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.
Bought the car used, drove it 40km off the lot and the tire sensor lights came on and stayed on. All 4 sensors would turn from green to red, back to green then to red. Sometimes it would register the tire pressure, sometimes not. I took it to the dealership, they updated the software/ codes on the sensors, which resolved the issue... for 3 days. Now it's just the front two sensors going red and green, but the passenger sensor is always red. I booked an appointment for Monday, February 26th 2018. Just for my transmission to go on me Sunday February 25th! I mean, good timing. I've had the car for almost 3 weeks now and let me tell you, they can keep the car.
