I have been recently having issue with my 2016 Dodge Dart which I have only had for exactly a year this past Oct. While driving in motion the car can just shut off. It has happened while on city streets as well as highways. I have torn my car to get testing where there is no code found and no lights come back on once the car starts up. I was told my battery was no good a couple months back replaced the battery and now car troubles again. I have been reading a lot of reviews where this is happening to a lot of people. This is extremely dangerous and I am in disbelief nothing has been done about this. Are we waiting for someone to die to take action "????" updated 11/29/18 consumer stated since the oil change there hasn't been any problems. Updated 12/12/18

Engine randomly turns off while driving. Car must be pulled over, and transmission put in park or neutral in order to restart the vehicle.

On a daily bases my car will not start. (mornings before work, evenings after work, when ever I stop the car and come back to it.) I must start the car with a jump machine whenever I turn it off. Today the radio started going out. Once the radio goes out it feel like it wants to cut off in motion, on the street.

Twice while driving my car has just completely stalled and lost power. Both times I was slowing to a stop. Other times it feels as it it will stall but doesn't. it has caused two minor accidents at a stop sign due to the stalling.the other event happened at 50,0000 miles in June. I took car to dealership, no codes came up.

I have had my 2016 Dodge Dart for 2 years and 5 mos and this is the third time the check engine light has come on and the car seems like it wants to stall out and has problem getting power and has a pulling effect when going at regular speed, I have taken it to the dealer to replace a coli on it already; I didn't expect to have any issues with a brand new car so soon and having to pay for replacing a coil which was quite pricey to do but I did because I don't have any other means of transportation and also because the original Chrysler part was on back order for several months; I don't feel that I should have to pay for these repairs being that my car is only 2 years old; and I now am having the same issue again and probably going to have to pay again to have same problem fixed; very unhappy with owning a Dodge vehicle :)

Takata recall. Car started fine drove about a 1/2 mile and turned them vehicle just died. Engine stopped dead in its tracks, ax still blowing just a little warm, radio continues to play, all lights are on as normal. But battery light is flashing. Put car in park in the middle of the road!! to restart, car starts right up and drives fine. No check engine light or any signs of problems.

The vehicle kept turning off while driving. It happened more often when vehicle was cold. Checked the battery and alternator at a mechanic and all was fine. Its a problem with engine oil. The car consumes oil at a rate of approximately 1 quarts per every 500 miles. When the oil reaches low levels, the vehicle will turn off while driving causing the steering wheel to get stiff and difficult to hit the breaks.

Thermostat failed at 47K miles on a 2016 Dart. This should have been covered under engine warranty but wasn't. the 2.4L has a history of thermostat failings and our dealership replaces them constantly.

Vehicle has had issues from about 1300 miles. The car will randomly shut off while driving with no warning signs and has a hard time restarting, if it will restart. The car has been back to the dealer several times and diagnosed and they can not find the anything in the computer system or figure out whats wrong. I was told be the dealer that it is acceptable for the car to consume up to 1 quart of oil every thousand miles or so. The only information I was given is that it is a known oil problem and that fca (Fiat Chrysler automotive) is not willing to do anything about the matter. The vehicle now has about 41 thousand miles on it and is back at the dealership for further testing. This has not only cost me extra money but has created major safety concerns, I had broken down while getting on and off of the highway with my family in the car and have been stuck on or in the middle of the road several times. These 2.4L Fiat motors are extremely unsafe ! I have told Dodge I refuse to drive the car until they fix the issue, also I would not accept the same car as a loaner due to the fact that the last loaner car I had similar to mine also had the same issue at the last service.

The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Dart. In October of 2016, while driving 25 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (napleton Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, 1460 E osceola pkwy, kissimmee, fl 34744) where it was diagnosed that there was inadequate oil in the vehicle during production, which caused the sensor to shut the vehicle down. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. While driving 40 mph, the oil indicator was flashing. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where a compression test was completed. The dealer diagnosed that the oil was evaporating and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and denied the claim. The manufacturer advised the contact to add oil and refer to the owner's manual. The failure mileage was 15,638.

Their were poisonous fumes coming out of the heater, coolant, and radio speaker systems, the vehicle burned too much gas, their was no acceleration in long distance {in ref to: A seaside university section 8 housing survey}, the dealership wouldn't offer diagnostic and warranty service; after I gave them alot of money they told me not to come back to their lot; I gave them the car back; and told the judges to tell them to return all the money I gave them back into my bank account: King county superior court case # 17-2-24602-6 sea filed in seattle.

I have had the car for one year and six months bought the car brand new and this us the third time the check engine light has come on and the car acts as if its going to die out. The place where I purchased the vehicle from fixed and stated that the coils were bad. Now I'm having the same issue again. The reason wht I bought a new vehicle was to avoid issues such as this. I traded in a 2011 vehicle that I had bought used had it for five years and never had ant check engine light issues nor any other issues.

The previous complaint was filed on September 15, 2016. Ihtsa id number 10906998. Originally the vehicle dying was said to be due to the oil needing to be changed and something with the turbo engine that my vehicle does not have. Since the previous complaint, the computer system was updated at the dealership. There were no other issues after the computer system update. April 10th the vehicle started making a loud rattling sound. The sound begins once you get over 50-55mph and gets louder the faster you go and the longer you drive. I recorded the sound so that the dealership could not find a problem. The service department said it sounds like a bicycle chain. It is scheduled for service for the rattling problem on June 21. Today while backing out of the driveway the vehicle tried stalling. After drive about 2 miles down the road, the vehicle died while pulling out from a stop sign onto the main road. A car swerved into the turning lane to keep from hitting me. This makes the 4th time that the vehicle has died while driving it. This issue is going to cause me or my children to be injured or killed. The vehicle currently has 14, 153 miles.

The car shakes very uruptly at idle. You can look at the engine and see it's shaking at idle. If you turn the air conditioner on it gets worse. Radio screen will not work sometimes. Blue tooth will work then cut off then turn back on when it feels like it. Automatic headlights work then randomly not work where I have to turn them manually on. Wipers do the same as the headlights but to correct the issue for the wipers it takes turning off the car and turning it back on and out them on low. Engine will die randomly while driving the car at any speed. Gps will not load sometimes. The back up camera works when screen works but also fails when screen is working and while backing up. During take off the car will stall like no gas then it will go like it's getting gas. During cold it shifts really rough like your using a standard slamming it in gear. I have also has 2 misfire in 2 different cylinders. One was a coil pack the other was supposedly a loose connection. Took car in for all this and dealer said if their is no check engine nothing they can do even though they feel the car chair and can see the engine shaking. They tell me to come back in when light comes on. Light switch has been replaced and still faults. ECM and tcm habe been reprogrammed multiple times and problems still consist.

This 2016 Dart GT has been in for service 13 times since it was purchased in March. The body connector has corroded twice and been replaced along with several corroded wires. The telematics module was also replaced after it tested inconsistent and working only 20% of the time (this is for the uconnect and bluetooth). If you hit 10mph sometimes it likes to accelerate without even touching the gas! while starting the car it now likes to say the keyfob has not been detected even when the key fob is right by the keyless start. The wireless receiver was replaced but it said key fob not detected again. This will make service visit #14! this car has serious computer/electrical issues. The keyfob not being detected issue could be deadly if it does it while the car is being driven and makes the car inoperable.

My 2016 Dodge Dart overheats the RPM goes up and down when the car is in motion. On June 26 my car cut off on me in the middle of the road and it took me ten mins to start it up my check engine light keeps going on and off and every time I take it in they say its nothing wrong with it. My oil pressure light comes on and I have 100 percent oil in my car. When I put on brakes it acts like it doesnt want to stop so ihave to brake farther away from peoples cars.

On a city street, tried to accelerate at a stop light with the brake on. Would not accelerate turning left in oncoming traffic.intermittenly (hops) in motion exiting a highway, upon braking I traffic, stopped at a traffic light and in the driveway with the key removed. Tachometer has redlined (6500 RPM + ) moving in traffic at 46 mph on level road and upon take off from a red light. Tachometer has revved to 5500 RPM's on the down side of a hill when on cruse control multiple times when on the highway. The car has jerked severely driving down the highway at approximately 70 mph.intermittently the climate control has difficulty in making a decision on the selection I made and has taken approximately 5 min before the air ( fan ) will engage. All dash lights have flashed when the key fob was pushed to unlock the doors. The auto door locks have failed to lock properly and engaged at 40 mph. The list is longer but my feeling is it is a computer problem and service says there is no code so no problem found. It has been in service 6 times that have been documented. My fear is this car is so defective and is going to kill me and possibly others if the computer fails with the steering or braking.the issues started @ 500 miles on the car, it now has 1900.
