SERVICE BRAKES
IN OCTOBER OF 2015, I WAS DRIVING IN THE 105 HIGHWAY & AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO TRAFFIC, THE BRAKES MADE A HIGH PITCHED SOUND LIKE AN AIR LEAKING. WE DID NOT GET THE VEHICLE CHECKED RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE I HAD ONLY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND IT WAS NEW. BY DECEMBER WE DECIDED TO HAVE OUR BRAKES CHECKED BY MY UNCLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAD TO ADD MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, AND THE NOISE WERE MORE CONTINUOUS. AFTER IT WAS CHECKED, MY UNCLE SAID THE BRAKES WERE STILL BRAND NEW AND HAD NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. BY JANUARY OF 2016, WE RECEIVED OUR FIRST SAFETY RECALL NOTICE REGARDING ALL DODGE DARTS OF YEARS 2013 AND 2014. I CONTACTED MY DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BUT I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD SEND A LETTER WHENEVER THEY HAD THE APPROPIATE PARTS READY. BY MARCH OF 2016, I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN AND TOLD ME THE SAME THING. AS OF TODAY, MAY 12, 2016, I HAVE RECEIVED ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL NOTICE AND NO LETTER OR NOTICE FROM MY DEALER. THE VEHICLE IS STILL MAKING THE NOISE AND WE STILL HAVE TO ADD PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES.

POWER TRAIN
AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 15 OR 20 MINUTES, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE SHIFTS ERRATICALLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JOLT AND OCCASIONALLY STALL. IT FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS TRYING TO DOWNSHIFT BEFORE RETURNING TO THE APPROPRIATE GEAR. PROCEEDING FORWARD OR TURNING MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS OVER A YEAR AGO AND WAS TOLD THE OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN THIS WEEK AFTER SEEING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS POTENTIALLY PART OF A NATIONAL RECALL BUT WAS TOLD I COULD BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO SERVICE BUT IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL (THE MAKE, MODEL AND DATE OF MANUFACTURE MATCH THE RECALL DATA BUT SINCE THE VIN ISN'T SPECIFICALLY LISTED AS BEING RECALLED ON THE SAFECAR.GOV WEB SITE IT WAS NOT COVERED). THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUES UNTIL THIS DAY.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2014 DODGE DART THAT IS BURNING OIL AT WHAT SEEMS TO ME TO BE AN ALARMING RATE. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP OVER 4 TIMES. I AM BEING TOLD I HAVE NO LEAKS AND MY CAR IS FINE, AND THAT IT IS CHARACTERISTIC THAT MY CAR NEEDS TO HAVE OIL ADDED EVERY 2K MILES. I DRIVE MY CAR TO AND FROM WORK AND I RARELY TRAVEL OUT OF STATE. I AM NOT OVER DRIVING OR ROUGH DRIVING MY CAR BY ANY MEANS. I HAVE SPENT OVER 1K DOLLARS IN RENTALS AND REPAIRS. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD SON THAT I DRIVE TO DAYCARE 4 DAYS A WEEK AND I CANNOT MENTALLY BE COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY SON IN A CAR THAT STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE ITS OUT OF OIL. DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING TO HELP ME AND I AM SEEKING LEGAL ACTION.

I JACKED THE CAR UP ONE DAY AND THE WHEEL WIGGLED A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. REPLACED BOTH REAR BEARINGS IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVING THEM TELL ME THE PARTS WERE NOT GOING TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 DODGE DART 2.4 TIGERSHARK ENGINE, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON ALL ELECTRONICS INSIDE THE CAR WERE STILL OPERATIVE. I HAD A WRECKER TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. LOOKED AT OIL AND IT WAS LOW. I WAS TOLD BY AUTO TECHNICAN THAT THE AUTO SHUTS IT'S SELF OFF WHEN IT IS LOW ON OIL. THIS IS A VERY ALARMING SITUATION IF IT WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC I CALLED CHRYSLER AND REPORTED THIS. THE CALL CENTER STATED THAT SHE HAD 2 PEOPLE CALL THE DAY BEFORE AND 3 ON THE DAY I CALLED WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM. SHE SAID ALL THE CARS HAD OVER 20,000 MILES ON THEM.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I'M EXPERIENCING LOST OF ENGINE TORQUE WHEN SHIFTING ON FIRST GEAR DUE TO CLUTCH OPERATION COMPONENTS PARTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IN ONE OCCASION I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO THE INTERSECTION, WHEN I ENGAGED FIRST GEAR AND TRY TO SHIFT TO SECOND GEAR THE CLUTCH WOULDN'T DISENGAGE OR COME BACK TO AT-REST POSITION. IT FELT LIKE AIR GOT INTO THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM MAKING A LOOSE CLUTCH LINE CONNECTION DURING THE RELEASE OF THE CLUTCH, AFTER I HIT THE PEDAL WITH MY FOOT A FEW TIMES I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO COME BACK TO AT-REST POSITION. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE SINCE MY KIDS WERE RIDING WITH ME.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE GAINING ACCELERATION ONTO THE FREEWAY, I WAS FORCED TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP. I HAD PLENTY OF ROOM TO STOP SAFELY AND WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP IN TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WERE NOT BRAKE MARKS ON THE ROAD AND IT FELT AS IF MY VEHICLE HIT THE ONE IN FRONT OF ME AT FULL SPEED. I BELIEVE THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED ME AND THE ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE BRAKES HAD DONE WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. OKLAHOMA CITY, OK INTERSTATE 40 AND MCARTHUR.

ENGINE
TIGER SHARK MULTI-AIR 2 ENGINE CONSUMES 1QT OIL PER 1000 MILES. I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND THE OIL WENT TO LOW AND ENGINE IS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF. THIS STALLING HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES TO AND 1 TO THE DEALERSHIP. NONE OF THE CARS WARNING INDICATORS COME ON WHEN PRESSURE IS LOW THE CAR JUST STALLS. DEALERSHIP RESOLUTION WATCH OIL LEVEL AND THERE IS FIX FOR THE CONSUMPTION OR ANY WAY FOR THE WARNING LIGHTS TO BE TRIGGERED. SO IF I FORGET TO CHECK THE OIL I AM GAMBLING WITH MY LIFE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IF THE CAR STALLS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.
