I OWN A 2016 GT DART WITH JUST OVER 37,000 MILES ON IT. FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING NEIGHBORHOOD SPEEDS SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY...FROM RESEARCH AND THE SYMPTOMS I'VE BEEN GETTING I BELIEVE IT COULD BE LINKED TO THE OIL AND OIL CHANGE LIGHT. HOWEVER, I'VE CHECKED THE OIL LEVELS AND IF ANYTHING THERE MIGHT BE TOO MUCH OIL IN THE CAR. THE OIL LIFE METER IS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND THE OIL CHANGE LIGHT WILL NOT COME ON BUT SHOULD BE AT THIS POINT. I WILL HEAR LIKE HALF A DING AND IT TRIES TO COME ON THE SCREEN FOR A SPLIT SECOND BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF: 'START THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY AND THE ENGINE TURNS OVER FINE 'DRIVE OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD ON TO THE MAIN ROAD AND GET UP TO A SPEED OF ~40MPH 'WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE, BATTERY INDICATOR DINGS AND LIGHT TURNS ON, AND ALL ELECTRONICS (RADIO, A/C...) REMAIN ON. 'I PULL OVER (GET FLIPPED OFF AND HONKED AT - I LOVE ATL...), PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND TURN EVERYTHING OFF 'ATTEMPT TO TURN THE ENGINE BACK OVER, MAY TAKE 5-10 SECONDS OR 1 OR 2 TIMES (I HAVE A PUSH START) 'ENGINE TURNS OVER AND I NEVER HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM FOR THE REST OF THE DAY

REGARDING THE REAR BACK UP CAMERA, THE CAMERA IS A VITAL TOOL FOR US, THE VEHICLE WAS LITERALLY ONE MONTH OUT OF MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AND IT WENT OUT. THEN WE WENT TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A SERVICE AND ASKED THE SERVICE WRITER IF THEY COULD REPAIR THE CAMERA UNDER WARRANTY AND WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING IN THE COMPUTER HE QUICKLY RESPONDED THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET, IS THE CAMERA NOT A SAFETY DEVICE? I REALLY WISH DEALERSHIPS WOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.

2.4-LITER TIGERSHARK ENGINE CHRYSLER DODGE AUTOMOTIVES ROUTINELY OVERCONSUME OIL, CAUSING COSTLY MAINTENANCE. THE OIL OVERCONSUMPTION ALSO LEADS TO LOW OIL PRESSURE, TRIGGERING A DEFECT IN THE AFFECTED DODGE DART VEHICLE TO SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF WHILE IN OPERATION. THIS CAN OCCUR IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS OR EVEN ON THE FREEWAY. VEHICLE HAS NO INDICATOR TO SHOW ACTUAL REMAINING OIL LIFE TO WARN DRIVERS OF POTENTIALLY SUDDEN SHUT DOWN. THIS HAS CREATED AN UNSAFE DRIVING HAZARDS. THIS IS THE SECOND CHRYSLER PRODUCT I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERS ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR AND KEEP EXTENDING THE PROBLEM PAST WARRANTY AS THEY REQUEST OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS ALL THE TIME AND WILL NOT DIRECTLY REPAIR THE ISSUE. WE HAVE VISITED 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS, HAZE CHRYSLER IN GAINESVILLE, GA, TRONCOLI CHRYSLER IN CUMMING GA, AND NOW DON JACKSON CHRYSLER IN CUMMING, GA. THE DODGE DATE HAS STOPPED RUNNING WHILE IN MOTION AND ALSO WHEN STOPPED. THIS IS IN OPERATION BY MY SON, AND AS AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVE WHEN HE FIRST RECEIVED THE CAR, IT CREATES A GREATER THREAT TO NOT KNOW HOW TO OPERATE UNDER THE POWER LOSS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS. HE IS NOT A HIGH MILAGE DRIVER UNTIL COLLEGE SO IT HAS BECOME MORE OBVIOS IN THE LAST 2 YEARS.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING AT ALL AND SKID CONTROL DOESN'T WORK EITHER. BRAKES ARE HARD TO PUSH OFTEN AND VEHICLE IS MORE AND MORE RELUCTANT TO STOP. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS IN MOTION. STEARING IS HARDER WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS OR STOPS ALSO. THE ISSUE BEGAN AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ANTILOCK BRAKE ISSUE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. ALL LIGHTS WHERE CLEARED AT MY LAST SERVICE BUT CAME BACK ON IMMEDIATELY FROM LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I SERVICED IT AT. I HAVE KIDS I TRANSPORT IN THIS VEHICLE AND FAILING BRAKES UNDER 90000 MILES IS A BIG DEAL. APPROXIMATE MILEAGE IS 83000.

EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN, THE SCREEN, BLACKS OUT AND THE RADIO SHUTS OFF. IT THEN "REBOOTS" AND WORKS FOR A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THE SCREEN GOES WHITE AND "REBOOTS". ALSO WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE GAUGE CLUSTER DIMS TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS BARELY VISIBLE. SOME COMMUTES, IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE OR TWICE, OTHERS, ITS SEEMS LIKE ITS EVERY 5 MINUTES OR SO. IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES, ACCELERATING, TURNING, AT A STOP, ETC.

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND IT JUST NOW STARTED JERKING WHILE DRIVING IT. IT DOES THIS IN ANY GEAR OR IN PARK WHILE THE CAR IS ON. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF OR MAYBE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY USED THEIR CODE READER AND CAN NOT FIND OUT WHATS WRONG WITH THE CAR.. I HAVE GOT A OIL CHANGE AND USED A GAS TREATMENT ON IT SO FAR ITS STILL JERKING WHILE I DRIVE. I AM WORRIED THIS COULD LEAD TO MORE ISSUES OR EVEN CUT OFF ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING. I USE THIS CAR EVERYDAY FOR WORK AND MY FAMILY AS WE ONLY HAVE 1 CAR. THIS HAPPENS AT STOP SIGNS/LIGHTS AND WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE. THIS STARTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO.

WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE STALLED AND CUT OFF W/O WARNING IN TRAFFIC DUE TO LOW OIL PRESSURE. 2.4L ENGINE CONSUMING OIL DUE TO SCARRING OF THE CYLINDER WALLS FROM THE PISTONS. I WAS TOLD THIS BY THE MECHANIC AT THE SERVICE CENTER. IT WAS NOT THAT LONG BETWEEN OIL CHANGES WHEN THIS OCCURRED.
