OUR 2015 DODGE DART HAS ONLY 18,700 MILES ON IT AND TWICE IN THE LAST 10 MONTHS WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IN ORDER TO SHIFT GEARS AND THE PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2017, THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED AT NO COST TO US. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN ON APRIL 28, 2018, SAME SCENARIO - DRIVING ON FREEWAY, TRIED TO SHIFT - AND WE ARE TOLD THE CLUTCH KIT AND THROW OUT BEARING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND DODGE IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR IT, SAYING IT IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AND BECAUSE IT IS DIFFERENT PARTS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OF WORK IN AUGUST 2017. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES AND EVEN A COUPLE OF LAWSUITS. EVEN IF REPAIRED AGAIN, I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR OUTSIDE OF CITY STREETS. DODGE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE NOR DO THEY SAY THAT MY CAR IS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH THAT THEY ISSUED IN 2016.

JUST NOTICED THAT THE YOKOHAMA 225/40 R18 AVID S34 TIRES ON MY 2015 DODGE DART HAVE SPLIT SIDE WALLS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000 MILES. I HAD THE CAR IN THREE TIMES FOR THE TIRES LOOSING AIR. I'VE READ THAT YOKOHAMA HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS ON THIS MODEL TIRE FOR YEARS WITH MANY DIFFERENT SIZES BUT HAVE ONLY RECALLED ONE SIZE. I'M TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER 05-02.

THERE SEEMS TO BE ISSUE WITH DODGE, CHRYSLER VEHICLES WHERE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH MY DAD CHRYSLER 300, MY MOM DODGE DURANGO AND NOW MY DODGE DART AND IT APPEARS IT IS THE ALTERNATOR KILLING THE BATTERY. IT IS DANGEROUS TO PUT MY CAR ON THE ROAD AS IT CAN SHUT OFF ANY GIVEN TIME AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE.

I HAD JUST CAME HOME AND RAN INTO MY HOUSE TO GRAB SOMETHING AND IMMEDIATELY RETURNED BACK TO THE CAR AND WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE THE LIGHT ON THE GEAR SHIFT FOR NEUTRAL LIT UP. THE CAR IS NOW STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION DUE TO IT BEING IN NEUTRAL. WE HAVE CALLED SEVERAL NUMBERS FOR DODGE AND THEY ARE TELLING US THAT THE CAR IS NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE THE VIN IS NOT SHOWING UP WITH A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE SIGHT SHOWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT ISSUE FOR 2011 - 2015 DODGE DARTS. WE NEED ASSISTANCE WITH THIS BECAUSE IF THEY KNOW THESE CARS HAVE THIS ISSUE THERE IS NO WAY THEY SHOULD BE TELLING US THAT THIS CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. PLEASE HELP.

THE TRUNK POPS OPENS WITHOUT WARNING. THREE TIMES NOW MY TRUNK HAS OPENED WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS, I SUDDENLY HAVE NO REAR VISION. THIS MEANS I HAVE TO PULL OVER ON A FREEWAY WITH NO REAR VISION, PARK, AND GET OUT WITH CARS WHIZZING BY ME TO CLOSE THE TRUNK. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DATES SO JUST PICKED A DATE BELOW. THE GLASSES CASE (BETWEEN THE TWO FRONT SEATS OVER THE WINDSHIELD) HAS OPENED WITHOUT WARNING AND DROPPED A PAIR OF SUN GLASSES ONTO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT STARTLED AND DISTRACTED ME. I HAVE REPORTED THIS THE DEALER WHO CAN "FIND NOTHING" WRONG. HEGGS AUTO WHICH WAS SUPERSTITION SPRINGS AUTO, SOLD IT TO ME. 480-293-0219 THE CAR HAS A MYRIAD OF "OTHER ISSUES" THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY SAFETY RELATED BUT PARTS ARE FAILING WELL BEFORE THEY SHOULD.

MY DODGE DART HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. IT WILL START JERKING LIKE YOU'RE DRIVING A STANDARD AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IT. THE ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A COUPLE OTHER LIGHTS WILL ALL COME ON. WHEN IT DOES THIS THERE ARE TIMES THAT YOU CAN PRESS THE HAD PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT DOES NOTHING. THEN THE CAR STARTED SAYING TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION AND WHEN YOU SHIFTED INTO CERTAIN GEARS IT WOULD SAY THE GEAR WAS UNAVAILABLE AND YOU NEED TO SHIFT TO DRIVE OR REVERSE. AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING I FOUND THAT MY FUSE BOX, NEXT TO MY BATTERY, LOOKS LIKE SEVERAL OF THE FUSES HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE CAR HASN'T GONE UP IN FLAMES. AREN'T FUSES SUPPOSED TO BREAK WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HASTENS

ENGINE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING. APPEARS TO BE SENSOR DETECTING LOW OIL AND RATHER THAN TRIGGERING THE MIL OR A LOW OIL INDICATOR, IT SHUTS THE ENGINE DOWN. HAPPENED TO MY WIFE WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. ENGINE POWER LOSS, AND ALSO LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, RADIO CONTINUED PLAYING, AND LIGHTS KEPT WORKING SO IT WASN'T A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL POWER LOSS BUT A CONTROLLED ENGINE SHUTDOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, IT STARTED TO JERK VIOLENTLY AND THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE GEAR INTO DRIVE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. ALSO, THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS OUT OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000. *TT *JS

I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY TURN IT BACK ON AND SHIFT INTO 4TH GEAR BECAUSE MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN WHILE AND I HAD TO PULL OVER! IM SO SICK OF THIS MODEL AND AFTER READING ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES ITS JUST RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS! I GOT IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED OKAY AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES. SO CARS JUST TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON?! FAST FORWARD TO 2017, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I TAKE IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN KILLEEN TX AND I FIND OUT IT WAS THE THERMOSTAT AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND THAT I COULD DRIVE TO ALASKA AND BACK WITH NO ISSUES. SO I LEAVE AND A DAY LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT IS GONE LIKE IT WAS NEVER THERE. AND HERE IT IS 2018 AND THE [XXX] ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AGAIN. I TAKE IT TO FIRESTONE ON BASE AND GUESS WHAT THE [XXX] THEY TELL ME?! YOU GUESSED RIGHT! THE [XXX] THERMOSTAT. AT THIS POINT I'M JUST PISSED AND FRUSTRATED AND THEY TELL ME I'M LOOKING AT A $500 FIX AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE DODGE DART! WHY WAS I NOT TOLD THIS WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED! OH AND IT GETS BETTER. ON 25MARCH2018 I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60MPH AND YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED....DING DING DING RIGHT AGAIN! MY [XXX] PIECE OF [XXX] DODGE DART TURNS THE [XXX] OFF! I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A [XXX] RECALL OR NOT BUT I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY DODGE DART OWNER WHO IS HAVING THIS ISSUE AND I SHOULD'VE BEEN TOLD ABOUT THESE DANGEROUS ASS PROBLEMS BEFORE I POURED MY HARD EARNED MONEY INTO A [XXX] DEATHTRAP.

I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT OF AN PARKING SPACE THAT WAS ANGLED UP AND WHILE DOING THAT I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR 30 MINUTES. ALL I COULD HEAR WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKES WAS AIR. IT WOULD NOT WORK UNLESS PUTTING EXTREME PRESSURE ON IT.

I GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT IN THE CITY OF SIMI VALLEY, CA. BETWEEN FIRST ST. AND ARCANE ST. GOING HOME ON SUNDAY 2/25/2018 AND THE AIR BAG NEVER CAME OUT AND I ENDED IT P WITH A SWOLLEN LIPS AND NECK/BACK PAIN DUE TO THE IMPACT RECEIVED AT THE TIME OF ME HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL AS I DID NOT HAD ANY PROTECTION. AT THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THE STOP LIGHT WAS RED AND THERE WAS AN SUV IN FROM OF ME AND MYSELF WAITING FOR THE STOP LIGHT TO TURN GREEN WHEN THE ONLY THING I FELT WAS THE IMPACT FULL SPEED FROM BEHIND THAT ME BEEN THE MIDDLE CAR END IT UP HITTING THE CAR IN FROM OF ME. I CANT EVEN IMAGINE THAT MY KIDS WHERE IN THERE. AS YOU NOTICE THE ENTIRE TRUNK WAS PUSHED INTO THE BACK SEATS. I HAVE ATTACHED THE PICTURES OF MY PERSON, THE CAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL.

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, WHAT-SO-EVER. MY VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION SO WITHOUT A WORKING EMERGENCY BRAKE, I CANNOT PARK THE CAR ON ANY SORT INCLINE. I'VE SEEN ON NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUMS THAT MANY DODGE DART OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THEIR EMERGENCY BRAKES AS WELL, IN PARTICULAR, DODGE DART VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. BASED ON FEEDBACK I'VE READ ON OTHER FORUMS, IT SEEMS THAT THE MANUFACTURER DIDN'T PROPERLY INSTALL THE CABLE THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ATTACHED TOO. I HAD ONE INSTANCE WHERE MY VEHICLE ALMOST ROLLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE PARKING BRAKE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAD ANOTHER INSTANCE WHERE I HAD PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE IN A CROWDED SHOPPING CENTER WITH PEDESTRIANS PASSING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT WHERE THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACK. I BARELY HAVE OVER 45,000 MILES AND I'VE OWNED CARS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS SINCE I STARTED DRIVING OVER 20 YEARS AGO. THIS IS THE FIRST INSTANCE I'VE EVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK, AND I'VE DRIVEN CARS THAT WERE MUCH OLDER THAN THE ONE I OWN NOW. IT SEEMS THIS IS A MAJOR FLAW IN THE 2015 DODGE DART THAT CHRYSLER FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA CAN TAKE ACTION UPON CHRYSLER TO AVOID ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE INJURIES DUE TO THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER DIDN'T PROPERLY ATTACH THE CABLES IN THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKES FOR THE 2015 MANUAL DODGE DART MODELS.

WHEN DRIVING THE DART, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE IN DRIVE. THE DEALER IS SAYING THAT IT IS A SAFETY SWITCH FOR LOW OIL. HOWEVER THERE IS NO OIL LIGHT TURNING ON ON THE DASH BOARD AND THERE IS OIL LIFE REMAINING ON THE DIGITAL DISPLAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO RESOLVE. THE DEALER HAS EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO SAY "WELL, YOU BOUGHT A DODGE DART". WHEN WE PURCHASED THE DART, WE BOUGHT THE MAINTENANCE PACKAGE, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES. WE USE THIS PACKAGE ALL THE TIME AND THERE WOULD BE NO EXCUSE TO BE LOW ON OIL THAT FAST IN A NEWER VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED A HALF DOZEN TIMES, SPEEDS VARYING FROM DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT (5-10MPH) , TO DOWN A STREET(35-45MPH) THANKFULLY NEVER ON A HIGHWAY. WE ARE FEARFUL FOR THE DAY THIS HAPPENS WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH DAIMLER CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE NOT HELPED. ONE MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME THIS HAPPENS MORE OFTEN THAT YOU WOULD THINK. BUT STILL NO RESOLVE.

MY CAR STALLS FREQUENTLY AND THE STEREO SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING POWERS DOWN. IT DOES IT WHEN DRIVING AS WELL. IT ALSO SMELLS LIKE WIRES ARE BURNING WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED HARD AND MADE A LOUD NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST. THE CONTACT CALLED CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (24 1020 BELMONT ST, BROCKTON, MA 02301) WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE, AND THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION, BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WHEN BRAKING, BRAKES FEELS HARD AND REQUIRE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE FORCE TO ACTIVATE. A HISSING SOUND IS OCCURRING AND BRAKE FORCE WILL OFTEN NOT ENGAGE UNTIL HALFWAY INTO THE PETAL. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED BY MY MECHANIC, BUT ACCORDING TO HIM AND SOME RESEARCH I'VE DONE ONLINE, THIS SEEMS EXACTLY LIKE AN ISSUE WITH THE DODGE DART 2013 RECALL FOR THE SAME PART. AS TAKEN FROM DODGE'S SITE: THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE ENGINE OIL MIGRATION FROM THE VACUUM PUMP, THROUGH THE VACUUM SUPPLY TUBE, AND INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. PROLONGED BRAKE BOOSTER DIAPHRAGM EXPOSURE TO ENGINE OIL COULD CAUSE THE DIAPHRAGM TO FAIL. THIS COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST AND/OR AN AIR LEAKING SOUND. A LOSS OF BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST COULD REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO APPLY ADDITIONAL BRAKE PEDAL FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE LACK OF BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST COULD CHANGE THE BRAKING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. I'M PUTTING IN THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE HOPE TO AVOID OTHERS FROM ACCIDENTS AND ULTIMATELY TO HOPE TO GET A REFUND FROM THE SERVICE AND PARTS I HAD TO GET INTO MY CURRENT CAR. I RECOGNIZE THAT THE DOT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR A REFUND BUT WOULD BE INSTRUMENTAL IN HAVING DODGE ISSUE A RECALL IF ENOUGH OTHER 2015 DODGE DART OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS AS WELL. THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR TO SPECIFY WHEN THE OIL WAS LOW. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STALLED MORE THAN ONCE AND THE FAILURE WAS PROGRESSING INTERMITTENTLY. THE OWNER'S MANUAL HAD SPECIFIC GUIDELINES THAT WERE IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH WHAT THE CONTACT WAS EXPERIENCING. THE DEALER (MCKAY'S DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT, 2020 FRONTAGE RD S, WAITE PARK, MN 56387, (320) 252-7170) PROVIDED AN OIL CHANGE, INDICATED THAT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS NEEDED, AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO CHECK THE OIL LEVELS EVERY 500 MILES. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THIS WAS NOT A PERMANENT SOLUTION AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE LEVELS WERE LOW. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT *TR

DRIVING CAR AT 25 MPH AND IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT ANY CLEAR INDICATION WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. AFTER 10 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED AND WAS DRIVEN HOME. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED LOW OIL COULD BE THE PROBLEM. OIL WAS CHECKED AND NOTED THAT IT WAS VERY LOW; THERE HAD BEEN NO INDICATION THAT THE CAR HAD LOW OIL. WE CALLED THE DEALER TO SET UP AN OIL CHANGE APPOINTMENT AND DESCRIBE THE STALLING PROBLEM AND THEY SAID "YOU MUST HAVE A DART", LIKE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES...... WEREN'T LOW OIL INDICATORS INVENTED IN THE 70'S?

NHTSA ODI 11065865

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT AND HAD IT READ. SAID IT WAS LOW ON COOLANT, PUT COOLANT IN AFTER CAR WAS NOT HOT AND LIGHT CONTINUED TO STAY ON AND ALL READ UP THE SAME, LOW COOLANT, BUT IT WASN'T. APPARENTLY IT WAS THE THERMOSTAT. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THESE FAULTY THINGS? I HAVE SEEN MORE PEOPLE REPORTING PROBLEMS FOR THESE AND THERE IS STILL NO RECALL!!! I WILL NEVER OWN ANYTHING CHRYSLER MADE AGAIN, THEY NEVER STAND BEHIND THEIR MISTAKES, BUT EXPECT THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES TO PAY A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE FIXED.

I WAS DRIVING AND CAME TO A 4 WAY STOP SIGN, AFTER COMPLETELY STOPPING I PROCEEDED TO PULL OFF. AS I BEGAN TO TURN THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TREMENDOUSLY AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE RED BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR BACK UP UNTIL ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES LATER. EVERY DAY FOLLOWING THIS DAY, THE CAR BEGAN TO START UP AND STOP AFTER GOING ONLY A FEW FEET WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON.
