ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PURCHASED 2014 DODGE DART FROM SUBARU OF CHERRY HILL, NJ DEALERSHIP 5/2019 @ 44,000MI. USED. EXCELLENT CARFAX. SINCE OWNERSHIP, VEHICLE HAS STOPPED TWICE; ONCE WHILE SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, AND AGAIN WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. BATTERY LIGHT DID NOT COME ON EITHER TIME. 3RD TIME VEHICLE DIDN'T START AFTER BEING PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 HRS. NEEDED TO BE JUMPED. AFTER FIRST INCIDENT OF STOPPING, VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC; COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM. BATTERY CHECKED OUT AS OK. OIL CHANGE PERFORMED AT 47,351MI. ALSO, SINCE BEING PURCHASED, A SLIGHTLY SWEET SMELL COMES OUT OF FAN. DOES NOT GO AWAY. CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE WILL STOP WHILE ON A HIGHWAY, CAUSING A MULTI-VEHICLE CRASH. THIS SEEMS VERY UNSAFE. UPON INVESTIGATION, NO RECALL WAS NOTED. DEALERSHIP CALLED TO DISCUSS FURTHER WITHOUT RESPONSE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. MANY OTHER DRIVERS SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WHEN SEARCHED ONLINE. PLEASE HELP! MOST RECENT EPISODE WAS 2/13/19.

POWER TRAIN
I ALLOWED MY CAR TO WARM UP AT HOME FOR 10-15 MINS AND THEN WENT A MILE TO RETURN SOMETHING TO THE STORE LEFT MY CAR RUNNING UNTIL I GOT BACK AND I WENT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE, SO IT TOLD ME TO PUT IT IN NUTERUL AND THEN PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND SO I DID JUST THAT AND IT STILL WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE. SO I CONTINUED TO TRY AND PUT IT IN DRIVE UNTIL IT TOLD ME TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION AND SO AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS IT FINALLY WENT INTO DRIVE AND SO I STARTED TO LEAVE AND IT WOULDN'T GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR THE WHOLE WAY FOR 7 MILES AND SO I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN AND SO I DROVE 8 MORE MILES TO GET MY DODGE DART AREO LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID THAT WHEN THE CARS ARE COLD THE CARS COMPUTER WON'T REGISTER THE CARS TRANSMISSION'S CODES AND SAID IT WAS FINE NOW BUT I PERSONALLY DON'T BELIEVE IT.

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.

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.

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.

ENGINE
SUDDEN STALLING AT ANY SPEED, BEEN TO TOWBIN DODGE IN HENDERSON NEVADA, THEY SAY THEY ALL DO THAT WHEN IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE, SO I ASKED THEM, THERE IS ONLY 500 MILES SINCE U GUYS JUST CHANGED IT, THEY HOOKED UP A SCANNER AND SAID NO CODES CARS FINE. I SAID IT SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON, THE STEERING GETS SUPER STIFF WHEN THE CAR DIES, AND IT'S A PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM, THEN IT MAKES A FUNNY NOISE, AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS IT WILL START UP AND BE FINE FOR A WEEK OR SO, SOMETIMES IT STALKS 2 TO 3 TIMES IN A MILE. I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT THE DODGE DART WITH THEV2.4 LTR ENGINE STALLS FOR NO REASON, THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER STILL INSISTS IT'S AN OIL CHANGE TIMER IN THE COMPUTER THAT GETS YOU TO CHANGE THE OIL. I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THAT REASONING TO STALL THE CAR OUT ON THE FREEWAY OR INTERSECTION BECAUSE IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
ISSUE #1: BRAKES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP (WHETHER IT BE A RED LIGHT, A STOP SIGN, OR A SUDDEN STOP DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY) THE BRAKES FAIL TO FULLY GRASP MAKING ME SUSCEPTIBLE TO RAMMING THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME FROM BEHIND. ISSUE #2: ENGINE? ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS SUDDENLY JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS NO PRIOR WARNING TO THIS OCCURRING. ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND THAT LEADS ME TO SUDDEN MISSES IN BEING HIT FROM BOTH INCOMING TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC FROM BEHIND. BATTERY IS BRAND NEW SO THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN AUGUST 2018, THE PAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS NOVEMBER 2018.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WENT TO GET IN MY CAR AND THE ALARM SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND IT WILL NOT START. ALSO THE MOTOR CONSUMES OIL AT AN ALARMING PACE TO THE POINT I HAVE TO TAKE OIL WITH ME WHEN I GO ANYWHERE. BECAUSE IF I DON'T IT WILL GET LOW AND THE CAR WILL LOSE ALL POWER WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE KIDS. CAR STILL WILL NOT START

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED UNDER THE RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILURE ALTHOUGH IT DID SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BE INOPERABLE. IF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL, IT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY BEING SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, AFTER THE SHIFTER WAS MOVED THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY MOVED INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITON AND WOULD NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN IN ORDER TO PARK IT. THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE WAS PULLED IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STATIONARY AND THE ENTIRE SIDE OF THE CAR WHERE THE ISSUE WAS HAD TO BE REMOVED, I.E THE BATTERY AND THE COMPARTMENT THAT HOLDS THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE FAULTY PART AND TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE AND INSTALL A NEW PART. MY VEHICLE HOWEVER DID THIS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY SHIFT BUSHING PART THAT HAS WITHERED AWAY AFTER ONLY 4 YEARS. THE CABLE UNEXPECTEDLY RELEASED ITSELF FROM THE BUSHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE DRIVER DISCOVERED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER HAD ERRONEOUSLY SWITCHED FROM THE DRIVE POSITION INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (FRANK FLETCHER DODGE, 5922 WARDEN RD, SHERWOOD, AR) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.
