2016 DODGE DART Electrical System Problems

My car keeps shutting down, battery dieing, lose parts , brake caliber come off completely. Gas gone right after putting gas in the car . I have taking it to dealership were I purchased the car Eddie said it would be fixed and it's been one year now. Northgate Ford on colerain Ave Cincinnati ohio where I purchased it They have been tracking me threw GPS system shutting down my car when they want . Over Google and apple they have been breaking into my car taking and switching out all paperwork

I am the second owner to own this car had it for 4 months only 27,000 miles i called my dealer to see about the gear shifting cable recall that happened but they said it was fixed in 2019, my car was driving fine now it is no longer shifting out of park i think the recall was not done correctly

Electrical system crashes which makes the car lose the ability to brake, accelerate, and steer. The center display and general display both go out at random times. Sometimes more issues are prevalent when this happens and sometimes less. I do have several videos of this issue occurring.

The car keeps stalling and several scans, thousands into repairs to include the dealership itself. I’m convinced that it’s one of the recalls re: power train and engine keeps randomly stalling. This is a huge safety concern that will result in an accident. It happens after start up, at stop lights and signs And randomly throughout driving. I don’t feel safe and I’m taking it back to the dealership to do the job right .

Airbags. The light did not come on upon start up of vehicle. Electrical. My radio, display on dashboard and Bluetooth would blink off and on. I think that my sons safety and mine were at risk because of the malfunctioning of the airbags if an accident would have occurred they wouldn't deploy. I took it into the dealer, but they didn't seem concerned. They fixed some things and it costs around $3500. The only thing I noticed was the flashing off and on of the dashboard display which shows your speed and mileage on the vehicle and my airbag light did not display at all. My VIN number was covered up with a sticker on the dashboard of my vehicle as well and the one on the drivers door was missing. My car was stolen from Ohio and I found it in Oregon at Capitol Toyota. Dodge Dart 2016.

THE TRANSMISSION GEAR IS NOTB SHIFTINGB AND THE CAR IS CUTTING OFF OIN THE FREEWAY AND ALSO AT STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS. OIL CHANGES AND TRANSMISSION FLUIDS HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND CHANGED PROBLEM STILL HAPPENING.

Gear jumped into neutral and then reverse while driving and got stuck in reverse .

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH there was a loud abnormal banging sound before the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle went dark and there was no electrical power. The vehicle failed to restart. The contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer who could not duplicate the failure. The contact stated that the failure occurred two more times and the vehicle was driven to the dealer, who was able to diagnose the failure on the third visit. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the onboard computer needed to be reset as well as the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle had been repaired; however, the contact stated that the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,815. The VIN was unavailable.

Mileage: 65,815

Blind Spot Detection says 'unavailable'. The first time this happened, it was followed by the radio & heater randomly turning off & on and all things electrical flashing off and on every few seconds. It was taken to the dealership & found the turn signal socket to show a high resistance when hot. After just over a month of everything working normally, it has now gone back to square one, starting with the blind spot sensors, just as before. Uploads are from when I had the car at the dealership in May. Blind spot sensors acting up once again on 6/20/22. Which is the date I put for when the incident occured.

The car battery keeps dying even though it's a new battery. Alternator isn't the problem either. A bunch of blown fuses relating to the starting of the car. Around the time this issue started the computer also had an issue and we can no longer connect to Bluetooth and the odometer is blinking.

I cranked my car up and backed it down the driveway with no problem. When I went to put it in drive it; the gear shift would move to to drive but the car would no shift in any other gear. I’ve restarted it multiple times and it will no go into any gear only stays in park, but the gear shifter will move.

MULTIPLE OCCURRENCE: CAR WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING, LOSING BRAKES. THE LIGHTS ON DASH WILL START FLASHING WILDLY AND THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS WILL START GOING ON ITS OWN WHEN TURNED OFF. CAR WILL NOT START BACK AGAIN FOR A LONG WHILE. THE AIR SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK-NO HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONER, JUST STOPPED WORKING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, CAR IS UNSAFE. I'M NOT SURE HOW IT HAS A HIGH RATING IN SAFETY.

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.

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL LOSE POWER WITH ALL THE COMPUTER'S EMERGENCY LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER BOTH READ ZERO. I NEED TO USE THE VEHICLE'S ON-BOARD NAVIGATION SYSTEM TO ESTIMATE SPEED ON LONG DRIVES. THE CAR STILL DRIVES AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS WITH NO SPEEDOMETER/TACHOMETER READING AND EVERY EMERGENCY LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ILLUMINATED. THE LONGEST DISTANCE DRIVEN USING THE GPS WAS AT LEAST 50 MILES. SOMETIMES THE ERROR LASTS FOR ONLY 5 TO 10 MILES AND THEN THE SPEEDOMETER/TACHOMETER BOTH START TO FUNCTION AGAIN. I HAVE HEARD A POPPING SOUND AND ANOTHER TIME WHEN THIS ERROR OCCURRED, I SMELLED A BURNING RUBBER SMELL. TURNING ON AND OFF THE IGNITION SYSTEM ONCE OR TWICE, CLEARS THE ERROR ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME STEW HANSEN DODGE DEALER THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 7 MONTHS AND THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE, BUT THEY CAN REAL ALL THE ERROR CODES ON THEIR DATA LOGGERS. THERE IS A COMMUNICATION ERROR BETWEEN THE PCM AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AS LOGGED IN THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TROUBLE-SHOOTING WITH FCA'S STAR SERVICE AND HAS ATTEMPTED GROUND WIRE REPAIRS AND CLEANINGS. THE DEALER INDICATED THEIR DEALERSHIP NO LONGER COULD CONTINUE FUNDING REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE, SINCE THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE EXACT ISSUE AND THAT I SHOULD MAKE THE SELLING DEALER REPAIR THIS ELECTRICAL DEFECT OR LOSE GROUND WIRE ISSUE.

THE CAR SHAKES VERY URUPTLY AT IDLE. YOU CAN LOOK AT THE ENGINE AND SEE IT'S SHAKING AT IDLE. IF YOU TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER ON IT GETS WORSE. RADIO SCREEN WILL NOT WORK SOMETIMES. BLUE TOOTH WILL WORK THEN CUT OFF THEN TURN BACK ON WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WORK THEN RANDOMLY NOT WORK WHERE I HAVE TO TURN THEM MANUALLY ON. WIPERS DO THE SAME AS THE HEADLIGHTS BUT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE FOR THE WIPERS IT TAKES TURNING OFF THE CAR AND TURNING IT BACK ON AND OUT THEM ON LOW. ENGINE WILL DIE RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT ANY SPEED. GPS WILL NOT LOAD SOMETIMES. THE BACK UP CAMERA WORKS WHEN SCREEN WORKS BUT ALSO FAILS WHEN SCREEN IS WORKING AND WHILE BACKING UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT RECIEVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V813000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

RE: S83 / NHTSA 16V-813 VOLTAGE SPIKE IN WINDSHIELD WASHER PUMP. TOOK 2016 DART TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL WORK ON 3/8/17. UPON RETURN OF MY VEHICLE, NOTICED AN ELECTRICAL ARC SOUND, A LOUD BUMPING SOUND, WHEN ENGAGING THE 'FLASH HEADLIGHTS' FEATURE. THE ELECTRICAL ARC SOUND NEVER OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE RECALL WORK. THE SOUND EMITS FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHERE THE HEAD LAMPS ARE LOCATED. WHEN I WENT BACK THE NEXT DAY TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE NEW SOUND, THE DEALERSHIP TRIED THREE NEW DARTS ON THE LOT THAT MAKE THE SAME NOISE. MY COMPLAINT IS TO QUESTION THE SAFETY OF THE REPLACEMENT PART AS PRESCRIBED BY THE RECALL NOTICE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NORMAL, BUT THIS ELECTRICAL ARC SOUND HAS NEVER OCCURRED ON ANY CAR I'VE EVER BEEN AROUND DURING MY 55 YEARS. I WANT NHTSA TO LOOK INTO IF THE REPLACEMENT PART USED ON MY CAR AND PUT IN DARTS MANUFACTURED RECENTLY IS ACTUALLY SAFE. IS THE ELECTRICAL ARC NOISE BY DESIGN OR DOES IT INDICATE A NEED TO RECALL THE REPLACEMENT PART TO AVOID SAFETY PROBLEMS SUCH AS MALFUNCTION OR FIRE?

THIS 2016 DART GT HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 13 TIMES SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH. THE BODY CONNECTOR HAS CORRODED TWICE AND BEEN REPLACED ALONG WITH SEVERAL CORRODED WIRES. THE TELEMATICS MODULE WAS ALSO REPLACED AFTER IT TESTED INCONSISTENT AND WORKING ONLY 20% OF THE TIME (THIS IS FOR THE UCONNECT AND BLUETOOTH). IF YOU HIT 10MPH SOMETIMES IT LIKES TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING THE GAS! WHILE STARTING THE CAR IT NOW LIKES TO SAY THE KEYFOB HAS NOT BEEN DETECTED EVEN WHEN THE KEY FOB IS RIGHT BY THE KEYLESS START. THE WIRELESS RECEIVER WAS REPLACED BUT IT SAID KEY FOB NOT DETECTED AGAIN. THIS WILL MAKE SERVICE VISIT #14! THIS CAR HAS SERIOUS COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE KEYFOB NOT BEING DETECTED ISSUE COULD BE DEADLY IF IT DOES IT WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN AND MAKES THE CAR INOPERABLE.

MY 2016 DODGE DART OVERHEATS THE RPM GOES UP AND DOWN WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. ON JUNE 26 MY CAR CUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND IT TOOK ME TEN MINS TO START IT UP MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF AND EVERY TIME I TAKE IT IN THEY SAY ITS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. MY OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE 100 PERCENT OIL IN MY CAR. WHEN I PUT ON BRAKES IT ACTS LIKE IT DOESNT WANT TO STOP SO IHAVE TO BRAKE FARTHER AWAY FROM PEOPLES CARS.

TACHOMETER HAS REVVED TO 5500 RPM'S ON THE DOWN SIDE OF A HILL WHEN ON CRUSE CONTROL MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR HAS JERKED SEVERELY DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH.INTERMITTENTLY THE CLIMATE CONTROL HAS DIFFICULTY IN MAKING A DECISION ON THE SELECTION I MADE AND HAS TAKEN APPROXIMATELY 5 MIN BEFORE THE AIR ( FAN ) WILL ENGAGE. ALL DASH LIGHTS HAVE FLASHED WHEN THE KEY FOB WAS PUSHED TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. THE AUTO DOOR LOCKS HAVE FAILED TO LOCK PROPERLY AND ENGAGED AT 40 MPH.
