2015 DODGE DART Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE FROM VANN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (899 S DELSEA DR, VINELAND, NJ 08360, 856-794-9700), IT STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. A PASSERBY AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE OIL RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY KEPT REFILLING THE OIL WITH NO SOLUTION OTHER THAN PROVIDING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A DRASTIC LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN) OR 16V113000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING TO MY RESIDENCE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT OF GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THE TOW SERVICE HAD TO CALL THE DEALER TO GET THE CAR REBOOTED AND TURNED OFF, AS IT WAS STILL RUNNING. THIS HAPPENED IN CLOSE TO MY HOUSE AND I WAS LUCKY THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE. I AM REPORTING THIS AS IT IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST THREE DAYS. THE FIRST TIME WAS SUNDAY THE 17TH IF MARCH AND AGAIN ON THE 19TH OF MARCH 2019. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT, (HILL- KELLY CHRYSTLER, DODGE, JEEP PENSACOLA, FL. (XXXX). THIS IS MY FATHER'S NUMBER (XXXXX). PLEASE CONTACT HIM AS HE IS HELPING ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE CONTACT CALLED COLONIAL SOUTH CHRYSLER JEEP AND DODGE (42 STATE RD, DARTMOUTH, MA 02747, (508) 984-1900) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2015 DODGE DART WITH 55,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH IT STALLING WHILE STATIONARY. NOW ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IT HAS STALLED WHILE GOING 40+ MPH. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IT THIS HAPPENS WITH TRAFFIC AROUND ME.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN WITH OUT NOTICE, WHEN DOING SO IT'S HARD TO STEER THE CAR OVER OUT OF TRAFFIC, WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN.

MY CAR SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, SO WE WERE IN MOTION. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED 4 TIMES TO ME IN A SPAN OF 3 WEEKS. I CAN EITHER BE DRIVING DURING THE DAY OR NIGHT. IT WILL HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING OR WHEN I COME TO A STOP SIGN AND ADDING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE. ONCE IT HAPPENS, AND IF I PUT IT IN PARK AS WELL, THE STICK SHIFT WILL LOCK UP AS WELL. AGAIN THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 4 TIMES TO ME WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR GEAR SHIFT CABLE CAME APART WHILE SHIFTING GEARS TO PARK. I AM UNABLE TO MOVE FROM DIFFERENT GEARS. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OF REVIEWS CONCERNING THE GEAR SHIFT MALFUNCTION ONCE A CAR REACHES 70K MILES.

WHEN DRIVING YOU HIT A BUMP YOU HEAR A METAL CLANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE TIRE. WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE BREAKS THEY GO ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN BEFORE CATCHING AS IF THEY HAVE AIR IN THE LINES AND SOMETIMES YOU HEAR A HIDING NOISE. YOU CAN BE SITTING WITH THE BREAKS ENGAGED AND THEY WILL GO SOFT AND THE CAR WILL MOVE UNTIL THEY CAGE ON THEIR OWN.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS WHEN THE OIL GETS LOW, THE OIL LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON, AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN. THIS CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP, AND IT BECOMES HARD TO PROPERLY PULL THE CAR OVER SAFELY. WHEN WILL DODGE RECALL THIS ENGINE?!!

THE CAR STALLS AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. DRIVING IT TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAVING THE CAR DIE IS VERY UNSAFE TRYING TO GET OFF THE ROAD.
