ENGINE
VEHICLE HAS SCARING ON THE CYLINDER WALLS THAT IS SOAKING UP OIL AND CAUSING A EXCESSIVE OIL LOSS, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN WHEN TAKING A CORNER AND NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD A FEW TIMES NOT ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN ME HAVING TO JUMP START IT TO BE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2.4L TIGERSHARK ENGINES. I AM AFRAID I WILL BE STRANDED ON A BUSY STREET AND THE POSSIBILITY TO BE HIT. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE SELLING DEALERSHIP AND IS TELLING ME THAT CHRYSLER IS DENYING THE CLAIM FOR A ENGINE REPLACEMENT, THEY ARE TELLING THE TECH TO GIVE ME AN OIL CHANGE AND SEND ME ON MY WAY.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS STOPPED AT A 4WAY STOP AND WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD THE CAR STALLED ON ME AND DID NOT MOVE. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES, LET GO AND PRESSED ON THE GAS AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME THE DASH READ "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE, SWITCH TO NEUTRAL AND THEN TO DRIVE OR REVERSE." I DID THAT BUT IT STILL STALLED ON ME AND THEN THE DASH READ "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. AFTER ONE MORE TRY I MANAGED TO GET IT TO MOVE SO I JUST PARKED IT IN AN EMPTY PARKING SLOT AND CALLED MY DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AS I TYPE THIS I'M AWAITING A CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF MY DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN TELL ME WHAT WENT WRONG. I HOPE IT CAN BE FIXED.

ENGINE
MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2015 DODGE DART ON THE ROAD AND IT COMPLETELY STALLED ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT THEN STARTED UP AGAIN AND DROVE. CAR WOULD NOT START AT SCHOOL UNTIL MANY TRIES. CAR 1 DAY LATER, 09202017, STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND AND THANK GOD NO CARS WERE BEHIND HIM FOR A REAR END ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION ! DEALER INDICATED THE CAR WAS LOW ON OIL (ONLY 25% OIL LEFT). NO ENGINE OIL LIGHT HAS COME ON TO EVER WARN US. ADDITIONALLY, THE DODGE DART FORM WEBSITE INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DART'S 2.4L ENGINE CONSUMING 1 QUART OR MORE EVERY 2,000 MILES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A NEW CAR TO BURN THIS MUCH OIL AND CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF PROTECTION WHILE ON A FREEWAY OR BUSY ROAD WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. DEALERS ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO SAY AND DON'T INVESTIGATE THIS ENGINE PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE HELP THIS COMMUNITY OF CAR OWNERS BEFORE ACCIDENTS OCCUR AND LOSS OF VEHICLE ENGINES AT GREAT EXPENSE TO OWNER. MANY PEOPLE ON THE MENTIONED FORUM ALSO INDICATE THEIR OIL LOW LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON TO WARN THEM BEFORE THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF "WHILE DRIVING"

SUSPENSION
ON MARCH 31, 2017, I HIT A CURB WITH THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE OF MY VEHICLE DAMAGING PARTS OF THE SUSPENSION, INCLUDING THE CONTROL ARM, AS WELL AS THE BODY. AT THE TIME, I ASSUMED THAT WHEN I HIT THE CURB, MY WHEEL WAS TURNED, WHICH CAUSED THE DAMAGE TO THE SUSPENSION. CAR WAS REPAIRED. AT TIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE A CLUNKING NOISE WHILE TURNING LEFT OR WHEN ACCELERATING. ALSO AT TIMES, AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE. ON AUGUST 17, 2017, I WAS STOPPED TO YIELD FOR A VEHICLE CROSSING A ONE LANE BRIDGE. THIS BRIDGE WAS FLAT AND SMOOTH, WITH A CURVE AROUND TO THE LEFT IN MY DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. I STARTED MOVING TO GO OVER THE BRIDGE AND WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 5-10 M.P.H., AS I APPROACHED THE LEFT CURVE, I STARTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY LEFT IN ANTICIPATION OF THE CURVE. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME NON RESPONSIVE AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE KEPT GOING LEFT, CAUSING ME TO IMPACT A CURB AND GUARD RAIL, AGAIN ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT. THE BODY SHOP SAID I HAD TO HAVE HIT SOMETHING TO SNAP THE BRAND NEW CONTROL ARM. I HIT NOTHING PRIOR TO IMPACT WITH THE CURB AND GUARD RAIL. THERE IS MINIMAL BODY DAMAGE BUT THE CONTROL ARM IS SNAPPED. I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS SOME TYPE OF POSSIBLE DEFECT WITH THE CONTROL ARM THAT WOULD CAUSE IT TO FRACTURE AND SNAP, LEADING TO MY LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND COLLISION. I HAVE READ WHERE DEFECTIVE CONTROL ARMS HAVE BEEN NOTED ON OTHER DODGE VEHICLES.
