POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING OVER A MOUNTAIN PASS WHEN I GOT A MESSAGE "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE" AFTER PUTTING ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO THROUGH THE GEARS. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME WITH VEHICLE BARELY GOING THROUGH GEARS WHEN SLOWED AND THEN SPEEDING UP. I HAD NO REVERSE WHEN STOPPED TO HAVE CHECKED AND LEAVING THE PARKING LOT. I HAD PROBLEMS GETTING BACK UP TO DRIVING SPEED AFTER SLOWING DOWN.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS WON'T TURN ON ANYMORE. AND I'VE SEARCHED UP THIS PROBLEM TO TRY TO FIX IT, BUT IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. IT CAN CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE DURING HEAVY RAINS BECAUSE THE I COULDN'T TURN ON THE WIPERS TO WIPE THE RAIN WATERS AWAY. DRIVING BACK FROM WARREN, IN TO FORT WAYNE, IN WAS A SCARY TRIP THROUGH THE I-69 SOUTH AND US 33 S ROUTE, THE HEAVY RAIN BLINDED AND COVERED EVERYTHING ON THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE ROADS AND OTHER MV WAS HARDLY ABLE TO SEE, ALL I CAN SEE WAS A GLIMPSE OF BLURRY YELLOW LIGHTS FROM THE SEMI TRUCKS. PLEASE HAVE THIS RECALL, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

ENGINE
I OWN A 2016 GT DART WITH JUST OVER 37,000 MILES ON IT. FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING NEIGHBORHOOD SPEEDS SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY...FROM RESEARCH AND THE SYMPTOMS I'VE BEEN GETTING I BELIEVE IT COULD BE LINKED TO THE OIL AND OIL CHANGE LIGHT. HOWEVER, I'VE CHECKED THE OIL LEVELS AND IF ANYTHING THERE MIGHT BE TOO MUCH OIL IN THE CAR. THE OIL LIFE METER IS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND THE OIL CHANGE LIGHT WILL NOT COME ON BUT SHOULD BE AT THIS POINT. I WILL HEAR LIKE HALF A DING AND IT TRIES TO COME ON THE SCREEN FOR A SPLIT SECOND BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF: 'START THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY AND THE ENGINE TURNS OVER FINE 'DRIVE OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD ON TO THE MAIN ROAD AND GET UP TO A SPEED OF ~40MPH 'WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE, BATTERY INDICATOR DINGS AND LIGHT TURNS ON, AND ALL ELECTRONICS (RADIO, A/C...) REMAIN ON. 'I PULL OVER (GET FLIPPED OFF AND HONKED AT - I LOVE ATL...), PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND TURN EVERYTHING OFF 'ATTEMPT TO TURN THE ENGINE BACK OVER, MAY TAKE 5-10 SECONDS OR 1 OR 2 TIMES (I HAVE A PUSH START) 'ENGINE TURNS OVER AND I NEVER HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM FOR THE REST OF THE DAY

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSH IT WAS HARD AS A ROCK AND NO BRAKES, HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP ,ALMOST GETTING HIT IN A INTERSECTION. FOUND THAT THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP HAD SEIZED AND CHECK VALVE TO BOOSTER HAD FAILED INTRODUCING ENGINE OIL INTO BRAKE BOOSTER. DEALERSHIPS HAVE CLAIMED IT WAS NO PROBLEM WHEN RECALL WAS ISSUED AND ANOTHER SAID RECALL HAS EXPIRED. I THOUGHT THEY HAVE UP TO 8 TO 10 YEARS TO FIX SAFETY RECALLS.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED TWICE DUE TO IT SHAKING WHILE TRYING TO STOP. I ALSO HAVE PUT ON THREE SETS OF ROTORS DUE TO THE SHAKING AND EVEN WITH BRAND NEW ROTORS THE BOUNCING AND SHAKING WILL NOT GO AWAY. THE NEWEST PROBLEM NOW IS THE BRAKES NOT WANTING TO WORK. I HAVE HAD THEM CHECKED BY MECHANICS AND THEY SAY THERE'S NOTHING TO DO BUT CHANGE THEM OUT AGAIN!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
REGARDING THE REAR BACK UP CAMERA, THE CAMERA IS A VITAL TOOL FOR US, THE VEHICLE WAS LITERALLY ONE MONTH OUT OF MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AND IT WENT OUT. THEN WE WENT TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A SERVICE AND ASKED THE SERVICE WRITER IF THEY COULD REPAIR THE CAMERA UNDER WARRANTY AND WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING IN THE COMPUTER HE QUICKLY RESPONDED THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET, IS THE CAMERA NOT A SAFETY DEVICE? I REALLY WISH DEALERSHIPS WOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
LAST NIGHT I WAS DRIVING ONTO A HIGHWAY ENTRANCE. I WENT TO SWITCH FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I WAS GOING ABOUT 25 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO SHIFT GEARS AND I HEARD A LOUD CLICK. I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND THE PEDAL WAS STUCK, PUSHED ALL THE WAY IN. I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD, AND BY HAND, PULL THE PEDAL UP. NOW EVERY TIME I PUSH THE CLUTCH PEDAL IN TO SHIFT GEARS IT GETS STUCK AND I HAVE TO WEDGE MY FOOT UNDER THE PEDAL TO PULL IT BACK UP WITH MY FOOT. I ONLY DID THIS TO DRIVE MY CAR BACK HOME. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT SINCE.

ENGINE
2.4-LITER TIGERSHARK ENGINE CHRYSLER DODGE AUTOMOTIVES ROUTINELY OVERCONSUME OIL, CAUSING COSTLY MAINTENANCE. THE OIL OVERCONSUMPTION ALSO LEADS TO LOW OIL PRESSURE, TRIGGERING A DEFECT IN THE AFFECTED DODGE DART VEHICLE TO SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF WHILE IN OPERATION. THIS CAN OCCUR IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS OR EVEN ON THE FREEWAY. VEHICLE HAS NO INDICATOR TO SHOW ACTUAL REMAINING OIL LIFE TO WARN DRIVERS OF POTENTIALLY SUDDEN SHUT DOWN. THIS HAS CREATED AN UNSAFE DRIVING HAZARDS. THIS IS THE SECOND CHRYSLER PRODUCT I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERS ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR AND KEEP EXTENDING THE PROBLEM PAST WARRANTY AS THEY REQUEST OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS ALL THE TIME AND WILL NOT DIRECTLY REPAIR THE ISSUE. WE HAVE VISITED 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS, HAZE CHRYSLER IN GAINESVILLE, GA, TRONCOLI CHRYSLER IN CUMMING GA, AND NOW DON JACKSON CHRYSLER IN CUMMING, GA. THE DODGE DATE HAS STOPPED RUNNING WHILE IN MOTION AND ALSO WHEN STOPPED. THIS IS IN OPERATION BY MY SON, AND AS AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVE WHEN HE FIRST RECEIVED THE CAR, IT CREATES A GREATER THREAT TO NOT KNOW HOW TO OPERATE UNDER THE POWER LOSS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS. HE IS NOT A HIGH MILAGE DRIVER UNTIL COLLEGE SO IT HAS BECOME MORE OBVIOS IN THE LAST 2 YEARS.

POWER TRAIN
THE CLUTCH PEDAL BEGAN OCCASIONALLY STICKING, SOMETIMES ALL THE WAY IN TO THE FLOOR, OTHER TIMES HALFWAY AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SHIFT. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER. THE ISSUE QUICKLY DETERIORATED, WHERE IT WAS HAPPENING ALL OF THE TIME. NOW WHEN I START THE CAR WITH THE CLUTCH IN, THE SAFETY ALLOWS ME TO START THE CAR, BUT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO MOVE AS IF THE CLUTCH IS NOT DEPRESSED IF STARTED IN FIRST GEAR, AND THEN I CANNOT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND NEED TO EITHER BE READY TO GO OR SHUT THE ENGINE OFF SO AS NOT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE IN THE MARKETPLACE AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO HAVE THE CAR BEING TO MOVE AS SOON AS IT IS STARTED AND NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT BACK INTO NEUTRAL. I FEAR THERE WILL BE SEVERAL ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THIS FOR ANYONE NOT FULLY AWARE WHEN STARTING THEIR CAR.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, WHEELS
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING AT ALL AND SKID CONTROL DOESN'T WORK EITHER. BRAKES ARE HARD TO PUSH OFTEN AND VEHICLE IS MORE AND MORE RELUCTANT TO STOP. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS IN MOTION. STEARING IS HARDER WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS OR STOPS ALSO. THE ISSUE BEGAN AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ANTILOCK BRAKE ISSUE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. ALL LIGHTS WHERE CLEARED AT MY LAST SERVICE BUT CAME BACK ON IMMEDIATELY FROM LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I SERVICED IT AT. I HAVE KIDS I TRANSPORT IN THIS VEHICLE AND FAILING BRAKES UNDER 90000 MILES IS A BIG DEAL. APPROXIMATE MILEAGE IS 83000.

WHEELS
WHEEL LUGS SWELL AND BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE FROM THE WHEEL HUB, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE, A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM ON BUSY STREETS. VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE TOWED, WITH EXPENSIVE REPAIRS, SIMPLY TO CHANGE A TIRE. AN INTERNET SEARCH CONFIRMED THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY DODGE DART OWNERS.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HAD THIS 2015 DODGE DART FOR 1 WEEK. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED ME 546.74 FOR A CAR THAT I BOUGHT A WEEK AGO, FOR A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT CAUSED BY ME. THE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AFTER SITTING FOR A DAY. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF AND THE CAR.
