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.

2013 Dodge Dart Owner Comments

problem #2

May 182016

Dart SXT 1.4L I4 16v Multiair Turb

  • Manual transmission
  • 64,000 miles

Diagnose misfire and replace #2 ignition coil. However Dodge does not have any ignition coils in stock. They are on back order. I'm assuming I'm not the only person with this issue.

problem #1

May 142014

Dart 4cyl Turbo

  • Manual transmission
  • 40,000 miles

Each coil went back separately, meaning I had to go back 4 times because Dodge wouldn't just replace all the bad ones until they were bad.
