The contact’s son owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 121,000.

The dodge dealership had me to come in to reprogram my cars pcm(under Recall) because it was burning a quart of oil in less than 300 miles and getting extremely hot but now the engine has less oil burn as much as before but has less horsepower(tested by plugin meter) and has a ton of blowby that it blows oil out of drain plug there is no error codes or anything but the extended warranty test for a new engine isnt covered because they reprogrammed the pcm and to get a new engine under their extended warranty i would have to lose the amount of oil that i was previously before they touched the PCM they waited to show me the extended warranty after they reprogrammed it a year prior withholding that i could been eligible for new engine without catastrophic damage this car also has bcm 3 that has...

The electrical has a parasitic drain and it puts so much strain on the car that it will shut down on highways and in idle surging and it has no error codes popping up at all it originally started happening July 12th 2016 but a lot of these 2015 dodge darts are having these issues and having shut downs in the middle of intersections-highways and so on that this needs to be urgently recalled I desperately need help with this i take care of my disabled mother by myself and this has been a issue with this car for a while and well documented at the dealership with no help or recourse

I am the original owner of this vehicle and have used this vehicle as my primary vehicle that has been well maintained in excellent mechanical condition with no accidents. The issue is the continuous flexing of the wire harness routed from the truck to body opening which continues to wiring shorts and breakage resulting in failure of the rear back up lamps, rear taillamp lighting and back up camera operation. Failure of these critical safety related items provide increased risk of personnel injury and property due to loss of rear visibility to the vehicle operator along with disabling the back up light signature to warn surrounding vehicle traffic of intended backup maneuvering leading to personnel injury and vehicle collision. A caution signal of backup lamp outage appears on the instrument panel along with continued outage and flicking of the rear camera function. This wire harness has been repaired at the...

Hello my car has so many safety and risks the engine electric and transmission very dangerous please help

I am having an intermittent, no communication with TCM, Active stabiliy control light comes on, the vehicle feels like it pops into neutral jarring the vehicle and once this happens i have code U0101 in PCM,ABS, ESM, BCM,IPC,RFH along with a U11C2 code in the PCM. also sometimes when this happens if i turn the vehicle off it won’t start again. I have not brought it to the dealership as i can’t afford it, but 2013-2015 dodge dart has a recall for the tcm because of the tcm bracket, causing almost ever issue my vehicle has. And i was told it is engine specific but the 1.4,2.0, and 2.4 all came with the same TCM and bracket. I aquired this vehicle 2 months ago and i have had the issue intermittently since i got it. i am a mechanic over 10 years and i have replaced the alternator due to...

Every since July 12th, 2016 25,993 I’ve had this car checked for electrical problems at the dealership and they always say they can see the drain but they couldn’t help but the problem has been tracked down to the body control module #3 electrical that stays on drawing 1.5amps every second and surges and tons of other people have the same issue as me proof all over the internet also it leaks a ton of oil out of the pvc into the intake coating the map sensor making it idle rough

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while the vehicle was being serviced at Jiffy Lube, the mechanic became aware that coolant was leaking from the engine onto the radiator. The vehicle was then taken to AAMCO where it was diagnosed that the valve cover gasket was leaking oil into the engine and onto the transmission. The mechanic also informed the contact that there was a cord hanging from the bottom of the vehicle but could not determine where the cord needed to be connected. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 148,000.

I’ve noticed a few times where the key fob would get stuck in the ignition of the car when I turn it off, I would have to turn the car back on and sit it in for at least 5 minutes before the fob would come out. Then the bushing cable got disconnected, the key fob stopped working I had a buy a new one and I’m still having the same issue of the fob getting stuck in the ignition. The first this issue happened was in 2023 and it’s still happening, just found out that I can file a complaint about it

Key fob gets stuck in the ignition. I have to set in the car for about 10 minutes before it will release. I did take to have looked at and the ignition switch and fob was replaced. However, still doing the same thing. As I look on You Tube, I am not the only one having this problem with this car. I have been dealing with this issue and just finding out I can put in a complaint. I have attached copy of the receipt.

I have a warning light on my car for P1065 and P1061 codes. These two codes comes and go away on their own. It usually occurs after starting the car and driving it for a few minutes. This causes the car to shake and slow down suddenly in the middle of the road. The car stops to shake only when I shut it off and turn it back on right away. Another issue is that my car key get stuck in the ignition sometimes after shutting it ofand I have to wait a few seconds for the key to come off or press the button on the gearshift handle a few times to make it come out. I wonder if this is related to the Transmission Shift Cable Bushing safety recall repair that was done a few years ago on dodge dart vehicles Lastly, I have been getting the "parking...

ECM causing car to accelerate

My car kept dying on me randomly flashing a light on my dash of a lightning bolt in between two curved lines. I researched it and it was saying that my throttle positioner was going out.

The ECM/Throttle Positioning System has been faulting for a while and only getting worse causing the car to just randomly steal with no power. Usually can shut off and restart car and itll be good for 1 min - 30 min you never really know. I got stranded in the middle of the highway and couldn't start my car after it died while driving down the road.

Ongoing issue of the key fob getting stuck in the ignition. You have to take the cover of the gear shift off and push the relay to release the lock in the ignition. This has been on multiple dodge darts that I have found. The key gets stuck and cannot get it out

Message warm engine before start. Car won’t start message key fob damaged when it’s not. Engine clicks but no engine turn over.

The car intentionally starts. The radio sometimes works and sometimes has no power. It loses the air conditioner and power windows. It burns off excessive amounts of coolant. It smells like it is running hot but isn't. When turning key the gages bounce and it clicks and clicks. Sometimes it starts and other times it will not. Multiple people have stated the same issues. Spending good amount of money on batteries, starters and alternator. The issue continues. The car is at 94k miles.

I was driving the other day dropping off food for a customer and as I shifted my car from park to drive it wouldn’t change gears. Now let me remind u I’m stuck in the middle of these strangers driveway as they’re trying to leave their home and I cannot switch into reverse so I had to keep my foot on that break pedal the entire time. Thank god they were very understanding ( because who knows what could’ve happened) and said they were leaving for something that wasn’t very important and would go another day. Come to find out it was my CABLE SHIFTER WHICH I HAD ALREADY HAD REAPIRED PREVIOUSLY AS A RECALL. I haven’t even been able to drive the car because it will not shift into any gear. It’s currently just sitting across the street in my apartment complex as I have no way to work...

I cannot cut the car off without turning off the battery to release the key.

Car stutters when you crank it up. check engine light cuts on and off. Windows , Sunroof , Trunk all don’t work. Trunk won’t open. Sunroof and Windows won’t roll or close . Car staggers at 28mph. I have been locked in my car and locked out. Rearview cameras and charger port don’t work. Headlights blow every 2 weeks resulting in multiple tickets. Car will say brake lights , and headlights are out when they are not. I have been locked in my car before for several hours, because it wouldn’t let me out. Car doors will not lock. When you unlock the car lights won’t flash. Have to get an oil change often because it burns ALOT of gas. Car has cut off in the middle of a busy street after an oil change , because it needed oil.

It’s been having trouble starting. It started with the air conditioning going out, then it would stall in the middle of driving there are some fuses that are burnt up. And some wires in vehicle that are burnt up. When we have trouble starting jumping the vehicle would start it but still would try to stall. Finally the vehicle started stalling on us the power steering is out and we had to pull over we thought jumping it would just kick it back on til we got home. But when we tried it wouldn’t start and where the electrical fuel is it started smoking like it was going to catch fire. And I am having to find a way to get it into shop. But for now it’s left where we got stalled out.

The car stalls completely at random speeds and consumes a huge amount of oil. This stalling is extremely dangerous as it happens at even highway speeds. This is not a unique problem as I have read hundreds of accounts of the exact same thing happening on the exact same vehicle type.

The car is over heating and the ecm (brain) is messed up. I have only made the 2nd payment on the car and only got to drive it about a week and the tire sensor stays on

Unknown , I was driving down the road at 50 mph and my battery light came on then I lost my a/c my lights started flickering and I then lost power steering and brakes I had to use my emergency brake to slow down then all of my check engine and brake failure lights were flickering and my fuse box on top of my battery caught fire and was smoking and my car then shut off I could have crashed and or been hit and killed

My number 3 cylinder is the only problem. This had been the the third time I've had this problem in the last three years.

I have had so many problems with this vehicle. I have had to replace two coils, had the air conditioner fixed, had to replace my rear shocks, which caused me to have to buy two new rear tires, the windshield wiper motor was replaced, my car was burning oil until I got a recall for that. Now my blower fan for the heater is not working, I only have 66000, miles on this car. All these issues could really cause dangerous problems. When my 1st coil went out I couldn't get my car restarted in the middle of town. When the 2nd coil went out my car would barely move and this happened before I got the recall for the engine oil problem. Now I will have to repair the blower fan because the defroster and heat aren't working.

System: Electrical system failed and car completely lost power (for at least the fourth time), this time while driving. Yes, this car is available for inspection with some advance warning. Safety: If I had been driving in a less safe area at a higher speed and the car just shut off like it did today, but in the middle of the highway, I would have been in danger of getting hit by other drivers. Reproduced: The problem is intermittent. The problem has happened at least four times PLUS the numerous times it doesn't start the first time but will the second time I turn the key. Inspected: The car has not yet been inspected, except for being with the dealer for an entire day in July for recall work, cracked oil valve gasket, and various service work. Messages: After turing a corner (traveling about 25 mph on a military installation),...

The contact called on behalf of his daughter who owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that his daughter experienced a failure with oil consumption. The contact stated that his daughter stated while driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that oil was spilling onto the engine. There was no leaks present. The contact was informed that the ECM needed to be reprogramed. The ECM was reprogrammed however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while driving at 70 MPH, the radio engaged on its own and the vehicle lost power steering. Several warning lights such as the brake system light, the battery light, the airbag light, and the engine light were illuminated. The steering wheel became difficult to maneuver but the contact was still able to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with the battery and alternator needing to be replaced, and was repaired. The failure reoccurred today while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the vehicle as the OBD reader failed to work. The vehicle was also taken to an unknown dealer who was unable to diagnose the vehicle for the same reason. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of...

WHILE DRIVING DOWN MY STREET AND ACCELERATING, THE CAR STALLED OUT. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH. HAD A HUNCH AND CHECKED THE OIL. IT WAS NEARLY BONE-DRY. ADDED TWO QUARTS AND IT APPEARS TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE TO BE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. WITH THE LACK OF WARNING LIGHT, AND JUST UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I'M JUST GLAD I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY (AS OTHER DART OWNERS I'VE TALKED TO HAVE BEEN).

CAR CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY RESULTING IN A ACCIDENT

TOUCHSCREEN BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY DUE TO AUTOMATIC SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL WARMERS THAT CANNOT BE DISABLED AS A RESULT.

HAD THIS 2015 DODGE DART FOR 1 WEEK. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED ME 546.74 FOR A CAR THAT I BOUGHT A WEEK AGO, FOR A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT CAUSED BY ME. THE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AFTER SITTING FOR A DAY. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF AND THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE REAR SIGNAL LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRUNK LID WOULD NOT OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS. THE WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER BREWBAKER DODGE, CHRYSLER AND JEEP LOCATED AT 300 EASTERN BLVD, MONTGOMERY, AL 36117, WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 174,000.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I HAD IT CHECKED IT'S NOT READING ANYTHING. MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LIGHT KEEP GOING OUT. I HAVE PAID FIRESTONE IN EAST CHASE IN MONTGOMERY AL TO REPLACE THE SOCKET AND I HAVE HAD THE BULB CHANGED OUT AT LEAST 3 TIMES. MY TRUNK STARTED OUT OPENING BY IT SELF. I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED IN THE REMOTE. NOW THE TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. THE REVERSE LIGHTS ARE OUT. I REPLACED THE BULBS. STILL WON'T WORK, THE TRUNK LIGHT IS OUT. NOW THE CAR HAS STARTED TO BEEP BEEP LIKE I HAVE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED THE DOOR WHEN I HAVE NOT TOUCHED IT. I HAVE TO REPLACE MY BATTERY EVERY 3 MONTHS. SOMETHING IS WRONG. I HAVE PAID MONEY AT BREWBAKER AND FIRESTONE IN MONTGOMERY AL. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I START THE CAR UP. THE CAR BEEPS BEEPS...

IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING OR TAKEING A SLIGHT CURVE, CAR WILL SHUT OFF. MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL REBOOT UCONNECT SYSTEM & THE AC SYSTEM AS WELL DURING DRIVE. RED TEXT IS SHOWN ON THE DISPLAY OF THE INFO SCREEN IN SIDE DASH BUT CANT SEE IT DUE TOO CAR RESETTING.

THE RADIO SCREEN GOES BLACK AND THE CLIMATE CONTROLS DO NOT FUNCTION AS IT IS CONTROLLED TOGETHER. THIS MEANS I CANNOT OPERATE THE FRONT OR REAR DEFROST WHICH CAN LEAD TO VISIBILITY ISSUES AND A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PRETTY MUCH EVERY RECALL THAT IS ON THE LIST NUMBER ONE IT STARTED WITH MY CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. AND THE CODES THAT KEPT ON COMING UP OR FOR THE PLUGS AND COILS. I WOULD REPLACE THEM AND THEY WOULD JUST GO BAD AGAIN IN LIKE A WEEK IT IS CAUSING MY CAR TO DO WHAT SEEMS LIKE IT'S MISFIRING. MY TIRE LIGHT IS STUCK ON WHEN THE TIRES ARE FINE. THE SPEED CONTROL STOPS WORKING ON AND OFF. WHEN I STEER THERE'S A LOUD CLICKING NOISE. WHENEVER I TRY TO SHIFT HERE LATELY SOMETIMES IT WON'T GO INTO GEAR. WHEN I TURN ON THE AC IT WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO MISFIRE AND THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO TURN OFF THE AC AND RESTART THE CAR SOMETIMES THREE TO FOUR TIMES BEFORE IT STOPS MESSING UP.TODAY THE SCARIEST THING...

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS TWO WEEKS APART MY CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF A RESTAURANT I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO START AND THE SECOND TIME IT WAS AFTER MIDNIGHT I WAS LEAVING WORK AND I TURNED INTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY(THANK GOD THERE WASN'T AND BIG TRUCKS COMING)CAUSE AS SOON AS I TURNED ONTO THIS HIGHWAY MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT START.I WORK ON A HIGHWAY WHERE THERE ARE ABOUT EIGHT DIFFERENT TRUCK STOPS WHO ALL SERVICE AND PROVIDE FUEL FOR EIGHTEEN WHEELERS I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. *TR

THE CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF, I'M NOT A MECHANIC I DONT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS I AM WASTING MONEY TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS WELL AS MY OIL GOES AWAY REALLY FAST I HAVE TO GET AN OIL CHANGE SOONER THAN MOST EVEN USING THE GOOD SYNTHETIC OILS FROM THE DEALERSHIPS.

AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM , BATTERY LIGHT STILL ON . I INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR .BUT STILL DOING THE SAME. THING. CALLED DODGE AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. AND WANT TO CHARGE ME $169.00 DOLLARS FOR A DIAGNOSIS. NO WARRANTY. SO RUNS TILL THE BATTERY IS DRAINED. AND I'M STRANDED. HELP PLEASE.

MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON GOING TO WORK , LEFT WORK BATTERY LIGHT WAS OUT. NEXT DAY GOING THUR A DRIVE THUR TO GET FOOD BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN AND CAR STARTS RUNNING ROUGH LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL OUT. LEFT TO GO HOME. CAR WOULD NOT RUN FASTER THEN 15MPG THE WHOLE WAY BACK. THE DRIVER'S DASHBOARD WAS GOING HAYWIRE AND EVERYTHING WAS FLASHING ON MY DASHBOARD AND NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. GOT HOME CAR WON'T START. TOOK BATTERY TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND RECHARGED. WENT BACK TO NORMAL. ONE WEEK LATER BATTERY LIGHT BACK ON AGAIN. LEFT WORK AGAIN LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT POWER STEERING COULD'VE BEEN HAZARDOUS AND MAYBE DEADLY. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. NO WARRANTY.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR NOT EVEN A YEAR AGO AND IT HAS BEEN SHAKING EVER SINCE THE CV AXELS GOT PLAY IN THEM CAUSE THE CAR TO SHAKE AND THEY WORE DOWN VERY FAST AND CAUSE MY ROTORS TO GO OUT AND MY FRONT TIRES TO GO BALD

WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, IT COMPLETELY DIED WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING IT STARTED AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NYLE MAXWELL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF AUSTIN LOCATED AT 13401 RANCH RD 620 N, AUSTIN, TX 78717, (512) 219-3634, WAS CONTACTED AND REFUSED TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CAR SWITCHES GEARS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT ALSO TAKES A LONG TIME FOR THE KEY TO BE RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. A GLITCH IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAUSES MY LIGHTS TO GO DIM OR COMPLETELY TURN OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING.

I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND WALKED INTO WORK AND WHILE I WAS GONE AND MY CAR WAS OFF IT CAUGHT ON FIRE IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT AND IS NOW TOTALED.

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAR WILL JERK, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL TURN OFF AND THE DASH WILL LIGHT UP SAYING ELECTRIC BRAKE SERVICE, I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE PANEL IF NEEDED, ALSO THE CAR WILL NOT ALWAYS START WHEN THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED, TRACTION CONTROL ALSO LIGHTS UP FOR NO REASON, THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE OCT, 3 2019

2015 DODGE DART. THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER HAS STOPPED WORKING. IT AFFECTS THE MILES TO EMPTY, THE FUEL GAUGE, ALSO THE GAS TANK LIGHT IS ON. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX. AT THE DEALER JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM (WHEN YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS) COSTS $175.00. ACCORDING TO REPAIR PAL IT IS: HTTPS://REPAIRPAL.COM/ESTIMATOR/DODGE/DART/FUEL-LEVEL-SENDING-UNIT-REPLACEMENT-COST THE AVERAGE COST FOR A DODGE DART FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT REPLACEMENT IS BETWEEN $708 AND $1,372. LABOR COSTS ARE ESTIMATED BETWEEN $61 AND $78 WHILE PARTS ARE PRICED BETWEEN $647 AND $1294. ESTIMATE DOES NOT INCLUDE TAXES AND FEES.

THE CAR IS USING OIL AND WILL COMPLETELY DIE WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT BECOMES EMPTY IF I COME TO A STOP IT WILL COMPLETELY DIE AND I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND THE CAR STRUGGLES TO TURN BACK ON. DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE ON SO MANY DARTS AND NOTHING IS BEING FIXED. THIS ENGINE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! TWICE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES THIS LAST TIME I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY EMPTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING THAT I HAD THE CAR.
