2015 Dodge Dart complaints

THE VEHICLE SHIFTS IMPROPERLY AND WHEN STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR IT COULD EITHER SLOWLY GET UP TO DESIRED SPEED OR THE ENGINE DOES NOT INITIALLY RESPOND BUT WILL THEN GET TO A HIGH RPM AND THERE IS A SURGE IN POWER AND YOU ARE PROPELLED FORWARD. IN ADDITION TO THIS THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN BRAKING. THE ENGINE STARTS TO STUTTER AND FAILS WHEN RETURNING TO A STOP BUT WILL EITHER GET BACK UP AND RUNNING IF YOU DON'T STOP ENTIRELY OR IT WILL STALL WHICH WILL THEN REQUIRE YOU TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE STREET AND WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY HAS HAPPENED AS WELL

NOV 2016, LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING, WENT INTO NEUTRAL, WOULD START A FEW MINUTES LATER, BUT LOSS OF POWER AGAIN. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP & THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE. FEB 2017 KEY STOPPED WORKING, CHANGED BATTERY STILL DIDN'T WORK, CHANGED IT AGAIN & IT WORKED. APRIL 6, 2017 LOSS OF POWER COMPLETED DIED, I COULD NOT JUMP IT, COULD NOT LOCK MY DOORS, COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. PICKED UP CAR FROM DEALERSHIP ON APRIL 10, THEY SAID THAT THEY CHANGED THE BATTERY. WHILE STILL THERE PICKING UP MY CAR, MY BLINKER LIGHTS BLEW OUT, NOTIFICATION ON THE SCREEN SAYS RIGHT & LEFT BLINKER LIGHT OUT. THEY SWITCHED OUT THE BULBS. GOT IT HOME & NOTIFICATION SAID LOW BEAM LIGHTS OUT. THE NEXT MORNING HAD NO LIGHTS. TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TOMORROW. I AM FORCING THEM TO LOOK AT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM I AM CLOSE TO MY 36000 MILE WARRANTY.

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.

THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE OUT OF THE BLUE BEGAN TO FORM A HUGE BUBBLE THEN IT EXPLODED AFTER I MADE IT HOME. THE TIRE BRAND NAME IS KUMHO SOLIS. *TR

2015 DODGE DART CANNOT BE SHIFTED FROM PARK.

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.

MY CAR KEEPS CUTTING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE BATTER LIGHT COMES ON WITHOUT ANY WARNING. AFTER THE BATTER LIGHT COMES ON THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS STEER, THE CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN, I CAN'T EXCEL AT ALL, RAIDO AND ALL LIGHTS CUT OFF AS WELL. ONCE THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, I'LL START IT BACK UP SOMETIMES IT'LL START RIGHT BACK UP, OR I'LL HAVE TO HOLD THE KEY DOWN A FEW SECONDS FOR IT TO START. THE CAR HAVE STOPPED ON ME WHILE DRIVING MOVE THAN 5 TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE FIRST FEW TIME THEY SAID AFTER THEY RAN ALL OF THE TEST THEY COULDN'T GET THE VEHICLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER TIME THEY ASKED COULD THEY KEEP THE VEHICLE OVER NIGHT AND HAVE A MECHANIC DRIVE THE CAR HOME AND BACK TO WORK. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WENT TO GO PICK UP MY VEHICLE THEY SAID THEY KINDA-SORTA GOT THE CAR TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THOSE WERE THERE EXACT WORDS. THEN THEY PUT A MONITOR IN MY CAR THEY TOLD ME TO PRESS THE BUTTON WHILE I WAS DRIVING IF THE CAR WAS TO GO OUT SO THEY CAN RECORD THE PROBLEM. THE MONITOR WAS IN MY CAR FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND MY CAR DIDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THEY TOOK THE MONITOR OUT MY CAR CUT OFF ON ME AGAIN AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND THEY RAN THE SAME TEST AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. ANOTHER TIME MY CAR WENT OFF I TOOM IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT MY CAR WAS HALFWAY EMPTY ON OIL AND THEY'RE TELLING ME THAT MY CAR IS CUTTING OFF BECAUSE IT NEEDS OI

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY CAR RANDOMLY CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING THROUGH MY COMPLEX AND FLASHED THE BATTERY LIGHT. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED & WAS TOLD IT'S GOOD. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH A MECHANIC IN MY WARRANTY NETWORK, THEY REFERRED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN TELL ME UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CAR DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO WITHOUT A DIAGNOSIS. SO, NOW I KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR RANDOMLY STALLING, BUT NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT UNTIL A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OR IT RANDOMLY STOPS AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME AND SOMEONE CRASHES INTO ME AND POTENTIALLY KILLS ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING.

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. C

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED WHEN THE VEHICLE MADE A COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED THE OIL CONSUMPTION MODULE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS A SNAP AND A LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR REPORT FROM DODGE, BRAKE FLUID FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED INTO THE POWER BOOSTER CAUSING LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. THIS CAR IS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR OLD AND JUST OUT OF THE WARRENTY AT 37,000 MILES AND SINCE WE BOUGHT IT WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT, DODGE WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIR COST. THE 2013 AND 2014 DODGE DARTS WERE RECALLED FOR OLI LEAKING INTO THE POWER BOOSTER, BUT THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAILED MASTER CYLINDER. I'VE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH MASTER CYLINDERS OVER THE YEARS AND ALWAYS GOT MORE THAN A YEAR OUT OF A BRAND NEW MASTER CYLINDER. MAYBE I GOT THE ONLY FLUKE DODGE DART MASTER CYLINDER PROBLEM, OR MAYBE DODGE HAS BEEN PUTTING SUB-STANDARD BRAKE PARTS ON THESE CARS FOR YEARS. I SAVED THE OLD PARTS JUST IN CASE. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE WORTH LOOKING INTO. WE NARROWLY AVOIDED A REAR-END ACCIDENT, AND SO DID THE DODGE SERVICE GUY WHEN WE BROUGHT IT IN. I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT ON THIS. THANK YOU

THE CAR IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND NOT SWITCHING GEARS FOR DRIVE. UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. PRESSING GAS PEDAL AND CAR DOES NOT MOVE IN DRIVE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHEN I REACHED 65 MPH. WHEN I GOT TO 70 MPH, IT STOPPED I THOUGHT I WAS OKAY BUT I WASN'T. THE TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE AXLE AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARM FELL OFF CAUSING ME TO CRASH. I RAN INTO A GUARDRAIL AND IF IT WASN'T THERE, THE CAR WOULDN'T HAVE STOPPED AND I COULD POSSIBLY BE DEAD. UPON IMPACT, THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY EITHER. THIS IS LIFE THREATENING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE!!! THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THE CONTROL ARM FELL OFF. IT FELL OFF 3 OTHER TIMES TO. I AM FED UP WITH CHRYSLER. THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. IT IS A CASKET ON WHEELS.

I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES FROM MY DODGE DART 2015 HAVE A HUGE BULGE, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND SAID THAT WE HAVE TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIRE WHICH I WILL DO AFTER I POST THIS COMPLAIN. PEOPLE AT THE DEALER AND AT SEARS (DAYS AFTER I WENT FOR A NAIL IN ONE TIRE FROM BEHIND) SAID THE SAME TO CONTACT MANUFACTURER AND THAT IT SHOULD HAVE WARRANTY. IT IS WEIRD SINCE I NEVER EVER OVER INFLATED THE TIRES, THEY ARE ALWAYS AT THE RECOMMENDED AIR PRESSURE AND NEVER HIT SOME HUGE POT HOLE OR SOMETHING LIKE IT.

THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO HUNTER DODGE IN LANCASTER CA AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

I TRIED RE-CENTERING MY CAR TO THE CENTER, BUT MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ONCE MORE AND I STARTED GOING INTO THE DIRT. I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE I HIT A TREE.

LUCKILY THE TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR. INAM.GLAD TO SAY THAT MY FAMILY AND MY SOON TO BE WIFE WASN'T IN THAT CAR.

THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS THE GAS BOMB PROBLEM WHICH ITS COVERED AS THE AUTOMARKET SAID. ONE WEEK LATER DODGE CRAYSLER RAM CALLED ME TO SAY THAT WHEN THEY OPENED THE GAS BOMB THE MECHANIC FOUND WATER INSIDE SO SOME PARTS WERE CONTAMINATED AND THE FACTORY WARRANTY DOESNT COVERED.

MY DEALER WHO'S MAZDA EL CAJON DOESN'T WANT TO USE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EITHER AND ALSO WANT ME TO PAY. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP WITH THE PURCHASE OF MY FIRST CAR THANK YOU
