2016 DODGE DART Engine Problems

I HAVE HAD MY 2016 DODGE DART FOR 2 YEARS AND 5 MOS AND THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE CAR SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL OUT AND HAS PROBLEM GETTING POWER AND HAS A PULLING EFFECT WHEN GOING AT REGULAR SPEED, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TO REPLACE A COLI ON IT ALREADY; I DIDN'T EXPECT TO HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH A BRAND NEW CAR SO SOON AND HAVING TO PAY FOR REPLACING A COIL WHICH WAS QUITE PRICEY TO DO BUT I DID BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND ALSO BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL CHRYSLER PART WAS ON BACK ORDER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS; I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS BEING THAT MY CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD; AND I NOW AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN AND...

TAKATA RECALL. CAR STARTED FINE DROVE ABOUT A 1/2 MILE AND TURNED THEM VEHICLE JUST DIED. ENGINE STOPPED DEAD IN ITS TRACKS, AX STILL BLOWING JUST A LITTLE WARM, RADIO CONTINUES TO PLAY, ALL LIGHTS ARE ON AS NORMAL. BUT BATTERY LIGHT IS FLASHING. PUT CAR IN PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!! TO RESTART, CAR STARTS RIGHT UP AND DRIVES FINE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY SIGNS OF PROBLEMS.

THE VEHICLE KEPT TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED MORE OFTEN WHEN VEHICLE WAS COLD. CHECKED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR AT A MECHANIC AND ALL WAS FINE. ITS A PROBLEM WITH ENGINE OIL. THE CAR CONSUMES OIL AT A RATE OF APPROXIMATELY 1 QUARTS PER EVERY 500 MILES. WHEN THE OIL REACHES LOW LEVELS, THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO HIT THE BREAKS.

THERMOSTAT FAILED AT 47K MILES ON A 2016 DART. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER ENGINE WARRANTY BUT WASN'T. THE 2.4L HAS A HISTORY OF THERMOSTAT FAILINGS AND OUR DEALERSHIP REPLACES THEM CONSTANTLY.

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...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. IN OCTOBER OF 2016, WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (NAPLETON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, 1460 E OSCEOLA PKWY, KISSIMMEE, FL 34744) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS INADEQUATE OIL IN THE VEHICLE DURING PRODUCTION, WHICH CAUSED THE SENSOR TO SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE OIL INDICATOR WAS FLASHING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE A COMPRESSION TEST WAS COMPLETED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL WAS EVAPORATING AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DENIED THE CLAIM. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO ADD OIL AND REFER TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,638.

I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ONE YEAR AND SIX MONTHS BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND THIS US THE THIRD TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE CAR ACTS AS IF ITS GOING TO DIE OUT. THE PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM FIXED AND STATED THAT THE COILS WERE BAD. NOW I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. THE REASON WHT I BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE WAS TO AVOID ISSUES SUCH AS THIS. I TRADED IN A 2011 VEHICLE THAT I HAD BOUGHT USED HAD IT FOR FIVE YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISSUES NOR ANY OTHER ISSUES.

THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WAS FILED ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2016. IHTSA ID NUMBER 10906998. ORIGINALLY THE VEHICLE DYING WAS SAID TO BE DUE TO THE OIL NEEDING TO BE CHANGED AND SOMETHING WITH THE TURBO ENGINE THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE. SINCE THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS UPDATED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THERE WERE NO OTHER ISSUES AFTER THE COMPUTER SYSTEM UPDATE. APRIL 10TH THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A LOUD RATTLING SOUND. THE SOUND BEGINS ONCE YOU GET OVER 50-55MPH AND GETS LOUDER THE FASTER YOU GO AND THE LONGER YOU DRIVE. I RECORDED THE SOUND SO THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE A BICYCLE CHAIN. IT IS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE FOR THE RATTLING PROBLEM ON JUNE 21. TODAY WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE VEHICLE TRIED STALLING. AFTER DRIVE ABOUT 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE DIED...

THE CAR SHAKES VERY URUPTLY AT IDLE. YOU CAN LOOK AT THE ENGINE AND SEE IT'S SHAKING AT IDLE. IF YOU TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER ON IT GETS WORSE. RADIO SCREEN WILL NOT WORK SOMETIMES. BLUE TOOTH WILL WORK THEN CUT OFF THEN TURN BACK ON WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WORK THEN RANDOMLY NOT WORK WHERE I HAVE TO TURN THEM MANUALLY ON. WIPERS DO THE SAME AS THE HEADLIGHTS BUT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE FOR THE WIPERS IT TAKES TURNING OFF THE CAR AND TURNING IT BACK ON AND OUT THEM ON LOW. ENGINE WILL DIE RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT ANY SPEED. GPS WILL NOT LOAD SOMETIMES. THE BACK UP CAMERA WORKS WHEN SCREEN WORKS BUT ALSO FAILS WHEN SCREEN IS WORKING AND WHILE BACKING UP. DURING TAKE OFF THE CAR WILL STALL LIKE NO GAS THEN IT WILL GO LIKE IT'S GETTING GAS....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE BATTERY AND SERVICE ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE HAD NO OIL, WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE. AFTER ADDING OIL, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

THIS 2016 DART GT HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 13 TIMES SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH. THE BODY CONNECTOR HAS CORRODED TWICE AND BEEN REPLACED ALONG WITH SEVERAL CORRODED WIRES. THE TELEMATICS MODULE WAS ALSO REPLACED AFTER IT TESTED INCONSISTENT AND WORKING ONLY 20% OF THE TIME (THIS IS FOR THE UCONNECT AND BLUETOOTH). IF YOU HIT 10MPH SOMETIMES IT LIKES TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING THE GAS! WHILE STARTING THE CAR IT NOW LIKES TO SAY THE KEYFOB HAS NOT BEEN DETECTED EVEN WHEN THE KEY FOB IS RIGHT BY THE KEYLESS START. THE WIRELESS RECEIVER WAS REPLACED BUT IT SAID KEY FOB NOT DETECTED AGAIN. THIS WILL MAKE SERVICE VISIT #14! THIS CAR HAS SERIOUS COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE KEYFOB NOT BEING DETECTED ISSUE COULD BE DEADLY IF IT DOES IT WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN AND MAKES THE CAR INOPERABLE.

MY 2016 DODGE DART OVERHEATS THE RPM GOES UP AND DOWN WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. ON JUNE 26 MY CAR CUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND IT TOOK ME TEN MINS TO START IT UP MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF AND EVERY TIME I TAKE IT IN THEY SAY ITS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. MY OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE 100 PERCENT OIL IN MY CAR. WHEN I PUT ON BRAKES IT ACTS LIKE IT DOESNT WANT TO STOP SO IHAVE TO BRAKE FARTHER AWAY FROM PEOPLES CARS.
