The car intentionally starts. The radio sometimes works and sometimes has no power. It loses the air conditioner and power windows. It burns off excessive amounts of coolant. It smells like it is running hot but isn't. When turning key the gages bounce and it clicks and clicks. Sometimes it starts and other times it will not. Multiple people have stated the same issues. Spending good amount of money on batteries, starters and alternator. The issue continues. The car is at 94k miles.

Sometimes I can smell like a gas or oil smell in the cabin of the car only happens when I take sharp turn or a bump in the road and sometimes by itself can't be good having this smell in the cabin and people breathing it.

It’s been having trouble starting. It started with the air conditioning going out, then it would stall in the middle of driving there are some fuses that are burnt up. And some wires in vehicle that are burnt up. When we have trouble starting jumping the vehicle would start it but still would try to stall. Finally the vehicle started stalling on us the power steering is out and we had to pull over we thought jumping it would just kick it back on til we got home. But when we tried it wouldn’t start and where the electrical fuel is it started smoking like it was going to catch fire. And I am having to find a way to get it into shop. But for now it’s left where we got stalled out.

When the oil life in this vehicle gets low the vehicle randomly stalls. This week my vehicle stalled in the middle of an intersection putting me at risk of bodily harm. I had to have my car towed to the dealership because it would not start. After speaking with the service person at the dealership they said that this is a "safety feature" to protect the engine. This is not the first time this has happened, but it is the first time my vehicle wouldn't start at all.

RPMS SHOOT TO ZERO AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF LEAVING YOU ONLY ABLE TO STEER...I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP AT LEAST TWICE FOR THE ISSUE SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND EACH TIME WHATEVER IT IS SEEMS TO BE FIXED UNTIL A FEW WEEKS/MONTHS LATER WHEN IT ENDS UP HAPPENING AGAIN. THE LATEST TIME WAS 04/08/19 ON MY WAY TO WORK IN THE MORNING WHEN I WAS MERGING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY; AT ABOUT 40MPH THE CAR STALLED AND THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK.

IN MOTION - ON I-75 EXPRESSWAY, ENTRANCE RAMP MERGE. COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING OR FATAL TO STALL WHILE MERGING ONTO EXTREMELY BUSY EXPRESSWAY. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL STALL AT DIFFERENT TIMES, NO WARNING, NO WARNING LIGHTS, ETC.. VERY DANGEROUS. GRANDDAUGHTER WAS ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY AND JUST AS SHE WAS MERGING THE CAR STALLED. SHE WAS STILL ROLLING AND SWERVED OFF THE EXPRESSWAY ONTO THE EMERGENCY STRIP AND THEN GRASSY AREA. SHE BARELY AVOIDED A SEMI SIDESWIPE/COLLISION. BEFORE TAKING CAR TO DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD OVER THE PHONE IT COULD BE CAUSED BY A DROP IN OIL PRESSURE. THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THEY WANTED TO JUST DO AN OIL CHANGE TO SEE IF THAT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM, BUT I INSISTED THE CHECK FUEL PROPULSION, BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE FUEL PUMP/INJECTORS OR FUEL LINE WAS CAUSING PROBLEM. COME TO FIND OUT IT HAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. WE JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR IN APRIL 2018 AND IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON IT. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME TYPE OF ISSUE, SHOULD THE THROTTLE BODY BE CHECKED FOR PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE RECALL??? I SPENT 3 HOURS ON THE SIDE OF THIS EXPRESSWAY WAITING FOR A TOW BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I BOUGHT A DODGE DART 2015 UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE DAY OF JULY 19, 2016. AFTER THE 3 DAYS THE CAR STOP WORKING WHEN I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AT STOPLIGHT. I CALLED A TOW TO TAKE IT TO MY AUTOMARKET TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS THE GAS BOMB PROBLEM WHICH ITS COVERED AS THE AUTOMARKET SAID. ONE WEEK LATER DODGE CRAYSLER RAM CALLED ME TO SAY THAT WHEN THEY OPENED THE GAS BOMB THE MECHANIC FOUND WATER INSIDE SO SOME PARTS WERE CONTAMINATED AND THE FACTORY WARRANTY DOESNT COVERED. THEY SAID THAT THOSE THINGS HAPPENED AND IS NOBODY FAULT BUT I HAVE TO PAY THEM FOR THE SERVICE A TOTAL OF 1140 DLLS WHICH I DON'T HAVE . MY DEALER WHO'S MAZDA EL CAJON DOESN'T WANT TO USE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EITHER AND ALSO WANT ME TO PAY. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP WITH THE PURCHASE OF MY FIRST CAR THANK YOU
