2015 DODGE DART Complaints

WHILE DRIVING I LOST COMPLETE USE OF BRAKES AND NEEDED TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT NORMAL SPEED LIMITS. BRAKES COMPLETELY WENT DOWN TO FLOOR AND CAR ACCELERATED. I NOTICED A AIR SWOOSHING SOUND AS I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THEM. I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH VACUUM HOSE RUNNING TO VACUUM PUMP TO BRAKE BOOSTER THAT WAS/IS LEAKING THAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. THEY DEEMED CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL I PAY FULL PRICE FOR REPAIR ALTHOUGH I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2013-2014 DODGE DARTS FOR THIS ISSUE. CAN IT BE POSSIBLE THE 2015 DODGE DART IS ALSO AFFECTED? I'M AT 47, 985 MILES. I AM THE ONLY OWNER.*DT REPAIRED *JB

ON 10/24/19 WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE AND LOSE POWER. I HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY EXIT OF FREEWAY ONCE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OVER INSTEAD IT MADE A THUMP SOUND. THE VEHICLE SMELLED LIKE GAS AND OIL INSIDE. LEADING UP THE THIS EARLIER IN THE WEEK THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHILE AT STOP SIGNS AND LIGHTS FEELING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. CAR WAS TOWED TO MY HOUSE THEN ON 10/25/19 VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DODGE DEALER WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY STILL AT.

MY 2015 DODGE DART HAS STARTED TO OVERHEAT WHILE SITTING IN LIGHT TO HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH SEVERAL STOP LIGHTS AFTER DRIVING 30 MINUTES NON STOP. I DID HAVE THE RECALL DONE ON IT FOR THE THERMOSTAT WHEN IT CAME OUT. I HAVE MY CAR SERVICED AND EVERYTHING CHANGED LIKE YOUR SUPPOSE TO SO WHY IS MY CAR OVERHEATED BUT WHEN I TAKE OFF IT COOLS DOWN? THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED, WHICH MEANT THAT THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE COOLANT RESERVOIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT COOLANT WAS LEAKING FROM THE THERMOSTAT. THE THERMOSTAT WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

REAR VIEW CAMERA WENT OUT ON MY 2015 DODGE DART... THIS CAME RIGHT AFTER A RECALL AND MY TRANSMISSION CABLE BUSHING SNAPPED.

I HAVE TRIED TO SCHEDULE A RECALL FOR MONTHS. I RECEIVED THE NOTICE, CALLED JIM CLICK DODGE, WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MONTHS. AFTER ABOUT 4 MONTHS OF THIS, THEY STARTED TELLING ME THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT TODAY AND WHEN I ARRIVED, THEY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T ORDER THE PART AND IT WOULD BE ANOTHER WEEK. I'VE CALLED LARRY H. MILLER AND WAS PUT ON A "LIST". I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY WEREN'T ANY HELP EITHER AND JUST KEPT SAYING "I'M SORRY". CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW.

THE 2015 DODGE DART WAS PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018 WITH 35,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED HAD HASN'T HAD ANY ISSUES UNTIL NOVEMBER 9, 2019. THE CAR WAS STARTED THAT MORNING AND IDLED APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES, IT DROVE ABOUT 60 FEET AND STALLED, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHERE LOST. THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART IT STRUGGLED, BUT EVENTUALLY TURNED OVER. IT THEN DROVE FINE . ONCE AT HOME I RESEARCH THE ISSUE AND FOUND MULTIPLE REPORTS LIKE MINE OF ENGINES STALLING DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION.

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAR WILL JERK, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL TURN OFF AND THE DASH WILL LIGHT UP SAYING ELECTRIC BRAKE SERVICE, I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE PANEL IF NEEDED, ALSO THE CAR WILL NOT ALWAYS START WHEN THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED, TRACTION CONTROL ALSO LIGHTS UP FOR NO REASON, THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE OCT, 3 2019

2015 DODGE DART. THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER HAS STOPPED WORKING. IT AFFECTS THE MILES TO EMPTY, THE FUEL GAUGE, ALSO THE GAS TANK LIGHT IS ON. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX. AT THE DEALER JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM (WHEN YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS) COSTS $175.00. ACCORDING TO REPAIR PAL IT IS: HTTPS://REPAIRPAL.COM/ESTIMATOR/DODGE/DART/FUEL-LEVEL-SENDING-UNIT-REPLACEMENT-COST THE AVERAGE COST FOR A DODGE DART FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT REPLACEMENT IS BETWEEN $708 AND $1,372. LABOR COSTS ARE ESTIMATED BETWEEN $61 AND $78 WHILE PARTS ARE PRICED BETWEEN $647 AND $1294. ESTIMATE DOES NOT INCLUDE TAXES AND FEES.

THE CAR IS USING OIL AND WILL COMPLETELY DIE WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT BECOMES EMPTY IF I COME TO A STOP IT WILL COMPLETELY DIE AND I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND THE CAR STRUGGLES TO TURN BACK ON. DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE ON SO MANY DARTS AND NOTHING IS BEING FIXED. THIS ENGINE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! TWICE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES THIS LAST TIME I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY EMPTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING THAT I HAD THE CAR.
