ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE MOTOR HAS HAD AN OIL LEAK THAT STARTED AT 3000 MILES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS MIGHT LEAD TO AN ENINE FIRE. I HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING. WITH THE POWERTRAIN THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE THEN SURGES FORWARD. THIS STARTED AROUND THE 5000 MILE MARK AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. IT ACTS LIKE THE CLUTCH SLIPS BUT I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND EVERY TIME I AM TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS WHEN SITTING IN TRAFFICE OR TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP BECAUE THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO MOVE AT FIRST AND THEN WHEN IT DOES LUNGE FORWARD IT IS NOT CONTROLABLE HOW FAR IT WILL ACTUALL GO.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WAS FILED ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2016. IHTSA ID NUMBER 10906998. ORIGINALLY THE VEHICLE DYING WAS SAID TO BE DUE TO THE OIL NEEDING TO BE CHANGED AND SOMETHING WITH THE TURBO ENGINE THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE. SINCE THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS UPDATED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THERE WERE NO OTHER ISSUES AFTER THE COMPUTER SYSTEM UPDATE. APRIL 10TH THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A LOUD RATTLING SOUND. THE SOUND BEGINS ONCE YOU GET OVER 50-55MPH AND GETS LOUDER THE FASTER YOU GO AND THE LONGER YOU DRIVE. I RECORDED THE SOUND SO THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE A BICYCLE CHAIN. IT IS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE FOR THE RATTLING PROBLEM ON JUNE 21. TODAY WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE VEHICLE TRIED STALLING. AFTER DRIVE ABOUT 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE DIED WHILE PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. A CAR SWERVED INTO THE TURNING LANE TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME. THIS MAKES THE 4TH TIME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS DIED WHILE DRIVING IT. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO CAUSE ME OR MY CHILDREN TO BE INJURED OR KILLED. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 14, 153 MILES.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A FEW THINGS HAS BEEN OCCURRING REGARDING MY CAR. THE FIRST THING IS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES AND WHEN I GOT IT CHECKED, THE CAR WOULDN'T START RIGHT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED, HOWEVER, THEY REPORTED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE SECOND THING AND MOST SCARIEST IS MY BRAKES. MY BRAKES ARE TOTALLY MESSED UP AS THEY CONSTANTLY LOCK AND IT'S HARD TO PRESS ON THE BREAKS. THEREFORE I DO NOT DRIVE LONG DISTANCES BECAUSE I AM AFRAID I WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO GET DIAGNOSED AND THEY TOLD ME THE MY BRAKES AND ROTARS ARE SEVERELY DAMAGED AND INFACT IT WON'T PASS THE SAFETY CHECK IN THE STATE OF NY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE CAR SHAKES VERY URUPTLY AT IDLE. YOU CAN LOOK AT THE ENGINE AND SEE IT'S SHAKING AT IDLE. IF YOU TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER ON IT GETS WORSE. RADIO SCREEN WILL NOT WORK SOMETIMES. BLUE TOOTH WILL WORK THEN CUT OFF THEN TURN BACK ON WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WORK THEN RANDOMLY NOT WORK WHERE I HAVE TO TURN THEM MANUALLY ON. WIPERS DO THE SAME AS THE HEADLIGHTS BUT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE FOR THE WIPERS IT TAKES TURNING OFF THE CAR AND TURNING IT BACK ON AND OUT THEM ON LOW. ENGINE WILL DIE RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT ANY SPEED. GPS WILL NOT LOAD SOMETIMES. THE BACK UP CAMERA WORKS WHEN SCREEN WORKS BUT ALSO FAILS WHEN SCREEN IS WORKING AND WHILE BACKING UP. DURING TAKE OFF THE CAR WILL STALL LIKE NO GAS THEN IT WILL GO LIKE IT'S GETTING GAS. DURING COLD IT SHIFTS REALLY ROUGH LIKE YOUR USING A STANDARD SLAMMING IT IN GEAR. I HAVE ALSO HAS 2 MISFIRE IN 2 DIFFERENT CYLINDERS. ONE WAS A COIL PACK THE OTHER WAS SUPPOSEDLY A LOOSE CONNECTION. TOOK CAR IN FOR ALL THIS AND DEALER SAID IF THEIR IS NO CHECK ENGINE NOTHING THEY CAN DO EVEN THOUGH THEY FEEL THE CAR CHAIR AND CAN SEE THE ENGINE SHAKING. THEY TELL ME TO COME BACK IN WHEN LIGHT COMES ON. LIGHT SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL FAULTS. ECM AND TCM HABE BEEN REPROGRAMMED MULTIPLE TIMES AND PROBLEMS STILL CONSIST.

THE LAST 2 WEEKS MY 2014 DODGE DART WOULD STALL IN THE MORNING. DOESN'T MATTER WHEN AND WHERE. IT JUST LOSES ALL POWER. IT WONT START FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. AT ONE POINT AT 5:30 AM THE CAR STALLED ON A ONE WAY STREET IN A CANYON, WITH BACKED UP TRAFFIC. TODAY I GOT OUT OF THE WORK AROUND 2:30 PM AND WHILE GOING HOME IN BUSY TRAFFIC, IT STALLED IN AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A CAR BEHIND ME. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING AND CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN RECALLED.
