THIS CAR HAS GONE THROUGH CYLINDERS, SPARK PLUGS, 3 BATTERIES INCLUDING THE FACTORY ONE, THROTTLE CONTROL COMPUTER ALL IN LESS THAN 50K MILES. NEVER GETS MORE THAN 10K MILES BEFORE THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE, QUITE POSSIBLE THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED AND THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND AFTER READING FORUM AFTER FORUM OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUES EXPERIENCED BY HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS AND DEALER RESPONSES THAT THERE WAS GOOD REASON TO DISCONTINUE THE PRODUCTION OF THIS MODEL AND THE MODEL YEARS THEREAFTER. UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE ALL STUCK WITH PAYMENTS ON CARS THAT PUT US AT SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK BECAUSE OF FREQUENT AND RANDOM STALL OUTS, INCLUDING ONE THAT HAPPENED TO MYSELF AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AND ANOTHER ON A DARK DESOLATE COUNTRY ROAD, AND FCA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT OTHER THAN OFFER A 5% DISCOUNT ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, FOR WHICH COMPARABLE...

I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION AT THE BEGINNING OF 2015, I BELIEVE, THAT THE RECALL HAD OCCURRED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE CURRENT PART TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. I WENT IN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER AND WAS ADVISED OF THE SAME ISSUE. IN JUNE OF 2016, THE GAUGES FLICKERED BUT THE VEHICLE TURNED ON. LATER ON THAT DAY THE VEHICLE DID NOT TURN ON AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I REPLACED THE BATTERY. I WENT IN FOR MY REGULAR OIL CHANGE IN DECEMBER OF 2016 AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX THE ISSUE AT THE MOMENT AND WOULD CONTACT ME. I INFORMED THEM THAT THIS IS THE...

"DODE DART RECALL" I RECEIVED A POSTAGE A FEW MONTHS AGO ABOUT A RECALL FOR MY DART, EVERYTIME I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT ALLSTAR ABOUT THE RECALL THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THE PARTS HAVE YET TO ARRIVE., I HAVE HAD MY CAR A YEAR AND A HALF. CURRENTLY EVERYTIME I START MY CAR IT IS SAYING SERVICE TRANSMISSION ON THE DASH. ON SEVERAL OCASSIONS THE CAR HAS AUTOMATICALLY WENT INTO THE NEURAL SHIFT, WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ME TO COMPLETLY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC!!!!!I HAVE ALMOST BEEN INTO ABOUT 4 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE GLITCH WITH MY TRANSMISSION, THE AIR ALSO WILL WORK AND BLOW OUT HOT AIR ON ONE SIDE. EVERYTIME I STOP AT A STOP SIGN THE CAR STRUGGLES TO PULL OFF CAUSING MY CAR TO JERK TREMENDOUSLY I AM DESTINED TO GET THIS ISSUED RESOLVED . ALLSTAR STILL HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME BACK ABOUT THE...

RIGHT NOW I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY EVAP SYSTEM, TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. WITH THE EVAP SYSTEM I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT AND I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP AS THE SYSTEM STATED AND I STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. THE ENGINE ISSUE NOW IS THAT THE CAR IS VERY HESITANT THAN FROM BEFORE. ESPECIALLY IN FIRST GEAR. I HAVE TO REV THE ENGINE TO GET GOING SOMETIMES. I ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. NOW THE CLUTCH GOES TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE OR STICKS TO THE FLOOR WHEN I AM ON THE ROAD FOR A WHILE OR WHEN IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR AND FEW MONTHS AND IT JUST GETS WORSE. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR IS UNSAFE.

I HAVE HAD MY 2013 DODGE DART ONLY 2 YEARS AND AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH THE PURCHASE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH MULTIPLE ISSUES. JUST YESTERDAY I HAD TO PUT IT IN THE THE SHOP TO HAVE THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM THAT I NEEDED TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE NAVIGATION SERVICE. ARE THEY KIDDING ME, I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY UNIT, DUE TO THE FACT IT GOES COMPLETELY OUT WITH A WHITE SCREEN AND IT JUST DOES NOT WORK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY, THE ENGINE IS RUNNING ROUGH. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AT MY COST OF $150.00 NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT ONE. THE SPEEDOMETER IS INCORRECT, THE INTERIOR LIGHT RATTLES AND DRIVES ME CRAZY ON LONG TRIPS. I HAVE HAD TO TAKEN IT IN FOR SEVERAL FRONT...

MY CAR KEEPS SAYING SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR 3 YEARS WITH NO FIX. THE RECALL IS A R42 MY CAR CAN SHIFT INTO NATURAL AT ANY TIME WHILE I AM DRIVING HOW SAFE IS THAT TO DRIVE ALSO TCM CONTROLLER BOARD WAS REPLACED AND SINCE THAT MY TURBO WENT OUT MY CARS TEMPERATURE ON THE COOLANT GOES UP TO 215 DEGREES. WHEN STARTING MY CAR AND WHEN I DRIVING IN TRAFFIC IS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GOES UP

THE CAR WON'T START. BATTERY IS COMPLETLY DEAD. WON'T EVEN CHARGE. (THAT'S NOT THE BIG DEAL) THE BIG DEAL IS WHEN I TRY TO REVERSE IT'S LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO GET IN GEAR. THEN WHOLE CAR SHAKES, AND THEN IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION STOPS AND IS ABOUT TO DROP. GEAR SHIFT LIGHTS ALL TURN RED. HAVE TO START CAR AND TURN BACK ON TO GET IT TO GO TO NORMAL. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TOO. THEN EVENTUALLY TURNS OFF.

I HAVE ONLY HADE MY DART FOR 1 YEAR WITH 55K ON IT.... IN THAT TIME IT HAS HADE 25K IN DEALERSHIP REPAIRS... I HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 COIL PACKS, SPARK PLUGS, AND FULE INJECTURES ON MY OWN DIME... THE EBREAK HAS BIN REPLACED ONCE AND AGAIN IT IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. THE AIR BAG LIKE CAME ON AND NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE PASS SEAT BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT BUCKY WONT READ ITS CONNECTED N BEEPS ALL THE TIME.. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF.. IT HAS A KNOCK,AND TICK AT IDOL BUT GOES AWAY AFTER 3K RPM. I HAVE HADE NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND I AM STUCK WITH IT FOR 5 MORE YEARS... THIS IS BY FAR THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY I HAVE EVER HADE

PROBLEMS SINCE DAY 1 WITH MY 2013 DODGE DART. THE CLUTCH WOULD STICK IN AND I WOULD HAVE TO POP IT UP WITH MY FOOT. I WOULD TAKE MY CAR IN AND EVEN LEFT IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. AND THE "SPECIALIST" SAID WHAT I WAS TELLING THEM ABOUT THE CLUTCH WAS IMPOSSIBLE!

GAUGES WILL FREEZE WHILE DRIVING, BUT RESET AFTER 20 MINUTES. HAS HAPPENED ON 4 SEPARATE OCCURENCES. WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN EXPRESSWAY AT 50MPH IN THE CITY, THE CAR LOST BOOST(PRESSURE FROM THE TURBO) CAUSING IT TO LOSE POWER DRAMATICALLY REDUCING SAFETY AND FUEL ECONOMY. THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO MERT SPEED LIMIT AND SLOWING DOWN TRAFFIC BEHIND AND THE ABILITY TO GET UP A HILL IN MY AREA. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE BEING AFFECTED BY THE P0299 LOW PRESSURE CODE.

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY CAR SINCE I GOT IT. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THREE RADIOS, AN ENTIRELY NEW TURBO WAS INSTALLED ONE YEAR AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. THEN THINGS WERE GOING WELL UNTIL RECENTLY. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP ABOUT 3 WEEKS IN A ROW. FIRST IT WAS ONE OF MY COILS THAT HAD BECOME INACTIVE. SO WHILE DRIVING IT THE CAR SHAKES AND STUTTERS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I TRY TO HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR STARTS SLOWING DOWN AND SHAKING. SO I HAD TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER SHOP TO LOOK AT IT BECAUSE FOR A NEW CAR IT IS NOT IN MY FINANCES TO BE PUTTING $400 INTO MY CAR EVERY WEEK. HAD TO GET THE PART ORDERED SO I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING MY CAR AROUND WITH ONE COIL INACTIVE. THEN IN THE MIDST OF ALL THIS HAPPENING, ONE WEEK...

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY 2013 DODGE DART GT WITH A 2.4 TIGER SHARK ENGINE WITH MULTIAIR HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING ON THE ROAD. THE REASON FOR THIS THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME WAS DUE TO LOW OIL, WHICH WE RECENTLY REALIZED USES AT LEAST 1/2 QUART PER 1,000 MILES. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. THEY SAID THAT BEFORE 50,000 MILES IT IS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS TO BURN 1 QUART FOR EVERY 1000 MILES AND AFTER 50,000 MILES IT IS NORMAL TO BURN 1 QUART FOR EVERY 750 MILES. THIS WAS NEVER DIVULGED TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT FIRST DID THIS STARTING AT 35,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 42,000 MILES. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY OIL LIGHT OR ANY OTHER ENGINE LIGHT THAT GOES ON BEFORE THE VEHICLE DIES. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD...

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START MY DART, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WILL HAVE NO TENSION IN IT. THE PEDAL WILL GO STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH NO EFFORT AND WILL STICK DOWN. I HAVE TO USE MY FOOT TO PULL IT BACK UP. THE CAR WILL ALSO NOT GO INTO GEAR WHEN THIS OCCURS. YOU HAVE TO EITHER TURN THE CAR OFF OR LET IT STALL, THEN PUMP THE CLUTCH 10-20 TIMES IN ORDER TO GET THE TENSION NEEDED. SOMETIMES THIS DOESN'T HELP AT ALL AND YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE! FCA KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE, THEY'VE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 60,000, BUT MY CAR HAVING 83,XXX MILES THEY DON'T CARE. FIRST EXTENDED SERVICE CORPORATION WHO I PURCHASED AN "EXTENDED SERVICE AGREEMENT" THROUGH DOESN'T CARE EITHER. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR AND THE REPRESENTATIVE FLAT OUT TOLD ME "NO"...

WHEN STARTING TO SLIDE ON ICE A NOTIFICATION FLASHES WHERE YOUR MILEAGE SHOULD SHOW BUT IT DISAPPEARS SO QUICK DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN FOR A FEW SECONDS ALONG WITH ALL ELECTRICAL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ( NO SPEEDOMETER NO STEREO NO TOUCH SCREEN NO LIGHTS IN OR OUT) HOWEVER WHILE SLIDING IF YOU LET YOUR FOOT OFF THE BREAK THE ENGINE AND ALL THE LIGHTS SEEM TO REBOOT AND THE CAR GAINS POWER AGAIN. NOT SAFE AND SCARY AS HELL WHEN DRIVING IN A UPSTATE NY SNOW STORM

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE CAR AND AM CURRENTLY IN MY SECOND TIME OF DEALING WITH CHRYSLER TO BUY BACK MY VEHICLE AND THEY STILL ARE NOT DOING A THING ABOUT IT. WITH THE VEHICLE NOT SHIFTING RIGHT AND LOSING POWER AND NOW MY DEFROSTER IS GOING OUT ALSO THE RECALLS ON IT BUT THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR I REFUSE TO LET MY NEWBORN SON BE IN MY VEHICLE AND CHRYSLER DEFINITELY KNOWS ABOUT IT YET WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THO IT IS A LEMON.
