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.

Cannot figure out the issue. This comes and goes but it is horrible at times.

problem #1

Dart Rallye 1.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,000 miles

Kept smelling fumes inside the cabin of the vehicle. Called dealership and they told me it was just new car smell. Finally fed up after the smell was starting to make me ill and burning my eyes. They finally decided to check it out and found an exhaust leak that needed to be fixed.
