CarComplaints.com Notes: The first year of the new Dodge Dart had a rough start, with owners reporting a disproportionate number of engine and transmission problems.
For transmission, the main complaints are transmission failure & rough shifting. So far, average mileage for transmission failure is 25,000 miles. Not good.
For engine problems, it usually starts with the engine light coming on for any number of reasons: bad sensors, ignition coil replacement, bad wiring, faulty gas cap ... dealers are replacing various components with varying degrees of success, or telling owners they can't duplicate the issue.
In my dodge dart 2013, was already checked in the dealer twice because make squeeze every time that the brakes are used, recently like a month ago I heard and intermittent sound like "ta-ta-ta-ta" specially I heard more when I am in one stop, so I follow up and I found that when the air condition is on the steering wheel get vibration and it is worse when the speed of the air condition is increased. Also my average on gas mileage is very low around 26MPG. I reported a the dealer and they said that it is normal, well the sticker said 24MPG in city, 34MPG in freeway. 26MPG is almost close to 24MPG.
