FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AT 40,000 MILES AFTER 3 YRS 5 MONTHS THE CAR HAD A STRONG FUEL ODOR. I REALIZED THE GAS IS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. IT TURNED OUT THE PLASTIC HOUSE OF THE FUEL PUMP WAS BROKEN AT THE CONNECTOR AND THE GAS WAS LEAKING WHILE THE SYSTEM WAS UNDER PRESSURE. WHICH MEANS WHENEVER THE CAR IS RUNNING AND THE IGNITION IS ON, THE FUEL IS LEAKING. THE SYSTEM PRESSURE IS 58 PSI (+- 5 PSI) SO YOU CAN LOSE A LOTS OF FUEL IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. ON THE ATTACHED PICTURE THE 2 STRAIGHT LINE IS NOT A CRACK. IT IS THE FUEL COMING OUT WITH A HIGH PRESSURE. DEFECTIVE PART NUMBER: 68084383AD (DODGE) REPLACEMENT PART NUMBER: 68166589AC (DODGE) MY CAR HAS NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENT NOR A FENDER BENDER. IT IS IMMACULATE. DODGE SHOULD EVALUATE THE FREQUENCY OF THIS PROBLEM AND ANNOUNCE A RECALL. I CONSIDER THIS AS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL I BOUGHT A DODGE DART 2015 UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE DAY OF JULY 19, 2016. AFTER THE 3 DAYS THE CAR STOP WORKING WHEN I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AT STOPLIGHT. I CALLED A TOW TO TAKE IT TO MY AUTOMARKET TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS THE GAS BOMB PROBLEM WHICH ITS COVERED AS THE AUTOMARKET SAID. ONE WEEK LATER DODGE CRAYSLER RAM CALLED ME TO SAY THAT WHEN THEY OPENED THE GAS BOMB THE MECHANIC FOUND WATER INSIDE SO SOME PARTS WERE CONTAMINATED AND THE FACTORY WARRANTY DOESNT COVERED. THEY SAID THAT THOSE THINGS HAPPENED AND IS NOBODY FAULT BUT I HAVE TO PAY THEM FOR THE SERVICE A TOTAL OF 1140 DLLS WHICH I DON'T HAVE . MY DEALER WHO'S MAZDA EL CAJON DOESN'T WANT TO USE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EITHER AND ALSO WANT ME TO PAY. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP WITH THE PURCHASE OF MY FIRST CAR THANK YOU

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY KEY FOB GETS STUCK INSIDE THE IGNITION. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO DODGE IN JULY. THEY CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG. WHEN I TOLD THEM I HAD TO KEEP TURNING MY WHEEL TO GET MY KEY TO RELEASE AND MY DAD CAME UP THERE AND LET THEM KNOW HE SAW IT WITH HIS OWN EYES AND WASN'T GOING TO ACCEPT THAT, THEY REEXAMINED THE CAR AND SAID THEY FOUND A BUR IN THE IGNITION BLOCKING THE KEY FROM RELEASING THE KEY. THEY KEPT MY CAR 5 DAYS TO ORDER A NEW IGNITION CYLINDER, SO THEY CLAIM WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE. LESS THAN A MONTH, I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I PHONED THE SERVICE MANAGER, HE TOLD ME TO PUT SHIFT THE CAR GEARS AND IT SHOULD RELEASE THE KEY. IT DID ON 8/13/16. HE SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ELECTRICAL ISN'T RECOGNIZING THE CAR IS IN PARK. BUT I THOUGHT THE NEW IGNITION CYLINDER TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM BACK IN JULY I TOLD HIM. HE SAID IT COULD BE A STENOID PROBLEM BUT WON'T KNOW UNTIL I BRING THE CAR BACK. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO KEEP SPENDING ON CAR RENTAL INSURANCE AND TIME TO KEEP BEING INCONVENIENCED BECAUSE DODGE FAILED TO INSPECT THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THEIR CAR.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2013 1.4L TURBO DART WAS IN SERVICE WITHIN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. WAS INFORMED THAT MY SLAVE CYLINDER, MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS UNDER RECALL. ENDED UP IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE MY ABS FAILED AND MY CAR SLID. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT DOES HAVE TO DO WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER. WAS TOLD BY DODGE PARTS WERE ON ORDER, I CALL AND THEY HAVE NO RECORD AND THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. WHEN IT WAS INSPECTED WAS INFORMED THE THREE ABOVE PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY SAID IT WAS ALL RECALL PARTS. OF COURSE NO FORMS OR DOCUMENTATION WAS GIVEN AT THE APPOINTMENT.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
RIGHT NOW I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY EVAP SYSTEM, TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. WITH THE EVAP SYSTEM I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT AND I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP AS THE SYSTEM STATED AND I STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. THE ENGINE ISSUE NOW IS THAT THE CAR IS VERY HESITANT THAN FROM BEFORE. ESPECIALLY IN FIRST GEAR. I HAVE TO REV THE ENGINE TO GET GOING SOMETIMES. I ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. NOW THE CLUTCH GOES TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE OR STICKS TO THE FLOOR WHEN I AM ON THE ROAD FOR A WHILE OR WHEN IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR AND FEW MONTHS AND IT JUST GETS WORSE. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR IS UNSAFE.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON ANYTIME THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE AROUND 85 DEGREES. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED 2-3 TIMES SINCE 2013. INTERIOR LIGHTS SOMETIMES FLICKER. THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF RANDOMLY AND NOW IT CAN'T "FIND" THE MAPS. THEY ARE JUST GONE SOMEHOW. THE SD CARD SLOT WORKS SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHERS, SAME WITH THE BACKUP CAMERA. DODGE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY UNABLE TO FIX THESE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
CAR WOULDN'T START HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTING HARNESS WITHIN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS OF OWNING THE CAR HAD TO REPLACE TWO BATTERIES EVEN AFTER THE HARNESS WAS REPLACED BUT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE. HAD TO REPLACE THE TURBO HOSE ASSEMBLY FROM PULLING IN OIL AND CRACKED SINCE THE OIL WAS HOT. NOW IM HAVING TO PUT IN A QUART OF OIL IN IT EVERY MONTH AND I CHANGE MY OIL EVERY TWO AND HALF MONTHS (5,000 MILES) SO MY ENGINE IS BURNING THE OIL OFF TO QUICKLY (OIL CONSUMPTION). ALSO DROVE HIT A VERY SMALL POTHOLE AND HAD MY DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM SNAP VERY VERY CLEANLY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTIES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, SUSPENSION
I HAVE HAD MY 2013 DODGE DART ONLY 2 YEARS AND AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THE PURCHASE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES. JUST YESTERDAY I HAD TO PUT IT IN THE THE SHOP TO HAVE THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM THAT I NEEDED TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE NAVIGATION SERVICE. ARE THEY KIDDING ME, I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY UNIT, DUE TO THE FACT IT GOES COMPLETELY OUT WITH A WHITE SCREEN AND IT JUST DOES NOT WORK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY, THE ENGINE IS RUNNING ROUGH. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AT MY COST OF $150.00 NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT ONE. THE SPEEDOMETER IS INCORRECT, THE INTERIOR LIGHT RATTLES AND DRIVES ME CRAZY ON LONG TRIPS. I HAVE HAD TO TAKEN IT IN FOR SEVERAL FRONT END ALIGNMENTS AT MY COST. IT JUST WILL NOT STAY ALIGNED, ITS SO FRUSTRATING AND COSTLY. BUT THE REAL SCARY ITEM IS WHEN IT FELT LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND HAD LOW TO NO ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING, I SLOWLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE RIDE AND TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL GOING, I TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND IT WAS STILL CRANKED. I AM PRAYING THAT THEY GET THESE CARS OFF THE ROAD AND PUT THEM IN A BUY BACK PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY ARE A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC. I AM SO UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED WITH MY DODGE THAT I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER.
