2015 DODGE DART Complaints

THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE OUT OF THE BLUE BEGAN TO FORM A HUGE BUBBLE THEN IT EXPLODED AFTER I MADE IT HOME. THE TIRE BRAND NAME IS KUMHO SOLIS. *TR

BURNING OIL EVER SINCE WE BOUGHT IT, CONSTANTLY HAVING TO ADD OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS WITHIN SPECS. CONTACTED CHRYLSER CARE ABOUT ISSUES AS WELL. STILL HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. VERY DISAPPOINTED, A NEW CAR SHOULD NOT BURN/CONSUME 1 TO 2 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES.

I HAVE DRIVEN MY 2015 DODGE DART WITHOUT ISSUE TILL 2/15/17. IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WIFE DRIVING THE INTERSTATE ON I40. THE FOLLOWING DAY IT DIED AND MY FATHER IN LAW HAD TO JUMP THE VEHICLE OFF TO GET IT GOING. TODAY, (2/17/17), I DECIDED TO DRIVE THE CAR TO WORK BECAUSE MY COMMUTE IS SHORTER AND MUCH LESS DANGEROUS. I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND DROVE TO THE END OF THE ROAD TILL I GOT TO THE MAIN STREET IN OUR HOMETOWN, AND IT DIED THANKFULLY BEFORE I GOT ON THAT STREET. THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY STOPS. STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. ALL ELECTRONICS IN VEHICLE STOP. BRAKING IS SLIGHTLY DELAYED. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN TOWN AND THEY SAID TO CHECK THE OIL. WE DID AND HAD THEM CHANGE IT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS HIGHWAY DRIVING WHERE PEOPLE DRIVE 60+ MPH AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER INTO THE SHOULDER.

THE STEERING WILL CATCH OR LOCK AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING. INCREASED EFFORT IS NEEDED TO TURN CAUSING OVER STEERING WITH POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR

MY CAR KEEPS CUTTING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE BATTER LIGHT COMES ON WITHOUT ANY WARNING. AFTER THE BATTER LIGHT COMES ON THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS STEER, THE CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN, I CAN'T EXCEL AT ALL, RAIDO AND ALL LIGHTS CUT OFF AS WELL. ONCE THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, I'LL START IT BACK UP SOMETIMES IT'LL START RIGHT BACK UP, OR I'LL HAVE TO HOLD THE KEY DOWN A FEW SECONDS FOR IT TO START. THE CAR HAVE STOPPED ON ME WHILE DRIVING MOVE THAN 5 TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE FIRST FEW TIME THEY SAID AFTER THEY RAN ALL OF THE TEST THEY COULDN'T GET THE VEHICLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER TIME THEY ASKED COULD THEY KEEP THE VEHICLE OVER NIGHT AND HAVE A MECHANIC DRIVE THE CAR HOME AND BACK TO WORK. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WENT TO GO PICK UP MY VEHICLE THEY SAID THEY KINDA-SORTA GOT THE CAR TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THOSE WERE THERE EXACT WORDS. THEN THEY PUT A MONITOR IN MY CAR THEY TOLD ME TO PRESS THE BUTTON WHILE I WAS DRIVING IF THE CAR WAS TO GO OUT SO THEY CAN RECORD THE PROBLEM. THE MONITOR WAS IN MY CAR FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND MY CAR DIDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THEY TOOK THE MONITOR OUT MY CAR CUT OFF ON ME AGAIN AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND THEY RAN THE SAME TEST AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. ANOTHER TIME MY CAR WENT OFF I TOOM IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT MY CAR WAS HALFWAY EMPTY ON OIL AND THEY'RE TELLING ME THAT MY CAR IS CUTTING OFF BECAUSE IT NEEDS OIL AND THEY WERE GOING TO MONITOR THE OIL. SO THEY SENT ME BACK ON THE ROAD AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK WHEN MY CAR GOT TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MILES THEY HAD WROTE DOWN , WHEN MY CAR GOT TO THAT AMOUNT OF MILES THAT THEY HAVE WROTE DOWN I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I TOLD HIM TO TELL ME IF I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY TOLD ME I DIDNT. THE CAR CUT OFF WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON TH

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY CAR RANDOMLY CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING THROUGH MY COMPLEX AND FLASHED THE BATTERY LIGHT. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED & WAS TOLD IT'S GOOD. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH A MECHANIC IN MY WARRANTY NETWORK, THEY REFERRED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN TELL ME UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CAR DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO WITHOUT A DIAGNOSIS. SO, NOW I KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR RANDOMLY STALLING, BUT NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT UNTIL A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OR IT RANDOMLY STOPS AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME AND SOMEONE CRASHES INTO ME AND POTENTIALLY KILLS ME. *TR
