The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH there was a loud abnormal banging sound before the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle went dark and there was no electrical power. The vehicle failed to restart. The contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer who could not duplicate the failure. The contact stated that the failure occurred two more times and the vehicle was driven to the dealer, who was able to diagnose the failure on the third visit. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the onboard computer needed to be reset as well as the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle had been repaired; however, the contact stated that the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,815. The VIN was unavailable.
Blind Spot Detection says 'unavailable'. The first time this happened, it was followed by the radio & heater randomly turning off & on and all things electrical flashing off and on every few seconds. It was taken to the dealership & found the turn signal socket to show a high resistance when hot. After just over a month of everything working normally, it has now gone back to square one, starting with the blind spot sensors, just as before. Uploads are from when I had the car at the dealership in May. Blind spot sensors acting up once again on 6/20/22. Which is the date I put for when the incident occured.
The car battery keeps dying even though it's a new battery. Alternator isn't the problem either. A bunch of blown fuses relating to the starting of the car. Around the time this issue started the computer also had an issue and we can no longer connect to Bluetooth and the odometer is blinking.
I cranked my car up and backed it down the driveway with no problem. When I went to put it in drive it; the gear shift would move to to drive but the car would no shift in any other gear. I-€™ve restarted it multiple times and it will no go into any gear only stays in park, but the gear shifter will move.
Multiple occurrence: Car will stall while driving, losing brakes. The lights on dash will start flashing wildly and the wind shield wipers will start going on its own when turned off. Car will not start back again for a long while. The air system will not work-no heat or air conditioner, just stopped working. Very dangerous situation, car is unsafe. I'm not sure how it has a high rating in safety.

Every time the car is driven, the screen, blacks out and the radio shuts off. It then "reboots" and works for a little bit before the screen goes white and "reboots". also when this happens, the gauge cluster dims to the point where it is barely visible. Some commutes, it only happens once or twice, others, its seems like its every 5 minutes or so. It happens at random times, accelerating, turning, at a stop, etc.

The clock and radio will cut out and when they do the odometer flashes. After hitting the cd player to eject the disc the clock will turn back on but the radio takes a little to start working again. Once the radio and clock are back on the odometer stops flashing. The longest it has done this was 2 weeks.
My Dodge Dart has done this several times now where it won't start early in the morning, typically on colder mornings. I'll try to start it and nothing happens, yet all my lights are working including radio and ac. I tried jumping thinking maybe it was the battery and still nothing. It's not turning over or clicking at all and the gauges are go crazy. I haven't been able to bring it to the shop but this seems to be an on going issue.
All the lights in the vehicle vent out, the digital dashboard the touch screen everything that lights up went out. The motor almost died and started to sputter.

Power train & sensors related issues: I was driving on the highway@ 45mph in traffic & all of a sudden the speed idle down to 13mph in traffic without me pressing the gas pedal, I placed my emergency flashers on to let cars behind me be aware I was experiencing problems with my vehicle. The engine symbol illuminated on the dash panel as with a lightening bolt symbol, the vehicle did a surge in speed without the gas pedal being pressed, jerked & surge in speed again & I had to press the brakes to safely pull out of traffic to gain composure of what was happening with the vehicle sudden erractic behavior. No warning before hand. I cut the vehicle off for several minutes. It cranked up & the engine light illuminated still but the lightening bolt symbol hadn't. I called to see of any recalls & there was a recall for the computer module software. I was given a case number for the vehicle from the recall associate to call the local Dodge dealership & was told by one of the Dodge service associates, his sheet didn't contain that recall & wasn't able to remedy the problem.

"takara recall" I started noticed squeaking when pressing the breaks. This automatically making me assume that my brakes/brake pads were going bad. I took it to a local shop and after checking it out they suggested the brakes were fine and that I needed to take it to the dealership. Before I was able to do so, I had complete brake failure. I was attempting to come to a stop when the brake pedal was pressed all the way down and the vehicle was not slowing nor were the brakes catching. Thus resulting in an accident. The Dart is a total loss. My life as well as my children's lives were put in danger. All airbags deployed and another vehicle was hit as well. VIN not valid
