NHTSA Complaint #11056386 — 2016 DODGE DART

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 .
