2014 DODGE DART Complaints

MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN I PULLED OUT THE OIL STICK THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO OIL. THIS HAPPENED THE SECOND TIME AS WELL. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE OIL WENT DOWN ABOUT HALF A QUART IN 1000 MILES. THEY SENT ME AWAY AND SAID THAT THIS WAS ACCEPTABLE.THE ENGINE ONLY HOLDS ABOUT FOUR QUARTS THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I WILL NEVER MAKE IT INTO MY NEXT OIL CHANGE WITHOUT THE CAR SHUTTING OFF. THE CAR SHUTS OFF DUE TO A SAFETY REACTION TO STOP THE ENGINE FROM BEING DAMAGED DUE TO LOW OIL. I HAVE NOT MADE IT TO MY OIL CHANGE SINCE I HAVE BEEN REFILLING THE OIL. DODGE'S GUIDELINES SAY IT IS "ACCEPTABLE" FOR THE 2.4 ENGINE TO BURN 1 QUART EVERY 750 MILES. THAT IS ALL THE ENGINE OIL IN THE ENGINE SINCE IT ONLY HOLDS 4 QUARTS EVERY 3,000 MILES. MY OIL CHANGE WON'T BE DUE ANY TIME CLOSE TO THEN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINS AND THREADS OF CITIZENS WITH THIS SAFETY CONCERN. I AM WORRIED OF WHEN THE CAR WILL STOP ON ME AGAIN.

"ENGINE STALLS OUT AND COMPLETELY DIES". THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY WITH MY SIX YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE ALREADY AND THIS WILL BE THE THIRD FINAL ATTEMPT FOR REPAIR. I'VE BROUGHT A NEW BATTERY EVEN AFTER IT PASSED SUCCESSFUL TESTING, AND THE ALTERNATOR PASSED AS WELL. THE FIRST TIME IT STOPPED ON ME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (HAD THE CAR TOLL TO THE NEAREST AUTOZONE FOR A NEW BATTERY) HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, 2ND TIME IT STOPPED TWO DAYS LATER ON THE INTERSTATE HAD THE CAR (THIS TIME I HAD IT TOLL TO THE DEALERSHIP) AND THEY PUT IN THE WORK ORDER WHAT I STATED DID NOTHING TO THE ENGINE AND ONLY COMPLETED THE RECALL ON THE BRAKES. THE THIRD TIME IT STOPPED ON ME WHILE DRIVING WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OCT. 2017 HAD TO GET A JUMP AND HE KEPT STALLING OUT BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED THIS TIME I CONTACTED DODGE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOLL ME TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR DOCUMENTATION. I HAVE OPEN A CASE WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING NO WHERE, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EVEN BOTHER TO CONTACT ME. I'M GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS WHEN THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 48,000 MILES STILL COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ALL THE TIMES I VEHICLE HAS STOPPED ON ME ON DARK ROADS, IN TRAFFIC, ON THE INSTATE MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS CAR IS A DANGER TO ME, MY, FAMILY, AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD IF I DRIVE THIS CAR. FOR NOW IT CONTINUES TO BE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHILE I DRIVE THE LOANER CAR THEY GAVE ME. BUT I'M STILL HAVING TO MAKE CAR PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I'M NOT EVEN DRIVING.

CAR WAS WARM, NOT HOT OR COLD - JUST STARTED DRIVING. AT A STOP, CAR ENGINE DIED (ALL LIGHTS WERE ON, STEREO PLAYING). TRIED RESTARTING, CAR TURNED OVER, BUT WOULD NOT START.

THE CAR WAS DYING AT LIGHTS, ONRAMPS, OFFRAMPS, JUST BASICALLY ANYTIME THE OIL SLOSHED AROUND ENOUGH TO LOSE OIL PRESSURE AND SHUT OFF. AFTER 4K MILES, 40% OIL LIFE LEFT ACCORDING TO THE MONITOR, THE OIL DOESN'T EVEN REGISTER ON THE DIPSTICK, HAD TO ADD 2-3 QUARTS. WENT TO DODGE DEALERSHIP, DEALT WITH CHRYSLER CASE #'S AND REPS, WAS PROMISED A FIX AND NEVER GOT IT. OH YEAH, THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO CHARGE ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. HAD TO ARGUE WITH CHYRSLER CORPORATE FOR WEEKS TO GET THEM TO PAY. IS IT BURNING? LEAKING? IT'S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FOR SURE. THE EPA WOULD HAVE A FIELD DAY. THEIR EMISSIONS ARE PROBABLY COMPLETELY OUT THE WINDOW IF THEY ARE BURNING THAT MUCH OIL, OR RELEASING IT INTO THE WILD 1 DROP AT A TIME. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY ACCUMULATING OIL IN THE GARAGE OR MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK.I DON'T THINK THE EPA WOULD LIKE KNOWING BARRELS MORE OF OIL ARE BEING USED THAN ADVERTISED. ALSO, THE CAR HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH CARS COMING UP BEHIND ME. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN TO/FROM WORK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND NEVER WITH MY KIDS AND FAMILY IN THE CAR. BUT YOU'D HAVE TO THINK THAT'S A HUGE LAWSUIT/TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN, AND YET CHRYSLER COMPLETELY SAYS THAT'S WITHIN REASONABLE SPEC. WHERE THE HELL WAS THIS "SPEC" WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR? THE NEW STICKER DIDN'T SAY "GREAT GAS MILEAGE, AWESOME NAV UNIT, BURNS 1QT OF OIL PER WEEK" ON THE WINDOW. 20 YEAR OLD CARS HAVE OIL LEVEL SENSORS, AND WARNINGS ABOUT THAT. WHY DOES THIS NEW AGE CAR, NOT HAVE AN OIL SENSOR ON IT TO AT LEAST WARN US OF IMPENDING DOOM WHEN THE CAR STALLS MAKING A SIMPLE TURN? THERE WAS A DEALERSHIP FRANCHISE CHAIN DOWN IN PHOENIX COMPLETELY REPLACING PEOPLE'S ENGINES FOR FREE WITH THE 2.4L TIGERSHARK (I THINK SOME JEEPS AND FIAT'S HAVE THEM AS WELL). I ALSO HEARD RUMORS THAT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINES OF 30% OF 2.4L'S HAD THE PISTON RINGS IN BACKWARDS?

MY VEH 2014 DODGE DART SXT AS I WAS DRIVING WAS STUCK IN DRIVE & COULDN'T GE IT OUT OF DRIVE OR TAKE MY KEY OUT BUT AS I GO ONLINE TO SEE HAS ANY OTHER DODGE DART BEEN HAVIN THIS PROBLEM & IT WAS A LOT OF VEHICLES HAVIN THIS SAME ISSUE I COULD'VE WRECK MY VEH WHILE DRIVIN BUT I GUESS WHOM EVER MADE THESE VEHICLES DOESN'T CARE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP STATED THIS IS 1 VIN# THAT ISN'T COVERED UNDER RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE IS DOIN THE SAME EXACT THING AS THE OTHER DODGE DART

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE. IT'S GIVEN ME PROBLEMS SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT IT. THE FIRST TIME I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE WAS A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED IT FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS DRIVING IT, AND IT SUDDENLY TURNED OFF AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON. NOW IT DOES IT FREQUENTLY. THE LAST TIME WAS LITERALLY THIS 3RD OF OCTOBER. THE DEALERSHIP MECHANICS SUPPOSEDLY SAID IT HAPPENS BECAUSE THE OIL IS LOW ON THE CAR, THAT THE CAR'S SYSTEM SHUTS OFF TO PROTECT THE VEHICLE FROM DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR, DUE TO LOW OIL. IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS THAT CHRYSLER IS WILLING TO RISK THEIR BUYERS WITH SUCH A FAULT SYSTEMS. ALL THE DEALER SAID WAS THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. HOWEVER, WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IT HAS BEEN WHEN THE OIL LIFE IS AT NO LESS THAN 58%. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I CAN CRASH AT ANY MOMENT. AND THE MOTOR JUST BURNS THROUGH OIL LIKE CRAZY. MY MECHANIC CHECKED IT AFTER MAYBE THREE WEEKS OF AN OIL CHANGE AND IT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL ALREADY. IT SEEMS LIKE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION ERRONEOUSLY SWITCHED TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION BEFORE THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (COWBOYS CHRYSLER IN SHELBY, TEXAS) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

MY CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO SHIFT PROPERLY. IT RUNS ROUGH LOSES POWER THEN SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING. WHILE IN MOTION CAR LOSES POWER N SHIFTS LATE. WHEN AT A STOP IN DRIVE THRU PUT IN PARK BEGINS TO IDLE N GET HOT.

CLUTCH PEDAL WILL STICK ON THE FLOOR NOT ALLOWING ME TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, CHANGE GEARS, OR PULL OUT OF GEAR TO STOP WITHOUT PUSHING THROUGH THE BRAKES. IT HAPPENS IN THE MORNING ESPECIALLY AFTER SITTING ALL NIGHT. ALSO, I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT ON THE HIGHWAY DURING A LONG TRIP WHILE STAYING IN GEAR FOR A FEW HOURS.

DODGE DART USES 1QUART OF OIL 1,000 MILES #2 DOES NOT SHIFT IN CORECT GEAR #3 RUBBING IN THE FROUNT END WHEN STEARING.
