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.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Received 2nd notice of recall R63/NHTSA 15V-800 stating parts were now available and to call dealer for inspection and replacement if necessary. Call to dealer who indicated parts were not avail and could take up to a year to arrive. How can an important safety recall be treated like its no problem? this is totally unacceptable and I would like an immediate reply to feel I'm doing my best to keep my family safe.

problem #133

Apr 182016

Dart

  • 10,500 miles
The Darts breaks started to flutter and then feel warped. Upon remove the rotors were imperfect based on poor quality molding/casting. The backside of the rotors have gouges where they have rusted but the break pads have never touched and in some areas the casting looks like it pooled and cooled different then the rest of the rotors... very cruddy and nasty across the rotors. The car started the issue when it only had 10K on it and it now has 17.5K and is getting worst.
