  REGARDING THE REAR BACK UP CAMERA, THE CAMERA IS A VITAL TOOL FOR US, THE VEHICLE WAS LITERALLY ONE MONTH OUT OF MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AND IT WENT OUT. THEN WE WENT TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A SERVICE AND ASKED THE SERVICE WRITER IF THEY COULD REPAIR THE CAMERA UNDER WARRANTY AND WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING IN THE COMPUTER HE QUICKLY RESPONDED THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET, IS THE CAMERA NOT A SAFETY DEVICE? I REALLY WISH DEALERSHIPS WOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.

  The shifter cable. It is not available for inspection at no cost through any dealership I have contacted through the FCA. This can cause an unexpected and unrecoverable loss of park function and/or vehicle movement in an unintended direction which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning and/or injury to others outside of the vehicle. I received a letter notification of this recall A0C/NHTSA 25v-674, which applies to my vehicle. Dodge stated that the remedy for this condition is not currently available. The vehicle has not been inspected after the recall was issued. There were no warnings, messages or any symptoms.

  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 .

• 12/15/2021· ENGINE

  On December 13, 2021 my 2016 Dodge Dart shut down while driving and would not start back up. Had it towed to a repair shop, they could not duplicate the problem. I contacted Chrysler and the agent who helped me said there is no known issues with this particular vehicle. I found at that was a lie with a little google search. Picked my vehicle up and immediately took it to the Dodge dealership. They checked the oil level and it was so low that the tech said that if it would have been driven much longer it would have completely disabled the engine. No oil light, oil was changed recently, no reason for this to have happened. Found out there was a campaign to update software to the PCM module so that was completed along with an oil change. This created a COMPLETELY unsafe situation, luckily there was very little traffic on the roadway at the time. Vehicles with this issue should be recalled or the engine needs to be replaced.

• 12/12/2020· ENGINE

  2.4-LITER TIGERSHARK ENGINE CHRYSLER DODGE AUTOMOTIVES ROUTINELY OVERCONSUME OIL, CAUSING COSTLY MAINTENANCE. THE OIL OVERCONSUMPTION ALSO LEADS TO LOW OIL PRESSURE, TRIGGERING A DEFECT IN THE AFFECTED DODGE DART VEHICLE TO SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF WHILE IN OPERATION. THIS CAN OCCUR IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS OR EVEN ON THE FREEWAY. VEHICLE HAS NO INDICATOR TO SHOW ACTUAL REMAINING OIL LIFE TO WARN DRIVERS OF POTENTIALLY SUDDEN SHUT DOWN. THIS HAS CREATED AN UNSAFE DRIVING HAZARDS. THIS IS THE SECOND CHRYSLER PRODUCT I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERS ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR AND KEEP EXTENDING THE PROBLEM PAST WARRANTY AS THEY REQUEST OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS ALL THE TIME AND WILL NOT DIRECTLY REPAIR THE ISSUE. WE HAVE VISITED 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS, HAZE CHRYSLER IN GAINESVILLE, GA, TRONCOLI CHRYSLER IN CUMMING GA, AND NOW DON JACKSON CHRYSLER IN CUMMING, GA. THE DODGE DATE HAS STOPPED RUNNING WHILE IN MOTION AND ALSO WHEN STOPPED. THIS IS IN OPERATION BY MY SON, AND AS AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVE WHEN HE FIRST RECEIVED THE CAR, IT CREATES A GREATER THREAT TO NOT KNOW HOW TO OPERATE UNDER THE POWER LOSS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS. HE IS NOT A HIGH MILAGE DRIVER UNTIL COLLEGE SO IT HAS BECOME MORE OBVIOS IN THE LAST 2 YEARS.

• 12/12/2019· AIR BAGS

  AT 61000 MILES MY DODGE DART SXT HAS A SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM ALARM POP UP. I CONTACTED TWO DEALERSHIPS BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL OR OPEN WARRANTY FOR THIS. AS IT'S AIRBAGS, A SAFETY ISSUE I PUSHED THE SUBJECT A LITTLE HARDER WITH DODGE THEMSELVES AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. SAFETY IN MY OPINION SHOULD BE FIRST, AND UPON FURTHER RESEARCH THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE A BIT TO OTHER DODGE DART OWNERS FROM 2013 TO PRESENT WITH LITTLE TO KNOW KNOWLEDGE WHY. VEHICLE SITS IN MY BARK PARKED AREA AND IS DRIVEN VERY LITTLE SO SHOULDN'T ACTIVELY HAVE ISSUES LIKE THIS OCCUR.

  TL* 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.

  MY VEHICLE HAS HAD A MANUFACTURE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING SINCE APRIL OF 2019 BUT THERE WAS NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. IN AUGUST OF 2019 I PULLED IN A GAS STATION AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK. WHEN I RETURNED AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE THE SHIFTER WAS VERY LOOSE FEELING AND IT WOULDNT COME OUT OF PARK. MY LOCAL DODGE DID PAY FOR TOWING FEES AND PUT ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART ON MY CAR AFTER A VERY RUDE EMPLOYEE MADE SURE I WAS AWARE THIS WOULD BE A ONE TIME COMPLIMENTARY SERVICE SINCE THEY DIDNT HAVE THE CORRECT PART TO FIX IT. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019 I RECEIVED A NOTICE STATING THERE WAS NOW PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE PART AND THAT I SHOULD CALL TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DODGE DEALER. WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A VERY LONG WAIT LIST FOR THIS REPAIR PART AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS LIMITING THE NUMBER OF PARTS THE DEALER IS ALLOWED TO ORDER PER MONTH TO 14. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER AND IM BEING TOLD THEY STILL HAVE A LENGTHY LIST OF CUSTOMERS AND THEY ARE STILL LIMITED ON HOW MANY REPLACEMENT PARTS THEY CAN ORDER PER MONTH. I DONT THINK THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE WAY TO HANDLE A SAFETY RECALL SITUATION. THERE ARE OVER 200,000 VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECTIVE PART. I UNDERSTAND THATS INCLUDING THE ENTIRE US BUT IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO DISTRIBUTE PARTS ACCORDING TO HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON WAITING LISTS IN EACH AREA NOT 14 PARTS A MONTH. I AM TRAVELING TO FLORIDA WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AND PLANNED ON DRIVING MY CAR BUT WITHOUT THIS ISSUE FIXED IM AFRAID OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHILE IM 800 MILES AWAY FROM HOME.

LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THAT ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS REPROGRAM THE MODULE. BUT THEY CALL BACK 15MINS LATER SAYING THEY COULDN'T DO IT BECAUSE THE MODULE WASN'T COMMUNICATING BACK AND THAT THEY NEED $230 TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC SO THEY CAN KNOW WHAT WAS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO SPARE AT THE TIME. SO I SAID NOT NOW. ONCE THEY BROUGHT MY CAR AROUND, THEY LET ME KNOW THAT NOW THE OVERHEARING LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THEY LOOKED AT IT. ON THE WAY HOME THE CAR TURNED OFF AT A MAIN STREET, LUCKY US I GOT TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AS IT TURNED OFF ALL WHILE I,HUSBAND,AND MY DAUGHTERS. TURNED IT BACK ON AND CAME BACK ON FINE.

• 11/06/2023· STEERING,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,ENGINE

  The Dodge dart has a malfunction that might have contributed in many crashes this car has been involved in. The issue is that some darts will experience a malfunction where the lights inside the car will randomly flicker (should they be on), digital dash will also flicker and navigation screen will either restart or just shut off. The biggest problem in all of this is that the power steering will always temporarily shut off and make it extremely hard to steer the car for a few seconds and this can happen during turns. The reset can also happen many times in a row forcing the power steering to be shut down for multiple seconds longer than the avg like 5-8 seconds. within that reset all lights on the dash will flick on and off and if you have cruise control on, it will shut off permanently until you restart the car. Sometimes the reset doesn't successfully turn on and the navigation will remain off indefinitely and will blast hot air into your cabin forcing you to park and restart your car. If your dart slows down to a stop the power steering will shut off forcing you to attempt to park your car with an extremely stiff power steering or you can restart your car for a chance to regain some assitance from the PS. Sometimes putting the car in reverse shuts off the car. The issue that the car displays when these errors occur is "Service Power Steering" or "Service Electronic Braking System" weird request when the braking is just fine. Dealership cannot diagnose this issue because the codes seemingly clear themselves as if nothing has ever happened. I have found a few others with similar issues to mine on Reddit as well as The Dodge dart forums. This issue also happens at random. There isn't a trigger or requirement for it to happen. You can be sitting at a parking lot with the car on in park and it might just reset itself for no reason and give you a stiff wheel.

  UNKNOWN. When trying to switch gears from reverse to drive, the gear got stuck in neutral. My gear shift is able to move when pressing on the brake as it is intended to do. However, the actual gear does not change and on the dashboard and the light display from the gear shift still shows "N" for neutral. My brake lights are still working and the solenoid still clicks when pressing on brake. I was able to shift gears manually from underneath the hood. I did a complete complete reset and still the gears do not change. My e-brake is on and the car has not moved due to not being able to shift gears. This has never happened before and there have been no problems with my steering wheel, brakes or gear shift before. There were/are no warning messages or displays. Even though, there is a recall, dealerships have told me that there is nothing wrong with my car and there are no recalls at all. I am currently looking for a mobile mechanic since my car is unable to move. My car has not been seen yet.
