2015 DODGE DART Complaints

MY CAR STALLS FREQUENTLY AND THE STEREO SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING POWERS DOWN. IT DOES IT WHEN DRIVING AS WELL. IT ALSO SMELLS LIKE WIRES ARE BURNING WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

HEN THE CAR WAS 10 DAYS OLD I GOT HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND IT WAS BAD BUSTED MY FACE UP . THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOIED A TREE FAILON THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THE AIRBAGS NERER DEPLOIRD. THEN I RAN IN A TREE TO KEEP FROM HITTING A TREE ANDAIRBAGS STILL DIDNT DEPLOY. CAN YOU TELL ME WHY THEY HAVENT DEPLOY . THE FIRST ACCEDENT WAS BAD TOOK THEM 3 OR FOR MONTHS TO FIX IT. WHY ISTHIS CAR STILL ON THE ROAD?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR TO SPECIFY WHEN THE OIL WAS LOW. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STALLED MORE THAN ONCE AND THE FAILURE WAS PROGRESSING INTERMITTENTLY. THE OWNER'S MANUAL HAD SPECIFIC GUIDELINES THAT WERE IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH WHAT THE CONTACT WAS EXPERIENCING. THE DEALER (MCKAY'S DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT, 2020 FRONTAGE RD S, WAITE PARK, MN 56387, (320) 252-7170) PROVIDED AN OIL CHANGE, INDICATED THAT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS NEEDED, AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO CHECK THE OIL LEVELS EVERY 500 MILES. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THIS WAS NOT A PERMANENT SOLUTION AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE LEVELS WERE LOW. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT *TR

WHEN BRAKING, BRAKES FEELS HARD AND REQUIRE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE FORCE TO ACTIVATE. A HISSING SOUND IS OCCURRING AND BRAKE FORCE WILL OFTEN NOT ENGAGE UNTIL HALFWAY INTO THE PETAL. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED BY MY MECHANIC, BUT ACCORDING TO HIM AND SOME RESEARCH I'VE DONE ONLINE, THIS SEEMS EXACTLY LIKE AN ISSUE WITH THE DODGE DART 2013 RECALL FOR THE SAME PART. AS TAKEN FROM DODGE'S SITE: THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE ENGINE OIL MIGRATION FROM THE VACUUM PUMP, THROUGH THE VACUUM SUPPLY TUBE, AND INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. PROLONGED BRAKE BOOSTER DIAPHRAGM EXPOSURE TO ENGINE OIL COULD CAUSE THE DIAPHRAGM TO FAIL. THIS COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST AND/OR AN AIR LEAKING SOUND. A LOSS OF BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST COULD REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO APPLY ADDITIONAL BRAKE PEDAL FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE LACK OF BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST COULD CHANGE THE BRAKING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. I'M PUTTING IN THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE HOPE TO AVOID OTHERS FROM ACCIDENTS AND ULTIMATELY TO HOPE TO GET A REFUND FROM THE SERVICE AND PARTS I HAD TO GET INTO MY CURRENT CAR. I RECOGNIZE THAT THE DOT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR A REFUND BUT WOULD BE INSTRUMENTAL IN HAVING DODGE ISSUE A RECALL IF ENOUGH OTHER 2015 DODGE DART OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS AS WELL. THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED HARD AND MADE A LOUD NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST. THE CONTACT CALLED CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (24 1020 BELMONT ST, BROCKTON, MA 02301) WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE, AND THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V542000 (POWER TRAIN) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION, BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

DRIVING CAR AT 25 MPH AND IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT ANY CLEAR INDICATION WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. AFTER 10 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED AND WAS DRIVEN HOME. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED LOW OIL COULD BE THE PROBLEM. OIL WAS CHECKED AND NOTED THAT IT WAS VERY LOW; THERE HAD BEEN NO INDICATION THAT THE CAR HAD LOW OIL. WE CALLED THE DEALER TO SET UP AN OIL CHANGE APPOINTMENT AND DESCRIBE THE STALLING PROBLEM AND THEY SAID "YOU MUST HAVE A DART", LIKE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES...... WEREN'T LOW OIL INDICATORS INVENTED IN THE 70'S?

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT AND HAD IT READ. SAID IT WAS LOW ON COOLANT, PUT COOLANT IN AFTER CAR WAS NOT HOT AND LIGHT CONTINUED TO STAY ON AND ALL READ UP THE SAME, LOW COOLANT, BUT IT WASN'T. APPARENTLY IT WAS THE THERMOSTAT. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THESE FAULTY THINGS? I HAVE SEEN MORE PEOPLE REPORTING PROBLEMS FOR THESE AND THERE IS STILL NO RECALL!!! I WILL NEVER OWN ANYTHING CHRYSLER MADE AGAIN, THEY NEVER STAND BEHIND THEIR MISTAKES, BUT EXPECT THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES TO PAY A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE FIXED.

I WAS DRIVING AND CAME TO A 4 WAY STOP SIGN, AFTER COMPLETELY STOPPING I PROCEEDED TO PULL OFF. AS I BEGAN TO TURN THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TREMENDOUSLY AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE RED BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR BACK UP UNTIL ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES LATER. EVERY DAY FOLLOWING THIS DAY, THE CAR BEGAN TO START UP AND STOP AFTER GOING ONLY A FEW FEET WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON.

WHETHER I AM DRIVING MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY AND STOPPED W/TRAFFIC OR ON A CITY STREET AT STOP LIGHT/SIGN AND MY FOOT IS ON THE BREAK, THE CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN. I DID TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC TODAY 1/15/18 WHO PUT IT ON DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND A PROBLEM WAS DETECTED WITH CODE P2122 THROTTLE/POSITION SENSOR/SWITCH"D" CIRCUIT LOW INPUT. MECHANIC SAID I SHOULD CHECK FOR ANY SAFETY RECALLS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ELECTRONICS AND GAUGES SUDDENLY TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FRIENDLY DODGE (1395 NEWLANDS DR, FRIENDLY, NV) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THERMOSTAT WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE THERMOSTAT WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
