2015 DODGE DART Complaints

THE CAR JUST WILL RANDOMLY STALL. NO INDICATION IT IS GOING TO DO THIS. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. I AM TO THE POINT I HATE DRIVING IT. I TOOK IT TO SHOP AND EVERYONE SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR SINCE 5/19

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE MADE A KNOCKING SOUND AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED ROUGHLY, JERKED, HESITATED, AND DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON OIL, ALTHOUGH THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ROUTINELY TAKEN TO IN FOR OIL CHANGES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. WITH NO WARNING, UNSAFE AND COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

IN MOTION - ON I-75 EXPRESSWAY, ENTRANCE RAMP MERGE. COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING OR FATAL TO STALL WHILE MERGING ONTO EXTREMELY BUSY EXPRESSWAY. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL STALL AT DIFFERENT TIMES, NO WARNING, NO WARNING LIGHTS, ETC.. VERY DANGEROUS. GRANDDAUGHTER WAS ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY AND JUST AS SHE WAS MERGING THE CAR STALLED. SHE WAS STILL ROLLING AND SWERVED OFF THE EXPRESSWAY ONTO THE EMERGENCY STRIP AND THEN GRASSY AREA. SHE BARELY AVOIDED A SEMI SIDESWIPE/COLLISION. BEFORE TAKING CAR TO DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD OVER THE PHONE IT COULD BE CAUSED BY A DROP IN OIL PRESSURE. THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THEY WANTED TO JUST DO AN OIL CHANGE TO SEE IF THAT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM, BUT I INSISTED THE CHECK FUEL PROPULSION, BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE FUEL PUMP/INJECTORS OR FUEL LINE WAS CAUSING PROBLEM. COME TO FIND OUT IT HAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. WE JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR IN APRIL 2018 AND IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON IT. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME TYPE OF ISSUE, SHOULD THE THROTTLE BODY BE CHECKED FOR PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE RECALL??? I SPENT 3 HOURS ON THE SIDE OF THIS EXPRESSWAY WAITING FOR A TOW BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEABLE.

RIGHT REAR CALIPER BEGAN TO STAY ENGAGED AS I WAS DRIVING, AFTER IT COOLED IT STOPPED UNTIL I DROVE AGAIN, IT BECAME SO BAD THAT IT BURNED MY ROTOR AND COOKED ALL OF THE GREASE IN THE SLEEVES. REPLACED THE ROTOR, PADS AND REGREASED THE SLEEVES, I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY TRANSMISSION PLACES ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL. BUT IT IS NOT UNDER A RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT FITS THE CATEGORY

WHEN I GO TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO TURN IT OFF TO GET OUT OF IT, IT TELLS ME IT ISN'T IN PARK SO I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND SLAM THE SHIFTER AS HARD AS I CAN INTO PARK TO MAKE IT GO INTO PARK AND UNLESS THE CAR IS IN PARK IT WON'T SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES TO ME.

I PURCHASED MY 2015 DART NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. SINCE 7/2017, THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON 3 SEPARATE INSTANCES. THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES UP ON THE DASH AFTER THE CAR STALLS OUT BUT THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE THAT. THE CAR DOES NOT RESTART AND HAS TO BE LEFT FOR 5-10 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL TURN OVER. EVEN THEN YOU CAN ONLY DRIVE IT UNTIL YOU PUSH THE BRAKE AGAIN AND IT STALLS OUT. THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE DART AND THAT IT BURNS MORE OIL THAN OTHER VEHICLES. EVERY TIME THIS OCCURS, THERE IS NOT A DROP OF OIL IN THE CAR. WHEN IT HAPPENED TODAY, THERE ARE LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON THE CAR SINCE THE LAST OIL CHANGE AND IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST OIL CHANGE. THE LAST TWO TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, I HAVE NEARLY GOTTEN HIT BECAUSE THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING.

THE PLASTIC BUSHING THAT CONNECTS THE SHIFT LINKAGE TO TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY CRUMBLED CAUSING CAR TO NOT SHIFT AT ALL. CAR ONLY HAS 57000 MILES. THIS IN TURN CAUSED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND READ CODE FOR THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) WHICH IN TURN CAUSED THE CAR TO RUN IN LIMP MODE FOR THE DAYS. MAJOR LOSS OF POWER! AFTER THREE DAYS CODE FINALLY CLEARED. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT A LUCKILY SLOW SPEED IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

I PURCHASED A 2015 DODGE DART 3/19/18 FROM A DEALERSHIP. I JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGE DONE WHICH WAS RECOMMENDED. THE CAR JUST RECENTLY STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON. WE CHECKED THE BATTERY (WHICH WAS A YEAR OLD) AND THE ALTERNATOR AND THEY WERE FINE. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO CHECK IT OUT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT AT AND THEY SAID IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS. NEVER DID THEY MENTION THE OIL BEING THE ISSUE. I GET A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE BECAUSE THE OIL WAS LOW THE CAR WILL STALE TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. FIRST OF ALL, IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD IF THIS CAN RANDOMLY STALL, AND SECOND NO LIGHTS CAME ON FOR THE WARNING. THE CARS METERS SHOWED THAT THE OIL QUALITY WAS AT 85% AND GOOD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT PERTAINS TO THIS CAR STALLING.
