My battery light came on going to work, left work battery light was out. Next day going thur a drive thur to get food battery light comes on again and car starts running rough like it wanted to stall out. Left to go home. Car would not run faster then 15mpg the whole way back. The driver's dashboard was going haywire and everything was flashing on my dashboard and no power steering at all. Got home car won't start. Took battery to have it checked and recharged. Went back to normal. One week later battery light back on again. Left work again light went out again. Luckily I wasn't on the highway without power steering could've been hazardous and maybe deadly. Don't know what to do. No warranty.

My car switches gears while the car is in motion. It also takes a long time for the key to be released from the ignition when the car is in park. A glitch in the electrical system causes my lights to go dim or completely turn off while I am driving.

2015 Dodge Dart. The fuel level sender has stopped working. It affects the miles to empty, the fuel gauge, also the gas tank light is on. It is very expensive to diagnose and fix. At the dealer just to diagnose the problem (when you already know what it is) costs $175. According to repair pal it is: Https://repairpal.com/estimator/Dodge/Dart/fuel-level-sending-unit-replacement-cost the average cost for a Dodge Dart fuel level sending unit replacement is between $708 and $1,372. Labor costs are estimated between $61 and $78 while parts are priced between $647 and $1294. Estimate does not include taxes and fees.

The car is using oil and will completely die while driving. When it becomes empty if I come to a stop it will completely die and I lose all power steering and the car struggles to turn back on. Dodge is aware of this issue on so many Darts and nothing is being fixed. This engine needs to be recalled! twice between oil changes this last time I have been completely empty. This has happened since the very beginning that I had the car.

The right window no longer works as well as the driver side window. The trunk is also not wanting to open. Key gets stuck in ignition every time I try and turn the car off. Shift cables also broke, I was just getting home when it happened I heard something snap but didn't think much then I parked and tried to drive off again and the car wouldn't shift to drive I could move the stick.back and forth still, had it replaced a couple of days later they said the whole rod had come out and shot into something else in the vehicle had shift fixed. Also had motor mouths fixed the mouths became loss within a couple of days now I believe the ac compressor is messing up ac kicks on but no air comes out, but it only happens once in a while car also stays cold for a long while and makes a weird clicking noise when I start it up. Also smells like oil. Passage seat also is stuck. This all happened within 2years ive had the vehicle.

Battery light comes on. Recall for shifter was fixed, but the fuse box is now burnt. It's is a special part. I think that there is a correlation between the recall then part is inter the battery and near fuse box,

When I'm driving, my car has completely lost power and wouldn't move. The battery light comes on, although I have a brand new battery that I got a year ago, and when I turn the car completely off to restart it, it will not turn back on. I found a recall and had the recall fixed and it is now worse with shifting than it was before, and it's still stalling and losing complete power. This is a huge safety risk as it can cause an accident or death, if this were to happen while driving on the highway or turning at an intersection. Fortunately enough, I was at the end of my street, stopped at a stop sign and went to drive again and that's when it lost power.

TPMS system failure (multiple times) I have had my TPMS system repaired three times since I have owned my vehicle and it never fails that it stops working again shortly after getting it fixed. I have no idea if this is considered a safety issue but it could be for some people that don't pay attention to their tires. The right cv axle has also gone out of my car at approximately 70,000 miles. This item was covered by warranty but other friends that own Darts have mentioned having the same problem. It created a bad popping noise and made going over bumps slightly unstable. Transmission shift cable -- this is active recall on my vehicle but figured I would include the information.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that the vehicle's battery was drained and the vehicle could not be started. The contact called roadside assistance to jumpstart the battery. The vehicle ran for approximately five minutes and then stalled. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the electronic control module failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 53,000.

Takata recall: While I was leaving work for break, it started to pour down raining so I decided to pull into a driveway and turn around but my car wouldn't go in reverse, after so many attempts of trying I tried to get it to go in park and when I did the car kept moving toward the street off the side walk. So since it was still able to drive I pulled out off the curb and went back to work and tried getting it to stop but it kept moving so I turned the car off. After that I was no longer able to start my car and my key remote was stuck in the ignition. Coworkers came to see what the issue was and told me there's a recall when they googled it. The people I've been talking to have been no help and I've been without my car or any assistance for an entire month.

Transmission control module caused vehicle to surge forward without warning. Car eventually just stopped working and had to be towed to dealership, where they are having trouble locating the exact cause of the electrical trouble, but have narrowed down to the tcm, ECM, and/PCM. Car only has 70359 miles on it, and the dealership is saying it may need to be completely rewired and programmed.
