2016 Dodge Dart complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KENDAL DODGE (13355 S.W. 137TH AVE, MIAMI, FL), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

TURN SIGNALS DAY TIME LIGHTS KEEP BURNING

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON A ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY. I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO START IT. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO TURN OVER BY ITSELF FOR A GOOD 10 SECONDS. WHEN IT RESTARTED, AFTER RELEASING THE BREAK MY CAR THRUST FORWARD. THEN STARTED TO SPUBER LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL AGAIN. AT THAT TIME 3 LIGHTS CAME ON ON THE DASH... THE CHECK ENGINE, STABILIZATION AND ANOTHER I'VE NEVER SEEN. WAS REAL CLOSE TO A DODGE DEARER WHERE I BEARLY MADE IT TO. WHEN I ASKED THE PERSON ABOUT THE TIGRIS LIGHT COMING ON HE TOLD ME 'THAT MEANS GET IT IN ASAP! SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG IS WITH THE VEHICLE.' THE CAR HAS JUST OVER 30K MILES AND I KNOW IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

THE CAR DIES (STALLS, DOESN'T RUN, ETC.) WHILE DRIVING.. OR WHEN STOPPED, OR WHENEVER IT WANTS. IT WILL RESTART AND THEN DRIVE FOR A WHILE AND THEN DIE AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T EVEN COME ON AFTER SEVERAL STALLS BUT EVENTUALLY IT CODED WITH P2172 WHICH IS "THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM - SUDDEN HIGH AIRFLOW DETECTED". THE CAR IS BEING TOWED (AS OF THIS WRITING) TO THE SELLING DEALER LARRY MILLER DODGE IN PEORIA AZ FOR SERVICE. PERSONAL NOTE: THE MANUFACTURER/DEALER SHOULD BUY THIS CAR BACK... IT'S HAD 2 RECALLS (ONE FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND ANOTHER FOR THE ENTIRE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED) AND ALREADY HAD THE A/C REPLACED.

HELLO I BOUGHT A 2016 DODGE DART A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO I'VE HAVE THE STANDARD MATINENCE DONE WHEN SUGGESTED BUT HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE OIL RUNNING OUT I'VE LOOKED UP ISSUES ONLINE AND I'M HONESTLY KIND OF SURPRISED YOU HAVE NOT HAD DODGE RECALL OR LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE ALREADY BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THESE MOTORS IN FACT I'VE FOUND THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE RUN DOWN SO LOW THE ENGINE ACTUALLY SHUTS OFF I WOULD PLEASE LIKE YOU TO INVESTIGATE INTO THIS AND HAVE DODGE FIX THE PROBLEM THANK YOU.

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. THIS PREVENTS ME FROM TAKING ANY REST STOP WHEN DROWSY AND HAS NEARLY KILLED ME. THE NOISE KEEPS THE DRIVER AWAKE WHEN THEY TRY TO STOP AND SLEEP.IT FORCES THE DRIVER TO DRIVE DROWSY. THE DEALERSHIP IS APPARENTLY UNABLE TO REPAIR IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND IT'S DONE IT EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. IT'S THE MOST DANGEROUS CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN.

MY DODGE DART WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER GOING TO THE STORE. I WENT INSIDE TO PUT DOWN MY THINGS. WHEN I WENT BACK INTO MY GARAGE TO CLOSE IT, I HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE. AT THIS POINT MY CAR BEGAN TO ROLL DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. THE CAR ROLLED ACROSS THE STREET AND CRASHED INTO MY NEIGHBORS 2 VEHICLES. AFTER GOING BACK INTO MY HOUSE AND GETTING MY KEYS, I UNLOCKED THE CAR AND FOUND THE PARKING BRAKE/EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD BEEN RELEASED.*DT*JB

'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 TH

I HAVE BEEN RECENTLY HAVING ISSUE WITH MY 2016 DODGE DART WHICH I HAVE ONLY HAD FOR EXACTLY A YEAR THIS PAST OCT. WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION THE CAR CAN JUST SHUT OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAYS. I HAVE TORN MY CAR TO GET TESTING WHERE THERE IS NO CODE FOUND AND NO LIGHTS COME BACK ON ONCE THE CAR STARTS UP. I WAS TOLD MY BATTERY WAS NO GOOD A COUPLE MONTHS BACK REPLACED THE BATTERY AND NOW CAR TROUBLES AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT OF REVIEWS WHERE THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM IN DISBELIEF NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS. ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE TO TAKE ACTION ?????? *DT UPDATED 11/29/18*JB *DT CONSUMER STATED SINCE THE OIL CHANGE THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY PROBLEMS. UPDATED 12/12/18*JB

I HAVE A 2016 DODGE DART WITH A 2.4 LITER ENGINE. THE CAR HAS 16000 MILES ON IT. STARTING THIS WEEK, THE CAR SOMETIMES WILL NOT START. I WOULD PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, TURN TO START AND NOTHING. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON BUT IT WON'T TURN OVER. I FOUND OUT BY ACCIDENT IF YOU MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER THROUGH THE GEARS IT WILL START. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS MY FOB NEEDED A BATTERY REPLACEMENT, SO I REPLACED IT ONLY TO SEE THAT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIKE SMITH CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (1945 I-10, BEAUMONT, TX 77701, 409-840-3560) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFT CABLE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS I'VE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. MY CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING I'VE FILED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE REPROGRAMMED THE TCM AND PCM AND THAT SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM UP UNTIL TODAY, 09/16/2018. I GOT DOWN THE STREET AND MY CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE TURNING ONTO A BUSY STREET. I WAS ALMOST SIDE SWIPED AND THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS.

TAMARA RECALL THE BLOWER FOR HEAT AND AC WORKS OFF AND ON. IT STARTED ONLY WORKING ONCE A DAY NOW IT WON'T WORK AT ALL.

MASTER SLAVE CYLINDER LEAKED DOWN ONTO THE CLUTCH AND CAUSED MY CLUTCH TO FAIL. CLITCH WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 6,000 MILES OF DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM AT 69,000 MILES.

THE GEAR CHANGE ISN'T WORKING, IT SEEMS TO BE A SMALL GAUGE THAT KEEPS POPPING OUT AND NOT GRIPPING WHEN I CHANGE GEARS. I HAVE BEEN DOING IT MANUALLY.

BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE WHEN TRYING TO STOP . BRAKES WOULD PRESS DOWN BUT NOT SLOW THE VEHICULAR DOWN. THE BRAKES WOULD RANDOMLY FAIL WHEN STOPPING ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND IN URBAN AREAS. ALONG WITH THAT THE COMPUTER WOULD FAIL AND THE ABS LIGHT,THE ENGINE LIGHT , AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON ALONG WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT. ALL THE PROBLEMS HAPPEN OVER TIME AND RANDOMLY OCCURRED. THE FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING A NEWER CAR ! I HAVE HAD A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE BECUSE THIS HAPPENED GOING DOWN HILL AND I HAD TO WAY TO STOP TILL THE LAST MINOR AS THERE WAS A SHARP TURN PLEASE I JUST WANT THE CAR FIXED.EVERY OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICULAR WAS OPERATING AND IN MOTION

THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT. AFTER THE FIRST START OF THE DAY, THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO PEP BOYS AND THE DEALERSHIP. PEP BOYS IS UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS AS THE CAR HAS TO MIM*ICS THE PROBLEM AND THE DEALER WAS NONCOMPLIANT. *DT*JB

THIS IS THE THIRD COMPLAINT I HAVE FIELD ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING. AT 50,281 MILES MY CARS MOTOR TURNED OFF WILE I WAS DRIVING. USUALLY IT WILL GO ABOUT 1000 MILES OR SO BEFORE IT TURNS OFF AGAIN. THIS TIME WAS A BIT SOONER. WHILE LEAVING MY HOUSE TO TAKE MY BROTHERS INHALER TO HIS SCHOOL, MY CAR TURNED OFF. I HAD JUST GOT DOWN TO THE END OF THE STREET AND STARTED TO TURN OFF OF SUNNYSLOPE LN AND ONTO 95TH AVE AND MY CAR TURNED OFF. THIS TIME A LADY IN A WHITE LEXUS SUV ALMOST HIT MY CAR BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE QUICKLY. THANK GOD FOR THAT LADYS LEXUS BEING ABLE TO STOP IN TIME.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. COULD BE GOING AS SLOW AS 15MPH TO AS FAST AS 70 MPH. THIS TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN CALIFORNIA WHILE ON VACATION. I GOT TO THE END OF THE STREET AND BOOM ENGINE SHUTS OFF. TO RESTART THE CAR YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, CHANGE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I HAVE SINCE STARTED RECORDING THE MILEAGE WHEN IT HAPPENS. MILEAGE WAS AT 49,218

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THE LAST TIME MY MILEAGE WAS AT 49,218 THIS TIME MY MILEAGE WAS AT 51,068. BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS: WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE (MOSTLY ON CITY STREETS) THE CARS ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE CAR YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE CAR. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT I NEED IT FIXED BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES.

ENGINE RANDOMLY TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. CAR MUST BE PULLED OVER, AND TRANSMISSION PUT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

ON A DAILY BASES MY CAR WILL NOT START. (MORNINGS BEFORE WORK, EVENINGS AFTER WORK, WHEN EVER I STOP THE CAR AND COME BACK TO IT.) I MUST START THE CAR WITH A JUMP MACHINE WHENEVER I TURN IT OFF. TODAY THE RADIO STARTED GOING OUT. ONCE THE RADIO GOES OUT IT FEEL LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF IN MOTION, ON THE STREET.

TWICE WHILE DRIVING MY CAR HAS JUST COMPLETELY STALLED AND LOST POWER. BOTH TIMES I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP. OTHER TIMES IT FEELS AS IT IT WILL STALL BUT DOESN'T. IT HAS CAUSED TWO MINOR ACCIDENTS AT A STOP SIGN DUE TO THE STALLING.THE OTHER EVENT HAPPENED AT 50,0000 MILES IN JUNE. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP, NO CODES CAME UP.

I HAVE HAD MY 2016 DODGE DART FOR 2 YEARS AND 5 MOS AND THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE CAR SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL OUT AND HAS PROBLEM GETTING POWER AND HAS A PULLING EFFECT WHEN GOING AT REGULAR SPEED, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TO REPLACE A COLI ON IT ALREADY; I DIDN'T EXPECT TO HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH A BRAND NEW CAR SO SOON AND HAVING TO PAY FOR REPLACING A COIL WHICH WAS QUITE PRICEY TO DO BUT I DID BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND ALSO BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL CHRYSLER PART WAS ON BACK ORDER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS; I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS BEING THAT MY CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD; AND I NOW AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN AND PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO PAY AGAIN TO HAVE SAME PROBLEM FIXED; VERY UNHAPPY WITH OWNING A DODGE VEHICLE :)

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AFTER 60,000MILES, SHIFTING HARD

FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS WERE FAILING. SYMPTOMS WERE LOUD RATTLING AND VIBRATIONS WHEN MOVING. FIX WAS TO REPLACED THEM ALONG WITH NEW ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS.

TAKATA INFLATORS, WHEN DRIVING IT JUST DYES AND LOSSES ALL POWER NO RADIO NO NOTHING NO POWER AT ALL AND WON'T START TILL IT SEATS FOR ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINS THAN IT WILL START AND U CAN DRIVE IT DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME JUST WHEN EVER IT WANTS TO.

THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE15024 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V800000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC), BUT HAD EXPERIENCED THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. CAR STARTED FINE DROVE ABOUT A 1/2 MILE AND TURNED THEM VEHICLE JUST DIED. ENGINE STOPPED DEAD IN ITS TRACKS, AX STILL BLOWING JUST A LITTLE WARM, RADIO CONTINUES TO PLAY, ALL LIGHTS ARE ON AS NORMAL. BUT BATTERY LIGHT IS FLASHING. PUT CAR IN PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!! TO RESTART, CAR STARTS RIGHT UP AND DRIVES FINE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY SIGNS OF PROBLEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 DODGE DART. WHILE IN A DRIVE-THRU LINE, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY ACCELERATED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. *TT *TR

THE VEHICLE KEPT TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED MORE OFTEN WHEN VEHICLE WAS COLD. CHECKED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR AT A MECHANIC AND ALL WAS FINE. ITS A PROBLEM WITH ENGINE OIL. THE CAR CONSUMES OIL AT A RATE OF APPROXIMATELY 1 QUARTS PER EVERY 500 MILES. WHEN THE OIL REACHES LOW LEVELS, THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO HIT THE BREAKS.

THE HEADLIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG SOMETHING IS WRONG HEADLIGHTS DON'T GO ON AND OFF GOING DOWN THE STREET FOR NO REASON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL HAD BEEN LOCKING AND JERKING IN EITHER DIRECTION, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE EACH TIME IT HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (WEST BROTHERS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 3 NORTH SERVICE ROAD, SULLIVAN, MO 63080, 1-(877) 327-6183) TWICE, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. DURING THE THIRD VISIT, THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT *TR

THERMOSTAT FAILED AT 47K MILES ON A 2016 DART. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER ENGINE WARRANTY BUT WASN'T. THE 2.4L HAS A HISTORY OF THERMOSTAT FAILINGS AND OUR DEALERSHIP REPLACES THEM CONSTANTLY.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE TURNED ON BUT FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WASHER FLUID LOW WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V813000 (VISIBILITY) BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FT. PIERCE LOCATED AT 5851 S US HIGHWAY 1, FORT PIERCE, FL 34982(855) 709-0687. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED AT A DODGE DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WITH THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

VEHICLE HAS HAD ISSUES FROM ABOUT 1300 MILES . THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING SIGNS AND HAS A HARD TIME RESTARTING , IF IT WILL RESTART. THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND DIAGNOSED AND THEY CAN NOT FIND THE ANYTHING IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM OR FIGURE OUT WHATS WRONG . I WAS TOLD BE THE DEALER THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR THE CAR TO CONSUME UP TO 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY THOUSAND MILES OR SO . THE ONLY INFORMATION I WAS GIVEN IS THAT IT IS A KNOWN OIL PROBLEM AND THAT FCA (FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOTIVE) IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE MATTER . THE VEHICLE NOW HAS ABOUT 41 THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER TESTING . THIS HAS NOT ONLY COST ME EXTRA MONEY BUT HAS CREATED MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS , I HAD BROKEN DOWN WHILE GETTING ON AND OFF OF THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR AND HAVE BEEN STUCK ON OR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES . THESE 2.4L FIAT MOTORS ARE EXTREMELY UNSAFE ! I HAVE TOLD DODGE I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THEY FIX THE ISSUE , ALSO I WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE SAME CAR AS A LOANER DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE LAST LOANER CAR I HAD SIMILAR TO MINE ALSO HAD THE SAME ISSUE AT THE LAST SERVICE .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. IN OCTOBER OF 2016, WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (NAPLETON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, 1460 E OSCEOLA PKWY, KISSIMMEE, FL 34744) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS INADEQUATE OIL IN THE VEHICLE DURING PRODUCTION, WHICH CAUSED THE SENSOR TO SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE OIL INDICATOR WAS FLASHING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE A COMPRESSION TEST WAS COMPLETED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL WAS EVAPORATING AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DENIED THE CLAIM.

THEIR WERE POISONOUS FUMES COMING OUT OF THE HEATER, COOLANT, AND RADIO SPEAKER SYSTEMS, THE VEHICLE BURNED TOO MUCH GAS, THEIR WAS NO ACCELERATION IN LONG DISTANCE {IN REF TO: A SEASIDE UNIVERSITY SECTION 8 HOUSING SURVEY}, THE DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T OFFER DIAGNOSTIC AND WARRANTY SERVICE; AFTER I GAVE THEM ALOT OF MONEY THEY TOLD ME NOT TO COME BACK TO THEIR LOT; I GAVE THEM THE CAR BACK; AND TOLD THE JUDGES TO TELL THEM TO RETURN ALL THE MONEY I GAVE THEM BACK INTO MY BANK ACCOUNT: KING COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT CASE # 17-2-24602-6 SEA FILED IN SEATTLE.

WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS, THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, I HEAR A NOISE AND THE GAS PEDAL VIBRATES, THE STEERING AND GAS PEDAL LOCKS UP. THIS EVENT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN FOUR DAYS LEAVING FROM MY GARAGE, ON THE INTERSTATE AND A CITY STREET. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP LAKELAND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM AND I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS DRIVEN BY THE TECHNICIAN 11 MILES AND THERE WAS NO INCIDENT AND AT THIS POINT THE CAR CAN NO LONGER BE DRIVEN DUE TO A GASH IN THE TIRE. HOWEVER, A MULTI-POINT INSPECTION, OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION WAS DONE ON THE VEHICLE 8/22/2017 AND A GASH IN THE TIRE WAS NOT NOTED ON ANY PAPERWORK NOR WAS IT REPORTED AS A PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH ON A RAINY DAY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO WORK WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (EASTCHESTER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM LOCATED AT 4007 BOSTON RD, BRONX, NY 10466; (718) 547-5500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE OF THE SPECIFIC REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO OTHER TIMES. WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO STOP WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STOPPED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ONE YEAR AND SIX MONTHS BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND THIS US THE THIRD TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE CAR ACTS AS IF ITS GOING TO DIE OUT. THE PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM FIXED AND STATED THAT THE COILS WERE BAD. NOW I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. THE REASON WHT I BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE WAS TO AVOID ISSUES SUCH AS THIS. I TRADED IN A 2011 VEHICLE THAT I HAD BOUGHT USED HAD IT FOR FIVE YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISSUES NOR ANY OTHER ISSUES.

THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WAS FILED ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2016. IHTSA ID NUMBER 10906998. ORIGINALLY THE VEHICLE DYING WAS SAID TO BE DUE TO THE OIL NEEDING TO BE CHANGED AND SOMETHING WITH THE TURBO ENGINE THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE. SINCE THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS UPDATED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THERE WERE NO OTHER ISSUES AFTER THE COMPUTER SYSTEM UPDATE. APRIL 10TH THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A LOUD RATTLING SOUND. THE SOUND BEGINS ONCE YOU GET OVER 50-55MPH AND GETS LOUDER THE FASTER YOU GO AND THE LONGER YOU DRIVE. I RECORDED THE SOUND SO THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE A BICYCLE CHAIN. IT IS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE FOR THE RATTLING PROBLEM ON JUNE 21. TODAY WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE VEHICLE TRIED STALLING. AFTER DRIVE ABOUT 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE DIED WHILE PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. A CAR SWERVED INTO THE TURNING LANE TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME. THIS MAKES THE 4TH TIME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS DIED WHILE DRIVING IT. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO CAUSE ME OR MY CHILDREN TO BE INJURED OR KILLED. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 14, 153 MILES.

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. DURING TAKE OFF THE CAR WILL STALL LIKE NO GAS THEN IT WILL GO LIKE IT'S GETTING GAS. DURING COLD IT SHIFTS REALLY ROUGH LIKE YOUR USING A STANDARD SLAMMING IT IN GEAR. I HAVE ALSO HAS 2 MISFIRE IN 2 DIFFERENT CYLINDERS. ONE WAS A COIL PACK THE OTHER WAS SUPPOSEDLY A LOOSE CONNECTION. TOOK CAR IN FOR ALL THIS AND DEALER SAID IF THEIR IS NO CHECK ENGINE NOTHING THEY CAN DO EVEN THOUGH THEY FEEL THE CAR CHAIR AND CAN SEE THE ENGINE SHAKING. THEY TELL ME TO COME BACK IN WHEN LIGHT COMES ON. LIGHT SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL FAULTS. ECM AND TCM HABE BEEN REPROGRAMMED MULTIPLE TIMES AND PROBLEMS STILL CONSIST.
