2015 DODGE DART Complaints

I WAS STOPPED ON A STREET THAT WAS A STEEP HILL CHECKING MY MAILBOX. WHEN I WENT TO GO UP THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT WORK AT ALL. CAR STARTED TO GO BACKWARDS. NO WARNING ON DASHBOARD EVER ABOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO WITH A LOT OF STRENGTH PUMP THEM UP. WENT UP DRIVEWAY AND AGAIN WOULD NOT STOP WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCAREY.

CLUTCH PEDAL GETS STUCK CLOSE TO THE FLOOR UPON START UP AND CLUTCH MAY NOT RE-ENGAGE WHEN UP SHIFTING. HAPPENED ON A BUSY CITY STREET AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL, AS THE SECOND OWNER I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND THE TIME OF THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ALTHOUGH I AM STILL UNDER THE MILEAGE BUT THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME. I WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WAS NOT JUST DRIVER ERROR WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED SUMMER OF 2019 IF I HAD BEEN PROPERLY NOTIFIED. INSTEAD IT WAS NOT UNTIL SEPT 27 2020 WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL STARTED STICKING THAT I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THE INFO OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN. 4 DEALERSHIPS HAD MY CAR MULTIPLE TIMES AND NONE OF THEM MENTIONED THIS EITHER.

IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING OR TAKEING A SLIGHT CURVE, CAR WILL SHUT OFF. MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL REBOOT UCONNECT SYSTEM & THE AC SYSTEM AS WELL DURING DRIVE. RED TEXT IS SHOWN ON THE DISPLAY OF THE INFO SCREEN IN SIDE DASH BUT CANT SEE IT DUE TOO CAR RESETTING.

NO OIL LIGHT ON, NO ENGINE LIGHT, AND IT STALLED. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH OIL CONSUMPTION WITH THE 2.4 ENGINE. MY CAR DIED AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND STARTING A TURN. Y CAR STALLED OUT TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS VERY DANGEROUS. BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, MUSIC CONTINUED, BUT ENGINGE JUST DIED. THE STEERING WHEEL FROZE (NO MORE POWER STEERING), AND I COULDN'T PRESS MY BRAKE DOWN, IT JUST SAT THERE IN THE ROAD. I CHECKED THE LEVEL OF MY OIL AND IT DOESN'T EVEN COVER THE CURVED PART OF THE DIPSTICK, THAT'S HOW LOW IT IS.THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN, A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. THE CAR IS NOT INDICATING WHEN IT NEEDS OIL, AND IS SHUTTING ITSELF OFF SO IT DOESN'T OVER HEAT WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS 70MPH+ AND IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS WHILE TURNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOTORWORLD - MILEONE AUTOGROUP (150 MOTORWORLD DR, WILKES-BARRE, PA 18702) TO HAVE THE HER VEHICLE REPAIRED FOR HER REVERSE LIGHT. WHILE BEING SERVICED FOR THE REVERSE LIGHT, THE DEALER ALSO SERVICED THE VEHICLE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN). A WEEK AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE SAME DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHUTOFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES LATER THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000. *DT*JB*JB

MY CAR IS RANDOMLY STOPPING WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC AND HE SAYS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PCM.

THE RADIO SCREEN GOES BLACK AND THE CLIMATE CONTROLS DO NOT FUNCTION AS IT IS CONTROLLED TOGETHER. THIS MEANS I CANNOT OPERATE THE FRONT OR REAR DEFROST WHICH CAN LEAD TO VISIBILITY ISSUES AND A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING.

MY BRAKE CALIPERS ARE LOOSE ON THE VEHICLE SO MUCH THAT YOU CAN SHAKE THEM WITH YOUR BARE HANDS AND AS YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD YOU HEAR A NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CLICKING SOUND I WOULD LIKE THIS TO B LOOKED AT AS A POSSIBLE RECALL IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IM WORRY THAT IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND MY SON OR I COULD GET HURT OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE. YOU CAN HEAR THIS NOISE AS YOU ARE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WHEN U HOT A SMALL BUMP ON MY PRIVATE ROAD I LIVE ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND FAILED TO STOP. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT FROM HARD TO SOFT SPONTANEOUSLY. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES. THE SERVICE ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FARMINGTON (970 E WOODLAWN DR, FARMINGTON, MO 63640, (573) 431-7800) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS LIKE THAT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V800000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,049.

CLUTCH PEDAL REMAINS DEPRESSED INTERMITTENTLY ON START UP AND WHILE DRIVING. THEIR IS NOT ENOUGH PRESSURE IN THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER FOR ADEQUATE RESISTANCE OR TO RAISE THE PEDAL TO ITS STANDARD POSITION. THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION LOSS SUIT RELATED TO THIS EXACT ISSUE ON 2013-2015 DODGE DARTS BUT MY DEALERSHIP APPEARS BLISSFULLY UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. START CASE# S1406000001 APPEARS TO DIRECTLY CALL OUT THIS ISSUE BUT NONE OF THE PROCEDURES WERE FOLLOWED WHEN INSPECTING MY CAR FOR CLUTCH RELATED ISSUES. THE TECHNICAL RESPONSE WAS "MAYBE YOUR MAT WAS CAUGHT BY THE CLUTCH PEDAL?" SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO FIRST AND THE PEDAL WAS NOT RAISING. AFTER 3-4 ATTEMPTS I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO RAISE HIGH ENOUGH TO DISENGAGE AND ALLOW ME TO SHIFT INTO SECOND, THANKFULLY I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO MY HOME I DIDNT NEED TO GO BEYOND 2ND GEAR BUT FOR THERE TO BE NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM THE DEALERSHIP IS APPALLING.
