THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 OR 7 TIMES. I START MY DART AND IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. IT THE CLUTCH WILL BE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT STILL WILL NOT SHIFT. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING. IT SCARED ME I WAS GLAD I WAS NOT ON A BUSY STREET OR GOING REALLY FAST. IT IS ALSO STALLING WHEN I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO MAKE IT STALL. IT WILL BE RUNNING AND THEN NOTHING. IT HAS BEEN SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I DRIVE FOR WORK AND WITH OUT MY CAR I CAN NOT EARN A LIVING. SO I HAVE MADE IT WORK. I AM GETTING WORRIED THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
STARTED HAVING ISSUES WHEN I STARTED LEASING IT IN 2014.IT HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 7 TIMES NOW, DUE TO STALLING OUT. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN,ITS BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE.IT STALLS OUT AT ALL TIMES,WHETHER IT BE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN THE MORNING,TURNING SLOWLY AROUND THE CORNER,DRIVING ON A LOCAL SIDE STREET GOING 30 MPH, WHEN I STARTED TO BRAKE BEFORE A SPEED BUMP, GOING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, I CAN KEEP GOING. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUN AROUND, PROBLEM CAN'T BE DUPLICATED, SO LETS GUESS. PCM REPLACED A COUPLE TIMES AS WELL AS THE FLASH UPDATES PERFORMED, PCV VALVE REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT STILL STALLS OUT. HAVE EVEN HAD TO PAY FOR A BATTERY BECAUSE THEY STATED THAT WAS THE ISSUE BEFORE AND IT WASN'T SO I HAD TO PAY FOR A BATTERY WHEN I COULD HAVE USED THAT MONEY FOR SOMETHING ELSE AS I AM IN A TIGHT BUDGET AS IT IS. AS OF TODAY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AGAIN, (I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AS WELL) AS OF TODAY, MY PCV AND MAP SENSOR REPLACED, AGAIN. I WAS TOLD FROM AN INDIVIDUAL FROM CORPORATE THAT HE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP HE WANTED THEM TO KEEP THE VEHICLE TO TRY TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. APPARENTLY THAT WAS NOT DONE WHICH I WILL CERTAINLY BE ADDRESSING WITH HIM AND REQUEST BE DONE.SINCE THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN, WHICH WAS WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF HAVING IT, THERE ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH IT BEING "LOW ON OIL",EVERY SINGLE TIME. I THINK THAT SHOULD HAVE RAISED A RED FLAG THE 3RD OR 4TH TIME I BROUGHT IT IN. THEY ARE PLAYING A GUESSING GAME, NOT BEING LOYAL AND FAIR.THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET, COMPLETELY. I THINK THEY ARE JUST DOING ANYTHING TO BUY TIME BECAUSE MY LEASE IS ALMOST UP,NOT FAIR. I ALREADY HAVE LEGAL COUNSEL STANDING BY. WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED, THEN THEY WILL WORRY ABOUT OUR SAFETY.HOW MANY COMPLAINTS WILL IT TAKE.

POWER TRAIN
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

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAYS (OR ANY OTHER ROAD) THE VEHICLE HAS SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL AND LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OVER 20 TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS SERVICE TRANSMISSION. AUTO STICK DISABLED. I HAVE TAKEN IT MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE MADE MULTIPLE REPAIRS, INCLUDING RECALLS AND A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. STILL THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND THE COMPANY DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE THAT MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY IS IN DANGER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP. I AM LISTING THE MOST RECENT DATE THIS HAPPENED BELOW AS I CANNOT LIST MULTIPLE DATES THERE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN 2013 AND HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE SHOP EVER SINCE.
