2016 DODGE DART Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO ADJUST THE HEAT TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. SHE WAS CONCERNED THAT SHE WOULD BE UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD IN THE RAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 71380634. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,000.

THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK FROM THE OUTSIDE. YOU CAN WALK RIGHT UP EVEN IF THE CAR IS LOCKED AND OPEN THE DOOR. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE I HAVE KIDS. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE I'VE GOT MY CAR NEW

VEHICLE IN MOTION. CLUTCH STUCK TO FLOOR ON HIGHWAY. ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION. TOOK TO A REPAIR FACILITY WHERE THEY SAID IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH DARTS. I AM NOW HAVING THE WHOLE CLUTCH SYSTEM REPLACED AND THEY JUST CALLED ME TO TELL ME THE FLYWHEEL ETC IS VERY BAD.

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD A MANUFACTURE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING SINCE APRIL OF 2019 BUT THERE WAS NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. IN AUGUST OF 2019 I PULLED IN A GAS STATION AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK. WHEN I RETURNED AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE THE SHIFTER WAS VERY LOOSE FEELING AND IT WOULDNT COME OUT OF PARK. MY LOCAL DODGE DID PAY FOR TOWING FEES AND PUT ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART ON MY CAR AFTER A VERY RUDE EMPLOYEE MADE SURE I WAS AWARE THIS WOULD BE A ONE TIME COMPLIMENTARY SERVICE SINCE THEY DIDNT HAVE THE CORRECT PART TO FIX IT. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019 I RECEIVED A NOTICE STATING THERE WAS NOW PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE PART AND THAT I SHOULD CALL TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DODGE DEALER. WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A VERY LONG WAIT LIST FOR THIS REPAIR PART AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS LIMITING THE NUMBER OF PARTS THE DEALER IS ALLOWED TO ORDER PER MONTH TO 14. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER AND IM BEING TOLD THEY STILL HAVE A LENGTHY LIST OF CUSTOMERS AND THEY ARE STILL LIMITED ON HOW MANY REPLACEMENT PARTS THEY CAN ORDER PER MONTH. I DONT THINK THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE WAY TO HANDLE A SAFETY RECALL SITUATION. THERE ARE OVER 200,000 VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECTIVE PART. I UNDERSTAND THATS INCLUDING THE ENTIRE US BUT IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO DISTRIBUTE PARTS ACCORDING TO HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON WAITING LISTS IN EACH AREA NOT 14 PARTS A MONTH. I AM TRAVELING TO FLORIDA WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AND PLANNED ON DRIVING MY CAR BUT WITHOUT THIS ISSUE FIXED IM AFRAID OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHILE IM 800 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECIEVE A PHONE CALL WHEN MY NAME REACHES THE TOP OF THE LIST BUT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS BEFORE THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IM SUPPOSED TO DO ESPECIALLY IF IM ON THE ROAD WITH 3 CHILDREN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MISFIRED AND STALLED. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY.

I HAVE 2016 DODGE DART AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER WENT OUT IN IT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A PREVIOUS ISSUE WITH RECALL BRAKE PEDAL WENT HARD AND COULD NOT STOP QUICKLY WHILE DRIVING AND WAS TOLD BY DODGE IT DID NOT FALL UNDER RECALL FOR BEING DIFFERENT YEAR AND WOULD COST A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX THEN THE ABS MODULAR VALVE WENT OUT AND LOCKED THE BRAKE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IS USED TO TRAVEL IN THE CITY DURING MORNING AND EVENING COMMUTES

THE AIR BAGS ON THIS CAR FAILED TO DEPLOY FROM A BAD CAR ACCIDENT. MY CAR WAS HIT NEAR THE RIGHT FRONT FROM A PERSON THAT RAN A RED LIGHT. THE FRONT END DAMAGE WAS HORRIBLE TO SAY THE LEAST AS TO WHERE THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER SAID TO ME THAT THE CAR HAS TO BE TOTALED. EXTENSIVE FRAME DAMAGE FROM THIS ACCIDENT AND DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAD NEVER DEPLOYED FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. THE CONSUMER OWNS ANOTHER VEHICLE SAME MAKE/MODEL AND QUESTIONS IF THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE PREVIOUS VEHICLE FAILING. *JS *JS

I HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO CHECK MY OIL CONSISTENTLY. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE WITH 68,089. CHECKED OIL AND IT WAS FULL. AT 69,089 I CHECKED OIL AND WAS 2 QUARTS LOW!! SO I FILLED IT AND CALLED DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY COULD DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BUT THAT IT'S NORMAL FOR VEHICLES TO BURN OIL( ABOUT 1 QUART PER 1000 MILES. MY VEHICLE BURNED DOUBLE THAT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO FIND THAT MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ! DODGE SHOULD HAVE A REMEDY FOR A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. SINCE FILLING I HAVE BURNED 1 QUART IN 700 MILES.
