NHTSA Complaint #11025143 — 2015 DODGE DART

MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2015 DODGE DART ON THE ROAD AND IT COMPLETELY STALLED ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT THEN STARTED UP AGAIN AND DROVE. 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. MANY PEOPLE ON THE MENTIONED FORUM ALSO INDICATE THEIR OIL LOW LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON TO WARN THEM BEFORE THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF "WHILE DRIVING"
