Car stutters when you crank it up. check engine light cuts on and off. Windows, Sunroof, Trunk all don-€™t work. Trunk won-€™t open. Sunroof and Windows won-€™t roll or close. Car staggers at 28mph. I have been locked in my car and locked out. Rearview cameras and charger port don-€™t work. Headlights blow every 2 weeks resulting in multiple tickets. Car will say brake lights, and headlights are out when they are not. I have been locked in my car before for several hours, because it wouldn-€™t let me out. Car doors will not lock. When you unlock the car lights won-€™t flash. Have to get an oil change often because it burns ALOT of gas. Car has cut off in the middle of a busy street after an oil change, because it needed oil.
It-€™s been having trouble starting. It started with the air conditioning going out, then it would stall in the middle of driving there are some fuses that are burnt up. And some wires in vehicle that are burnt up. When we have trouble starting jumping the vehicle would start it but still would try to stall. Finally the vehicle started stalling on us the power steering is out and we had to pull over we thought jumping it would just kick it back on til we got home. But when we tried it wouldn-€™t start and where the electrical fuel is it started smoking like it was going to catch fire. And I am having to find a way to get it into shop. But for now it-€™s left where we got stalled out.
The car stalls completely at random speeds and consumes a huge amount of oil. This stalling is extremely dangerous as it happens at even highway speeds. This is not a unique problem as I have read hundreds of accounts of the exact same thing happening on the exact same vehicle type.
The car is over heating and the ecm (brain) is messed up. I have only made the 2nd payment on the car and only got to drive it about a week and the tire sensor stays

I have had so many problems with this vehicle. I have had to replace two coils, had the air conditioner fixed, had to replace my rear shocks, which caused me to have to buy two new rear tires, the windshield wiper motor was replaced, my car was burning oil until I got a recall for that. Now my blower fan for the heater is not working, I only have 66000, miles on this car. All these issues could really cause dangerous problems. When my 1st coil went out I couldn't get my car restarted in the middle of town. When the 2nd coil went out my car would barely move and this happened before I got the recall for the engine oil problem. Now I will have to repair the blower fan because the defroster and heat aren't working.
System: Electrical system failed and car completely lost power (for at least the fourth time), this time while driving. Yes, this car is available for inspection with some advance warning. Safety: If I had been driving in a less safe area at a higher speed and the car just shut off like it did today, but in the middle of the highway, I would have been in danger of getting hit by other drivers. Reproduced: The problem is intermittent. The problem has happened at least four times PLUS the numerous times it doesn't start the first time but will the second time I turn the key. Inspected: The car has not yet been inspected, except for being with the dealer for an entire day in July for recall work, cracked oil valve gasket, and various service work. Messages: After turing a corner (traveling about 25 mph on a military installation), dashboard indicators flashed on and off several times. After pulling over as much as possible (with no shoulders) and coming to a stop the car completely lost power. It would not restart, the hazard lights did not work, and I could not remove the key from the ignition. After about 10 minutes the electrical systems began coming back on, starting with the hazard lights. After a couple more minutes I was able to start the car and proceed on to work. I had recall work done in July to address a PCM software issue regarding oil pressure and mechanical stalls. This battery is less than a year old and the technician said the alternator and old battery were both good. Two other times recently the car simply would not start - no indicator lights, no cranking, no sound, nothing. Also, two years ago when trying to start the car, all indicator needles moved rapidly between high and low and would not stop even after removing the key. Eventually they stopped but the battery was ruined. I'll probably trade the car in so it can kill someone else.
The contact called on behalf of his daughter who owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that his daughter experienced a failure with oil consumption. The contact stated that his daughter stated while driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that oil was spilling onto the engine. There was no leaks present. The contact was informed that the ECM needed to be reprogramed. The ECM was reprogrammed however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while driving at 70 MPH, the radio engaged on its own and the vehicle lost power steering. Several warning lights such as the brake system light, the battery light, the airbag light, and the engine light were illuminated. The steering wheel became difficult to maneuver but the contact was still able to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with the battery and alternator needing to be replaced, and was repaired. The failure reoccurred today while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the vehicle as the OBD reader failed to work. The vehicle was also taken to an unknown dealer who was unable to diagnose the vehicle for the same reason. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.
While driving down my street and accelerating, the car stalled out. No warning lights on dash. Had a hunch and checked the oil. It was nearly bone-dry. Added two quarts and it appears to be functioning normally. I believe the issue to be excessive oil consumption. With the lack of warning light, and just unusual occurrence, I could have been killed. I'm just glad I wasn't on the freeway (as other Dart owners I've talked to have been).
Touchscreen becomes unresponsive making it dangerous to drive, especially due to automatic seat and steering wheel warmers that cannot be disabled as a result.
Had this 2015 Dodge Dart for 1 week. The airbag light came on and would not go off. I took it to a Dodge dealership and they quoted me $546.74 for a car that I bought a week ago, for a manufacturing issue that was obviously not caused by me. The light came on when the car was stationary after sitting for a day. This is clearly a safety risk for myself and the car.
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the rear signal lights and brake lights failed to illuminate. Additionally, the trunk lid would not open. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the failure was due to a faulty wiring harness. The wiring harness was replaced and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer and local dealer brewbaker Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep located at 300 eastern blvd, montgomery, al 36117, were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 174,000.
My check engine light is on. I had it checked it's not reading anything. My right turn signal light keep going out. I have paid Firestone in East chase in montgomery al to replace the socket and I have had the bulb changed out at least 3 times. My trunk started out opening by it self. I had the battery replaced in the remote. Now the trunk will not open at all. The reverse lights are out. I replaced the bulbs. Still won't work, the trunk light is out. Now the car has started to beep beep like I have locked or unlocked the door when I have not touched it. I have to replace my battery every 3 months. Something is wrong. I have paid money at brewbaker and Firestone in montgomery al. I still have the same problem. When I start the car up. The car beeps beeps when it is parked and the doors locked.
In the middle of driving or takeing a slight curve, car will shut off. Most of the time it will reboot uconnect system & the ac system as well during drive. Red text is shown on the display of the info screen in side dash but cant see it due too car resetting.
The radio screen goes black and the climate controls do not function as it is controlled together. This means I cannot operate the front or rear defrost which can lead to visibility issues and a potentially dangerous situation when driving.
I have been experiencing pretty much every recall that is on the list number one it started with my car check engine light coming on. And the codes that kept on coming up or for the plugs and coils. I would replace them and they would just go bad again in like a week it is causing my car to do what seems like it's misfiring. My tire light is stuck on when the tires are fine. The speed control stops working on and off. When I steer there's a loud clicking noise. Whenever I try to shift here lately sometimes it won't go into gear. When I turn on the ac it will cause the car to misfire and the only way to make it stop is to turn off the ac and restart the car sometimes three to four times before it stops messing up.today the scariest thing of all happened I was pulling out of bronze and white smoke billowed out of the car tailpipes I'm not sure why. The car is also sporadically not going in gear when I am on the highway making me worry that me and my five kids are in danger due to someone raikkonen to me because my car will not go up to speed and will not shift into the right gear and misfires and will not go over like 30 miles per hour and putz. I replace parts and it seems to work well for a week or two but my car is not on the recall list they say that every single thing that is on the recall list is happening to my car. I don't know what to do about all of this I honestly you just think that Dart needs to take the car back.. like recall it completely. This car has been nothing but trouble after the first year of driving it.
On two separate occasions two weeks apart my car lost complete power. The first time it happened I was parked in front of a restaurant I could not get the car to start and the second time it was after midnight I was leaving work and I turned into a major highway(thank god there wasn't and big trucks coming)cause as soon as I turned onto this highway my car lost all power and would not start.I work on a highway where there are about eight different truck stops who all service and provide fuel for eighteen wheelers I could have been killed.
