The dodge dealership had me to come in to reprogram my cars pcm(under Recall) because it was burning a quart of oil in less than 300 miles and getting extremely hot but now the engine has less oil burn as much as before but has less horsepower(tested by plugin meter) and has a ton of blowby that it blows oil out of drain plug there is no error codes or anything but the extended warranty test for a new engine isnt covered because they reprogrammed the pcm and to get a new engine under their extended warranty i would have to lose the amount of oil that i was previously before they touched the PCM they waited to show me the extended warranty after they reprogrammed it a year prior withholding that i could been eligible for new engine without catastrophic damage this car also has bcm 3 that has severe parasitic drain making the car unsafe all the way around on all 2015 models

The electrical has a parasitic drain and it puts so much strain on the car that it will shut down on highways and in idle surging and it has no error codes popping up at all it originally started happening July 12th 2016 but a lot of these 2015 dodge darts are having these issues and having shut downs in the middle of intersections-highways and so on that this needs to be urgently recalled I desperately need help with this i take care of my disabled mother by myself and this has been a issue with this car for a while and well documented at the dealership with no help or recourse

Hello my car has so many safety and risks the engine electric and transmission very dangerous please help

I have a warning light on my car for P1065 and P1061 codes. These two codes comes and go away on their own. It usually occurs after starting the car and driving it for a few minutes. This causes the car to shake and slow down suddenly in the middle of the road. The car stops to shake only when I shut it off and turn it back on right away. Another issue is that my car key get stuck in the ignition sometimes after shutting it ofand I have to wait a few seconds for the key to come off or press the button on the gearshift handle a few times to make it come out. I wonder if this is related to the Transmission Shift Cable Bushing safety recall repair that was done a few years ago on dodge dart vehicles Lastly, I have been getting the "parking light out" warning messages on my car dashboard but all the light appears to be working fine. I have looked up these issues online and they appear to be common problems faced by Dodge Dart owners.

The ECM/Throttle Positioning System has been faulting for a while and only getting worse causing the car to just randomly steal with no power. Usually can shut off and restart car and itll be good for 1 min - 30 min you never really know. I got stranded in the middle of the highway and couldn't start my car after it died while driving down the road.

Message warm engine before start. Car won’t start message key fob damaged when it’s not. Engine clicks but no engine turn over.

I was driving the other day dropping off food for a customer and as I shifted my car from park to drive it wouldn’t change gears. Now let me remind u I’m stuck in the middle of these strangers driveway as they’re trying to leave their home and I cannot switch into reverse so I had to keep my foot on that break pedal the entire time. Thank god they were very understanding ( because who knows what could’ve happened) and said they were leaving for something that wasn’t very important and would go another day. Come to find out it was my CABLE SHIFTER WHICH I HAD ALREADY HAD REAPIRED PREVIOUSLY AS A RECALL. I haven’t even been able to drive the car because it will not shift into any gear. It’s currently just sitting across the street in my apartment complex as I have no way to work or anywhere for that matter. I called the same dealership (I took it to the first time I had the recall done)as soon as the incident happend to see if I could just get it repaired AGAIN (which I shouldn’t have to) and they told me that there was no way I was gonna be able to drop my car off at the dealership because they were extremely backed up so it would take 4 WEEKS before they could have anyone even look at the car. I described what it was doing over the phone to him and he said it most definitely was the cable shifter. And not only that but he also told me that even with it sitting here or there they don’t even have the part to fix the vehicle at the moment.This isn’t even the least of issues with this vehicle that I haven’t even owned for 2 years.There were never any warning lights or anything that popped up on the dashboard.

Car runs great when I bought it used then had check engine light come on for a P0420 trouble code and it has something to do with the converter on the car well now I see that there is a recall for this about the converter #u90 is there any way my car is having this problem due to the reclaa but when I put my vin in it says it doesn't have a recall but when u read online it says recalls are for 2014-2016 dodge darts but my vin is showing no recalls??

Sometimes I can smell like a gas or oil smell in the cabin of the car only happens when I take sharp turn or a bump in the road and sometimes by itself can't be good having this smell in the cabin and people breathing it.

The car stalls completely at random speeds and consumes a huge amount of oil. This stalling is extremely dangerous as it happens at even highway speeds. This is not a unique problem as I have read hundreds of accounts of the exact same thing happening on the exact same vehicle type.

Unknown , I was driving down the road at 50 mph and my battery light came on then I lost my a/c my lights started flickering and I then lost power steering and brakes I had to use my emergency brake to slow down then all of my check engine and brake failure lights were flickering and my fuse box on top of my battery caught fire and was smoking and my car then shut off I could have crashed and or been hit and killed

The engine consumes a lot of oil and there is no warning light to inform you of this occurring. This can cause a fatality if the engine seizes, due to this consumption, on a highway.

My Dodge Dart with 2.4L engine was recalled for excessive oil consumption. On 09/09/2021 the vehicle was brought in for service and I was told the PCM was to be reprogrammed and that would fix the excessive oil consumption issue. I am now 3,000 miles after the PCM repair and I am still burning a quart of oil. I called the dealer, O'Daniel Automotive Group in Fort Wayne Indiana, on 01/28/2022 to speak with a service rep and was told they weren't available and I would get a return call. Today is 02/05/2022 and no one has returned the call.

I had to replace my engine, my transmission is slipping and not shifting gears properly. It has been doing it for almost 2 years now. The suspensions are horrible

My number 3 cylinder is the only problem. This had been the the third time I've had this problem in the last three years.

When the oil life in this vehicle gets low the vehicle randomly stalls. This week my vehicle stalled in the middle of an intersection putting me at risk of bodily harm. I had to have my car towed to the dealership because it would not start. After speaking with the service person at the dealership they said that this is a "safety feature" to protect the engine. This is not the first time this has happened, but it is the first time my vehicle wouldn't start at all.

Car's engine stops while driving. Has to be restarted. Engine use extra oil between oil changes.

WHEN STATIONARY, IN MOTION, OR DURING HIGH VOLUME TRAFFIC ENGINE TENDS TO OVER HEAT DUE TO COOLANT TRANSFER TUBE FROM THERMOSTAT TO EXPANSION TANK BY CRACKING OVER TIME CAUSING OVER HEATING ISSUES REAR TRUNK HARNESS TENDS TO SPLIT WIRES GOING TO HIGH CENTER LIGHT CAUSING FAILURE OF 12V

WHILE DRIVING DOWN MY STREET AND ACCELERATING, THE CAR STALLED OUT. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH. HAD A HUNCH AND CHECKED THE OIL. IT WAS NEARLY BONE-DRY. ADDED TWO QUARTS AND IT APPEARS TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE TO BE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. WITH THE LACK OF WARNING LIGHT, AND JUST UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I'M JUST GLAD I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY (AS OTHER DART OWNERS I'VE TALKED TO HAVE BEEN).

NO OIL LIGHT ON, NO ENGINE LIGHT, AND IT STALLED. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH OIL CONSUMPTION WITH THE 2.4 ENGINE. MY CAR DIED AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND STARTING A TURN. Y CAR STALLED OUT TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS VERY DANGEROUS. BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, MUSIC CONTINUED, BUT ENGINGE JUST DIED. THE STEERING WHEEL FROZE (NO MORE POWER STEERING), AND I COULDN'T PRESS MY BRAKE DOWN, IT JUST SAT THERE IN THE ROAD. I CHECKED THE LEVEL OF MY OIL AND IT DOESN'T EVEN COVER THE CURVED PART OF THE DIPSTICK, THAT'S HOW LOW IT IS.THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN, A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. THE CAR IS NOT INDICATING WHEN IT NEEDS OIL, AND IS SHUTTING ITSELF OFF SO IT DOESN'T OVER HEAT WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS 70MPH+ AND IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS WHILE TURNING.

Mileage: 121,000

MY CAR IS RANDOMLY STOPPING WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC AND HE SAYS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PCM.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PRETTY MUCH EVERY RECALL THAT IS ON THE LIST NUMBER ONE IT STARTED WITH MY CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. AND THE CODES THAT KEPT ON COMING UP OR FOR THE PLUGS AND COILS. I WOULD REPLACE THEM AND THEY WOULD JUST GO BAD AGAIN IN LIKE A WEEK IT IS CAUSING MY CAR TO DO WHAT SEEMS LIKE IT'S MISFIRING. MY TIRE LIGHT IS STUCK ON WHEN THE TIRES ARE FINE. THE SPEED CONTROL STOPS WORKING ON AND OFF. WHEN I STEER THERE'S A LOUD CLICKING NOISE. WHENEVER I TRY TO SHIFT HERE LATELY SOMETIMES IT WON'T GO INTO GEAR. WHEN I TURN ON THE AC IT WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO MISFIRE AND THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO TURN OFF THE AC AND RESTART THE CAR SOMETIMES THREE TO FOUR TIMES BEFORE IT STOPS MESSING UP.TODAY THE SCARIEST THING OF ALL HAPPENED I WAS PULLING OUT OF BRONZE AND WHITE SMOKE BILLOWED OUT OF THE CAR TAILPIPES I'M NOT SURE WHY. THE CAR IS ALSO SPORADICALLY NOT GOING IN GEAR WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY MAKING ME WORRY THAT ME AND MY FIVE KIDS ARE IN DANGER DUE TO SOMEONE RAIKKONEN TO ME BECAUSE MY CAR WILL NOT GO UP TO SPEED AND WILL NOT SHIFT INTO THE RIGHT GEAR AND MISFIRES AND WILL NOT GO OVER LIKE 30 MILES PER HOUR AND PUTZ. I REPLACE PARTS AND IT SEEMS TO WORK WELL FOR A WEEK OR TWO BUT MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST THEY SAY THAT EVERY SINGLE THING THAT IS ON THE RECALL LIST IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT ALL OF THIS I HONESTLY YOU JUST THINK THAT DART NEEDS TO TAKE THE CAR BACK.. LIKE RECALL IT COMPLETELY.

MY CAR CUT OFF TWICE THIS MORNING, AND ALMOST DIDN'T CRANK BACK UP. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I TOOK IT BY O'REILLY TO GET THE ENGINE TESTED. IT SHOWED THAT MY THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL WAS BAD. PRIOR TO THIS IT SEEMED LIKE SOMETIMES WHEN I TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS THAT IT WAS STICKING OR SOMETHING. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF IT WAS SWITCHING GEARS PROPERLY. TO TOP IT OFF, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF MY TIRES ONCE, AND A COUPLE OF THEM TWICE. NOW TODAY IT APPEARS I'LL HAVE TO REPLACE THE BACK TWO A THIRD TIME. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! I'VE BEEN WONDERING IF THEY JUST DIDN'T LET ME KNOW THAT THE TIRES THEY WERE PUTTING ON WERE BAD TIRES, POSSIBLY RECALL TIRES. I'M WONDERING BECAUSE I'VE REPLACED TIRES WAY TOO MANY TIMES, AND ONE OF THE LAST TIMES I WENT THEY TOLD ME THEY NO LONGER HAD THE TYPE OF TIRES THAT WERE ON MY CAR, BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO STOP BUYING THAT BRAND. WHEN I ASKED WHY, HE FUMBLED AROUND THAT AND TOLD ME THE PLACE THEY (DEALERSHIP) GOT THEM FROM (PEP BOYS) NO LONGER USED THOSE COMPLAINTS.

CAR DROPPED OUT OF GEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. IT WAS TERRIFYING I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BUT WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. DROPPED SPEED AND THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2015 DODGE DART WITH 55,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH IT STALLING WHILE STATIONARY. NOW ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IT HAS STALLED WHILE GOING 40+ MPH. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IT THIS HAPPENS WITH TRAFFIC AROUND ME.

Mileage: 55,000

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN WITH OUT NOTICE, WHEN DOING SO IT'S HARD TO STEER THE CAR OVER OUT OF TRAFFIC, WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN.

Mileage: 44,000

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?!!

Mileage: 84,000

THE CAR STALLS AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. DRIVING IT TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAVING THE CAR DIE IS VERY UNSAFE TRYING TO GET OFF THE ROAD.

Mileage: 5

ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED PROBABLE CAUSE WAS LOW OIL LEVEL DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION (~ 1 QUART IN 1600 MILES). THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED EXTENSIVELY ON-LINE WITH THIS ENGINE (2.4 LITER TIGERSHARK).

Mileage: 35,000

WHEN MY OIL IS LOW, THERE IS NO WARNING ON DASH, MY CAR JUST SHUTS OFF. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FEW DEALERSHIPS IN SOUTH JERSEY AND THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE DODGE DARTS. IF MY HUSBAND WAS NOT A MECHANIC AND CHANGED OIL EARLY, I WOULD HAVE THIS ISSUE EVERY TIME!

NO CHECK ENGINE OR WARNING LIGHT DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN 6TH GEAR CAR BLEW UP LOUD NOISE AND CAUGHT ON FIRE! ONLY 85,000 MILES WITH REGULAR SERVICES. LOST ALL POWER AND CLUTCH PEDAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND COASTED TO SHOULDER WITH A LOT OF SMOKE COMING FROM ENGINE OPENED THE HOOD AND THERE WERE FLAMES WHERE TRANSMISSION FLUID GOES.

ON EVENING OF FRIDAY NOVEMBER 9, 2018, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AND WAS VERY SLUGGISH. THE NEXT DAY NOVEMBER 10, 2018 AT 12:15 PM WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 485 IN CHARLOTTE NC AND BEFORE I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK; THE CLUTCH BRAKE EXPLODED LIKE A GRENADE, SENDING SCHRAPNAL THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION. WE WERE LUCKY IT DIDN'T COME THROUGH THE CAB OR MY FAMILY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE TRAFFIC WAS VERY HEAVY DUE TO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND, WE WERE ALSO LUCKY THAT WE DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE DRIVEN STANDARD TRANSMISSIONS ALL MY LIFE AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED. TO SAY THE VERY LEAST I AM UPSET THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTEE DUE TO THE LOW MILEAGE AND SINCE I BOUGHT IT ON JAN 29, 2016, IT IS UNDER 3 YEARS. HOWEVER, I AM LOOKING AT A $3500 BILL TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE, THE CLUTCH BRAKE SHOULD NEVER EXPLODE LIKE THAT. CHRYSLER IS SELLING WEAK MANUFACTURED PARTS TO THE PUBLIC. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CHECKED OR REPLACED WITH A BETTER CLUTCH BRAKE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

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.

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

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??

I PURCHASED MY 2015 DART NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. SINCE 7/2017, THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON 3 SEPARATE INSTANCES. THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES UP ON THE DASH AFTER THE CAR STALLS OUT BUT THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE THAT. THE CAR DOES NOT RESTART AND HAS TO BE LEFT FOR 5-10 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL TURN OVER. EVEN THEN YOU CAN ONLY DRIVE IT UNTIL YOU PUSH THE BRAKE AGAIN AND IT STALLS OUT. THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE DART AND THAT IT BURNS MORE OIL THAN OTHER VEHICLES. EVERY TIME THIS OCCURS, THERE IS NOT A DROP OF OIL IN THE CAR. WHEN IT HAPPENED TODAY, THERE ARE LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON THE CAR SINCE THE LAST OIL CHANGE AND IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST OIL CHANGE. THE LAST TWO TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, I HAVE NEARLY GOTTEN HIT BECAUSE THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING.

I PURCHASED A 2015 DODGE DART 3/19/18 FROM A DEALERSHIP. I JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGE DONE WHICH WAS RECOMMENDED. THE CAR JUST RECENTLY STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON. WE CHECKED THE BATTERY (WHICH WAS A YEAR OLD) AND THE ALTERNATOR AND THEY WERE FINE. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO CHECK IT OUT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT AT AND THEY SAID IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS. NEVER DID THEY MENTION THE OIL BEING THE ISSUE. I GET A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE BECAUSE THE OIL WAS LOW THE CAR WILL STALE TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. FIRST OF ALL, IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD IF THIS CAN RANDOMLY STALL, AND SECOND NO LIGHTS CAME ON FOR THE WARNING. THE CARS METERS SHOWED THAT THE OIL QUALITY WAS AT 85% AND GOOD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT PERTAINS TO THIS CAR STALLING.

THE DEALER HAS EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO SAY "WELL, YOU BOUGHT A DODGE DART". WHEN WE PURCHASED THE DART, WE BOUGHT THE MAINTENANCE PACKAGE, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES. WE USE THIS PACKAGE ALL THE TIME AND THERE WOULD BE NO EXCUSE TO BE LOW ON OIL THAT FAST IN A NEWER VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED A HALF DOZEN TIMES, SPEEDS VARYING FROM DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT (5-10MPH) , TO DOWN A STREET(35-45MPH) THANKFULLY NEVER ON A HIGHWAY.

CAR WOULD NOT START AT SCHOOL UNTIL MANY TRIES. CAR 1 DAY LATER, 09202017, STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND AND THANK GOD NO CARS WERE BEHIND HIM FOR A REAR END ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION ! DEALER INDICATED THE CAR WAS LOW ON OIL (ONLY 25% OIL LEFT). NO ENGINE OIL LIGHT HAS COME ON TO EVER WARN US. ADDITIONALLY, THE DODGE DART FORM WEBSITE INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DART'S 2.4L ENGINE CONSUMING 1 QUART OR MORE EVERY 2,000 MILES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A NEW CAR TO BURN THIS MUCH OIL AND CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF PROTECTION WHILE ON A FREEWAY OR BUSY ROAD WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. DEALERS ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO SAY AND DON'T INVESTIGATE THIS ENGINE PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE HELP THIS COMMUNITY OF CAR OWNERS BEFORE ACCIDENTS OCCUR AND LOSS OF VEHICLE ENGINES AT GREAT EXPENSE TO OWNER.

THE CAR IS NOT INDICATING WHEN IT NEEDS OIL, AND IS SHUTTING ITSELF OFF SO IT DOESN'T OVER HEAT WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS 70MPH+ AND IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS WHILE TURNING.

WELL FOR STARTERS. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FAULTY THERMOSTAT. I WENT AND HAD IT REPLACED AND NOW EVER SINCE I GOT THAT REPLACED I NOTICED MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE FLUCTUATIONS. IT HAS PLENTY OF FLUID INSIDE THE RADIATOR SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS. I STARTED TO NOTICE IT EVERY TIME WHEN I'M PARKED IN ONE PLACE. I NEED THIS PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED RIGHT AWAY.

Mileage: 45,000

BURNING OIL EVER SINCE WE BOUGHT IT, CONSTANTLY HAVING TO ADD OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS WITHIN SPECS. CONTACTED CHRYLSER CARE ABOUT ISSUES AS WELL. STILL HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. VERY DISAPPOINTED, A NEW CAR SHOULD NOT BURN/CONSUME 1 TO 2 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES.

I HAVE DRIVEN MY 2015 DODGE DART WITHOUT ISSUE TILL 2/15/17. IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WIFE DRIVING THE INTERSTATE ON I40. THE FOLLOWING DAY IT DIED AND MY FATHER IN LAW HAD TO JUMP THE VEHICLE OFF TO GET IT GOING. TODAY, (2/17/17), I DECIDED TO DRIVE THE CAR TO WORK BECAUSE MY COMMUTE IS SHORTER AND MUCH LESS DANGEROUS. I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND DROVE TO THE END OF THE ROAD TILL I GOT TO THE MAIN STREET IN OUR HOMETOWN, AND IT DIED THANKFULLY BEFORE I GOT ON THAT STREET. THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY STOPS. STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. ALL ELECTRONICS IN VEHICLE STOP. BRAKING IS SLIGHTLY DELAYED. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN TOWN AND THEY SAID TO CHECK THE OIL. WE DID AND HAD THEM CHANGE IT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS HIGHWAY DRIVING WHERE PEOPLE DRIVE 60+ MPH AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER INTO THE SHOULDER.

DODGE DART GT 2015 SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS ONLY A DINGING NOISE. ONLY 4200 MILES ON CAR THE FIRST TIME. SHUT OFF 8 DIFFERENT TIMES SENSE THEN. TOOK IT TO DEALER WAS TOLD OUT OF OIL. CAR WOULD SHUT OFF TURNING OR STOPPING FAST. GOT OIL CHANGE FROM DEALER. LESS THAN 4000 MILES LATER SAME THING, CAR SHUT OFF AND RADIO STILL ON AND DASH LIGHTS WORKING ONE DING NOISE. TURNED ONTO BUSY ROAD AND DART SHUT OFF, WAS SCARY FOR A FEW MINUTES FAST TRAFFIC COMING FROM BEHIND, HAD TO GET OFF ROAD QUICK. OIL NOT LEAKING IN DRIVEWAY. TECH AT DEALER SAID HE SAW THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND TOLD ME TO WATCH MY ENGINE. CAR HAS NEVER MAID TO A 5000 MILE OIL CHANGE WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF. ONE TIME SHUT OFF AFTER ONLY 2540 MILES SENSE LAST OIL CHANGE. DEALER FOUND NO SIGNS OF LEAKS OR SIGNS OF OIL BURNING UP. THE 7TH OIL CHANGE THEY REPROGRAMMED THE OIL SENSOR. LOSING ALL MY FREE OIL CHANGES TO QUICKLY. NOW I'M 750 MILES FROM DUE OIL CHANGE AND SHUT OFF AGAIN. I CHECKED OIL STICK - BONE DRY. PUT 2 QUARTS OIL ( O2 20W) IN , THAT GOT ME TO THE BOTTOM OF LOW MARK ON STICK. CAR RUNNING OK TO GET TO DEALER AGAIN.ALSO CHECKED OIL GAGE IN CAR, SAID:43% OIL LIFE REMAINING. THAT WAS A LIE. OIL IS ALWAYS VERY LOW AND ENGINE HOT BUT NOT OVERHEATING. OIL SHOULD BE DIRTY AND MAYBE A LITTLE LOW BUT NOT VERY VERY LOW. I WANT TO MAKE THE CAR LAST 150 TO 200 THOUSAND MILES WITH GOOD CARE. WORRIED ENGINE WILL NOT EVEN GET CLOSE. GOT EXTENDED WARRANTY. CAR ENGINE GONNA BLOW UP BEFORE IT'S TIME AND BLAME ME. CAR SHUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING AND NO OIL, CANT GET TO 5000 MILE OIL CHANGE. HAD A 2013 DART, LOVED IT, TRADED IN FOR 2015 WITH BETTER WARRANTY. MISS OLD DART.

AS I WAS DRIVING, I SLOWED AND BRAKED FOR OTHER VEHICLES AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AS I STARTED TO RE-ACCELORATE, I REALIZED THE CAR HAD STALLED. WHEN I GOT THE CAR RE-STARTED, IT WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND THE CHECK ENGINE, THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ALL LIT AND/OR FLASHING. AFTER I GOT HOME, I DECIDED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THIS TIME, THE CAR DROVE FAIRLY NORMALLY WITH ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN ONLY 3600 MILES. (THE FIRST TIME WAS AT APPROX. 280 MILES AND THE SECOND TIME WAS AT ABOUT 500 MILES.) THE DEALER'S SERVICE WRITER IMPLIED SINCE THIS CAR HAS AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, IT WAS MY DRIVING STYLE AT FAULT. I HAVE DRIVEN SEVERAL OTHER CARS WITH ELECTRONIC THROTTLES FOR SEVERAL YEARS (MY PREVIOUS CAR HAD 120,000 MILES ON IT) AND THIS IS THE ONLY TIME ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED.
