What 362 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Dodge Dart

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 YOU RELEASE THE BREAK AND PRESS ON THE GAS. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT AS IT WILL MOVE SLIGHTLY IN TO THE INTERSECTION AND THEN ACTS LIKE IT ISN'T GOING TO GO ANYWHERE WHEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN JUMPS BACK INTO DRIVE. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD AND I AM UNSURE WHY THIS ISSUE AND THE OTHER ISSUES WITH THE 2014 DART ARE NOT BEING INVESTIGATED AND NO RECALLS ARE BEING ISSUED FOR THIS VIN #. OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE ISSUES. SINCE THE ISSUES CAN END IN FATALITIES IT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT A LOT CLOSER THAN IT IS. THESE ISSUES ARE CONTINUAL, THERE ISN'T JUST ONE DATE FOR THEM.

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.

NHTSA ODI 11096734

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 THAT I HAVE COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION OF EVERY OIL CHANGE HAVING BEEN DONE ON TIME, EVERY TIME AND THAT I WASN'T EVEN DUE FOR MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP STILL SUGGESTED I CHECK MY OIL LEVEL. I CHECK MY OIL AND IT'S SO LOW THAT NOTHING IS ON THE DIP STICK, MY ENGINE WAS DRY OF OIL WITHOUT MY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR EVER HAVING GONE OFF AND ZERO OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY. I CALLED IMMEDIATELY AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND STILL UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALERSHIP CALLS ME TO INFORM ME THAT THE INFORMATION I HAVE THEM WAS CORRECT THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY CAR, NO OIL LEAKS AND NO RESIDUE OF OIL TO BE FOUND! THEY THEN PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THEY'VE FILLED IT WITH OIL AND I'M REQUIRED TO CONTINUE DRIVING THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE THAT ALREADY ALMOST HAD ME TBONED FOR ANOTHER 1,000 MILES TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BEFORE CHRYSLER WILL POSSIBLY APPROVE ME FOR A NEW MOTOR THAT IS STILL COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE OF THE MOTOR JUST BURNING THE OIL IN THIS CAR AND THAT IT'S DANGEROUS.

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 THIS CAR SERVICED. THE ENTIRE FIRST YEAR I KEPT GETTING AN ERROR THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS TOO LOW AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS JUST AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM BUT I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES RIGHT AWAY ON A BRAND NEW CAR. SO IT'S ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE TIRES/WHEELS ON A BRAND NEW CAR. PEOPLE BUY NEW CARS TO AVOID THESE PROBLEMS!

NHTSA ODI 11044244

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 750 MILES. THAT IS ALL THE ENGINE OIL IN THE ENGINE SINCE IT ONLY HOLDS 4 QUARTS EVERY 3,000 MILES. MY OIL CHANGE WON'T BE DUE ANY TIME CLOSE TO THEN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINS AND THREADS OF CITIZENS WITH THIS SAFETY CONCERN. I AM WORRIED OF WHEN THE CAR WILL STOP ON ME AGAIN.

"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 THE RECALL ON THE BRAKES. THE THIRD TIME IT STOPPED ON ME WHILE DRIVING WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OCT. 2017 HAD TO GET A JUMP AND HE KEPT STALLING OUT BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED THIS TIME I CONTACTED DODGE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOLL ME TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR DOCUMENTATION. I HAVE OPEN A CASE WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING NO WHERE, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EVEN BOTHER TO CONTACT ME. I'M GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS WHEN THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 48,000 MILES STILL COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ALL THE TIMES I VEHICLE HAS STOPPED ON ME ON DARK ROADS, IN TRAFFIC, ON THE INSTATE MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS CAR IS A DANGER TO ME, MY, FAMILY, AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD IF I DRIVE THIS CAR. FOR NOW IT CONTINUES TO BE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHILE I DRIVE THE LOANER CAR THEY GAVE ME. BUT I'M STILL HAVING TO MAKE CAR PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I'M NOT EVEN DRIVING.

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.

NHTSA ODI 11040555

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 THE EPA WOULD LIKE KNOWING BARRELS MORE OF OIL ARE BEING USED THAN ADVERTISED. ALSO, THE CAR HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH CARS COMING UP BEHIND ME. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN TO/FROM WORK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND NEVER WITH MY KIDS AND FAMILY IN THE CAR. BUT YOU'D HAVE TO THINK THAT'S A HUGE LAWSUIT/TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN, AND YET CHRYSLER COMPLETELY SAYS THAT'S WITHIN REASONABLE SPEC. WHERE THE HELL WAS THIS "SPEC" WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR? THE NEW STICKER DIDN'T SAY "GREAT GAS MILEAGE, AWESOME NAV UNIT, BURNS 1QT OF OIL PER WEEK" ON THE WINDOW. 20 YEAR OLD CARS HAVE OIL LEVEL SENSORS, AND WARNINGS ABOUT THAT. WHY DOES THIS NEW AGE CAR, NOT HAVE AN OIL SENSOR ON IT TO AT LEAST WARN US OF IMPENDING DOOM WHEN THE CAR STALLS MAKING A SIMPLE TURN? THERE WAS A DEALERSHIP FRANCHISE CHAIN DOWN IN PHOENIX COMPLETELY REPLACING PEOPLE'S ENGINES FOR FREE WITH THE 2.4L TIGERSHARK (I THINK SOME JEEPS AND FIAT'S HAVE THEM AS WELL). I ALSO HEARD RUMORS THAT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINES OF 30% OF 2.4L'S HAD THE PISTON RINGS IN BACKWARDS?

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

NHTSA ODI 11019414

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!

NHTSA ODI 11018772

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.

NHTSA ODI 11003740

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.

NHTSA ODI 10993458

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.

NHTSA ODI 10984890

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.

NHTSA ODI 10983181

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 USED THAT MONEY FOR SOMETHING ELSE AS I AM IN A TIGHT BUDGET AS IT IS. AS OF TODAY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AGAIN, (I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AS WELL) AS OF TODAY, MY PCV AND MAP SENSOR REPLACED, AGAIN. I WAS TOLD FROM AN INDIVIDUAL FROM CORPORATE THAT HE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP HE WANTED THEM TO KEEP THE VEHICLE TO TRY TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. APPARENTLY THAT WAS NOT DONE WHICH I WILL CERTAINLY BE ADDRESSING WITH HIM AND REQUEST BE DONE.SINCE THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN, WHICH WAS WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF HAVING IT, THERE ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH IT BEING "LOW ON OIL",EVERY SINGLE TIME. I THINK THAT SHOULD HAVE RAISED A RED FLAG THE 3RD OR 4TH TIME I BROUGHT IT IN. THEY ARE PLAYING A GUESSING GAME, NOT BEING LOYAL AND FAIR.THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET, COMPLETELY. I THINK THEY ARE JUST DOING ANYTHING TO BUY TIME BECAUSE MY LEASE IS ALMOST UP,NOT FAIR. I ALREADY HAVE LEGAL COUNSEL STANDING BY. WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED, THEN THEY WILL WORRY ABOUT OUR SAFETY.HOW MANY COMPLAINTS WILL IT TAKE.

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 TURN BACK ON BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN. I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND I HAVE LOOKED UP MY VIN ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE BUT IT IS NOT UNDER ANY RECALLS. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT $265 + AAA TOWING FEES ON THIS ISSUE. THE THREE DATES THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED TO ME ARE: 3/17/17, 3/24/17, AND NOW 3/27/17. I AM KEEPING ALL MY RECEIPTS AND I WILL CONTACT AAA TO SHOW THE PROOF OF THEIR TOWING/SERVICE.

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.

NHTSA ODI 10959080

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) HAVE POSTED TO THE US GOVERNMENT'S OFFICIAL SITE FOR ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE THAT THEY MAY DO SOMETHING (ANYTHING!). HOW MANY NEAR MISSES HAVE TO BE REPORTED? HOW MANY ACTUAL FAILURES OF THIS SORT HAS CAUSED A MORTAL END? DEAD MEN AND WOMEN TELL NO STORIES AND REMEMBER THAT THE CAR'S FLASH MEMORY DOES NOT RECORD A CODE. SO CONCEIVABLY, THIS ISSUE MAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN THE CAUSE OF MANY PREVENTABLE DEATHS. THE INTERNET HAS VIDEO AVAILABLE OF THIS FAILURE IF THE NHTSA ARE INTERESTED. IT'S DANGEROUS AND CALLOUS THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT BEING INVESTIGATED.
