NHTSA Complaint #11176480 — 2016 DODGE DART

MY 2016 DODGE DART STALLED AT A STOPLIGHT WHILE IDLING. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL IN MY CAR. IF IT GETS TOO LOW THE CAR WILL STALL. I HAD JUST CHANGED MY OIL ABOUT 3 MONTHS BEFOREHAND WITH THE CORRECT WEIGHT AND AMOUNT OF OIL ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL. BUT WHEN I CHECKED, SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS ALMOST NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. APPARENTLY THESE CARS BURN OIL AND DODGE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET THAT I HAVE FOUND. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND YOU GET HIT BECAUSE YOUR CAR DIES. ALSO I WONDER HOW LONG THE CAR WILL LAST WHILE BURNING OIL THE WAY IT DOES. AS A SINGLE FATHER TAKING CARE OF 3 KIDS BY MYSELF I CANNOT JUST GO OUT AND GET A NEW CAR WHENEVER I WANT. THIS IS VERY IRRITATING.
