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.

bracket around battery terminal had a very small gap in it (1 reports)
The bracket around the positive terminal makes contact with the terminal and the electrical block attached to it, I slid a dime in between to make a solid contact and the trouble lights on the dash went out. I took the dime out, and the power steering light, and the tire pressure light came on, I think this also was causing the steering wheel to lock while my nephew was driving. Try it, see if it works for you.
