUND. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I SLOW DOWN TURNING AT CORNER THEN EXCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED OVER 1 1/2 YEARS AGO.
BACKSEAT OF THOSE NOT WORK. I HAVE A LOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE TRUNK OPENS EVERY TIME IT'S COLD OR RAINING BY ITSELF. WHEN I START THE CAR THE CAR JUST FLICKERS SOMETIMES IN THE ODOMETERS BOUNCE UP AND DOWN. MY CAR IS TELLING ME THAT MY PARK LIGHT IS OUT AND IT'S NOT. THESE ARE ISSUES I BROUGHT DIRECTLY TO THE DODGE LOT DEALER WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR
I STARTED MY VEHICLE THIS MORNING AND IT STARTED ROUGH AND WAS SURGING. AT TAKEOFF THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING STRANGLY. SLOWED TO MAKE A UTURN, TURNED TO THE LEFT SLIGHTLY AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, CAR SHUT DOWN AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. I ALMOST RAN A MAN OVER TRYING TO STOP AS I COULD NOT STEER. THE BATTERY SYMBOL POPPED UP ON THE DASH. I POPPED CAR IN PARK. REMOVED KEY. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND IT TOOK A GOOD 5-10 SECONDS BEFORE TURNING OVER. THERE WAS HESITATION UPON START. AFTER BEGINNING TO DRIVE IT SEEMED TO BE DRIVING NORMALLY..THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIT OF A TICKING TIME BOMB AND A VERY LARGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE ACROSS ALL MODELS
CAR HAS STALLED TWICE WHEN MAKING STOP AND BEGINNING TO TURN LEFT ON CITY STREET. WOULD NOT START FIRST TIME. RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES. CALLED AAA AND REPLACED BATTERY (IT TESTED SLIGHTLY WEAK, ALTERNATOR WAS STRONG). NEXT DAY, STALLED AGAIN TURNING LEFT ON CITY STREET. STARTED ABOUT A MINUTE LATER. *DT UPDATED 11/29/18*JB *DT*DT*JB THE CONSUMER STATED DEALER ADVISED THE ENGINE WAS KNOWN TO CONSUME OIL. THERE WAS NO KNOWN REPAIR OR RECALL. THE DEALER SUGGESTED TO CHECK THE OIL EVERY 500 MILES AND BE CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE EACH VISIT. *JS*DT
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY DODGE DART WITHOUT ANY INDICATION COMPLETELY DIES AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN IT DOES SO. WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO BRING OUR KIDS TO SCHOOL ON YADKIN ROAD IN FAYETTEVILLE NORTH CAROLINA AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE BECAUSE WE COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY ON THIS SMALL STREET THE CAR IS A 2015 DODGE DART AND ONLY HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT AND IT WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALL FLUIDS
THE PARKING BRAKE KEEPS FAILING UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT AROUND 32,000 MILES FOR A STICKING REAR BRAKE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER WAS DEFECTIVE. AFTER JUMPING THROUGH A FEW HOOPS, IT WAS REPAIRED. NOW AT 39,000 MILES IT'S DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN, IN ADDITION THE LEFT REAR CALIPER STARTED STICKING. ON MY 3 MILE DRIVE HOME FROM WORK RIGHT AFTER THE SYMPTOMS OF EXTENDED PARKING BRAKE HANDLE TRAVEL FOR PROPER ENGAGEMENT STARTED. I PULL IN MY DRIVEWAY AND MY REAR ROTORS ARE GLOWING. THERE WAS NO SMEL OF HOT BRAKE COMPONENTS AT ALL. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE PARKING BRAKE WORKS ON A STANDARD TRANSMISSION CAR, TO PREVENT ROLL SWAYS. LEAVING IT IN GEAR IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ENOUGH.
DART RECALL.....BOUGHT THE CAR AT 22500 MILES AND NOW AT 46000 THE CAR STUTTERS AND CHOKES IN THE COLD ROUGH IDLE AND KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM ENGINE AND THE IDLE GOES UP AND DROPS AT HIGH STOPS AND WILL SHUT OFF THE CAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN KNOCK SOUND IS HEARD ONCE DRIVEN MORE THE ONCE THE KNOCKING GOES BUT THE STALL AT FAST STOPS STILL HAPPENS WHEN PURCHASED WASN'T INFORMED RECALL WAS PUT ON THE CAR OR VARIOUS OTHER DARTS
DODGE DART RECALL ....PCM IS ACTING UP NEEDS TO BE REFRESHED ENGINE IS CHOKING IN COLD WEATHER AND WILL SHUT OFF AT A SUDDEN STOP IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS ENGINE REVS ARE COMPLETELY RANDOM BUT WILL DRIVE NORMALLY ONCE DRIVEN 4 TIMES AND ENGINE IS KEPT WARM BUT BRAKING SUDDENLY OR SWERVING AWAY SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF THE CAR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE GEAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAKOTA CHRYSLER CENTER (7950 179TH AVE SE, WAHPETON, ND 58075, 701-642-1551) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.
BRAKES GAVE OUT AND PEDAL BECAME HARD WHILE IN MOTION GOING UP ON GEORGE DIETER , EL PASO TEXAS. UNABLE TO STOP UNTIL I PRESSED THE BRAKE HARDER. WHILE PUSHING THE PEDAL MAKING A AIR NOISE AND REALLY STIFF.
PLACED CAR IN REVERSE AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT GEAR TO DRIVE. UNABLE TO REMOVE THE CAR HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS UNABLE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT, UNTIL 6 HOURS LATER UNABLE TO SHIFT ANY GEARS CAR RAN ALL NIGHT UNTIL THE BATTERY DIED. I WAS ON A CITY STREET WORKING FINE WITHOUT A PROBLEM UNTIL POOF IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SHIFT TO DRIVE.
WHEN STARTING THE CAR THE RPMS RACE ON THEIR OWN. IT ACCELERATES ON IT OWN. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. TAKING MULTIPLE TIMES TO START THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT. THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING RANDOMLY.
CAR STOPS WITHOUT WARNING, WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND DIES, NO WARNING INDICATORS BEFOREHAND, ONLY POPPING THE BATTERY LIGHT AFTER IT STOPS ACCELERATING. WAS TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY AT THE TIME. RADIO, INTERIOR LIGHTS, AND EMERGENCY FLASHERS STILL WORKED, ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED HOME FOR REPAIRS. PROBLEM WAS NOT BATTERY RELATED.
DRIVING CAR NORMALLY. I PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND WENT INTO A STORE. WHEN I CAME OUT TO START THE CAR IT WOULD NOT START. CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AUTO ZONE WAS IN THE PLAZA SO I HAD THE GUY COME OUT AND DO A DIAGNOSTIC. CODES WERE P0123, P2122, P2127, P0222, U0401. WHEN THE GUY WENT BACK INTO THE STORE THE CAR STARTED. WHEN I PARKED AGAIN 10 MINUTES LATER THE CHECK ENGINE AND CHARGE LIGHT DISAPPEARED. CAR RAN FINE FOR ONE DAY. ABOUT 33 HOURS AFTER THAT INCIDENT I PARKED THE CAR AT A PARK FOR LUNCH FROM WORK. TOOK A WALK AND WHEN I RETURNED CAR NEVER CAME ON. DASH WAS FLICKERING, ALL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, MILEAGE WAS FLASHING, GAUGES WERE FLICKERING, CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. ACTED AS IF BATTERY WAS DEAD. HAD TO WALK BACK TO WORK AND HAVE CAR TOWED BY AAA AFTER WORK. CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 4 DAYS AND WILL NOT TURN ON. NEW MESSAGES CAME UP: CHECK ELECTRIC BRAKING SYSTEM, CHECK AIR BAGS, SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM AND CHECK ANTI LOCK BRAKES SYSTEM. THE TIRE LIGHT IS ON ME BECAUSE A SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER TIRE BROKE WHEN I GOT A FLAT HITTING A CURB WHILE PARKING. I REPLACED THE TIRE BUT NOT THE SENSOR. ALSO NOW THE UCONNECT AND RADIO NOT COMING ON AND BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON, AND WHEN I MADE ATTEMPT TO START A MESSAGE CAME UP STATING ENGINE WARMING UP??? THAT WAS WEIRD. THIS ALL HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHIN A TWO DAY SPAN. NOW I AM STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR I CANT DRIVE THAT IS GOING CRAZY ELECTRONICALLY.
THE VEHICLE IS"STUCK IN NEUTRAL". THE SHIFTER MOVES FREELY BUT VEHICLE WILL NOT LEAVE NEUTRAL.
I HAVE HAD ISSUES SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE 26,000 MILES AND AM ON MY THIRD SET OF TIRES. THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THEY DO NOT FEEL ANYTHING IS WRONG YET THE TIRES KEEP WEARING OUT AND ONE RECENTLY HAD A BULGE, I COMPLAINED OF A WHIRLING SOUND AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TIRES, I REPLACED THE TIRES AND IT IS STILL THERE. I KEEP TAKING THE CAR IN AND IT IS ONE EXCUSE AFTER ANOTHER. I REPORT THE ISSUES TO DODGE AND THEY TELL ME TO GO TO THE DEALER. A MECHANIC AT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE CAR RUNS LIKE A TRACTOR TRAILER, IT IS IDLING AT 2,000 RPM IN PARK WHEN IT SHOULD BE 900 OR LESS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS AN ISSUE IN THE REAR END AND ENGINE MOUNT ISSUES. I'M AFRAID THE CAR WILL FALL APART WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME GET DODGE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUES ARE. THEY HAD THE AUDACITY TO TELL ME MY DRIVING HABITS ARE THE REASON I NEED TIRES EVERY 10,000 MILES. I HAVE A CAMARO THAT I DRIVE LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL AND GOT MY FIRST SET OF TIRES AT 50,000 MILES. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND NO ONE AT DODGE WILL HELP. WILL IT TAKE ME GETTING KILLED FOR SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING??
DRIVING ON THE OPEN ROAD THE CAR LOOSES POWER, CAN'T STEER CAN'T ACCELERATE. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING AT 70 MPH EVEN AT 35 THRU THE CITY. I HAVE NOTICED ONLINE OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND DODGE JUST SAYS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AS SOME ONE WILL DIE DRIVING THESE CARS IN THIS CONDITION!! READ WERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. HAPPENS MORE WHEN TURNING IN MY CASE.
THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN INTERMITTENT SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR, I ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE BOTH BALLASTS AND BULBS REPLACED, STILL EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE INTERMITTENTLY. IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS A RECALL OR COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY PAST 40,000 THIS CAR HAS 50,000 AND I'M ALREADY GOING TO HAVE A COMPUTER MODULE REPLACED AS IT CONTROLS THE HEADLIGHTS THIS WILL NOT BE A CHEAP REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS MANY DART OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THE FOG LIGHTS ARE THE ONLY FORWARD FACING LIGHTS I HAVE THAT WORK AT TIMES, STATIONARY OR MOVING, OTHER TIMES IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER,
THE CAR JUST WILL RANDOMLY STALL. NO INDICATION IT IS GOING TO DO THIS. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. I AM TO THE POINT I HATE DRIVING IT. I TOOK IT TO SHOP AND EVERYONE SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR SINCE 5/19
THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE IS THAT THE CLUTCH PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND STAYS THERE, THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO THE UP POSITION IS TO REACH DOWN OR USE YOUR FOOT. THE MASTER CYLINDER OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS BELOW THE MINIMUM LINE. NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT OR ANY OTHER WARNING/CAUTION. THE CLUTCH WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED I WAS ON A 7 LANE CITY STREET DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC I WAS DRIVING AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I WAS THE FIRST VEHICLE IN LINE WHEN I TRY TO START GOING THE CLUTCH FELT LIKE IT WAS SLIPPING IN FIRST GEAR WHICH IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL FOR MY VEHICLE BECAUSE FIRST GEAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY TOUCHY.. SHIFT TO SECOND GEAR IN THE CLUTCH ONCE AGAIN WAS SLIPPING AND THE ENGINE REVED THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO GO AND I MADE IT TO THE NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT. I WAS THE SECOND CAR FROM THE INTERSECTION. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I RELEASED THE CLUTCH AND THE GEAR ENGAGED IMEADIATLY WITH THE GEAR IN FIRST, THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD AND KEPT DOING THAT ABOUT THREE TIMES UNTIL THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT. PUSHING IN THE CLUTCH PEDAL DID NOTHING IT'S STAY STUCK TO THE FLOOR. IN THE MIRROR I SEE THAT THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO ME AND ALMOST CAUSED A HUGE PILE UP BEHIND ME BECAUSE OF THE HESITATION OF MY VEHICLE I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE LANE WITHOUT HELP FROM A FELLOW CITIZEN THAT WAS DANGEROUS IN ITSELF. ONCE I GOT THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE PLACE PUSHING IT I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND I SEE THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR ON THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS EMPTY. I CHECK THE FLUIDS IN MY VEHICLE AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK . WHERE DID ALL THAT FLUID GO? I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR A WEEK OR TWO NOW DUE TO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO BECAUSE THE CAR HAS 40, 000 MILES ON IT SO ITS OUT OF WARRANTY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE MADE A KNOCKING SOUND AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED ROUGHLY, JERKED, HESITATED, AND DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON OIL, ALTHOUGH THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ROUTINELY TAKEN TO IN FOR OIL CHANGES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.
CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. WITH NO WARNING, UNSAFE AND COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS.
TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CIRCUT PRNDL INPUT MALFUNCTION
IN MOTION - ON I-75 EXPRESSWAY, ENTRANCE RAMP MERGE. COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING OR FATAL TO STALL WHILE MERGING ONTO EXTREMELY BUSY EXPRESSWAY. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL STALL AT DIFFERENT TIMES, NO WARNING, NO WARNING LIGHTS, ETC.. VERY DANGEROUS. GRANDDAUGHTER WAS ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY AND JUST AS SHE WAS MERGING THE CAR STALLED. SHE WAS STILL ROLLING AND SWERVED OFF THE EXPRESSWAY ONTO THE EMERGENCY STRIP AND THEN GRASSY AREA. SHE BARELY AVOIDED A SEMI SIDESWIPE/COLLISION. BEFORE TAKING CAR TO DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD OVER THE PHONE IT COULD BE CAUSED BY A DROP IN OIL PRESSURE. THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THEY WANTED TO JUST DO AN OIL CHANGE TO SEE IF THAT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM, BUT I INSISTED THE CHECK FUEL PROPULSION, BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE FUEL PUMP/INJECTORS OR FUEL LINE WAS CAUSING PROBLEM. COME TO FIND OUT IT HAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. WE JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR IN APRIL 2018 AND IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON IT. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME TYPE OF ISSUE, SHOULD THE THROTTLE BODY BE CHECKED FOR PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE RECALL??? I SPENT 3 HOURS ON THE SIDE OF THIS EXPRESSWAY WAITING FOR A TOW BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEABLE.
RIGHT REAR CALIPER BEGAN TO STAY ENGAGED AS I WAS DRIVING, AFTER IT COOLED IT STOPPED UNTIL I DROVE AGAIN, IT BECAME SO BAD THAT IT BURNED MY ROTOR AND COOKED ALL OF THE GREASE IN THE SLEEVES. REPLACED THE ROTOR, PADS AND REGREASED THE SLEEVES, I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
MY TRANSMISSION PLACES ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL. BUT IT IS NOT UNDER A RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT FITS THE CATEGORY
WHEN I GO TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO TURN IT OFF TO GET OUT OF IT, IT TELLS ME IT ISN'T IN PARK SO I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND SLAM THE SHIFTER AS HARD AS I CAN INTO PARK TO MAKE IT GO INTO PARK AND UNLESS THE CAR IS IN PARK IT WON'T SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES TO ME.
I PURCHASED MY 2015 DART NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. SINCE 7/2017, THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON 3 SEPARATE INSTANCES. THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES UP ON THE DASH AFTER THE CAR STALLS OUT BUT THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE THAT. THE CAR DOES NOT RESTART AND HAS TO BE LEFT FOR 5-10 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL TURN OVER. EVEN THEN YOU CAN ONLY DRIVE IT UNTIL YOU PUSH THE BRAKE AGAIN AND IT STALLS OUT. THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE DART AND THAT IT BURNS MORE OIL THAN OTHER VEHICLES. EVERY TIME THIS OCCURS, THERE IS NOT A DROP OF OIL IN THE CAR. WHEN IT HAPPENED TODAY, THERE ARE LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON THE CAR SINCE THE LAST OIL CHANGE AND IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST OIL CHANGE. THE LAST TWO TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, I HAVE NEARLY GOTTEN HIT BECAUSE THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING.
THE PLASTIC BUSHING THAT CONNECTS THE SHIFT LINKAGE TO TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY CRUMBLED CAUSING CAR TO NOT SHIFT AT ALL. CAR ONLY HAS 57000 MILES. THIS IN TURN CAUSED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND READ CODE FOR THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) WHICH IN TURN CAUSED THE CAR TO RUN IN LIMP MODE FOR THE DAYS. MAJOR LOSS OF POWER! AFTER THREE DAYS CODE FINALLY CLEARED. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT A LUCKILY SLOW SPEED IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
I PURCHASED A 2015 DODGE DART 3/19/18 FROM A DEALERSHIP. I JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGE DONE WHICH WAS RECOMMENDED. THE CAR JUST RECENTLY STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON. WE CHECKED THE BATTERY (WHICH WAS A YEAR OLD) AND THE ALTERNATOR AND THEY WERE FINE. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO CHECK IT OUT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT AT AND THEY SAID IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS. NEVER DID THEY MENTION THE OIL BEING THE ISSUE. I GET A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE BECAUSE THE OIL WAS LOW THE CAR WILL STALE TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. FIRST OF ALL, IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD IF THIS CAN RANDOMLY STALL, AND SECOND NO LIGHTS CAME ON FOR THE WARNING. THE CARS METERS SHOWED THAT THE OIL QUALITY WAS AT 85% AND GOOD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT PERTAINS TO THIS CAR STALLING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART EQUIPPED WITH DEXTERO TOURING DTR1 TIRES, SIZE: 225/45R17 91H (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT AND SHREDDED INTO PIECES. ALSO, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE LOST AIR PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A GUARD RAIL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE TIRE FAILURES AND STATED THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL THE CONTACT BACK. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE FAILED TIRES WERE NOT THE ORIGINAL TIRES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE WAS 41,803 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE TIRES WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000.
MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN - SHOULD BE RECALLED!!! BRAKES QUIT WORKING PROPERLY; SOUNDS LIKE AIR WHEN PUSH DOWN ON BRAKES....WILL HARDLY SLOW DOWN AND BRAKE PEDAL TRY'S TO PUSH BACK UP WHILE HOLDING IT DOWN. RECALL THIS DODGE - YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.
I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND TRIED TO STOP BUT MUNCH BRAKES DIDN'T WANT TO WORK. IT SOUNDED LIKE AIR WAS COMING OUT WHEN I PUSHED BRAKE PEDAL AND THEN THE PEDAL WAS HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND TRIED TO COME BACK UP WHILE I WAS HOLDING IT DOWN. I'M AT A MECHANICS AND HE THINKS IT THE BRAKE BOOSTER. HE THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT SO I CALLED THE DODGE PLACE IN DOTHAN AL AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAD TO DRIVE SLOW ALL THE WAY HERE. NOW I HAVE NO WAY TO GO TO WORK OR HOME CAUSE MY BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. NOW I'M WAITING TO HAVE I TO FIXED. DODGE SAID IT WOULD BE AROUND $450 OR MORE TO FIX
ENGINE IS BURNING OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. I HAVE TO FILL UP THE ENGINE WITH OIL TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING, EVERY 2 WEEKS. WHEN THE ENGINE USES UP THAT OIL, IT STALLS MULTIPLE OF TIMES UNTIL I CAN DRIVE IT TO AN AUTOSHOP.
THE TRUNK GOES CRAZY POPPING OPEN OVER AND OVER AND THE ONLY WAY TO CLOSE IT AND TO KEEP IT SHUT IS TO HAVE YOUR CAR IN DRIVE OR REVERSE WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SET WHICH IS NOT SAFE AT ALL ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR!
VEHICLE IS BURNING OIL WAY TO FAST. I GET MY OIL CHANGES FREQUENTLY AND HAVE TO KEEP A BIG BOTTLE IN THE CAR AS EXTRA. THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVING AND JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF IN MOTION. WHEN I ADD MORE OIL THAT CAR CUTS BACK ON. I DON'T HAVE ANY OIL SPOTS WHEN I PARK MY VEHICLE SO I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE THE OIL IS GOING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ARE ON. I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THIS IS AN ISSUE I HAD SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I'M COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED WITH HOW DANGEROUS THIS CAR IS. THIS PROBLEM IS STILL CURRENT TIL THIS DAY 6/6/2018.
I'LL BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND IT WILL ACT LIKE IT WANTS TO DOWNSHIFT AND FORWARD MOMENTUM IS LOST FOR A FEW SECONDS FORWARD MOMENTUM IS LOST FOR A FEW SECONDS AND CLICKING NOISES ARE HER DURING THIS PROCESS
CAR STALLS, JERKS, OR COMPLETELY STOPS. DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAYS OR AT HIGH SPEEDS. CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON HIGHWAY.
BRAKE LINES POPPED LEAKING FLUID ON GROUND AND THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR HAS BEEN ON FOR A LONG TIME AND I KEEP GETTING TOLD THAT I JUST NEED TO DRIVE IT
I PARKED THE CAR WENT INTO A STORE. CAME OUT AND OPENED THE DOOR AND THE CAR WENT UP IN FLAMES. *DT PHOTOS ATTACHED UPDATED 11/02/18*JB
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY ROESCH CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, RAM (200 WEST GRAND AVENUE, ELMHURST, IL 60126, 630-834-8000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS LOW. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENGINE OIL MIGHT BE RELEASING THROUGH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND THAT THE 2.4 LITER ENGINE WAS KNOWN TO BE FAULTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE MAY STALL IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,600.
2015 DODGE DART SXT WITH 2.4L AUTOAMTIC STALLS WITHIN HALF MILE OF START-UP. IT TAKES QUITE A LONG TIME FOR STARTER CRANKING FOR IT TO RESTART. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF COLD WEATHER OR WARM. 99000 MILES
DRIVING TO WORK ON INTERSTATE 696 DRIVING THROUGH ROYAL OAK WEST BOUND, THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF, AND SHOWS ON THE DASH ENGINE TROUBLE AND ELECTRIC SYMBOL AS WELL, LUCKY I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO GET OVER, BUT IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I GOT THE CAR , DEALER STATES THEY FIXED IT 3 TIMES STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I HAVE ALL THE PAPERS WORK SINCE IT STARTED AT 5000 MILES.
EMERGENCY BRAKES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. CAN STILL DIVE IT WHEN EMERGENCY BRAKES ARE APPLIED AS IF THEY'RE NOT EVEN ON..
CAR SUDDENLY WENT INTO NEUTRAL , WHILE IN PARKING LOT GOING 10 MPH. , SHIFTER COULD NOT MOVE IT , KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION KEY FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AND WAS STUCK IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,400.
OUR 2015 DODGE DART HAS ONLY 18,700 MILES ON IT AND TWICE IN THE LAST 10 MONTHS WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IN ORDER TO SHIFT GEARS AND THE PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2017, THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED AT NO COST TO US. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN ON APRIL 28, 2018, SAME SCENARIO - DRIVING ON FREEWAY, TRIED TO SHIFT - AND WE ARE TOLD THE CLUTCH KIT AND THROW OUT BEARING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND DODGE IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR IT, SAYING IT IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AND BECAUSE IT IS DIFFERENT PARTS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OF WORK IN AUGUST 2017. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES AND EVEN A COUPLE OF LAWSUITS. EVEN IF REPAIRED AGAIN, I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR OUTSIDE OF CITY STREETS. DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE NOR DO THEY SAY THAT MY CAR IS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH THAT THEY ISSUED IN 2016.
JUST NOTICED THAT THE YOKOHAMA 225/40 R18 AVID S34 TIRES ON MY 2015 DODGE DART HAVE SPLIT SIDE WALLS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000 MILES. I HAD THE CAR IN THREE TIMES FOR THE TIRES LOOSING AIR. I'VE READ THAT YOKOHAMA HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS ON THIS MODEL TIRE FOR YEARS WITH MANY DIFFERENT SIZES BUT HAVE ONLY RECALLED ONE SIZE. I'M TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER 05-02.
THERE SEEMS TO BE ISSUE WITH DODGE, CHRYSLER VEHICLES WHERE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH MY DAD CHRYSLER 300, MY MOM DODGE DURANGO AND NOW MY DODGE DART AND IT APPEARS IT IS THE ALTERNATOR KILLING THE BATTERY. IT IS DANGEROUS TO PUT MY CAR ON THE ROAD AS IT CAN SHUT OFF ANY GIVEN TIME AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE.
I HAD JUST CAME HOME AND RAN INTO MY HOUSE TO GRAB SOMETHING AND IMMEDIATELY RETURNED BACK TO THE CAR AND WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE THE LIGHT ON THE GEAR SHIFT FOR NEUTRAL LIT UP. THE CAR IS NOW STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION DUE TO IT BEING IN NEUTRAL. WE HAVE CALLED SEVERAL NUMBERS FOR DODGE AND THEY ARE TELLING US THAT THE CAR IS NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE THE VIN IS NOT SHOWING UP WITH A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE SIGHT SHOWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT ISSUE FOR 2011 - 2015 DODGE DARTS. WE NEED ASSISTANCE WITH THIS BECAUSE IF THEY KNOW THESE CARS HAVE THIS ISSUE THERE IS NO WAY THEY SHOULD BE TELLING US THAT THIS CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. PLEASE HELP.
MY DODGE DART HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. IT WILL START JERKING LIKE YOU'RE DRIVING A STANDARD AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IT. THE ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A COUPLE OTHER LIGHTS WILL ALL COME ON. WHEN IT DOES THIS THERE ARE TIMES THAT YOU CAN PRESS THE HAD PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT DOES NOTHING. THEN THE CAR STARTED SAYING TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION AND WHEN YOU SHIFTED INTO CERTAIN GEARS IT WOULD SAY THE GEAR WAS UNAVAILABLE AND YOU NEED TO SHIFT TO DRIVE OR REVERSE. AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING I FOUND THAT MY FUSE BOX, NEXT TO MY BATTERY, LOOKS LIKE SEVERAL OF THE FUSES HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE CAR HASN'T GONE UP IN FLAMES. AREN'T FUSES SUPPOSED TO BREAK WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HASTENS
THE TRUNK POPS OPENS WITHOUT WARNING. THREE TIMES NOW MY TRUNK HAS OPENED WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS, I SUDDENLY HAVE NO REAR VISION. THIS MEANS I HAVE TO PULL OVER ON A FREEWAY WITH NO REAR VISION, PARK, AND GET OUT WITH CARS WHIZZING BY ME TO CLOSE THE TRUNK. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DATES SO JUST PICKED A DATE BELOW. THE GLASSES CASE (BETWEEN THE TWO FRONT SEATS OVER THE WINDSHIELD) HAS OPENED WITHOUT WARNING AND DROPPED A PAIR OF SUN GLASSES ONTO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT STARTLED AND DISTRACTED ME. I HAVE REPORTED THIS THE DEALER WHO CAN "FIND NOTHING" WRONG. HEGGS AUTO WHICH WAS SUPERSTITION SPRINGS AUTO, SOLD IT TO ME. 480-293-0219 THE CAR HAS A MYRIAD OF "OTHER ISSUES" THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY SAFETY RELATED BUT PARTS ARE FAILING WELL BEFORE THEY SHOULD.
WHEN I DRIVE AND BRAKE THE CAR CUTS OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND ITS HARD TO START BACK UP IM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET
ENGINE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING. APPEARS TO BE SENSOR DETECTING LOW OIL AND RATHER THAN TRIGGERING THE MIL OR A LOW OIL INDICATOR, IT SHUTS THE ENGINE DOWN. HAPPENED TO MY WIFE WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. ENGINE POWER LOSS, AND ALSO LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, RADIO CONTINUED PLAYING, AND LIGHTS KEPT WORKING SO IT WASN'T A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL POWER LOSS BUT A CONTROLLED ENGINE SHUTDOWN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, IT STARTED TO JERK VIOLENTLY AND THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE GEAR INTO DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. ALSO, THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS OUT OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000. *TT *JS
I HAVE A 2015 DODGE DART SE AND ITS BEEN NOTHING BUT ISSUES! IN 2016 I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH AND ALL SUDDEN MY [XXX] CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY! I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY TURN IT BACK ON AND SHIFT INTO 4TH GEAR BECAUSE MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN WHILE AND I HAD TO PULL OVER! IM SO SICK OF THIS MODEL AND AFTER READING ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES ITS JUST RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS! I GOT IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED OKAY AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES. SO CARS JUST TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON?! FAST FORWARD TO 2017, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I TAKE IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN KILLEEN TX AND I FIND OUT IT WAS THE THERMOSTAT AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND THAT I COULD DRIVE TO ALASKA AND BACK WITH NO ISSUES. SO I LEAVE AND A DAY LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT IS GONE LIKE IT WAS NEVER THERE. AND HERE IT IS 2018 AND THE [XXX] ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AGAIN. I TAKE IT TO FIRESTONE ON BASE AND GUESS WHAT THE [XXX] THEY TELL ME?! YOU GUESSED RIGHT! THE [XXX] THERMOSTAT. AT THIS POINT I'M JUST PISSED AND FRUSTRATED AND THEY TELL ME I'M LOOKING AT A $500 FIX AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE DODGE DART! WHY WAS I NOT TOLD THIS WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED! OH AND IT GETS BETTER. ON 25MARCH2018 I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60MPH AND YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED....DING DING DING RIGHT AGAIN! MY [XXX] PIECE OF [XXX] DODGE DART TURNS THE [XXX] OFF! I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A [XXX] RECALL OR NOT BUT I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY DODGE DART OWNER WHO IS HAVING THIS ISSUE AND I SHOULD'VE BEEN TOLD ABOUT THESE DANGEROUS ASS PROBLEMS BEFORE I POURED MY HARD EARNED MONEY INTO A [XXX] DEATHTRAP. I'M CALLING THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE [XXX] NEEDS TO HAPPEN. I'M NOT TRYING TO DIE LET ALONE HAVE MY BABIES IN THE [XXX] CAR AND SOMETHING HAPPEN. DO NOT PURCHASE ANY DODGE DARTS IF YOU WANT TO LIVE! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT OF AN PARKING SPACE THAT WAS ANGLED UP AND WHILE DOING THAT I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR 30 MINUTES. ALL I COULD HEAR WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKES WAS AIR. IT WOULD NOT WORK UNLESS PUTTING EXTREME PRESSURE ON IT.
I GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT IN THE CITY OF SIMI VALLEY, CA. BETWEEN FIRST ST. AND ARCANE ST. GOING HOME ON SUNDAY 2/25/2018 AND THE AIR BAG NEVER CAME OUT AND I ENDED IT P WITH A SWOLLEN LIPS AND NECK/BACK PAIN DUE TO THE IMPACT RECEIVED AT THE TIME OF ME HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL AS I DID NOT HAD ANY PROTECTION. AT THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THE STOP LIGHT WAS RED AND THERE WAS AN SUV IN FROM OF ME AND MYSELF WAITING FOR THE STOP LIGHT TO TURN GREEN WHEN THE ONLY THING I FELT WAS THE IMPACT FULL SPEED FROM BEHIND THAT ME BEEN THE MIDDLE CAR END IT UP HITTING THE CAR IN FROM OF ME. I CANT EVEN IMAGINE THAT MY KIDS WHERE IN THERE. AS YOU NOTICE THE ENTIRE TRUNK WAS PUSHED INTO THE BACK SEATS. I HAVE ATTACHED THE PICTURES OF MY PERSON, THE CAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL.
THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, WHAT-SO-EVER. MY VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION SO WITHOUT A WORKING EMERGENCY BRAKE, I CANNOT PARK THE CAR ON ANY SORT INCLINE. I'VE SEEN ON NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUMS THAT MANY DODGE DART OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THEIR EMERGENCY BRAKES AS WELL, IN PARTICULAR, DODGE DART VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. BASED ON FEEDBACK I'VE READ ON OTHER FORUMS, IT SEEMS THAT THE MANUFACTURER DIDN'T PROPERLY INSTALL THE CABLE THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ATTACHED TOO. I HAD ONE INSTANCE WHERE MY VEHICLE ALMOST ROLLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE PARKING BRAKE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAD ANOTHER INSTANCE WHERE I HAD PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE IN A CROWDED SHOPPING CENTER WITH PEDESTRIANS PASSING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT WHERE THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACK. I BARELY HAVE OVER 45,000 MILES AND I'VE OWNED CARS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS SINCE I STARTED DRIVING OVER 20 YEARS AGO. THIS IS THE FIRST INSTANCE I'VE EVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK, AND I'VE DRIVEN CARS THAT WERE MUCH OLDER THAN THE ONE I OWN NOW. IT SEEMS THIS IS A MAJOR FLAW IN THE 2015 DODGE DART THAT CHRYSLER FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA CAN TAKE ACTION UPON CHRYSLER TO AVOID ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE INJURIES DUE TO THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER DIDN'T PROPERLY ATTACH THE CABLES IN THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKES FOR THE 2015 MANUAL DODGE DART MODELS.
WHEN DRIVING THE DART, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE IN DRIVE. THE DEALER IS SAYING THAT IT IS A SAFETY SWITCH FOR LOW OIL. HOWEVER THERE IS NO OIL LIGHT TURNING ON ON THE DASH BOARD AND THERE IS OIL LIFE REMAINING ON THE DIGITAL DISPLAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO RESOLVE. THE DEALER HAS EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO SAY "WELL, YOU BOUGHT A DODGE DART". WHEN WE PURCHASED THE DART, WE BOUGHT THE MAINTENANCE PACKAGE, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES. WE USE THIS PACKAGE ALL THE TIME AND THERE WOULD BE NO EXCUSE TO BE LOW ON OIL THAT FAST IN A NEWER VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED A HALF DOZEN TIMES, SPEEDS VARYING FROM DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT (5-10MPH) , TO DOWN A STREET(35-45MPH) THANKFULLY NEVER ON A HIGHWAY. WE ARE FEARFUL FOR THE DAY THIS HAPPENS WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH DAIMLER CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE NOT HELPED. ONE MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME THIS HAPPENS MORE OFTEN THAT YOU WOULD THINK. BUT STILL NO RESOLVE.
HEN THE CAR WAS 10 DAYS OLD I GOT HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND IT WAS BAD BUSTED MY FACE UP . THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOIED A TREE FAILON THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE AIRBAGS NERER DEPLOIRD. THEN I RAN IN A TREE TO KEEP FROM HITTING A TREE ANDAIRBAGS STILL DIDNT DEPLOY. CAN YOU TELL ME WHY THEY HAVENT DEPLOY . THE FIRST ACCEDENT WAS BAD TOOK THEM 3 OR FOR MONTHS TO FIX IT. WHY ISTHIS CAR STILL ON THE ROAD?
MY CAR STALLS FREQUENTLY AND THE STEREO SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING POWERS DOWN. IT DOES IT WHEN DRIVING AS WELL. IT ALSO SMELLS LIKE WIRES ARE BURNING WHEN THIS HAPPENS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED HARD AND MADE A LOUD NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST. THE CONTACT CALLED CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (24 1020 BELMONT ST, BROCKTON, MA 02301) WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE, AND THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION, BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
WHEN BRAKING, BRAKES FEELS HARD AND REQUIRE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE FORCE TO ACTIVATE. A HISSING SOUND IS OCCURRING AND BRAKE FORCE WILL OFTEN NOT ENGAGE UNTIL HALFWAY INTO THE PETAL. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED BY MY MECHANIC, BUT ACCORDING TO HIM AND SOME RESEARCH I'VE DONE ONLINE, THIS SEEMS EXACTLY LIKE AN ISSUE WITH THE DODGE DART 2013 RECALL FOR THE SAME PART. AS TAKEN FROM DODGE'S SITE: THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE ENGINE OIL MIGRATION FROM THE VACUUM PUMP, THROUGH THE VACUUM SUPPLY TUBE, AND INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. PROLONGED BRAKE BOOSTER DIAPHRAGM EXPOSURE TO ENGINE OIL COULD CAUSE THE DIAPHRAGM TO FAIL. THIS COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST AND/OR AN AIR LEAKING SOUND. A LOSS OF BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST COULD REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO APPLY ADDITIONAL BRAKE PEDAL FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE LACK OF BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST COULD CHANGE THE BRAKING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. I'M PUTTING IN THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE HOPE TO AVOID OTHERS FROM ACCIDENTS AND ULTIMATELY TO HOPE TO GET A REFUND FROM THE SERVICE AND PARTS I HAD TO GET INTO MY CURRENT CAR. I RECOGNIZE THAT THE DOT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR A REFUND BUT WOULD BE INSTRUMENTAL IN HAVING DODGE ISSUE A RECALL IF ENOUGH OTHER 2015 DODGE DART OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS AS WELL. THANK YOU
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR TO SPECIFY WHEN THE OIL WAS LOW. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STALLED MORE THAN ONCE AND THE FAILURE WAS PROGRESSING INTERMITTENTLY. THE OWNER'S MANUAL HAD SPECIFIC GUIDELINES THAT WERE IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH WHAT THE CONTACT WAS EXPERIENCING. THE DEALER (MCKAY'S DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT, 2020 FRONTAGE RD S, WAITE PARK, MN 56387, (320) 252-7170) PROVIDED AN OIL CHANGE, INDICATED THAT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS NEEDED, AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO CHECK THE OIL LEVELS EVERY 500 MILES. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THIS WAS NOT A PERMANENT SOLUTION AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE LEVELS WERE LOW. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT *TR
DRIVING CAR AT 25 MPH AND IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT ANY CLEAR INDICATION WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. AFTER 10 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED AND WAS DRIVEN HOME. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED LOW OIL COULD BE THE PROBLEM. OIL WAS CHECKED AND NOTED THAT IT WAS VERY LOW; THERE HAD BEEN NO INDICATION THAT THE CAR HAD LOW OIL. WE CALLED THE DEALER TO SET UP AN OIL CHANGE APPOINTMENT AND DESCRIBE THE STALLING PROBLEM AND THEY SAID "YOU MUST HAVE A DART", LIKE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES...... WEREN'T LOW OIL INDICATORS INVENTED IN THE 70'S?
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT AND HAD IT READ. SAID IT WAS LOW ON COOLANT, PUT COOLANT IN AFTER CAR WAS NOT HOT AND LIGHT CONTINUED TO STAY ON AND ALL READ UP THE SAME, LOW COOLANT, BUT IT WASN'T. APPARENTLY IT WAS THE THERMOSTAT. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THESE FAULTY THINGS? I HAVE SEEN MORE PEOPLE REPORTING PROBLEMS FOR THESE AND THERE IS STILL NO RECALL!!! I WILL NEVER OWN ANYTHING CHRYSLER MADE AGAIN, THEY NEVER STAND BEHIND THEIR MISTAKES, BUT EXPECT THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES TO PAY A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE FIXED.
I WAS DRIVING AND CAME TO A 4 WAY STOP SIGN, AFTER COMPLETELY STOPPING I PROCEEDED TO PULL OFF. AS I BEGAN TO TURN THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TREMENDOUSLY AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE RED BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR BACK UP UNTIL ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES LATER. EVERY DAY FOLLOWING THIS DAY, THE CAR BEGAN TO START UP AND STOP AFTER GOING ONLY A FEW FEET WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON.
WHETHER I AM DRIVING MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY AND STOPPED W/TRAFFIC OR ON A CITY STREET AT STOP LIGHT/SIGN AND MY FOOT IS ON THE BREAK, THE CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN. I DID TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC TODAY 1/15/18 WHO PUT IT ON DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND A PROBLEM WAS DETECTED WITH CODE P2122 THROTTLE/POSITION SENSOR/SWITCH"D" CIRCUIT LOW INPUT. MECHANIC SAID I SHOULD CHECK FOR ANY SAFETY RECALLS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ELECTRONICS AND GAUGES SUDDENLY TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FRIENDLY DODGE (1395 NEWLANDS DR, FRIENDLY, NV) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THERMOSTAT WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE THERMOSTAT WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
VEHICLE HAS SCARING ON THE CYLINDER WALLS THAT IS SOAKING UP OIL AND CAUSING A EXCESSIVE OIL LOSS, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN WHEN TAKING A CORNER AND NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD A FEW TIMES NOT ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN ME HAVING TO JUMP START IT TO BE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2.4L TIGERSHARK ENGINES. I AM AFRAID I WILL BE STRANDED ON A BUSY STREET AND THE POSSIBILITY TO BE HIT. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE SELLING DEALERSHIP AND IS TELLING ME THAT CHRYSLER IS DENYING THE CLAIM FOR A ENGINE REPLACEMENT, THEY ARE TELLING THE TECH TO GIVE ME AN OIL CHANGE AND SEND ME ON MY WAY.
MY CAR STALLS ON OCCASIONS IN ADDITION TO CUTTING OFF AND ALSO SHAKES WHEN SITTING STILL MY ENGINE LIGHTS STAYS ON
I WAS STOPPED AT A 4WAY STOP AND WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD THE CAR STALLED ON ME AND DID NOT MOVE. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES, LET GO AND PRESSED ON THE GAS AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME THE DASH READ "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE, SWITCH TO NEUTRAL AND THEN TO DRIVE OR REVERSE." I DID THAT BUT IT STILL STALLED ON ME AND THEN THE DASH READ "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. AFTER ONE MORE TRY I MANAGED TO GET IT TO MOVE SO I JUST PARKED IT IN AN EMPTY PARKING SLOT AND CALLED MY DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AS I TYPE THIS I'M AWAITING A CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF MY DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN TELL ME WHAT WENT WRONG. I HOPE IT CAN BE FIXED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MUSSELMAN'S DODGE (5717 BALTIMORE NATIONAL PIKE, CATONSVILLE, MD 21228) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AFTER A COUPLE TRIES OF RESTARTING IT IT WILL FINALLY START AND DRIVE OK . BUT IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND IS DANGEROUS WHAT IF THIS HAPPEN ON EXPRESS WAY . SOMEONE CAN DIE FROM THIS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE HANDLED
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY WITH MY WIFE, I SEEN SPARKS IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR. UPON PULLING OVER AND CHECKING THE TIRES(FIGURED A TIRE BLEW OUT AND WE WERE RIDING ON A RIM) I NOTICED A GLOWING COMING FROM UNDER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. BY THE TIME I GOT MY WIFE AND OUR DOG OUT OF THE CAR SMOKE WAS COMING INTO THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED EMERGENCY BY THE TIME I GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE DISPATCHER THE CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED. CHRYSLER DID AN "INVESTIGATION AND TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FIRE. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHERS WITH THE SAME RESULT AS OUR CAR.
TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND THE CAR RPM REVVED UP LIKE I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND A FEW LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH THEN THE WHOLE CAR SHUT OFF I HAD TO FIGHT TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BC O LOST POWER STEERING AND THE CARE WOULD CRANK BACK UP I TOOK THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP IN WEIDEN GERMANY AND THEY SAID THEY REST THE COMPUTER
MY BRAKES STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY, I TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND IT IS THE POWER BOOSTER AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE 2013 & 2014 HAD RECALLS FOR SO WHY NOT THE 2015, MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME . IT WAS HARD TO STOP MY CAR AND A SCARY SITUATION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SAFFORD CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT OF WINCHESTER (1659 BERRYVILLE PIKE, WINCHESTER, VA 22603 (540) 667-5532), BUT NO DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND AND THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BURNED OFF OIL AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.
TAKATA RECALL WHILE DIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH I WAS TAKING A LEFT TURN INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN CAUSING ME TO STRIKE MY DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL ON THE CURB DISABLING MY VEHICLE. THE MOTOR STILL CONTINUED TO REV AT A HIGH RPM FOR 10-15 SECONDS AFTER IMPACT WITHOUT THE ACCELERATOR BEING TOUCHED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2015 DODGE DART ON THE ROAD AND IT COMPLETELY STALLED ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT THEN STARTED UP AGAIN AND DROVE. CAR WOULD NOT START AT SCHOOL UNTIL MANY TRIES. CAR 1 DAY LATER, 09202017, STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND AND THANK GOD NO CARS WERE BEHIND HIM FOR A REAR END ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION ! DEALER INDICATED THE CAR WAS LOW ON OIL (ONLY 25% OIL LEFT). NO ENGINE OIL LIGHT HAS COME ON TO EVER WARN US. ADDITIONALLY, THE DODGE DART FORM WEBSITE INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DART'S 2.4L ENGINE CONSUMING 1 QUART OR MORE EVERY 2,000 MILES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A NEW CAR TO BURN THIS MUCH OIL AND CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF PROTECTION WHILE ON A FREEWAY OR BUSY ROAD WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. DEALERS ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO SAY AND DON'T INVESTIGATE THIS ENGINE PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE HELP THIS COMMUNITY OF CAR OWNERS BEFORE ACCIDENTS OCCUR AND LOSS OF VEHICLE ENGINES AT GREAT EXPENSE TO OWNER. MANY PEOPLE ON THE MENTIONED FORUM ALSO INDICATE THEIR OIL LOW LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON TO WARN THEM BEFORE THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF "WHILE DRIVING"
ON MARCH 31, 2017, I HIT A CURB WITH THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE OF MY VEHICLE DAMAGING PARTS OF THE SUSPENSION, INCLUDING THE CONTROL ARM, AS WELL AS THE BODY. AT THE TIME, I ASSUMED THAT WHEN I HIT THE CURB, MY WHEEL WAS TURNED, WHICH CAUSED THE DAMAGE TO THE SUSPENSION. CAR WAS REPAIRED. AT TIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE A CLUNKING NOISE WHILE TURNING LEFT OR WHEN ACCELERATING. ALSO AT TIMES, AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE. ON AUGUST 17, 2017, I WAS STOPPED TO YIELD FOR A VEHICLE CROSSING A ONE LANE BRIDGE. THIS BRIDGE WAS FLAT AND SMOOTH, WITH A CURVE AROUND TO THE LEFT IN MY DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. I STARTED MOVING TO GO OVER THE BRIDGE AND WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 5-10 M.P.H., AS I APPROACHED THE LEFT CURVE, I STARTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY LEFT IN ANTICIPATION OF THE CURVE. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME NON RESPONSIVE AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE KEPT GOING LEFT, CAUSING ME TO IMPACT A CURB AND GUARD RAIL, AGAIN ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT. THE BODY SHOP SAID I HAD TO HAVE HIT SOMETHING TO SNAP THE BRAND NEW CONTROL ARM. I HIT NOTHING PRIOR TO IMPACT WITH THE CURB AND GUARD RAIL. THERE IS MINIMAL BODY DAMAGE BUT THE CONTROL ARM IS SNAPPED. I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS SOME TYPE OF POSSIBLE DEFECT WITH THE CONTROL ARM THAT WOULD CAUSE IT TO FRACTURE AND SNAP, LEADING TO MY LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND COLLISION. I HAVE READ WHERE DEFECTIVE CONTROL ARMS HAVE BEEN NOTED ON OTHER DODGE VEHICLES.
BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS & BALLASTS WENT BAD. IT'S GOING TO COST ME $990 TO HAVE REPAIR. I WAS ASKED IF I WANTED THEM FIXED...LIKE IF I HAD CHOOSE? DON'T YOU NEED LIGHTS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT? A-HOLES A COMPLIANT HAS BEEN FILED WITH DODGE CORP OFFICE (#32146428). THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO CALL (8/8/17) AND NEVER DID SO FAR.
THIS CAR SUDDENLY STALLS AND DIE NOW ALL THE TIME EVEN WHILE DRIVING IN HIGHWAY, TOOK IT TO MANUFACTURE DEALERSHIP THEY MADE DIOGNOSTIC SAYING NOTHING WRONG BUT, THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER RESOLVE. SEARCHING THE WEB I NOTICE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE BEEN HAVING SAME ISSUES AS MINE WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THANK YOU

NO OIL LIGHT ON, NO ENGINE LIGHT, AND IT STALLED. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH OIL CONSUMPTION WITH THE 2.4 ENGINE. MY CAR DIED AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND STARTING A TURN. Y CAR STALLED OUT TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS VERY DANGEROUS. BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, MUSIC CONTINUED, BUT ENGINGE JUST DIED. THE STEERING WHEEL FROZE (NO MORE POWER STEERING), AND I COULDN'T PRESS MY BRAKE DOWN, IT JUST SAT THERE IN THE ROAD.

TAKATA RECALL THE BREAKS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AND NOW WHEN I PUSH THE BREAKES IT LEAKS AIR AND R VERY HARD TO PUSH. AND WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE CAR JERKS CAN CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT CAR WILL TAKE A LONGER TIME TO STOP BUT ALOT OF PRESSURE NEEDS TO BE KEPT SO CAR WILL STAY AT A COMPLETE STOP
THE VEHICLE SHIFTS IMPROPERLY AND WHEN STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR IT COULD EITHER SLOWLY GET UP TO DESIRED SPEED OR THE ENGINE DOES NOT INITIALLY RESPOND BUT WILL THEN GET TO A HIGH RPM AND THERE IS A SURGE IN POWER AND YOU ARE PROPELLED FORWARD. IN ADDITION TO THIS THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN BRAKING. THE ENGINE STARTS TO STUTTER AND FAILS WHEN RETURNING TO A STOP BUT WILL EITHER GET BACK UP AND RUNNING IF YOU DON'T STOP ENTIRELY OR IT WILL STALL WHICH WILL THEN REQUIRE YOU TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE STREET AND WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY HAS HAPPENED AS WELL
NOV 2016, LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING, WENT INTO NEUTRAL, WOULD START A FEW MINUTES LATER, BUT LOSS OF POWER AGAIN. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP & THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE. FEB 2017 KEY STOPPED WORKING, CHANGED BATTERY STILL DIDN'T WORK, CHANGED IT AGAIN & IT WORKED. APRIL 6, 2017 LOSS OF POWER COMPLETED DIED, I COULD NOT JUMP IT, COULD NOT LOCK MY DOORS, COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. PICKED UP CAR FROM DEALERSHIP ON APRIL 10, THEY SAID THAT THEY CHANGED THE BATTERY. WHILE STILL THERE PICKING UP MY CAR, MY BLINKER LIGHTS BLEW OUT, NOTIFICATION ON THE SCREEN SAYS RIGHT & LEFT BLINKER LIGHT OUT. THEY SWITCHED OUT THE BULBS. GOT IT HOME & NOTIFICATION SAID LOW BEAM LIGHTS OUT. THE NEXT MORNING HAD NO LIGHTS. TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TOMORROW. I AM FORCING THEM TO LOOK AT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM I AM CLOSE TO MY 36000 MILE WARRANTY.
WELL FOR STARTERS. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FAULTY THERMOSTAT. I WENT AND HAD IT REPLACED AND NOW EVER SINCE I GOT THAT REPLACED I NOTICED MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE FLUCTUATIONS. IT HAS PLENTY OF FLUID INSIDE THE RADIATOR SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS. I STARTED TO NOTICE IT EVERY TIME WHEN I'M PARKED IN ONE PLACE. I NEED THIS PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED RIGHT AWAY.
THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE OUT OF THE BLUE BEGAN TO FORM A HUGE BUBBLE THEN IT EXPLODED AFTER I MADE IT HOME. THE TIRE BRAND NAME IS KUMHO SOLIS. *TR
2015 DODGE DART CANNOT BE SHIFTED FROM PARK.
BURNING OIL EVER SINCE WE BOUGHT IT, CONSTANTLY HAVING TO ADD OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS WITHIN SPECS. CONTACTED CHRYLSER CARE ABOUT ISSUES AS WELL. STILL HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. VERY DISAPPOINTED, A NEW CAR SHOULD NOT BURN/CONSUME 1 TO 2 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES.
I HAVE DRIVEN MY 2015 DODGE DART WITHOUT ISSUE TILL 2/15/17. IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WIFE DRIVING THE INTERSTATE ON I40. THE FOLLOWING DAY IT DIED AND MY FATHER IN LAW HAD TO JUMP THE VEHICLE OFF TO GET IT GOING. TODAY, (2/17/17), I DECIDED TO DRIVE THE CAR TO WORK BECAUSE MY COMMUTE IS SHORTER AND MUCH LESS DANGEROUS. I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND DROVE TO THE END OF THE ROAD TILL I GOT TO THE MAIN STREET IN OUR HOMETOWN, AND IT DIED THANKFULLY BEFORE I GOT ON THAT STREET. THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY STOPS. STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. ALL ELECTRONICS IN VEHICLE STOP. BRAKING IS SLIGHTLY DELAYED. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN TOWN AND THEY SAID TO CHECK THE OIL. WE DID AND HAD THEM CHANGE IT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS HIGHWAY DRIVING WHERE PEOPLE DRIVE 60+ MPH AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER INTO THE SHOULDER.

MY CAR KEEPS CUTTING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE BATTER LIGHT COMES ON WITHOUT ANY WARNING. AFTER THE BATTER LIGHT COMES ON THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS STEER, THE CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN, I CAN'T EXCEL AT ALL, RAIDO AND ALL LIGHTS CUT OFF AS WELL. ONCE THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, I'LL START IT BACK UP SOMETIMES IT'LL START RIGHT BACK UP, OR I'LL HAVE TO HOLD THE KEY DOWN A FEW SECONDS FOR IT TO START. THE CAR HAVE STOPPED ON ME WHILE DRIVING MOVE THAN 5 TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE FIRST FEW TIME THEY SAID AFTER THEY RAN ALL OF THE TEST THEY COULDN'T GET THE VEHICLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER TIME THEY ASKED COULD THEY KEEP THE VEHICLE OVER NIGHT AND HAVE A MECHANIC DRIVE THE CAR HOME AND BACK TO WORK. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WENT TO GO PICK UP MY VEHICLE THEY SAID THEY KINDA-SORTA GOT THE CAR TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THOSE WERE THERE EXACT WORDS. THEN THEY PUT A MONITOR IN MY CAR THEY TOLD ME TO PRESS THE BUTTON WHILE I WAS DRIVING IF THE CAR WAS TO GO OUT SO THEY CAN RECORD THE PROBLEM. THE MONITOR WAS IN MY CAR FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND MY CAR DIDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THEY TOOK THE MONITOR OUT MY CAR CUT OFF ON ME AGAIN AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND THEY RAN THE SAME TEST AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. ANOTHER TIME MY CAR WENT OFF I TOOM IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT MY CAR WAS HALFWAY EMPTY ON OIL AND THEY'RE TELLING ME THAT MY CAR IS CUTTING OFF BECAUSE IT NEEDS OIL AND THEY WERE GOING TO MONITOR THE OIL. SO THEY SENT ME BACK ON THE ROAD AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK WHEN MY CAR GOT TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MILES THEY HAD WROTE DOWN , WHEN MY CAR GOT TO THAT AMOUNT OF MILES THAT THEY HAVE WROTE DOWN I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I TOLD HIM TO TELL ME IF I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY TOLD ME I DIDNT. THE CAR CUT OFF WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON TH
ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY CAR RANDOMLY CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING THROUGH MY COMPLEX AND FLASHED THE BATTERY LIGHT. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED & WAS TOLD IT'S GOOD. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH A MECHANIC IN MY WARRANTY NETWORK, THEY REFERRED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN TELL ME UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CAR DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO WITHOUT A DIAGNOSIS. SO, NOW I KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR RANDOMLY STALLING, BUT NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT UNTIL A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OR IT RANDOMLY STOPS AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME AND SOMEONE CRASHES INTO ME AND POTENTIALLY KILLS ME. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
DODGE DART GT 2015 SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS ONLY A DINGING NOISE. ONLY 4200 MILES ON CAR THE FIRST TIME. SHUT OFF 8 DIFFERENT TIMES SENSE THEN. TOOK IT TO DEALER WAS TOLD OUT OF OIL. CAR WOULD SHUT OFF TURNING OR STOPPING FAST. GOT OIL CHANGE FROM DEALER. LESS THAN 4000 MILES LATER SAME THING, CAR SHUT OFF AND RADIO STILL ON AND DASH LIGHTS WORKING ONE DING NOISE. TURNED ONTO BUSY ROAD AND DART SHUT OFF, WAS SCARY FOR A FEW MINUTES FAST TRAFFIC COMING FROM BEHIND, HAD TO GET OFF ROAD QUICK. OIL NOT LEAKING IN DRIVEWAY. TECH AT DEALER SAID HE SAW THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND TOLD ME TO WATCH MY ENGINE. CAR HAS NEVER MAID TO A 5000 MILE OIL CHANGE WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF. ONE TIME SHUT OFF AFTER ONLY 2540 MILES SENSE LAST OIL CHANGE. DEALER FOUND NO SIGNS OF LEAKS OR SIGNS OF OIL BURNING UP. THE 7TH OIL CHANGE THEY REPROGRAMMED THE OIL SENSOR. LOSING ALL MY FREE OIL CHANGES TO QUICKLY. NOW I'M 750 MILES FROM DUE OIL CHANGE AND SHUT OFF AGAIN. I CHECKED OIL STICK - BONE DRY. PUT 2 QUARTS OIL ( O2 20W) IN , THAT GOT ME TO THE BOTTOM OF LOW MARK ON STICK. CAR RUNNING OK TO GET TO DEALER AGAIN.ALSO CHECKED OIL GAGE IN CAR, SAID:43% OIL LIFE REMAINING. THAT WAS A LIE. OIL IS ALWAYS VERY LOW AND ENGINE HOT BUT NOT OVERHEATING. OIL SHOULD BE DIRTY AND MAYBE A LITTLE LOW BUT NOT VERY VERY LOW. I WANT TO MAKE THE CAR LAST 150 TO 200 THOUSAND MILES WITH GOOD CARE. WORRIED ENGINE WILL NOT EVEN GET CLOSE. GOT EXTENDED WARRANTY. CAR ENGINE GONNA BLOW UP BEFORE IT'S TIME AND BLAME ME. CAR SHUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING AND NO OIL, CANT GET TO 5000 MILE OIL CHANGE. HAD A 2013 DART, LOVED IT, TRADED IN FOR 2015 WITH BETTER WARRANTY. MISS OLD DART.

WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS A SNAP AND A LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR REPORT FROM DODGE, BRAKE FLUID FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED INTO THE POWER BOOSTER CAUSING LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. THIS CAR IS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR OLD AND JUST OUT OF THE WARRENTY AT 37,000 MILES AND SINCE WE BOUGHT IT WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT, DODGE WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIR COST. THE 2013 AND 2014 DODGE DARTS WERE RECALLED FOR OLI LEAKING INTO THE POWER BOOSTER, BUT THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAILED MASTER CYLINDER. I'VE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH MASTER CYLINDERS OVER THE YEARS AND ALWAYS GOT MORE THAN A YEAR OUT OF A BRAND NEW MASTER CYLINDER. MAYBE I GOT THE ONLY FLUKE DODGE DART MASTER CYLINDER PROBLEM, OR MAYBE DODGE HAS BEEN PUTTING SUB-STANDARD BRAKE PARTS ON THESE CARS FOR YEARS. I SAVED THE OLD PARTS JUST IN CASE. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE WORTH LOOKING INTO. WE NARROWLY AVOIDED A REAR-END ACCIDENT, AND SO DID THE DODGE SERVICE GUY WHEN WE BROUGHT IT IN. I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT ON THIS. THANK YOU
THE CAR IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND NOT SWITCHING GEARS FOR DRIVE. UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. PRESSING GAS PEDAL AND CAR DOES NOT MOVE IN DRIVE.

THE TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE AXLE AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARM FELL OFF CAUSING ME TO CRASH. I RAN INTO A GUARDRAIL AND IF IT WASN'T THERE, THE CAR WOULDN'T HAVE STOPPED AND I COULD POSSIBLY BE DEAD.

IT FELL OFF 3 OTHER TIMES TO. I AM FED UP WITH CHRYSLER. THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. IT IS A CASKET ON WHEELS.

I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES FROM MY DODGE DART 2015 HAVE A HUGE BULGE, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND SAID THAT WE HAVE TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIRE WHICH I WILL DO AFTER I POST THIS COMPLAIN. PEOPLE AT THE DEALER AND AT SEARS (DAYS AFTER I WENT FOR A NAIL IN ONE TIRE FROM BEHIND) SAID THE SAME TO CONTACT MANUFACTURER AND THAT IT SHOULD HAVE WARRANTY. IT IS WEIRD SINCE I NEVER EVER OVER INFLATED THE TIRES, THEY ARE ALWAYS AT THE RECOMMENDED AIR PRESSURE AND NEVER HIT SOME HUGE POT HOLE OR SOMETHING LIKE IT.
NOVEMBER 1 2015 WHILE TRAVELING ON PARKWAY 376 IN PITTSBURGH PENNSYLVANIA . I BECAME TRAPPED BEHIND A PORTION OF A TREE THAT HAD MADE IT'S WAY IN THE LANE I ENTER THE PARKWAY.

AFTER GETTING MY CAR BACK I NOTICED WHEN IT RAIN, OR SNOW THE TRUNK OF CAR WOULD GET WET. WHENEVER OPERATING THE CAR IN SPEEDS 35 MPH OR MORE , YOU COULD FEEL AIR COMING THROUGH BACKSEAT. AFTER RETURNING THE CAR TO DODGE FOR INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING TO CAUSE PROBLEM. CAR WAS INSPECTED AND PASS WITH ONLY REQUIRING 2 REAR TIRES. AUGUST 2 2016 , WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, A DRIVER DRIVING A 2005 HONDA PILOT WITH ORIGINAL GRILL , REAR ENDED THE CAR, AT THIS TIME I DROVE MY CAR HOME, IN THE MORNING I NOTICED TIRES WERE BENT OUTWARD.

UNEXPECTEDLY LOSS MOTIVE POWER RESULTED IN A CRASH.
SATURDAY JANUARY 9 2016 - HERTZ RENTAL CAR - DAYTIME LIGHT FOGGY CONDITIONS. VEHICLE HAD BEEN RUNNING SINCE 09:35 EDT WITH NO SIMILAR INCIDENT. INCIDENT 1 - DRIVING INTERSTATE 79 NB IN A DESCENDING RIGHT RIGHT TURN WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET TO MAINTAIN SPEED LIMIT. APPLIED BRAKES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CURVE DUE TO SLOWER TRAFFIC. ALL ELECTRICAL INCLUDING ENGINE QUIT OPERATING AT APPROXIMATELY 13:35 EDT. WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF ROADWAY WITHOUT TURN SIGNALS (ALSO INOP). A SHORT INVESTIGATION SHOWED THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS IN THE "OFF" POSITION. VEHICLE READILY RESTARTED WITH TRANSMISSION IN "PARK" POSITION (NOT "NEUTRAL"). INCIDENT 2 - AT APPROXIMATELY 17:25 EDT I EXITED INTERSTATE 376 EB ONTO A UPWARDLY INCLINED SURFACE ROAD WAITING AT A STOP SIGN, ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENGINE QUIT OPERATING. THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS DISCOVERED TO BE IN THE "OFF" POSITION AGAIN. VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH NO TROUBLE, WITH TRANSMISSION IN "PARK" POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO ITS VACATION DESTINATION IN BEAVER COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA AND THEN RETURNED TO ITS ORIGIN AT THE RALEIGH-DURHAM AIRPORT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT ON FRIDAY EVENING 15 JANUARY 2016. MY INVESTIGATION SUGGESTS THE COMBINATION OF THE RENTAL COMPANY TIGHTLY TYING THE TWO VEHICLE KEYS TOGETHER AND THE LOW CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE IGNITION SWITCH TO THE DRIVER'S KNEE AND THE VERY LIGHT FORCES NEEDED TO TURN THE KEY AND THE LACK OF A POSITIVE "DETENT" WHEN THE KEY IS IN ANY POSITION SEEMS TO ENCOURAGE THE DRIVER FROM ACCIDENTALLY APPLYING ENOUGH FORCE ON THE UNUSED AND HANGING KEY TO TURN THE IGNITION TO THE "OFF" POSITION. SUBSEQUENTLY I CONSCIOUSLY AVOIDED MOVING MY KNEE ANYWHERE NEAR THE LOWER DASH PANEL AND DID NOT HAVE ANOTHER OCCURRENCE OF THE TWO INCIDENTS. . THIS SEEMS TO BE SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID# 10806589.

I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR 5 MONTHS DURING THIS TIME I HAVE LOST MY JOB HAD TO RELOCATE MY FAMILY TO A SMALLER HOME AND NOW HAVE A CREDIT SCORE OF 394 WHEN 6 MONTHS AGO IT WAS A 720. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE STOPPED BECAUSE THEY ARE CARELESS INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE WELL BEING OF ITS CONSUMERS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME A CONTROL ARM HAS BROKEN AND IT WILL NOT BE THE LAST TIME IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE ABOUT IT THE NEXT PERSON MAY NOT LIVE TO TELL THEIR STORY AND THAT IS VERY SAD TO EVEN IMAGINE.

FROM JULY TO SEPTEMBER NEVER HEARD ANYTHING FROM CHRYSLER TILL SEPT 24 ADVISING ME TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHOOSE ANOTHER VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT SO WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO GET A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. WAS TOLD TO CHOOSE A CAR AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE REGISTRATION AND THE PAPER WORK. DROVE THE 2015 JEEP RENEGADE FOR ALMOST A MONTH AND I CHECKED IN WITH THE DEALERSHIP ONCE A WEEK TO FIND OUT IF THE PAPERWORK WAS COMPLETE. FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP TO BRING BACK THE JEEP AND MY 2015 DART WAS REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD TO REGISTER THE DODGE DART AND THEN I COULD GET THE JEEP BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" WARNING MESSAGE DISPLAYED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR, WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, BUT THE ABS SENSOR ILLUMINATED. AFTER REPLACING THE ABS SENSOR, THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400. UPDATED 02/05/16*LJ *CN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE MINOR NECK AND BACK INJURIES SUSTAINED AND MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, I NOTICED THE TACH WAS APPROACHING REDLINE AND DISCOVERED THE CAR HAD GONE INTO NEUTRAL BUT SHIFT LEVER WAS IN DRIVE. I PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER AND AFTER STOPPING, PLACED SHIFT LEVER INTO PARK. REVVED THE ENGINE A COUPLE OF TIMES AND TRANSMISSION WENT INTO GEAR WITH NO OTHER PROBLEMS. THIS HAS OCCURRED ONLY ONCE. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS VEHICLE IS BEING RECALLED BY CHRYSLER FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY CHRYSLER AS OF YET.
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET I HIT A BUMP AND THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT COMPLETELY OFF WASN'T EVEN TURNED ON ANYMORE
MY 2015 DODGE DART WAS THE VICTIM OF A HIGH SPEED COLLISION...UNFORTUNATELY AS EXTENSIVE AS THE IMPACT WAS NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN MY VEHICLE AS I SPUN UNCONTROLLABLY AND BANG MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND SIDE OF THE CAR. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BECAUSE I WAS IMPRESSED BY ALL OF THE SAFETY FEATURES AND THE ONE FEATURE THAT COULD SAVE MY LIFE WAS DEFECTIVE.
DRIVING AT APPROX. 20 MPH, GETTING READY TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED, INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BLACK, TOTAL LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER AND STEERING. COASTED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND RETURNED TO CAR IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES. CAR STARTED AND ACTED NORMAL. NEXT INCIDENT WAS ABOUT 35 MILES LATER DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. SAME SENARIO, BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED BLACK PANEL AND LOSS OF STEERING. TOOK 10 MINUTES FOR CAR TO REGAIN POWER AND START. THIRD EPISODE AT ABOUT 45 MPH, BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED, I SHOVED SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, PANEL REMAINED LIT, BUT NO RPM SO ENGINE HAD QUIT. I PUSHED START BUTTON, ENGINE RESTARTED AND I PUT SHIFT LEVER INTO DRIVE. TOOK TO DEALER BUT NO CODES. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS BUT ISSUE CANNOT BE DUPLICATED AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT IS INTERMITTENT. I AM TRYING TO GET CHRYSLER TO REPURCHASE THIS DEATH TRAP.
JUST BOUGHT THE 2015 DODGE DART ON 9/2/15 . I HAVE 71 MILES ON IT RIGHT NOW. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I COULD BARELY TURN THE WHEEL. TOOK A LOT OF EFFORT TO TURN THE WHEEL. I DID NOT LOSS ENGINE POWER AT ALL. I HAD A STEERING WHEEL LIGHT ON WITH AN EXCLAIMATION MARK. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. STARTED DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND 5 MINS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN AND I COULD NOT STEER
MY GAS SAYS EMPTY AFTER I FILL IT AND THAN 10 MIN INTO DRIVING ITS FULL MY CONTROLLS GO HAYWIRE I AM GOING 65MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN I AM GOING 5 MPH AND EVERYTHING TURNS OFF ON THE PANEL, MY ENGINE MAKE A LOUD NOISE AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A WHILE. MY BRAKES MAKE A PLONG SOUND EVERYTIME I STEP ON THEM TO PUT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE
WHILE DRIVING IN THE MORNING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD SPEED LIMIT OF 30, I DECREASE SPEED TO COME TO A FULL STOP AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF ENGINE POWER AND POWER STEERING AT APPROXIMATELY 10MPH. VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START UNTIL THE 3RD ATTEMPT. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE UNTIL THE VEHICLE STALLED THE 2ND TIME. THEY UPDATED PCM/TCM, BUT STILL HAD STALLING ISSUES. THIS VEHICLE HAD STALLED OVER 5 TIMES AND THE DEALER WERE NOT ABLE TO PIN POINT THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS NOW AT APPROXIMATELY 15,400 MILES. I FEEL LIKE I'M ON THE EDGE AND UNSAFE EVERY TIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL. ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS NOT TURNING ON AND AS WELL AS THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS NOT CLOSING.
VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION. SPEED BEFORE IMPACT WAS 40-45 MPH. THE APPROXIMATE SPEED AT IMPACT WAS 30-35 MPH. A CAR TURNED IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WITH VERY LITTLE TIME TO REACT. THE FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY THOUGH THE FRONT END WAS DAMAGED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEABLE.
MY KNEE HIT THE IGNITION KEY WHILE DRIVING TO DALLAS AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER, FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED AND RESUMED MY TRIP.
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AT NIGHT, WHICH HAD A SPEED LIMIT MARKED AT 25 MILES PER HOUR. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF POTHOLES THAT I NOTICED SO I DECREASED MY SPEED AND WAS GOING BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MILES PER HOUR TRYING TO AVOID ANY THAT I SAW. I ENDED UP HITTING ONE WHICH WAS UNAVOIDABLE, AND HARD TO SEE SINCE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT NIGHT; I WAS GOING APPROX. 20 MILES PER HOUR (5 UNDER THE RECOMMENDED SPEED). WHEN THE CAR HIT THE POTHOLE THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE POPPED, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE SIDEWALL HAD BEEN BLOWN OUT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME TIRE HAD A SIDEWALL BLOWOUT AGAIN AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE, ONCE AGAIN AT NIGHT TIME WHILE GOING 35 MILES PER HOUR ON A ROAD THAT WAS MARKED 35 MILES PER HOUR, THE RIM WAS ALSO DAMAGED IN THIS INCIDENT. ANOTHER INCIDENT RECENTLY HAPPENED EARLIER IN JUNE 2015 WHERE I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND DRIVING APPROX. 35 MILES PER HOUR AND WHEN I TURNED MY HEAD BACK AROUND THE POTHOLE HAD ALREADY BEEN UNAVOIDABLE, THIS TIME IT WAS THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THIS RIM WAS ALSO DAMAGED DURING THE INCIDENT, AND A WEEK AFTER I RECEIVED MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN MY TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HAD WENT OUT. I HAD NOT HIT ANY HOLES, I WAS JUST CASUALLY DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN LATE JANUARY 2015, AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE SAME ROADS AS MY OLD CAR WHICH WAS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY BLOWOUTS OR INCIDENTS WITH THE HONDA, YET THIS 2015 DODGE DART HAS A BLOWOUT WITH THE SLIGHTEST POTHOLE ENCOUNTER.
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MY STEERING AXEL ON THE RIGHT HAND FRONT TIRE BROKE IN HALF. I THOUGHT THAT I HIT A POT HOLE BUT THERE WAS NO POT HOLE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO FIX IT. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER COMPANY AND THEY STATED THERE WASN'T ANY RECALLS. I FIND IT A LITTLE WIRED THAT THERE WAS I DIDN'T GET A FLAT TIRE THE AXEL JUST BROKE.
WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS STICKS AT TIMES THE ROUND ONE NOT THE DIGITAL ONE.
AS I WAS DRIVING, I SLOWED AND BRAKED FOR OTHER VEHICLES AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AS I STARTED TO RE-ACCELORATE, I REALIZED THE CAR HAD STALLED. WHEN I GOT THE CAR RE-STARTED, IT WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND THE CHECK ENGINE, THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ALL LIT AND/OR FLASHING. AFTER I GOT HOME, I DECIDED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THIS TIME, THE CAR DROVE FAIRLY NORMALLY WITH ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN ONLY 3600 MILES. (THE FIRST TIME WAS AT APPROX. 280 MILES AND THE SECOND TIME WAS AT ABOUT 500 MILES.) THE DEALER'S SERVICE WRITER IMPLIED SINCE THIS CAR HAS AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, IT WAS MY DRIVING STYLE AT FAULT. I HAVE DRIVEN SEVERAL OTHER CARS WITH ELECTRONIC THROTTLES FOR SEVERAL YEARS (MY PREVIOUS CAR HAD 120,000 MILES ON IT) AND THIS IS THE ONLY TIME ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED.
WAS GOING THROUGH CAR WASH AND ATTENDANT NOTICED A BULGE IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT I MUST HAVE HIT A POTHOLE ( WHICH I DID NOT) THAT'S THE ONLY WAY IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I AM VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE OF THE WARNING GIVEN BY A SALESPERSON WHEN WE LEASED THE VEHICLE.
VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE, BROKEN CLASP SPRING WHICH COULD HAVE ALLOWED THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING....CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS AND ALL OTHERS IN THE PATH OF THE VEHICLE DRIVING CALIFORNIA HIGHWAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE MOMENT IT WAS DRIVEN OFF OF THE CAR LOT. *TR
I WENT OUT TO MY CAR AND NOTICED A LARGE BULGE ON TOP OF DRIVER TIRE. TOOK TO DEALER SHIP [XXX] AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY ONLY HAS AROUND 18,000 MILES ON IT, THE TIRE DID NOT TAKE ANY IMPACT OF ANY SORT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
I PURCHASED MY 2015 DODGE DART ON JANUARY 19, 2015. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 1800 MILES ON IT. THIS MORNING WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BACK INTO THE ROAD. WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL I HEARD A RUBBING AND A SLIGHT CLANKING SOUND. TO GIVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON MY EXPERIENCE. ONE OF MY JOB FUNCTIONS IS DRIVING NEW VEHICLE'S TO LISTEN FOR UNIDENTIFIED INTERIOR NOISES. I ALSO INSPECT NEW VEHICLE'S FOR ANY TYPE OF EXTERIOR PAINT DEFECTS, BODY PANEL FIT AND ALIGNMENT, PAINT SEEDS, CHIPS, ETC...I BASICALLY INSPECT THE VEHICLE'S BEFORE THEY ARE SHIPPED TO THE DEALER. I WORK FOR A TOP AUTOMOTIVE MAKER. WITH THIS SAID, I UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN VEHICLES ARE NEW QUITE A FEW OF THEM MAKE SUSPENSION SOUNDS SIMILAR TO WHAT I DESCRIBED BECAUSE, THEY ARE STILL TIGHT, NOT BROKEN IN , ETC...THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT THE CASE WITH THIS DODGE DART. I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND TOWN FOR SEVERAL HOURS TODAY RUNNING ERRANDS. MAKING OF SHARP TURNS AT STOP SIGNS, INTO PARKING SPOTS, ETC...THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MAKE THIS SOUND ALL DAY AS I MADE ANY SHARP, LOW SPEED TURNS. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT PREVIOUSLY MADE THIS SOUND OR ANY SOUND SIMILAR, UNTIL TODAY. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT SOMEWHERE IN THE SUSPENSION OR STEERING COLUMN. I AM THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS EVER DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE PURCHASED NEW. I HAVE NOT HIT ANY POT HOLES, OR HAD ANY OTHER INCIDENCES THAT COULD CAUSE THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER AS OF RIGHT NOW. I WILL CONTACT THEM FIRST THING TOMORROW TO HAVE THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT BY THEIR MECHANICS. I KNOW THAT OTHER DART OWNERS HAVE AND STILL ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. I'VE READ OF SEVERAL MODEL YEARS 2013-14 WITH THE EXACT ISSUE AND A MAJORITY OF THEM HAVE GOTTEN THE RUNAROUND FROM THEIR DODGE DEALERSHIPS. I HOPE THIS ISSUE GETS INVESTIGATED FURTHER. *TR
