ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DODGE DART DRIVER WINDOW DOES NOT ROLL UP, ALSO WINDOW GETS STUCK IN AUTOMATIC MODE WHEN ROLLING DOWN. I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW MOTOR AND A NEW SWITCH BUT ISSUE STILL CONTINUES. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS THAT CUSTOMERS DISCUSS THIS SAME ISSUE. IF YOU TAKE THE SWITCH BOARD APART THERE IS SOME FAULTY SOLDERING THAT COULD BE AFFECTING THE WINDOW FROM ROLLING BACK UP. THIS ISSUED OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND NOT EVEN A MILE FROM MY HOUSE WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN MY 2014 DODGE DART SXT STALLED. WHEN IT STALLED THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND I SHUT IT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START THE NEXT TRY. THEN 7 DAYS LATER, I WAS DRIVING NO MORE THAN 30 SECONDS WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT ANOTHER STOP SIGN AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT COMING ON. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN A FEW TIMES BUT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. I NEEDED A JUMP. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO A MECHANIC WHO RAN A FEW TESTS ON THE CAR INCLUDING CHECKING THE BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM. HE SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD WHICH I FIGURED SINCE I JUST CHANGED THE BATTERY A YEAR AGO. I DROVE IT HOME. 2 DAYS LATER I WAS TWO BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE WHEN IT STALLED FOR A THIRD TIME (MIND YOU THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THESE OCCURRENCES). AGAIN, I WAS COMING TO A STOP AND THE CAR STALLED, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, AND I NEEDED TO HAVE A JUMP SINCE I COULDN'T GET IT TO START. AFTER RESEARCHING A BIT, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE. A FEW PEOPLE SAID THAT CHANGING THE OIL OR ADDING MORE DID THE TRICK SO I CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS FINE PLUS I CHANGED THE OIL 3 MONTHS AGO SO IT ISN'T THAT. MOST CASES MENTIONED THAT THIS STARTED TO OCCUR AROUND THE 50,000 MILE MARK, WHICH IS ABOUT WHERE MINE IS. THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR ' IT'S A DEATH TRAP! WHEN THE CAR STALLS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AS WELL SO IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. THIS ISSUE COULD REALLY HURT SOMEONE AND DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OR FIND A SOLUTION. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JENKINTOWN, PA TO GET LOOKED AT AND WAS INFORMED OF A FEW RECALLS BUT NONE THAT HAD TO DO WITH MY ISSUES. THE FACT THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A COMMON ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE SEEMS TO BE NO CLEAR SOLUTION.

THE SEATBELT SENSOR IN MY VEHICLE SEEMS TO NEVER GO OFF, A MECHANIC TOOK A LOOK AND SAID THE SEAT BELT SENSOR WAS BAD, HOW AT 61000 MILES IS MY SEATBELT SENSOR BAD? I'VE HAD TWO OPINIONS AND AFTER TALKING TO A DODGE REPRESENTATIVE I WAS TOLD I'D HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEATBELT SYSTEM OUT OF POCKET.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AT TIMES WILL SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, THE CAR SAYS SERVICE TRANSMISSION, SERVICE SHIFTER, AUTOSTICK UNAVAILABLE, GEAR NOT AVAILABLE AND PUT CAR IN REVERSE AND TRY ANOTHER GEAR AND A LOT OF LIGHTS SHOW UP ON THE DASH. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON FRIDAY 12/20/19 I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT AND THE CAR BEGAN TO BEEP AND STATING SERVICE TRANSMISSION ETC. AS STATED BEFORE, I THEN HAD SOME PEOPLE PUSH ME OFF THE ROAD SINCE THE CAR WILL JUST GO INTO NEUTRAL NO MATTER WHAT GEAR IT IS IN. AFTER THE CAR BEING LEFT THERE UNTIL SUNDAY 12/22/19 IT WOULD STILL NOT WORK, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOME. AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN, I WENT AROUND THE BLOCK AND ONCE GOING 40 MPH THE CAR STARTED BEEPING AND WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND SAYING ALL THE THINGS SAID BEFORE, I WAS PUSHED BACK HOME. THIS MORNING I TRIED IT AGAIN AND AS SOON AS I TURN IT ON IT STATES THE SAME SERVICE TRANSMISSION ETC. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TOWED 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS

AIR BAGS
AT 61000 MILES MY DODGE DART SXT HAS A SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM ALARM POP UP. I CONTACTED TWO DEALERSHIPS BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL OR OPEN WARRANTY FOR THIS. AS IT'S AIRBAGS, A SAFETY ISSUE I PUSHED THE SUBJECT A LITTLE HARDER WITH DODGE THEMSELVES AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. SAFETY IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE FIRST, AND UPON FURTHER RESEARCH THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE A BIT TO OTHER DODGE DART OWNERS FROM 2013 TO PRESENT WITH LITTLE TO KNOW KNOWLEDGE WHY. VEHICLE SITS IN MY BARK PARKED AREA AND IS DRIVEN VERY LITTLE SO SHOULDN'T ACTIVELY HAVE ISSUES LIKE THIS OCCUR.

MULTIPLE TIMES 4 TO BE EXACT MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MANY OF THESE FROM MY RESEARCH. ONCE I WAS GETTING ON AN EXPRESSWAY AND WAS ALMOST HIT ANOTHER TIME WAS TURNING ON A BUSY STREET ALMOST BEING HIT LUCKILY I WAS NOT. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD THE CAR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING NEW. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS THIS SEPTEMBER. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE NOTHING AND SAYS THEY KNOW IT HAPPENS BUT NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR IT. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED BEFORE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE ?
