2015 Dodge Dart SXT with 2.4L autoamtic stalls within half mile of start-up. It takes quite a long time for starter cranking for it to restart. It does not matter if cold weather or warm. 99000 miles
Our 2015 Dodge Dart has only 18,700 miles on it and twice in the last 10 months while driving on a freeway, the clutch pedal was depressed in order to shift gears and the pedal stuck to the floor. The first time this happened in August 2017, the master cylinder was replaced at no cost to us. It just happened again on April 28, 2018, same scenario - driving on freeway, tried to shift - and we are told the clutch kit and throw out bearing needs to be replaced and Dodge is refusing to pay for it, saying it is normal wear and tear and not covered under warranty. And because it is different parts it is not covered under warranty of work in August 2017. I have seen many complaints of similar issues and even a couple of lawsuits. Even if repaired again, I am very concerned that this could happen again and am not comfortable driving this car outside of city streets. Dodge refuses to acknowledge this is a known issue nor do they say that my car is covered under an extended warranty on the hydraulic clutch that they issued in 2016.
I had just came home and ran into my house to grab something and immediately returned back to the car and when I started the engine and attempted to put my car into drive the light on the gear shift for neutral lit up. The car is now stuck in neutral and the key will not come out of the ignition due to it being in neutral. We have called several numbers for Dodge and they are telling us that the car is not qualify for the recall because the VIN is not showing up with a recall even though the sight shows that there is a recall for the exact issue for 2011 - 2015 Dodge Darts. We need assistance with this because if they know these cars have this issue there is no way they should be telling us that this car does not qualify for the recall. Please help.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. While the vehicle was in reverse, it started to jerk violently and the gear shifter failed. The contact was able to shift the gear into drive and was able to drive the vehicle. In addition, while accelerating from a stop, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact waited a few minutes before restarting the vehicle to continue driving. Also, the battery warning indicator illuminated. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and noticed that it was out of oil. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to determine the cause of the failures. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 43,000.
My car stalls frequently and the stereo system and everything powers down. It does it when driving as well. It also smells like wires are burning when this happens.
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. While driving 35 mph, the transmission shifted hard and made a loud noise. There were no warning indicators illuminated prior to the failure. The contact stated that the failure occurred numerous times in the past. The contact called Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (24 1020 belmont St, brockton, MA 02301) who stated that there was no recall on the vehicle, and the contact would have to pay for the remedy. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 15V542000 (power train) as a possible solution, but the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 60,000.
Check engine light came on and went and had it read. Said it was low on coolant, put coolant in after car was not hot and light continued to stay on and all read up the same, low coolant, but it wasn't. apparently it was the thermostat. Why is there not a recall on these faulty things? I have seen more people reporting problems for these and there is still no recall!!! I will never own anything Chrysler made again, they never stand behind their mistakes, but expect the owners of the vehicles to pay a ridiculous amount of money to have the vehicle fixed.
I was stopped at a 4way stop and when I tried to move forward the car stalled on me and did not move. I pressed on the brakes, let go and pressed on the gas again and it did the same thing but this time the dash read "gear not available, switch to neutral and then to drive or reverse." I did that but it still stalled on me and then the dash read "service transmission" and the engine light came on as well. After one more try I managed to get it to move so I just parked it in an empty parking slot and called my dealerships service department. The car was towed to the dealership and as I type this I'm awaiting a call from the service department of my dealership so they can tell me what went wrong. I hope it can be fixed.
Takata recall I was driving on a city street and the car RPM revved up like I put it into neutral and a few lights came on the dash then the whole car shut off I had to fight to get the car to the side of the road bc O lost power steering and the care would crank back up I took this to the dealership in weiden germany and they said they rest the computer
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. While attempting to start the vehicle, it failed to start. The contact was able to start the vehicle by shifting into park. The vehicle was taken to bettenhausen automotive (8355 w 159th St, tinley park, il 60477) where it was diagnosed that a loose cable in the transmission caused the failure and needed to be reconnected. The contact did not know the specific cable. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer stated that they would call the manufacturer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the dealer never called. The contact was advised to wait until the dealer provided them with a diagnosis because they would believe the dealer over the consumer. The approximate failure mileage was 15,500.
I bought a 2015 Dodge Dart SXT with 32996 miles on it.got the car on 4-4-2017.I had it not even a month and it's been one thing after another with it.first it dont shift properly it gets to a high RPM then it shoot you forward at a fast speed.then a very bad knocking in the front end when you turn the wheel from left to right while parked.the dealership looked at it 3 times and couldn't diagnose it but did tell me it needs two up dates that would fix the shifting issue, then said I needed a new right shift axel and I asked them to check the right hub cause the other shop told me the hub was bad. Well they were right on that. So Dodge fixed those things for me.then said my knocking was from the axel.two days later its still knocking I had another shop diagnose the knocking to it was the (rack and pinion).I took it back to Dodge and told them and they argued and said no that's not it.two days later they ordered a rack and pinion.now the car has been stalling out on me, the shifting problem is back again.one the high way going 75 mph there is a terrible noise coming from tire area along with a vibration that I feel on my feet coming from under the car.going around highway corners the back end feels like it's slides.all this with in 1 month of owning this car.this car is not and never will be safe for my kids and I, no matter how many times they try to fix it.I got invoices and everything document and I will be getting a lawyer for having to pay 15000 for a lemon when I told the dealership I wanted something else cause there is to many things wrong with it when it's only two years old.I was told no its to late I got all the messages saves on messenger from the sales men at the dealership.what do they expect me to do after the warranties up and it still has issues I can't afford that.I bought a new car so I didn't need to put money into it. This car is a lemon@iwillproveit
No oil light on, no engine light, and it stalled. There is a problem with oil consumption with the 2.4 engine. My car died after backing out of my driveway and starting a turn. Y car stalled out twice in the middle of intersections very dangerous. Battery light came on, music continued, but enginge just died. The steering wheel froze (no more power steering), and I couldn't press my brake down, it just sat there in the road. I checked the level of my oil and it doesn't even cover the curved part of the dipstick, that's how low it is.the car stalled out again, a few months after the oil change. The car is not indicating when it needs oil, and is shutting itself off so it doesn't over heat while driving at speeds 70mph+ and in the middle of intersections while turning.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. While driving approximately 40 mph, a loud noise emerged from the transmission area. The vehicle shook and then stalled without warning. The contact shifted the gear into park and the vehicle returned to normal. The contact stated that the failure occurred four other times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer each time, but they could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer sent a field engineer to evaluate the vehicle and no manufacturer defects were found. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 23,000.
The vehicle shifts improperly and when stepping on the accelerator it could either slowly get up to desired speed or the engine does not initially respond but will then get to a high RPM and there is a surge in power and you are propelled forward. In addition to this the vehicle stalls when braking. The engine starts to stutter and fails when returning to a stop but will either get back up and running if you don't stop entirely or it will stall which will then require you to turn it off and then turn it back on again. This has happened on the street and when on the highway has happened as well
Well for starters. My check engine light came on for a faulty thermostat. I went and had it replaced and now ever since I got that replaced I noticed my temperature gauge fluctuations. It has plenty of fluid inside the radiator so I don't know what the deal is. I started to notice it every time when I'm parked in one place. I need this problem to be resolved right away.
