POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT A FAIRLY HIGH SPEED WITHIN THE SPEED LIMIT MY CLUTCH JUST DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND THE MANUAL STICK SHIFT SHIFTED INTO GEARS ON IT'S OWN JUMPING AND NOT NEEDING THE CLUTCH TO SHIFT. LED TO TOTAL IMMOBILIZATION WITH CARS BEHIND ME, I LUCKILY MADE IT OVER TO A DIRT AREA BETWEEN THE ROAD AND A DITCH SAFELY.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED THE CAR JULY 2017 AND HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER 5 TIMES DUE TO PROBLEMS. I HAD A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT COMING UP, THE DEALER FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY. MARCH 2018 THE BATTERY SIGN LIT UP FOLLOWED BY A SLEW OF OTHER SIGNALS, INCLUDING A POWER STEERING LOCK SIGNAL AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THEN THE POWER STEERING LOCKED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL HARD ENOUGH AND LUCKILY FOUND A PARKING LOT WHERE I COULD PARK THE PARK SINCE I WAS IN A HEAVILY TRANSITED AREA. ATTACHED IS A PICTURE I TOOK AFTER I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PARK THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR, I HAD TO PAY $250+ FOR THIS. NOVEMBER 2018, THE BLUETOOTH DOES NOT CONNECT, THE ODOMETER IS BLINKING CONTINUOUSLY AND THE CAR SHAKES WHEN AT A STOP. TURNS OUT TO BE THAT THE BLUETOOTH CONSOLE NEEDED TO BE CHANGED ($900+ COST), A TUNE UP WAS NEEDED 'BADLY' ($400+) AND THERE WAS BELIEVED TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A PIECE OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE. THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE COST OF THIS LAST ISSUE IF IT WAS FOUND TO BE THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. IF IT WAS FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION PART WAS NOT CAUSING THE SHAKING, WE WOULD NEED TO COVER THE $600+ COST FOR THE LABOR. WE ARE IN PROCESS OF DEALING THIS MATTER WITH A MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP, SINCE WE DO NOT WANT TO KEEP THIS CAR.

ENGINE
VEHICLE STARTED STALLING LAST WINTER AFTER REMOTE START THOUGHT IT WAS REMOTE START ACTING UP BUT NOW IT STARTED STALLING RANDOMLY AT IDLE AND TURNING NOW IT HAS STALLED DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT RESTART RIGHT AWAY, IT IS SCHEDULED TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE IN 4 DAYS SO I STARTED SEARCHING WHY IT WOULD BE STALLING AND READ ABOUT EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I JUST CHECKED MY OIL AND IT IS BARELY READING ON DIPSTICK. THIS IS BS THERE IS NO WAY IT SHOULD BE CONSUMING THIS MUCH OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND IT ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT.

MY CAR HAS 34,000 MILES AND I CAN'T FILL UP AT A GAS PUMP. IT WILL FUEL FOR 2 SECONDS AND CLICK OFF. I CALLED DODGE BUT IT'S NOT LINGER UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY DUE TO TIME.

ENGINE
MY 2015 DODGE DART ENGINE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHEN I DRIVE IT , I'VE BRUNG IT TO MULTIPLE REPAIR SHOPS AND THEY HAVE ALL SAID THAT MY CAR IS FINE NO CODES SHOWS UP ON DIAGNOSTIC. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF NO AUTO SHOP KNOWS WHAT'S TO DO AND IS KEEP SAYING MY ENGINE IS FINE WHEN OBVIOUSLY IT ISN'T IF IT KEEPS ON RANDOMLY SHUTTING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.

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.

CONSUMPTION OF OIL. WHEN OIL IS CHANGED, I HAVE TO REPLENISH OIL AT AROUND 63-67% USEAGE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS UNTIL NEXT OIL CHANGE. THERE WAS PREVIOUS LEAK REPAIRED..NO LEAKS BUT STILL BURNING OIL. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPED THEN START EXCELERATING, EXPERIENCE HESITATION AND A RATTLING OR PINGING SOUND. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I SLOW DOWN TURNING AT CORNER THEN EXCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED OVER 1 1/2 YEARS AGO.

BACKSEAT OF THOSE NOT WORK. I HAVE A LOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE TRUNK OPENS EVERY TIME IT'S COLD OR RAINING BY ITSELF. WHEN I START THE CAR THE CAR JUST FLICKERS SOMETIMES IN THE ODOMETERS BOUNCE UP AND DOWN. MY CAR IS TELLING ME THAT MY PARK LIGHT IS OUT AND IT'S NOT. THESE ARE ISSUES I BROUGHT DIRECTLY TO THE DODGE LOT DEALER WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
I STARTED MY VEHICLE THIS MORNING AND IT STARTED ROUGH AND WAS SURGING. AT TAKEOFF THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING STRANGLY. SLOWED TO MAKE A UTURN, TURNED TO THE LEFT SLIGHTLY AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, CAR SHUT DOWN AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. I ALMOST RAN A MAN OVER TRYING TO STOP AS I COULD NOT STEER. THE BATTERY SYMBOL POPPED UP ON THE DASH. I POPPED CAR IN PARK. REMOVED KEY. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND IT TOOK A GOOD 5-10 SECONDS BEFORE TURNING OVER. THERE WAS HESITATION UPON START. AFTER BEGINNING TO DRIVE IT SEEMED TO BE DRIVING NORMALLY..THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIT OF A TICKING TIME BOMB AND A VERY LARGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE ACROSS ALL MODELS
