NO CHECK ENGINE OR WARNING LIGHT DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN 6TH GEAR CAR BLEW UP LOUD NOISE AND CAUGHT ON FIRE! ONLY 85,000 MILES WITH REGULAR SERVICES. LOST ALL POWER AND CLUTCH PEDAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND COASTED TO SHOULDER WITH A LOT OF SMOKE COMING FROM ENGINE OPENED THE HOOD AND THERE WERE FLAMES WHERE TRANSMISSION FLUID GOES. I HAD NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING A COUPLE DAYS PRIOR BUT IT WAS CHRISTMAS TIME SO THOUGHT I COULD HAVE IT LOOKED AT AFTERWARD.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 Dodge Dart verdict →
