2016 Dodge Dart complaints

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?

THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT ON ITS OWN AND STRUCK A CURB. THE FRONT WHEELS STRAIGHTENED OUT AND THE VEHICLE LANDED IN THE YARD OF A SUB-DIVISION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS HAD NOT DEPLOYED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM SNAPPED INTO TWO PIECES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

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.

ON 5-21-16 WHILE DRIVING AFTER TURNING ON A CITY STREET THE CAR STARTED BEEPING AND THE GAS WOULDN'T WORK. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR CAME TO A ROLLING STOP. ALL LIGHTS WORKED. THE WINDOW WOULD ONLY ROLL HALFWAY DOWN. VEHICLE WOULD NOT START BACK. VEHICLE HAD 700 MILES ON IT. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START IT BACK WITH PUSH BUTTON AND KEY IT FINALLY STARTED. ON 9-15-16 WHILE MAKING A TURN THE CAR STARTED BEEPING AND CAME TO A ROLLING STOP. THE IGNITION WAS STILL LIT UP RUN. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. ALL LIGHTS WORKED. RPM WERE 0. VEHICLE HAS 7,062 MILES ON IT. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHERE THE ENGINE HAS TRIED TO DIE WHILE BACKING UP OR TAKING OFF IN DRIVE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS NOT SAFE! AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH OLDER MODELS.

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.

"CCDFAAGD.CAR STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING WHEN I GOT ON THE FREEWAY AND BETWEEN 55-60 I FELT LIKE EVERY TIRE WAS GONNA GO FLYING OFF IT NEVER DID ANYTHING BEFORE NO MESSAGES TIRES WERE AT 34PSI LIKE REQUIRED OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED ALL SERVICES AND FLUIDS CHECKED TOOK TO CHRYSLER IMMEDIATELY IN MIDDLE OF TRAVELING TO WORK.

THE 2016 DODGE DART I OWN TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED TWICE SO I TOOK IT IN TO BE SERVICED BY DEALERSHIP. COMPUTERS FOUND NOTHING WRONG. LAST NIGHT I WAS DRIVING WITH BABY IN CARSEAT. CAR TURNED OFF, CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS TURN ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. A TRUCK THAT WAS COMING BEHIND ME VEERED AT LAST MINUTE TO AVOID HITTING US WITHIN INCHES! AFTER DRIVER OF TRUCK AND AND OTHER WITNESS CHECKED ON US,I WENT INTO SHOCK, IT WAS THE SCARIEST MOMENT!! THE ONLY WAY CAR TURNS BACK ON IS BY SWITCHING KEY OFF,THEN ON AGAIN. IF THERE'S NOTHING "WRONG WITH IT", WILL I HAVE TO PROVE IT WITH OUR LIVES THAT THERE IS?!

DRIVING ON I80 @ 65 MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IMPLODED. THE ENTIRE WINDOW ENDED UP IN MY LAP. THERE WAS NO IMPACT BY ROCK OR ANY OTHER ITEM.

ABOUT TWO-THREE WEEKS AGO I HIT A POT HOLE AND GOT A FLAT OR THE SIDE WALL OF THE FRONT TIRE. THE TIRES ARE KUMHO SOLUS KH25 TIRES. THEN TONIGHT ON 3/18/16 I WAS JUST DRIVING ON THE ROAD DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING AND MY CAR TELLS ME I AM LOSING AIR PRESSURE IN MY BACK TIRE. I GET OUT AND NOTICE I WAS LOSING AIR PRESSURE AND LOSING IT FAST WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING. I JUST GOT THE CAR IN DECEMBER WITH 6,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NOTICED THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT MORE REPORTS ABOUT THESE TIRES AND NEEDED TO SHARE THE INFO. THESE TIRES ARE BECOMING A HUGE ISSUE.

ON A CITY STREET, TRIED TO ACCELERATE AT A STOP LIGHT WITH THE BRAKE ON. WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TURNING LEFT IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC.INTERMITTENLY (HOPS) IN MOTION EXITING A HIGHWAY, UPON BRAKING I TRAFFIC, STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE KEY REMOVED. TACHOMETER HAS REDLINED (6500 RPM + ) MOVING IN TRAFFIC AT 46 MPH ON LEVEL ROAD AND UPON TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT. 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. THE LIST IS LONGER BUT MY FEELING IS IT IS A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND SERVICE SAYS THERE IS NO CODE SO NO PROBLEM FOUND. IT HAS BEEN IN SERVICE 6 TIMES THAT HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED. MY FEAR IS THIS CAR IS SO DEFECTIVE AND IS GOING TO KILL ME AND POSSIBLY OTHERS IF THE COMPUTER FAILS WITH THE STEERING OR BRAKING.THE ISSUES STARTED @ 500 MILES ON THE CAR, IT NOW HAS 1900.

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY NEW CAR FAILS. I CONTACTED LUSTINE DODGE AND THE DEALERSHIP FAILS TO ADD SHOW ANY CONCERN.
