2015 DODGE DART Complaints

DROVE TO WORK FINE. GOT INTO DART TO LEAVE, STARTED CAR. AFTER 2 SECONDS I FEEL THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSH OUT HARD AGAINST MY FEET WITH A HISSING SOUND. THE ALARM "SERVICE ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM" POPS UP. I'M THINKING IT'S JUST EXTRA PRESSURE LIKE OLDER VEHICLES, SO IT'S OK. BUT NO, I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND REALIZE I HAVE TO STOMP THE PEDAL WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE TO GET ANY STOPPING RESPONSE. I HAD TO DRIVE IT HOME VERY CAREFULLY, BUT THE BRAKING RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL IS ABOUT 2 SECONDS OF SLOWING THEN A HISS AND YOU FEEL THE BRAKES LET GO, SO YOU EITHER HAVE TO KEEP DOING THAT OR STOMP WITH ALL OF YOUR MIGHT AND PRETTY MUCH LOCK UP THE BRAKES. I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, I GOT THE CAR ABOUT 1.5 YEARS AGO AT 48000MI, I'M NOW AT 64239MI AND VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY. IT'S A 2015, AND LOOKING UP RECALLS THE 2013 AND 2014 CARS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY CAR (WHICH IS A 2.4L MANUAL, ALMOST IDENTICAL IF NOT THE EXACT SAME CAR TO PREVIOUS YEARS) WAS NOT. I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE A BRAKING SYSTEM AND REALLY DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO BECAUSE THE CAR ITSELF ISN'T OLD ENOUGH TO CONSTITUTE A BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE.

WHEN PULLING INTO THE STORE A WARNING CAME ON MY SCREEN STATING THAT MY TURN SIGNALS WERE OUT WHEN THEY WEREN'T. ALSO STATED THAT MY LOW BEAMS WERE OUT, THEY WEREN'T. WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC A METALLIC BURNING SMELL CAME THROUGH THE AIR VENTS EVERY COUPLE MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT ATLANTA WEST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 1251 THORNTON RD, LITHIA SPRINGS, GA 30122, (770) 942-1102) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

CLUTCH STICKS TO THE GROUND AND LOOSES PRESSURE, WILL NOT SHIFT, FAILS TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE GEARS.

THE RIGHT WINDOW NO LONGER WORKS AS WELL AS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE TRUNK IS ALSO NOT WANTING TO OPEN. KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION EVERY TIME I TRY AND TURN THE CAR OFF. SHIFT CABLES ALSO BROKE, I WAS JUST GETTING HOME WHEN IT HAPPENED I HEARD SOMETHING SNAP BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH THEN I PARKED AND TRIED TO DRIVE OFF AGAIN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT TO DRIVE I COULD MOVE THE STICK.BACK AND FORTH STILL,HAD IT REPLACED A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THEY SAID THE WHOLE ROD HAD COME OUT AND SHOT INTO SOMETHING ELSE IN THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFT FIXED. ALSO HAD MOTOR MOUTHS FIXED THE MOUTHS BECAME LOSS WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW I BELIEVE THE AC COMPRESSOR IS MESSING UP AC KICKS ON BUT NO AIR COMES OUT, BUT IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE IN A WHILE CAR ALSO STAYS COLD FOR A LONG WHILE AND MAKES A WEIRD CLICKING NOISE WHEN I START IT UP. ALSO SMELLS LIKE OIL. PASSAGE SEAT ALSO IS STUCK. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHIN 2YEARS IVE HAD THE VEHICLE.

SUSPENSION IS TOO EASILY ADJUSTED. THE LITTLEST BUMP WILL THROW OUT ALIGNMENT AND HAVE THE RECEIPTS TO PROVE. WHEELS BEND EASILY, SPECIFICALLY 18 INCH RIMS. ENGINE USED TOO MUCH OIL AND LEAVES YOUR CAR TO SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHICH IS ADDED AS THE ISSUE IS KNOW TO HAPPEN. I AM 2,500 MILES AWAY FROM AN OIL CHANGE AND I NEED TO ADD OIL BECAUSE THE CAR USES SO MUCH. THE ISSUE IS KNOW BY DODGE AND ONLINE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT.

BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON. RECALL FOR SHIFTER WAS FIXED, BUT THE FUSE BOX IS NOW BURNT. IT'S IS A SPECIAL PART. I THINK THAT THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE RECALL THEN PART IS INTER THE BATTERY AND NEAR FUSE BOX,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN). JACKSONVILLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM ARLINGTON (9600 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225, (877) 677-5782) STATED THAT THEY COULD ONLY ORDER FOUR REPAIR KITS AT A TIME, WHICH COULD HAVE THE CONTACT ON THE WAITING LIST FOR UP TO FOUR MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED THE SAME INFORMATION AS THE DEALER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHEN I'M DRIVING, MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND WOULDN'T MOVE. THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON, ALTHOUGH I HAVE A BRAND NEW BATTERY THAT I GOT A YEAR AGO, AND WHEN I TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF TO RESTART IT, IT WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. I FOUND A RECALL AND HAD THE RECALL FIXED AND IT IS NOW WORSE WITH SHIFTING THAN IT WAS BEFORE, AND IT'S STILL STALLING AND LOSING COMPLETE POWER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AS IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH, IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY ENOUGH, I WAS AT THE END OF MY STREET, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WENT TO DRIVE AGAIN AND THAT'S WHEN IT LOST POWER.

THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY DIE WHILE DRIVING. WHILE PERFORMING A TURN AND THE CAR DIES IT LOCKS THE STEERING AND NO USE OF BRAKES. NOW THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT ALL. ALTERNATOR, BATTERY AND STARTER HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND STILL NOTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT HAS ALWAYS EVENTUALLY STARTED UP UNTIL RECENTLY.
