2015 DODGE DART Complaints

DODGE DART GT 2015 SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS ONLY A DINGING NOISE. ONLY 4200 MILES ON CAR THE FIRST TIME. SHUT OFF 8 DIFFERENT TIMES SENSE THEN. TOOK IT TO DEALER WAS TOLD OUT OF OIL. CAR WOULD SHUT OFF TURNING OR STOPPING FAST. GOT OIL CHANGE FROM DEALER. LESS THAN 4000 MILES LATER SAME THING, CAR SHUT OFF AND RADIO STILL ON AND DASH LIGHTS WORKING ONE DING NOISE. TURNED ONTO BUSY ROAD AND DART SHUT OFF, WAS SCARY FOR A FEW MINUTES FAST TRAFFIC COMING FROM BEHIND, HAD TO GET OFF ROAD QUICK. OIL NOT LEAKING IN DRIVEWAY. TECH AT DEALER SAID HE SAW THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND TOLD ME TO WATCH MY ENGINE. CAR HAS NEVER MAID TO A 5000 MILE OIL CHANGE WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF. ONE TIME SHUT OFF AFTER ONLY 2540 MILES SENSE LAST OIL CHANGE. DEALER FOUND NO SIGNS OF LEAKS OR SIGNS OF OIL BURNING UP. THE 7TH OIL CHANGE THEY REPROGRAMMED THE OIL SENSOR. LOSING ALL MY FREE OIL CHANGES TO QUICKLY. NOW I'M 750 MILES FROM DUE OIL CHANGE AND SHUT OFF AGAIN. I CHECKED OIL STICK - BONE DRY. PUT 2 QUARTS OIL ( O2 20W) IN , THAT GOT ME TO THE BOTTOM OF LOW MARK ON STICK. CAR RUNNING OK TO GET TO DEALER AGAIN.ALSO CHECKED OIL GAGE IN CAR, SAID:43% OIL LIFE REMAINING. THAT WAS A LIE. OIL IS ALWAYS VERY LOW AND ENGINE HOT BUT NOT OVERHEATING. OIL SHOULD BE DIRTY AND MAYBE A LITTLE LOW BUT NOT VERY VERY LOW. I WANT TO MAKE THE CAR LAST 150 TO 200 THOUSAND MILES WITH GOOD CARE. WORRIED ENGINE WILL NOT EVEN GET CLOSE. GOT EXTENDED WARRANTY. CAR ENGINE GONNA BLOW UP BEFORE IT'S TIME AND BLAME ME. CAR SHUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING AND NO OIL, CANT GET TO 5000 MILE OIL CHANGE. HAD A 2013 DART, LOVED IT, TRADED IN FOR 2015 WITH BETTER WARRANTY. MISS OLD DART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED WHEN THE VEHICLE MADE A COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED THE OIL CONSUMPTION MODULE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS A SNAP AND A LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR REPORT FROM DODGE, BRAKE FLUID FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED INTO THE POWER BOOSTER CAUSING LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. THIS CAR IS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR OLD AND JUST OUT OF THE WARRENTY AT 37,000 MILES AND SINCE WE BOUGHT IT WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT, DODGE WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIR COST. THE 2013 AND 2014 DODGE DARTS WERE RECALLED FOR OLI LEAKING INTO THE POWER BOOSTER, BUT THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAILED MASTER CYLINDER. I'VE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH MASTER CYLINDERS OVER THE YEARS AND ALWAYS GOT MORE THAN A YEAR OUT OF A BRAND NEW MASTER CYLINDER. MAYBE I GOT THE ONLY FLUKE DODGE DART MASTER CYLINDER PROBLEM, OR MAYBE DODGE HAS BEEN PUTTING SUB-STANDARD BRAKE PARTS ON THESE CARS FOR YEARS. I SAVED THE OLD PARTS JUST IN CASE. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE WORTH LOOKING INTO. WE NARROWLY AVOIDED A REAR-END ACCIDENT, AND SO DID THE DODGE SERVICE GUY WHEN WE BROUGHT IT IN. I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT ON THIS. THANK YOU
