ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON A ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY. I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO START IT. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO TURN OVER BY ITSELF FOR A GOOD 10 SECONDS. WHEN IT RESTARTED, AFTER RELEASING THE BREAK MY CAR THRUST FORWARD. THEN STARTED TO SPUBER LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL AGAIN. AT THAT TIME 3 LIGHTS CAME ON ON THE DASH... THE CHECK ENGINE, STABILIZATION AND ANOTHER I'VE NEVER SEEN. WAS REAL CLOSE TO A DODGE DEARER WHERE I BEARLY MADE IT TO. WHEN I ASKED THE PERSON ABOUT THE TIGRIS LIGHT COMING ON HE TOLD ME 'THAT MEANS GET IT IN ASAP! SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG IS WITH THE VEHICLE.' THE CAR HAS JUST OVER 30K MILES AND I KNOW IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CAR DIES (STALLS, DOESN'T RUN, ETC.) WHILE DRIVING.. OR WHEN STOPPED, OR WHENEVER IT WANTS. IT WILL RESTART AND THEN DRIVE FOR A WHILE AND THEN DIE AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T EVEN COME ON AFTER SEVERAL STALLS BUT EVENTUALLY IT CODED WITH P2172 WHICH IS "THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM - SUDDEN HIGH AIRFLOW DETECTED". THE CAR IS BEING TOWED (AS OF THIS WRITING) TO THE SELLING DEALER LARRY MILLER DODGE IN PEORIA AZ FOR SERVICE. PERSONAL NOTE: THE MANUFACTURER/DEALER SHOULD BUY THIS CAR BACK... IT'S HAD 2 RECALLS (ONE FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND ANOTHER FOR THE ENTIRE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED) AND ALREADY HAD THE A/C REPLACED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLES GAUGES MAKE A NOISY CLICKING SOUND AFTER YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND THE LIGHTS ON THE STEERING WHEEL TOGGLE ON AND OFF WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING.IT CONTINUES FOR 30 TO 60 MINUTES. YOU CAN TAKE THE KEY OUR AND IT STILL DOES IT. THIS PREVENTS ME FROM TAKING ANY REST STOP WHEN DROWSY AND HAS NEARLY KILLED ME. THE NOISE KEEPS THE DRIVER AWAKE WHEN THEY TRY TO STOP AND SLEEP.IT FORCES THE DRIVER TO DRIVE DROWSY. THE DEALERSHIP IS APPARENTLY UNABLE TO REPAIR IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND IT'S DONE IT EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. IT'S THE MOST DANGEROUS CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN.

MY DODGE DART WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER GOING TO THE STORE. I WENT INSIDE TO PUT DOWN MY THINGS. WHEN I WENT BACK INTO MY GARAGE TO CLOSE IT, I HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE. AT THIS POINT MY CAR BEGAN TO ROLL DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. THE CAR ROLLED ACROSS THE STREET AND CRASHED INTO MY NEIGHBORS 2 VEHICLES. AFTER GOING BACK INTO MY HOUSE AND GETTING MY KEYS, I UNLOCKED THE CAR AND FOUND THE PARKING BRAKE/EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD BEEN RELEASED.*DT*JB

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
'TAKATA RECALL' ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER. THE 2ND DAY SAME THING WOULDN'T START AND HAD TO END UP GETTING JUMPER CABLES. THE 3RD IN THE MORNING AGAIN SOME TROUBLE BUT NO CABLES WERE NEEDED. BUT LATER THAT AFTERNOON I HAD TO GO TO MY CHILD'S SCHOOL. GOT DOWN FOR WHAT WAS NO MORE THAN ABOUT 7MINS CAME BACK AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START. HAD TO GET CABLES. SOON AS WE GOT THE CAR GOING WENT TO AUTOZONE AND THEY CHECKED IT SAYING IT WAS THE BATTERY. SO I BOUGHT ANOTHER BATTERY THEN AND THERE. HOOKED IT UP. THE CAR TURNED IN FINE BUT MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO STIFF TO TURN BUT I HAD TO GO. AND LUCKY ME IT WASN'T A FAR DRIVE AND PRETTY STRAIGHT. ABOUT 3 DAYS FROM THEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THAT ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS REPROGRAM THE MODULE. BUT THEY CALL BACK 15MINS LATER SAYING THEY COULDN'T DO IT BECAUSE THE MODULE WASN'T COMMUNICATING BACK AND THAT THEY NEED $230 TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC SO THEY CAN KNOW WHAT WAS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO SPARE AT THE TIME. SO I SAID NOT NOW. ONCE THEY BROUGHT MY CAR AROUND, THEY LET ME KNOW THAT NOW THE OVERHEARING LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THEY LOOKED AT IT. ON THE WAY HOME THE CAR TURNED OFF AT A MAIN STREET, LUCKY US I GOT TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AS IT TURNED OFF ALL WHILE I,HUSBAND,AND MY DAUGHTERS. TURNED IT BACK ON AND CAME BACK ON FINE. THEN ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS COME HOME AND HOPE THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF AGAIN. THE AIR,HEADLIGHT,AND BLUETOOTH CAN NOT RUN AT THE SAME TIME CAUSE THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHT WILL FLICKER AND THEN THE CAR WILL TURN OFF.

I HAVE A 2016 DODGE DART WITH A 2.4 LITER ENGINE. THE CAR HAS 16000 MILES ON IT. STARTING THIS WEEK, THE CAR SOMETIMES WILL NOT START. I WOULD PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, TURN TO START AND NOTHING. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON BUT IT WON'T TURN OVER. I FOUND OUT BY ACCIDENT IF YOU MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER THROUGH THE GEARS IT WILL START. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS MY FOB NEEDED A BATTERY REPLACEMENT, SO I REPLACED IT ONLY TO SEE THAT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM!

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.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE WHEN TRYING TO STOP . BRAKES WOULD PRESS DOWN BUT NOT SLOW THE VEHICULAR DOWN. THE BRAKES WOULD RANDOMLY FAIL WHEN STOPPING ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND IN URBAN AREAS. ALONG WITH THAT THE COMPUTER WOULD FAIL AND THE ABS LIGHT,THE ENGINE LIGHT , AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON ALONG WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT. ALL THE PROBLEMS HAPPEN OVER TIME AND RANDOMLY OCCURRED. THE FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING A NEWER CAR ! I HAVE HAD A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE BECUSE THIS HAPPENED GOING DOWN HILL AND I HAD TO WAY TO STOP TILL THE LAST MINOR AS THERE WAS A SHARP TURN PLEASE I JUST WANT THE CAR FIXED.EVERY OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICULAR WAS OPERATING AND IN MOTION

THIS IS THE THIRD COMPLAINT I HAVE FIELD ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING. AT 50,281 MILES MY CARS MOTOR TURNED OFF WILE I WAS DRIVING. USUALLY IT WILL GO ABOUT 1000 MILES OR SO BEFORE IT TURNS OFF AGAIN. THIS TIME WAS A BIT SOONER. WHILE LEAVING MY HOUSE TO TAKE MY BROTHERS INHALER TO HIS SCHOOL, MY CAR TURNED OFF. I HAD JUST GOT DOWN TO THE END OF THE STREET AND STARTED TO TURN OFF OF SUNNYSLOPE LN AND ONTO 95TH AVE AND MY CAR TURNED OFF. THIS TIME A LADY IN A WHITE LEXUS SUV ALMOST HIT MY CAR BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE QUICKLY. THANK GOD FOR THAT LADYS LEXUS BEING ABLE TO STOP IN TIME.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. COULD BE GOING AS SLOW AS 15MPH TO AS FAST AS 70 MPH. THIS TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN CALIFORNIA WHILE ON VACATION. I GOT TO THE END OF THE STREET AND BOOM ENGINE SHUTS OFF. TO RESTART THE CAR YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, CHANGE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I HAVE SINCE STARTED RECORDING THE MILEAGE WHEN IT HAPPENS. MILEAGE WAS AT 49,218

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THE LAST TIME MY MILEAGE WAS AT 49,218 THIS TIME MY MILEAGE WAS AT 51,068. BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS: WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE (MOSTLY ON CITY STREETS) THE CARS ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE CAR YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE CAR. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT I NEED IT FIXED BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES.
