2015 DODGE DART Complaints

MY CAR STALLS ON OCCASIONS IN ADDITION TO CUTTING OFF AND ALSO SHAKES WHEN SITTING STILL MY ENGINE LIGHTS STAYS ON

VEHICLE HAS SCARING ON THE CYLINDER WALLS THAT IS SOAKING UP OIL AND CAUSING A EXCESSIVE OIL LOSS, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN WHEN TAKING A CORNER AND NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD A FEW TIMES NOT ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN ME HAVING TO JUMP START IT TO BE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2.4L TIGERSHARK ENGINES. I AM AFRAID I WILL BE STRANDED ON A BUSY STREET AND THE POSSIBILITY TO BE HIT. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE SELLING DEALERSHIP AND IS TELLING ME THAT CHRYSLER IS DENYING THE CLAIM FOR A ENGINE REPLACEMENT, THEY ARE TELLING THE TECH TO GIVE ME AN OIL CHANGE AND SEND ME ON MY WAY.

I WAS STOPPED AT A 4WAY STOP AND WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD THE CAR STALLED ON ME AND DID NOT MOVE. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES, LET GO AND PRESSED ON THE GAS AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME THE DASH READ "GEAR NOT AVAILABLE, SWITCH TO NEUTRAL AND THEN TO DRIVE OR REVERSE." I DID THAT BUT IT STILL STALLED ON ME AND THEN THE DASH READ "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. AFTER ONE MORE TRY I MANAGED TO GET IT TO MOVE SO I JUST PARKED IT IN AN EMPTY PARKING SLOT AND CALLED MY DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AS I TYPE THIS I'M AWAITING A CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF MY DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN TELL ME WHAT WENT WRONG. I HOPE IT CAN BE FIXED.

CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AFTER A COUPLE TRIES OF RESTARTING IT IT WILL FINALLY START AND DRIVE OK . BUT IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND IS DANGEROUS WHAT IF THIS HAPPEN ON EXPRESS WAY . SOMEONE CAN DIE FROM THIS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE HANDLED

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY WITH MY WIFE, I SEEN SPARKS IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR. UPON PULLING OVER AND CHECKING THE TIRES(FIGURED A TIRE BLEW OUT AND WE WERE RIDING ON A RIM) I NOTICED A GLOWING COMING FROM UNDER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. BY THE TIME I GOT MY WIFE AND OUR DOG OUT OF THE CAR SMOKE WAS COMING INTO THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED EMERGENCY BY THE TIME I GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE DISPATCHER THE CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED. CHRYSLER DID AN "INVESTIGATION AND TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FIRE. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHERS WITH THE SAME RESULT AS OUR CAR.
