2015 DODGE DART Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,177.

MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2015 DODGE DART ON THE ROAD AND IT COMPLETELY STALLED ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT THEN STARTED UP AGAIN AND DROVE. CAR WOULD NOT START AT SCHOOL UNTIL MANY TRIES. CAR 1 DAY LATER, 09202017, STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND AND THANK GOD NO CARS WERE BEHIND HIM FOR A REAR END ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION ! DEALER INDICATED THE CAR WAS LOW ON OIL (ONLY 25% OIL LEFT). NO ENGINE OIL LIGHT HAS COME ON TO EVER WARN US. ADDITIONALLY, THE DODGE DART FORM WEBSITE INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DART'S 2.4L ENGINE CONSUMING 1 QUART OR MORE EVERY 2,000 MILES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A NEW CAR TO BURN THIS MUCH OIL AND CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF PROTECTION WHILE ON A FREEWAY OR BUSY ROAD WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. DEALERS ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO SAY AND DON'T INVESTIGATE THIS ENGINE PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE HELP THIS COMMUNITY OF CAR OWNERS BEFORE ACCIDENTS OCCUR AND LOSS OF VEHICLE ENGINES AT GREAT EXPENSE TO OWNER. MANY PEOPLE ON THE MENTIONED FORUM ALSO INDICATE THEIR OIL LOW LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON TO WARN THEM BEFORE THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF "WHILE DRIVING"

ON MARCH 31, 2017, I HIT A CURB WITH THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE OF MY VEHICLE DAMAGING PARTS OF THE SUSPENSION, INCLUDING THE CONTROL ARM, AS WELL AS THE BODY. AT THE TIME, I ASSUMED THAT WHEN I HIT THE CURB, MY WHEEL WAS TURNED, WHICH CAUSED THE DAMAGE TO THE SUSPENSION. CAR WAS REPAIRED. AT TIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE A CLUNKING NOISE WHILE TURNING LEFT OR WHEN ACCELERATING. ALSO AT TIMES, AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE. ON AUGUST 17, 2017, I WAS STOPPED TO YIELD FOR A VEHICLE CROSSING A ONE LANE BRIDGE. THIS BRIDGE WAS FLAT AND SMOOTH, WITH A CURVE AROUND TO THE LEFT IN MY DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. I STARTED MOVING TO GO OVER THE BRIDGE AND WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 5-10 M.P.H., AS I APPROACHED THE LEFT CURVE, I STARTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY LEFT IN ANTICIPATION OF THE CURVE. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME NON RESPONSIVE AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE KEPT GOING LEFT, CAUSING ME TO IMPACT A CURB AND GUARD RAIL, AGAIN ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT. THE BODY SHOP SAID I HAD TO HAVE HIT SOMETHING TO SNAP THE BRAND NEW CONTROL ARM. I HIT NOTHING PRIOR TO IMPACT WITH THE CURB AND GUARD RAIL. THERE IS MINIMAL BODY DAMAGE BUT THE CONTROL ARM IS SNAPPED. I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS SOME TYPE OF POSSIBLE DEFECT WITH THE CONTROL ARM THAT WOULD CAUSE IT TO FRACTURE AND SNAP, LEADING TO MY LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND COLLISION. I HAVE READ WHERE DEFECTIVE CONTROL ARMS HAVE BEEN NOTED ON OTHER DODGE VEHICLES.

BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS & BALLASTS WENT BAD. IT'S GOING TO COST ME $990 TO HAVE REPAIR. I WAS ASKED IF I WANTED THEM FIXED...LIKE IF I HAD CHOOSE? DON'T YOU NEED LIGHTS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT? A-HOLES A COMPLIANT HAS BEEN FILED WITH DODGE CORP OFFICE (#32146428). THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO CALL (8/8/17) AND NEVER DID SO FAR.

THIS CAR SUDDENLY STALLS AND DIE NOW ALL THE TIME EVEN WHILE DRIVING IN HIGHWAY, TOOK IT TO MANUFACTURE DEALERSHIP THEY MADE DIOGNOSTIC SAYING NOTHING WRONG BUT, THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER RESOLVE. SEARCHING THE WEB I NOTICE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE BEEN HAVING SAME ISSUES AS MINE WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THANK YOU
