2016 DODGE DART Complaints

MY DODGE DART WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER GOING TO THE STORE. I WENT INSIDE TO PUT DOWN MY THINGS. WHEN I WENT BACK INTO MY GARAGE TO CLOSE IT, I HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE. AT THIS POINT MY CAR BEGAN TO ROLL DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. THE CAR ROLLED ACROSS THE STREET AND CRASHED INTO MY NEIGHBORS 2 VEHICLES. AFTER GOING BACK INTO MY HOUSE AND GETTING MY KEYS, I UNLOCKED THE CAR AND FOUND THE PARKING BRAKE/EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD BEEN RELEASED.*DT*JB

'TAKATA RECALL' ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER. THE 2ND DAY SAME THING WOULDN'T START AND HAD TO END UP GETTING JUMPER CABLES. THE 3RD IN THE MORNING AGAIN SOME TROUBLE BUT NO CABLES WERE NEEDED. BUT LATER THAT AFTERNOON I HAD TO GO TO MY CHILD'S SCHOOL. GOT DOWN FOR WHAT WAS NO MORE THAN ABOUT 7MINS CAME BACK AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START. HAD TO GET CABLES. SOON AS WE GOT THE CAR GOING WENT TO AUTOZONE AND THEY CHECKED IT SAYING IT WAS THE BATTERY. SO I BOUGHT ANOTHER BATTERY THEN AND THERE. HOOKED IT UP. THE CAR TURNED IN FINE BUT MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SO STIFF TO TURN BUT I HAD TO GO. AND LUCKY ME IT WASN'T A FAR DRIVE AND PRETTY STRAIGHT. ABOUT 3 DAYS FROM THEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THAT ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS REPROGRAM THE MODULE. BUT THEY CALL BACK 15MINS LATER SAYING THEY COULDN'T DO IT BECAUSE THE MODULE WASN'T COMMUNICATING BACK AND THAT THEY NEED $230 TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC SO THEY CAN KNOW WHAT WAS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO SPARE AT THE TIME. SO I SAID NOT NOW. ONCE THEY BROUGHT MY CAR AROUND, THEY LET ME KNOW THAT NOW THE OVERHEARING LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THEY LOOKED AT IT. ON THE WAY HOME THE CAR TURNED OFF AT A MAIN STREET, LUCKY US I GOT TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AS IT TURNED OFF ALL WHILE I,HUSBAND,AND MY DAUGHTERS. TURNED IT BACK ON AND CAME BACK ON FINE. THEN ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS COME HOME AND HOPE THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF AGAIN. THE AIR,HEADLIGHT,AND BLUETOOTH CAN NOT RUN AT THE SAME TIME CAUSE THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHT WILL FLICKER AND THEN THE CAR WILL TURN OFF.

I HAVE BEEN RECENTLY HAVING ISSUE WITH MY 2016 DODGE DART WHICH I HAVE ONLY HAD FOR EXACTLY A YEAR THIS PAST OCT. WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION THE CAR CAN JUST SHUT OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAYS. I HAVE TORN MY CAR TO GET TESTING WHERE THERE IS NO CODE FOUND AND NO LIGHTS COME BACK ON ONCE THE CAR STARTS UP. I WAS TOLD MY BATTERY WAS NO GOOD A COUPLE MONTHS BACK REPLACED THE BATTERY AND NOW CAR TROUBLES AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT OF REVIEWS WHERE THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM IN DISBELIEF NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS. ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE TO TAKE ACTION ?????? *DT UPDATED 11/29/18*JB *DT CONSUMER STATED SINCE THE OIL CHANGE THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY PROBLEMS. UPDATED 12/12/18*JB

I HAVE A 2016 DODGE DART WITH A 2.4 LITER ENGINE. THE CAR HAS 16000 MILES ON IT. STARTING THIS WEEK, THE CAR SOMETIMES WILL NOT START. I WOULD PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, TURN TO START AND NOTHING. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON BUT IT WON'T TURN OVER. I FOUND OUT BY ACCIDENT IF YOU MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER THROUGH THE GEARS IT WILL START. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS MY FOB NEEDED A BATTERY REPLACEMENT, SO I REPLACED IT ONLY TO SEE THAT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIKE SMITH CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (1945 I-10, BEAUMONT, TX 77701, 409-840-3560) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFT CABLE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS I'VE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. MY CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING I'VE FILED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE REPROGRAMMED THE TCM AND PCM AND THAT SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM UP UNTIL TODAY, 09/16/2018. I GOT DOWN THE STREET AND MY CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE TURNING ONTO A BUSY STREET. I WAS ALMOST SIDE SWIPED AND THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS.

TAMARA RECALL THE BLOWER FOR HEAT AND AC WORKS OFF AND ON. IT STARTED ONLY WORKING ONCE A DAY NOW IT WON'T WORK AT ALL.

MASTER SLAVE CYLINDER LEAKED DOWN ONTO THE CLUTCH AND CAUSED MY CLUTCH TO FAIL. CLITCH WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 6,000 MILES OF DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM AT 69,000 MILES.

THE GEAR CHANGE ISN'T WORKING, IT SEEMS TO BE A SMALL GAUGE THAT KEEPS POPPING OUT AND NOT GRIPPING WHEN I CHANGE GEARS. I HAVE BEEN DOING IT MANUALLY.

BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE WHEN TRYING TO STOP . BRAKES WOULD PRESS DOWN BUT NOT SLOW THE VEHICULAR DOWN. THE BRAKES WOULD RANDOMLY FAIL WHEN STOPPING ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND IN URBAN AREAS. ALONG WITH THAT THE COMPUTER WOULD FAIL AND THE ABS LIGHT,THE ENGINE LIGHT , AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON ALONG WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT. ALL THE PROBLEMS HAPPEN OVER TIME AND RANDOMLY OCCURRED. THE FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING A NEWER CAR ! I HAVE HAD A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE BECUSE THIS HAPPENED GOING DOWN HILL AND I HAD TO WAY TO STOP TILL THE LAST MINOR AS THERE WAS A SHARP TURN PLEASE I JUST WANT THE CAR FIXED.EVERY OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICULAR WAS OPERATING AND IN MOTION
