AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
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??

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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,

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
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.

ENGINE
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

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.
