AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING CAR NORMALLY. I PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND WENT INTO A STORE. WHEN I CAME OUT TO START THE CAR IT WOULD NOT START. CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AUTO ZONE WAS IN THE PLAZA SO I HAD THE GUY COME OUT AND DO A DIAGNOSTIC. CODES WERE P0123, P2122, P2127, P0222, U0401. WHEN THE GUY WENT BACK INTO THE STORE THE CAR STARTED. WHEN I PARKED AGAIN 10 MINUTES LATER THE CHECK ENGINE AND CHARGE LIGHT DISAPPEARED. CAR RAN FINE FOR ONE DAY. ABOUT 33 HOURS AFTER THAT INCIDENT I PARKED THE CAR AT A PARK FOR LUNCH FROM WORK. TOOK A WALK AND WHEN I RETURNED CAR NEVER CAME ON. DASH WAS FLICKERING, ALL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, MILEAGE WAS FLASHING, GAUGES WERE FLICKERING, CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. ACTED AS IF BATTERY WAS DEAD. HAD TO WALK BACK TO WORK AND HAVE CAR TOWED BY AAA AFTER WORK. CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 4 DAYS AND WILL NOT TURN ON. NEW MESSAGES CAME UP: CHECK ELECTRIC BRAKING SYSTEM, CHECK AIR BAGS, SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM AND CHECK ANTI LOCK BRAKES SYSTEM. THE TIRE LIGHT IS ON ME BECAUSE A SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER TIRE BROKE WHEN I GOT A FLAT HITTING A CURB WHILE PARKING. I REPLACED THE TIRE BUT NOT THE SENSOR. ALSO NOW THE UCONNECT AND RADIO NOT COMING ON AND BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON, AND WHEN I MADE ATTEMPT TO START A MESSAGE CAME UP STATING ENGINE WARMING UP??? THAT WAS WEIRD. THIS ALL HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHIN A TWO DAY SPAN. NOW I AM STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR I CANT DRIVE THAT IS GOING CRAZY ELECTRONICALLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SO THIS IS LIKE THE THIRD(3) TIME THAT MY BATTERY HAS GONE DEAD. AT FIRST IT WAS THE STOCK BATTERY. THEN I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW ON AT MY LOCAL AUTO ZONE FOR $200 AND SOMETHING. THEN THE SAME THING KEEPS HAPPENING. ONCE IT HAPPENS THE STIRRING WHEEL BEGINS TO GET REALLY REALLY TIGHT UNTIL YOU CAN'T REALLY MOVE IT. ONE DAY MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING IT AND SHE GOT STOCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T MOVE IT. BUT IT IS REALLY SCARY BECAUSE YOU HAVE CARS BEHIND YOU DRIVING 60+MPH AND YOU PRAY THAT YOU DON'T GET HIT BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT NOBODY TO GET INJURED SPECIALLY YOU. HOPE DODGE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT. REALLY STARTING TO DISLIKE THE CAR I LOVE. :/

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
I HAVE HAD ISSUES SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE 26,000 MILES AND AM ON MY THIRD SET OF TIRES. THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THEY DO NOT FEEL ANYTHING IS WRONG YET THE TIRES KEEP WEARING OUT AND ONE RECENTLY HAD A BULGE, I COMPLAINED OF A WHIRLING SOUND AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TIRES, I REPLACED THE TIRES AND IT IS STILL THERE. I KEEP TAKING THE CAR IN AND IT IS ONE EXCUSE AFTER ANOTHER. I REPORT THE ISSUES TO DODGE AND THEY TELL ME TO GO TO THE DEALER. A MECHANIC AT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE CAR RUNS LIKE A TRACTOR TRAILER, IT IS IDLING AT 2,000 RPM IN PARK WHEN IT SHOULD BE 900 OR LESS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS AN ISSUE IN THE REAR END AND ENGINE MOUNT ISSUES. I'M AFRAID THE CAR WILL FALL APART WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME GET DODGE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUES ARE. THEY HAD THE AUDACITY TO TELL ME MY DRIVING HABITS ARE THE REASON I NEED TIRES EVERY 10,000 MILES. I HAVE A CAMARO THAT I DRIVE LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL AND GOT MY FIRST SET OF TIRES AT 50,000 MILES. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND NO ONE AT DODGE WILL HELP. WILL IT TAKE ME GETTING KILLED FOR SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING??

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
DRIVING ON THE OPEN ROAD THE CAR LOOSES POWER, CAN'T STEER CAN'T ACCELERATE. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING AT 70 MPH EVEN AT 35 THRU THE CITY. I HAVE NOTICED ONLINE OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND DODGE JUST SAYS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AS SOME ONE WILL DIE DRIVING THESE CARS IN THIS CONDITION!! READ WERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. HAPPENS MORE WHEN TURNING IN MY CASE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN INTERMITTENT SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR, I ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE BOTH BALLASTS AND BULBS REPLACED, STILL EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE INTERMITTENTLY. IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS A RECALL OR COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY PAST 40,000 THIS CAR HAS 50,000 AND I'M ALREADY GOING TO HAVE A COMPUTER MODULE REPLACED AS IT CONTROLS THE HEADLIGHTS THIS WILL NOT BE A CHEAP REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS MANY DART OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THE FOG LIGHTS ARE THE ONLY FORWARD FACING LIGHTS I HAVE THAT WORK AT TIMES, STATIONARY OR MOVING, OTHER TIMES IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER,

SHIFTING STICK IS STUCK, THE CAR APPEARS TO BE STUCK IN REVERSE BUT ACTUALLY IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL, THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND CAR WON'T TURN ON. DAY PRIOR TO THIS CAR WAS PARK ALL DAY, LATER IN THE EVENING IT WAS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 3-5 MILES AND PARKED WITHOUT AN ISSUE.

FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS I'VE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. MY CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING I'VE FILED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE REPROGRAMMED THE TCM AND PCM AND THAT SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM UP UNTIL TODAY, 09/16/2018. I GOT DOWN THE STREET AND MY CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE TURNING ONTO A BUSY STREET. I WAS ALMOST SIDE SWIPED AND THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS.

POWER TRAIN
I AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY TRANSMISSION. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I WILL GET A NOTIFICATION TO "SERVICE TRANSMISSION." AFTER THAT NOTIFICATION COMES UP MY CAR BECOMES SLOW TO RESPOND TO SHIFTING GEARS. I WILL ALSO NOT BE ABLE TO USE "REVERSE" AS IT WILL STATE THAT THE GEAR IS UNAVAILABLE. DRIVING IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR ARE DIFFICULT AS THE CAR TAKES FOREVER TO HIT A CERTAIN RPM. CAR WILL SOMETIMES NOT TURN ON AFTER THIS HAPPENS AND WILL REMAIN UNDRIVEABLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE COME TO FIND THAT DODGE DARTS 2013 AND NEWER HAVE ISSUES WITH BATTERIES GOING DEAD. I HAVE HAD TO GET THE BATTERY REPLACED IN 2015 AND AND NOW HAVING IT REPLACED AGAIN. OTHER DODGE DART OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ON MANY CAR BLOGS AND SIMILAR SITES. THERE IS NO REASON A CAR BUILT IN 2013 SHOULD GO THROUGH 3 BATTERIES IN 5 YEARS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT. I HAVE ATTACHED THE INVOICE FROM THE SERVICE IN 2015 AND CAN PROVIDE THE INVOICE FOR THIS SERVICE ONCE I RECEIVE IT.
