ENGINE
DODGE DARTS OF THIS MODEL YEAR INCLUDING MINE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TURBOCHARGER. PROBLEMS WITHIN THE SETUP CREATE A "TURBO UNDERBOOST" CONDITION, WHICH PROMPTS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND THROWS THE CAR INTO LIMP MODE. THIS IS OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY A LACK OF POWER FROM THE ENGINE AND A ROUGH IDLE, OR STALLING AT IDLE. IN MY CASE IT HAPPENED WHILE I LEAVING A CITY, AND I DID NOT HAVE THE POWER TO ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER PULLING OVER AND RE-STARTING THE CAR, THIS ISSUE IS TEMPORARILY RESOLVED. THIS IS SUCH AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR THAT THERE IS A NORTH AMERICA WIDE BACK-ORDER ON THE NEW-TURBO WITH THIS ISSUE CORRECTED. FOR MANY LIKE ME, THIS EXPENSE IS OUT-POCKET OR FOR A LUCKY FEW, STILL COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE WARRANTS A RECALL AND PROPER FIX IF THE TURBOCHARGER SETUP. THE ISSUE IS CORRECTED ON 2014+ MODEL YEARS, WHICH IS AN INDICATION THAT FCA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPERS HAVE TURNED AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND AM UNABLE TO CHANGE THE SPEED OF THE WIPERS. IT STARTED WITH THEM TURNING ON WHEN THE LEFT BLINKER WAS ACTIVATED, BUT THEY WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN THE BLINKER DID. THEY ARE NOW TURNING ON EVERY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THEY WASHER SPRAYER DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE EITHER. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS BECAUSE THE WIPERS KEEP MOVING IN FRONT OF YOU AND THEY SCREECH HORRIBLY SINCE THE WINDSHIELD IS DRY AND THE WASHER FLUID NO LONGER WORKS. THIS IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE SPEED OF THE WIPERS TO KEEP UP WITH THE HEAVINESS OF THE RAIN. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH MANY FORUMS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL.

VEHICLE MADE WEIRD NOISES AS SOON AS IT WAS PUT IN DRIVE SHORTLY AFTER BEING TURNED ON. WAS DRIVING ON A 45 MPH ROAD WHEN I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE AFTER THE FIRST GEAR WHILE TURNING INTO THE FREEWAY. WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS ABLE TO PUT INTO FIRST GEAR AND AFTER SECOND GEAR BEGAN TO REV UP AN NO ACCELERATION HAPPENED. WAS UNABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK AND TRIED TO TEST IT 'OUT AGAIN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ITS STILL FAILING. MY VEHICLE IS UNDRIVABLE AND NOW NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS OF A RECALL THAT IS STILL "PENDING". MINE & MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY WAS ON THE LINE. WE WERE LUCKY IT WAS NOT RUSH HOUR. I HAVE ATTACHED THE LETTER I RECEIVED FROM THE FAC US LLC STATING THIS IS A DEFECTED VEHICLE. WHICH IS A LETTER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NTMVSA.

CARE STARTS OVERHEATING WHILE THE COOLANT IS FULL AND ALL OTHER COMPONENTS ARE WORKING. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE OVERHEATING AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF DAMAGE TO BE REPAIRED. ALSO OCCASIONALLY THE OIL SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR FROM THE ENGINE WITH NO LEAK OR VISIBLE DAMAGE.. CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY STALL OUT AS WELL WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 3 TIMES AND THE CAR WILL TURN OFF WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THE DRIVE IS EXTREMELY ROUGH AND IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE IT BANGS REALLY LOUD WITH ANY SMALL BUMP. CAR HAS A BUNCH OF FLAWS AND I HAVE HAD IT LESS THAN 2 YEARS.
