ENGINE
AFTER THE CAR SITS IN THE HOT FLORIDA SUN FOR ABOUT 8-10 HOURS FROM MORNING TO ABOUT 2:30-3:00 THE CAR STARTS FINE AND THEN I START DRIVING AND WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO COME TO A STOP, THE CAR STALLS. THEN IT STARTS BACK UP AGAIN WHEN I PUSH THE START BUTTON. THIS HAPPENS IN FLORIDA SUMMER, NOT DURING THE "WINTER" MONTHS.

AIR BAGS
ON 3/7/2019, I TOTALED MY CAR AS I WAS T-BONED. THIS ACCIDENT BROKE MY AXLE, AND DENTED IN MY DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD NOT OPEN IT. MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACKSEAT AND SMACKED HER FACE OFF OF THE SEAT AND WINDOW BRUISING THE WHOLE SIDE OF HER FACE AND GIVING HER A BLACK EYE. FOR SOME REASON, NO AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. I WAS HOPEFUL AT FIRST, THAT MAYBE IT DIDN'T DEPLOY SINCE IT WAS A "SMALL" ACCIDENT, BUT NOW THAT THE CAR IS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS, I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS SITUATION. WHEN I WAS T-BONED, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A STOP SIGN (AFTER MAKING MY STOP) TO WHICH I DID NOT SEE A CAR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A CAR TURNING TOWARDS ME. THIS CAR WAS GOING APPROX 30-40 MPH (IF FOLLOWING STREET SIGNS). THIS CAR'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, YET MY DAUGHTERS, ON HER DOOR, FAILED TO DEPLOY. THIS CAR DID NOT HIT ME UNTIL I WAS ALMOST TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. I ALSO SAW HER AT THE LAST MINUTE AND INSTEAD OF BREAKING (A NORMAL REACTION) I TRIED TO SPEED UP TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. IF THE SAFETY INFORMATION ONLINE IS CORRECT, IT STATES THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR FOR THE SIDE-REAR IMPACT IS BETWEEN THE TIRE AND THE REAR DOOR, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHERE I WAS HIT.

I HAVE A 2016 DODGE DART SXT THAT I BOUGHT OVER A YEAR AGO WHEN IT HAD 20, XXX MILES ON IT, IT NOW HAS 46,XXX MILES ON IT, IT DOES THE WEIRDEST THING, I WILL BE DRIVING IT AND IT JUST DIES AND DOESN'T WANT TO START BACK UP UNTIL A COUPLE MINUTES LATER, IT IS EMBARRASSING AND A TRAFFIC HAZZARD TO BE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OR AT A STOP LIGHT, IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS OFF AND ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, IT WASNT UNTIL RECENTLY THAT I REALIZED THAT THIS IS HAPPENING EVERY TIME THAT MY OIL CHANGE PERCENTAGE IS AT 25% OR BELOW, SO I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING AND IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS , THEY ARE CONSUMING OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES TO THE POINT THE ENGINE IS 1 TO 2 QUARTS LOW AND A SENSOR DETECTS THAT AND IS STALLING THE ENGINE TO PROTECT IT, DOES THIS CAR NOT HAVE AN OIL LIGHT TO DETECT WHEN THE OIL IS LOW? HOW IS THE WAY THEY HAVE THIS SET UP LEGAL? THEY NEED TO RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE ENGINE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES !

ENGINE
MY 2016 DODGE DART STALLED AT A STOPLIGHT WHILE IDLING. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL IN MY CAR. IF IT GETS TOO LOW THE CAR WILL STALL. I HAD JUST CHANGED MY OIL ABOUT 3 MONTHS BEFOREHAND WITH THE CORRECT WEIGHT AND AMOUNT OF OIL ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL. BUT WHEN I CHECKED, SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS ALMOST NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. APPARENTLY THESE CARS BURN OIL AND DODGE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET THAT I HAVE FOUND. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND YOU GET HIT BECAUSE YOUR CAR DIES. ALSO I WONDER HOW LONG THE CAR WILL LAST WHILE BURNING OIL THE WAY IT DOES. AS A SINGLE FATHER TAKING CARE OF 3 KIDS BY MYSELF I CANNOT JUST GO OUT AND GET A NEW CAR WHENEVER I WANT. THIS IS VERY IRRITATING.

I HAVE A 2016 DODGE DART WITH 63K ON IT. MY 16 YEAR OLD DRIVES IT AND THREE DAYS AGO SHE IS PULLING OUT SCHOOL AND THE CAR CUTS OFF. SHE HAS HAVE IT JUMPED WE TAKE IT TO GET BATTERY CHECKED AND ALTERNATOR. IT SHOWS BATTERY IS NO GOOD SO WE REPLACE BATTERY. THE NEXT MORNING AND SHE ON WAY TO WORK AND IT CUTS OFF AGAIN SO WE GET IT RUNNING AND DRIVE IT AROUND AND CUTS OFF TWICE MORE. I CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY TEST IT AND TELL ME IT IS 2 QUARTS LOW ON OIL AND IT WILL CUT OFF. WE HAVE HAD NO INDICATOR LIGHT THAT OIL WAS LOW THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED LESS THEN TWO MONTHS AGAIN. THEY GO TO SAY WE CAN REQUEST A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN 500 MILES AND PROCEED TO GIVE ME SERVICE BULLETIN ON OIL CONSUMPTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WHAT IF WE ARE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND IT JUST CUTS OFF! I ASK WHY IT'S BURNING OIL IF IT'S OIL LEAK AND THEY SAY THERE NO LEAK BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE OIL IS GOING AND IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM IN DARTS TO CHECK OIL EVERY 500 MILES.
