WHEELS
NEED TO REPLACE ALL 20 LUG NUTS THEY ARE ALL SWOLLEN AND HAVE TO BANG THEM OFF BECAUSE TOOLS DON'T FIT BECAUSE IT'S EITHER TO BIG OR TOO SMALL. NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ANY OF MY CAR EVER. SWOLLEN LUG NUTS ARE FROM THE WAY THESE LOOK NUTS ARE MANUFACTURER FROM THE DEALER THEY GET MOISTURE IN THEM MAKING THEM SWELL. IF THEY KNOW THEY SWELL WHY MAKE THE LUG NUTS WITH THAT CAP COATING THAT EVENTUALLY CAUSES IT? THEY ARE $12 A PIECE..I NEED 20. $240 FOR DEFECTIVE LUG NUTS THAT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP BUYING IS DRAFT.. CAN'T BUY THOSE FANCY PRETTY LUG NUTS LIKE OTHER CARS.. SOMEONE IF YOU HAVE THE SWOLLEN LUG NUT ISSUE REPORT IT PLEASE. HOPEFULLY THEY'LL SUBMIT A RECALL AND STOP MAKING THOSE LUG NUTS

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
THE AIR BAGS ON THIS CAR FAILED TO DEPLOY FROM A BAD CAR ACCIDENT. MY CAR WAS HIT NEAR THE RIGHT FRONT FROM A PERSON THAT RAN A RED LIGHT. THE FRONT END DAMAGE WAS HORRIBLE TO SAY THE LEAST AS TO WHERE THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER SAID TO ME THAT THE CAR HAS TO BE TOTALED. EXTENSIVE FRAME DAMAGE FROM THIS ACCIDENT AND DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAD NEVER DEPLOYED FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. THE CONSUMER OWNS ANOTHER VEHICLE SAME MAKE/MODEL AND QUESTIONS IF THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE PREVIOUS VEHICLE FAILING. *JS *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY GRAND MOTHER WAS DRIVING HER 2014 DODGE DART AND HER ELECTRONIC DASH CLUSTER QUIT WORKING WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. THE DASH CLUSTER IN HER CAR IS THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALL NECESSARY GAUGES AND DISPLAYS. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I THINK THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE RECENT RECALL ON THE NEW DODGE'S THAT HAD A RECALL ON THE DASH CLUSTERS ALSO. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THAT THE DASH CLUSTERS WERE ON BACKORDER BECAUSE THEY ARE REPLACING THAT MANY OF THEM. MY GRANDMA WAS DRIVING IN TOWN LESS THAN 35 MPH ZONE. SHE SAID THAT THE DISPLAY WAS THERE THEN GONE. SHE WAS NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED. SHE WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS WORKING OR NOT WORKING ON HER CAR SHE MADE IT HOME AND PARKED THE CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I'M DRIVING, MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND WOULDN'T MOVE. THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON, ALTHOUGH I HAVE A BRAND NEW BATTERY THAT I GOT A YEAR AGO, AND WHEN I TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF TO RESTART IT, IT WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. I FOUND A RECALL AND HAD THE RECALL FIXED AND IT IS NOW WORSE WITH SHIFTING THAN IT WAS BEFORE, AND IT'S STILL STALLING AND LOSING COMPLETE POWER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AS IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH, IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY ENOUGH, I WAS AT THE END OF MY STREET, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WENT TO DRIVE AGAIN AND THAT'S WHEN IT LOST POWER.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION TO 'SERVICE AIR BAG' AND MY CAR SHOWS THE PASSENGER SEATBELT ISN'T BUCKLED, EVEN WHEN IT IS. THIS CAUSES MY CAR TO MAKE NOISES AT ME THE WHOLE TIME I'M DRIVING. IT HAS ALSO RAISED CONCERNED OF WHETHER MY AIRBAGS ARE FUNCTIONING, AND IF I AND ANYONE WHO RIDES WITH ME IS SAFE DRIVING/RIDING IN THIS CAR.. I JUST HAD THE BUSHING FOR THE SHIFTER CABLE REPAIRED.. NOW ANOTHER DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH MY DART.

ENGINE
I HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO CHECK MY OIL CONSISTENTLY. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE WITH 68,089. CHECKED OIL AND IT WAS FULL. AT 69,089 I CHECKED OIL AND WAS 2 QUARTS LOW!! SO I FILLED IT AND CALLED DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY COULD DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BUT THAT IT'S NORMAL FOR VEHICLES TO BURN OIL( ABOUT 1 QUART PER 1000 MILES. MY VEHICLE BURNED DOUBLE THAT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO FIND THAT MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ! DODGE SHOULD HAVE A REMEDY FOR A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. SINCE FILLING I HAVE BURNED 1 QUART IN 700 MILES.

THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY DIE WHILE DRIVING. WHILE PERFORMING A TURN AND THE CAR DIES IT LOCKS THE STEERING AND NO USE OF BRAKES. NOW THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT ALL. ALTERNATOR, BATTERY AND STARTER HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND STILL NOTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT HAS ALWAYS EVENTUALLY STARTED UP UNTIL RECENTLY.

I PURCHASED MY DODGE DART AT 21,000 MILES. 30,000 MILES CAR SHUTS OFF ON HIGHWAY. TOTAL POWER LOSS. DODGE WAS ABLE TO LIMIT THE PROBLEM HOWEVER RAN ROUGH AND AT ABOUT 45000 MILES CAR SHIFTED HARD NOW AT 70000 DODGE TELLS ME IT'S THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. 3,000 DOLLAR REPAIR. AT THIS POINT CAR IS NOT WORTH 3000. STILL SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE IS RECALLED FOR THE 2013 DART HOWEVER NOT MY VIN# ????? I SEE TONS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES EVEN CASES AGAINST DODGE FOR THIS MODEL. HOWEVER THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP ME OUT WITH ANY ISSUES I BRING TO THEIR ATTENTION. UNFORTUNATE. FOR ME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
POWER TRAIN & SENSORS RELATED ISSUES: I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY@ 45MPH IN TRAFFIC & ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEED IDLE DOWN TO 13MPH IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT ME PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, I PLACED MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON TO LET CARS BEHIND ME BE AWARE I WAS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. THE ENGINE SYMBOL ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH PANEL AS WITH A LIGHTENING BOLT SYMBOL, THE VEHICLE DID A SURGE IN SPEED WITHOUT THE GAS PEDAL BEING PRESSED, JERKED & SURGE IN SPEED AGAIN & I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKES TO SAFELY PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC TO GAIN COMPOSURE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH THE VEHICLE SUDDEN ERRACTIC BEHAVIOR. NO WARNING BEFORE HAND. I CUT THE VEHICLE OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. IT CRANKED UP & THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED STILL BUT THE LIGHTENING BOLT SYMBOL HADN'T. I CALLED TO SEE OF ANY RECALLS & THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE COMPUTER MODULE SOFTWARE. I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER FOR THE VEHICLE FROM THE RECALL ASSOCIATE TO CALL THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP & WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THE DODGE SERVICE ASSOCIATES, HIS SHEET DIDN'T CONTAIN THAT RECALL & WASN'T ABLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY ETC LIGHT WILL TURN ON IF I TAKE OFF TOO QUICKLY TO GET UP TO SPEED WITH TRAFFIC. IT HAS ALSO STARTED TO TURN OFF WHENEVER I HIT THE BRAKES TOO ABRUPTLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND DODGE WILL NOT EVEN LOOK AT IT UNLESS I PAY THEM 125 DOLLARS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY NOT MY FAULT. IT IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR SUED!
