TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE BRAKES HESITATED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING.

IN OCTOBER OF 2015, I WAS DRIVING IN THE 105 HIGHWAY & AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO TRAFFIC, THE BRAKES MADE A HIGH PITCHED SOUND LIKE AN AIR LEAKING. WE DID NOT GET THE VEHICLE CHECKED RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE I HAD ONLY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND IT WAS NEW. BY DECEMBER WE DECIDED TO HAVE OUR BRAKES CHECKED BY MY UNCLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAD TO ADD MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, AND THE NOISE WERE MORE CONTINUOUS. AFTER IT WAS CHECKED, MY UNCLE SAID THE BRAKES WERE STILL BRAND NEW AND HAD NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. BY JANUARY OF 2016, WE RECEIVED OUR FIRST SAFETY RECALL NOTICE REGARDING ALL DODGE DARTS OF YEARS 2013 AND 2014. I CONTACTED MY DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BUT I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD SEND A LETTER WHENEVER THEY HAD THE APPROPIATE PARTS READY. BY MARCH OF 2016, I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN AND TOLD ME THE SAME THING. AS OF TODAY, MAY 12, 2016, I HAVE RECEIVED ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL NOTICE AND NO LETTER OR NOTICE FROM MY DEALER. THE VEHICLE IS STILL MAKING THE NOISE AND WE STILL HAVE TO ADD PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES.

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 15 OR 20 MINUTES, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE SHIFTS ERRATICALLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JOLT AND OCCASIONALLY STALL. IT FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS TRYING TO DOWNSHIFT BEFORE RETURNING TO THE APPROPRIATE GEAR. PROCEEDING FORWARD OR TURNING MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS OVER A YEAR AGO AND WAS TOLD THE OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN THIS WEEK AFTER SEEING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS POTENTIALLY PART OF A NATIONAL RECALL BUT WAS TOLD I COULD BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO SERVICE BUT IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL (THE MAKE, MODEL AND DATE OF MANUFACTURE MATCH THE RECALL DATA BUT SINCE THE VIN ISN'T SPECIFICALLY LISTED AS BEING RECALLED ON THE SAFECAR.GOV WEB SITE IT WAS NOT COVERED). THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUES UNTIL THIS DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE OIL WAS BURNING. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED OIL SPOTS ON THE DRIVEWAY, WHICH INDICATED THAT OIL WAS LEAKING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL PAN WAS THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE OIL WAS NOT LEAKING ANYMORE, BUT IT STARTED TO BURN OUT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO CONSTANTLY BE FILLED WITH OIL. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND OIL WAS ADDED, THE LIGHT DIMMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

I HAVE A 2014 DODGE DART THAT IS BURNING OIL AT WHAT SEEMS TO ME TO BE AN ALARMING RATE. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP OVER 4 TIMES. I AM BEING TOLD I HAVE NO LEAKS AND MY CAR IS FINE, AND THAT IT IS CHARACTERISTIC THAT MY CAR NEEDS TO HAVE OIL ADDED EVERY 2K MILES. I DRIVE MY CAR TO AND FROM WORK AND I RARELY TRAVEL OUT OF STATE. I AM NOT OVER DRIVING OR ROUGH DRIVING MY CAR BY ANY MEANS. I HAVE SPENT OVER 1K DOLLARS IN RENTALS AND REPAIRS. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD SON THAT I DRIVE TO DAYCARE 4 DAYS A WEEK AND I CANNOT MENTALLY BE COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY SON IN A CAR THAT STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE ITS OUT OF OIL. DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING TO HELP ME AND I AM SEEKING LEGAL ACTION.
