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.

I have had this vehicle about seven months and already have had to have the vehicle in twice for the service airbag system light on. The first time, they didn't really find anything wrong as the light was off by the time I got to the dealer. They advised me that they updated some computer system at that point. I had it in again in January for the same issue, and they couldn't figure out exactly what the problem was, but they went ahead and replaced the dash cluster thinking it would fix the issue. Not two weeks later, the light is back on. I have been advised that when the service airbag light is lit, the airbags will not deploy, therefore it is driving an unsafe vehicle.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.
