POWER TRAIN
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PERIODICALLY COMES ON AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WORK. THE MESSAGE GIVEN ON THE DASH IS THAT THE GEAR BOX ISN'T AVAILABLE. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, THE INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHES AND THE CAR WON'T MOVE. THE CAR SITS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, THEN IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN FOR A FEW WEEKS. IT IS ASININE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT BY THE MANUFACTURER. THANK GOODNESS THIS HASN'T HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREETS, BUT IT WILL EVENTUALLY. WHEN I BACKED IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE OTHER MORNING IT STOPPED WORKING AND THE ENGINE JUST REVVED. I WOULD RATHER JUNK THIS CAR THAN FIX IT, BUT WE STILL OWE ON IT. WE'VE ONLY HAD THE STUPID THING FOR 6 MONTHS AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE OWNER PRIOR TO US. THIS IS TWO FOR TWO FOR CRAP DODGE CARS. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER!

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING TO MY LOCAL ALBERTSONS AND WHEN PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPACE IN THE CAR LOT I WENT TO SHIFT MY TRANSMISSION INTO PARK BUT WHEN I MOVED THE STICK UP FROM DRIVE TO PARK I NOTICED THAT THE STICK FELT TOO SMOOTH AS IF IT DIDNT CATCH. SURE ENOUGH WHEN I CHECKED THE LIGHT STILL READ "D" FOR DRIVE INSTEAD OF "P" FOR PARK AT THIS POINT I HAD A VEHICLE THAT I COULDN'T NORMALLY SHIFT SO MAINTAINING MY FOOT ON THE BREAK I WAS ABLE TO POWER OFF THE ENGINE BUT MY KEYS WERE STILL STUCK INSIDE AS THATS A FEATURE OF THE CAR IF THE CAR IS NOT SET ON PARK. I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY HAND BRAKE AND LUCKLY THE CAR WASN'T MOVING ON ITS OWN. AFTER CALLING AAA TO TOW MY CAR THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE SHIFT CABLE BUSHING HAD BROKE. HE SAID I WAS LUCKY TO BE IN A SITUATION WHERE I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN THE SAFE AREA TO ADDRESS THIS AS HAD THIS HAPPENED IF I WAS REVERSING ON A HILL OR ATTEMPTING PARK DOWNHILL AND IT BROKE THEN IT COULD HAVE LED TO A COLLISION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, SO WE WERE IN MOTION. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED 4 TIMES TO ME IN A SPAN OF 3 WEEKS. I CAN EITHER BE DRIVING DURING THE DAY OR NIGHT. IT WILL HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING OR WHEN I COME TO A STOP SIGN AND ADDING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE. ONCE IT HAPPENS, AND IF I PUT IT IN PARK AS WELL, THE STICK SHIFT WILL LOCK UP AS WELL. AGAIN THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 4 TIMES TO ME WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE FRONT HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AND I TRIED TO REPLACE IT. APPARENTLY THERE IS A SENSOR THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING AND IT HAS TO BE ORDERED. IM SCARED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE VISIBILITY IS LIMITED. THE PART HAS BEEN ORDERED BUT I WAS TOLD ITS ON BACK ORDER AT THE DEALERSHIP. ID LIKE THIS FIXED ASAP BECAUSE I ALSO WOULD NOT LIKE TO GET A TICKET FOR DRIVING WITH A HEADLIGHT THAT IS OUT.

ENGINE
I HAVE A 2016 DODGE DART SXT THAT I BOUGHT OVER A YEAR AGO WHEN IT HAD 20, XXX MILES ON IT, IT NOW HAS 46,XXX MILES ON IT, IT DOES THE WEIRDEST THING, I WILL BE DRIVING IT AND IT JUST DIES AND DOESN'T WANT TO START BACK UP UNTIL A COUPLE MINUTES LATER, IT IS EMBARRASSING AND A TRAFFIC HAZZARD TO BE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OR AT A STOP LIGHT, IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS OFF AND ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, IT WASNT UNTIL RECENTLY THAT I REALIZED THAT THIS IS HAPPENING EVERY TIME THAT MY OIL CHANGE PERCENTAGE IS AT 25% OR BELOW, SO I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING AND IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS , THEY ARE CONSUMING OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES TO THE POINT THE ENGINE IS 1 TO 2 QUARTS LOW AND A SENSOR DETECTS THAT AND IS STALLING THE ENGINE TO PROTECT IT, DOES THIS CAR NOT HAVE AN OIL LIGHT TO DETECT WHEN THE OIL IS LOW? HOW IS THE WAY THEY HAVE THIS SET UP LEGAL? THEY NEED TO RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE ENGINE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES !

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR, MY LIFE HAS BEEN PUT IN DANGER ON COUNTLESS OCCASIONS. THE 2013 DODGE DART SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD, IT IS A DANGER TO OTHERS AND TO ITS DRIVERS. I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2013 AND FROM DAY ONE I ALWAYS FELT THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WAY IT SHIFTED. IT IS NOW 2019 AND FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS THE CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE RECALL. THE CAR HAS REVVED UP TO 80 MPH ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, IF I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE I WOULD HAVE DRIVEN IN TO THE INTERSECTION. THE CARS RPMS HAVE GONE UP TO 7,000 WHILE I WAS AT 50 MPH, THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS SHIFTING BACK DOWN WHILE COMING TO A SLOWER SPEED ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT IN COLD TEMPERATURES AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, THE CAR HAS LOST ALL BOOST WHILE STEPPING ON THE GAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, THE CAR IS 6 YEARS OLD 67,000 MILES AND NEEDS THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REPLACED ONE WEEK AFTER MY 6 YEAR WARRANTY ENDED. THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE AND UNPREDICTABLE, NOT ONLY HAS THIS CAR BEEN A FINANCIAL BURDEN BUT IT HAS PUT MINE AND MY CHILD'S LIFE IN DANGER AND THE DEALER CAN NOT FIX THE REOCCURRING PROBLEMS.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN DRIVING YOU HIT A BUMP YOU HEAR A METAL CLANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE TIRE. WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE BREAKS THEY GO ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN BEFORE CATCHING AS IF THEY HAVE AIR IN THE LINES AND SOMETIMES YOU HEAR A HIDING NOISE. YOU CAN BE SITTING WITH THE BREAKS ENGAGED AND THEY WILL GO SOFT AND THE CAR WILL MOVE UNTIL THEY CAGE ON THEIR OWN.

VEHICLE WILL ACT LIKE IT SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE CAR IS ALSO REVVING UP TO 3RPM ON ITS OWN WITH NO GAS PETAL BEING TOOTHED. THE STEERING COLUMN IS CLICKING AND MAKING A SCRUBBING SOUND. MECHANICS CAN NOT IDENTIFY A PROBLEM

ENGINE, STEERING
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS WHEN THE OIL GETS LOW, THE OIL LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON, AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN. THIS CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP, AND IT BECOMES HARD TO PROPERLY PULL THE CAR OVER SAFELY. WHEN WILL DODGE RECALL THIS ENGINE?!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PURCHASED 2014 DODGE DART FROM SUBARU OF CHERRY HILL, NJ DEALERSHIP 5/2019 @ 44,000MI. USED. EXCELLENT CARFAX. SINCE OWNERSHIP, VEHICLE HAS STOPPED TWICE; ONCE WHILE SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, AND AGAIN WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. BATTERY LIGHT DID NOT COME ON EITHER TIME. 3RD TIME VEHICLE DIDN'T START AFTER BEING PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 HRS. NEEDED TO BE JUMPED. AFTER FIRST INCIDENT OF STOPPING, VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC; COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM. BATTERY CHECKED OUT AS OK. OIL CHANGE PERFORMED AT 47,351MI. ALSO, SINCE BEING PURCHASED, A SLIGHTLY SWEET SMELL COMES OUT OF FAN. DOES NOT GO AWAY. CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE WILL STOP WHILE ON A HIGHWAY, CAUSING A MULTI-VEHICLE CRASH. THIS SEEMS VERY UNSAFE. UPON INVESTIGATION, NO RECALL WAS NOTED. DEALERSHIP CALLED TO DISCUSS FURTHER WITHOUT RESPONSE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. MANY OTHER DRIVERS SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WHEN SEARCHED ONLINE. PLEASE HELP! MOST RECENT EPISODE WAS 2/13/19.

ENGINE
MY 2016 DODGE DART STALLED AT A STOPLIGHT WHILE IDLING. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL IN MY CAR. IF IT GETS TOO LOW THE CAR WILL STALL. I HAD JUST CHANGED MY OIL ABOUT 3 MONTHS BEFOREHAND WITH THE CORRECT WEIGHT AND AMOUNT OF OIL ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL. BUT WHEN I CHECKED, SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS ALMOST NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. APPARENTLY THESE CARS BURN OIL AND DODGE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET THAT I HAVE FOUND. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND YOU GET HIT BECAUSE YOUR CAR DIES. ALSO I WONDER HOW LONG THE CAR WILL LAST WHILE BURNING OIL THE WAY IT DOES. AS A SINGLE FATHER TAKING CARE OF 3 KIDS BY MYSELF I CANNOT JUST GO OUT AND GET A NEW CAR WHENEVER I WANT. THIS IS VERY IRRITATING.
