2015 Dodge Dart Complaint Log

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,177.

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"

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

MY CAR STALLS ON OCCASIONS IN ADDITION TO CUTTING OFF AND ALSO SHAKES WHEN SITTING STILL MY ENGINE LIGHTS STAYS ON

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

THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE DEALER NEVER CALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO WAIT UNTIL THE DEALER PROVIDED THEM WITH A DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE THEY WOULD BELIEVE THE DEALER OVER THE CONSUMER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,500.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH ~ 31,000 MILES. I'VE PUT ~ 10,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE CAR HAS USED 3 QUARTS OF OIL IN THAT TIME. I ALSO HAVE HAD THE OIL CHANGED TWICE. ONCE WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR AND ONCE TWO WEEKS AGO. INITIALLY THE CAR STALLED 3 TIMES WHILE IN MOTION AND TURNING.

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. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, A LOUD NOISE EMERGED FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA. THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND THEN STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

WELL THEY WERE RIGHT ON THAT. SO DODGE FIXED THOSE THINGS FOR ME.THEN SAID MY KNOCKING WAS FROM THE AXEL.TWO DAYS LATER ITS STILL KNOCKING I HAD ANOTHER SHOP DIAGNOSE THE KNOCKING TO IT WAS THE (RACK AND PINION).I TOOK IT BACK TO DODGE AND TOLD THEM AND THEY ARGUED AND SAID NO THAT'S NOT IT.TWO DAYS LATER THEY ORDERED A RACK AND PINION.NOW THE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT ON ME,THE SHIFTING PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN.ONE THE HIGH WAY GOING 75 MPH THERE IS A TERRIBLE NOISE COMING FROM TIRE AREA ALONG WITH A VIBRATION THAT I FEEL ON MY FEET COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR.GOING AROUND HIGHWAY CORNERS THE BACK END FEELS LIKE IT'S SLIDES.ALL THIS WITH IN 1 MONTH OF OWNING THIS CAR.THIS CAR IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE SAFE FOR MY KIDS AND I,NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THEY TRY TO FIX IT.I GOT INVOICES AND EVERYTHING DOCUMENT AND I WILL BE GETTING A LAWYER FOR HAVING TO PAY 15000 FOR A LEMON WHEN I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP I WANTED SOMETHING ELSE CAUSE THERE IS TO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH IT WHEN IT'S ONLY TWO YEARS OLD.I WAS TOLD NO ITS TO LATE I GOT ALL THE MESSAGES SAVES ON MESSENGER FROM THE SALES MEN AT THE DEALERSHIP.WHAT DO THEY EXPECT ME TO DO AFTER THE WARRANTIES UP AND IT STILL HAS ISSUES I CAN'T AFFORD THAT.I BOUGHT A NEW CAR SO I DIDN'T NEED TO PUT MONEY INTO IT. THIS CAR IS A LEMON@IWILLPROVEIT

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

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.

2015 DODGE DART CANNOT BE SHIFTED FROM PARK.

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

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END CRASH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT BECAME DETACHED DURING THE CRASH AND FRACTURED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IT WAS UNKNOWN WHETHER OR NOT A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE SHOULDER, SHINS, AND CHEST, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

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.

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. NOW I NEED PROOF THAT I REPORTED IT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SEND ME THIS REPORT.

P225/45R17KUMHO TIRES HAD BUGES IN 2 OUT OF THE 4 ORIGINAL TIRES AT 2000 MILES.CAUSING A HOLE IN ONE OF THE SIDEWALLS AT 25000 MILES.

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
