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.

paint coming off back bumper area paint coming off back bumper area

So I noticed that I have some sort of paint issue on my back bumper on both sides same spot were there is no way a rock could of been the culprit there are deep gashes were there is no paint at all like what on earth is going on? I only drive to work, gym, and run errands I have barely used my trunk. I am gonna take my car to the dealership soon because of my hectic schedule for work this is so inconvenient. We will see what happens so far the customer service is horrible at the dealership I bought my car from. I'm so fed up wish I never purchased the car.
