WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK THE CAR WILL STALL AND BEGIN TO JERK. THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL BEGIN TO FLASH WHILE IN MOTION AND THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN IN SPEED AND THEN PICK BACK UP AFTER A WHILE. AFTER CRANKING THE CAR IT WILL SHUT OFF WHILE STILL PARKED. THE CAR WILL ALSO SHUT OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN ONTO ANOTHER STREET.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DURING COLD WEATHER OF 20 F OR LOWER REMOTE START, PUSH START, AND MAIN DASH/TOUCH SCREEN WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY. CAR WILL NOT CORRECTLY START BY REMOTE/PUSH START AND STALLS OUT PERIODICALLY DESPITE HAVING BEEN SERVICED FOR RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE. MAIN DASH/ TOUCH SCREEN WILL NOT TURN ON AT CAR START WHICH MAKES HEAT/COOLING/RADIO/REAR CAMERA/ SEAT HEATING INACCESSIBLE AND UNCONTROLLABLE. MULTIPLE RESTARTS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND WHILE DRIVING IT WILL NOT COME ON. ANYTHING CONTROLLED BY DASH/TOUCH SCREEN IS LOCKED TO THE SETTINGS THEY WERE LAST TIME THE DASH/ TOUCH SCREEN WAS ACCESSIBLE. ACTUAL CONTROLE KNOBS DO NOT WORK WHEN DASH/TOUCH SCREEN IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. IF SYSTEMS DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY AT START THEY DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY AFTER DRIVING AND 'WARMING' UP THE ENGIN. THIS CAR IS LOCATED IN MICHIGAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE HAD BEEN MULTIPLE FAILURES PERTAINING TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TURBOS.

THE DEALER (BAXTER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OMAHA (17950 BURT ST, OMAHA, NE 68118, (402) 800-1230) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED A THIRD TIME BECAUSE A PORCELAIN PIECE SURROUNDING THE CENTER ELECTRODE FRACTURED AND A PLUG CAME OUT OF A PISTON TOP ASSOCIATED WITH THE CYLINDER WALLS, WHICH DAMAGED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THE TURBO, AND THE LONG BLOCK. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PARTS. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE OEM PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED CAUSED THE FAILURES BECAUSE, AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE FAILURES CONTINUED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ISSUE BEGAN TO OCCUR WHERE CAR WILL LOSE ACCELERATION AND MUST BE TURNED OFF IN ORDER TO WORK AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT SIX TIMES NOW WHERE THE CAR MUST BE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (IF POSSIBLE) AND RESTARTED. DURING RESTART, THE ENGINE HESITATES/SPUTTERS FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS BEFORE RETURNING TO SEEMINGLY NORMAL OPERATION. AT NO OTHER TIME DOES THE CAR ACT LIKE THIS. NORMALLY IT WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS STARTING UP. JUST LAST NIGHT, I WENT TO LEAVE AND WAS UNABLE TO TAKE THE CAR OUT OF PARK. AFTER A QUICK SEARCH I FOUND THAT THE CAR MAY HAVE A LOOSE OR BAD SHIFTING CABLE. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO BE REOCCURRING IN THESE CARS. MY 14 GT HAS 64K MILES AND HAS ALWAYS RECIEVED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

ENGINE
I HAVE HAD 5 DIFFERENT PLACES CHANGE MY OIL AND AT EVERY ONE THE FILTER HAS EITHER COME OFF IN MY HAND OR CREATE A GAP IN THE FILTER SEAL WHICH IS CAUSED OIL TO START SPRAYING ALL OVER THE CAR AND LEAKING ALL OVER THE GROUND. ALL FIVE TIMES THIS IS HAPPENED THE FILTER IS EITHER GOING OFF IN MY HAND OR HAD THE SEAL OF THE FILTER START LEAKING OIL. SPRAYING OIL ALL OVER IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND CAUSING ME TO LOSE ALL OF MY OIL ON THE GROUND AND ALL OVER THE ENGINE UNKNOWN IF THIS IS CAUSED ANY OTHER PROBLEMS INSIDE THE ENGINE YET EVERY TIME THIS IS HAPPENED I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET ON THE FREEWAY I WAS ABLE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND HAVE IT TAKEN CARE OF WITH MINIMAL DRIVING WITHOUT OIL . THIS IS HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES NOW AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS CHANGING THE OIL EVERY TIME IT'S HAPPENED WHEN YOU JUST CHANGE THE OIL AND ALSO WHEN IT'S ALMOST TIME TO CHANGE OIL AGAIN OR ANYTIME IN BETWEEN THAT. IF I HAD MADE IT ON THE FREEWAY WITH ANY OF THESE TIMES THAT THIS IS HAPPENED IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC TO MY ENGINE AND CAUSE ME TO CRASH

WAS DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP. THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND STARTED TO SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO FIGHT TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD SINCE THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE. ALL THE LIGHTS REMAINED LIT UP. I BELIEVE IT'S THE PCM DO TO OTHER RECALL BUT MY CAR IS A MANUAL AND THE RECALL IS FOR AUTOMATICS ONLY.

POWER TRAIN
I GOT IN MY CAR, STARTED IN, PLACED IT IN DRIVE AND PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I GOT NO MORE THAN 4 FEET AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN FROM DRIVE AND THEN STOP MOVING. I PUT THE BRAKE ON, MOVED THE GEAR STICK INTO PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE GEAR SHIFT AND REALIZED IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND SAID THE SAME ON THE DASH. REPEATED TRIES PROVED TO BE FRUITLESS. THE CAR IS NOW ENGAGED IN DRIVE AND PREVENTS ME FROM REMOVING MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY DODGE DART 2014 IN AUGUST OF 2018. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH AROUND 26,000 MILES ON IT. GREAT CONDITION, EXCELLENT MILEAGE, NO ACCIDENTS, AND ONLY ONE OWNER. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 5 MONTHS. I USE IT MAINLY AS A COMMUTER CAR. IT STARTED HAVING ISSUES ALMOST AS SOON AS WE GOT IT. THEY WERE FIRST MINOR THINGS. UNTIL NOVEMBER 2018. MY CARS BATTERY DIED AND REFUSED TO START. I HAD TO REPLACE OUT OF POCKET DUE TO IT NOT BEING COVERED BY WARRANTY. IT WAS HAVING ISSUES STARTING, I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DUE TO IT BEING COLD (BECAUSE IT WOULD BE FINE ONCE IT HEATED UP), SO AT FIRST THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. IT WOULD START UP AND I WOULD DRIVE IT LESS THEN A MILE, I WOULD START TO SLOW DOWN AND EVERYTHING WOULD SHUT OFF. THE HEATER AND THE LIGHTS WOULD STILL BE ON BUT IT WOULD LOOSE ACCELERATION AND THE BATTERY LIGHT WOULD COME ON. IT WILL DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL THE CAR IS WARM(EVEN THEN IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO IT AFTERWARD). RPM DROPS TO ZERO, CHECK ENGINE, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, AND BATTERY LIGHT ALL COME ON. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO IT STOPPING IN TRAFFIC, ON THE HIGHWAY, AND IN INTERSECTIONS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ UP ON THIS ISSUE AND SEE THAT I LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT 24% OIL LIFE, I WILL BE TESTING TO SEE IF THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED(TEMPORARILY) LIKE OTHERS HAVE BEEN. DUE TO FEAR OF IT NOT BEING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER. THEY QUOTED ME AT $400 DOLLARS FOR EVERYTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE WRONG (BASED OFF THIS INFORMATION THEY HAVE AN IDEA OF ALREADY WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY STILL WANT ME TO COME IN AND TRY TO CHARGE ME FOR IT BECAUSE IT MOST LIKELY WON'T BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

MY 2013 DODGE DART SXT WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF! THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE SWITCH NOT WORKING OR IT'S AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. TURN SIGNALS STILL WORK BUT THIS IS A HAZARD THAT CAN GET DRIVER HURT. IT ADDS AN DISTRACTION.

THE CAR TURNS OFF WHEN AT A STOP ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN OR SLOWING DOWN. THE CAR GIVES YOU NO WARNING NO LIGHTS COME ON IT JUST TURNS OFF. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE MECHANIC FOR OVER A WEEK AND THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECOMES IT COMES BACK ON AFTER 3-4 ATTEMPTS. THIS IS A EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN FOR THAT IT TURNS OFF COMPLETELY WHEN AT A STOP OR A LIGHT. THIS CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT AND THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE DIAGNOSED YET.
