NHTSA Complaint #11043457 — 2014 DODGE DART

MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN I PULLED OUT THE OIL STICK THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO OIL. THIS HAPPENED THE SECOND TIME AS WELL. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE OIL WENT DOWN ABOUT HALF A QUART IN 1000 MILES. THEY SENT ME AWAY AND SAID THAT THIS WAS ACCEPTABLE.THE ENGINE ONLY HOLDS ABOUT FOUR QUARTS THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I WILL NEVER MAKE IT INTO MY NEXT OIL CHANGE WITHOUT THE CAR SHUTTING OFF. THE CAR SHUTS OFF DUE TO A SAFETY REACTION TO STOP THE ENGINE FROM BEING DAMAGED DUE TO LOW OIL. I HAVE NOT MADE IT TO MY OIL CHANGE SINCE I HAVE BEEN REFILLING THE OIL. DODGE'S GUIDELINES SAY IT IS "ACCEPTABLE" FOR THE 2.4 ENGINE TO BURN 1 QUART EVERY 750 MILES. THAT IS ALL THE ENGINE OIL IN THE ENGINE SINCE IT ONLY HOLDS 4 QUARTS EVERY 3,000 MILES. MY OIL CHANGE WON'T BE DUE ANY TIME CLOSE TO THEN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINS AND THREADS OF CITIZENS WITH THIS SAFETY CONCERN. I AM WORRIED OF WHEN THE CAR WILL STOP ON ME AGAIN.
