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.
It's been loud since the day i got my car and they said it was just how the car was. Overtime it's gotten louder and even seems to rattle and my MPG isn't as good as it was when I first got it. It's cuts out or stalls when you try to give it gas but it's very loud from the exhaust. I don't think it's just the kind of car I believe there is a problem but can't get them to agree.
