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.
Yesterday I was out & my radio & dash lighting were dim. When I turned up the lighting dial my dash & radio lights went dim but lights on the ceiling came on full. Have not had this issue before.
There is definetly an electrical problem with this car as the speedometer light and radio light fade and are very dim without me changing the scroll. The gas gauge also doesn't always work and sometimes the lights don't go off when I switch them off all the way to the left.
