STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NO OIL LIGHT ON, NO ENGINE LIGHT, AND IT STALLED. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH OIL CONSUMPTION WITH THE 2.4 ENGINE. MY CAR DIED AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND STARTING A TURN. Y CAR STALLED OUT TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS VERY DANGEROUS. BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, MUSIC CONTINUED, BUT ENGINGE JUST DIED. THE STEERING WHEEL FROZE (NO MORE POWER STEERING), AND I COULDN'T PRESS MY BRAKE DOWN, IT JUST SAT THERE IN THE ROAD. I CHECKED THE LEVEL OF MY OIL AND IT DOESN'T EVEN COVER THE CURVED PART OF THE DIPSTICK, THAT'S HOW LOW IT IS.THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN, A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. THE CAR IS NOT INDICATING WHEN IT NEEDS OIL, AND IS SHUTTING ITSELF OFF SO IT DOESN'T OVER HEAT WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS 70MPH+ AND IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS WHILE TURNING.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE SHIFTS IMPROPERLY AND WHEN STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR IT COULD EITHER SLOWLY GET UP TO DESIRED SPEED OR THE ENGINE DOES NOT INITIALLY RESPOND BUT WILL THEN GET TO A HIGH RPM AND THERE IS A SURGE IN POWER AND YOU ARE PROPELLED FORWARD. IN ADDITION TO THIS THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN BRAKING. THE ENGINE STARTS TO STUTTER AND FAILS WHEN RETURNING TO A STOP BUT WILL EITHER GET BACK UP AND RUNNING IF YOU DON'T STOP ENTIRELY OR IT WILL STALL WHICH WILL THEN REQUIRE YOU TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE STREET AND WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY HAS HAPPENED AS WELL

WELL FOR STARTERS. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FAULTY THERMOSTAT. I WENT AND HAD IT REPLACED AND NOW EVER SINCE I GOT THAT REPLACED I NOTICED MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE FLUCTUATIONS. IT HAS PLENTY OF FLUID INSIDE THE RADIATOR SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS. I STARTED TO NOTICE IT EVERY TIME WHEN I'M PARKED IN ONE PLACE. I NEED THIS PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED RIGHT AWAY.

BURNING OIL EVER SINCE WE BOUGHT IT, CONSTANTLY HAVING TO ADD OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS WITHIN SPECS. CONTACTED CHRYLSER CARE ABOUT ISSUES AS WELL. STILL HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. VERY DISAPPOINTED, A NEW CAR SHOULD NOT BURN/CONSUME 1 TO 2 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE DRIVEN MY 2015 DODGE DART WITHOUT ISSUE TILL 2/15/17. IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WIFE DRIVING THE INTERSTATE ON I40. THE FOLLOWING DAY IT DIED AND MY FATHER IN LAW HAD TO JUMP THE VEHICLE OFF TO GET IT GOING. TODAY, (2/17/17), I DECIDED TO DRIVE THE CAR TO WORK BECAUSE MY COMMUTE IS SHORTER AND MUCH LESS DANGEROUS. I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND DROVE TO THE END OF THE ROAD TILL I GOT TO THE MAIN STREET IN OUR HOMETOWN, AND IT DIED THANKFULLY BEFORE I GOT ON THAT STREET. THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY STOPS. STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. ALL ELECTRONICS IN VEHICLE STOP. BRAKING IS SLIGHTLY DELAYED. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN TOWN AND THEY SAID TO CHECK THE OIL. WE DID AND HAD THEM CHANGE IT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS HIGHWAY DRIVING WHERE PEOPLE DRIVE 60+ MPH AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER INTO THE SHOULDER.
