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.
I changed the socket for the park light/turn signal and in less than a week the socket was burnt. The bulbs burn out quick and do not fit snug. I am concerned that it will catch fire. I can't afford to get it fixed at the present because my husband is off work due to neck surgery. As soon as I can I will put it in the shop and find out why it keeps burning. I love my Dart but this is ridiculous!!!!!!!
Burnt connector on Driving/turn lights in front, both sides. One bulb has bunrt out, spent two hours looking for replacement could not find one. Brought to the dealer, they where going to contact Dodge. They told me who ever they talked to said " if it's working don't worry about it. Well I am worried !!!
The problem all started with my left turn signal light bulb going out, because it is a new car, no where sells the light bulbs so I had to go to the dealership to purchase them. They thought they installed it properly, but in the end, the light still didn't work. then it went to the socket being out, came 2 days later for them to install it and now its an electrical problem... Tomorrow, I have to drop the car to the dealership for the third time for them to try to fix the car.its only been 3 months, the only thing I should have serviced is an oil change. I am highly frustrated and just want a new car.
