2016 DODGE DART Complaints

WAS DRIVING CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY WENT TO SPRAY WINDOW WITH WASHER FLUID AND THE FLUID CAME OUT BUT THE WIPER USUALLY MOVE 3 TIMES AND THEY DID NOT WORK SO I MANUALLY TURNED THEY WIPER ON AND THEY WOULD NOT MOVE

THE FRONT HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AND I TRIED TO REPLACE IT. APPARENTLY THERE IS A SENSOR THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING AND IT HAS TO BE ORDERED. IM SCARED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE VISIBILITY IS LIMITED. THE PART HAS BEEN ORDERED BUT I WAS TOLD ITS ON BACK ORDER AT THE DEALERSHIP. ID LIKE THIS FIXED ASAP BECAUSE I ALSO WOULD NOT LIKE TO GET A TICKET FOR DRIVING WITH A HEADLIGHT THAT IS OUT.

I HAVE A 2016 DODGE DART SXT THAT I BOUGHT OVER A YEAR AGO WHEN IT HAD 20, XXX MILES ON IT, IT NOW HAS 46,XXX MILES ON IT, IT DOES THE WEIRDEST THING, I WILL BE DRIVING IT AND IT JUST DIES AND DOESN'T WANT TO START BACK UP UNTIL A COUPLE MINUTES LATER, IT IS EMBARRASSING AND A TRAFFIC HAZZARD TO BE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OR AT A STOP LIGHT, IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS OFF AND ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, IT WASNT UNTIL RECENTLY THAT I REALIZED THAT THIS IS HAPPENING EVERY TIME THAT MY OIL CHANGE PERCENTAGE IS AT 25% OR BELOW, SO I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING AND IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS , THEY ARE CONSUMING OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES TO THE POINT THE ENGINE IS 1 TO 2 QUARTS LOW AND A SENSOR DETECTS THAT AND IS STALLING THE ENGINE TO PROTECT IT, DOES THIS CAR NOT HAVE AN OIL LIGHT TO DETECT WHEN THE OIL IS LOW? HOW IS THE WAY THEY HAVE THIS SET UP LEGAL? THEY NEED TO RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE ENGINE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES !

MY 2016 DODGE DART STALLED AT A STOPLIGHT WHILE IDLING. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL IN MY CAR. IF IT GETS TOO LOW THE CAR WILL STALL. I HAD JUST CHANGED MY OIL ABOUT 3 MONTHS BEFOREHAND WITH THE CORRECT WEIGHT AND AMOUNT OF OIL ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL. BUT WHEN I CHECKED, SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS ALMOST NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. APPARENTLY THESE CARS BURN OIL AND DODGE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET THAT I HAVE FOUND. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND YOU GET HIT BECAUSE YOUR CAR DIES. ALSO I WONDER HOW LONG THE CAR WILL LAST WHILE BURNING OIL THE WAY IT DOES. AS A SINGLE FATHER TAKING CARE OF 3 KIDS BY MYSELF I CANNOT JUST GO OUT AND GET A NEW CAR WHENEVER I WANT. THIS IS VERY IRRITATING.

I HAVE A 2016 DODGE DART WITH 63K ON IT. MY 16 YEAR OLD DRIVES IT AND THREE DAYS AGO SHE IS PULLING OUT SCHOOL AND THE CAR CUTS OFF. SHE HAS HAVE IT JUMPED WE TAKE IT TO GET BATTERY CHECKED AND ALTERNATOR. IT SHOWS BATTERY IS NO GOOD SO WE REPLACE BATTERY. THE NEXT MORNING AND SHE ON WAY TO WORK AND IT CUTS OFF AGAIN SO WE GET IT RUNNING AND DRIVE IT AROUND AND CUTS OFF TWICE MORE. I CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY TEST IT AND TELL ME IT IS 2 QUARTS LOW ON OIL AND IT WILL CUT OFF. WE HAVE HAD NO INDICATOR LIGHT THAT OIL WAS LOW THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED LESS THEN TWO MONTHS AGAIN. THEY GO TO SAY WE CAN REQUEST A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN 500 MILES AND PROCEED TO GIVE ME SERVICE BULLETIN ON OIL CONSUMPTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WHAT IF WE ARE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND IT JUST CUTS OFF! I ASK WHY IT'S BURNING OIL IF IT'S OIL LEAK AND THEY SAY THERE NO LEAK BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE OIL IS GOING AND IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM IN DARTS TO CHECK OIL EVERY 500 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KENDAL DODGE (13355 S.W. 137TH AVE, MIAMI, FL), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON A ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY. I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO START IT. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO TURN OVER BY ITSELF FOR A GOOD 10 SECONDS. WHEN IT RESTARTED, AFTER RELEASING THE BREAK MY CAR THRUST FORWARD. THEN STARTED TO SPUBER LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL AGAIN. AT THAT TIME 3 LIGHTS CAME ON ON THE DASH... THE CHECK ENGINE, STABILIZATION AND ANOTHER I'VE NEVER SEEN. WAS REAL CLOSE TO A DODGE DEARER WHERE I BEARLY MADE IT TO. WHEN I ASKED THE PERSON ABOUT THE TIGRIS LIGHT COMING ON HE TOLD ME 'THAT MEANS GET IT IN ASAP! SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG IS WITH THE VEHICLE.' THE CAR HAS JUST OVER 30K MILES AND I KNOW IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

THE CAR DIES (STALLS, DOESN'T RUN, ETC.) WHILE DRIVING.. OR WHEN STOPPED, OR WHENEVER IT WANTS. IT WILL RESTART AND THEN DRIVE FOR A WHILE AND THEN DIE AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T EVEN COME ON AFTER SEVERAL STALLS BUT EVENTUALLY IT CODED WITH P2172 WHICH IS "THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM - SUDDEN HIGH AIRFLOW DETECTED". THE CAR IS BEING TOWED (AS OF THIS WRITING) TO THE SELLING DEALER LARRY MILLER DODGE IN PEORIA AZ FOR SERVICE. PERSONAL NOTE: THE MANUFACTURER/DEALER SHOULD BUY THIS CAR BACK... IT'S HAD 2 RECALLS (ONE FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND ANOTHER FOR THE ENTIRE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED) AND ALREADY HAD THE A/C REPLACED.

HELLO I BOUGHT A 2016 DODGE DART A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO I'VE HAVE THE STANDARD MATINENCE DONE WHEN SUGGESTED BUT HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE OIL RUNNING OUT I'VE LOOKED UP ISSUES ONLINE AND I'M HONESTLY KIND OF SURPRISED YOU HAVE NOT HAD DODGE RECALL OR LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE ALREADY BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THESE MOTORS IN FACT I'VE FOUND THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE RUN DOWN SO LOW THE ENGINE ACTUALLY SHUTS OFF I WOULD PLEASE LIKE YOU TO INVESTIGATE INTO THIS AND HAVE DODGE FIX THE PROBLEM THANK YOU.

THE VEHICLES GAUGES MAKE A NOISY CLICKING SOUND AFTER YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND THE LIGHTS ON THE STEERING WHEEL TOGGLE ON AND OFF WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING.IT CONTINUES FOR 30 TO 60 MINUTES. YOU CAN TAKE THE KEY OUR AND IT STILL DOES IT. THIS PREVENTS ME FROM TAKING ANY REST STOP WHEN DROWSY AND HAS NEARLY KILLED ME. THE NOISE KEEPS THE DRIVER AWAKE WHEN THEY TRY TO STOP AND SLEEP.IT FORCES THE DRIVER TO DRIVE DROWSY. THE DEALERSHIP IS APPARENTLY UNABLE TO REPAIR IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND IT'S DONE IT EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. IT'S THE MOST DANGEROUS CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN.
