ENGINE
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.

POWER TRAIN
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.

ENGINE
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.

SERVICE BRAKES
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

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!

ENGINE
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.

POWER TRAIN
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.
