What 510 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Dodge Dart

WHILE DRIVING AT A FAIRLY HIGH SPEED WITHIN THE SPEED LIMIT MY CLUTCH JUST DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND THE MANUAL STICK SHIFT SHIFTED INTO GEARS ON IT'S OWN JUMPING AND NOT NEEDING THE CLUTCH TO SHIFT. LED TO TOTAL IMMOBILIZATION WITH CARS BEHIND ME, I LUCKILY MADE IT OVER TO A DIRT AREA BETWEEN THE ROAD AND A DITCH SAFELY.

VEHICLE STARTED STALLING LAST WINTER AFTER REMOTE START THOUGHT IT WAS REMOTE START ACTING UP BUT NOW IT STARTED STALLING RANDOMLY AT IDLE AND TURNING NOW IT HAS STALLED DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT RESTART RIGHT AWAY, IT IS SCHEDULED TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE IN 4 DAYS SO I STARTED SEARCHING WHY IT WOULD BE STALLING AND READ ABOUT EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I JUST CHECKED MY OIL AND IT IS BARELY READING ON DIPSTICK. THIS IS BS THERE IS NO WAY IT SHOULD BE CONSUMING THIS MUCH OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND IT ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT.

MY CAR HAS 34,000 MILES AND I CAN'T FILL UP AT A GAS PUMP. IT WILL FUEL FOR 2 SECONDS AND CLICK OFF. I CALLED DODGE BUT IT'S NOT LINGER UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY DUE TO TIME. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW AND IV NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN ONLINE NEITHER DO THE DEALERS AND I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND THOUSANDS GETTING THIS PROBLEM LOOKED AT WHEN IT BARLEY HAS ANY MILES ON IT.

MY 2015 DODGE DART ENGINE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHEN I DRIVE IT , I'VE BRUNG IT TO MULTIPLE REPAIR SHOPS AND THEY HAVE ALL SAID THAT MY CAR IS FINE NO CODES SHOWS UP ON DIAGNOSTIC. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF NO AUTO SHOP KNOWS WHAT'S TO DO AND IS KEEP SAYING MY ENGINE IS FINE WHEN OBVIOUSLY IT ISN'T IF IT KEEPS ON RANDOMLY SHUTTING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.

CONSUMPTION OF OIL. WHEN OIL IS CHANGED, I HAVE TO REPLENISH OIL AT AROUND 63-67% USEAGE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS UNTIL NEXT OIL CHANGE. THERE WAS PREVIOUS LEAK REPAIRED..NO LEAKS BUT STILL BURNING OIL. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPED THEN START EXCELERATING, EXPERIENCE HESITATION AND A RATTLING OR PINGING SOUND. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I SLOW DOWN TURNING AT CORNER THEN EXCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED OVER 1 1/2 YEARS AGO.

BACKSEAT OF THOSE NOT WORK. I HAVE A LOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE TRUNK OPENS EVERY TIME IT'S COLD OR RAINING BY ITSELF. WHEN I START THE CAR THE CAR JUST FLICKERS SOMETIMES IN THE ODOMETERS BOUNCE UP AND DOWN. MY CAR IS TELLING ME THAT MY PARK LIGHT IS OUT AND IT'S NOT. THESE ARE ISSUES I BROUGHT DIRECTLY TO THE DODGE LOT DEALER WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR

I STARTED MY VEHICLE THIS MORNING AND IT STARTED ROUGH AND WAS SURGING. AT TAKEOFF THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING STRANGLY. SLOWED TO MAKE A UTURN, TURNED TO THE LEFT SLIGHTLY AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, CAR SHUT DOWN AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. I ALMOST RAN A MAN OVER TRYING TO STOP AS I COULD NOT STEER. THE BATTERY SYMBOL POPPED UP ON THE DASH. I POPPED CAR IN PARK. REMOVED KEY. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND IT TOOK A GOOD 5-10 SECONDS BEFORE TURNING OVER. THERE WAS HESITATION UPON START. AFTER BEGINNING TO DRIVE IT SEEMED TO BE DRIVING NORMALLY..THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIT OF A TICKING TIME BOMB AND A VERY LARGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE ACROSS ALL MODELS

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY DODGE DART WITHOUT ANY INDICATION COMPLETELY DIES AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN IT DOES SO. WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO BRING OUR KIDS TO SCHOOL ON YADKIN ROAD IN FAYETTEVILLE NORTH CAROLINA AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE BECAUSE WE COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY ON THIS SMALL STREET THE CAR IS A 2015 DODGE DART AND ONLY HAS 16,000 MILES ON IT AND IT WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALL FLUIDS

THE PARKING BRAKE KEEPS FAILING UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT AROUND 32,000 MILES FOR A STICKING REAR BRAKE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER WAS DEFECTIVE. AFTER JUMPING THROUGH A FEW HOOPS, IT WAS REPAIRED. NOW AT 39,000 MILES IT'S DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN, IN ADDITION THE LEFT REAR CALIPER STARTED STICKING. ON MY 3 MILE DRIVE HOME FROM WORK RIGHT AFTER THE SYMPTOMS OF EXTENDED PARKING BRAKE HANDLE TRAVEL FOR PROPER ENGAGEMENT STARTED. I PULL IN MY DRIVEWAY AND MY REAR ROTORS ARE GLOWING. THERE WAS NO SMEL OF HOT BRAKE COMPONENTS AT ALL. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE PARKING BRAKE WORKS ON A STANDARD TRANSMISSION CAR, TO PREVENT ROLL SWAYS. LEAVING IT IN GEAR IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ENOUGH.

WHEN STARTING THE CAR THE RPMS RACE ON THEIR OWN. IT ACCELERATES ON IT OWN. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. TAKING MULTIPLE TIMES TO START THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT. THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING RANDOMLY.

CAR STOPS WITHOUT WARNING, WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND DIES, NO WARNING INDICATORS BEFOREHAND, ONLY POPPING THE BATTERY LIGHT AFTER IT STOPS ACCELERATING. WAS TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY AT THE TIME. RADIO, INTERIOR LIGHTS, AND EMERGENCY FLASHERS STILL WORKED, ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED HOME FOR REPAIRS. PROBLEM WAS NOT BATTERY RELATED.

DRIVING CAR NORMALLY. I PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND WENT INTO A STORE. WHEN I CAME OUT TO START THE CAR IT WOULD NOT START. CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AUTO ZONE WAS IN THE PLAZA SO I HAD THE GUY COME OUT AND DO A DIAGNOSTIC. CODES WERE P0123, P2122, P2127, P0222, U0401. WHEN THE GUY WENT BACK INTO THE STORE THE CAR STARTED. WHEN I PARKED AGAIN 10 MINUTES LATER THE CHECK ENGINE AND CHARGE LIGHT DISAPPEARED. CAR RAN FINE FOR ONE DAY. ABOUT 33 HOURS AFTER THAT INCIDENT I PARKED THE CAR AT A PARK FOR LUNCH FROM WORK. TOOK A WALK AND WHEN I RETURNED CAR NEVER CAME ON. DASH WAS FLICKERING, ALL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, MILEAGE WAS FLASHING, GAUGES WERE FLICKERING, CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. ACTED AS IF BATTERY WAS DEAD. HAD TO WALK BACK TO WORK AND HAVE CAR TOWED BY AAA AFTER WORK. CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 4 DAYS AND WILL NOT TURN ON. NEW MESSAGES CAME UP: CHECK ELECTRIC BRAKING SYSTEM, CHECK AIR BAGS, SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM AND CHECK ANTI LOCK BRAKES SYSTEM. THE TIRE LIGHT IS ON ME BECAUSE A SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER TIRE BROKE WHEN I GOT A FLAT HITTING A CURB WHILE PARKING. I REPLACED THE TIRE BUT NOT THE SENSOR. ALSO NOW THE UCONNECT AND RADIO NOT COMING ON AND BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON, AND WHEN I MADE ATTEMPT TO START A MESSAGE CAME UP STATING ENGINE WARMING UP??? THAT WAS WEIRD. THIS ALL HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHIN A TWO DAY SPAN. NOW I AM STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR I CANT DRIVE THAT IS GOING CRAZY ELECTRONICALLY.

I HAVE HAD ISSUES SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE 26,000 MILES AND AM ON MY THIRD SET OF TIRES. THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THEY DO NOT FEEL ANYTHING IS WRONG YET THE TIRES KEEP WEARING OUT AND ONE RECENTLY HAD A BULGE, I COMPLAINED OF A WHIRLING SOUND AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TIRES, I REPLACED THE TIRES AND IT IS STILL THERE. I KEEP TAKING THE CAR IN AND IT IS ONE EXCUSE AFTER ANOTHER. I REPORT THE ISSUES TO DODGE AND THEY TELL ME TO GO TO THE DEALER. A MECHANIC AT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE CAR RUNS LIKE A TRACTOR TRAILER, IT IS IDLING AT 2,000 RPM IN PARK WHEN IT SHOULD BE 900 OR LESS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS AN ISSUE IN THE REAR END AND ENGINE MOUNT ISSUES. I'M AFRAID THE CAR WILL FALL APART WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME GET DODGE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUES ARE. THEY HAD THE AUDACITY TO TELL ME MY DRIVING HABITS ARE THE REASON I NEED TIRES EVERY 10,000 MILES. I HAVE A CAMARO THAT I DRIVE LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL AND GOT MY FIRST SET OF TIRES AT 50,000 MILES. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND NO ONE AT DODGE WILL HELP. WILL IT TAKE ME GETTING KILLED FOR SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING??

NHTSA ODI 11131010

DRIVING ON THE OPEN ROAD THE CAR LOOSES POWER, CAN'T STEER CAN'T ACCELERATE. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING AT 70 MPH EVEN AT 35 THRU THE CITY. I HAVE NOTICED ONLINE OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND DODGE JUST SAYS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AS SOME ONE WILL DIE DRIVING THESE CARS IN THIS CONDITION!! READ WERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. HAPPENS MORE WHEN TURNING IN MY CASE.

NHTSA ODI 11130996

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN INTERMITTENT SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR, I ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE BOTH BALLASTS AND BULBS REPLACED, STILL EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE INTERMITTENTLY. IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS A RECALL OR COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY PAST 40,000 THIS CAR HAS 50,000 AND I'M ALREADY GOING TO HAVE A COMPUTER MODULE REPLACED AS IT CONTROLS THE HEADLIGHTS THIS WILL NOT BE A CHEAP REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS MANY DART OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THE FOG LIGHTS ARE THE ONLY FORWARD FACING LIGHTS I HAVE THAT WORK AT TIMES, STATIONARY OR MOVING, OTHER TIMES IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER,
