2014 DODGE DART Engine Problems

I LOVE MY CAR. I DO NOT LOVE HAVING TO DUMP A QUART OF OIL IN IT EVERY 1,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT SHUT OFF. EVERYTHING SHUT OFF! I MANAGED TO GET IT RESTARTED AND MAKE IT BACK TO MY JOB BUT THEN HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BECAUSE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN AND WOULDN'T RESTART. AT THE TIME I HAD NO CLUE ABOUT THE OIL ISSUE AS I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2014. IT IS COSTING ME QUITE A BIT TO KEEP OIL IN IT. THE MANUFACTURER FLAW IS THAT THEY USED ALUMINUM PISTON WHICH BURN THROUGH THE OIL. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND MAY END IN DEATH FOR SOME UNSUSPECTING CONSUMER. ALSO, AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT OR SIGN THE CAR SHIFTS OUT OF DRIVE AS SOON AS...

THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND DOES NOT RESTART IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALER CHANGES MY OIL EVERY 5,000 MILES. IT APPEARS TO STALL EVERY 3-4,000 MILES. THE SOLUTION FOR THE DEALER NOW IS TO BRING MY CAR IN EVERY 1,000 MILES. THIS SEEMS EXCESSIVE AND IS NOT A SOLUTION TO THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM? SOMETIMES THE ENGINE TURNS OFF WHEN I'M IN TRAFFIC OR TRAVELING ON A BUSY STREET. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2014. IT'S ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY THE DEALER.

AS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER ABOUT A MILE FROM HOME MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER MOVE BUT GLIDE ALONG. THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER SPEED. YOU CAN STEP ON THE GAS AND IT WILL NOT MOVE. RPM'S DROP AND THE MOTOR TURNS OFF IN DRIVE. AFTER THIS HAPPENS THE CAR HESITATES TO START BUT WILL. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND ALL STATISTICS FOR THE CAR WERE AS THEY SHOULD BE. THE BATTERY IS SHOWING CORRECT VOLTAGE. THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN.

IF I BRAKE WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF STARTING MY VEHICLE, THE NEXT TIME I BRAKE ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON, THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL STAY ON, AND THE CAR WILL STALL. AFTER WAITING 5 TO 10 MINUTES THE CAR WILL START AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS WITHIN A WEEK OF WHEN MY CAR NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE. THIS HAPPENED 10/24/2017, 10/25/2017, AND 5/17/2018.

I BOUGHT A USED 2014 DODGE DART ACT IN SEPTEMBER 2017, IN LATE DECEMBER EARLY JANUARY I BROUGHT CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT KEPT STALLING OUT. THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE OIL WAS LOW. FAST FORWARD TO MAY. I'M ON THE WAY TO THE STORE AND MY CAR STALLS OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY 4YR DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. I GOT IT STARTED BACK UP AFTER A FEW MINS BUT IT STALLED OUT AFTER A MIN. THEN AGAIN LATER IN THE NIGHT 3 MORE TIMES IN LESS THEN A QUARTER MILE. THIS APPARENTLY IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AMONGST OTHER DADGE DART OWNERS. THIS PROBLEM COULD KILL PEOPLE AND DODGE IS DOING NOTHING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION.

ENGINE OVER-CONSUMES OIL. THE ENGINE WILL BE DRY FROM CONSUMING ALL OIL AT 4,000MILES.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE ENGINE WILL STALL RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT STILL NO RECALLS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. LUCKILY, IT'S ONLY HAPPENED ON LOW RPM. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND FIXED.

CROSSING A BUSY ROAD TO THE MIDDLE TURN LANE MY 2014 DODGE DART STALLED OUT AND HAD A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, LEAVING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND I WAS ALMOST TBONED. I WAS QUICKLY ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN TO GET INTO THE MIDDLE TURN LANE WHERE THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND TURN AROUND TO HEAD BACK HOME AND OFF THE ROAD. WHILE DRIVING 100FT THE CAR WAS STILL JERKING AS IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL YET AGAIN. I GET THE CAR HOME AND LEAVE IT PARKED TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP. THE ONLY THING THEY KEPT ASKING ME ABOUT OR WERE CONCERNED ABOUT WAS MY OIL AND IF I HAD BEEN DOING MY OIL CHANGES. SO, THEY OBVIOUSLY WERE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE FAILURE AND THE OIL. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP...

THE CAR LOSES POWER AND SHUTS OFF. THE OIL HAS TO BE TOPPED OFF EVERY 60 TO 90 DAYS OR THE CAR WILL NOT RUN OR WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP, IT MAY MAY NOT START AT ALL. OVER THE PAST YEAR, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 4 TIMES. THE LAST TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP COST OVER $500.00 FOR PARTS RELATIVE TO THE TRANSMISSION.

CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A PUBLIC STREET SEVERAL TIMES AND WOULDN'T START AT TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY JUST LEFT ME STRANDED. DURING THESE TIMES THERE WAS NO ERROR ON THE SCREEN LETTING ME KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS SO I JUST KEPT TRYING TO DRIVE IT. THEN AFTER AWHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON A FEW TIMES BUT IT WAS AT RANDOM TIMES AND DID NOT STAY ON. THE CAR ONLY HAS 18000 MILES AND I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR 2 YEARS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT DID NOT CHECK TO SEE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DIE SO QUICK. THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT I DON'T DRIVE IT ENOUGH AND THAT I STOP AND START IT TOO MUCH BECAUSE I WORK TOO CLOSE TO HOME... (THIS IS NOT MY FIRST CAR AND THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE). THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAD...

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...

"ENGINE STALLS OUT AND COMPLETELY DIES". THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY WITH MY SIX YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE ALREADY AND THIS WILL BE THE THIRD FINAL ATTEMPT FOR REPAIR. I'VE BROUGHT A NEW BATTERY EVEN AFTER IT PASSED SUCCESSFUL TESTING, AND THE ALTERNATOR PASSED AS WELL. THE FIRST TIME IT STOPPED ON ME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (HAD THE CAR TOLL TO THE NEAREST AUTOZONE FOR A NEW BATTERY) HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, 2ND TIME IT STOPPED TWO DAYS LATER ON THE INTERSTATE HAD THE CAR (THIS TIME I HAD IT TOLL TO THE DEALERSHIP) AND THEY PUT IN THE WORK ORDER WHAT I STATED DID NOTHING TO THE ENGINE AND ONLY COMPLETED...

CAR WAS WARM, NOT HOT OR COLD - JUST STARTED DRIVING. AT A STOP, CAR ENGINE DIED (ALL LIGHTS WERE ON, STEREO PLAYING). TRIED RESTARTING, CAR TURNED OVER, BUT WOULD NOT START.

THE CAR WAS DYING AT LIGHTS, ONRAMPS, OFFRAMPS, JUST BASICALLY ANYTIME THE OIL SLOSHED AROUND ENOUGH TO LOSE OIL PRESSURE AND SHUT OFF. AFTER 4K MILES, 40% OIL LIFE LEFT ACCORDING TO THE MONITOR, THE OIL DOESN'T EVEN REGISTER ON THE DIPSTICK, HAD TO ADD 2-3 QUARTS. WENT TO DODGE DEALERSHIP, DEALT WITH CHRYSLER CASE #'S AND REPS, WAS PROMISED A FIX AND NEVER GOT IT. OH YEAH, THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO CHARGE ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. HAD TO ARGUE WITH CHYRSLER CORPORATE FOR WEEKS TO GET THEM TO PAY. IS IT BURNING? LEAKING? IT'S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FOR SURE. THE EPA WOULD HAVE A FIELD DAY. THEIR EMISSIONS ARE PROBABLY COMPLETELY OUT THE WINDOW IF THEY ARE BURNING THAT MUCH OIL, OR RELEASING IT INTO THE WILD 1 DROP AT A TIME. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY ACCUMULATING OIL IN THE GARAGE OR MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK.I DON'T THINK...

DODGE DART USES 1QUART OF OIL 1,000 MILES #2 DOES NOT SHIFT IN CORECT GEAR #3 RUBBING IN THE FROUNT END WHEN STEARING.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY DART ON THE STREET, IT SHUT OFF INTO NUETRAL AND THE GEAR BOX LIT UP RED. I TRIED PRESSING ON THE GAS AND IT WAS JUST STALLING NOT MOVING AT ALL. I HAD TO PUT CAR IN PARK (IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION)TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON A FEW TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT INTO DRIVE AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE WHOLE GEAR BOX LIT UP AND WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE IT WAS ON NEUTRAL AND WAS STALLING THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE!

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE ENGINE WILL STALL RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WAS A SENSOR COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. OK GOOD. WELL A FEW DAYS AFTER, THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAY IT'S BECAUSE THE OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THE HUD SHOWED OVER 50% OIL LIFE LEFT. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW DAYS AGO. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO RESOLVE AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. I'VE NOTICED THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT STILL NO RECALLS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. LUCKILY, IT'S ONLY HAPPENED ON SURFACE STREETS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND FIXED.

THE MOTOR HAS HAD AN OIL LEAK THAT STARTED AT 3000 MILES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS MIGHT LEAD TO AN ENINE FIRE. I HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING. WITH THE POWERTRAIN THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE THEN SURGES FORWARD. THIS STARTED AROUND THE 5000 MILE MARK AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. IT ACTS LIKE THE CLUTCH SLIPS BUT I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND EVERY TIME I AM TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS WHEN SITTING IN TRAFFICE OR TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP BECAUE THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO MOVE AT FIRST AND THEN WHEN IT DOES LUNGE FORWARD IT IS NOT CONTROLABLE HOW FAR IT WILL ACTUALL GO.

2.4 L ENGINE STALLS AND DIES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR ALSO USES A GREAT DEAL OF OIL, WITH NO EVIDENCE OF A LEAK. HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES. MECHANICS DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. SEEMS LIKE A FAULTY ENGINE.

THE LAST 2 WEEKS MY 2014 DODGE DART WOULD STALL IN THE MORNING. DOESN'T MATTER WHEN AND WHERE. IT JUST LOSES ALL POWER. IT WONT START FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. AT ONE POINT AT 5:30 AM THE CAR STALLED ON A ONE WAY STREET IN A CANYON, WITH BACKED UP TRAFFIC. TODAY I GOT OUT OF THE WORK AROUND 2:30 PM AND WHILE GOING HOME IN BUSY TRAFFIC, IT STALLED IN AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A CAR BEHIND ME. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING AND CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN RECALLED.

STARTED HAVING ISSUES WHEN I STARTED LEASING IT IN 2014.IT HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 7 TIMES NOW, DUE TO STALLING OUT. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN,ITS BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE.IT STALLS OUT AT ALL TIMES,WHETHER IT BE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN THE MORNING,TURNING SLOWLY AROUND THE CORNER,DRIVING ON A LOCAL SIDE STREET GOING 30 MPH, WHEN I STARTED TO BRAKE BEFORE A SPEED BUMP, GOING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, I CAN KEEP GOING. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUN AROUND, PROBLEM CAN'T BE DUPLICATED, SO LETS GUESS. PCM REPLACED A COUPLE TIMES AS WELL AS THE FLASH UPDATES PERFORMED, PCV VALVE REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT STILL STALLS OUT. HAVE EVEN HAD TO PAY FOR A BATTERY BECAUSE THEY STATED THAT WAS THE ISSUE BEFORE AND IT WASN'T SO I HAD TO PAY FOR A BATTERY WHEN I COULD HAVE...

IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT 3 TIMES AND IT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO START BACK UP. I'VE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AND MECHANICS CANNOT DETERMINE THE ISSUE. THE STALLING HAS OCCURRED BETWEEN 2-5 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND ALWAYS WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THE MIDDLE OF MORNING RUSH HOUR ON CITY STREETS EACH TIME AND I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE BEFORE LOSING ALL MOMENTUM AND BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WHEN IT STALLS OUT ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASH ON AND THE ENGINE DIED. TWO OF THE TIMES HAPPENED AFTER MAKING A 90 DEGREE TURN, AND ONE TIME IT HAPPENED AFTER JUST GOING AROUND A CURVE IN THE ROAD. IT ALSO SEEMS TO OCCUR AS I AM ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. WHEN TRYING TO TURN IT BACK ON, THE LIGHTS AND ELECTRONICS WILL...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING, SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT CAUGHT FIRE THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE IF A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND STATED THAT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUGHT FIRE. THE SIDING OF THE HOUSE AND GARAGE WERE DAMAGED BY THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,970. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. UPDATED 05/09/17*LJ *AS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS BEING LOW ON TWO QUARTS OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

AT 7 AM IN THE DARK, THE VEHICLE WAS APPROACHING A TRAIN TRACKS CROSSING AND STOPPED/STALLED ON A TRAIN TRACKS APPROACH. ALL ELECTRONICS WERE CHECKED AND VERIFIED AS GOOD. STARTER WOULD NOT ENGAGE. WHILE MAKING ARRANGEMENTS FOR A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP, I CHECKED THIS BOARD FOR COMPLAINTS. SURE ENOUGH, THE LOW/NO ENGINE OIL ISSUE WAS THE ROOT CAUSE. THE ENGINE BURNS OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE AS IF IT WERE EVAPORATIVE. I WENT BACK AND ADDED A QUART. THE CAR FIRED RIGHT UP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP JUST TO BE SAFE FOR THEM TO CHECK IT OUT. OF COURSE, NO CODES WERE PREVALENT SO THEY COULD DO NOTHING BUT CHARGE ME FOR AN EXPENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC AND AN OIL CHANGE. THEY HAD IT FOR A WEEK. FCA SENT ME A SURVEY SO I MADE THEM AWARE OF IT. NOW, I (ALONG WITH MANY OF MY FELLOW DART OWNERS)...

I WOULD LIKE TO VOICE MY OPINION ON A SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVING THESE CARS WITH THE 2.4 LITER ENGINE. THESE CARS ARE USING OIL, WAY FASTER THAN THEY SHOULD. THE CARS STALL OUT LOSING ALL POWER AND STEERING IF THE OIL BECOMES TOO LOW. THERE ISN'T ANY INDICATOR LIGHT THAT YOU ARE LOW OR ANY SIGN UNTIL IT HAPPENS. CURRENTLY MY CAR IS USING JUST SHY OF A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1K MILES AND THIS IS ACCEPTABLE IN DODGE'S EYES. THEY ADVERTISE THESE CARS TO GO 6-8K MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES - NO MORE THAN 10K MILES! WELL, AT 5.5 QT CAPACITY... YOU WILL ALWAYS RUN OUT PLUS SOME BEFORE A CHANGE IS DUE! I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE COMMENTING ABOUT THEIR VEHICLE STALLING OUT ON HIGHWAYS, ETC WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MAJORITY OF PEOPLE I'M SURE ARE NOT THINKING TO CHECK THEIR OIL ON THEIR NEW CAR WITH EVERY...

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED NOVEMBER 2016. VEHICLE HAS AROUND 37000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL RANDOMLY HAVE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND THE BATTERY LIGHT WOULD TURN ON. ALSO, WHEN I WOULD TRY TO START THE VEHICLE AFTER IT SHUT OFF IT WOULD TAKE A FEW ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. IN THE PAST WEEK IT HAD HAPPENED 4 TIMES. I HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENS WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF TURNING ON THE CAR AND IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 6+ HOURS. IN ONE INCIDENT I WAS TURNING ONTO A MAJOR ROAD AND IT SHUT OFF WHILE CARS WERE COMING. THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD TOWARD MY SAFETY AND OTHERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. UPDATED 02/15/2017*CT

CAR STARTING STALLING/DYING WHEN DRIVING IN JUNE 2016. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (UNDER WARRANTY) THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY. AFTER 2 MONTHS THE HEATER/AC STOPPED WORKING AND THE CAR BEGAN STALLING AGAIN. IN NOVEMBER THE CAR BEGAN STALLING/DYING WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THE CAR DIES LEAVING YOU WITH NO POWER AND STUCK IN TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN DURING A TURN ON MOST OCCASIONS. I FEAR GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THIS. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN INVESTIGATED. THE AVERAGE IS 20,00-30,000 MILES. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT OR LOSSES A LIFE BEFORE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS CAR IS MADE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL , WHEN I GOT THE CAR FORM THE DEALERSHIP TILL NOW I PUT A BIT OVER SEVEN THOUSAND MILES ON A VERY NEW 2014 DODGE DART GT BESIDES THE OCCASIONAL CLUTCH GETTING STUCK WHEN I ENGAGED IT FORCING ME TO HAVE TO PICK IT UP WITH MY TOE I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR NO STALLING OR ROUGH SHIFTS UNTIL LAST NIGHT WHEN I LOST ALL CONTROL WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO QUICKLY SWERVE OF THE ROAD OR BE HIT BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME . ENGINE WHICH STILL RUN AND CAN ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL NOT MORE IN ANY GEAR 1-6 OR EVEN REVERSE AND EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM ON LOTS ODD DODGE DARTS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED THEY SAID MY VIN DOESN'T FALL UNDER THERE RECALL DATES. *TR

VEHICLE ENGINE IS DYING AT RANDOM IN TRAFFIC- EITHER WHILE STOPPED OR IN MOTION AT LOW SPEEDS. ELECTRICALS REMAIN ON, BUT ALL DRIVING POWER IS LOST. VEHICLE DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART. DEALERSHIP BELIEVED THE ISSUE TO BE OIL CONSUMPTION, BUT VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AFTER OIL WAS CHANGED AND REFILLED. *TR

TAKATA RECALL THIS 2014 DODGE DART AERO HAS NOW HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUTCH AND AXLES. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP TO HAVE THE SLAVE CYLINDER FOR THE CLUTCH AS WELL AS THE AXLES FIXED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 2 YEARS. THEY ARE ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING IN TO WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. THIS MAKES 2 TIMES THAT IT HAS GONE TO THE SHOP FOR CLUTCH AND AXLE ISSUES. THEY ALSO DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO BUY THE CAR BACK AND THEY WONT. THEY ALSO STATED THAT I MAY BE HAVING TO PAY SOME OUT OF POCKET TO GET MY CAR FIXED THIS TIME. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE; TWICE FOR THE CLUTCH AND AXLES, THE ENGINE LIGHT IS...

CAR WOULDN'T START HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTING HARNESS WITHIN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS OF OWNING THE CAR HAD TO REPLACE TWO BATTERIES EVEN AFTER THE HARNESS WAS REPLACED BUT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE. HAD TO REPLACE THE TURBO HOSE ASSEMBLY FROM PULLING IN OIL AND CRACKED SINCE THE OIL WAS HOT. NOW IM HAVING TO PUT IN A QUART OF OIL IN IT EVERY MONTH AND I CHANGE MY OIL EVERY TWO AND HALF MONTHS (5,000 MILES) SO MY ENGINE IS BURNING THE OIL OFF TO QUICKLY (OIL CONSUMPTION). ALSO DROVE HIT A VERY SMALL POTHOLE AND HAD MY DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM SNAP VERY VERY CLEANLY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTIES.

WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT MADE A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR JUST DIES THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DOES NOT WANT TO START RIGHT AWAY TAKES A FEW MIN IT STARTED THIS IS SCARY BECAUSE MY 1997 DODGE TRUCK STILL HAS ALL ORIGINAL STUFF AND NEVER THESE PROBLEMS

BOUGHT A 2014 DODGE DART 2 YEARS. HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT TILL RECENTLY WHEN CAR STARTED TO SHUT OFF WHILE RUNNING IN MOTION. I LOST POWER STEERING CONTROL AND POWER TO THE WHOLE CAR. INCIDENT HAPPENED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASION. THREE TIMES ON RESIDENTIAL ROAD AND ONCE ON FREEWAY. COMPLETELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER MULTIPLE TIMES. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. CONTACTED CHRYSLER DODGE AND THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO HAVE ME TOW CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND PAY TO HAVE CAR SERVICED EVEN THOUGH CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. CAR HAS PUT MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHER PEOPLE IN DANGER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE COMPANY SEEMS TO NOT CARE EVEN AFTER CONTACTING THEM FORMALLY WITH COMPLAINT.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2014 DODGE DART AERO AND ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR STALLED AND SHUT OFF, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A CODE BUT THEY SAW AN ISSUE WITH MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. A PART TO MY TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED, WE WAITING FOR OVER 3 MONTHS FOR THE PART AND UPON BRINGING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPORTED MY CAR NOT STARTING. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER MY TRANSMISSION RECALL WAS "FIXED" MY ENGINE STARTING SMOKING UPON STARTING THE CAR AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND MY ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED, THEY AGAIN REPORTED MY CAR WOULD NOT CRANK. MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 27 DAYS, TWO DAYS AFTER PICKING MY CAR UP IT WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALOR FOR THE CAR FEELING LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE USED OVER A QUART OF OIL IN 1,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO BE DOCUMENTED FOR A FEW MONTHS, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,000.

PULLING TO A STOP ON THE MORNING OF TUESDAY, JUNE 21, CAR SHUDDERED THEN DIED 1 BLOCK FROM HOME. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AND NONE HAD FLASHED IN THE 1.5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. COULD NOT GET CAR TO START FOR 10 MINUTES. ONCE CAR STARTED, NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED. DROVE IT TO MY LOCAL SERVICE STATION FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY FOUND NO ISSUES. DROVE IT ALL DAY WEDNESDAY WITH NO ISSUES. THURSDAY MORNING, IT SHUDDERED AND DIED ABOUT 3 BLOCKS FROM HOME. AGAIN NO WARNING LIGHTS, AND CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED TO LOCAL SERVICE STATION WHERE IT WAS SERVICED ON TUESDAY. WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW, SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR COMMON DODGE DART PROBLEMS, AND DISCOVERED THAT THEY BURN THROUGH OIL. CHECKED THE OIL AND ZERO OIL WAS REGISTERED ON THE DIPSTICK, DESPITE HAVING JUST OVER 3K MILES SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE. NO...

THIS VEHICLE HAVE HAD TWO OCCASIONS OF MASTER CYLINDER BRAKE FLUID LOSS AND UNEXPLAINED TOTALL ENGINE OIL EVAPORATION WITHOUT WARNING THAT CAUSED THE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED IN CITY, NOT HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE OIL WAS BURNING. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED OIL SPOTS ON THE DRIVEWAY, WHICH INDICATED THAT OIL WAS LEAKING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL PAN WAS THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE OIL WAS NOT LEAKING ANYMORE, BUT IT STARTED TO BURN OUT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO CONSTANTLY BE FILLED WITH OIL. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND OIL WAS ADDED, THE LIGHT DIMMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

I HAVE A 2014 DODGE DART THAT IS BURNING OIL AT WHAT SEEMS TO ME TO BE AN ALARMING RATE. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP OVER 4 TIMES. I AM BEING TOLD I HAVE NO LEAKS AND MY CAR IS FINE, AND THAT IT IS CHARACTERISTIC THAT MY CAR NEEDS TO HAVE OIL ADDED EVERY 2K MILES. I DRIVE MY CAR TO AND FROM WORK AND I RARELY TRAVEL OUT OF STATE. I AM NOT OVER DRIVING OR ROUGH DRIVING MY CAR BY ANY MEANS. I HAVE SPENT OVER 1K DOLLARS IN RENTALS AND REPAIRS. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD SON THAT I DRIVE TO DAYCARE 4 DAYS A WEEK AND I CANNOT MENTALLY BE COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY SON IN A CAR THAT STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE ITS OUT OF OIL. DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING TO HELP ME AND I AM SEEKING...

THAT VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF HAS I'M DRIVING

TIGER SHARK MULTI-AIR 2 ENGINE CONSUMES 1QT OIL PER 1000 MILES. I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND THE OIL WENT TO LOW AND ENGINE IS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF. THIS STALLING HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES TO AND 1 TO THE DEALERSHIP. NONE OF THE CARS WARNING INDICATORS COME ON WHEN PRESSURE IS LOW THE CAR JUST STALLS. DEALERSHIP RESOLUTION WATCH OIL LEVEL AND THERE IS FIX FOR THE CONSUMPTION OR ANY WAY FOR THE WARNING LIGHTS TO BE TRIGGERED. SO IF I FORGET TO CHECK THE OIL I AM GAMBLING WITH MY LIFE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IF THE CAR STALLS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.

MY 2014 DODGE DART LOSES OIL. THE OIL INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. HOWEVER THE OIL IS NOT LEAKING ON THE GROUND AND ONCE THERE IS NO OIL AT ALL IN THE VEHICLE, IT SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS UPON TAKING OFF. THE CAR HAS TO PUT IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO START.

I TAKE MI CAR TO THE DEALER WEN I FIRST BUY NEW MORE THAN 15 TIMES AND THEY FOUND NOTHING AND THIS CAR IT'S CONTINUE WITH PROBLEMS IN NORMAL DAILY DRIVE. IDLE PROBLEMS IN THE ENGINE SUSPENSION NOISE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING NOT NORMAL IN DRIVE POSITION TIRES WEAR TO FAST EXHAUST SMELL FUEL TO STRONG IN ENGINE COOL TEMP ALL THIS HAPPEN IN STATIONARY AND DRIVING IN MOTION AND NORMAL DRIVE IS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME

PURCHASED THE DODGE DART RALLYE IN JULY 2014. DEC 2014 THE ENGINE BLEW BECAUSE OF OIL SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ENGINE. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 30+ DAYS.FEB 2014 THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS A LOUD NOISE AND WHITE PUFF OF SMOKE CAME FROM THE ENGINE AND THE CAR STARTED. DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP.THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG IT COULD OF BEEN CONDENSATION.A MONTH LATER THE ELECTRIC INSIDE THE CAR WASN'T WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I ALSO BROUGHT THE CAR BACK BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS VERY LOUD AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO GEAR.THEY SAID THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IS WHAT WAS CAUSING THE LOUD NOISE. I REPLACED THE TIRES AND STILL HAD THE LOUD NOISE AND DIFFICULTLY SHIFTING. EACH TIME...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED. AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE ENGINE, BATTERY, AND STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TWICE, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

IN MID 2014, I WAS DRIVING THAT YEAR'S MODEL OF A CHEVY DART, RENTED FROM ENTERPRISE WHILE VISITING FRIENDS IN ARIZONA. ALONG HWY 17, THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF BRIEFLY. THE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL WAS STILL ON, BUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE GONE. THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS SHUT OFF, BUT I REMEMBER THE CABIN STILL HAD POWER BECAUSE I QUICKLY TURNED ON THE HAZARDS. I BELIEVE IT WAS A PLASTIC TURN-KEY, AND IT BEING REIGNITED, THAT ALLOWED ME TO REGAIN CONTROL. IT WAS A STEEP, WINDY ROAD. IT WAS ABOUT 10 AT NIGHT AND THERE WAS A LOT OF DARKNESS WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS.THERE WAS A BIG RIG IN THE NEXT LANE IN FRONT OF ME, AND HEAVY VEHICLES TO THE REAR. IT WAS DEFINITELY A CLOSE CALL.

WHILE DRIVING I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN TO STOP AT A LIGHT AND MY CAR BEGAN TO JUMP AS IF IT WAS STAILING. MY CAR WAS BRAND NEW AT PURCHASING AND ABOUT FOUR MONTHS IN IT BEGAN TO SOUND LOUDER AS IF IT WAS A TEN YEAR OLD CAR. THAT OCCURED WHEN I CRUNK UP THE CAR TO WARM IT UP IN THE MORNING. READING OTHERS EXPERIENCES WITH THIS VEHICLE I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE BEFORE THINGS GET WORSE. AN ENGINE IS NOTHING TO TAKE LIGHTLY AND I HOPE THE COMPANIES REALIZE THAT.
