ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
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.

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
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.

ENGINE
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.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
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.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
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

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
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

SERVICE BRAKES
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.
